Item Response Trees: a recommended method for analyzing categorical data in behavioral studies
2015
Behavioral data are notable for presenting challenges to their statistical analysis, often due to the difficulties in measuring behavior on a quantitative scale. Instead, a range of qualitative alternative responses is recorded. These can often be understood as the outcome of a sequence of binary decisions. For example, faced by a predator, an individual may decide to flee or stay. If it stays, it may decide to freeze or display a threat and if it displays a threat, it may choose from several alternative forms of display. Here we argue that instead of being analyzed using traditional nonparametric statistics or a series of separate analyses split by response categories, this kind of data ca…

Spain and the international scientific conferences on polio, 1940s-1960s
2010
The development of international health from a historical point of view has undergone major advances in recent times and constitutes a substantial part of the current agenda for historians of medicine. Within this framework, and focussing on a specific case study (international responses to poliomyelitis outbreaks in the 20th century), we explore the main actions and achievements of agencies such as the WHO and other private and international scientific organizations. Furthermore, this paper seeks to identify the Spanish presence and absence in these activities, their causes and consequences.
Muscle function in monozygotic female twin pairs discordant for hormone replacement therapy
2011
Introduction: Postmenopausal monozygotic twin pairs discordant for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) provide an advantageous study design controlling for genetic background for elucidating the relationships between aging, sex hormone levels, muscle strength, contractile capacity, and fatigability. Methods: Thirteen postmenopausal monozygotic twin pairs discordant for HRT were measured for maximal voluntary torque (MVC) and twitch characteristics using electrical stimulation before and after intermittent dynamic plantarflexor exercise until exhaustion. Results: Peak twitch torque was 32% higher in HRT users than in their non-HRT, genetically identical sisters (P = 0.002), but MVC did not dif…
La estrategia del hidrógeno de la Unión Europea
2023
Esta publicación ha sido financiada a través de la Cátedra Unesco 2023 de la Universidad de Valencia. El documento aborda la importancia del hidrógeno como fuente de energía limpia y su papel en la transición hacia un sistema energético sostenible. También se analiza la estrategia de la Unión Europea en relación al hidrógeno y se destacan las iniciativas y políticas implementadas para promover su uso en diferentes sectores. The document addresses the importance of hydrogen as a clean energy source and its role in the transition to a sustainable energy system. It also examines the European Union's strategy regarding hydrogen and highlights the initiatives and policies implemented to promote …
Extracellular vesicles and high‐density lipoproteins: Exercise and oestrogen‐responsive small RNA carriers
2023
Decreased systemic oestrogen levels (i.e., menopause) affect metabolic health. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying this process remain unclear. Both oestrogens and exercise have been shown to improve metabolic health, which may be partly mediated by circulating microRNA (c-miR) signalling. In recent years, extracellular vesicles (EV) have increased interest in the field of tissue crosstalk. However, in many studies on EV-carried miRs, the co-isolation of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles with EVs has not been considered, potentially affecting the results. Here, we demonstrate that EV and HDL particles have distinct small RNA (sRNA) content, including both host and nonhost sRN…
Partidario de la barbarie. Pasolini, Medea, 1969.
2014
El artículo muestra la utilización del mito que hace Pasolini en su película Medea (1969), en la que contrapone el mundo arcaico, bárbaro y mágico de Medea al moderno, civilizado y racional de Jasón. La oposición no implica solo un plano temporal (pasado / presente), sino también espacial (Europa / Oriente), y sirve al escritor y cineasta para expresar su crítica a la alienación de la cultura europea en un sentido amplio, que comprende desde las relaciones humanas a la justicia y la religión. Todos estos aspectos se articulan en una película de extraordinaria densidad cuya riqueza significativa no se agota en esta propuesta de análisis.
Ethnographic approach to participation in EU policy : developing polyspatial agency
2022
This article uses an ethnographic approach to study citizens’ participation in the context of participatory practices organized in the framework of cultural policy of the European Union. It focuses on one EU policy action, European Heritage Label (EHL) and one cultural heritage site that has received this label. The research data was collected through participant observation and interviews with young people who participated in the activities organized on and by the site. This article asks: what meanings the participants give to participation. By analysing the participants’ experiences of the site and their conceptions of participation, I develop the notion of ‘polyspatial agency’. The ethno…
La fauna indoeuropea. Sobre els noms del llop i el camell en ie.
2015
Els noms d’animals salvatges i domèstics ocupen un lloc principal en tots els estudis sobre vocabulari, cultura o economia dels indoeuropeus. La seua reconstrucció serveix com a il·lustració molt aclaridora d’un poble que passa de ser nòmada a sedentari i que, probablement fugint d’una climatologia extrema, protagonitza una gran expansió cap a indrets més temperats i fèrtils on descobreix i estén la ramaderia i l’agricultura. En aquest treball farem un breu repàs a la nòmina tradicionalment acceptada d’animals del món indoeuropeu i en revisarem l’etimologia de dos d’ells: el llop, prototip d’animal ferotge en totes les cultures indoeuropees (lupus est homo hominis), i el camell, oblidat en …
