Usability and Feasibility Study of a Remote Cognitive Behavioral Therapy System with Long-Term Unemployed Women

We present the results of the use of a cognitive behavioral therapeutic intervention tool to improve the mental, physical, and social health of a group of long-term unemployed women in Spain. Method: We sent automated text messages (SMS) to the mobile phones of long-term unemployed women selected at random from public social services. During a 28-day intervention period, women received four daily automated text messages on her mobile phone on a predetermined hourly schedule. We measured depression symptoms at the start and end of the intervention and we analyzed qualitative data to determine the acceptability of a remote SMS program. Results: Depression symptoms using the Personal Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), went from an average of 13.8 at baseline to 4.9 at the end of 28 days (p = 0.89). One hundred percent of the women reported that they liked receiving the text messages and most found them helpful

Nitrogen metabolism and gene expression landscape in maritime pine

This work was supported by the ProCoGen grant (FP7-KBBE-2011-5) and by the MicroNUpE grant (BIO2015-73512-JIN).Maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Aiton) is one the most important conifer species in the southwestern Mediterranean region because of its economic and environmental potential. For this reason, a work program in functional genomics has been developed in the frame of the ProCoGen project. One objective was to complete the knowledge about P. pinaster transcriptome with the tissue-specific localization of the gene expression of the low accumulated transcripts in sharper regions (Cañas et al. 2017). In order to reach these objectives total RNA was obtained from isolated tissues through laser capture microdissection (LCM). Due to the limiting amount from these extracts, the RNA samples were reverse-transcribed and the resultant cDNA amplified using our CRA+ protocol (Cañas et al. 2014). The obtained reads were assembled to improve the previous reference transcriptome. Reads were mapped against this transcriptome and the read accounts analyzed in order to found gene co-expression networks using the WGCNA software. These results have allowed us the characterization of nitrogen metabolism in maritime pine during the seedling stage stablishing relationships between the different components. This include the identification of new genes with low or very localized expression as occurred for the PpGS1c gene encoding a new cytosolic glutamine synthetase. From this starting point, we are developing a new project, MicroNUpE, to identify and study the genes involved in ammonium uptake and regulation in different root tissues that will be isolated through LCM.

An evaluation of the prevalence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in hospital food

Los artículos que componen este libro ilustran desde múltiples puntos de vista el concepto de patrimonio biocultural. El contenido de la publicación se estructura en tres espacios sintetizados en las problemáticas asociadas al patrimonio biológico y cultural, el territorio y las disputas territoriales, la construcción identitaria y los problema de carácter socio-históricos de las comunidades afro indoamericanas. Ello permite, por un lado, obtener una aproximación contrastante, holística y compleja de la realidad latinoamericana y por otra lado sumar aportes a un concepto en construcción que no esconde su intencionalidad emancipadora.Agradecimientos; Introducción; PATRIMONIO BIOCULTURAL: Juan Pohlenz Córdova / La disputa por el patrimonio biocultural.

Efeito de inseticidas aplicados nas sementes e no sulco de semeadura, na presença do coró-da-soja, Phyllophaga cuyabana.

Abojetivou-se avalair o efeito de inseticidas aplicados nas sementes (TS) e em pulverizações no sulco de semeadura (PS), na presença do coró-da-soja, Phyllopahaga cuyabana. Em um dos experimentos, constatou-se que TS com imidacloprid (42, 60 e 90 g/ha), fipronil (50 g/ha) e thiamethoxam (70 g/ha) proporcionaram rendimentos relativo de grãos (RRG) significativamente superiores ao verificado na testemunha o coró reduziu o stand em 43,3%, enquanto nos outros tratamentos o prejuízo variou de 1,3 a 13,3%. em outro experimento, o TS com fripronil (35 g/ha), thiamethoxam (98 g/ha), imidacloprid (84 g7ha) e thiodicarbe (420 g/ha) garantiram RRG significtivamente superiores aos verificados nas respectivas testemunhas. Clorpirifós (1.344 g/ha) e endossulfam (980 g/ha) aplicados no sulco foram significativamente superiores, com referência à produção relativa de grãos, à testemunha, mas o primeiro inseticida foi superior aos segundo. Fipronil (84 g/ha) em PS e fipronil (17,5 g/ha) aplicado em TS associado a endossulfam (490 g/ha) aplicado em PS, propiciaram RRG siginificativamente superiores ao da testemunha, mas a associação dos dois inseticidas surtiu melhor efeito que o uso de fipronil, pulverizado no sulco, isoladamente. O TS com thiamethoxam (49 g/ha) associado a PS de clorpirifós (672 g/ha) garantiu RRG significativamente superior ao verfificado na testemunha
