Lactic Acid Bacteria and Yeast Inocula Modulate the Volatile Profile of Spanish-Style Green Table Olive Fermentations
In this work, Manzanilla Spanish-style green table olive fermentations were inoculated
with Lactobacillus pentosus LPG1, Lactobacillus pentosus Lp13, Lactobacillus plantarum Lpl15, the yeast
Wickerhanomyces anomalus Y12 and a mixed culture of all them. After fermentation (65 days),
their volatile profiles in brines were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis.
A total of 131 volatile compounds were found, but only 71 showed statistical differences between
at least, two fermentation processes. The major chemical groups were alcohols (32), ketones (14),
aldehydes (nine), and volatile phenols (nine). Results showed that inoculation with Lactobacillus
strains, especially L. pentosus Lp13, reduced the formation of volatile compounds. On the contrary,
inoculation with W. anomalus Y12 increased their concentrations with respect to the spontaneous
process, mainly of 1-butanol, 2-phenylethyl acetate, ethanol, and 2-methyl-1-butanol. Furthermore,
biplot and biclustering analyses segregated fermentations inoculated with Lp13 and Y12 from the
rest of the processes. The use of sequential lactic acid bacteria and yeasts inocula, or their mixture,
in Spanish-style green table olive fermentation could be advisable practice for producing differentiated
and high-quality products with improved aromatic profile.Gobierno de España-OliFilm-AGL-2013-48300-
Deletion Syndrome 22q11.2: A Systematic Review
22q11.2 deletion syndrome (DS 22q11.2) is a rare disease of genetic origin, caused by the
loss of the q11.2 region of chromosome 22. It affects one in 4000 live newborns, and among the
clinical manifestations that can occur in this syndrome are abnormalities in the parathyroid glands
(producing calcium deficits), the palate, the heart and the thymus. It is also known as DiGeorge
syndrome or velocardiofacial syndrome, among other names, depending on the clinical presentation
of each individual. The main objective of the review was to update information on DS 22q11.2 from
publications in the scientific literature. The daily activities of these patients are seriously impaired,
due to the impact of the clinical manifestations. Interventions can be performed to improve their
social, cognitive and emotional skills, thus increasing their ability to perform different daily activities.Colegio Oficial de Enfermeria de Granada (CODEGRA

Unperceived dating violence among Mexican students
El presente estudio, ex post facto de tipo prospectivo, tiene como objetivo establecer la autopercepción de maltrato, así como los sentimientos de miedo y atrapado que existen entre los miembros de una relación de pareja, y determinar si hay diferencias en la prevalencia de los diferentes tipos de violencia o victimización entre los que se perciben maltratados y los que no, teniendo en cuenta las combinaciones con la sensación de miedo y atrapamiento. Participaron 3.495 estudiantes mexicanos de los cuales 1.927 son preuniversitarios (edad media = 20,16; DT = 2,13) y 1.568 universitarios (edad media = 15,99; DT = 1,64). Se aplicaron un cuestionario de datos sociodemográficos y el Cuestionario de Violencia de Novios (CUVINO). El 88% de los participantes no se percibe como maltratado por su pareja, pero el 15,2% ha sentido miedo y el 27% asevera haberse sentido en algún momento atrapado en la relación. Los datos ponen de manifiesto que una importante mayoría de jóvenes del estudio presenta maltrato técnico, ya que aun cuando se autoperciben como no maltratados presentan la evidencia de haber vivido abuso en su relación de noviazgo.The aim of this ex post facto study was to determine the level of self-perceived abuse and the feelings of fear and entrapment that exist among Mexican students in a dating relationship. We intended to explore possible differences in the prevalence of the various types of violence or victimization between individuals who perceive themselves as being abused and those who do not, combining such perceptions with the feelings of fear and entrapment. The sample was composed of 3,495 Mexican students, of which 1,927 were pre-university students (M= 20.16; SD= 2.13) and 1,568 were university students (M= 15.99; SD= 1.64). We applied a questionnaire on socio-demographic data and the Cuestionario de Violencia entre Novios (CUVINO, Dating Violence Questionnaire). Results showed that 88% of participants did not feel abused by their boyfriend or girlfriend; yet, 15.2% reported having been afraid and 27% reported having felt trapped in the relationship at some point. The data revealed that a considerable majority of youth in the sample had been victims of unperceived abuse. More specifically, they presented evidence of having experienced abuse in their dating relationship even when they described themselves as not being abused
Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome Type Arthrochalasia: A Systematic Review
Ehlers–Danlos syndrome type arthrochalasia (aEDS) is a rare genetic disease characterized
by severe generalized joint hypermobility, bilateral congenital hip dislocation, skin hyperextensibility,
muscle hypotonia, and mild dysmorphic features. It is an autosomal dominant connective tissue
disease causing defects in collagen, associated with two genes, COL1A1 or COL1A2. Only about
42 cases have been published worldwide. Treatment is currently symptomatic and focuses on
increasing the quality of life of these patients, as there is no curative treatment. The main objective of
the review was to update information on Ehlers–Danlos syndrome type arthrochalasia from scientific
publications. The review report was carried out in accordance with the criteria of the Preferred
Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and MetaAnalyses (PRISMA) review protocol, by searching
Orphanet, OMIM, PubMed, and Scopus, as well as free sources. A total of 20 articles were analyzed,
which, after analysis, provide an updated report that aims to establish a solid starting point for future
lines of research

The aim of this study was to research how the situation caused by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has influenced the lives of patients with rare diseases regarding depression and anxiety. This Spanish study considered a heterogeneous population sample of 86 patients with confirmed diagnosis of different rare diseases. Participants took part in a cross-sectional online study by completing specific questionnaires on the study topic. Depression was measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and the General Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) was used for evaluating anxiety. Data collection through an online questionnaire allowed for a greater population scope and therefore the inclusion patients of other nationalities in the study sample. Finally, as a general result, this study found that, in the face of the pandemic, anxiety and depression remained at a higher level in this group than in the general population, making these patients a vulnerable population group
AER tools for Communications and Debugging
Address-event-representation (AER) is a communications protocol for transferring spikes between bio-inspired chips. Such systems may consist of a hierarchical structure with several chips that transmit spikes among them in real time, while performing some processing. To develop and test AER based systems it is convenient to have a set of instruments that would allow to: generate AER streams, monitor the output produced by neural chips and modify the spike stream produced by an emitting chip to adapt it to the requirements of the receiving elements. In this paper we present a set of tools that implement these functions developed in the CAVIAR EU projectUnión Europea IST-2001-34124 (CAVIAR)Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología TIC-2003-08164-C03-0
Tolerance of abuse within Mexican adolescent relationships
Violence in interpersonal relationships in young people has been the subject of several studies in recent years.
Studies of dating violence show that one of the resources available for the young to help perceive and distinguish
abusive or violent behaviour is an indicator which increases the ability to recognise as well as confront the reality of
abuse. Certain violent behaviour however can be perceived as non-abusive, where the victim and the aggressor
can share an abnormal view of the relationship in which possession, jealousy and exclusivity are considered
significant elements within the relationship. The objective of this study is to understand and establish the levels of
aggravation (degree of tolerance) towards violent behaviour in relationships of engaged adolescent Mexicans
affected by abuse, by considering gender and level of perception of abuse as variables. The sample was formed of
3304 young Mexican students between the ages of 13 and 22, containing 1432 boys and 1872 girls, 1383 pursuing
university studies, whereas the remaining 1921 were pre-university students. CUVINO was administered in order to
determine the abusive conduct and levels of discomfort (tolerance), which allowed us to observe that the highest
levels of discomfort, greater than those caused by any other kind of abuse, are experienced by women, especially
regarding sexual victimization within the category of those non-abused women that presented a lower level of
tolerance. This finding led us to identify, as a major risk factor, those men and women with a high level of
tolerance, who did not perceive themselves as having been abused.AECID (CYTED) AP/035718/1
Real time multiple objects tracking based on a bioinspired processing cascade architecture
This paper presents a cascade architecture for bio-inspired information processing. We use AER (Address Event Representation) for transmitting and processing visual information provided by an asynchronous temporal contrast silicon retina. Using this architecture, we also present a multiple objects tracking algorithm; this algorithm is described in VHDL and implemented in a FPGA (Spartan II), which is part of the USB-AER platform developed by some of the authors.Junta de Andalucía P06-TIC-02298Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación TEC2009-10639-C04-02Junta de Andalucía P06-TIC-0141
