    Las desviaciones del amor carnal en la «Divina Comedia» clasificación y reelaboraciones literarias en la «No-Divina Comedia» de Z. Krasinski y «Don Juan en el infierno» de C. Fisas2024-01-03

    En el canto V del infierno de la Divina Comedia, el autor presenta diferentes ejemplos de condenados por la lujuria. En este trabajo se propone la clasificación de dichos personajes en dos categorías, por un lado, aquellos que someten la razón a la pasión erótica y, por el otro, aquellos que la someten a la pasión afectiva. Así mismo, se cuestionan los motivos por los cuales el autor florentino considera estas aproximaciones como transgresiones graves contra «el orden del amor». A continuación, se lleva a cabo un análisis comparativo de estos dos tipos de amor presentes en dos obras que establecen una clara relación de intertextualidad con la Divina Comedia, a saber, la No-Divina Comedia de Zygmunt Krasinski y Don Juan en el infierno de Carlos Fisas. Se demuestra de este modo la amplitud de la influencia de este autor en diferentes épocas y espacios culturales, así como, su asombrosa universalidad.

    Transferability of an executive function intervention in children with cerebral palsy: A randomized controlled trial2024-09-11

    Aim: To evaluate the transfer effects of a home-based computerized executive function intervention on non-targeted cognitive functions (visual perception and memory), quality of life (QoL), and participation in children with cerebral palsy (CP), and to determine whether any improvements were maintained 9months after the intervention. Method: Sixty children with CP (aged 8–12 years) were randomly allocated to the intervention (15 females/15 males, mean age 10 years 4months [SD=1 years 8months], age range 8–12 years) or waitlist (control) (15 females/15 males, mean age 10 years [SD=1 years 9months], age range 8–12 years) group. The intervention group underwent a home-based executive function intervention programme for 30minutes per day, 5days a week, for 12weeks. All participants were assessed before the intervention, immediately after and 9months after the intervention was completed. Results: After the intervention was completed, performance in immediate verbal memory, verbal learning, and visual perception (object and picture recognition) was significantly better in the intervention group than in the waitlist (control) group. No improvements were found in visual memory, visuospatial perception, QoL, or participation after the intervention. Scores at the follow-up showed that any beneficial effects were not maintained 9months after the intervention was completed. Interpretation: A home-based computerized executive function intervention produced transfer effects on memory and visual perception immediately after the intervention in children with CP, although any beneficial effects were not sustained at the 9-month follow-up.

    Ejemplo de proceso de resiliencia en la serie de animación japonesa Fruits Basket2024-09-30

    El artículo analiza, desde las premisas de la psicología positiva y la literatura en torno a la resiliencia, la evolución de los personajes Tohru Honda y Yuki Sohma del anime Fruits Basket (Yoshihide Ibata, 2019-2021). Este estudio tratará la adaptación animada del manga homónimo de Natsuki Takaya como una ejemplificación simbólica del trauma familiar y de las graves consecuencias que implican para la salud mental y las habilidades sociales de los individuos. Además, la serie está basada en una leyenda japonesa a la cual se inserta un personaje original que actúa como tutor de la resiliencia y agente facilitador de la aceptación de los problemas de salud mental y particularidades en la juventud que la rodea. Asimismo, este texto presenta como arco central de los personajes la superación de las secuelas de dichos traumas sin estigmatizar ni estereotipar sus trastornos ni usarlos como tema central de la trama.

    Los derechos de emisión de gases de efecto invernadero como objeto de garantía2013-01

    La normativa reguladora de los derechos de emisión, tanto a nivel europeo como nacional, no ha desarrollado la posibilidad de constituir garantías sobre tales derechos. Así la primera, en el Considerando 13 del Reglamento (UE) de la Comisión por el que se establece el Registro de la Unión se limita a establecer que uestas cuestiones deberán analizarse en el contexto de una futura revisión del presente Reglamento, y la Ley 13/2010 a hacer referencia a que en el Registro comunitario se inscribirán gravámenes. La utilización como garantía de estos derechos, transmisibles según su regulación y con un indudable valor económico, podría convertirlos en un factor clave en muchas estrategias empresariales y constituir un elemento relevante en la financiación de la empresa. Tras un breve estudio del concepto, naturaleza y caracteres de los derechos de emisión de GEi, se revisan las principales garantías mobiliarias incluyendo las denominadas «garantías financieras". Estas garantías se analizan considerando a los derechos de emisión como el objeto sobre el que podrían constituirse. Además se estudian algunos de los interrogantes que ello conlleva. En particular las cuestiones relativas a su imprescindible publicidad a través de los correspondientes Registros.

    Active neurodynamic technique at home in patients with knee osteoarthritis: an open single arm clinical trial2024-11-12

    Background and Objectives: Knee osteoarthritis (KO) stands as the third leading cause of disability among the elderly, causing pain, reduced quality of life, and decreased functionality. The objective of this study is to assess the effects of an active neurodynamic technique programme at home on pain, quality of life, and function among individuals with KO. Materials and Methods: Thirty-five participants (69.7% women) aged ≥50 years with KO (Kellgren–Lawrence grades I–II) performed a femoral nerve mobilization programme at home for 6–8 weeks (20 repetitions per day). Pain intensity, using the numerical rating scale (NRS), pressure pain thresholds (PPTs), central sensitization inventory (CSI), temporal assessment, pain modulation, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and the 12-item Short Form Survey questionnaire (SF-12) were collected before, after the intervention, and at one, three, six, and twelve months. Results: Participants improved significantly in pain (p < 0.05), with the improvement maintained throughout the follow-up in the NRS and for at least one month in the PPT. There were also statistically significant (p < 0.05) improvements in all subscales of the KOOS, which were maintained throughout the follow-up. Improvements were also found in the CSI and CPM. Conclusions: A home-based active neurodynamic programme for the femoral nerve has been demonstrated to yield positive effects on pain and function in patients with KO.

    Sinonasal disease among patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia: an international study2023-05

    Examines the prevalence and characteristics of sinonasal diseases (such as rhinosinusitis) in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a genetic disease that affects the motility of respiratory cilia. Patients with PCD often have chronic breathing problems due to the inability of the cilia to effectively move mucus and other particles from the airways. The study includes an international sample of PCD patients to evaluate how the disease impacts the upper airways, especially the sinuses. The main findings indicate that sinonasal disorders are common in these patients, with a high prevalence of chronic rhinosinusitis, which often requires surgical or pharmacological treatment. The results also show that proper management of sinonasal infections is crucial to improve quality of life and overall respiratory health in patients with PCD. Early identification and treatment of sinonasal complications could be key to reducing comorbidities and improving long-term outcomes in these patients. In summary, the study highlights the importance of monitoring and treating sinonasal diseases in patients with primary ciliary dyskinesia, given their high prevalence and the impact they have on general respiratory health.

    Active neurodynamics at home in patients with knee osteoarthritis: a feasibility study2023-10-20

    The aim was to evaluate the feasibility of a home-based neurodynamic programme for patients with knee osteoarthritis (KO). Thirty participants (70% women) 50 years old with KO (Kellgren–Lawrence grades I–II) were included. Active mobilisation of the femoral nerve was performed at home over a period of 6–8 weeks. The feasibility of the programme was assessed using a survey that included questions related to understanding of the activity; adherence to the intervention; the burden caused by the intervention; self-perceived effects on the participant; follow-up; the barriers; and facilitators. Pain intensity, using the numerical rating scale (NRS); pressure pain thresholds (PPT); temporal assessment; pain modulation; Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), 12-item Short Form Survey questionnaire (SF-12), and the Central Sensitization Inventory questionnaire (CSI) were also collected, before and after the intervention. All patients performed the intervention, completed at least 42 days of activity, and considered the exercise adequate, with 28 participants (93.3%) reporting that the intervention was good for them. Statistically significant values (p < 0.05) were found for NRS, elbow PPT, external knee PPT, internal knee PPT, elbow CPM, CSI, and KOOS. Home-based active neurodynamic treatment has been shown to be a feasible and safe intervention for KO patients. In addition, this intervention has shown positive effects on pain and function.
