This dissertation studies the impact of the mode of data collection on the quality of answers to survey questions, defined as the product of reliability and validity. Using data from the Netherlands about different topics ...
La Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva crónica (EPOC) presenta afectación pulmonar y sistémica y periodos de exacerbación (AEPOC), que contribuyen a su progresión. En algunas ocasiones la AEPOC está causada por microorganismos ...
Els baixos nivells de vitamina D durant l’embaràs i els primers anys de la vida són freqüents en dones embarassades i en nadons i, a més, poden tenir implicacions per a la salut de l’infant a llarg termini. Malgrat això, ...
El déficit de hierro (DH) podría jugar un papel en la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) dado que es fundamental en la bioenergética celular. Estudio 1: Se analizaron 18 pacientes EPOC con DH y 18 pacientes ...
The thesis “Implications of participation in online support groups on the emotional well-being and physical health of people with diabetes” is a compendium of three articles that critically and interrelatedly addresses the ...
Genome-wide association studies linked increased ORMDL3 expression levels to several inflammatory diseases via single nucleotide polymorphisms. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying this association are ...
In this thesis, we present a set of protocols in areas at the core of current blockchain technology literature; consensus, decentralized finance and distributed computing. These areas are bound by a critical dependency ...
Metabolic studies of doping agents have been traditionally performed by using gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). In the last years, liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has ...
Improving mathematical abilities is important for educational systems and for society overall. We present two training regimes based on numerical representations. In Study 1, we show that a three-week computer-based ...
Myeloid malignancies are clonal diseases originated in myeloid hematopoietic stem cells that are frequently initiated by somatic mutations. The detection of genetic alterations has considerably improved the diagnostic ...
Capturing sounds on a recording medium to enable their preservation and reproduction started to be possible during the industrial revolution of the 19th century, originally achieved through mechanic and acoustic devices, ...
Sequence alignment is one of the basic methods to compare biological sequences and the cornerstone of a wide range of different analyses. Due to this privileged position at the beginning of many studies its accuracy is of ...
The innovation of genomics has progressed at pace with the development of high-throughput DNA sequencing technologies. Prior to the outbreak of next-generation sequencing, retrieving genetic information was limited to a ...
La discusión sobre la compatibilidad entre la imprudencia inconsciente y el principio de culpabilidad ha llamado la atención de la dogmática penal hace más de dos siglos. La primera parte de este trabajo presenta esta ...
Regulation of gene transcription is a complex process involving many different proteins, some of which bind in a sequence-specific manner to DNA motifs in the gene promoter. The need to maintain specific interactions between ...
The affinity of a drug to its target protein is one of the key properties of a drug. Although there are experimental methods to measure the binding affinity, they are expensive and relatively slow. Hence, accurately ...
El funcionament intern de les cèl·lules pot entendre’s com un conjunt d’interaccions entre biomolècules, formant una xarxa que coneixem amb el nom d’interactoma. Els fàrmacs i malalties poden considerar-se pertorbacions ...
The prenatal period is a stage of special sensitivity to the adverse effects of environmental agents for the developing fetus. The human placenta is an organ that, in the interface between mother and fetus, plays a key ...
Pretrained Transformer-based language models have quickly replaced traditional approaches to model NLP tasks, pushing the state of the art to new levels, and will certainly continue to be very influential in the years ...
