The role of equity in small-scale fisheries management
Cristina Ruano-Chamorro explored the role of equity in small-scale fisheries co-management. She found that different equity types relate to various social characteristics, that fair decision-making relies on recognition, agency, process properties, and interpersonal treatment, and that equity positively relates to management and conservation
Thermal Stability of Self-Assembled Monolayers of n-Hexanethiol on Au(111)-(1 × 1) and Au(001)-(1 × 1)
Thermal desorption in an ultrahigh vacuum of n-hexanethiol (C6T) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) prepared from ethanolic solutions on Au(111) and Au(001) unreconstructed surfaces was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The SAMs desorption was performed from room temperature (RT) to 380 K. We report that the hexanethiolate surface saturation coverage is bigger (∼0.4 ML) for the SAM on Au(001) than on Au(111) (∼0.33 ML). We identified a greater stability for C6T SAMs on Au(001). Large amounts of physisorbed species were found on preferred oriented (111) polycrystalline Au at the low coverage regime at RT, while the SAM on the Au(001) single crystal at this conditions desorbs at a steady pace. At 340 K, both SAMs remain stable at the coverage expected for the lying-down phases that maximizes the van der Waals interactions. We observe that at higher temperatures the carbon alpha-sulfur bond breaks, producing free S on both gold surfaces.Fil: Cristina, Lucila Josefina.

[ES] El trabajo analizará las medidas que tiene que tomar la empresa para reducir la huella de carbono. Esta empresa tiene su sede central en Valencia, pero se analizará la delegación que tiene en Alicante, puesto que es donde se realizaron las prácticas de empresa. La investigación se limitará a los dos clientes principales de la compañía en la región geográfica mencionada, siendo estos, Consum y Alcampo. Es un negocio especializado en el transporte de muebles, electrodomésticos, alimentación y toda clase de productos voluminosos. La compañía lleva el articulo hasta el hogar, lo dejan instalado y se llevan el usado en caso de que el cliente lo solicite. Ejercen un nexo entre su comercio y sus clientes añadiendo un plus al proceso de compra con un servicio integral que va más allá del transporte. Esta forma de operar lleva un gran consumo de combustible y su consiguiente contaminación.
El objetivo del trabajo es mediante el análisis y la optimización de los datos de las rutas realizadas proporcionarle a la empresa una serie de recomendaciones para que puedan disminuir la huella de carbono, ya que la empresa quiere disminuir su impacto.[EN] The work will analyze the measures that the company has to take to reduce the carbon footprint. This company has its headquarters in Valencia, but the delegation it has in Alicante will be analyzed, since this is where the business practices were carried out. The investigation will be limited to the two main clients of the company in the aforementioned geographical region, these being Consum and Alcampo. It is a business specialized in the transport of furniture, appliances, food and all kinds of bulky products. The company takes the item home, leave it installed and take the used one in case the customer requests it. They exert a link between their trade and their customers by adding a plus to the purchase process with a comprehensive service that goes beyond transportation. This way of operating leads to high fuel consumption and consequent contamination.
The objective of the work is through the analysis and optimization of the data of the routes made to provide the company with a series of recommendations so that they can reduce the carbon footprint, since the company wants to reduce its impact.Ruano Arráez, C.

Advancing procedural justice in conservation
Just participation in conservation decision-making is a moral imperative and critical to achieving social and ecological goals. However, understanding of what constitutes a just decision-making process in conservation remains limited. Integrating key literature from environmental justice, psychology of justice, and participatory conservation, we identify 11 procedural justice criteria, many of which have been overlooked in conservation literature. We develop a framework to help promote procedural justice in conservation decision-making which organizes the criteria into three key domains (Process properties, Agency of participants, Interpersonal treatment), which are underpinned by the justice dimension of recognition. We highlight seven policy levers that can be used to enhance procedural justice (e.g., scalar and contextual fit, conflict resolution, facilitation). However, advancing just decision-making using this framework requires addressing a number of key challenges, in particular those related to broader structural power inequalities, and elucidating and accounting for plural and situated conceptions of procedural justice. We outline a number of pathways to overcome these challenges, including promoting knowledge coproduction and self-reflexivity
Multiple intelligences: Educational and cognitive development with a guiding focus
Development and dissemination of innovative pedagogies continues to be one of the challenges of the 21st century. The visible deficiencies in the educational field have highlighted the need for other types of pedagogies that promote complete student development. Gardner’s theory about multiple intelligences (MIs) has great potential that has not yet been realised in practice in school contexts. With this research we aimed to analyse the relationship between the intelligences that students develop in primary education and the increase in certain cognitive and academic capacities, and to demonstrate that a pedagogy based on Gardner’s theory does more to promote creativity, maturation and school performance than traditional teaching-learning pedagogies. A total of 420 participants from 2 state-funded schools participated in this study (experimental group = EG; control group = CG). The EG (n = 230) was taught using Gardner’s theory and the CG (n = 190) was taught according to traditional pedagogy. There was an association between the intelligences developed by the students and their academic, creative, and maturational levels. Finally, significant differences were found between the EG and CG, with the EG obtaining a higher mean in the variables analysed in favour of the EG. In conclusion, using MIs in classrooms allows for a more mature and creative development and greater academic performance.

Prevalencia de parásitos en el tracto gastrointestinal en bovinos criollos en el Camal de Salcedo.
This research project was carried out in the Camal Municipal del Cantón Salcedo, province of Cotopaxi, whose objective was to determine the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites of cattle, in order to achieve an effective sanitary management of the herds and productive yields. The coproparasitic analysis was carried out in the Veterinary Medicine Career Laboratory of the Technical University of Cotopaxi, in the academic period November 2020 - March 2021. The diagnostic technique used for this project was the saline solution flotation test (Sucrose), for this, 100 animals were sampled between males and females that were in the slaughter process, which was collected from the rectum of the animal. A 42% prevalence of gastrointestinal parasites was determined in males from the Salcedo slaughterhouse. When observing the results we can see that the genera of gastrointestinal parasites with the highest prevalence with the flotation technique were: Haemonchus spp with 17% of the total samples collected followed by Taenia with 9%, Coccidia with 8%, Trichostrongylus with 7%, Oesophagostomum with 4%, Trichuris and Coccidia with 2% and lastly the genus of Schistosoma with 1%. In addition, a prevalence of gastrointestinal parasitism was observed in relation to the parasitic association in which we obtained a higher incidence in Monoparasitism that was observed by 36%, the second with 4%, which is Biparasitism and finally Triparasitism with 2%. Therefore, it can be determined that many of the people do not have good sanitary control of their livestock herds.El presente proyecto de investigación se realizó en el Camal Municipal del Cantón Salcedo, provincia de Cotopaxi, que tuvo como objetivo determinar la prevalencia de parásitos gastrointestinales de bovinos, con el fin de lograr un eficaz manejo sanitario de los rebaños y rendimientos productivos. El análisis coproparasitario se realizó en el Laboratorio de la Carrera de Medicina Veterinaria de la Universidad Técnica de Cotopaxi, en el periodo académico Noviembre 2020 – Marzo 2021. La técnica de diagnóstico que se utilizó para este proyecto fue la prueba de flotación con solución salina (Sacarosa), para esto se muestrearon 100 animales entre machos y hembras que se encontraban en el proceso de faenamiento, los cuales se recogió la muestra del recto del animal. Se determinó una prevalencia de parásitos gastrointestinales de 42% de machos del camal de Salcedo. Al observar los resultados podemos ver que los géneros de parásitos gastrointestinales con mayor prevalencia con la técnica de flotación fueron: Haemonchus spp con el 17% del total de las muestras recolectadas, seguido de Taenia con el 9%, Coccidia con el 8%, Trichostrongylus con el 7%, Oesophagostomum con el 4%, Trichuris y Coccidia con el 2% y como último el género de Schistosoma con el 1%. Además, se observó una prevalencia de parasitismo gastrointestinal en relación a la asociación parasitaria en lo que obtuvimos una mayor incidencia en Monoparasitismo que se observó un 36%, el segundo con un 4% que es el Biparasitismo y por último el Triparasitismo con un 2%. Por lo tanto, se puede determinar que muchas de las personas no tienen un buen control sanitario de sus hatos ganaderos
Perfil do doente com traumatismo cranioencefálico atendido num serviço de urgência de uma ULS do norte de Portugal
Um traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) ocorre como consequência de uma força mecânica direta ou indireta aplicada na cabeça. É considerado um dos principais problemas de saúde pública de âmbito mundial e as suas características epidemiológicas variam de acordo com cada população, encontrando-se entre os tipos de trauma mais frequentes nos serviços de urgência. As vítimas de TCE exigem intervenções de enfermagem adequadas pelo que, o enfermeiro, enquanto membro fundamental de uma equipa multidisciplinar, necessita de constante atualização e desenvolvimento de competências, numa abordagem holística do doente neurocrítico.
Objetivos: O presente trabalho tem por objetivo geral: Caracterizar o perfil do doente com traumatismo cranioencefálico atendido num serviço de urgência de uma ULS do Norte de Portugal. Definiram-se como objetivos específicos: (i) Caracterizar o perfil sociodemográfico da amostra; (ii) Caracterizar a amostra em função da presença de fatores de risco; (iii) Identificar as principais etiologias do traumatismo cranioencefálico; (iv) Determinar a gravidade do TCE, pela avaliação do nível de consciência dos doentes, através da Escala de Coma de Glasgow; (v) Identificar a principal sintomatologia pós TCE nas vítimas; (vi) Identificar o número de doentes em função dos exames complementares de diagnóstico realizados; (vii) Identificar as principais lesões cranioencefálicas associadas ao traumatismo nos doentes; (viii) Avaliar a prevalência de TCE na população atendida no SU no período de recolha de dados definido.
Métodos: Para a realização do presente trabalho foi desenvolvido um estudo observacional, descritivo, de abordagem quantitativa. Utilizando um método não- probabilístico, com uma amostragem por conveniência, foi obtida uma amostra de 153 vítimas de TCE que recorreram ao SU de uma ULS do Norte de Portugal, no período compreendido entre 5 de abril a 5 de julho de 2022. Os dados foram colhidos através de um instrumento de recolha de dados elaborado para o efeito, com base na observação, complementados com o resultado de exames de diagnóstico realizados e respetivo diagnóstico médico.
Resultados: Os resultados obtidos evidenciam predomínio do sexo masculino (56,9%), com uma média de idades de 63,5 anos (DP 28,79), verificando-se uma maior prevalência de TCE nos pacientes com idade superior ou igual a 85 anos (29,4%) e maioritariamente residentes em ambiente rural (55,6%). A principal etiologia foram as quedas da própria altura (56,3%), com predomínio do TCE Ligeiro (98,6%). O fator de risco predominante foi a idade superior a 65 anos (58,8%) e a principal sintomatologia associada foi a perda de consciência (22,3%). A Tomografia Computorizada cerebral foi o exame complementar de diagnóstico dominante (84,9%) e as lesões na pele/couro cabeludo foram as mais frequentes nos TCE observados (42,5%). Quanto aos traumatismos associados, os mais frequentes foram os traumatismos nos membros (31,4%). Houve predomínio da alta hospitalar após observação clínica (72,5%). A taxa de prevalência de TCE no respetivo SU no período estudado foi de 1,68 %.
Conclusão: Conhecer melhor o perfil da vítima de TCE atendida num SU e tendo em consideração que a atuação do enfermeiro especialista na intervenção antecipada e prevenção de complicações na Pessoa em situação Crítica é fundamental uma vez que, no seu percurso desde a lesão até à alta clínica, esta pode sofrer inúmeras complicações. Dessa forma, o perfil encontrado sugere a importância da adoção de medidas de prevenção das principais etiologias do TCE bem como o aprimoramento no atendimento às vítimas.Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs as a result of direct or indirect mechanical force applied to the head. It is considered one of the major public health problems worldwide, and its epidemiological characteristics vary according to each population, being among the most frequent types of trauma seen in emergency services. TBI victims require appropriate nursing interventions, and nurses, as key members of a multidisciplinary team, need constant updating and constant skill development in a holistic approach to the neurocritical patient.
Aim: The main objective of this study is to characterise the profile of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) treated at an emergency department of Northern Portugal Local Health Unit (ULS). The following specific objectives were defined: (i) Characterize the socio-demographic profile of the sample; (ii) Characterize the sample according to the presence of risk factors; (iii) Identify the main causes of traumatic brain injury; (iv) Determine the severity of TBI by assessing patients' level of consciousness using the Glasgow Coma Scale; (v) Identify the main post-TBI symptoms in the victims; (vi) Identify the number of patients based on the complementary diagnostic tests performed; (vii) Identify the main head injury associated with trauma in the patients; (viii) Evaluate the incidence of TBI in the population attended at the Emergency Department during the defined data collection period.
Methods: To carry out the present study, an observational, descriptive approach with a quantitative method was employed. Using a non-probabilistic technique, with a convenience sampling, we obtained a sample of 153 TBI victims who sought treatment at the Emergency Department of a Northern Portugal Local Health Unit (ULS), between April 5 and July 5, 2022. Data were collected using a specifically designed data collection tool based on observation, complemented with the results of diagnostic tests conducted as well as the corresponding medical diagnosis.
Results: The results show a predominance of males (56.9%), with an average age of 63.5 years (SD 28.79), and a higher incidence of TBI in patients aged 85 years or older (29.4%) and mostly living in rural areas (55.6%). The main etiology was falls from standing height (56.3%), with a predominance of mild TBI (98.6%). The predominant risk factor was age over 65 years (58.8%) and the main associated symptom was loss of consciousness (22.3%). Computed tomography of the brain was the dominant diagnostic complementary exam (84.9%) and skin/scalp injuries were the most frequent in the observed TBIs (42.5%). Regarding associated traumas, limb injuries were the most common (31.4%). There was a predominance of hospital discharge after clinical observation (72.5%). The incidence rate of TBI in the respective Emergency Department during the study period was 1.68%.
Conclusion: Having a better understanding of the profile of TBI victims treated at an Emergency Department and considering that the role of specialist nurses in early intervention and prevention of complications in critically ill patients is crucial, since they may experience numerous complications from the time of injury until clinical discharge. Therefore, the identified profile emphasizes the importance of adopting measures to prevent the main etiologies of TBI, as well as improving the care provided to the victims
