Pincio y los Estados Unidos que no son los Estados Unidos

2015

Lo neofantástico en Tommaso Pincio se distingue de lo fantástico posmoderno de nuestros escritores. Se basa en la realidad estadounidense contemporánea; la introduce en un proceso de elaboraciones enfáticas, mezclas, transfiguraciones, y la convierte en el símbolo de otro mundo, de un planeta extraño. Pincio llega a esta operación creativa gracias a su conocimiento de las tradiciones y de las costumbres, de la historia, de la cultura y de la literatura de los Estados Unidos. De todo eso quiere darse una idea en este ensayo, analizando la segunda novela de Pincio, Spazio sfinito, en la que se representa a unos Estados Unidos que no son Estados Unidos.

Spectrum of liver lesions hyperintense on hepatobiliary phase: an approach by clinical setting.

2021

AbstractHepatobiliary MRI contrast agents are increasingly being used for liver imaging. In clinical practice, most focal liver lesions do not uptake hepatobiliary contrast agents. Less commonly, hepatic lesions may show variable signal characteristics on hepatobiliary phase. This pictorial essay reviews a broad spectrum of benign and malignant focal hepatic observations that may show hyperintensity on hepatobiliary phase in various clinical settings. In non-cirrhotic patients, focal hepatic observations that show hyperintensity in the hepatobiliary phase are usually benign and typically include focal nodular hyperplasia. In patients with primary or secondary vascular disorders, focal nodul…

A Combined Multi-Cohort Approach Reveals Novel and Known Genome-Wide Selection Signatures for Wool Traits in Merino and Merino-Derived Sheep Breeds.

2019

Merino sheep represents a valuable genetic resource worldwide. In this study, we investigated selection signatures in Merino (and Merino-derived) sheep breeds using genome-wide SNP data and two different approaches: a classical F-ST-outlier method and an approach based on the analysis of local ancestry in admixed populations. In order to capture the most reliable signals, we adopted a combined, multi-cohort approach. In particular, scenarios involving four Merino breeds (Spanish Merino, Australian Merino, Chinese Merino, and Sopravissana) were tested via the local ancestry approach, while nine pair-wise breed comparisons contrasting the above breeds, as well as the Gentile di Puglia breed, …

The quest for promoting integrated care in the Nordic countries – recent reform initiatives, outcomes and obstacles

2013

Coordination between primary and secondary health care has been the core of Nordic health policy during the last decade [1]. In 2012, Norway introduced a cooperation reform aiming for strengthening integration between primary and secondary health care [2]. Previously, Denmark introduced in 2007 “The Local Government Reform” to improve integration in the health care sector. During the last decades, Sweden has restructured for a more community oriented health care system [4]. The objective of the paper are to compare integrated health policy measures and reforms and their outcomes in Denmark, Sweden and Norway, with regard to success and obstacles for improving “seamless” health care. Current…

Desarrollo local y cambio social. ¿Realidad o utopía?

2008

El presente artículo reflexiona y plantea un discurso crítico sobre el verdadero alcance de la actividad profesional de los Agentes de Desarrollo Local (ADL) como impulsores del desarrollo social de la población, en la aplicación, desarrollo y ejecución de las políticas activas de empleo a nivel local. En primer lugar, presentamos una aproximación al concepto de política sociolaboral, destacando la importancia de conjugar su doble vertiente, tanto económica como social, poniendo de manifiesto el nivel de actuación local como el más adecuado para reducir la actual situación de desempleo. En segundo lugar, basándonos en de los resultados de un estudio de casos de la comarca valenciana de La R…

This article analyzes whether expenditure on the provision of merit goods, culture, health, education, and sports, by local governments, in medium-sized cities (between 20,000 and 100,000 inhabitants) is tied to the electoral cycle

Transformative Policies for the Social and Solidarity Economy: The New Generation of Public Policies Fostering the Social Economy in Order to Achieve…

2020

The United Nations Agenda 2030 has recognized that Social Economy (SE) entities play an important role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In order to maximize the impact of the SE, governments have recently deployed new policies regarding these entities. The objective is to understand the context of policy change that has allowed these policies to emerge, their main characteristics and the critical factors in their construction and implementation. Successful policy cases in Europe and Spain have been studied. Qualitative data have been collected through key policy documents, experts, and focus groups. As a main finding, the study shows that this new model of policies exhi…

Regional leadership: a systemic view

2012

Published version of an article in the journal: Systemic Practice and Action Research. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11213-012-9268-2 New innovation and industrial policies contribute to the development of an informal economy and have increased collaborative processes across sectors and social spheres within regions. This paper addresses the role of regional leadership in the informal economy. By themselves, network processes increase complexity and create a series of uncertainties that differ from processes that are steered through the hierarchical procedures of public bureaucracy or regulated through the judicial and competitive mechanisms of the market.…

Resurrection of Pomphorhynchus tereticollis (Rudolphi, 1809) (Acanthocephala: Pomphorhynchidae) based on new morphological and molecular data

2011

Abstract Pomphorhynchus tereticollis (Rudolphi, 1809) is here redescribed on the basis of Rudolphi’s material, deposited in the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, and on acanthocephalans recently collected from the type host Platichthys flessus (L.) and the region embodying the type locality. Out of the paratypes of P. tereticollis, the lectotype and paralectotypes have been designated. Their morphology fits well with that of newly collected material of P. tereticollis dissected from the type fish host from the Baltic coast near Stralsund. The resurrection of P. tereticollis, previously considered a synonym of Pomphorhynchus laevis (Zoega in Müller, 1779), is supported by several morphological f…
