Altered cerebral blood flow velocity features in fibromyalgia patients in resting-state conditions
2017
[EN] The aim of this study is to characterize in resting-state conditions the cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) signals of fibromyalgia patients. The anterior and middle cerebral arteries of both hemispheres from 15 women with fibromyalgia and 15 healthy women were monitored using Transcranial Doppler (TCD) during a 5-minute eyes-closed resting period. Several signal processing methods based on time, information theory, frequency and time-frequency analyses were used in order to extract different features to characterize the CBFV signals in the different vessels. Main results indicated that, in comparison with control subjects, fibromyalgia patients showed a higher complexity of the envel…
Les Religions Représentent-elles un Risque pour les Droits de L’homme en France?
2016
Le 13 novembre 2015 la France a été frappé par le terrorisme au nom d'un supposé idéal religieux. De ce fait une question se pose : les religions représenteraient-elles un danger pour les droits de l'homme en France ? Pour mieux comprendre la conjoncture actuelle il est nécessaire de réfléchir à la relation particulière qu'a entretenu la France avec les faits religieux tout au long de l'histoire. Il est possible de vérifier que L'Etat de droit a voulu encadrer les religions pour limiter les menaces possibles à travers le principe de laïcité. Ce principe est le plus cohérent pour la garantie des droits de l'homme dans un Etat démocratique. Cependant, a force de vouloir protéger les droits de…
A New Methodology to Assess Territorial Competence for Sustainable Local Development: The READI® (Resources-Actors-Dynamics) Matrix
2021
[EN] The ability of a territory to manage certain sustainable development processes increasingly depends on its capacity to apply previous diagnostic processes to its current situation. For this reason, methodologies that facilitate the detection of needs and/or potentialities of the territory are key to meeting its anticipated sustainable development goals. We present the most notable results of the research methodology carried out in the province of Valencia (Spain) that has enabled the construction of a matrix of indicators that allow these previous diagnostic processes to be put into practice at a local level, based on the participation of the territory's socioeconomic actors.
El desarrollo humano sostenible: un compromiso educativo
2017
Sustainable Human Development (hereafter SHD) is taking shape as a proposal for progress in the face of a crisis in civilization so complex and far-reaching that it is considered quite difficult to solve. The aim of this article is to offer a reasoned justification of the evolution of the concept of development and of the need for an educational commitment to be able to make progress towards it. Although it is still polemical and the object of criticism, SHD has become consolidated as a strongly ethical proposal to lead the change in the course of development, transversally affecting its multiple dimensions and advocating interdisciplinary and intercultural cooperation and dialogue. The art…
HR1 Robot: An Assistant for Healthcare Applications
2022
According to the World Health Organization1,2 the percentage of healthcare dependent population, such as elderly and people with disabilities, among others, will increase over the next years. This trend will put a strain on the health and social systems of most countries. The adoption of robots could assist these health systems in responding to this increased demand, particularly in high intensity and repetitive tasks. In a previous work, we compared a Socially Assistive Robot (SAR) with a Virtual Agent (VA) during the execution of a rehabilitation task. The SAR consisted of a humanoid R1 robot, while the Virtual Agent represented its simulated counter-part. In both cases, the agents evalua…
A probabilistic approach to learning a visually grounded language model through human-robot interaction
2010
A Language is among the most fascinating and complex cognitive activities that develops rapidly since the early months of infants' life. The aim of the present work is to provide a humanoid robot with cognitive, perceptual and motor skills fundamental for the acquisition of a rudimentary form of language. We present a novel probabilistic model, inspired by the findings in cognitive sciences, able to associate spoken words with their perceptually grounded meanings. The main focus is set on acquiring the meaning of various perceptual categories (e. g. red, blue, circle, above, etc.), rather than specific world entities (e. g. an apple, a toy, etc.). Our probabilistic model is based on a varia…
Del Sistema Europeo Común de Asilo al nuevo “Pacto sobre Migración y Asilo”: ¿Una nueva política de protección internacional es posible?
2021
Si bien la norma madre en materia de asilo es la Convención de Ginebra de 1951 y seguidamente el Protocolo de New York de 1967, éstos instrumentos internacionales necesitan de la voluntad política y una norma nacional para que sean efectivizados a nivel interno. Hasta la fecha, más de 145 países los han ratificado y seguidamente promulgaron sus propias leyes nacionales de asilo. Sin embargo, la práctica muestra que según el Estado del que se trate, el asilo, tendrá en él un tratamiento más proteccionista o restrictivo, pero nunca uniforme. En ese sentido, dentro del contexto de la Unión Europea (UE), desde 1999 se ha intentado atender el espíritu de la Convención de Ginebra a través de un S…
La enfermedad como rasgo humano. Hacia una consideración de la enfermedad en cuanto fenómeno existencial
2018
Resumen En el presente trabajo se investigan los alcances y las consecuencias que se desprenden de utilizar a Heidegger en el campo de la filosofía de la medicina. Con este fin, la investigación se divide en los siguientes puntos: 1) se explicitará en qué puede consistir una “antropologización” del pensamiento heideggeriano; 2) se ofrecerá una descripción general respecto de las teorías de la salud y enfermedad más significativas y actuales en el campo de la teoría de la medicina; 3) nos detendremos en el análisis relacionado con el problema de la enfermedad desde una perspectiva heideggeriana, para finalmente, 4) ofrecer algunas reflexiones críticas en relación con el análisis …

The prevention of labor risks in chile: Some reflection on the employer'S security obligation
2021
La prevención de riesgos laborales es un derecho básico de los trabajadores, por su evidente conexión con el derecho a la vida y a la salud. Su relevancia y complejidad jurídica merecen conocer cómo se regula el deber de seguridad en el ordenamiento jurídico chileno, cuáles son sus características más relevantes y cuál es el alcance de esta obligación empresarial The prevention of occupational hazards is a basic right of workers, connected with the right to life. It is important to know how it is regulated in the Chilean law, and analyze its most important characteristics. Universidad Pablo de Olavide
