Aspects of soil phenolic matter (SPM): An explorative investigation in agricultural, agroforestry, and wood ecosystems
2014
Abstract This paper assesses the distribution of soil phenolic matter (SPM) in soil environments from a pedological perspective, with particular emphasis on soil horizonation and its involvement in pedogenic processes. The study was conducted on 15 soil profiles (Andosols, Calcisols, Cambisols, Lixisols, Phaeozems, Podzols, Umbrisols) covering five distinct ecosystems. Although the ecosystems were virtually homogeneous in and of themselves, they represented strongly contrasting climates, geolithology and morphology, land use and vegetation cover (intensive agriculture, chestnut grove, alpine pasture, woody reforestations, and natural woods). Three main SPM fractions were categorised: (i) “t…
Selective Brain Network and Cellular Responses Upon Dimethyl Fumarate Immunomodulation in Multiple Sclerosis
2019
Background: Efficient personalized therapy paradigms are needed to modify the disease course and halt gray (GM) and white matter (WM) damage in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Presently, promising disease-modifying drugs show impressive efficiency, however, tailored markers of therapy responses are required. Here, we aimed to detect in a real-world setting patients with a more favorable brain network response and immune cell dynamics upon dimethyl fumarate (DMF) treatment. Methods: In a cohort of 78 MS patients we identified two thoroughly matched groups, based on age, disease duration, disability status and lesion volume, receiving DMF (n = 42) and NAT (n = 36) and followed them ove…
El laberinto de la sucesión de estados respecto de los tratados internacionales sobre derechos humanos
2021
This Article analyses the effects of succession of States in respect of international treaties on human rights. This is a matter not codified by the Vienna Convention on Succession of States in respect of Treaties. We have to bear in mind that human rights treaties have been adopted by international organisations, which have developed their own practice both for the succession of States as States Members of an international organisation and for the succession of States as Contracting Parties to treaties that the United Nations, the Council of Europe or the European Union have adopted in the field of human rights.
