    Acreedores y beneficiarios ante la repudiación de la herencia. Aspectos controvertidos que derivan del artículo 1001 del CC.
    (Ministerio de Justicia, 2021) García Pérez, Carmen Leonor; Derecho Civil
    La repudiación de la herencia en perjuicio de acreedores, supuesto que recoge el artículo 1001 del Código civil, sigue ofreciendo cuestiones discutidas no del todo resueltas. El trabajo intenta armonizar los principios del Derecho de sucesiones con los propios de la protección y garantía de los derechos de crédito, teniendo en cuenta que aceptación y repudiación son actos libres y voluntarios, no revocables y que, una vez tienen lugar, se retrotraen al momento de apertura de la sucesión. Partiendo de la plena validez y eficacia de la repudiación y, por ello, de la aceptación o acrecimiento de los beneficiarios, la regla del artículo 1001 CC va destinada, fundamentalmente, a regular la situación generada por la repudiación entre deudor y acreedores, pero no la posterior que se entabla entre deudor repudiante y beneficiarios. Es también objeto del trabajo analizar el significado y contenido de la necesaria autorización judicial previa, a fin de legitimar a los acreedores instantes del expediente de Jurisdicción voluntaria para poder trabar bienes del caudal hereditario.

    Disparity between central and peripheral refraction inheritance in twins
    (Nature Research, 2021-06-09) Pusti, D.; Benito, A.; Madrid-Valero, J.J.; Ordoñana, J.R.; Artal, P.; Física
    The last decades have witnessed a sudden increase in myopia incidence among youngsters that have been related to modern lifestyle along with the use of emerging technologies affecting visual exposure. Increasing exposures to known risk factors for myopia, such as time spent indoors, close-distance work, or low-light conditions are thought to be responsible for this public health issue. In most cases, development of myopia is secondary to a vitreous chamber enlargement, although the related mechanisms and the potential interaction between central and peripheral retinal area remain unclear. For a better understanding, we performed a classical twin study where objective refractive error along 70° of horizontal retinal arc was measured in 100 twin pairs of university students, 78% of which showed manifest myopia. We found the variance of shared environmental origin (range 0.34 to 0.67) explained most of the objective refractive error variance within central 42° of the retina (22° temporal to 19° nasal), whereas additive genetic variance (range 0.34 to 0.76) was predominant in the peripheral retinal areas measured. In this sample of millennial university students, with a large prevalence of myopia, environmental exposures were mostly responsible for inter-individual variation in the retinal horizontal area surrounding the macula, while their relative weight on phenotypic variance was gradually descending, and replaced by the variance of genetic origin, towards the retinal periphery.

    Écriture de soi et de l'autre: récits de filiation et contestation chez Herzog et Picasso
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2019) Vernier, Béatrice
    This paper examines two ‘‘récits de filiation’’, Un héros by Félicité Herzog, the daughter of the famous mountaineer Maurice Herzog, and Grand-père by Marina Picasso, the daughter of the renowned artist Pablo Picasso. These authors dispute the public image of these celebrities by demonstrating that it does not correspond to the egotist and cruel person that they knew during their childhood. Although the authors seem to re - ject their filiation with these individuals, we show their willingness to accept the filiation with a father as a great mountaineer and a grandfather as a unique painter, but not with the man corrupted by celebrity. These accusations, which modify the public images of these famous individuals, also correspond to the authors’ desire to share with the public their profound pain. By expressing their suffering, the authors free themselves from re - sentment towards these famous figures, recogni - zing the context in which they lived and forgiving them. Maurice Herzog and Pablo Picasso were victims of their unconditional admirers, who ido - lized them as a hero or a genius, a role that these two figures continued to play with their relatives.

    Inheritance of Refractive Error in Millennials
    (Nature Research, 2020-05-18) Pusti, D.; Benito, A.; Madrid-Valero, J.J.; Ordoñana, J.R.; Artal, P.; Física
    Over the last decades, the prevalence of myopia has suddenly increased, and at this rate, half of the world's population will be myopic by the year 2050. Contemporary behavioural and lifestyle circumstances, along with emergent technology, are thought to be responsible for this increase. Twin studies mostly reported a high heritability of refractive error across ethnicities. However, heritability is a population statistic and could vary as a result of changing environmental conditions. We studied the variance of refractive error in millennials with 100 twin pairs of university students in southeast Spain. The study population presented a high prevalence of myopia (77%). Statistical analysis showed the variance of refractive error in this group of young twins was mainly driven by the shared environment and, to a lesser extent, by additive genetic factors. We found an increase in myopia prevalence accompanied by a decrease in heritability in this sample of millennials in contrast with results from a previous generation group from the same ethnic origin.
