Patrimonio y derechos humanos en las tramas de reparación y reivindicación / Javiera Bustamante Danilo --Los usos políticos del patrimonio en periodos de conflicto: la utilización política del patrimonio cultural catalán durante la Guerra Civil española / Mercè Gracia SánchezEl patrimonio es con frecuencia motivo de conflictos, de oposiciones y de discrepancias políticas. Este libro analiza los usos políticos que se hacen de él en aspectos relacionados con las identidades, las luchas sociales, los enfrentamientos vecinales, las reivindicaciones de las sociedades indígenas e incluso en contextos de guerra, a partir del estudio de casos etnográficos procedentes de Latinoamérica, Europa y España. Los autores, a través de sus exploraciones en la museografía y las políticas culturales, van más allá del análisis del patrimonio para interrogarse sobre los escenarios y los discursos por los que discurren los mecanismos de apropiación y confrontación en el campo patrimonial.Este libro ha sido escrito en el marco de los proyectos de investigación financiados por el Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad: CSO2011-29413 ("Patrimonialización y redefinición de la ruralidad.

Avaluació de l´impacte del programa d’atenció i educació terapèutica dirigit a joves amb diabetis mellitus tipus 1 traslladats de centres pediàtrics a un hospital d’adults
No full textL’abordatge i l’atenció de persones amb diabetis tipus 1 és especialment complex durant l’adolescència, període que coincideix amb el necessari trasllat d’aquests joves des del centre pedià-tric a la unitat d’adults.
En aquesta tesi es valora el procés que segueixen els joves i llurs famílies en el període de transició i s’avalua l’impacte del programa d’atenció i educació terapèutica que realitzen durant el primer any en el centre d’adults. Inicialment i als 12 mesos s’avaluen paràmetres de control metabòlic, automaneig del tractament, nivell de coneixements de diabetis, percepció de hipoglucèmies i qualitat de vida. Es comparen resultats en funció de diferents modalitats de tractament; bomba d’insulina versus múltiples dosis d’insulina i en funció del grau d’adherència al tractament. Així mateix s’analitzen les narracions que fan els joves i llurs famílies abans del trasllat i 1 any posterior per valorar els punts forts, febles i estratègies de millora del programa.The management and care of people with type 1 diabetes is especially complex during adolescence, a period that coincides with the necessary transfer of these adolescents from the pediatric center to the adult unit.
This dissertation evaluates the process that adolescents and their families follow in the transition period, and evaluates the impact of the therapeutic education and care program they carry out during the first year in the adult center. Initially and at 12 months the parameters of metabolic control, self-management of the treatment, level of diabetes knowledge, perception of hypoglycemia and quality of life were evaluated. Results are compared based on different treatment modalities; insulin pump versus multiple doses of insulin and depending on the degree of adherence to the treatment. It also analyzes the narratives made by adolescences and their families before and one year later to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses and strategies for improving the program.Programa de Doctorat en Ciències de la Infermeri
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
MFP14, a multifunctional emerging protein with immunomodulatory properties, prevents spontaneous and recurrent autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice
No full textAims/hypothesis. To test the effects of multifunctional protein 14 (MFP14), which shares structural homology with heat shock proteins (HSPs), on the development of Type I; (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus in NOD mice.
Methods. MFP14 was given to euglycaemic female NOD mice from either the 4(th) to the 25(th) or from the 12(th) until the 35(th) week, or commencing one day before islet transplantation and until the reappearance of hyperglycaemia. Pancreata from NOD mice treated with multifunctional protein 14 for 14 consecutive weeks until 18 weeks of age were examined histologically for insulitis. Anti-CD3 and/or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced blood levels of interferon (IFN)-gamma, interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, IL-12 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha were measured by ELISA in 10 week-old female NOD mice treated for 6 consecutive weeks with either MFP14 or PBS. Unless otherwise stated, multifunctional protein 14 was administered daily 5 times a week at a dose of 25 mug. Control mice received PBS or, in selected experiments, heat-inactivated MFP14.
Results. MFP 14 treated mice had a significantly lower incidence of spontaneous diabetes compared to control mice. The MFP14 was equally effective both upon early and late prophylaxis and the protection persisted until week 50 in mice treated from weeks 4 to 25. Insulitis was significantly reduced by the MFP14. The MFP14 also delayed recurrence of hy perglycaemia in syngeneic islet-transplanted NOD mice. Although MFP14 reduced anti-CD3 and/or LPS-induced blood levels of IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha and IL-12 it increased IL-4 and IL-10.
Conclusion/interpretation. The MFP14 could be a possible candidate for the prevention or early treatment of human Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus

The use and efficacy of continuous glucose monitoring in type 1 diabetes treated with insulin pump therapy: a randomised controlled trial
No full textpeer reviewedAims/hypothesis
The aim of this multicentre, randomised, controlled crossover study was to determine the efficacy of adding continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) to insulin pump therapy (CSII) in type 1 diabetes.
Methods
Children and adults (n = 153) on CSII with HbA1c 7.5–9.5% (58.5–80.3 mmol/mol) were randomised to (CGM) a Sensor On or Sensor Off arm for 6 months. After 4 months’ washout, participants crossed over to the other arm for 6 months. Paediatric and adult participants were separately electronically randomised through the case report form according to a predefined randomisation sequence in eight secondary and tertiary centres. The primary outcome was the difference in HbA1c levels between arms after 6 months.
Results
Seventy-seven participants were randomised to the On/Off sequence and 76 to the Off/On sequence; all were included in the primary analysis. The mean difference in HbA1c was –0.43% (–4.74 mmol/mol) in favour of the Sensor On arm (8.04% [64.34 mmol/mol] vs 8.47% [69.08 mmol/mol]; 95% CI −0.32%, −0.55% [−3.50, −6.01 mmol/mol]; p < 0.001). Following cessation of glucose sensing, HbA1c reverted to baseline levels. Less time was spent with sensor glucose <3.9 mmol/l during the Sensor On arm than in the Sensor Off arm (19 vs 31 min/day; p = 0.009). The mean number of daily boluses increased in the Sensor On arm (6.8 ± 2.5 vs 5.8 ± 1.9, p < 0.0001), together with the frequency of use of the temporary basal rate (0.75 ± 1.11 vs 0.26 ± 0.47, p < 0.0001) and manual insulin suspend (0.91 ± 1.25 vs 0.70 ± 0.75, p < 0.018) functions. Four vs two events of severe hypoglycaemia occurred in the Sensor On and Sensor Off arm, respectively (p = 0.40).
Conclusions/interpretation
Continuous glucose monitoring was associated with decreased HbA1c levels and time spent in hypoglycaemia in individuals with type 1 diabetes using CSII. More frequent self-adjustments of insulin therapy may have contributed to these effects.SWITCH study grou
Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Author in Essay by I. A. Goncharov “Pepiniere”
No full textFeatures of the embodiment of the author’s position in the essay by I. A. Goncharov “Pepiniere” are considered. The relevance of the study is due to the poorly studied poetics of this work. A review of the scientific literature on relevant topics is performed. Methodological and theoretical definitions are given. The scientific novelty of the article is in the fact that for the first time attention is paid to artistic techniques that allow to identify the author's position in the specified literary text. The author of the article grounds her opinion from the fact that, despite the dominance of the subjective point of view, other characters’ views stand out in the work. It is concluded in the study that the text of the work represents a biographical author and author-creator. It was established that the position of the author-creator is expressed through the title, epigraphs, which are quotes, as well as through different points of view, including the author-character, the author-narrator, the characters of the work. The author of the article dwells in detail on different ways of expressing the points of view of the author-character and the author-narrator. It is proved that the point of view of the author-character and the author-narrator can intersect, they are interchanged. The author's development of the term comic “point of view” is presented in the article
Espai i identitat en l'obra de Jordi Pere Cerdà. Una geografia literària cerdaniana
No full textL'obra de l'autor nord-català Jordi Pere Cerdà (1920-2011) teixeix una cartografia literària que abasta tota dimensió espacial -real, imaginada i ficcional. Les prospeccions que assagen els seus texts es fonen en el medi natural i rural, canten a l'amor, als veïns i als éssers fantàstics del folklore català, es comprometen amb els refugiats encarant-se a tota frontera i, també, a tot abisme interior i exterior que oprimesca l'ésser. El mapatge cognitiu i literari que crea Cerdà sobrepassa qualsevol obstacle per construir espais oberts i possibles, en comunió amb l'altre. Partint d'una aproximació teòrica geocrítica, aquest treball d'investigació aprofundeix en diverses nocions sobre l'espacialitat lligades a un context convuls, ple de transformacions a nivell socioeconòmic, polític, cultural i lingüístic, el qual determinarà la vida d'un autor i d'un territori transfronterer com el de la Cerdanya i la Catalunya del Nord. En definitiva, la rica experiència vital de Jordi Pere Cerdà ens permet reflexionar sobre les relacions que vulguem establir entre els individus i amb el nostre hàbitat natural i cultural, a fi d'esdevenir membres actius que participen de la transformació dels espais que configuren les nostres identitats.The work of the North Catalan author Jordi Pere Cerdà (1920-2011) weaves a literary cartography which reaches all spatial dimensions -real, imagined and fictional. The prospections proved by their texts merge with the natural and rural environment, sing to love, neighbours and the fantastic beings of the Catalan folklore. Such prospections also commit themselves with the refugees facing every frontier and, also, facing all interior and exterior abyss that oppresses the being. The cognitive and literary mapping created by Cerdà overcomes any obstacle to construct opened and possible spaces, in communion with the other. Based on the theoretical approach called geocriticism, this research study delves into various notions about spatiality linked to a convulsive context, full of transformations at a socioeconomic, political, cultural and linguistic level; these transformations will determine the life of an author and a cross-border territory such as Cerdagne and Northern Catalonia. In short, the rich experience of Jordi Pere Cerdà allows us to reflect on the relationships we want to establish between individuals, as well as between human groups and our natural and cultural habitat, in order to become active members that participate in the transformation of the spaces that make up our identities.Programa de Doctorat en Llengües Aplicades, Literatura i Traducci
