Tendencias Miasmáticas en las Patologías Autoinmunes

Abstract: A traves de un analisis estadistico tanto de los sintomas mentales registrados en 568 archivos clinicos resguardados en la base de datos de la Universidad Libre Internacional de Medicina Homeopatica (Libera Universita Internazionale di Medicina Omeopatica), como de los medicamentos que se prescribieron, pudo determinarse que la sycosis y la psora son los miasmas predominantes en los pacientes con enfermedad autoinmune. Esto significaria que, como han senalado algunos connotados medicos homeopatas, dicha afeccion no se debe a una perversion del sistema biologico (syphilis), sino a un estado hipo o hiper alterado de una funcion biologica normal. Ademas, de lo anterior se deduce que las sustancias implicadas en la respuesta autoinmune (auto-anticuerpos) no serian proteinas “extranas” o “pervertidas” en nuestro cuerpo, sino que son normales y se encuentran al servicio del sistema inmunologico, por ejemplo, para eliminar celulas viejas, reparar tejidos danados y destruir malignidades

Rendering Literary Proper Names in Another Language: The Works of Flann O’Brien as a Case in Point

Abstract: In fictional texts, personal names (and more generally proper nouns) are considered to be meaningful linguistic and cultural items since they often convey specific connotations to a literary text, and they constitute a challenge for translators since they are usually used to define the character itself, often from an ironic perspective. Translators can adopt different strategies (copy; naturalization; transcription; addition; phonological replacement; re-creation; cultural transplantation) but, as it often happens in translation, a significant part of specific connotations of the name is usually lost. Flann O’Brien resorts to a “creative” use of proper names, often comments them (De Selby, one of his characters, claims “to be in a position to state the physiological ‘group’ of any person merely from a brief study of the letters of his name”). This study analyses O’Brien’s use of proper nouns and the several solutions adopted by translators of his novels and short stories, suggesting some possible alternatives and highlighting the semantic potential of the examined proper names which is inevitably lost.

Aortal pressure controlling device

Abstract: An aortal pressure controlling device (1) comprising a variable volume member (2) by blowing gas inside of it and adapted to be inserted within the aorta, a gas reservoir (3) connected by means of a cannula (4) to the variable volume member (2), blowing means (5) for the gas from the gas reservoir (3) to the variable volume member (2), an aortal pressure measurer (6) and a control unit (7) connected both to the pressure measurer (6) and to the blowing means (5). The control unit (7) receives information from the measurer (6) and consequently controls said blowing means (5).

Efficiency of equilibria in games with random payoffs

Abstract: We consider normal-form games with $n$ players and two strategies for each player, where the payoffs are i.i.d. random variables with some distribution $F$ and we consider issues related to the pure equilibria in the game as the number of players diverges. It is well-known that, if the distribution $F$ has no atoms, the random number of pure equilibria is asymptotically Poisson$(1)$. In the presence of atoms, it diverges. For each strategy profile, we consider the (random) average payoff of the players, called Average Social Utility (ASU). In particular, we examine the asymptotic behavior of the optimum ASU and the one associated to the best and worst pure Nash equilibria and we show that, although these quantities are random, they converge, as $n\to\infty$ to some deterministic quantities.
