Public policies for the elderly from a human rights based approach
2021
El presente trabajo parte de la premisa de que el envejecimiento de la población es un fenómeno que hay que abordar desde las políticas públicas puesto que interroga a la sociedad en su conjunto y exige la responsabilidad de los Estados como garantes de los derechos de las personas mayores. Tales políticas deberán guiarse por los estándares y principios marcados por Naciones Unidas, el Consejo de Europa y la Unión Europea, que reclaman adoptar un enfoque basado en derechos Humanos y una atención integral centrada en la persona, como canales para articular un tratamiento adecuado de los derechos de las personas mayores, sin olvidar el compromiso ético de todos los agentes implicados en dar r…

Holographical Concept of Reality – a Unifying Theory for Physics, Neurobiology and Philosophy
2016
The aim of this article is to introduce readers to holographic concept of reality shared by different fields of science. It may show, that understanding the world around us is a task beyond our comprehension dues to its multi-level structure. Is it possible to learn about holographical reality with our limited human mind which itself could be a multi-dimensional hologram?
« La Photo stéréoscopique victorienne »
2014
Cette intervention orale présente la photo stéréoscopique des années 1860 en Angleterre et s'intéresse à la construction des images auxquelles elle donne lieu dans une volonté, toujours inaboutie et insatisfaisante de dupliquer le monde pour le consommateur.
Children in the visual coverage of the European refugee crisis: A case study of the World Press Photo 2016
2018
Shifts in the visual coverage of refugees arriving in Europe and prominent compassion fatigue emphasize the need to examine visual strategies utilized to report on the crisis. This study focuses on representations of refugee children using a case of the World Press Photo (WPP) 2016. The material was interpreted with a model for visual rhetorical interpretation of journalistic photographs. Findings indicate the main visual elements involved in representing refugee children: visual trope of the migrant father, relation between children and barriers, visual oxymoron (juxtaposition of contradictory elements) and atmosphere in photographs. Findings suggest that photographs address polemics speci…
Photoperiodic regulation of life-history traits before and after eclosion: egg-to-adult development time, juvenile body weight and reproductive diapa…
2012
Photoperiod is the main environmental cue used by northern insects to predict the forthcoming seasonal changes and to adjust their life-history traits to fit these changes. We studied the effects of photoperiod on egg-to-adult development time, juvenile body mass and female reproductive diapause in two northern Drosophila montana populations with different patterns of voltinism. The most interesting findings were consistent between the populations: (1) when maintained before eclosion in short day conditions, representing early autumn, the flies developed faster and were lighter than when maintained in long day conditions, representing early summer, (2) photoperiodic time measurement is appa…
Maternally‐transferred thyroid hormones and life‐history variation in birds
2022
1. In vertebrates, thyroid hormones (THs) play an important role in the regulation of growth, development, metabolism, photoperiodic responses and migration. Maternally transferred THs are important for normal early-phase embryonic development when embryos are not able to produce endogenous THs. Previous studies have shown that variation in maternal THs within the physiological range can influence offspring phenotype. 2. Given the essential functions of maternal THs in development and metabolism, THs may be a mediator of life-history variation across species. 3. We tested the hypothesis that differences in life histories are associated with differences in maternal TH transfer across species…
Kupan kehto. Prostituutio kansanterveydellisenä ongelmana 1800-luvun wieniläisten lääketieteilijöiden kirjoituksissa
2018
Järjestelmiä prostituution säätelemiseksi luotiin 1800-luvulla ympäri Eurooppaa. Wienissä prostituution säätely aloitettiin yli vuosikymmenen jatkuneiden debattien jälkeen vuonna 1873. Julkisen siveellisyyden suojelun ohella prostituoitujen rekisteröintiin ja säännöllisiin terveystarkastuksiin perustuneen säätelyjärjestelmän tavoitteena oli sukupuolitautien, erityisesti kupan, ennaltaehkäisy. Lääketieteilijöillä oli keskeinen rooli sekä säätelystä käydyssä julkisessa keskustelussa että sen käytännön toteutuksessa. Tämä artikkeli tutkii prostituutioon ympäri Eurooppaa kohdistunutta lääketieteellistä ongelmanmäärittelyä ja kontrollia tarkastelemalla wieniläislääkäreiden sekä wieniläisten lääk…
