The Hays Office and the Two Updated Film Versions of Madeleine Smith’s Case: Letty Lynton (1932) and Dishonored Lady (1947)
2016
The celebrated case of Madeleine Smith, the Glasgow poisoner, who was tried for murder (and absolved) in 1857, has resulted in many novels, plays, films and television series. Hollywood, during its classical period, made two updated versions of the incident: Letty Lynton (Clarence Brown, 1932) and Dishonored Lady (Robert Stevenson, 1947). Even though the two films are separated by more than a decade, the self-censorship introduced by the studios themselves – MPPDA, commonly known as the Hays Office – exercised so much control over the two pictures that they can hardly be taken as equivalent. This article proposes a comparative analysis of the two films and how censorship acted as a constrai…
Actitudes ante el aprendizaje en estudiantes universitarios excelentes y en estudiantes medios
2011
Pretendemos analizar lo que hacen los alumnos con mejor nota de entrada en la universidad que pueda explicar su rendimiento, de cara a precisar modelos eficaces de funcionamiento que se puedan generalizar y enseñar, en la medida de lo posible. Usando el cuestionario CEVAPU (Cuestionario de evaluación de las actitudes ante el aprendizaje de los estudiantes universitarios), evaluamos las actitudes ante el aprendizaje de un grupo de alumnos excelentes, seleccionados de 11 titulaciones de 9 centros de la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, y comparamos los resultados con un grupo de N similar de alumnos medios de los mismos centros. Encontramos que los alumnos excelentes desarrollaban mejores …
L’elegia valenciana com a tòpic universal: la caiguda de València narrada des del Xarq al-Àndalus fins al romancer filipí
2016
Resum: Estudi de la formalització del concepte de València com a paradís perdut, des de la literatura àrab del Xarq al-Àndalus fins al romancer hispànic desenvolupat a l’arxipèlag filipí. S’hi analitza la conceptualització de l’elegia valenciana i el seu ús com a tòpic literari des de l’orient d’al-Àndalus fins a l’orient del món hispànic, explicant la formació del romancer filipí i la presència del Regne de València en les Lletres Filipines. S’hi estudien les elegies de la caiguda de la València islàmica a mans dels cristians, i com es formalitza una fascinació literària pel concepte de «València com a paradís», que s’exporta com a tòpic a una literatura asiàtica de base hispànica que té e…
SISTEMI VERDI COME CULTURA RIGENERATIVA: STRUMENTI E TECNOLOGIE
2021
The study analyzes and proposes in the historical and in the area immediately to it adjacent, the "values-nature" of the buildings through the creation of gardens wall and vertical gardens in the elevatiloy of non-monumental buildings. The study deepens in particular the specificity of the garden roof and the garden vertical, recognizing benefits and critical issues that distinguish these green systems for construction. It also deepens the concept of resilience in close relationship sustainability and regenerative design applied to the built environment. The theme of regenerative design is studied and promoted as an adaptive strategy at the design stage; it requires you to leave nature stre…
Funcionamiento ejecutivo y rendimiento matemático: un estudio longitudinal
2016
El objetivo del presente estudio longitudinal consistió en examinar el poder predictivo de las funciones ejecutivas de inhibición y memoria de trabajo (MT) evaluadas en Educación Infantil (T1) sobre los aspectos formales e informales del rendimiento matemático en 2º de Educación Primaria (T2). La muestra inicial estuvo conformada por 209 preescolares de 5 a 6 años, de los que un 86.12 % de los sujetos volvieron a ser evaluados en el T2 (7-8 años). En el T1, se administraron seis tareas neuropsicológicas relacionadas con las funciones ejecutivas de inhibición y MT verbal y visoespacial. En el T2, se aplicó la batería TEMA-3 (Gingsburg y Baroody, 2003) para evaluar diferentes aspectos relacio…
Essays on the Spanish REIT market
2021
Los Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), equivalentes a la figura española de las Sociedades Anónimas Cotizadas de Inversión en el Mercado Inmobiliario (SOCIMI), son instrumentos de inversión colectiva cuyo propósito es la tenencia directa o indirecta de activos inmobiliarios para el alquiler. El incremento de las salidas a bolsa de estos vehículos de inversión en Europa en los últimos años ha permitido el estudio de estos mercados cuya importancia y tamaño ha crecido notablemente. En España, la primera SOCIMI se incorporó al mercado a finales de 2013 y desde ese momento se ha producido un rápido crecimiento en el número y tamaño de estas sociedades. A lo largo de esta Tesis Doctoral se ha …

Haem Biosynthesis and Antioxidant Enzymes in Circulating Cells of Acute Intermittent Porphyria Patients
2016
The aims of the present study were to explore the expression pattern of haem biosynthesis enzymes in circulating cells of patients affected by two types of porphyria (acute intermittent, AIP, and variegate porphyria, VP), together with the antioxidant enzyme pattern in AIP in order to identify a possible situation of oxidative stress. Sixteen and twelve patients affected by AIP and VP, respectively, were analysed with the same numbers of healthy matched controls. Erythrocytes, neutrophils and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were purified from blood, and RNA and proteins were extracted for quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) and Western-blot analysis, respectively. Porhobilinogen…
CLOCK gene variation is associated with incidence of type‑2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases in type‑2 diabetic subjects: dietary modulation in t…
2016
Background: Circadian rhythms regulate key biological processes influencing metabolic pathways. Disregulation is associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Circadian rhythms are generated by a transcriptional autoregulatory feedback loop involving core clock genes. CLOCK (circadian locomotor output cycles protein kaput), one of those core genes, is known to regulate glucose metabolism in rodent models. Cross-sectional studies in humans have reported associations between this locus and obesity, plasma glucose, hypertension and T2D prevalence, supporting its role in cardiovascular risk. However, no longitudinal study has investigated the association between CLOCK…
Sleep Duration is Inversely Associated with Serum Uric Acid Concentrations and Uric Acid to Creatinine Ratio in an Elderly Mediterranean Population a…
2019
The aim of the study was to evaluate sleep duration and sleep variability in relation to serum uric acid (SUA) concentrations and SUA to creatinine ratio. This is a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from 1842 elderly participants with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome in the (Prevencion con Dieta Mediterranea) PREDIMED-Plus trial. Accelerometry-derived sleep duration and sleep variability were measured. Linear regression models were fitted to examine the aforementioned associations. A 1 hour/night increment in sleep duration was inversely associated with SUA concentrations ( = -0.07, p = 0.047). Further adjustment for leukocytes attenuated this association (p = 0.050). Each …
