1. The document discusses the situation of Spanish women from the early 20th century through the modern era.
2. In the early 20th century, Spanish women had a subordinate legal position to men and required their husband's authorization for economic activities or purchasing goods.
3. Reforms in the early 1900s and the Second Republic in the 1930s expanded women's rights, including the right to vote, equality in salaries, and increased access to education.
4. Under Franco's dictatorship from 1939-1975, women returned to a patriarchal model defined by the Catholic Church.
Development of drought-tolerant maize varieties with high and stable yields is very imperative as being affordable alternative to
many smallholder farmers. Drought-tolerant maize varieties belonging to two maturity groups (10 early and 10 late/intermediate) were evaluated
for yield and other related characters in the southern guinea savannah (SGS) of Nigeria for two years. Days to flowering were higher in
the second year than the first year. Consistent number of days (3 days) was recorded for anthesis-silking interval in both years. Plant and
ear heights are greater in 2008 than 2007. However, plant and ear aspects were fair in overall phenotypic appeal and grain yield was not
significantly difference in both years. Maize grain yield in late/intermediate varieties is significantly higher than the early with a difference of
one tonne. High grain yield recorded in two varieties each among the early (AC 90 POOL 16 DT STR and TZE-Y DT STR C4) and late/
intermediate (DT-SR-WC0 F2, SUWAN-1-SR-SYN) varieties was approximately 4.6 t/ha. These genotypes could be used either as cultivar
per se to escape the prolonged moisture stress during the later part of the cropping season or introgressed with favourable cultivars for high
yield adaptable to drought-prone areas in SGS ecologies.

Twenty two genotypes of quality protein maize (QPM) and two local checks were assessed for their lysine and tryptophan levels, as well as grain yield characteristics at the Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority station, Oke-Oyi, Ilorin, Nigeria for three years (2009-2011). The results showed that the QPM genotypes and the standard checks varied from one another, with respect to crude protein, zein dry matter, zein crude, lysine and tryptophan. The best QPM hybrids for grain yield (Dada-ba, ART98-SW5-OB, ART98-SW4-OB and TZPB-OB had percentage lysine and tryptophan advantage of 34% compared with the local checks. These hybrids also out-yielded other genotypes with yield advantage of 10, 24 and 26% over the best inbred, open pollinated variety and the standard check respectively. However, grain yield showed positive association with all the characteristics except crude protein content. Kernel number per cob had maximum correlation with grain yield followed by kernel rows per cob, cob diameter and cob weight. The direct effect for crude protein was positive but the correlation was negative. Conclusively, the QPM hybrids that combined high yield with the essential amino acids could be tested in different savanna agro-ecologies to identify those that could be released to farmers, while the superior inbreds could be introgressed for further breeding programs.

Sex influenced and sex limited traits pptRex Genova
This document discusses several concepts related to sex-influenced and sex-limited traits:
- Sex-influenced traits are determined by autosomal genes but expressed differently in males and females, with higher penetrance in one sex. Examples include beards in goats.
- Sex-limited traits are encoded by autosomal genes but only expressed in one sex, with zero penetrance in the other sex, like cock feathering in chickens.
- Some traits are encoded by cytoplasmic or mitochondrial genes inherited from the egg. Examples include chloroplasts and mitochondria.
The 17th century was a time of crisis for Spain. The population declined throughout the century as diseases, climate change, emigration, falling agricultural production, and falling trade and manufacturing led to less food and goods. This caused widespread poverty across Spain, especially in rural areas. Ongoing wars drained resources and caused further declines in population. Political instability increased as the monarchy faced revolts, defeats, bankruptcies, and uprisings during this difficult time in Spanish history.
The Industrial Revolution began in the late 18th century in Great Britain and spread to Europe, leading to faster production through inventions like the steam engine. This caused many people to move from rural areas to cities seeking work, resulting in overcrowding and poor working conditions. The French Revolution established France as a constitutional monarchy and had ripple effects felt throughout Europe including in Spain. In the 19th century Spain faced political instability, lost its colonies to independence movements, and its society changed with the emergence of social classes like the working proletariat that sought better wages and conditions.
The document summarizes key events of the Age of Liberal Revolutions from 1789-1871. It covers:
1) The French Revolution from 1789-1799 which overthrew the monarchy and established a republic through several phases, before Napoleon's rise to power.
2) Napoleon's rule from 1799-1815 as Consul and Emperor, during which he conquered much of Europe before his defeat.
3) The period from 1815-1848 of conflict between absolutism and liberalism/nationalism, which led to several revolutionary movements across Europe seeking greater rights and national unity.
4) The unifications of Italy and Germany from the 1850s-1870s
The document summarizes major historical events from the late 18th century to the early 21st century in Europe, including the French Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, World Wars I and II, and the formation of the European Union. It discusses the causes and impacts of these events, such as the introduction of liberalism after the French Revolution, the new social classes that emerged during the Industrial Revolution, and the devastation caused by World War I and World War II across Europe. Major Spanish historical figures and regimes are also mentioned, from King Fernando VII to the reign of Franco.
Spain in the first decades of the 20th century (1902-1931)papefons Fons
- In the early 20th century, Spain faced increasing difficulties under the Restoration political system due to industrialization, urbanization, and the rise of opposition parties.
- Between 1902-1923 there were 32 different governments as the traditional parties divided. Reform efforts by Antonio Maura and José Canalejas met resistance. The 1909 "Tragic Week" uprising in Barcelona in response to the Moroccan war undermined the monarchy.
- Political instability, social unrest among workers and farmers, and military discontent over losses in Morocco weakened the monarchy further. This culminated in Primo de Rivera's 1923 coup establishing a military dictatorship that aimed to restore order but failed to address the system's
- Spain was politically unstable in the early 20th century, with frequent changes in government as dynastic parties divided and opposition increased. Reforms by Maura and Canalejas failed to stabilize the system.
- The 1909 "Tragic Week" uprising in Barcelona in response to conscription exposed tensions. Executions including that of Francisco Ferrer further inflamed tensions.
- World War I inflation exacerbated social unrest, with a general strike in 1917 joined by military and political protests, challenging the government.
- The 1921 Annual Disaster in Morocco prompted Primo de Rivera's 1923 coup, imposing a military then civilian dictatorship until 1930 economic crisis. Opposition then overthrew the monarchy in
The document discusses key events and themes in Europe between 1750-1900, including the American and French Revolutions, the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, and his efforts to build a French empire across Europe. It provides context on the causes of the revolutions, including political and economic inequalities, as well as timelines and overviews of major historical figures and developments during this era of industrialization, revolution, and imperial expansion.
The French Revolution was sparked by political and economic problems under the absolute monarchy of King Louis XVI. France was deeply unequal with a system of estates that privileged the clergy and nobility over the majority Third Estate, who faced high taxes. When the king called the Estates-General to address a financial crisis, tensions erupted over issues of representation and taxation. This led the Third Estate forming the National Assembly and demanding democratic reforms and limits on royal power, marking the beginning of the Revolution in 1789.
The document summarizes the history of Spain from prehistoric times to the early 19th century. It describes how France invaded Spain in 1808 under Napoleon Bonaparte, forcing King Carlos IV and his son Fernando VII to abdicate. José Bonaparte then ruled Spain as José I until 1813 when the War of Independence broke out. The war resulted in Spain losing its American territories but gaining independence. The reigns of Fernando VII and his daughter Isabel II were marked by instability and civil wars between supporters of absolutism and constitutional monarchy. The artist Francisco Goya painted portraits of the royal family as well as scenes depicting the horrors of war.

This document provides a brief history of Spain from 1945 to 2015 over 3 decades:
[1] The 1940s were difficult years of political repression under Franco's dictatorship as Spain struggled with poverty and was isolated internationally. [2] Economic conditions slowly improved in the 1950s as Spain joined the UN and received aid from the US, allowing modest prosperity. [3] A period of strong economic growth began in the 1960s after the 1959 Stabilization Plan liberalized the economy, leading to industrialization, tourism, and mass emigration abroad. [3] Spain transitioned to democracy after Franco's death in 1975 and joined NATO and the EU in the following decades.
The document summarizes important events in 19th century Spanish history. It describes how France invaded Spain under Napoleon and installed his brother José on the throne, sparking the War of Independence. It then discusses the liberal Constitution of 1812, the restoration of absolutism under Ferdinand VII, and the Carlist Wars over succession. Finally, it outlines the overthrow of Isabel II in 1868, the establishment of parliamentary monarchy and the First Republic, and the restoration of the monarchy under Alfonso XII in 1874.

This document provides a timeline of world history from 1750-2019 focusing on processes of change including economic, social, and political developments. It highlights major wars, revolutions, civil wars, periods of economic crisis and growth, and independence movements throughout Latin America, North America, Europe, and Asia over this time period. Key events mentioned include the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions, the Napoleonic Wars, World Wars I and II, the Cold War, and conflicts in Mexico, Central America, and Cuba. Periods of European colonial expansion, independence in Latin America, and later US intervention in the Caribbean and Central America are also noted.
The document discusses the French Revolution and its impacts. It began as resentment grew between the wealthy and poor classes in France, with no social mobility. On July 14, 1789, the Bastille fortress in Paris was attacked, marking the start of the revolution. The revolution spread across France with the goals of ending privileges and establishing liberty, equality, and fraternity for all. The French Revolution significantly changed the style of government and ensured that citizens could have a voice and choose their leaders.
This document provides an overview of influential historical events that shaped the 19th century, including:
- The Bourbon Reforms in Spain and their effects in the Philippines like promoting agriculture and administrative reforms.
- The American and French Revolutions gave rise to nationalism and the idea that loyalty is to one's nation rather than the king.
- The Industrial Revolution began in England and spread, transforming manufacturing through machines.
- Western imperialism spread ideas and knowledge but also relied on force to conquer other nations.
Early 19th century Spain was influenced by the French Revolution and invaded by Napoleon Bonaparte's forces in 1807. This led to the Spanish Independence War against the French from 1808 to 1814. During this time two governments formed - the French government under King Joseph Bonaparte in Madrid and the Spanish government ruling from Cadiz under the Constitution of 1812. The Constitution established separation of powers but was later abolished by King Ferdinand VII when he returned to absolute monarchy in 1814.
The document provides an overview of the Age of Revolutions in Europe from the late 1700s through the early 1800s. It summarizes key events and developments including:

Physical growth and cardiovascular health: a focus on stuntingInes Varela-Silva
- Stunting, as indicated by height-for-age, affects physical growth and long-term health. It can lead to less muscle mass and lower physical activity levels. It also influences energy use and fat storage.
- Stunting is caused by undernutrition during critical periods of development, especially the first 1000 days of life from conception through 2 years of age. It can have intergenerational effects through compromised maternal health and nutrition.
- Adults who experienced stunting may be at higher risk for cardiovascular diseases like heart disease later in life. However, more research is needed to understand the relationships between stunting, BMI, and risk of cardiovascular outcomes at different life stages.
Why Human Biology needs other Biological Sciences? By Lidia Millan Fernandez ...Ines Varela-Silva
Presentation given on the 24 February 2018, by Dr Ines Varela-Silva at the Centro de Investigacion y de Estudios Avanzados - CINVESTAV - Merida, Mexico. Based on research conducted by Lidia Millan Fernandez (BSc Biological Anthropology), supervised by Dr Ines Varela-Silva (Loughborough University). Credits given to Lidia as the main author.
Better knowledge of the socio-ecological interactions needs to be understood. But also, more action needs to be taken in order to address effectively the current problems that the Earth is facing. That is why the 17 Global Goals has been proposed by the United Nations (Sachs et al., 2016). However, these objectives will not be successful without cooperation, collaboration and relation between researchers, policy makers and citizens from all the disciplines. Everyone has to contribute to a Sustainable World.

Physical anthropology of living & skeletal Maya populations from the Yucatan ...Ines Varela-Silva
This session brings together scientists interested in the physical anthropology of populations from the Yucatan Peninsula. Most presentations, whether in skeletal or in living populations, address the relationship between living conditions and health. Studies in skeletal populations tell us the story of how well local populations adapted in pre-Columbian times. The studies with living populations speak of the ontogenetic effect of modern nutritional environments and their impact in future generations.
This document discusses methods for analyzing regional fat distribution and body shape among Maya populations. It notes limitations of BMI and advocates using skinfold thickness measurements and the Healy-Tanner method to assess body size and shape. This method uses principal component analysis on log-transformed skinfold residuals to determine fat distribution patterns independent of total fatness. The document questions why BMI is still predominantly used and not other methods like those proposed by Garn, Tanner, and Frisancho that can provide more detailed information on chronic disease risk factors.
The document provides information about the Maya people, including their history of social, economic, and political repression. It then discusses health studies comparing Maya children living in Guatemala to those who have immigrated to the United States and live in Los Angeles and Indiantown, Florida. The studies find that Maya children in the US have better growth outcomes, being on average 10 cm taller and with 7 cm longer legs, but also face higher risks of overweight and obesity due to obesogenic environments in their new communities.
Growing short and fat: The Maya from Mexico are now a dual-burden groupInes Varela-Silva
The document summarizes research on the nutritional status of the Maya people from Mexico. It finds that the Maya now experience a "dual burden" of malnutrition, with high rates of both stunting (chronic undernutrition) and overweight/obesity. A three-generation study showed stunting and obesity rates were highest in grandmothers, lower in mothers, and lowest but still significant in children. This suggests negative intergenerational effects, where the poor nutritional status of grandmothers and mothers impacts the growth of the current generation of children. The causes require more investigation but could involve factors like micronutrient intake, dietary fat consumption, metabolic pathways, and physical activity levels.
School children learn about health and nutrition with the Maya ProjectInes Varela-Silva
Children at a school learned about health, nutrition, and Maya culture through hands-on activities with corn, tortillas, rice, beans, and drawing. They handled corn, felt tortillas, saw examples of traditional Maya foods cooked on a comal, and shared meals to learn about important Maya crops like corn, beans, and rice while gaining knowledge about nutrition.
This 3-part exhibition introduction was written by Marcelo Jimenez. It appears to provide an overview for an art exhibition, though no details about the specific exhibition, artists, or works are included in the brief document. The introduction is presented in 3 parts but without any distinguishing content between them.
This document discusses the nutritional dual-burden phenomenon seen in developing countries where undernutrition and overnutrition exist simultaneously at the population, household, and individual levels. It describes the different types of dual-burden and indicators used to assess nutritional status. The document uses data on Maya mothers and children in Mexico to illustrate issues in dual-burden classification and implications for health interventions. Classification methods greatly impact estimated dual-burden prevalence rates, with implications for addressing the problem.
Loughborough Bear spent the day in downtown Mérida, Mexico where he considered having a Frappuccino, debated what to eat for a meal, and finally settled on guacamole before deciding he was full.
Physical activity, early life events and the nutritional status of Maya childrenInes Varela-Silva
This document summarizes research on physical activity levels, early life events, and the nutritional status of Maya children in Merida, Mexico. The study found that 21.8% of children were stunted and 33% were overweight/obese. 70% of mothers were below the 5th percentile for height. Shorter stature in children was associated with lower activity levels. While children were generally highly active, girls and stunted children showed the lowest physical activity. The research suggests negative intergenerational effects on growth among the Maya.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of the physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning objectives:

3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar lead (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG
6. Describe the flow of current around the heart during the cardiac cycle
7. Discuss the placement and polarity of the leads of electrocardiograph
8. Describe the normal electrocardiograms recorded from the limb leads and explain the physiological basis of the different records that are obtained
9. Define mean electrical vector (axis) of the heart and give the normal range
10. Define the mean QRS vector
11. Describe the axes of leads (hexagonal reference system)
12. Comprehend the vectorial analysis of the normal ECG
13. Determine the mean electrical axis of the ventricular QRS and appreciate the mean axis deviation

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
