Proposal for a theoretical intervention model in family art therapy. The creative process as a therapeutic tool when working with families.
In view of the current theoretical references to using art therapy with families, this work is based on a research analysing the results of three years of fieldwork in this area, identifying different elements of clinical intervention and setting in Family Art Therapy. The aim is to make a theoretical proposal on the countertransference and relationship aspects of art therapy work and their implications for family intervention. Two paradigms have been integrated to achieve this aim: the art therapy triangular bonding from a psychodynamic perspective and family relations according to the foundations of systemic therapy. For family interventions a theoretical model has been designed that enables the adapting of therapeutic goals to the specific needs of each case. The main aim of this methodological proposal is that family members use a shared creative process to explore new, more functional relationship and collaboration systems and additionally develop their emotional expression using visual language as a means of intra-family communication
Integrative stratigraphy and climatic events of a new lower paleogene reference section from the betic cordillera: Río gor, Granada province, se Spain
Research interest in the early Paleogene was greatly enhanced after the recognition of several short-lived warming events in that period (hyperthermals), considered ancient analogues of the ongoing warming of the Earth climate. In the Caravaca and Alamedilla sections, the previously most studied lower Paleogene sections of the Subbetic Zone (Betic Cordillera), only the most prominent of these hyperthermals had been located, the so-called Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Maximum. The Río Gor section, though less studied, is found to comprise a lower Paleogene succession that is more expanded and complete than Caravaca and Alamedilla; it contains record of the Early Late Paleocene and Paleocene/Eocene Thermal Events, and at least one additional Eocene hyperthermal, thus offering an excellent opportunity to study these climatic events in the Subbetic Zone. Study of the Río Gor section is still in progress, this paper summarizing the state-of-the art of ongoing research
The Global Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) for the base of the Lutetian Stage at the Gorrondatxe section, Spain
The GSSP for the base of the Lutetian Stage (early/
middle Eocene boundary) is defined at 167.85 metres in
the Gorrondatxe sea-cliff section (NW of Bilbao city,
Basque Country, northern Spain; 43º22'46.47" N, 3º 00'
51.61" W). This dark marly level coincides with the lowest
occurrence of the calcareous nannofossil Blackites
inflatus (CP12a/b boundary), is in the middle of polarity
Chron C21r, and has been interpreted as the maximumflooding
surface of a depositional sequence that may be
global in extent. The GSSP age is approximately 800 kyr
(39 precession cycles) younger than the beginning of
polarity Chron C21r, or ~47.8 Ma in the GTS04 time
scale. The proposal was approved by the International
Subcommission on Paleogene Stratigraphy in February
2010, approved by the International Commission of
Stratigraphy in January 2011, and ratified by the International
Union of Geological Sciences in April 2011.Published86-1082.2. Laboratorio di paleomagnetismoJCR Journalrestricte
The Global Stratotype Sections and Points for the bases of the Selandian (Middle Paleocene) and Thanetian (Upper Paleocene) stages at Zumaia, Spain
The global stratotype sections and points for the bases of the Selandian (Middle Paleocene) and Thanetian (Upper Paleocene) stages have been defined in the coastal cliff along the Itzurun Beach at the town of Zumaia in the Basque Country, northern Spain. In the hemipelagic section exposed at Zumaia the base of the Selandian Stage has been placed at the base of the Itzurun Formation, ca. 49 m above the Cretaceous/ Paleogene boundary. At the base of the Selandian, marls replace the succession of Danian red limestone and limestone-marl couplets. The best marine, global correlation criterion for the basal Selandian is the second radiation of the important calcareous nannofossil group, the fasciculiths. Species such as Fasciculithus ulii, F. billii, F. janii, F. involutus, F.pileatus and F. tympaniformis have their first appearance in the interval from a few decimetres below up to 1.1 m above the base of the Selandian. The marker species for nannofossil Zone NP5, F. tympaniformis, first occurs 1.1 m above the base. Excellent cyclostratigraphy and magnetostratigraphy in the section creates further correlation potential, with the base of the Selandian occuring 30 precession cycles (630 kyr) above the top of magnetochron C27n. Profound changes in sedimentology related to a major sea-level fall characterize the Danian-Selandian transition in sections along the margins of the North Atlantic. The base of the Thanetian Stage is placed in the same section ca. 78 m above the Cretaceous/Paleogene boundary. It is defined at a level 2.8 m or eight precession cycles above the base of the core of the distinct clay-rich interval associated with the Mid-Paleocene Biotic Event, and it corresponds to the base of magnetochron C26n in the section. The base of the Thanetian is not associated with any significant change in marine micro-fauna or flora. The calcareous nannofossil Zone NP6, marked by the first occurrence of Heliolithus kleinpelli starts ca. 6.5 m below the base of the Thanetian. The definitions of the global stratotype points for the bases of the Selandian and Thanetian stages are in good agreements with the definitions in the historical stratotype sections in Denmark and England, respectively
GIBaren aurkako txertoaren bila
HIV is the causative agent of one of the most lethal pandemics in human history, AIDS. Although in recent years HAART therapy has considerably reduced death rate, new infections keep arising. Therefore, a preventive vaccine remains the most promising tool to end the pandemic. However, the virus has developed many nat-ural strategies to evade the immune system and, moreover, the special characteristics of the neutralizing antibodies that a vaccine aims to elicit, makes vaccine design ex-tremely challenging. The efficiency of the RV144 clinical trial and the promising re-sults obtained by passive immunization with broadly neutralizing antibodies suggest that the objective of obtaining an effective vaccine is closer. Until now, a myriad of vaccine strategies have been attempted but the expected results have not been yet obtained. However, the thorough research on the structure of the viral immunogens and the antibodies that recognize them might pave the way for the design of future effective immunogens.; GIB birusa, giza historian zehar gertatu den pandemiarik hilgarrieneta-riko baten eragilea da, HIESa alegia.

Changes to sea-surface characteristics during the middle Eocene (47.4 Ma) C21r-H6 event: evidence from calcareous nannofossil assemblages of the Gorrondatxe section (western Pyrenees)
(Table S7) Abundance of benthic foraminiferal taxa and assemblages indices from the Ypresian-Lutetian transition in the Gorrondatxe section
Mineralogy, geochemistry and benthic foraminifera of the Gorrondatxe beach section
A distinctive low-carbonate interval interrupts the continuous limestone-marl alternation of the deep-marine Gorrondatxe section at the early Lutetian (middle Eocene) C21r/C21n Chron transition. The interval is characterized by increased abundance of turbidites and kaolinite, a 3 per mil decline in the bulk d13C record, a >1 per mil decline in benthic foraminiferal d13C followed by a gradual recovery, a distinct deterioration in foraminiferal preservation, high proportions of warm-water planktic foraminifera and opportunistic benthic foraminifera, and reduced trace fossil and benthic foraminiferal diversity, thus recording a significant environmental perturbation. The onset of the perturbation correlates with the C21r-H6 event recently defined in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, which caused a 2°C warming of the seafloor and increased carbonate dissolution. The perturbation was likely caused by the input of 13C-depleted carbon into the ocean-atmosphere system, thus presenting many of the hallmarks of Paleogene hyperthermal deposits. However, from the available data it is not possible to conclusively state that the event was associated with extreme global warming. Based on our analysis, the perturbation lasted 226 kyr, from 47.44 to 47.214 Ma, and although this duration suggests that the triggering mechanism may have been similar to that of the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), the magnitude of the carbon input and the subsequent environmental perturbation during the early Lutetian event were not as severe as in the PETM
