Trabajo Social y alcohol: Estudio comparativo del modelo francés y español

Este Trabajo de Fin de Grado surge a raíz de la necesidad de analizar el modelo de atención, actuación y prevención frente a la dependencia alcohólica, para considerar si se debe realizar una adaptación adecuada a los cambios que se están produciendo. Se ha desarrollado en las ciudades de Zaragoza y Reims a través de los aprendizajes adquiridos durante las prácticas realizadas el primer cuatrimestre de este curso 2012/2013 en la Fundación Doctor Valero Martínez, y también de la información recopilada en Reims, ciudad al norte de Francia que destaca por situarse en la región productora del champán (Champagne-Ardenne) donde cohabitan casi 80 bodegas de este vino blanco espumoso. El objetivo principal del trabajo, como refleja el título del mismo, consiste en obtener una idea precisa del tipo de intervenciones que se desarrollan frente al alcoholismo tanto en España como en Francia

Feedback Mechanisms for Self-Organization to the Edge of a Phase Transition

Scale-free outbursts of activity are commonly observed in physical, geological, and biological systems. The idea of self-organized criticality (SOC), introduced back in 1987 by Bak, Tang, and Wiesenfeld suggests that, under certain circumstances, natural systems can seemingly self-tune to a critical state with its concomitant power-laws and scaling. Theoretical progress allowed for a rationalization of how SOC works by relating its critical properties to those of a standard non-equilibrium second-order phase transition that separates an active state in which dynamical activity reverberates indefinitely, from an absorbing or quiescent state where activity eventually ceases. The basic mechanism underlying SOC is the alternation of a slow driving process and fast dynamics with dissipation, which generates a feedback loop that tunes the system to the critical point of an absorbing-active continuous phase transition. Here, we briefly review these ideas as well as a recent closely-related concept: self-organized bistability (SOB). In SOB, the very same type of feedback operates in a system characterized by a discontinuous phase transition, which has no critical point but instead presents bistability between active and quiescent states. SOB also leads to scale-invariant avalanches of activity but, in this case, with a different type of scaling and coexisting with anomalously large outbursts. Moreover, SOB explains experiments with real sandpiles more closely than SOC. We review similarities and differences between SOC and SOB by presenting and analyzing them under a common theoretical framework, covering recent results as well as possible future developments. We also discuss other related concepts for "imperfect" self-organization such as "self-organized quasi-criticality" and "self-organized collective oscillations," of relevance in e.g., neuroscience, with the aim of providing an overview of feedback mechanisms for self-organization to the edge of a phase transition.We acknowledge the Spanish Ministry and Agencia Estatal de investigacion (AEI) through grant FIS2017-84256-P European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), as well as the Consejeria de Conocimiento, Investigacion y Universidad, Junta de Andalucia and ERDF, A-FQM -175-UGR18 and SOMM17/6105/UGR and for financial support.

Genetic mapping of microsatellite markers around the arcelin bruchid resistance locus in common bean

The deployment in common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) of arcelin-based bruchid resistance could help reduce post-harvest storage losses to the Mexican bean weevil [(Zabrotes subfasciatus (Boheman)]. Arcelin is a member of the arcelin-phytohemagglutinin-α-amylase inhibitor (APA) family of seed proteins, which has been extensively studied but not widely used in bean breeding programs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate microsatellite markers for genetic analysis of arcelin-based bruchid resistance and to determine the orientation of markers and the rate of recombination around the APA locus. A total of 10 previously developed microsatellites and 22 newly developed markers based on a sequenced BAC from the APA locus were screened for polymorphism and of these 15 were mapped with an F(2) population of 157 individuals resulting from a susceptible × resistant cross of SEQ1006 × RAZ106 that segregated for both the arcelin 1 allele and resistance to the bruchid, Z. subfasciatus. Microsatellites derived from APA gene sequences were linked within 0.8 cM of each other and were placed relative to the rest of the b04 linkage group. In a comparison of genetic to physical distance on the BAC sequence, recombination was found to be moderate with a ratio of 125 kb/cM, but repressed within the APA locus itself. Several markers were predicted to be very effective for genetic studies or marker-assisted selection, based on their significant associations with bruchid resistance and on low adult insect emergence and positions flanking the arcelin and phytohemagglutinin genes

Identificación de riesgos geoambientales y su valoración en la zona de hundimiento del buque Prestige

Potential geological hazard assessment has been carried out in the area where the Prestige vessel was sunk using a broad database that comprises: multibeam, high and ultra-high resolution seismic profiles, gravity cores, onland seismicity stations and Ocean Bottom Seismometers (OBS). The main results of this study indicate that among the geologic factors that can be considered as potential hazards, four main categories can be differentiated based on their origin: morphologic, sedimentary, tectonic, and seismicity. Hazards of morphologic origin include steep gradients; the morphologic features suggest the occurrence of mass-wasting instabilities. Hazards of sedimentary origin also includes the occurrence of slope instability processes in form of single slides and a great variety of erosive and depositional gravity flows (debris and turbidity flows). Hazards of tectonic and seismic origin are important because the sinking area straddles the Calida Bank which is a structural seamount with a moderate tectonic activity that results in a latent seismicity of low to moderate magnitude. The interaction of these factors leads to consider to the risk as medium, and the degree of exposure of the bow and stern as high. Several general and specific recommendations are made in order to increase the geological and geophysics knowledgement in the Prestige sinking area and Spanish continental margins and deep sea areas. These recommendations also should be used to elaborate the options for reducing the hazard and loss

Diverticulum of Kommerell

A case of an 11-months-old girl with vomiting and laryngeal stridor is presented, and in whom a Kommerell diverticulum was demonstrated, which is a rare variant of the incomplete vascular ring. It is well known that the magnetic resonance is the best study to define this malformation. In this patient, it was the cardiac catheterization which allowed to define the structures that constituted the vascular ring. The patient was surgically treated in a successful way. The embryological knowledge of the transformations of the aortic arches offers great assistance in the understanding of all the types of vascular rings

Effect of Regulated Deficit Irrigation and Crop Load on the Antioxidant Compounds of Peaches

8 pages, 4 figures, 1 table.The use of regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) strategies is becoming a common practice in areas with low water availability. Little information is available about the effects of RDI on the antioxidant content of fruits. In this study, the influence of RDI on the content of vitamin C, phenolic compounds and carotenoids was investigated. Two irrigation strategies, fully irrigated (FI) and RDI, were compared at two levels of thinning, commercial and half of the commercial crop load. RDI strategies affected the content of vitamin C, phenolics and carotenoids of Flordastar peaches. RDI caused fruit peel stress lowering the content of vitamin C and carotenoids, while increasing the phenolic content, mainly anthocyanins and procyanidins. Fruit weight was the only quality index influenced by the crop load as it increased in FI fruits at low crop load. In general, fruits from commercial crop load had slightly higher content of antioxidants to fruits from low crop load, although these influences were only observed in the peel. Additionally, the influence of irrigation controlled by two sensors related to plant water level, maximum daily trunk shrinkage (MDS) and sap flow (SF) on the antioxidant constituents of peaches was evaluated. The response of the fruits to SF sensor was similar to that observed for RDI strategy. According to the tested water sensors, SF did not act as a good plant-based water indicator for use in irrigation scheduling, as it caused an increase in the content of phenolics, similar to that observed for fruits subjected to RDI. Therefore, selection of RDI strategies and plant water indicators should be taken into account as they affect the content of antioxidants of peaches.We are grateful to the IRRIQUAL project (FP6-FOOD-CT-2006-023120) and CSD-67 Grant (Consolider-Ingenio 2010 Programme) for financial support.Peer reviewe

Anomalía de Ebstein y comunicación interventricular. Una asociación poco frecuente

La anomalía de Ebstein es una displasia de la válvula tricúspide en la que las valvas septal y posterior se encuentran adosadas a la pared ventricular derecha. La lesión asociada más frecuentemente es la comunicación interauricular y le siguen en frecuencia la estenosis pulmonar y la atresia pulmonar. La asociación con comunicación interventricular (CIV) es rara. Presentamos 3 casos con diagnóstico de anomalía de Ebstein y CIV. Los primeros 2 casos se manifestaron como cardiopatía acianógena con insuficiencia cardíaca e hiperflujo pulmonar y el otro caso se manifestó con cianosis y compromiso de la clase funcional. Se sometió a los 3 pacientes a cirugía. En el primero se cerró la CIV con parche valvulado, plicatura de "porción auriculizada" y plastia tricuspídea; su evolución posquirúrgica fue tórpida, presentó múltiples episodios de arritmia y falleció a los 5 días de la cirugía. En el segundo paciente, sólo se intervino la CIV y en la actualidad sigue en tratamiento médico en clase funcional II de la New York Heart Association (NYHA). En el tercer paciente se realizó cirugía de uno y medio ventricular y colocación de prótesis tricuspídea; su evolución posquirúrgica fue favorable y se encuentra en clase funcional II de la NYHA. La asociación de anomalía de Ebstein y CIV es poco frecuente y la presencia de hiperflujo pulmonar se debe al tamaño y la localización de la CIV. Es necesario un examen clínico detallado que nos permita realizar un diagnóstico correcto y un tratamiento oportuno
