Lost colours: Photogrammetry, image analysis using the DStretch plugin, and 3-D modelling of post-firing painted pottery from the south west Iberian Peninsula

The main purpose of this project was to verify the use of the DStretch plugin, designed to study rock art, for analysing post-firing painted pottery from the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age in the Atlantic façade of the Iberian Peninsula. To do so, a Guadalquivir-type carinated pot was used as a study vessel from the excavations of Portaceli (Medellín, Badajoz, Spain). The study brought together all of the different methods used, from the photogrammetry used to obtain a high-quality image of the piece, analysis with DStretch, and the final 3-D modelling process in order to accurately reproduce the shape and decoration of the vessel. The final goal was to obtain precise documentation on these types of vessels, the handling of which is not recommended due to the fragile nature of the pigments used in their decoration.This work is part of the R&D&I Project entitled “Building Tartessos: Constructive, Spatial, and Territorial Analysis of an Architectural Model in the Central Guadiana Valley” (HAR2015-63788-P)

A 360º sustainable approach of sport events legacies: A systematic review

Researchers recognise the importance of the legacies and impacts generated by sport events, both in the host city and globally. In turn, there are many actors who participate in them, both directly and indirectly, and who are affected, both positively and negatively, by them. This research aims to identify and compile the existing scientific literature on the legacy, heritage, and related concepts, such as impact and/or leverage, of sport events. To this end, a systematic literature review was carried out, focusing the search on Web of Science, Scopus, Pub Med, and Sport Discus, where 35 articles were finally collected, in which the sum of 44 sport events were studied. It was identified that the most studied types of events were the Olympic Games and World Championships. In relation to the types of legacies, sport stands out, while in the types of impacts, sport and economic impacts stand out. It can be deduced from this research that, although there is a great deal of interest in the subject, there is still a need to go deeper into the concepts to reach a consensus on them, thus being able to achieve more solid results.Ministerio de Educación Cultura y Deporte - Salvador de Madariaga (PRX 16/00367)

Creating Learning Environments Free of Violence in Special Education Through the Dialogic Model of Prevention and Resolution of Conflicts

Violence suffered by children is a violation of human rights and a global health problem. Children with disabilities are especially vulnerable to violence in the school environment, which has a negative impact on their well-being and health. Students with disabilities educated in special schools have, in addition, more reduced experiences of interaction that may reduce both their opportunities for learning and for building protective social networks of support. This study analyses the transference of evidence-based actions to prevent violence in schools - the dialogic model of prevention and resolution of conflicts (DMPRC) - in the context of a special school, and its impact on the reduction of violence, the creation of egalitarian relationships, and the prevention of bullying. A case study with a communicative approach was conducted including in-depth interviews and communicative focus groups with the diverse participants to analyze the process of transformation carried out in the school and the main actions that give students a voice in the management and creation of egalitarian non-violent relationships. The results show that the inclusion of the students' voices in the resolution and prevention of conflicts reduces violence, empowers special education students, strengthens friendship relationships, caring behavior, and active positioning among the community. The positive impact of the transference of the DMPRC to special schools contributes to students' well-being and healthy development by offering safe and protective educational spaces and quality emotional education, also contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals related to the elimination of all forms of violence in childhood

The impact of patient support programs in Europe: a systematic literature review

Background and Objective : Patient support programs aim to provide solutions beyond the medication itself, by enhancing treatment adherence, improving clinical outcomes, elevating patient experience, and/or increasing quality of life. As patient support programs increasingly play an important role in assisting patients, numerous observational studies and pragmatic trials designed to evaluate their impact on healthcare have been conducted in recent years. This review aims to characterize these studies. Methods : A systematic literature review, supplemented by a broad search of gray literature, was conducted following PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) and Cochrane recommendations. Observational studies and pragmatic trials conducted in Europe to evaluate the impact of patient support programs, published in English or Spanish between 17/03/2010 and 17/03/2020, were reviewed. Two patient support program definitions were applied starting with Ganguli et al.’s broad approach, followed by the European Medicines Agency definition, narrowed to Marketing Authorization Holders organized systems and their medicines. The quality of publications was assessed using the STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology) statement 22-item checklist. Results : Of the 49 identified studies following the Ganguli et al. definition, 20 studies met the European Medicines Agency definition and were reviewed. Patient support program impact was evaluated based on a wide range of methodologies: 70% assessed patient support program-related patient-reported outcomes, 55% reported clinical outcomes, and 25% reported economic impacts on health resources. Only 45% conducted a comparative analysis. Overall, 75% of the studies achieved their proposed objectives. Conclusions : The heterogeneity of the observational studies reviewed reflects the complexity of patient support programs that are built ad hoc for specific diseases, treatments, and patients. Results suggest that patient support programs play a key role in promoting treatment effectiveness, clinical outcomes, and satisfaction. However, there is a need for standardizing the definition of patient support programs and the methods to evaluate their impact

Can Sustained Deficit Irrigation Save Water and Meet the Quality Characteristics of Mango?

Mango is one of the most cultivated tropical fruits worldwide and one of few drought-tolerant plants. Thus, in this study the effect of a sustained deficit irrigation (SDI) strategy on mango yield and quality was assessed with the aim of reducing irrigation water in mango crop. A randomized block design with four treatments was developed: (i) full irrigation (FI), assuring the crop’s water needs, and three levels of SDI receiving 75%, 50%, and 33% of irrigation water (SDI75, SDI50, and SDI33). Yield, morphology, color, titratable acidity (TA), total soluble solids (TSS), organic acids (OA), sugars, minerals, fiber, antioxidant activity (AA), and total phenolic content (TPC) were analyzed. The yield was reduced in SDI conditions (8%, 11%, and 20% for SDI75, SDI50, and SDI33, respectively), but the irrigation water productivity was higher in all SDI regimes. SDI significantly reduced the mango size, with SDI33 generating the smallest mangoes. Peel color significantly changed after 13 days of ripening, with SDI75 being the least ripe. The TA, AA, and citric acid were higher in SDI75, while the TPC and fiber increased in all SDI levels. Consequently, SDI reduced the mango size but increased the functionality of samples, without a severe detrimental effect on the yield

COVID-19 e vulnerabilidade à velhice bem-sucedida e saúde mental

Introduction: COVID-19 and the measures generated to protect older adults have marked much more the vulnerability of this group, increasing psychosocial risk factors such as disengagement, mistreatment, anxiety; which required examining patterns of successful old age that generate and guarantee mental health in the elderly. Objective: to characterize those indicators of a successful old age that promote mental health, through its concrete expression in a patient. Method: qualitative approach, favoring the single critical case study. To assess the mental health and vulnerability criteria, a semi-structured interview was used. For the characterization of old age, we worked with the biographical method and the life history technique, from August to November 2021. Results: vulnerability criteria such as widowhood and loneliness were identified, but prevailed micro and macrosocial strengths at an individual level, which is consolidated with a healthy mental state that was expressed in evident functioning and psychological well-being. All the indicators of successful aging that were defined were presented in the patient, guaranteeing satisfactory transit through the stage. Conclusions: the patient with a successful old age has networks of integration, activation and transcendence that allow him to restructure his field of action in a context such as COVID-19; guaranteeing self-assessment and a sense of life, expressed in a developing way to favor their mental health and psychological development.Introducción: la COVID-19 y las medidas generadas para proteger a los adultos mayores han marcado mucho más la vulnerabilidad de este grupo, incrementando factores de riesgos psicosociales como la desvinculación, el maltrato, la ansiedad, lo que demandó examinar patrones de vejez exitosa que generan y garantizan salud mental en personas de esta edad. Objetivo: caracterizar aquellos indicadores de una vejez exitosa que promueven salud mental, a través de su expresión concreta en un paciente. Método: enfoque cualitativo, privilegiando el estudio de caso único de carácter crítico. Para evaluar los criterios de salud mental y vulnerabilidad, se utilizó una entrevista semiestructurada. Para la caracterización de la vejez se trabajó con método biográfico y la técnica de historia de vida durante los meses de agosto a noviembre de 2021. Resultados: se identificaron criterios de vulnerabilidad como la viudez y la soledad, pero predominaron fortalezas a nivel individual, micro y macrosocial, lo que se consolida con un estado mental saludable que se expresó en evidente funcionamiento y bienestar psicológico. Se presentaron en la paciente, todos los indicadores de vejez exitosa que se definieron, garantizando el tránsito satisfactorio por la etapa. Conclusiones: la paciente con una vejez exitosa posee redes de integración, activación y trascendencia que le permiten reestructurar su campo de acción en un contexto como el que ha implicado la COVID-19, garantizando autovaloración y sentido de vida, expresados de forma desarrolladoras para favorecer su salud mental y su desarrollo psicológico.Introdução: a COVID-19 e as medidas geradas para proteger os idosos marcaram muito mais a vulnerabilidade desse grupo, aumentando fatores de risco psicossociais como desengajamento, maus-tratos, ansiedade, o que exigiu examinar padrões de velhice bem-sucedida que geram e garantem a saúde mental em pessoas desta idade. Objetivo: caracterizar os indicadores de uma velhice bem-sucedida que promovem a saúde mental, por meio de sua expressão concreta em um paciente. Método: abordagem qualitativa, privilegiando o estudo de caso único crítico. Para avaliar os critérios de saúde mental e vulnerabilidade, foi utilizada uma entrevista semiestruturada.

Conclusões: o paciente com velhice bem-sucedida possui redes de integração, ativação e transcendência que lhe permitem reestruturar seu campo de ação em um contexto como o que a COVID-19 implicou, garantindo autoavaliação e sentido de vida, expressa de forma crescente para favorecer sua saúde mental e desenvolvimento psicológico

Ruthenium(II) Tris(2,2'-bipyridyl) Complex Incorporated in UiO-67 as Photoredox Catalyst

This document is the Accepted Manuscript version of a Published Work that appeared in final form in The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, © American Chemical Society after peer review and technical editing by the publisher. To access the final edited and published work see http://doi.org/10.1021/acs.jpcc.8b07204[EN] Ruthenium(II) bis(2,2'-bipyridine) (2,2'-bipyridyl-5,5'-dicarboxylic acid), Rudcbpy, attached to the UiO-67(Zr) metal organic framework (MOF), generates upon visible light excitation the localized triplet excited state of the ruthenium(II) bipyridyl complex that decays partly to a very long-lived (millisecond time scale) photoinduced charge-separated state following a similar behavior as that of analogous ruthenium(II) tris(bipyridyl) complex dissolved in water, except that the lifetime of the soluble complex excited state is orders of magnitude shorter. The occurrence of photoinduced charge separation on the Rudcbpy-UiO-67(Zr) MOF has been proven visually by using methyl viologen as electron acceptor. Rudcbpy-UiO-67(Zr) behaves as a heterogeneous, reusable, photoredox catalyst promoting debromination of alpha-bromoketones with excellent selectivity at high conversions. Characterization data show that Rudcbpy-UiO-67(Zr) is stable under the photocatalytic reaction conditions.Financial support by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (CTQ2014-53292-R-AR, Severo Ochoa, CTQ2015-69153-CO2-R) and Generalitat Valenciana (Prometeo 2017/083) is gratefully acknowledged.
