El plan de comunicación que he desarrollado para John Galt responde al problema de comunicación basado en la carencia de una base de identidad corporativa sólida y una carencia de acciones comunicativas que ofrecezcan efectividad a la marca. La motivación de este plan de comunicación va más allá, quiero que la creación de este documento sea de gran utilidad para la empresa ya que esta empresa es propiedad de mi familia y para mi es muy importante que funcione de la mejor manera posible

La doctrina Parot

La doctrina Parot, consecuencia de una sentencia del Tribunal Supremo español, causó un cambio en el sistema de cálculo de la pena máxima que se puede alcanzar en España: 30 años para aquellos juzgados por el Código Penal de 1973, que se aplica a esta doctrina, dando lugar a que, presos con condenas largas, principalmente pertenecientes al grupo terrorista ETA, se les retrasara su liberación de la cárcel. A Inés del Río, miembro del grupo terrorista, se le elevó la pena de prisión desde 2008 hasta 2017, tras aplicar esta doctrina. La terrorista apeló esta decisión ante el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, que anuló la doctrina por afectar a la Convención Europea de Derechos Humanos, concretamente a los artículos 5.1 y 7 del Tratado en vigor desde 1953.The doctrine Parot, consequence of a judgment of the Spanish Supreme Court, caused a change in the system of calculating the maximum penalty that can be accomplished in Spain: 30 years for those tried by the Criminal Code of 1973, which is applied to this doctrine, giving rise to that prisoners with long sentences, mainly belonging to the terrorist group ETA, delayed his release from prison. To Inés del Río, member of the terrorist group, is lifted him the penalty of imprisonment from 2008 to 2017 to apply such a doctrine. The terrorist appealed this decision to the European Court of Human Rights, which annulled the doctrine by affect the European Convention on Human Rights, specifically to articles 5.1 and 7 of the Treaty in force since 1953.Máster Universitario en Acceso a la Profesión de Abogado (M155

Desired weight loss and its association with health, health behaviors and perceptions in an adult population with weight excess: One-year follow-up

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) worsens quality of life and increases mortality. Dissatisfaction with weight in patients with MetS may modify the effect of lifestyle interventions to achieve changes in health-related behaviors. Objective: To assess 1-year changes in cardiovascular risk scores, self-perceived general health and health-related behaviors according to observed changes in desired weight loss during the first year of intervention in a large cardiovascular prevention trial. Design: Prospective analysis of the PREDIMED-PLUS trial, including 5,499 adults (55-75 years old) with overweight or obesity at baseline. Methods: The desired weight loss was the difference between ideal and measured weight. Tertiles of change in desired weight loss (1 year vs. baseline) were defined by the following cut-off points: >= 0.0 kg (T1, n = 1,638); 0.0 to -4.0 kg (T2, n = 1,903); <=-4.0 kg (T3, n = 1,958). A food frequency questionnaire assessed diet and the Minnesota-REGICOR questionnaire assessed physical activity. The Framingham equation assessed cardiovascular risks. The changes in the severity of MetS were also assessed. The Beck Depression Inventory assessed depressive symptoms and the SF-36 assessed health-related quality of life. Data were analyzed using general linear models. Results: BMI decreased at T2 and T3 (T1: 0.3, T2: -0.7, T3: -1.9). The most significant improvement in diet quality was observed at T3. Cardiovascular risk decreased at T2 and T3. Mean reductions in MetS severity score were: -0.02 at T1, -0.39 at T2 and -0.78 at T3. The perception of physical health increases in successive tertiles. Conclusions: In older adults with MetS, more ambitious desired weight loss goals were associated with improvements in diet, cardiovascular health and perceived physical health during the first year of a healthy lifestyle intervention programme. Weight dissatisfaction needs to be considered by health professionals.European Research Council (ERC) European Commission 20132018 340918Spanish government, ISCIII, through the Fondo de Investigacion para la Salud (FIS) - European Regional Development Fund PI13/00673 PI13/00492 PI13/00272 PI13/01123 PI13/00462 PI13/00233 PI13/02184 PI13/00728 PI13/01090 PI13/01056 PI14/01722 PI14/00636 PI14/00618 PI14/00696 PI14/01206 PI14/01919Especial Action Project entitled: Implementacion y evaluacion de una intervencion intensive sobre la actividad fisica Cohorte PREDIMED-Plus grantRecercaixa Grant 2013ACUP00194Junta de Andalucia PI0458/2013 PS0358/2016 PI0137/2018Center for Forestry Research & Experimentation (CIEF)European Commission PROMETEO/2017/017 European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) European Commission CA16112Balearic Islands Health Research Institute (IDISBA)European Commission CIBEROBN CB06/03 CB12/03 European Commission European Commission Joint Research Centre EAT2BENICE_H2020_SFS2016Fundacio La Marato TV3 201630.10Fernando Tarongi Bauza Grant'Spanish government, ISCIII, through the Fondo de Investigacion para la Salud (FIS) - European Regional Development Fund' PI17/00855 PI17/01347 PI17/00525 PI17/01827 PI17/00532 PI17/00215 PI17/01441 PI17/00508 PI17/01732 PI17/00926 PI19/00957 PI19/00386 PI19/00309 PI19/01032 PI19/00576 PI19/00017the Spanish government, ISCIII, through the Fondo de Investigacion para la Salud (FIS) - European Regional Development Fund PI14/00853 PI14/01374 PI14/00972 PI14/00728 PI14/01471 PI16/00473 PI16/00662 PI16/01873 PI16/01094 PI16/00501 PI16/00533 PI16/00381 PI16/00366 PI16/01522 PI16/01120 PI17/00764 PI17/01183 PI19/01226"Spanish government, ISCIII, through the Fondo de Investigacion para la Salud (FIS) - European Regional Development Fund" PI19/00781 PI19/01560 PI19/01332 PI20/01802 PI20/00138 PI20/01532 PI20/00456 PI20/00339 PI20/00557 PI20/00886 PI20/0115

Premature Birth Infants Present Elevated Inflammatory Markers in the Meconium

Introduction: Prematurity, a well-established risk factor for various intestinal diseases in newborns, results in increased morbidity and mortality. However, the intestinal inflammatory status of preterm (PT) infants has been poorly characterized. Here we have broadly described the intestinal and systemic inflammatory status of PT children. Materials and Methods: Meconium and plasma from 39 PT and 32 full term (T) newborns were studied. Fecal calprotectin, polymorphonuclear leukocyte elastase (PMN-E), TNF, IL-17A, IL-8, IP-10, MCP-1, MIP-1, IL-1β, IL-1α, and E-selectin and the enzymatic activities of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and alkaline phosphatase (AP) in meconium were measured. Plasma levels of AP, hepatocyte growth factor, nerve growth factor (NGF), proinflammatory cytokines, leptin, adiponectin, PAI-1, and resistin were also determined. Correlations with gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW) were studied. Results: Neutrophil derived PMN-E, MPO and calprotectin were increased in the meconium of PT compared to T newborns, while AP was decreased. No significant differences were found in other inflammatory parameters. Considering data from all children, GA and BW showed inverse correlation with neutrophil markers, while AP directly correlated with BW. Plasma levels of IL-1β and NGF were enhanced in PT infants, and were also negatively correlated with BW. PT children additionally showed neutropenia and decreased adiponectin, leptin, haematocrit, and haemoglobin. These parameters (neutrophils, adiponectin, and so forth) were positively correlated with GA and BW, while IL-8, MCP-1, PAI-1, and plasma AP were negatively correlated. PT children showing postnatal morbidity exhibited increased meconium MPO and MIP-1α. Conclusion: PT neonates present a significant elevation of intestinal inflammatory parameters, characterized by the presence of neutrophil markers, associated with mild systemic inflammation.Ministry of Economy and CompetitivityEuropean Commission SAF2017-88457-R AGL2017-85270-R BFU2014-57736-P AGL2014-58883-RJunta de Andalucia CTS235 CTS164University of Granada (Contrato Puente Program-Plan Propio)Ministry of Education [Spain]Instituto de Salud Carlos III European Commissio

The Mediterranean diet and lifestyle

The Mediterranean Diet (MedDiet) is characterized by a high intake of fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and olive oil, moderate consumption of poultry and fish, and a limited intake of red meat and minimal processed foods. It has been associated with many health benefits, including the prevention and management of metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and certain types of cancer, as well as increased longevity and reduced risk of mortality. The protective effects of the MedDiet are related to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The MedDiet is not only a health-promoting dietary pattern, but it is also environmentally sustainable, showing a negative correlation with greenhouse gas emissions, among other environmental indicators. In addition to the MedDiet, the Mediterranean lifestyle, which involves regular physical activity, adequate rest, and socializing during meals, has also been linked to beneficial health outcomes. Preventive strategies for noncommunicable diseases should focus on promoting the Mediterranean lifestyle and implementing early detection and prevention programs, at both individual and social levels

Cross-Sectional Study of the Anthropometric Profile and Nutrient Status of Elite Female Ice Hockey Players: Differences by Play Position

Both the characteristics of ice hockey and the environmental conditions in which it is played affect the maintenance of the player’s nutritional status and, therefore, their state of health and performance. The primary aim of this work was to examine the anthropometric profile, estimated energy expenditure, and macronutrient and micronutrient dietary intake of elite female ice hockey players by play position. As a secondary aim, their dietary intakes were compared with the recommendations. Hypotheses suggest variations in body composition based on ice hockey players’ positions, with the expectation that these athletes may not align with energy and nutrient recommendations. Fifteen elite female ice hockey players were anthropometrically measured, basal metabolic rate and total energy expenditure were estimated, a 3-day, 24 h recall questionnaire was registered, and the results were compared with the recommended dietary intake for the Spanish population. Each player’s position on the field requires an individualized physical and nutritional approach. There are no significant imbalances (p > 0.05) between energy and nutrient intake in relation to the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI); however, increasing the consumption of vegetables and seafood while reducing meat and fat intake would assist these athletes in maintaining a healthier energy balance, optimizing body composition, and aligning with nutritional parameters that are better suited to enhance physical performance.High Council for Sports (CSD), Spanish Ministry of Culture and Sport, through the NESA NETWORK “Spanish Network of Sports Care at Altitude (RADA),” Ref. 19/UPB/23Instituto de Salud Carlos III through CIBEROBN CB12/03/30038, which is cofounded by the European Regional Development Fun

Nível de conhecimento e hábitos de recursos ergogênicos de Judocas

O consumo de recursos ergogênicos tem se mostrado cada vez maiores por atletas que visam uma melhora no rendimento. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o nível de conhecimento e hábitos de consumo de recursos ergogênicos (RE) em judocas. Participaram do estudo 144 atletas, pertencentes à diferentes clubes de lutas, com 18 + 4,61 anos e 60 + 14 meses de treinamento. Foi aplicado um questionário para obtenção de dados sobre conhecimento e consumo de RE pelos atletas. Observou-se que 80% dos atletas já obtiveram informações sobre RE, porém a maioria destas informações provém de fontes não fidedignas. Aproximadamente 13 % dos judocas tiveram orientação por um profissional de nutrição, as demais foram obtidas por fontes alternativas. Três suplementos foram citados como mais conhecidos: albumina (34,03%), whey protein (27,78%), maltodextrina (27,78%), sendo que 80% da amostra fazem uso de tais produtos de forma esporádica. Quanto ao uso de anabolizantes uma grande porcentagem (80%) fez, ou conhece quem tenha feito uso. Conclui-se dessa forma que os atletas apresentam informações insuficientes e certos hábitos inadequados de RE, o que propicia um menor rendimento nos treinamentos e competições. ABSTRACTKnowledge level and habits of resources ergogenic in judokasThe consumption of resource ergogenic has proved each for more in athletes aiming at improvemed in income. The present study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and consumption habits of resource ergogenic (RE) in judokas. The participants of the study 144 athletes belonging to different clubs fights, with 18 + 4.61 years and 60 +14 months of training. Questionnaire was applied to obtain data about knowledge and consumption of RE for athletes. It was observed that 80% of athletes already obtained information about RE, and a majority of these que information comes from sources no reliable.
