Classification of Galician surnames with Web Scraping
No full textLinguistics considers different classifications of surnames according to their
motivation, morphology or semantics. In the case of Galician surnames, Boullón-
Agrelo (2008) proposes a classification based on three main groups: appellatives,
patronymics and toponymics. In order to classify Galician surnames in these three
categories, Web Scraping techniques were used, i.e. a process of extracting
content and data from websites, scraping official Galician, Spanish and even Portuguese
language dictionaries. These techniques were very useful, especially for
appellatives
Cápsulas peptídicas supramoleculares: un espacio para el reconocimiento molecular, el confinamiento y sus aplicaciones
No full textLa química supramolecular es un área que se encuentra en
constante crecimiento y que se presenta como una buena
alternativa para el desarrollo de receptores moleculares. A su
vez, las aplicaciones de estos receptores se expanden hacia
diferentes ramas, como la catálisis o el desarrollo de receptores
de aniones, siendo los modelos naturales fuente de inspiración.
En este sentido, los péptidos cíclicos capaces de
autoensamblarse se estudian como una buena alternativa para
crear espacios confinados. En esta tesis doctoral se ha
explorado la introducción de tapas y brazos moleculares sobre
el esqueleto peptídico, que permiten el cierre tridimensional de
la cavidad. De este modo, en función del diámetro del péptido y
de las características de la tapa incorporada, es posible
modular la actividad del receptor
Alimentación, deglutición e nutrición: manual de abordaxe no dano cerebral adquirido
Full text linkEste manual é creado coa finalidade
de proporcionar información
fundamental sobre as dificultades e
particularidades na alimentación e
nutrición en persoas con dano cerebral
adquirido (DCA), e proporcionar
recomendacións e técnicas
compensatorias e de tratamento para
a abordaxe do DCA dende o eido
domiciliario, nas fases subaguda
e crónica. A fase aguda desta
discapacidade non se contempla
neste manual.
Ao longo dos diferentes capítulos
que o compoñen, identifícanse
as consecuencias das secuelas
dun DCA na alimentación,
e descríbense as estratexias,
adaptacións e produtos de apoio
para favorecer unha alimentación
segura e independente nas
persoas pacientes. O correcto
posicionamento é fundamental para
a alimentación en DCA, así como
a abordaxe axeitada das principais
dificultades (manobras deglutorias,
adaptación de formulacións
farmacéuticas etc.). No manual
tamén se definen as alteracións
da deglutición (disfaxia) e os
requirimentos especiais da nutrición
en DCA xunto coas pautas para
asegurar a súa achega na dieta oral
Efecto inmunomodulador y epigenético de la cetosis nutricional y compuestos bioactivos de la dieta sobre el riesgo de cáncer asociado a la obesidad
No full textLos principales hallazgos de esta Tesis Doctoral demuestran la
capacidad inmunomoduladora de una VLCKD mediante la
regulación de los niveles de factores implicados en la cascada de
señalización del INF-γ e inducción de mitohormesis. Este efecto
parece estar mediado por la cetosis nutricional inducida por la
VLCKD y podría estar asociado a una reducción del riesgo de
desarrollo de cáncer en pacientes con obesidad. Finalmente, se
demuestra que la cetosis nutricional es capaz de modular
epigenéticamente genes relacionados con la carcinogénesis. Todo ello
pone de manifiesto que el tratamiento con una terapia nutricional en
la obesidad capaz de inducir cetosis, podría ser una estrategia útil, no
solo para la reducción del peso corporal sino también para prevenir el
desarrollo de cáncer en pacientes con obesidad
Polynuclear metal clusters in carbon nanotubes
No full textThe present doctoral thesis investigates the impact of the
hybridization of various types of metallic clusters, specifically
polyoxometalates (POMs), on diverse carbon nanostructures. A
broad spectrum of physicochemical techniques has been
employed to comprehend how this hybridization influences both
the carbon support and the polyoxometalate in areas
ranging from energy conversion and storage to magnetism
A National Park split by an internal border. Analysing the case of Sierra de Guadarrama (Spain)
Full text linkIn countries characterized by a high degree of decentralization, the limits between their main administrative units – that is, their ‘internal borders’ – with jurisdiction over protected natural areas prove critical for their management. This article analyses a national park split by just such an internal border, its objective being to determine the extent to which this border compromises the classic notion of a national park and how it impacts its management. The case study described is that of the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park, located in the centre of Spain, straddling the autonomous regions or communities of Castile and León and the Community of Madrid. The study exploits qualitative techniques, specifically semi-structured interviews with prominent actors in this territory, which allow us to analyse their perceptions of the national park and the implications of the border between the two autonomous communities in which it lies. Our research shows that the effects of internal borders can be similar to those of a border between two States, and that in decentralized countries the concept of transboundary protected areas is valid at the intra-state level. Additionally, the important political role played by national parks at different scales is verified as is the fact that cooperation between Spain’s autonomous communities remains weak.This study has been undertaken within the broader framework of the research project “From Cross-Border to Inter-Regional Cooperation: Challenges and Opportunities for Spanish State Governance. Learnings from the Spanish-Portuguese Border” (TRANSINTER-A, code PID2021-126922NB-C22), funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, the Spanish Agency of Research (doi: 10.13039/501100011033) and the European Regional Development Fund “A Way to Build Europe”.

Fronteiras internas e espazos naturais protexidos: tres análises na interface entre catro comunidades autónomas
Full text linkDurante as últimas décadas, declaráronse un elevado número de áreas protexidas
transfronteirizas (TBPA). Estas figuras adoitan concibirse no marco das fronteiras
internacionais; con todo, estes instrumentos tamén poden ser aplicados no caso das fronteiras
internas (entendidas como os límites administrativos que separan as comunidades autónomas
en España). O obxectivo principal é analizar a cooperación horizontal en materias de espazos
naturais protexidos e os efectos que xera nos casos de estudo a presenza de fronteiras internas.
Esta tese de doutoramento busca trasladar as bases teóricas da conservación transfronteiriza a
tres reservas da biosfera situadas no límite entre Galicia, Asturias e Castela e León (Río Eo,
Oscos e Terras de Burón; Ancares Lucenses e Montes de Cervantes, Navia e Becerreá; e
Ancares Leoneses); e ao parque nacional Sierra de Guadarrama, entre Castela e León e a
Comunidade de Madrid. A través de técnicas de investigación cualitativas, mediante a
realización de entrevistas semiestruturadas a actores destacados deses territorios, analízase a
percepción sobre o funcionamento destas figuras e a cooperación interautonómica. Esta
investigación confirma a aplicabilidade do concepto de TBPA ás fronteiras internas e que a
cooperación horizontal entre comunidades autónomas é débil. En España, no contexto das
fronteiras internas, contar con dispositivos de xestión conxunta non garante o éxito no seu
funcionamento
Mental Health and Well-being of the Ati People in Panay and Guimaras Islands, Philippines
Full text linkThis paper describes how the once nomadic Ati people, located
in the islands of Panay and Guimaras, Philippines, courageously
live through poverty, illiteracy, prejudice, displacement, state
neglect, and mental health problems. It is desired that this
initiative could provide government agencies and other
concerned groups with a concrete venue to work with for the
overall wellbeing of this and other marginalized indigenous
peoples in the region. By echoing the fundamental worldview
and cultural identity of this group, their other needs could be
holistically addressed as well
O Mal castelhano e o Mal francês no Cancioneiro geral. Novos dados à luz da história sociopolítica e médica
No full textAnte la creciente bibliografía publicada en los últimos años acerca de la historia de la sífilis desde los más distintos puntos de vista (médico, antropológico, social, lexicográfico y literario), el presente artículo pretende reivindicar el interés de las referencias del Cancioneiro Geral a la epidemia de esta enfermedad que asola Europa a finales del siglo xv. En la compilación lusa se encuentran, de hecho, los primeros registros de algunas de sus de-nominaciones eufemísticas en portugués y castellano con base en el campo semántico de los tocados. Así, en una composición colectiva que podemos fechar en 1498, varios autores se burlan aparentemente de una gangorra (o gran gorra) castellana, aludiendo, de modo más o menos velado, al origen de tal mal venéreo, que localizan en el Rosellón, a sus vías de transmisión y a sus síntomas. Por primera vez, establecemos aquí un diálogo intertex-tual entre estos y otros versos recogidos por Garcia de Resende con tratados científico-divulgativos de la misma época, como el dedicado a las «pestíferas bubas» del médico López de Villalobos, escrito también en 1498In view of the growing bibliography published in recent years on the history of syphilis from the most diverse points of view (medical, anthropological, social, lexicographical and literary), this article aims to vindicate the interest of the Cancioneiro Geral’s references to the epidemic of this disease that ravaged Europe at the end of the 15th century. In fact, the Portuguese compilation contains the first records of some of its euphemistic names in Portuguese and Spanish based on the semantic field of headdres-ses. Thus, in a collective composition that we can date to 1498, several authors apparently make fun of a Castilian gangorra (or great cap), alluding, in a more or less veiled way, to the origin of this venereal disease, which they locate in Roussillon, to its means of transmission and to its symptoms. For the first time, we establish here an intertextual dialogue between these and other verses collected by Garcia de Resende with works of scientific po-pularization of the same period, such as the one dedicated to the «pestíferas bubas» by the physician López de Villalobos, also written in 1498El presente estudio es, en parte, resultado de las investigaciones realizadas en el marco del proyecto «Diálogos Portugueses» (Ref. 139446), financiado por la Fundação Calouste Gul-benkian y por el IELT-Instituto de Estudos de Literatura e Tradição, unidad de investigación de la FCT-Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia del Gobierno de PortugalS
In Search of Conceptual Clarity About the Structure of Psychopathic Traits in Children: A Network-Based Proposal
Full text linkPsychopathic traits in childhood have been revealed as potential identifiers of risk, being predictive of later forms of behavioral maladjustment. Yet, it is still under debate how psychopathic traits in children should be best conceptualized and which are the core dimensions for construct definition and prediction. The present study aims to examine the structure of psychopathic traits in childhood, and its predictive value, by using a combination of traditional factor analysis and more recent networkbased methods. Data on psychopathic traits, as measured by the Child Problematic Traits Inventory (CPTI), were collected in a large sample of children (n = 2454; 48.2% girls), aged 3 to 6 at the onset of the study (Mage = 4.26; SD = 0.91), who were followed-up one and two years later using parent- and teacher-reports. Results showed that psychopathic traits measured via CPTI are best conceptualized as five latent factors encompassing grandiosity, deceitfulness, callousness, impulsivity and need of stimulation, a result that converged across informants and time. Callousness and grandiosity emerged as central traits using network analysis of parent-reports, while deceitfulness was most central using teacher-reports. Finally, callousness, impulsivity and deceitfulness emerged as the best predictors of concurrent, prospective and stable conduct problems. These results provide a refined structure of psychopathic traits in children that better accounts for the core elements of the construct. Additional theoretical and practical implications will be discussed in terms of assessment, diagnostic classification and tailored prevention/intervention.S
