    Get PDF
    El presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo conocer la prevalencia de ciberbullying en niños y adolescentes según su género en los estudios realizados entre el 2011 y el 2021; para esto, se desarrolló una revisión sistemática con un diseño básico teórico. En la búsqueda se incluyeron estudios en español e inglés, publicados en las bases de datos: Redalyc, La referencia, Scielo, Comunicar y ProQuest. Se hallaron 295 estudios, de los cuales se seleccionaron 25 para la revisión principal. Los resultados determinaron que, los varones adoptan el papel de ciberagresor antes que de cibervíctima el 78% de las veces, lo que es inverso en las mujeres. También se concluyó que en el 75% de los casos, el agresor es de mayor grado y edad que la víctima. Por último, se hallaron 2 roles de participación definitivos en el ciberacoso (ciberagresor y cibervíctima), y se incluyó un tercer y cuarto participante (observador y agresor-víctima); además de reportarse más de 2 tipos de ciberbullying en la mayoría de los estudios (acoso sexual, intimidación en redes sociales, suplantación de identidad, etc.)

    The International Excellence Campus for Higher Education and Research of the Region of Murcia, and the Mediterranean Office for Youth (MOY) programme are new initiatives that offer opportunities for designing educational activities in which can take part international students enrolled in academic degrees at different universities. Besides, a significant rise in distributed and collaborative software development has been observed in recent years (Global Software Development, GSD), which involves space, time and socio-cultural distances and requires new techniques, tools and practices to meet new challenges and opportunities. In addition, poor requirements are one of the most common causes of project failure in any domain. Projects which devote more resources to Requirements Engineering (RE) result in lower costs and lower deviations of their planning. Therefore, the relevance of education and training the future systems and software professionals in RE activities and techniques, in particular in GSD environments, must be stressed. We have conducted an educational innovation activity based on teaching RE in co-located and GSD contexts. This activity has been carried out in the form of an experiment with students. This paper presents the scenario in which this educational activity is framed as well as some preliminary results of this experiment

    Stimuli-Responsive Materials for Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery

    Smart or stimuli-responsive materials are an emerging class of materials used for tissue engineering and drug delivery. A variety of stimuli (including temperature, pH, redox-state, light, and magnet fields) are being investigated for their potential to change a material’s properties, interactions, structure, and/or dimensions. The specificity of stimuli response, and ability to respond to endogenous cues inherently present in living systems provide possibilities to develop novel tissue engineering and drug delivery strategies (for example materials composed of stimuli responsive polymers that self-assemble or undergo phase transitions or morphology transformations). Herein, smart materials as controlled drug release vehicles for tissue engineering are described, highlighting their potential for the delivery of precise quantities of drugs at specific locations and times promoting the controlled repair or remodeling of tissues

    Circulating non-esterified fatty acids as biomarkers for fat content and composition in pigs

    Circulating non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) can reflect the composition of dietary fat or adipose tissues depending on the fasting conditions. Therefore, circulating NEFA may be valuable as biomarkers for meat quality traits, such as intramuscular fat content and fatty acid composition in finishing pigs. Genetic variants that regulate lipid metabolism can also modulate the circulating NEFA. We conducted an experiment with 150 heavy Duroc pigs to evaluate fluctuations in the circulating NEFA composition due to age, fasting duration and two genetic polymorphisms, one in the leptin receptor (LEPR; rs709596309) and one in the stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD; rs80912566) gene. Circulating NEFA were more saturated and less monounsaturated than the subcutaneous and intramuscular adipose tissues. Absolute circulating NEFA content was more influenced by fasting duration than age. The SCD polymorphism did not impact NEFA content or composition. The LEPR polymorphism affected the content but not the fatty acid composition. Circulating oleic acid NEFA content after a short fasting was positively correlated with intramuscular fat content and, after a long fasting, with intramuscular oleic acid content. We conclude that circulating NEFA reflect environmental and genetic metabolic changes but are of limited value as biomarkers for intramuscular fat content and fatty acid composition.This Research was founded by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness and the European Union Regional Development Funds (grants AGL2012-33529, AGL2015-65846-R, and RTI2018-101346-B-I00)

    Skin tissue engineering and regeneration aim at repairing defective skin injuries and progress in wound healing. Until now, even though several developments are made in this field, it is still challenging to face the complexity of the tissue with current methods of fabrication. In this review, short, state-of-the-art on developments made in skin tissue engineering using 3D bioprinting as a new tool are described. The current bioprinting methods and a summary of bioink formulations, parameters, and properties are discussed. Finally, a representative number of examples and advances made in the field together with limitations and future needs are provided

    Tin perovskite solar cells with >1,300 h of operational stability in N2 through a synergistic chemical engineering approach

    Get PDF
    Despite the promising properties of tin-based halide perovskites, one clear limitation is the fast Sn+2 oxidation. Consequently, the preparation of long-lasting devices remains challenging. Here, we report a chemical engineering approach, based on adding Dipropylammonium iodide (DipI) together with a well-known reducing agent, sodium borohydride (NaBH4), aimed at preventing the premature degradation of Sn-HPs. This strategy allows for obtaining efficiencies (PCE) above 10% with enhanced stability. The initial PCE remained unchanged upon 5 h in air (60% RH) at maximum-power-point (MPP). Remarkably, 96% of the initial PCE was kept after 1,300 h at MPP in N2. To the best of our knowledge, these are the highest reported values for Sn-based solar cells. Our findings demonstrate a beneficial synergistic effect when additives are incorporated, highlight the important role of iodide in the performance upon light soaking, and, ultimately, unveil the relevance of controlling the halide chemistry for future improvement of Sn-based perovskite devices

    Membrane-Bound Complement Regulatory Proteins in Breast Cancer: Are they Best Therapeutic Targets?

    Get PDF
    Breast cancer is one of the most aggressive diseases in women, responsible for thousands of deaths annually and millions of new diagnoses; its treatment presents multiple obstacles due to late diagnosis and the various mechanisms of tumor resistance. In breast cancer the membrane-bound complement regulatory proteins (mCRP) have been proposed as biomarkers of malignant cellular transformation. These are molecules capable of inhibiting therapeutic efficacy, from both antibodies and cytotoxic drugs. Therefore, these proteins are potential targets to increase therapeutic efficacy and avoid cancer progression. We will gather information about mCRP: (i) structural features; (ii) expression levels in breast cancer and relationship with prognosis; (iii) therapeutic resistance mechanisms; and (iv) strategies to down-regulate mCRP in both activity and expression
