The engagement of inhibitory receptors specific for major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules educates natural killer (NK) cells, meaning the improvement of the response of activation receptors to subsequent stimulation. It is not known whether inhibitory MHC-I receptors educate only NK cells or whether they improve the responsiveness of all cell types, which express them. To address this issue, we analyzed the expression of inhibitory MHC-I receptors on intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (iIELs) and show that T-cell receptor (TCR)-αβ CD8αα iIELs express multiple inhibitory receptors specific for MHC-I molecules, including CD94/NKG2A, Ly49A, and Ly49G2. However, the presence of MHC-I ligand for these receptors did not improve the response of iIELs to activation via the TCR. The absence of iIEL education by MHC-I receptors was not related to a lack of inhibitory function of these receptors in iIELs and a failure of these receptors to couple to the TCR. Thus, unlike NK cells, iIELs do not undergo an MHC-I-guided education process. These data suggest that education is an NK cell-specific function of inhibitory MHC-I receptors.

The aim of this research is to know the barriers and opportunities that nursing professionals detect in their clinical practice in order to develop the culture of patient safety and to identify future research lines. This qualitative study is based on the DELPHI method, with a group of 19 nursing professionals from education and care practice, involving both primary and specialized care. Weaknesses and threats revolve around five categories: profession, organization and infrastructure; indicators; communication and safety culture; and safety training. Opportunities to improve safety cover six categories: organizational change; promotion of the safety culture, professional training and development; relationship with the patients; research; and strategic planning. Work is needed to improve safety and nursing should be ready to assume this leadership.

Paronychia is a rare complication of pemphigus vulgaris (PV), and the immunological profile of patients with digital disease has not been assessed so far. We report 2 cases of PV with oral mucosa and periungual involvement, who had high titers of anti- desmoglein (Dsg)-3 circulating antibodies. These observations raise the possibility that expression of Dsg-1 and Dsg-3 in distinct areas of periungual skin is disease specific and that anti-Dsg-3 antibodies alone may have an as yet unrecognized importance for the development of paronychia in PV.

We aimed to evaluate whether the occurrence of cryptic species of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, S1, PS2, PS3 and Paracoccidioides lutzii, has implications in the immunodiagnosis of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). Small quantities of the antigen gp43 were found in culture filtrates of P. lutzii strains and this molecule appeared to be more variable within P. lutzii because the synonymous-nonsynonymous mutation rate was lower, indicating an evolutionary process different from that of the remaining genotypes. The production of gp43 also varied between isolates belonging to the same species, indicating that speciation events are important, but not sufficient to fully explain the diversity in the production of this antigen. The culture filtrate antigen AgEpm83, which was obtained from a PS3 isolate, showed large quantities of gp43 and reactivity by immunodiffusion assays, similar to the standard antigen (AgB-339) from an S1 isolate. Furthermore, AgEpm83 was capable of serologically differentiating five serum samples from patients from the Botucatu and Jundiaí regions. These patients had confirmed PCM but, were non-reactive to the standard antigen, thus demonstrating an alternative for serological diagnosis in regions in which S1 and PS2 occur. We also emphasise that it is not advisable to use a single antigen preparation to diagnose PCM, a disease that is caused by highly diverse pathogens.

BACKGROUND: International comparisons of social inequalities in alcohol use have not been extensively investigated. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of country-level characteristics and individual socio-economic status (SES) on individual alcohol consumption in 33 countries. METHODS: Data on 101,525 men and women collected by cross-sectional surveys in 33 countries of the GENACIS study were used. Individual SES was measured by highest attained educational level. Alcohol use measures included drinking status and monthly risky single occasion drinking (RSOD). The relationship between individuals' education and drinking indicators was examined by meta-analysis. In a second step the individual level data and country data were combined and tested in multilevel models. As country level indicators we used the Purchasing Power Parity of the gross national income, the Gini coefficient and the Gender Gap Index. RESULTS: For both genders and all countries higher individual SES was positively associated with drinking status. Also higher country level SES was associated with higher proportions of drinkers. Lower SES was associated with RSOD among men. Women of higher SES in low income countries were more often RSO drinkers than women of lower SES. The opposite was true in higher income countries. CONCLUSION: For the most part, findings regarding SES and drinking in higher income countries were as expected. However, women of higher SES in low and middle income countries appear at higher risk of engaging in RSOD. This finding should be kept in mind when developing new policy and prevention initiatives.

Scarcities of environmental services are no longer merely a remote hypothesis. Consequently, analysis of their inequalities between nations becomes of paramount importance for the achievement of sustainability in terms either of international policy, or of Universalist ethical principles of equity. This paper aims, on the one hand, at revising methodological aspects of the inequality measurement of certain environmental data and, on the other, at extending the scarce empirical evidence relating to the international distribution of Ecological Footprint (EF), by using a longer EF time series. Most of the techniques currently important in the literature are revised and then tested on EF data with interesting results. We look in depth at Lorenz dominance analyses and consider the underlying properties of different inequality indices. Those indices which fit best with environmental inequality measurements are CV2 and GE(2) because of their neutrality property, however a trade-off may occur when subgroup decompositions are performed. A weighting factor decomposition method is proposed in order to isolate weighting factor changes in inequality growth rates. Finally, the only non-ambiguous way of decomposing inequality by source is the natural decomposition of CV2, which additionally allows the interpretation of marginal term contributions. Empirically, this paper contributes to the environmental inequality measurement of EF: this inequality has been quite stable and its change over time is due to per capita vector changes rather than population changes. Almost the entirety of the EF inequality is explainable by differences in the means between the countries of the World Bank group. This finding suggests that international environmental agreements should be attempted on a regional basis in an attempt to achieve greater consensus between the parties involved. Additionally, source decomposition warns of the dangers of confining CO2 emissions reduction to crop-based energies because of the implications for basic needs satisfaction.

Aquest Treball Final de Carrera pretén analitzar de manera organitzada els Fons de Riquesa Sobirana, un dels actors amb major rellevància dins de l’economia mundial en els últims anys; sobre el qual es té poca informació, degut principalment, a la seva manca de transparència. Aquest estudi parteix d’un primer anàlisis a nivell macroeconòmic sobre les raons de creació d’aquests fons, i sobre com comencen a agafar importància dins del panorama econòmic actual. A partir d’aquí, es desenvolupa l’estudi sobre els països emergents d’Àsia, que utilitzen aquests Fons de Riquesa Sobirana com a vehicles per a canalitzar les seves Inversions cap a l’exterior, amb l’objectiu de diversificar els seus ingressos econòmics, i garantitzar el desenvolupament futur, tant del país com de la població. Finalment, el treball aborda el cas dels Emirats Àrabs Units, un país amb un gran número de Fons de Riquesa Sobirana, que estan prenen posicions en alguns sectors estratègics de moltes economies desenvolupades.

Aquest treball de recerca pretén analitzar les conseqüències de tenir el poder de decisió separat entre la política fiscal i la política monetària en la UEM. Alguns autors han anomenat aquest fet com el pecat original de l’eurozona, considerant que aquesta àrea monetària ha patit un error de disseny des d’un bon principi1. El creixement econòmic d’alguns EM, ha amagat aquesta dialèctica constant, retardant la decisió entre les Institucions Europees i els EM eternament, fins a tal punt que la recessió econòmica actual ha evidenciat la necessitat de coordinació entre aquestes dues polítiques econòmiques i s’ha començat a instrumentalitzar nous mecanismes per millorar l’estructura actual

Durant diverses dècades les relacions entre la Unió Europea (UE) i Amèrica Llatina es caracteritzaven pel model tradicional de "ajuda sense comerç" fins els anys 1995, que amb acords de quarta generació impulsar el començament del nou instrument. Els acords d'associació (AdA) introdueixen com una novetat tres pilars (diàleg polític, de cooperació i comercial) i centren l'atenció en les relacions comercials, liberalitzen el comerç i estableixen un nou model d'associació biregional. Aquest treball de recerca analitza els AdA de la UE amb països o grups de països llatinoamericans i el seu impacte en les relacions comercials entre la UE i Amèrica Llatina.

A pesar de que estos compromisos comerciales especiales han implicado sustanciales transferencias para algunos países ACP participantes, éstas no han logrado, en general, la expansión del bienestar económico de dichos países. Dan soporte a ello determinados elementos influyentes tanto en el diseño como en la aplicación del Protocolo. En consecuencia, se pretende aportar líneas de mejora de la política europea de cooperación al desarrollo de los países ACP beneficiarios del Protocolo en el ámbito del azúcar, en el marco de la nueva cooperación comercial CE-ACP y la propuesta de reforma de la OCM del azúcar.

Taking on the challenge of understanding and explaining the Symphony of (today’s) New World in realistic terms (not realist), this essay aims to analyse the Post-Cold war era by devising a multi-conceptual framework that combines different theoretical contributions not yet linked in a fully explanatory way. This paper suggests two inter-related analytical contexts (or background melodies) to understand Dvorak´s "New World”. First, the socio-economic structural context that falls under the controversial category of Globalization and, second, the post-modern political structural context that is built on Robert Cooper’s threefold analysis (Pre-modern, Modern and Post-modern) of today’s world [Cooper, R: 1997, 1999]. Lastly, the closing movement (allegro con fuoco) enters the normative arena to assess American foreign policy options in the light of the theoretical framework devised in the first part of the essay.

Cet exemplaire de la Lectura d’Henri de Suso sur les Décrétales, dont il ne reste que le premier volume, présente la particularité de contenir aussi le texte des Décrétales, chacune d’elles étant suivie par le commentaire correspondant. Certaines anomalies de la copie permettent de préciser que les copistes avaient comme modèle deux manuscrits différents, un pour la Lectura et l’autre pour les Décrétales dans une édition augmentée des Novelles d'Innocent IV, qui devaient être insérées à la suite des titres correspondants, selon la prescription pontificale de 1245. Le texte même des Novelles qui n’était pas commenté dans la Lectura n’a pas été repris dans la copie, sauf l’Extravagante Quia frequenter, au f. 37v, et Sext. I, 13, 1, au f. 133. F. 1-360v.
