Estratigrafía del subsuelo y evolución sedimentaria del sector sur de la cuenca terciaria del Duero

This paper describes the main stratigraphic characters of the Palaeogene and Neogene subsurface successions of the southern sector of the Tertiary Duero Basin. Data have been obtained by the analysis of several hundred wells performed in this area. These successions are separated by the Alba-Villoria fault; which acted as a normal fault during the Neogene. The Palaeogene successions develop a wedge geometry thickening towards the northeast and show a complex internal organization with a high degree of lateral and vertical variability making difficult its correlation. They have been interpreted as meandering and braided fluvial channels. The Neogene successions show an mostly lobe geometry emerging from the Alba-Villoria fault and the southern margin of the basin. These coarse-grained lobes change to the east and the northeast into a lutitic realm. The main features of the infilling of the Neogene basin have been illustrated through five coarse detrital percentage maps

La formación de grado en enfermedades infecciosas, resistencia y uso de antibióticos desde la perspectiva de los estudiantes de Medicina

Introducción: Una de las principales herramientas para optimizar el uso de los antibióticos es la formación de los prescriptores. El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer la opinión de los estudiantes de Medicina españoles sobre la formación en enfermedades infecciosas. Material y métodos: Se distribuyó un cuestionario on line anonimizado entre estudiantes de sexto curso a través de distintos canales. El cuestionario incluyó 45 preguntas sobre conocimientos, actitudes y percepciones sobre el diagnóstico, resistencia antimicrobiana, uso de antibióticos y la formación de pregrado en enfermedades infecciosas. Resultados: Se recibieron un total de 441 encuestas de 21 facultades. Se obtuvieron 374 respuestas (84, 8%) de las 8 facultades más representadas, con una tasa de respuesta del 28, 9%. La mayoría de los alumnos se sentían preparados para identificar los signos clínicos de infección (418; 94, 8%) y para interpretar correctamente las pruebas de laboratorio (382; 86, 6%). Reconocieron saber elegir un antibiótico con seguridad sin consultar libros ni guías (178; 40, 4%). Solo 107 alumnos (24, 3%) consideraron haber recibido suficiente formación en el uso prudente de los antimicrobianos. Respecto a los métodos de aprendizaje, se percibieron como más útiles la discusión de casos clínicos, los rotatorios en servicios o unidades de enfermedades infecciosas y los talleres de pequeños grupos: se evaluaron favorablemente en un 76, 9; en un 76 y en un 68, 8% de los casos, respectivamente. Conclusión: Los estudiantes de Medicina se encuentran más seguros en el diagnóstico de enfermedades infecciosas que en el tratamiento antibiótico. Asimismo, sienten la necesidad de recibir mayor formación en antibioterapia y uso prudente en antibióticos. Introduction: One of the main tools to optimize antibiotics use is education of prescribers. The aim of this article is to study undergraduate education in the field of infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic stewardship from the perspective of Spanish medical students. Material and methods: An anonymous online questionnaire was distributed among sixth grade students using different channels in Europe, within the ESGAP Student-Prepare survey. The questionnaire included 45 questions about knowledge, attitudes and perceptions about diagnosis, bacterial resistance, use of antibiotics and undergraduate training in infectious diseases. We present here the Spanish results. Results: A total of 441 surveys were received from 21 medical schools. A total of 374 responses (84.8%) were obtained from the 8 most represented faculties, with a response rate of 28.9%. Most students felt adequately prepared to identify clinical signs of infection (418; 94.8%) and to accurately interpret laboratory tests (382; 86.6%). A total of 178 (40.4%) acknowledged being able to choose an antibiotic with confidence without consulting books or guidelines. Only 107 (24.3%) students considered that they had received sufficient training in judicious use of antibiotics. Regarding learning methods, the discussion of clinical cases, infectious diseases units rotatories and small group workshops were considered the most useful, being evaluated favorably in 76.9%, 76% and 68.8% of the cases. Conclusion: Medical students feel more confident in the diagnosis of infectious diseases than in antibiotic treatment. They also feel the need to receive more training in antibiotics and judicious antibiotic use

Follow up of GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart by Australian-led observing programmes

The discovery of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave signal has generated follow-up observations by over 50 facilities world-wide, ushering in the new era of multi-messenger astronomy. In this paper, we present follow-up observations of the gravitational wave event GW170817 and its electromagnetic counterpart SSS17a/DLT17ck (IAU label AT2017gfo) by 14 Australian telescopes and partner observatories as part of Australian-based and Australian-led research programs. We report early- to late-time multi-wavelength observations, including optical imaging and spectroscopy, mid-infrared imaging, radio imaging, and searches for fast radio bursts. Our optical spectra reveal that the transient source emission cooled from approximately 6 400 K to 2 100 K over a 7-d period and produced no significant optical emission lines. The spectral profiles, cooling rate, and photometric light curves are consistent with the expected outburst and subsequent processes of a binary neutron star merger. Star formation in the host galaxy probably ceased at least a Gyr ago, although there is evidence for a galaxy merger. Binary pulsars with short (100 Myr) decay times are therefore unlikely progenitors, but pulsars like PSR B1534+12 with its 2.7 Gyr coalescence time could produce such a merger. The displacement (~2.2 kpc) of the binary star system from the centre of the main galaxy is not unusual for stars in the host galaxy or stars originating in the merging galaxy, and therefore any constraints on the kick velocity imparted to the progenitor are poor
