Nueva localización del gene «light» de Drosophila melanogaster

Con un resumen en inglésEn el trabajo que precede a éste, el Dr. Bridges ha dado cuenta del descubrimiento del color de ojos, mutante recesivo del segundo cromosoma, «light» (claro). En aquel trabajo se demuestra que este color de ojos es alelo morfo de otro encarnado, conocido antes, que iba asociado a un efecto sobre las alas. Hubo probablemente dos mutaciones «pink-wing» (encarnado-alas), una de las cuales tenía su /ocus aproximadamente a 13 unidades a la derecha de «Star» (Estrella), mientras que la otra fué localizada, provisionalmente, a 8 ó 9 unidades a la derecha de «black» (negro). «Light» es alelomorfo del «pink-wing» que está a la derecha de «blOck». Los datos sobre la localización de «light» y de su alelomorfo «pink-wing», eran escasos y contradictorios. A mi llegada al California Institute of Technology me fué sugerido el problema de determinar exactamente el /ocus de «light», y el Dr. Bridges, familiarizado con el material y conociendo las dificultades de la cuestión, tuvo la amabilidad— que cordialmente le agradezco— de trazarme un plan de ataque a este problema.Peer reviewe

La herencia ligada al sexo en el coleóptero Phytodecta variabilis ( 01.)

1 lámina.En las retamas (Retama sphaerocarpa) de los alrededores de Madrid, es abundantísimo en primavera y verano el coleóptero crisomélido Phytodecta varüzbilis (Olivier) 1790, que llama inmediatamente la atención del recolector por sus muy diferentes y bien definidos tipos de coloración, sobre todo cuando se ven apareados—cosa frecuentísima— individuos pertenecientes a distinto tipo.Peer reviewe

Training Administrations to Manage the Internal Market: The Karolus Programme. EIPAScope 1993(3):pp.4-11

{From the Introduction]. The important date set for the entering into operation of the internal market, i.e. 1 January this year, also marks the date for the entering into force of an EC Action Plan called the Karolus Programme'. EIPA is pleased to be involved in the running of this Programme which was established by a Decision of the Council of the European Communities on 22 September 1992 and has the objective of contributing to the effective functioning of the newly completed internal market. The Karolus Programme is a Community training scheme which aims to achieve its objective by means of organizing, over a period of five years, exchanges between the 12 Member State administrations of 1900 national officials who are engaged in the implementation of internal market legislation. The Programme also envisages seminars for the exchange participants, which are held at EIPA's headquarters in Maastricht before and after the exchange period and deal with the EC's functioning and activities, and make analyses of the exchange experiences respectively

Beyond empathy training for practitioners: Cultivating empathic healthcare systems and leadership

Empathic care benefits patients and practitioners, and empathy training for practitioners can enhance empathy. However, practitioners do not operate in a vacuum. For empathy to thrive, healthcare consultations must be situated in a nurturing milieu, guided by empathic, compassionate leaders. Empathy will be suppressed, or even reversed if practitioners are burned out and working in an unpleasant, under‐resourced environment with increasingly poorly served and dissatisfied patients. Efforts to enhance empathy must therefore go beyond training practitioners to address system‐level factors that foster empathy. These include patient education, cultivating empathic leadership, customer service training for reception staff, valuing cleaning and all ancillary staff, creating healing spaces, and using appropriate, efficiency saving technology to reduce the administrative burden on healthcare practitioners. We divide these elements into environmental factors, organisational factors, job factors, and individual characteristics
