Fixed point methods and accretivity for perturbed nonlinear equations in Banach spaces
No full textIn this paper we use fixed point theorems to guarantee the existence of solutions for inclusions of the form Au + λu + Fu ∋ g, where A is a quasi-m-accretive operator defined in a Banach space, λ > 0, and the nonlinear perturbation F satisfies some suit- able conditions. We apply the obtained results, among other things, to guarantee the existence of solutions of boundary value problems of the type −∆ρ(u(x)) + λu(x) + Fu(x) = g(x), x ∈ Ω, and ρ(u) = 0 on ∂Ω, where the Laplace operator ∆ should be understood in the sense of distributions over Ω and to study the existence and uniqueness of solution for a nonlinear boundary value problem derived from a model introduced by Lebowitz and Robinow (1974) describing a proliferation cell population
Mariano Cabrerizo: energía literaria y liberal en tiempos de Fernando VII
No full textLa actividad del editor Mariano Cabrerizo ilumina el itinerario de la novela y la burguesía. El espíritu exaltado del Trienio lo condujo a la cárcel y al destierro, lo que supuso un duro golpe para la producción editorial y la economía familiar. Pero gracias a la inteligencia y al oportunismo pudo relanzar su negocio por medio de la Colección de novelas, poderoso instrumento en la difusión de la narrativa europea y española. Las suscripciones de los particulares, de las grandes instituciones y de las bibliotecas privadas ayudaron a consolidar las iniciativas comerciales y literarias de Cabrerizo. Los avatares personales condujeron al famoso editor a una nueva situación de bonanza económica en la que la apuesta radical de juventud, una vez que el Antiguo Régimen ha desaparecido del horizonte, se suaviza por la vía de la moderación y la cautela económica.--- The activity of the editor Mariano Cabrerizo illuminates the itinerary of the novel and the bourgeoisie. The exalted spirit of the Triennium led to jail and exile, which was a blow to the editorial production and family economy. But thanks to intelligence and opportunism, he was able to relaunch his business through the Collection of novels, a powerful instrument in the dissemination of European and Spanish narrative. Subscriptions of individuals, large institutions and private libraries helped consolidate the commercial and literary initiatives of Cabrerizo. Personal avatars led the famous editor to a new situation of economic bonanza in which the progressive bet of youth, once the Old Regime has disappeared from the horizon, is softened by the way of moderation and economic caution
Effects of Cognitive and Mental Health Factors on the Outcomes Following Carpal Tunnel Release: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
No full textObjective:To determine the effects of the cognitive and mental health factors on the outcomes after carpal tunnel release (CTR). Data Sources:Embase, PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases from inception to August 14, 2021. Study Selection:Randomized controlled trials and observational studies of patients with CTR were included. The included studies aimed to determine the effect of the cognitive (catastrophic thinking, kinesiophobia, self-efficacy) or mental health factors (symptoms of anxiety and depression) on the outcomes at least 3 months post CTR. Data Extraction:Two independent reviewers performed data extraction and assessed the risk of bias. Data were extracted using a standardized protocol and reporting forms. The risk of bias of the included studies was assessed using the Quality in Prognosis Studies risk-of-bias tool. Random-effects models were used for meta-analysis. Data Synthesis:A total of 15 studies involving 2599 patients were included in this systematic review. The majority of studies indicate a significant association between the cognitive or mental health factors and outcomes after CTR. Quantitative analysis showed a moderate association of symptoms of depression on symptom severity (n=531; r=0.347; 95% CI, 0.205-0.475; P≤.0001), function (n=386; r=0.307; 95% CI, 0.132-0.464; P=.0008), and pain (n=344; r=0.431; 95% CI, 0.286-0.558; P≤.0001). In general, the risk of bias in the included studies was low. Conclusions:This systematic review and meta-analysis showed that symptoms of depression have a moderate association with symptom severity, function, and pain after CTR. Symptoms of anxiety, catastrophic thinking, and self-efficacy are also important indicators of poor postsurgery outcomes. Physicians, physical therapists, and occupational therapists should consider evaluating these variables in patients undergoing CTR
Las principales instituciones de mediación en materia de propiedad industrial
No full textLas circunstancias actuales nos llevan a reconsiderar si las formas de tutela judicial de los derechos de Propiedad Industrial son eficaces para dar respuesta a los conflictos cada vez más complejos que surgen en este ámbito. La mediación se presenta como una respuesta ventajosa a esta cuestión. Sin embargo, la mediación puede ser administrada por múltiples instituciones, por lo que las partes deberán evaluar debidamente las circunstancias concurrentes en su actual o eventual conflicto y las características de cada una de las instituciones de mediación a efectos de elegir la opción más adecuada. A fin de facilitar esta labor se recogen y analizan las principales instituciones de mediación que administran mediaciones que afectan a derechos de Propiedad Industrial y se estudian sus normas reguladoras, destacando sus aspectos más y menos beneficiosos
Soundscape Evaluation of a Heritage Event in an Open Environment: The Water Tribunal of the Plain of Valencia (Spain)
No full textThe acoustic evaluation of indoor environments is common in the application of virtual acoustics. In addition, in the study of cultural heritage buildings, it is a useful tool, but it is not so common when describing the acoustic environment in intangible cultural heritage events and even in outdoor environments. In this paper, the acoustic environment of the Water Tribunal of the Plain of Valencia (Spain) is studied. It is analyzed from a soundscape perspective, characterizing the sound source and evaluating it within relation to the environment and evaluating its subjective response. With the research carried out, it has been obtained, on the one hand, a complete study of the acoustics of the environment of the Water Tribunal and, on the other, an enhancement of the Valencian tangible and intangible heritage
Severe and moderate hemophilia A: identification of 38 new genetic alterations
No full textHemophilia A is an X-linked recessive disorder caused by a lack or decrease of factor VIII activity. Its socio-economic impact is high given its high bleeding expression and treatment cost. Our aim was to establish the mutation of each patient to improve family management. A total of 116 unrelated families with severe and moderate hemophilia A were involved. Non-carriers of intron 22 and intron 1 rearrangements were included in F8 gene screening. Intron 1 and 22 inversion frequencies were 3% and 52.5% respectively. Putative mutations were identified in all the families; 38 were new. The cumulative inhibitor incidence was 22%. Approximately half the families carry nonrecurrent mutations, which were unique in around one third. Harmful effects for mutations predicting null alleles are expected. Missense mutation consequences are not easily predictable, despite the help of some bio-informatics tools
Effect of pelvic floor muscle training on female sexual function: A systematic review protocol and meta‐analysis
No full textAim: To recognize, appraise and summarize the research evidence that has explored the results of pelvic floor muscle training on female sexual function.Design: Systematic review and possible meta-analysis.Methodology: Between September and October 2022, the Cochrane Library, CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO and Scopus electronic databases will be searched. We will include RCT's in English, Spanish and Portuguese that investigate the results of pelvic floor muscle training on female sexual function. The data will be extracted by two researchers independently. Risk of bias will be measured from the Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool. The meta-analysis of the results will be performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Version 2.Results: This systematic review and possible meta-analysis will contribute signifi-cantly to the promotion of pelvic floor health and women's sexual function and to strengthen clinical practice and define other areas of study
Raw material, gestures, artefacts. An approach to the work of bone and ivory in the Iron Age in the Iberian peninsula
No full textThis paper seeks to give visibility to the industry of hard materials with animal origin that is documented during the Iron Age in the Iberian peninsula. We focus on the analysis of three common artefacts within the bone and ivory industry in the Iberian culture (between the 6th to the 1st Century BC): pins, perforated plates and combs. We have studied these objects from a technological point of view, thanks to a series of experimental work carried out in order to meet different operational chains, necessary to manufacture each one of these items and tools that could be used for this purpose. So, we searched the archaeological tool models to work bone and ivory, and whenever it has been possible, we have reproduced them. We have paid special attention to the results that may be obtained with different tools, gestures made, different time and effort employed according to the raw material, the tool made and the importance of the 'hands' that lie behind the objects, thus considering the role of the craftsman who carried out each one of these works. The questions raised in this research are: Is the manufacture of this type of pieces a specialized work, or anyone with access to the right tools could do it? Did it all depend on the raw materials employed? Were there local workshops on equipment manufacture with bone, antler and ivory? This is a necessary study that focuses on analysis of pieces omitted by the archaeological research and, moreover, approaching its study not from a descriptive or typological point of view, but focusing on the manufacturing and operational chains processes, giving special importance to the role of the craftsmanship behind these objects. For all of this, experimentation has provided us with essential information that should be properly contrasted with the archaeological record
La Educación Plástica, Visual y Audiovisual en el currículo español de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria. Estudio comparado entre comunidades autónomas
No full textLas políticas educativas internacionales derivadas de la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE) y la Unión Europea apuntan que los sistemas educativos deberían priorizar los aprendizajes instrumentales sobre los artísticos y los humanísticos. Siguiendo estas directrices, en España, con la implantación de la Ley Orgánica para la Mejora de la Calidad Educativa (LOMCE, 2013), la Educación Plástica, Visual y Audiovisual pasó a ser una asignatura optativa. Así, solo se cursa de forma obligatoria en aquellas comunidades autónomas que lo han establecido en su legislación. En concreto, en este artículo se analiza cuál es la situación de la Educación Plástica, Visual y Audiovisual dentro de la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (ESO). Para tal propósito se ha realizado un estudio comparado entre las legislaciones que configuran cada uno de los currículos autonómicos. Los resultados obtenidos muestran cómo la Educación Plástica, Visual y Audiovisual se cursa en España de forma obligatoria con una media de casi 4 sesiones a lo largo de la ESO, aunque cabe destacar que todas estas sesiones se agrupan en el 1er ciclo. Si le otorgamos un valor mínimo de 50 minutos a cada una de las sesiones, obtenemos que en España durante la ESO se cursa un mínimo de 3 h y 6 min de Educación Plástica, Visual y Audiovisual. No obstante, las diferencias entre comunidades son muy significativas. A modo de ejemplo, encontramos que Aragón, con 6 sesiones, dispone del doble de sesiones que Castilla-La Mancha y el triple que las Islas Canarias. Empero, a estas grandes desigualdades horarias entre territorios también cabe sumar las desigualdades existentes entre los aprendizajes que se adquieren. En este sentido, las comunidades autónomas de Cataluña y el País Vasco no han definido sus currículos de acuerdo con el Real Decreto 1105/2014. Finalmente, más allá de las diferencias territoriales que permita la legislación española, la Educación Plástica, Visual y Audiovisual debería ser obligatoria en todos los territorios, ya que, sin ella, estamos privando a gran parte de la población de conseguir el pleno desarrollo de la personalidad
Recidivism risk reduction assessment in batterer intervention programs: A key indicator for program efficacy evaluation
No full textThe evidence available on the efficacy of batterer intervention programs is still limited. The aim of the present study is twofold: (1) to analyze change in a set of intervention targets and their association with reconviction in a batterer intervention program implemented in Spain, and (2) to analyze pre-treatment participants' characteristics linked with an increased likelihood of change. The research design was a prospective longitudinal study with measures obtained in two points in time (pre-treatment and post treatment).Self-report measures, trained program staff assessment, and reconviction official records were used. Participants consisted of 212 offenders participating in a court-mandated batterer intervention program. A significant gain in three intervention targets (responsibility assumption, perceived severity of intimate partner violence against women, and recidivism risk reduction) was found. Recidivism risk reduction gain score was the best success indicator. It significantly predicted reconviction with the highest effect size. A structural equation model showed that recidivism risk reduction was significantly predicted by pre-treatment offenders' anger control, impulsivity, social support, alcohol consumption, and offense seriousness. Participants changed in the intervention targets analyzed and risk of recidivism reduction played a central role in the prediction of reconviction.
