Self-Perceived Health, Objective Health, and Quality of Life among People Aged 50 and Over: Interrelationship among Health Indicators in Italy, Spain…
2020
It is well known that self-perceived health (SPH), even if it is a subjective health indicator, is significantly associated with objective health and quality of life (QoL) in the general population. Whether it can be considered an indicator of cognitive functioning and quality of life in the elderly is still an open issue. This study used a data-driven approach to investigate the interrelationship among SPH, non-communicable diseases (NCDs), QoL, and cognitive functioning to answer this question. The study sample included information about 12,831 people living in Italy, Spain, and Greece, extracted from the Survey on Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe, in the year 2015. The additive Ba…
Controrivoluzione in Spagna. I carlisti nell'Assemblea costituente (1869-1871)
2021
Il carlismo è argomento assai poco frequentato dagli storici italiani. È un movimento antiliberale spagnolo dalla lunga durata e di grande influenza. Si oppone a radicali tentativi di rottura dell’ordine, come la rivoluzione del settembre 1868 che per sei anni interrompe il regno dei Borbone. Viene eletta un’assemblea che scrive una nuova Carta e designa re il figlio di Vittorio Emanuele II, Amedeo. Il carlismo reagisce – come mai prima – sul terreno della competizione politica non violenta, pur non abbandonando le armi. Il libro guarda al tema da una prospettiva nuova, perché non si occupa delle guerre civili che il gruppo scatena, ma della sua attività istituzionale. Esso, all’interno del…
Partiti, clientele, diplomazia: la nomina dei vescovi di Malta dalla donazione di Carlo V alla fine del viceregno spagnolo (1530-1713)
2011
La donazione di Malta da parte di Carlo V all’Ordine di S. Giovanni nel 1530 stabilì anche le modalità di nomina del vescovo dell’isola, la cui sede episcopale era soggetta fin dai tempi della conquista normanna al regio patronato e dunque al diritto di presentazione da parte del re di Sicilia: proposta da parte del gran maestro al sovrano spagnolo, tramite il viceré di Sicilia, di una terna graduata di candidati, previamente votata dal Consiglio dell’Ordine, appartenenti al grado di cappellano conventuale e di cui almeno uno siciliano. Da quel momento e sino alla fine del viceregno spagnolo di Sicilia (1713), dieci vescovi si alternarono sulla sede episcopale maltese. In questi quasi due s…
El carrusel de los obispos. Redes eclesiásticas en la Monarquía católica
2023
The royal patronage was configured as a space for mobility of bishops not only among the dioceses of continental Spain, but among all the kingdoms and territories of the Habsburg Monarchy, including America. In this context, the examination of the careers of the Spanish prelates who were bishops in Sicily (sometimes before or after occupying Neapolitan sees) allows to reconstruct well-drawn and narrow routes, which hardly communicate with each other. The investigation of these trajectories is a clear demonstration of how ecclesiastical careers woven a warp through the domains of the Habsburg Monarchy over which a web of close relations and exchanges of religious, cultural, and political exp…
Characteristics and treatment regimens across ERS SHARP severe asthma registries
2020
Little is known about the characteristics and treatments of patients with severe asthma across Europe, but both are likely to vary. This is the first study in the European Respiratory Society Severe Heterogeneous Asthma Research collaboration, Patient-centred (SHARP) Clinical Research Collaboration and it is designed to explore these variations. Therefore, we aimed to compare characteristics of patients in European severe asthma registries and treatments before starting biologicals.This was a cross-sectional retrospective analysis of aggregated data from 11 national severe asthma registries that joined SHARP with established patient databases.Analysis of data from 3236 patients showed many …
Characteristics of rice straw and sewage sludge as composting materials in Valencia (Spain).
2004
This work supports the idea that composting can be useful for minimizing the rice straw and sewage sludge environmental impact. Several physical, chemical and microbiological properties of these raw materials were analyzed. The characteristics of the rice straw were complementary to those of the sewage sludge for the application of composting. The C/N ratios suitable for a rapid increased in microbial activity were the lowest (17-24). A temperature of 62 degrees C during 48 h removed pathogenic microorganisms from rice straw and sewage sludge mixture. The results obtained in the present work suggested that these materials could be use in the composting process.
Tabaquismo activo y pasivo en personas adultas que viven con una pareja del mismo sexo en España
2018
Abstract Objective To assess the association between current active and passive tobacco smoking and living with a same-sex partner in Spain. Methods We analysed data from two cross-sectional national surveys of the Spanish population 15 years and older (2011-Encuesta Nacional de Salud en España and 2014-Encuesta Europea de Salud en España). Analyses included only people living with their partner. Associations were calculated using multiple logistic regressions adjusting for gender, social class and age. Results Current active and passive smoking were significantly associated with living with same sex partners (odds ratio: 2.71 and 2.88), and particularly strong among women. Conclusions Span…
The helminth community of the skink Chalcides sexlineatus from Gran Canaria (Canary Islands).
2012
AbstractA survey of the gastrointestinal helminth communities of a population of Chalcides sexlineatus Steindachner, a small skink endemic to Gran Canaria island (Canary Archipelago, Spain), was conducted to determine the prevalence, abundance and species diversity of intestinal parasites in these reptiles. Only three parasite species were found, one cestode, Oochoristica agamae Baylis, 1919 and two nematodes, Parapharyngodon micipsae (Seurat, 1917) and Pharyngodonidae gen. sp. Helminth infracommunities of C. sexlineatus showed low values of abundance and species richness and diversity, being more similar to the helminth community of Tarentola boettgeri boettgeri (Steindachner) rather than …
The life cycle ofBrachylaima ruminae n. sp. (Trematoda: Brachylaimidae), a parasite of rodents
1986
The life cycle of Brachylaima ruminae n.sp. (Trematoda: Brachylaimidae), a duodenal parasite of rodents on the Mediterranean island of Formentera (Spain) is elucidated. The new species follows a terrestrial triheteroxenous life cycle. Eggs passed in the faeces of the definitive host must be ingested by a specific first intermediate host, the land snail Rumina decollata. Branched cercariogenous sporocysts develop in the digestive gland. Microcercous cercariae come out through the terminal birth pores of the branches. Cercariae shed by the snail are terrestrial, crawling on humid substratum. They contact the second intermediate host, another land snail, principally the species R. decollata an…
Quand l’agriculture des pays riches crée de la pauvreté
2018
L’agriculture a toujours été un secteur où les tâches peu qualifiées sont restées très pourvoyeuses de main d’oeuvre ; ce sont majoritairement les immigrés fraîchement arrivés qui s’y adonnent, les natifs délaissant ces travaux pénibles, mal payés et peu valorisants. Nous allons analyser dans cette contribution l’extrême difficulté des « saisonniers-migrants » présents en Espagne. Pour cela, nous mettrons en résonnance les parcours de deux immigrés, originaires l’un du Maroc, l’autre du Mali, pour montrer comment ils sont littéralement devenus « prisonniers » de cette agriculture, sans pouvoir se construire — ni se projeter — dans un quelconque autre avenir, cette situation ayant été amplif…
