2006
12 pages, and tables statics, and figures
The first community-based report on the effect of genital Schistosoma haematobium infection on female fertility.
2009
A cross-sectional study in an Schistosoma haematobium endemic area of rural Zimbabwe examined 483 resident women between the ages of 20 and 49 years who were interviewed about fertility. S. haematobium ova in genital tissue was found to be significantly associated with infertility.
La construcción del concepto autónomo de residencia habitual del menor en los supuestos de sustracción internacional de menores = The construction of…
2019
Resumen: La concreción de la residencia habitual del menor en los supuestos de sustracción internacional de menores ha resultado especialmente problemática por varias razones. En primer lugar por las interpretaciones divergentes que se han dado en los diferentes ordenamientos jurídicos y, en segundo término, por plantearse de manera especialmente delicada en estos supuestos en los que concurre la sustracción internacional de menores. Y, finalmente y a mayor abundamiento, por la ausencia de un concepto de residencia habitual del menor en la normativa reguladora. Probablemente, la necesidad de concretarlo, en aras al principio del interés superior del menor, en atención a criterios fácticos q…
Multi-chronometric ages and origin of Archaean tonalitic gneisses in Finnish Lapland: A case for long crustal residence time
1984
The Tojottamanselka gneisses of the Koitelainen region, northern Finland, have been dated by the Sm-Nd and the common Pb methods. The Sm-Nd data of seven samples from a small area (100 m × 100 m) define an isochron ofT=3.06±0.12 (2σ) Ga, with correspondingINd=0.50848±9 (2σ), oreNd(T)=−3.7±1.8. This age is in good agreement with the zircon U-Pb discordia age (3.1 Ga) reported by Kroner et al. (1981) and is interpreted as the time of magmatic emplacement. The distinctly negativeeNd(T) value is found for the first time for Archean tonalitic gneisses and implies derivation of these magmas by remelting of continental material with a long (200–500 Ma) crustal residence time. A few samples, on the…
Impacto social de un gran evento deportivo: el Gran Premio de Europa de Fórmula 1. (Social impact of a major athletic event: The Formula 1 Grand Prix…
2012
The aim of this study was to analyse the residents´ perceptions of the impact of the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Europe after the first three races (2008, 2009 and 2010) in the city of Valencia. Therefore, we surveyed 1,065 residents to analyse their opinion of this event. Results indicate that aspects related to the economic benefits, the image, the athletic prestige, and opening the city up to the world are those which are rated the highest. However, aspects related to job creation, public investment, problems related to noise and traffic, public transportation and security, taking full advantage of and utility of infrastructure, and increase in sports practice and facilities are the worst ra…
Does Commuting Reduce Wage Disparities?
2004
This paper shows that in the Baltic countries, commuting reduces urban-rural wage and employment disparities and increases national output. To quantify the effect of commuting on wage differentials, two sets of earnings functions are estimated (based on Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian Labor Force Surveys) with location variables (capital city, rural, etc.) measured at the workplace and at the place of residence. We find that the ceteris paribus wage gap between capital city and rural areas, as well as between capital and other cities is significantly narrowed by commuting in some cases but remains almost unchanged in other. Different outcomes are explained by country-specific spatial patt…

2017
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan inkerilaisten paluumuuttajien kasityksia kielitutkinnosta, joka heidan oli suoritettava saadakseen oleskeluluvan Suomeen niin sanotulla inkerilaisstatuksella. Kielitutkinto oli kaytossa vuosina 2003–2016. Tarkastelun kohteena ovat myos taman kielitutkinnon vaikutukset kielenopiskeluun. Aineistona ovat paluumuuttovalmennukseen osallistuneiden, tutkintoon valmistautuneiden henkiloiden (n = 97) vastaukset kyselyyn, jonka he tekivat ennen kielitutkinnon suorittamista. Aineistoa tarkastellaan sisallonanalyysin keinoin. Aineiston perusteella kielenoppijat tiesivat tutkinnon rakenteesta ja sen suorittamisesta tietokoneella. Suorittajat olivat hyvin tietoisia myos siita, …
Social support provided by adolescents following a disaster and perceived social support, sense of community at school, and proactive coping.
2012
Heightened levels of support provision are systematically observed in adults immediately following natural disasters, yet knowledge about adolescents' social support provision is less extensive. This longitudinal study of 262 adolescents assessed their help-providing behaviors during and after a flood. It was hypothesized that social support provided by adolescents would relate to subsequent perceptions of their relationships with others and perceptions of the self. Descriptive analyses demonstrated that the majority of respondents reported that they provided tangible, emotional, and informational support to others in need. A series of hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated tha…
Chronic high risk of intimate partner violence against women in disadvantaged neighborhoods: An eight-year space-time analysis
2020
Abstract We conducted a small-area ecological longitudinal study to analyze neighborhood contextual influences on the spatio-temporal variations in intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) risk in a southern European city over an eight-year period. We used geocoded data of IPVAW cases with associated protection orders (n = 5867) in the city of Valencia, Spain (2011–2018). The city's 552 census block groups were used as the neighborhood units. Neighborhood-level covariates were: income, education, immigrant concentration, residential instability, alcohol outlet density, and criminality. We used a Bayesian autoregressive approach to spatio-temporal disease mapping. Neighborhoods with l…
Cross-Sectional Associations between Homoarginine, Intermediate Phenotypes, and Atrial Fibrillation in the Community—The Gutenberg Health Study
2018
Homoarginine has come into the focus of interest as a biomarker for cardiovascular disease. Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes a substantial increase in morbidity and mortality. Whether circulating homoarginine is associated with occurrence or persistence of AF and may serve as a new predictive biomarker remains unknown. We measured plasma levels of homoarginine in the population-based Gutenberg health study (3761 patients included, of them 51.7% males), mean age 55.6 ±
