Implementing sustainability-oriented strategies within the nonprofit sector is often framed through corporate ESG (environmental, social, and governance) frameworks, yet the unique institutional logic of nonprofit organizations (NPOs) demands a more nuanced conceptualization. This study investigates the processes and determinants of sustainable value creation in NPOs, adopting an integrated theoretical framewor...
Isradipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB) commonly used as vasodilator with antihypertensive properties. A remote-controlled release formulation for isradipine would substantially improve the clinical outcomes of the patients requiring chronic long-term treatment. In this work, sustained release tablets of isradipine, composed of hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC), have been produced by we...
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) promotes a cascade of inflammatory events that are responsible for neuronal death and glial scar formation at the site of the injury, hindering tissue neuroregeneration. Among the main approaches for the treatment of SCI, the use of biomaterials, especially gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA), has been proposed because it is biocompatible, has excellent mechanical properties, favoring cell adh...

The spectral width and mean frequency of Doppler signals is used to measure and characterise lesion-induced flow disturbance. Conventional methods of spectral estimation based on the Fourier Transform compromise the measurement accuracy since these methods implicitly assume signal stationarity during the signal window under analysis. New methods based on Time-Frequency Distribution (TFD), especially developed f...
