Ficciones inmunitarias. Sobre la lógica de la inmunidad en la cultura contemporánea

2018

This article develops the concept of “immunitarian fiction” taking as paradigmatic examples epidemics and zombie narratives, which share the idea of contagion as the main matrix of their narrative. The article tries to address the following question: in what way do these fictions, and other similar ones, participate in the imaginary of immunity and, at the same time, show some of their internal contradictions? For this, the text reflects on a set of cultural products of mass diffusion (novels, television series, cinematographic works). We analyze, in the first place, how these fictions highlight the fears and social anxieties linked to the tensions of the “immune paradigm” and represent the…

Serological Follow-Up Study Indicates High Seasonal Coronavirus Infection and Reinfection Rates in Early Childhood

2022

Seasonal human coronaviruses (HCoVs) cause respiratory infections, especially in children. Currently, the knowledge on early childhood seasonal coronavirus infections and the duration of antibody levels following the first infections is limited. Here we analyzed serological follow-up samples to estimate the rate of primary infection and reinfection(s) caused by seasonal coronaviruses in early childhood. Serum specimens were collected from 140 children at ages of 13, 24, and 36 months (1, 2, and 3 years), and IgG antibody levels against recombinant HCoV nucleoproteins (N) were measured by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Altogether, 84% (118/140) of the children were seropositive for at least one s…

Los efectos de la adversidad climática y sanitaria sobre la agricultura y la sociedad castellonense del siglo XVIII

2017

El presente artículo recurre a la microhistoria para analizar los archivos municipales de la Plana de Castelló, con el objetivo de obtener nuevas referencias sobre la evolución climática de la fachada mediterránea peninsular durante un periodo cronológico concreto: el siglo XVIII, enclavado en los estadios finales de la Pequeña Edad de Hielo. Con esta finalidad, se abordarán las principales sequías, precipitaciones extremas, plagas y epidemias acontecidas en la Plana de Castelló durante el Setecientos, y aquellos recursos, tanto religiosos como seculares, utilizados para prevenir, primero, y erradicar, después, las adversidades climáticas, biológicas y sanitarias. This paper discusses a mic…

Adoption of a COVID-19 Contact Tracing App Among Older Internet Users in Finland

2022

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic created an unequal need for limiting physical contacts and tracing possible exposures to a novel coronavirus. Smartphone-based contact tracing applications (CTAs) were presented as a vehicle for stopping virus transmission chains and supporting the work of contact tracing teams. In this study, older adults’ adoption of a CTA was studied using socioeconomic background factors, satisfaction with health, and the measure of digital activity as predictors. The data were drawn from a larger questionnaire survey targeted at older internet users. A subsample of older Finnish internet users (N = 723) was analyzed using a logistic regression model. Results showed…

Wicked behavior and catastrophes in the Roman world: believes, religiosity and politic

2014

La religión es un componente tan esencial en las sociedades del Mundo Antiguo que de su correcta difusión y de la perfecta realización de los cultos depende la disposición de los dioses y, con ella, el devenir de los acontecimientos. En la vida práctica, esto se transmite en dos ámbitos: la élite, el grupo encargado de la celebración de los ritos no puede cometer errores en su tarea; y el pueblo, todos los habitantes del territorio tienen que adherirse a la religión “estatal”. Cuando en alguno de estos dos elementos se producen fallos, se suceden prodigios y catástrofes de cualquier tipo. Frente a esto, la solución consiste en: castigo del causante o causantes de la impiedad y reparación de…

Psychological adjustment of Spanish adolescents and their parents during COVID- 19 lockdown: A mixed method approach

A total of 142 people agreed to participate in this study. Of all participants, 61 were adolescents (M = 13.57; SD = 1.…
