    Get PDF
    Me decidí a tratar el tema del crecimiento intrauterino retardado (CIR) y su patología secundaria por ser una de las principales causas de mortalidad perinatal y con mayor tasa de morbilidad hospitalaria perinatal, suponiendo una gran carga económica para los sistemas de salud. Se asocia a retraso psicomotor y del coeficiente intelectual, además de tener un mayor riesgo de presentar enfermedades crónicas en la vida adulta. Realicé una revisión bibliográfica y consulté con el Centro de Atención Temprana y con la Matrona de Atención Primaria, para conocer los diferentes niveles de prevención y las consecuencias del CIR. Cómo objetivo principal pretendemos lograr una detección precoz y la identificación de los factores de riesgo asociados. Pretendemos conocer cómo afecta el CIR a la salud física y psicológica del niño y la importancia de la coordinación interdisciplinar para asegurar una atención integral al niño y a su familia. Enfermería realiza un papel importante en el seguimiento desde la consulta de atención primaria, interviniendo desde el periodo preconcepcional y con un adecuado seguimiento de gestantes con factores de riesgo, junto a una correcta planificación sanitaria en el periodo postnatal que nos permita realizar una intervención temprana para el futuro del niño y mejorar su adaptación social y familiar. Como resultado desarrollaremos las intervenciones de enfermería que se pueden realizar en diferentes etapas de la gestación y tras el nacimiento sobre el recién nacido, incluyendo las actividades del programa de estimulación temprana. Concluiremos con la eficacia de estas intervenciones.Departamento de EnfermeríaGrado en Enfermerí

    Lagrangian particle tracking for the assessment of the flushing efficiency of harbor structures: the case of the Port of the Bay of Algeciras, Strait of Gibraltar

    The Bay of Algeciras, an inlet of about 9 x 11 km located at the eastern margin of the Strait of Gibraltar, opens to the south, where the Atlantic jet leaves the Strait and starts spreading into the Alboran Sea. In its western side, the Bay hosts one of the main ports in Europe, neuralgic base of the major traffic load from Europe to Africa and from Europa to the rest of the oversea countries. The massive transport of liquid and solid bulk or bunkering activity, daily carried out in the Bay, combined with the harsh weather conditions that often lash the zone, give the ideal scenario for an incipient ecological disaster. This high environmental risk motivates the interest for a deeper understanding of the small scale dynamics of the Bay and the role played by the port structures in case of oil spill or other surface contaminations. A series of Lagrangian particles tracking (LPT) experiments were carried out to investigate the flushing patterns of the Bay and 8 different docks inside the local port, under a representative variety of external conditions, such as tide phase and strength, and winds. A 2D LPT algorithm has been adapted to fully exploit the outputs of a very high resolution (∼30m) three-domain-nested hydrodynamic model, with the aim of resolving the complex circulation within the structures of the harbor. Winds are a clearly dominant factor, with westerlies featuring e-folding times one order of magnitude lower than easterlies. Fortnightly tidal modulation presents a counter-intuitive effect, with spring tides that, despite promoting higher ventilation in a first instance, end up providing higher accumulation of particles inside the docks and higher e-folding times than neap tides. Tide phase affects the current direction at the entrance of the docks during the first few hours of simulation and its effect is progressively masked throughout the experiment. In the 45% of the experiments, a significant quantity of particles flow out to the Alboran Sea (55% in the whole Bay experiment), confirming the importance of the Bay on the exportation of pollutant/properties to the nearby basin.Universidad de Málaga.

    Mediterranean outflow and its link with upstream conditions in Alboran Sea

    Get PDF
    The Western Alboran Gyre (WAG) at the eastern entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar can influence the Mediterranean outflow (MOW) by favoring or hampering the flow of Levantine and Western Mediterranean (LIW and WMDW) waters, the main constituents of the MOW. Observations collected at Camarinal sill in the Strait and AVISO data are used to investigate this issue.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech

    Development of electrochemical methods for determination of tramadol - analytical application to pharmaceutical dosage forms

    Get PDF
    A square-wave voltammetric (SWV) method and a flow injection analysis system with amperometric detection were developed for the determination of tramadol hydrochloride. The SWV method enables the determination of tramadol over the concentration range of 15-75 µM with a detection limit of 2.2 µM. Tramadol could be determined in concentrations between 9 and 50 µM at a sampling rate of 90 h-1, with a detection limit of 1.7 µM using the flow injection system. The electrochemical methods developed were successfully applied to the determination of tramadol in pharmaceutical dosage forms, without any pre-treatment of the samples. Recovery trials were performed to assess the accuracy of the results; the values were between 97 and 102% for both methods

    Background: Diets high in acid load may contribute to kidney function impairment. This study aimed to investigate the association between dietary acid load and 1-year changes in glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR). Methods: Older adults with overweight/obesity and metabolic syndrome (mean age 65 ± 5 years, 48% women) fromthe PREDIMED-Plus study who had available data on eGFR (n = 5,874) or UACR (n = 3,639) at baseline and after 1 year of follow-up were included in this prospective analysis. Dietary acid load was estimated as potential renal acid load (PRAL) and net endogenous acid production (NEAP) at baseline froma food frequency questionnaire. Linear and logistic regression models were fitted to evaluate the associations between baseline tertiles of dietary acid load and kidney function outcomes. One year- changes in eGFR and UACR were set as the primary outcomes.We secondarily assessed 10% eGFR decline or 10% UACR increase. Results: After multiple adjustments, individuals in the highest tertile of PRAL or NEAP showed higher one-year changes in eGFR (PRAL, b: – 0.64 ml/min/1.73 m2; 95% CI: –1.21 to –0.08 and NEAP, b: –0.56 ml/min/1.73 m2; 95% CI: –1.13 to 0.01) compared to those in the lowest category. No associations with changes in UACR were found. Participants with higher levels of PRAL and NEAP had significantly higher odds of developing 10% eGFR decline (PRAL, OR: 1.28; 95% CI: 1.07–1.54 and NEAP, OR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.03–1.50) and 10 % UACR increase (PRAL, OR: 1.23; 95% CI: 1.04–1.46) compared to individuals with lower dietary acid load. Conclusions: Higher PRAL and NEAP were associated with worse kidney function after 1 year of follow-up as measured by eGFR and UACR markers in an older Spanish population with overweight/obesity andmetabolic syndrome.CIBER Fisiopatologia de la Obesidad y Nutricion (CIBEROBN)Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII), through the Fondo de Investigacion para la Salud (FIS)European Commission 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 PI14/01919 PI14/00853 PI14/01374 PI14/00972 PI14/00728 PI14/01471Especial Action ProjectEuropean Research Council (ERC) European Commission 340918La Caixa Foundation 2013ACUP00194Junta de Andalucia PI0458/2013 PS0358/2016 PI0137/2018Center for Forestry Research & Experimentation (CIEF)European Commission PROMETEO/2017/017 PROMETEO/2021/021 AICO/2021/347 2022 FI_B100108SEMERGEN grantBoosting young talent call grant program for the development of IISPV research projects 2019-2021 2019/IISPV/03Societat Catalana d'Endocrinologia i Nutricio (SCEN) Clinical-Research Grant 2019CIBEROBNICREA under the ICREA Academia programmeGeneralitat de Catalunya 2022 FI_B100108European Commission PI16/01522 PI16/01120 PI17/00764 PI17/01183 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 PI19/00017 PI19/01226 PI19/00781 PI13/00233 PI13/02184 PI13/00728 PI13/01090 PI13/01056 PI14/01722 PI14/00636 PI14/00618 PI14/00696 PI14/01206 PI14/01919 PI14/00853 PI19/01560 PI19/01332 PI20/01802 PI20/00138 PI20/01532 PI20/00456 PI20/00339 PI20/00557 PI20/00886 PI20/01158 PI14/01374 PI14/00972 PI14/00728 PI14/01471 PI16/00473 PI16/00662 PI16/01873 PI16/01094 PI16/00501 PI16/00533 PI16/00381 PI16/0036

    El nou marc d'avaluació de la competència científica PISA 2015 : revisió i reflexions didàctiques

    Get PDF
    Després d'uns primers anys en què l'anomenat ensenyament per competències ha estat omnipresent en gran part dels sistemes educatius, el nou marc d'avaluació de la compe-tència científica de PISA 2015 planteja d'una manera molt més operativa i pràctica l'educació per formar ciutadans científicament alfabetitzats. Es dóna així resposta a la manca d'una definició prou clara sobre com portar a terme aquesta educació competenci-al, fins al moment massa ambigua. En aquest article, revisem les principals novetats d'aquest marc i reflexionem sobre les implicacions que la seva aplicació pot tenir. D'una banda, el nou marc canvia lleugerament les tres competències científiques clau. D'altra banda, deixa clar que per assolir aquestes competències i ser alfabetitzat científicament cal tenir un conjunt de coneixements: conceptual, procedimental i epistèmic. Com es defi-neixen aquests coneixements i com integrar-los per assolir cadascuna de les competènci-es científiques és l'aportació més important d'aquest nou marc 2015.After some recent years in which the well-known competence-based teaching has been omnipresent in most educational systems, the new framework for assessing scientific liter-acy in PISA 2015 presents in a much more operational and practical way the education for the achievement of scientific literacy. This new approach gives an answer to the lack of a sufficiently clear definition on how this competence-based education should be conducted, something that has been too ambiguous until now. In this paper, we review the main changes and features of this new framework and reflect on the possible implications when implemented. On the one hand, the new framework slightly modifies the three key scien-tific competencies. On the other hand, it clarifies that to achieve these competencies and become a scientifically literate person it is necessary to have a body of knowledge: con-tent, procedural and epistemic knowledge. How these different types of knowledge are de-fined and how they can be integrated in order to achieve each of the scientific competencies is the most important contribution of this new PISA framework 2015

    TEACHING AND LEARNING BEYOND-THE-BOOKS: DAIRY FARM EXPERIENCES Flávio Silva1, Ana Lúcia Garrido1, Cristina Conceição1,2 1Departamento de Zootecnia, Universidade de Évora, Portugal; 2ICAAM, Universidade de Évora, Portugal; 3Departamento de Fitotecnia, Universidade de Évora, Portugal ABSTRACT Dairy science has a great relevance in agriculture and in Animal Sciences education. In the European Union the total cow’s milk collected, by dairy farms rounds the 154 million tonnes in 2017 (see Figure 1.) (1). For a better student’s acquisition of knowledge and skills, the learning process needs to have a theoretical and practical approach. Therefore, field trips and academic internships into dairy farms, with protocols with universities, can strongly contribute to the student’s academic learning (2). Academic institutions, with experimental farms, have a great relevance since students can have a daily practice and have a responsibility for various kind of activities. The Science and Technological School of Évora’s University holds an experimental farm called Herdade da Mitra, that is managed in partnership with Z.E.A. - Sociedade Agrícola Unipessoal, Lda, and protocols with commercial dairy farms that are open to receive students and give them the opportunity to evolve and develop their skills acquired at university. At the experimental farm the aim is self-sustainability and to lend the opportunity for the Animal’s Science, Zootechny, Agronomy and Veterinary students to practice what they learn inside the classroom. The farm activities supervised by the teachers give student’s competences on dairy farm management: nutrition, reproduction, milking and animal health and welfare. At the commercial farms, besides a business and good dairy farms practices’ knowledge, it’s of huge importance a symbiotic relationship between the dairy farm manager and the students, supplemented by the academic supervisor. Teaching and learning beyond-the-books aids students to quickly progress into farm managers, acquire tools for research work and have more employment opportunities.
