The role of the agreement as a tool for management of property relations in cases of cross border marriages and civil unions/partnerships registered …
2021
The essay examines the role of the agreement as a tool for managing property relationships in crossborder marriages and registered partnerships, in light of EU Regulations 1103 and 1104 of 2016, on the property regimes of international married or registered couples. The main prerogative of such acts is the recognition of the parties? freedom to choose the court and the applicable law. The law governing the matrimonial property regimes, or the property consequences of registered partnerships, has universal scope. This agreement in the form envisaged, which is backed by the need for legal certainty and predictability of the applicable rules, means that the spouses, in family problems which ha…
Futile Therapy versus Worthy Dying: Anthropological and Ethical Arguments
2020
Nowadays, issues related to the final stages of life stand more and more at the centre of problems relating to life and health, which result, for example, from the demographic situation in highly developed societies. In the last decades of the twentieth century, an explosion of therapeutic possibilities in the field of technical medicine has caused such questions to be voiced more and more frequently: Should humans try to live as long as possible, or should they live as long as they can with dignity and then die with dignity? Despite the seemingly obvious answer, there is still considerable medical and social resistance to the policy of discontinuing futile therapy. There are probably many …
Precision Agriculture: Past, Present and Future
2011
From 1978 the Global Positioning System, needed for sensing the position of military targets (e.g. buildings, machinery), was developed as a pure military system, while in 1983 it was made available also for public use. Therefore, at the beginning of 80s precision agriculture, requiring GPS for sensing the position to which any measured field parameter must be geo-referenced, was implemented for the first time in US. In fact, soil and crop parameters are spatially variable in a field, so that spatially uniform rate crop input applications cause increased environmental impact and crop input waste. In order to reduce the environmental impact and optimise the use of crop inputs, precision agri…
Relevancia del macrófago como fuente de ligandos WNT en las complicaciones asociadas a la enfermedad de crohn
2019
La fibrosis y las fistulas son complicaciones frecuentes de la enfermedad de Crohn cuya etiopatogenia es desconocida. La cronicidad de la inflamación junto con alteraciones en la reparación tisular tras un daño, se han relacionado con estas complicaciones. Los macrófagos son células del sistema inmunitario innato ampliamente implicadas en la regulación de ambos procesos y como consecuencia en el desarrollo de la fibrosis. Estas células presentan elevada plasticidad y un continuo espectro de fenotipos funcionales que explican la diversidad de funciones que regulan. Recientes estudios han demostrado que los macrófagos, a través de vías de señalización dependientes de Stat6, actúan como fuente…
Differential Effects of Mindfulness-Based Intervention Programs at Work on Psychological Wellbeing and Work Engagement.
2021
Two different mindfulness-based interventions were deployed in a sample of white-collar workers to explore the differential effects on different facets of mindfulness, dimensions of psychological wellbeing, work engagement, performance, and stress of a participant. A total of 28 participants completed one of the different programs, and their results were compared between groups and against 27 participants randomly allocated to a waiting list control group. Results suggest both mindfulness intervention programs were successful at increasing the levels of psychological wellbeing, work engagement, and performance of the participants, as well as decreasing their levels of stress. Significant di…
Differential effects of workaholism and work engagement on the interference between life and work domains
2018
This study analyzed the differences between workaholism and work engagement in relation to their influence on work–life interference. Workaholism is an addiction to work, characterized by obsessive attitude towards job, whereas work engagement concerns a positive pattern of thoughts and feelings about one’s job; these two constructs thus represent pathological and healthy forms of heavy work investment, respectively. As a consequence, it was expected that workaholism and work engagement would have different effects on perceived interference between work and life domains. We assessed levels of workaholism, work engagement, work-to-life interference, and life-to-work interference in a sample …
Strain hardening in liquid-particle suspensions
2005
The behavior of a liquid-particle suspension induced to sheared motion was analyzed by numerical simulations. When the velocity (strain) of the suspension began to increase, its viscosity first stayed almost constant, but increased then rapidly to a clearly higher level. This increase in viscosity is shown to be related to formation of clusters of suspended particles. Clusters are shown to increase the viscosity by enhanced momentum transfer though clustered particles. This is the mechanism behind the strain-hardening phenomenon observed in small-strain experiments on liquid-particle suspensions.
La carga mental de los profesionales de Enfermería en relación con su turno laboral
2019
Resumen: La carga mental es el conjunto de requerimientos mentales, cognitivos o intelectuales a los que se ven sometidos los trabajadores a lo largo de su jornada laboral. El presente estudio pretende conocer la prevalencia de los niveles de carga mental en profesionales de Enfermería de varias unidades de hospitalización de un hospital, así como su relación con el turno de trabajo y otros factores sociodemográficos y laborales. Para ello se ha realizado un estudio cuantitativo de carácter descriptivo, prospectivo y transversal. Los resultados nos indican que un 55% de los enfermeros tienen un nivel de carga mental medio y más del 40%, un nivel alto. Abstract: The mental load is the set of…
A virtual spreader to overcome experimental limits: Example of use to deepen the meaning of the transverse coefficient of variation
2021
National audience; Nowadays, centrifugal spreading is the most used method to apply fertiliser in fields. Numeroustechnical developments have improved spreaders to reach high precision applications.Nevertheless, these developments have never taken into account the influence of the spreadingvelocity variation on the shape of the spread pattern. However, practical examples show that speedvariations regularly happen in the field. For instance, high speeds applications require punctualslowing down because of:- Trees or posts;- Slopes, hills;- Field borders/ends.Technical devices already exist to avoid the influence of the travel speed on the disc rotation speedand on the application rate in fie…
