Portraits of Leonardo da Vinci
No full textUsing an iterative method, applied to image processing, a portrait of a young man, probably a self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci, is restored. Merging this portrait with the self-portrait in red chalk, we can have the features of a middle-aged Leonardo. This digital portrait can be compared with the image of Plato, depicted by Raphael in the Scuola di Atene, generally considered as a portrait of Leonardo. The iterative method used for the image processing had been developed by the author on previous iterative calculations used to solve the Boltzmann equatio
Explanatory and psychosocial intervention models of chronic disease
No full textEl presente trabajo tiene como objetivo describir algunos modelos explicativos de la enfermedad crónica. Se plantean modelos psicosociales evolutivos basados en el ciclo de la enfermedad crónica y en los ciclos de desarrollo individual y familiar que incluyen un marco de red social en el cual se inscriben los ciclos evolutivos señalados. Se muestran modelos que con perspectivas paradigmáticas diferentes han hecho aproximaciones a la comprensión e intervención de la misma, discutiendo algunas carencias que éstas presentarían. Se plantean algunas unidades de análisis y de intervención dentro de los diferentes modelos de la enfermedad crónica, las cuales son descompuestas en sus facetas constitutivas y se finaliza comparan-do las aproximaciones desglosadas. Se muestra en el análisis del modelo explicativo de cada paradigma sus áreas de intervención desde una óptica psicosocial. [Álvarez LY. Modelos explicativos y de intervención psicosocial de la enfermedad crónica. MedUNAB 2006; 9:250-256].The present work has the purpose of describing some explanatory models of the chronic illness. Psychosocial evolutionary models are proposed, based on the cycle of the chronic illness and the cycles of individual and familiar development that include a frame of social network in which the evolutionary cycles register. Models with diffe-rent paradigmatic perspectives that have done approaches to the comprehension and intervention of the same are shown, discussing some lacks that these would present. Some units of analysis and intervention inside different models of the chronic illness are exposed, which are decomposed in their constitutive facets and it is finished comparing the detached approaches. It is shown in the analysis of the explanatory model of every model their areas of intervention from psychosocial optics. [Álvarez LY. Explanatory and interventional models in chronic diseases.

Why (and how) to regulate Power Exchanges in the EU market integration context?
No full textPower Exchanges (PXs) are key market institutions in open and market-based electricity industries. This paper aims at contributing to the ongoing debate on why and how to regulate Power Exchanges in the EU market integration context. . The paper starts by stating that two different types of PXs have to be distinguished, i.e. "Merchant" PXs and the "Cost of Service Regulated" PXs.
