Estudio del impacto visual y propuesta de mejora mediante la implantación de arbolado urbano del parque eólico "La Plata"

En los últimos años, las energías renovables han pasado a jugar un papel fundamental en el abastecimiento energético mundial, debido al aumento de la demanda de energía y a la creciente problemática ambiental. Sin embargo, las energías renovables no están exentas de problemas medioambientales, y factores como la ocupación del territorio y el impacto visual hacen que su aceptación social disminuya. En el caso de la energía eólica, la disposición de los aerogeneradores queda condicionada por la intermitencia en la dirección e intensidad del viento, lo que complica la reducción del impacto visual de los parques eólicos y, por tanto, su aceptación social. Debido a la complejidad de los escenarios en los que se sitúan estas instalaciones, existe una gran diversidad de metodologías para optimizar su integración en el paisaje, pero no hay una metodología generalizada que considere que la población debe jugar un papel importante en su desarrollo. Para conocer y valorar el impacto visual que genera el parque eólico "La Plata", se han aplicado tres metodologías: una basada en la valoración cualitativa de los escenarios de población, otra en el uso de Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) y la última a través de cuestionarios, comprobando así la equidad en los resultados de las tres metodologías. Aplicadas las tres metodologías y comparando los resultados, todas ellas coinciden en la valoración del impacto visual negativo en el paisaje del parque eólico ?La Plata?, si bien la metodología que se apoya en el uso de cuestionarios incide directamente en la percepción de la población de este impacto, y discierne sus principales problemas. Para determinar la situación del arbolado propuesto se ha utilizado un SIG seleccionando las áreas prioritarias y así evaluar la reducción del impacto visual producido

Influence of Antisynthetase Antibodies Specificities on Antisynthetase Syndrome Clinical Spectrum TimeCourse

Introduction: Increased cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality is observed in inflammatory joint diseases (IJDs) such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and psoriatic arthritis. However, the management of CV disease in these conditions is far from being well established.Areas covered: This review summarizes the main epidemiologic, pathophysiological, and clinical risk factors of CV disease associated with IJDs. Less common aspects on early diagnosis and risk stratification of the CV disease in these conditions are also discussed. In Europe, the most commonly used risk algorithm in patients with IJDs is the modified SCORE index based on the revised recommendations proposed by the EULAR task force in 2017.Expert opinion: Early identification of IJD patients at high risk of CV disease is essential. It should include the use of complementary noninvasive imaging techniques. A multidisciplinary approach aimed to improve heart-healthy habits, including strict control of classic CV risk factors is crucial. Adequate management of the underlying IJD is also of main importance since the reduction of disease activity decreases the risk of CV events. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may have a lesser harmful effect in IJD than in the general population, due to their anti-inflammatory effects along with other potential beneficial effects.This research was partially funded by FOREUM—Foundation for Research in Rheumatolog

Evaluación del rendimiento de veinticinco líneas de sorgo (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) bajo dos niveles de fertilización en el municipio de San Isidro-Matagalpa (2004)

El estudio se realizó en la Finca el Nancite ubicada en la comarca El Bocón del municipio de San Isidro _ Matagalpa, en la época de postrera (agosto _ diciembre) del año 2004. Elobjetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar veinticinco líneas de sorgo (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench), bajo dos niveles de fertilización (37.43 kg N ha-1 y 0 kg N ha-1). Los materiales evaluados son líneas puras y pertenecen al programa ICRISAT/LASIP; ICSVLM, que significa en ingles Sorghum Variety Latín American Program. El diseño que se utilizó para el experimento fue un diseño de bloques completos al azar (BCA). Cada una de las repeticiones estaba constituida por veinticinco parcelas en donde se sembraron las líneas a evaluar. Cada parcela contenía seis surcos de los cuales tres se fertilizaron aplicándosele completo (10-30-10) al momento de la siembra y fertilizante nitrogenado urea al 46% aplicado en forma fraccionada un 50% a los 30 (dds) y el otro 50% a los 45 días después de la siembra (dds), los otros tres surco no recibieron aporte de fertilización química sintética de forma aplicada. Las variables a evaluar en el desarrollo del cultivo fueron: Altura de planta (cm), diámetro del tallo (mm) y número de hojas por planta, estas se evaluaron en tres momentos (45, 60, 75dds). Al momento de la cosecha se evaluaron: Longitud de la panoja (cm.), longitud del raquis (cm), biomasa seca producida (kg ha-1), porcentaje de nitrógeno en la biomasa (%), porcentaje de nitrógeno en el grano (%), rendimiento de grano (kg ha-1), acumulación de nitrógeno en el grano (kg ha-1 ), acumulación de nitrógeno en la biomasa (kg ha-1), eficiencia fisiológica (%), incremento del rendimiento de grano por kg de nitrógeno aplicado (%), eficiencia de uso de nitrógeno por el grano (%). Los resultados obtenidos de las variables evaluadas se procesaron en el paquete estadístico FUALNM (versión 0.5) y separación de medias por Tukey al 95% de confiabilidad (α= 0.05), los resultados obtenidos de acuerdo al análisis, para las variables de desarrollo (altura, numero de hojas y diámetro), para largo de panoja y largo de raquis fueron altamente significativo para ambos factores (A: Líneas, B: Fertilización), en los diferentes momentos evaluados, exceptuando para la variable numero de hojas a los 75 dds para el factor B que fue significativo y para el diámetro del tallo a los 60 dds el factor B que no hubo significancia, todas estas variables mencionadas mostraron diferencias mínimas numéricamente. Para la biomasa seca producida y rendimiento de grano mostraron ser altamente significativo para los dos factoresA y B, obteniendo las líneas ICSVLM-89527, ICSVLM-89551 promedios de 5664 y 4912 kg.ha-1, siendo estos los mayores rendimientos de biomasa de todas las líneas. El rendimiento del grano, los mayores valores lo obtuvieron las líneas ICSVLM-89527 y ICSVLM-89551 con 1526.5 y 1271.8 kg. ha-1. En el incremento de rendimiento por kg. de N aplicado las líneas con mayores resultados fueron la ICSVLM-90538 con 14.7 % y las ICSVLM-93079 con 12.8%. Las líneas que hicieron un mejor uso eficiente de nitrógeno por la biomasa y el grano fueron la JOCORO y el testigo PINOLERO

Mitochondrial DNA impact on joint damaged process in a conplastic mouse model after being surgically induced with osteoarthritis.

It has been suggested that mitochondrial dysfunction and mtDNA variations may contribute to osteoarthritis (OA) pathogenesis. However, the causative link to support this claim is lacking. Here, we surgically-induced OA in conplastic mice in order to evaluate the functional consequences of mtDNA haplotypes in their joint degeneration. BL/6NZB strain was developed with C57BL/6JOlaHsd nuclear genome and NZB/OlaHsdmtDNA while BL/6C57, which is the original, was developed with C57BL/6JOlaHsd nuclear genome and C57/OlaHsdmtDNA for comparison. The surgical DMM OA model was induced in both strains. Their knees were processed and examined for histopathological changes. Cartilage expression of markers of autophagy, apoptosis, oxidative stress and senescence were also analyzed by immunohistochemistry. The joints of BL/6NZB mice that were operated presented more cellularity together with a reduced OARSI histopathology score, subchondral bone, menisci score and synovitis compared to those of BL/6C57 mice. This was accompanied with higher autophagy and a lower apoptosis in the cartilage of BL/6NZB mice that were operated. Therefore, the study demonstrates the functional impact of non-pathological variants of mtDNA on OA process using a surgically-induced OA model. Conplastic (BL/6NZB ) mice develop less severe OA compared to the BL/6C57original strain. These findings demonstrate that mitochondria and mtDNA are critical targets for potential novel therapeutic approaches to treat osteoarthritis.This work is supported by grants from Fondo de Investigación Sanitaria (CIBERCB06/01/0040-Spain, RETIC-RIER-RD16/0012/0002, PI16/02124, PI19/01206) integrated in the National Plan for Scientific Program, Development and Technological Innovation 2013–2016 and funded by the ISCIII-General Sub direction of Assessment and Promotion of Research-European Regional Development Fund (FEDER)“A way of making Europe”.

Timing of onset affects arthritis presentation pattern in antisynthetase syndrome

Objective To evaluate if the timing of appearance with respect to disease onset may influence the arthritis presentation pattern in antisynthetase syndrome (ASSD). Methods The patients were selected from a retrospective large international cohort of ASSD patients regularly followed-up in centres referring to AENEAS collaborative group. Patients were eligible if they had an antisynthetase antibody testing positive in at least two determinations along with arthritis occurring either at ASSD onset (Group 1) or during the course of the disease (Group 2). Results 445 (70%; 334 females, 110 males, 1 transsexual) out of the 636 ASSD we collected had arthritis, in the majority of cases (367, 83%) from disease onset (Group 1). Patients belonging to Group 1 with respect to Group 2 had an arthritis more commonly polyarticular and symmetrical (p=0.015), IgM-Rheumatoid factor positive (p=0.035), erosions at hands and feet plain x-rays (p=0.036) and more commonly satisfying the 1987 revised classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (p=0.004). Features such as Raynaud's phenomenon, mechanic's hands and fever (e.g. accompanying findings) were more frequently reported in Group 2 (p=0.005). Conclusion In ASSD, the timing of appearance with respect to disease onset influences arthritis characteristics. In particular, RA features are more common when arthritis occurs from ASSD onset, suggesting an overlap between RA and ASSD in these patients. When arthritis appears during the follow-up, it is very close to a connective tissue disease-related arthritis. Also, the different prevalence of accompanying features between these two groups is in line with this possibility
