Satisfacción con la vida y religiosidad en adultos mayores en República Dominicana
2023
Tejada de Castillo, Ruth Elizabeth Tomás, José Manuel y Cerviño, Consuelo (directores) Facultad de Psicología Este documento es una tesis doctoral, creado en: 2023 Resumen La República Dominicana es considerada un país mayormente religioso y predomina la afiliación católica. El 75% de la población ha sido bautizada, pero solo el 57% se identifica como tal (Departamento de Estado, EEUU, 2015). Los cristianos evangélicos son la segunda confesión religiosa en importancia. La religión va de la mano de la cultura, es parte del proceso de socialización y está más arraigada en la población envejeciente. En el año 2025 las proyecciones estiman que la población dominicana mayor de 60 años alcanzará …

Scientific writing for impact factor journals
2013
EASARCICAPLivre dispo. dans :hal-00832739, version 1; Publish or Perish. This old adage illustrates the importance of scientific communication; essential to research, it also represents a strategic sector for each country’s competitiveness. An often-neglected topic, scientific communication is of vital importance, with new information technologies accelerating and profoundly changing how knowledge is disseminated. The necessity of optimally disseminating experts’ findings has also become crucial to researchers, institutes and universities alike, which has prompted the recent advent of Impact Factors for the evaluation and financing of research, the goal being for scientific knowledge to be …
Chronic Background Radiation Correlates With Sperm Swimming Endurance in Bank Voles From Chernobyl
2022
Sperm quantity and quality are key features explaining intra- and interspecific variation in male reproductive success. Spermatogenesis is sensitive to ionizing radiation and laboratory studies investigating acute effects of ionizing radiation have indeed found negative effects of radiation on sperm quantity and quality. In nature, levels of natural background radiation vary dramatically, and chronic effects of low-level background radiation exposure on spermatogenesis are poorly understood. The Chernobyl region offers a unique research opportunity for investigating effects of chronic low-level ionizing radiation on reproductive properties of wild organisms. We captured male bank voles (Myo…
Selection on two behavioral genes : fitness effects of receptor genes for arginine vasopressin 1a and oxytocin in the bank vole Myodes glareolus
2017
Most variation in behavior is regulated by genes; nevertheless the mechanisms behind maintenance of genetic diversity at behavioral loci have remained mainly elusive in natural populations. I studied in my thesis selection mechanisms of two genes associated with socio-sexual behavior, arginine vasopressin receptor 1a (Avpr1) and oxytocin receptor (Oxtr) in bank vole (Myodes glareolus). Expression of Avpr1a and Oxtr in specific regions of the brain regulates diverse social and reproductive behaviors such as parental care, aggression, sexual behavior, social recognition as well as pair and parent- offspring bonding in mammals. In addition, there is a link between the length of a regulatory re…
Eco-epidemiology of tick- and rodent-borne pathogens in boreal forests
2017
Infectious diseases are amongst the ten major causes of human mortality worldwide, 60% of them being animal-borne. Variations of abiotic and biotic conditions are likely to modify the transmission of parasites and pathogens within reservoir species, and, as a consequence, alter the zoonotic risk for human. My thesis aims at elucidating the dynamics and mechanisms of the maintenance of ticks, tick-borne pathogens (TBPs) and the Puumala hantavirus (PUUV) in the reservoir host, the bank vole (Myodes glareolus, BV). In Northern Europe, tick-borne diseases are growing in importance to human because of the latitudinal expansion of the tick Ixodes ricinus. Field monitoring revealed that I. ricinus…
Resiliencia en padres y madres de niños con trastornos del espectro autista
2016
Los programas de Atención Temprana cada vez más tienen en cuenta atender a la familia del niño con trastorno del desarrollo. La familia y el entorno familiar y también social del niño tienen un papel muy activo y determinante en la interacción social que provocará el desarrollo madurativo del cerebro del niño. Desde la Atención Temprana se evalúa a la familia, se le da asesoramiento e información sobre lo relacionado con el trastorno del hijo, se interviene sobre sus dificultades o se promueven grupos de ayuda o redes de apoyo social. Es importante atender la adaptación de la familia y sus miembros a la situación que se produce en el momento del diagnóstico del trastorno y en el desarrollo …
La responsabilitat social universitària i la construcció d’una societat per a totes les edats
2019
espanolEl presente ensayo ofrece una reflexion sobre el rol que puede ejercer la responsabilidad social universitaria en la construccion de una sociedad para todas las edades, concepto propuesto por Naciones Unidas (1995a; 2003) e inspirado en los principios de respeto, proteccion, solidaridad intergeneracional e inclusion de las personas mayores. Durante anos las personas mayores representaron un grupo minoritario excluido y socialmente estigmatizado. En virtud de los avances cientificos y tecnologicos que han prolongado la vida, el progresivo aumento del numero de aquellas, a nivel mundial, ha suscitado la creacion de politicas en favor del respeto e igualdad social, que frenen la reprodu…
The Actuarial Balance Sheet for Pay-As-You-Go Finance: Solvency Indicators for Spain and Sweden
2008
This paper provides the first estimate of the actuarial balance of the Spanish contributory pension system for the old-age contingency, based on official data. The main accounting entries are developed from the principles of double-entry bookkeeping. The novel entry in the balance sheet, entitled the ‘contribution asset’ or ‘hidden asset’, is at the centre of the theoretical discussion. A comparison between the official balance sheet for the Swedish notional account system and our balance sheet for the Spanish contributory pension system is also provided. The main finding is that the Spanish pension system has an insolvency rate of 31.4 per cent. The policy implication is that unless curren…
Muscle and serum metabolomes are dysregulated in colon-26 tumor-bearing mice despite amelioration of cachexia with activin receptor type 2B ligand bl…
2019
Cancer-associated cachexia reduces survival, which has been attenuated by blocking the activin receptor type 2B (ACVR2B) ligands in mice. The purpose of this study was to unravel the underlying physiology and novel cachexia biomarkers by use of the colon-26 (C26) carcinoma model of cancer cachexia. Male BALB/c mice were subcutaneously inoculated with C26 cancer cells or vehicle control. Tumor-bearing mice were treated with vehicle (C26+PBS) or soluble ACVR2B either before (C26+sACVR/b) or before and after (C26+sACVR/c) tumor formation. Skeletal muscle and serum metabolomics analysis was conducted by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Cancer altered various biologically functional groups …
