«La voz de la conciencia». La conexión noológica de moralidad y religiosidad en Zubiri

2009

Estudio de la noción «voz de la conciencia» en la obra de Xavier Zubiri, tras una contextualización histórica del tema, mostrando su importancia en las obras más tardías, así como su conexión con las fuentes más relevantes en el pensamiento contemporáneo, en especial, la Fenomenología y la Analítica existencial de Heidegger. Se destaca la aportación zubiriana del análisis noológico de la voz de la conciencia, que distingue la experiencia moral y la religiosa, pero que descubre, a su vez, una peculiar conexión entre lo moral y lo religioso. Study of the notion «voice of conciousness» in the works of Xavier Zubiri, after a historic view, showing its relevance in the last works and its connect…

Balamane: Variations on a Noisy Ground

2020

This contribution concentrates on a discussion of four conceptual keywords – Helmut, Sunglasses, Water, Language – which we explore as semiotic variations on a ground. This approach to the contradictory everyday realities of the touristic setting in Mallorca is the result of our (self-)critical reflections on how to write about language, migration, encounters, the normal and the liminal in the party tourism spot – and on how to give a (personal) insight into the world of contradictions at the Ballermann. We are considerably grateful to our research colleagues Angelika Mietzner and Janine Traber, with whom we have been working on the complex entanglements of tourism and migration since 2016 …

Alpha-decay energies of superheavy nuclei for the Fayans functional

2016

Alpha-decay energies for several chains of super-heavy nuclei are calculated within the self-consistent mean-field approach by using the Fayans functional FaNDF$^0$. They are compared to the experimental data and predictions of two Skyrme functionals, SLy4 and SkM*, and of the macro-micro method as well. The corresponding lifetimes are calculated with the use of the semi-phenomenological formulas by Parkhomenko and Sobiczewski and by Royer and Zhang.

Living with an adult family member using advanced medical technology at home

2011

Living with an adult family member using advanced medical technology at home An increased number of chronically ill adults perform self-care while using different sorts of advanced medical technology at home. This hermeneutical study aimed to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of living with an adult family member using advanced medical technology at home. Eleven next of kin to adults performing self-care at home, either using long-term oxygen from a cylinder or ventilator, or performing peritoneal or haemodialysis, were interviewed. The qualitative interviews were analysed using a Gadamerian methodology. The main interpretation explained the meaning as rhythmical patterns of connec…

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (Val66Met) polymorphism does not influence recovery from a post-traumatic vegetative state: a blinded retrospective…

2012

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neurotrophin that influences neuronal plasticity throughout life. Emergence from a vegetative state (VS) after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) implies that the brain undergoes plastic changes. A common polymorphism in the BDNF gene—BDNF Val66Met (referred to herein as BDNFMet)—impairs cognitive function in healthy subjects. The aim of this study was to determine whether the BDNFMet polymorphism plays a role in the recovery of consciousness and cognitive functions in patients in a VS after a TBI. Fifty-three patients in a VS 1 month after a TBI were included in the study and genotyped for the BDNFMet polymorphism. Scores of levels of cognitive fun…

Measurable Residual Disease by Next-Generation Flow Cytometry in Multiple Myeloma.

2020

[Purpose] Assessing measurable residual disease (MRD) has become standard with many tumors, but the clinical meaning of MRD in multiple myeloma (MM) remains uncertain, particularly when assessed by next-generation flow (NGF) cytometry. Thus, we aimed to determine the applicability and sensitivity of the flow MRD-negative criterion defined by the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG).

Ownership in environmental management

1999

In this article the meaning of ownership is considered. Three categories of ownership are recognized and the efforts to influence environmental leadership and management are analysed based on the relevant important documents from the last 15 years. The article starts by categorising ownership. Next, the question of who owns the right to lead/manage, and therefore the right to control the use of global resources, leads to a discussion of the influences of environmental problems on the theory of leadership and management. Finally, a short analysis of the battle of ownership is documented.

Trusted dynamic storage for dunbar-based P2P online social networks

2014

Online Social Networks (OSNs) are becoming more and more popular in today's Internet. Distributed Online Social Networks (DOSNs), are OSNs which do not exploit a central server for storing users' data and enable users to have more control on their profile content, ensuring a higher level of privacy. The main challenge of DOSNs comes from guaranteeing availability of the data when the data owner is offline. In this paper we propose a new P2P dynamic approach to the problem of data persistence in DOSNs. By following Dunbar's approach, our system stores the data of a user only on a restricted number of friends which have regular contacts with him/her. Users in this set are chosen by considerin…

Endoskopiskas retrogrādas holangiopankreatogrāfijas un perkutānas transhepātiskas žulstsvadu stentēšanas metožu salīdzinājums onkoloģiskiem pacietiem…

2017

Problēmas aktualitāte. Katru gadu pacienti vēršas pie ārsta pēc palīdzības sakarā ar dzelti un dzeltes simptomiem, un nereti atklājas, ka pacientiem ir mehāniska žultsceļu obstrukcija sakarā ar ļaundabīgas masas palielināšanos vēdera dobumā. Lielākoties audzējs jau ir izplatījies, un radikāla operācija vairs nav iespējama. Šiem pacientiem, lai pagarinātu dzīvildzi un uzlabotu atlikušās dzīves kvalitāti, optimālākais risinājums ir paliatīva ārstēšana dzeltes mazināšanai. Darba mērķis. Aprakstīt un salīdzināt ERHP un PTHA stentēšanas metodes onkoloģiskiem pacientiem ar mehānisku dzelti, un izvērtēt, kura no metodēm pagarina pacienta dzīvildzi ar mazāku komplikāciju risku. Materiāli un metodes…
