Atmospheric water vapor content over land surfaces derived from the AVHRR data: application to the Iberian Peninsula
1999
A study has been carried out using simulated NOAA/advanced very high resolution radiometer (AVHRR) data at 11 and 12 /spl mu/m (with LOWTRAN-7, MODTRAN 2.0, and the TIGR database), AVHRR images of the Iberian Peninsula and the Palma de Mallorca Island, radiosonde observations at seven meteorological stations, and the AVISO database provided by Meteo France to describe, compare, and analyze two different approaches for estimating the total atmospheric water vapor content (W) over land surfaces from AVHRR data. These two techniques are: 1) the split-window covariance-variance ratio (SWCVR), based on a quadratic relationship between W and the ratio of the spatial covariance and variance of bri…
The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child's Role in Litigation Before the Committee of Experts of the African Children's Charter
2020
On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, this article contributes to a reflection about the Convention's impact on domestic and international case law by investigating its role in, and implications for, litigation before the African Committee of Experts on the Rights and Welfare of the Child. To this end, the analysis starts by tracing the core aspects of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, and by comparing its content to that of the UN Convention. It then investigates the extent to which, in its practice, the African Committee has engaged with (or, indeed, ignored or overlooked) the UN Convention, and critically assess…
Incidence and Clinical Impact of Right Ventricular Involvement (Biventricular Ballooning) in Takotsubo Syndrome: Results From the GEIST Registry
2021
Background: The short- and long-term prognosis of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) presenting with right ventricular (RV) involvement remains poorly understood. Research Question: What is the incidence and clinical outcome of RV involvement in TTS? Study Design and Methods: This study analyzed 839 consecutive patients with TTS (758 female subjects and 81 male subjects) in a multicenter registry. RV involvement was defined as wall motion abnormality of the RV free wall, with or without apical involvement. The median long-term follow-up was 2.1 years (interquartile range, 0.3-4.5 years). The primary outcome was in-hospital and out-of-hospital all-cause mortality. The secondary end point was a composi…
The vulnerability to exploitation of women migrant workers in agriculture in the EU: The need for a human rights and gender based approach
2018
This study, commissioned by the European Parliament’s Policy Department for Citizens' Rights and Constitutional Affairs at the request of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality, explores the working conditions of migrant women in agriculture in the EU, focusing on some case studies in Italy and Spain. In particular, it aims to examine the factors that render women vulnerable to exploitation, paying attention to gendered dynamics and power relations. The study contends that to prevent and combat exploitation in agriculture it is necessary to implement concerted actions aimed at tackling, from a human rights and gender perspective, the structural factors of a socio-economic syste…
apuesta por un reconocimiento constitucional amplio del derecho al trabajo y a la seguridad social en Ecuador
2021
espanolLa integracion del derecho al trabajo en el constitucionalismo social de posguerra se caracterizo, entre otras cuestiones, por la incorporacion de la division del trabajo, diferenciando entre aquel remunerado, integrado en las normas constitucionales y sobre el que se asento en gran medida el reconocimiento de un amplio conjunto de derechos sociales; y el no remunerado, ausente del reconocimiento constitucional y normativo y condenado a la invisibilizacion y a ser acumulado sobre el anterior. Esta diferenciacion se fundamento, evidentemente, en la division sexual del trabajo integrada en la conjuncion del patriarcado con el sistema capitalista y recogida en las normas del constitucio…

Legislation prescribes that the information provided by the medical professional to the minor patient must be not only easy-to-understand, but also be consistent with the patient’s age maturity. However, in Latvia, for example, there are no guidelines that specify how medical…
Transcranial direct current stimulation over the right DLPFC selectively modulates subprocesses in working memory
2018
Background Working memory, as a complex system, consists of two independent components: manipulation and maintenance process, which are defined as executive control and storage process. Previous studies mainly focused on the overall effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on working memory. However, little has been known about the segregative effects of tDCS on the sub-processes within working memory. Method Transcranial direct current stimulation, as one of the non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, is being widely used to modulate the cortical activation of local brain areas. This study modified a spatial n-back experiment with anodal and cathodal tDCS exertion on th…
Acute aortic dissection debut as STEMI: A case report
2014
Abstract We submit a case report of a 66-year-old male, with hypertension and family history of cerebrovascular disease, who was referred to our department for right-inferior STEMI. According to the current ESC (European Society of Cardiology) guidelines for the management of STEMI, the patient was conducted to the cath lab to perform primary PCI. Despite the identification of the culprit lesion we had many difficulties during the procedure of angioplasty, so we decided to perform aortography that showed a Stanford type A acute aortic dissection involving the ostium of right coronary artery causing the right-inferior STEMI. In the early phase of a STEMI, exclusion of the presence of aortic …
