Efeitos socioambientais das enchentes de 2013/14 do Rio Madeira no extrativismo da castanheira do Brasil (Bertholletia Excelsa H. & B) e da seringueira (Hevea Brasiliensis Müll. Arg.) na Resex Lago do Capanã Grande, Manicoré-Am.

The causes and socio-economic consequences of mortality in Brazil nut trees (Bertholletia excelsa H. & B) and rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis Mev. Arg.) were studied in the Lago do Capanã Grande extractive reserve, Manicoré, Amazonas. Mortality was associated with the 2013-2014 extreme flood in the Madeira River by statistically analyzing the mortality of georeferenced individuals of the two species in four communities, considering diameter at breast height (DBH) and the time under root asphyxia in eight Brazil nut and five rubber stands. To estimate the impact and socioeconomic consequences of the extreme event on communities, interviews were conducted with 15 families who were residing in the study area and who had extraction of rubber and Brazil nuts as structural economic activities for their family income.Foram pesquisadas as causas climáticas e consequências socioeconômicas da mortalidade em castanheiras (Bertholletia excelsa H. & B) e seringueiras (Hevea brasiliensis Müll. Arg.) relacionando a mortalidade delas com o evento climático extremo da enchente do Madeira no ano 2013/14 dentro da Reserva Extrativista do Lago do Capanã Grande, Manicoré-AM. Para isso foi analisada estatisticamente a mortalidade, georreferenciando indivíduos das duas espécies em quatro comunidades, levantando o diâmetro à altura do peito (DAP) e o tempo sob condições de asfixia radicular em 8 castanhais e 5 seringais. Para estimar o impacto e as consequências deste evento extremo na socioeconômica das comunidades foram entrevistadas 15 famílias agroextrativistas residentes na área de estudo que têm na extração da borracha e da castanha atividades econômicas estruturais na renda familiar

New Insights into the Anterior Complex

Objective: To introduce visualization of the germinal matrix (GM), external angle of the frontal horn, and periventricular white matter while evaluating the anterior complex (AC) during basic ultrasound assessment of the fetal brain. Case presentations: This is a retrospective observational study of healthy women with singleton pregnancies, with no increased risk of fetal central nervous system anomalies, attending routine ultrasound screening at 20-32 weeks' gestation. Seventeen cases are presented in which an abnormal aspect of the GM or external angle of the frontal horn or periventricular white matter on AC evaluation has allowed a prenatal diagnosis of peri-intraventricular hemorrhage, subependymal cysts, connatal cysts, periventricular venous hemorrhagic infarction, and white matter injury. Conclusion: An extended AC evaluation could significantly improve the -diagnosis of hemorrhagic/cystic/hypoxic-ischemic lesions during the performance of a basic ultrasound study of the fetal brain.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

HOP LEARNING: An experience of transversal teaching innovation in telecommunication engineering degrees at the ETSE of the Universitat de València and its impact beyond the classroom

[EN] The needs for teaching innovation in the field of telecommunications engineering go beyond the teaching guide itself and its implementations. The innovation presented here has been developed over the last three academic years to show the benefit of using professional communication systems platforms in formal teaching. This paper analyses the effects measured in previous implementations using project-based learning methodology and formative assessment against the usual context of qualitative assessment. It shows how the appropriate use of these platforms improves students' perception of related content through the analysis of LIKERT surveys. It also presents transfer cases conducted thanks to the inclusion of professional engineering agents in the development of classes and the impact on the design awareness of engineering students and awareness actions on the use of communication platforms in non-university environments.[ES] Las necesidades de innovación docente en el ámbito de la ingeniería de telecomunicaciones van más allá de la propia guía docente y sus implementaciones. La innovación que aquí se presenta se ha desarrollado a lo largo de los últimos 3 cursos académicos para mostrar el beneficio del uso de plataformas profesionales de sistemas de comunicación en la docencia reglada. En este trabajo se analizan los efectos medidos en implementaciones anteriores utilizando metodología de aprendizaje basado en proyectos y evaluación formativa frente al contexto habitual de evaluación cualitativa. Muestra cómo el uso adecuado de estas plataformas mejora la percepción de los alumnos sobre los contenidos relacionados a través del análisis de las encuestas LIKERT. También se presentan los casos de transferencia llevados a cabo gracias a la inclusión de agentes profesionales de la ingeniería en el desarrollo de las clases y el impacto en la conciencia de diseño de los estudiantes de ingeniería y las acciones de sensibilización sobre el uso de plataformas de comunicación en entornos no universitarios.Este trabajo ha sido financiado por el Vicerectorat de Transformació Docent i Formació Permanent de la Universitat de València través del Projecte d’Innovació Educativa per al curs 2022-2023 UV-SFPIE_PID-2079731Pérez Soler, J.; Soriano Asensi, A.; Suárez Zapata, A.; Herraiz García, R.; Amaro Perez, A.; Felici Castell, S.; García Olcina, R....

Nuclear astrophysics with radioactive ions at FAIR

The nucleosynthesis of elements beyond iron is dominated by neutron captures in the s and r processes. However, 32 stable, proton-rich isotopes cannot be formed during those processes, because they are shielded from the s-process flow and r-process, β-decay chains. These nuclei are attributed to the p and rp process. For all those processes, current research in nuclear astrophysics addresses the need for more precise reaction data involving radioactive isotopes. Depending on the particular reaction, direct or inverse kinematics, forward or time-reversed direction are investigated to determine or at least to constrain the desired reaction cross sections. The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) will offer unique, unprecedented opportunities to investigate many of the important reactions. The high yield of radioactive isotopes, even far away from the valley of stability, allows the investigation of isotopes involved in processes as exotic as the r or rp processes

Clustering COVID-19 ARDS patients through the first days of ICU admission. An analysis of the CIBERESUCICOVID Cohort

Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can be classified into sub-phenotypes according to different inflammatory/clinical status. Prognostic enrichment was achieved by grouping patients into hypoinflammatory or hyperinflammatory sub-phenotypes, even though the time of analysis may change the classification according to treatment response or disease evolution. We aimed to evaluate when patients can be clustered in more than 1 group, and how they may change the clustering of patients using data of baseline or day 3, and the prognosis of patients according to their evolution by changing or not the cluster.Methods Multicenter, observational prospective, and retrospective study of patients admitted due to ARDS related to COVID-19 infection in Spain. Patients were grouped according to a clustering mixed-type data algorithm (k-prototypes) using continuous and categorical readily available variables at baseline and day 3.Results Of 6205 patients, 3743 (60%) were included in the study. According to silhouette analysis, patients were grouped in two clusters. At baseline, 1402 (37%) patients were included in cluster 1 and 2341(63%) in cluster 2. On day 3, 1557(42%) patients were included in cluster 1 and 2086 (57%) in cluster 2. The patients included in cluster 2 were older and more frequently hypertensive and had a higher prevalence of shock, organ dysfunction, inflammatory biomarkers, and worst respiratory indexes at both time points. The 90-day mortality was higher in cluster 2 at both clustering processes (43.8% [n = 1025] versus 27.3% [n = 383] at baseline, and 49% [n = 1023] versus 20.6% [n = 321] on day 3). Four hundred and fifty-eight (33%) patients clustered in the first group were clustered in the second group on day 3. In contrast, 638 (27%) patients clustered in the second group were clustered in the first group on day 3.Conclusions During the first days, patients can be clustered into two groups and the process of clustering patients may change as they continue to evolve. This means that despite a vast majority of patients remaining in the same cluster, a minority reaching 33% of patients analyzed may be re-categorized into different clusters based on their progress. Such changes can significantly impact their prognosis

Amazonian flood impacts on managed Brazilnut stands along Brazil's Madeira River: A sustainable forest management system threatened by climate change

Impact of flooding on tropical forest ecosystems and their management is a little-studied area that is expected to become increasingly important under projected climate change. A demonstration of this was provided by the record-breaking 2014 flood of the Madeira River in Brazil. We assessed factors affecting survival of Brazilnut trees (Bertholletia excelsa H.B.K.) under root asphyxia caused by flooding in the Lago do Capanã Grande Extractive Reserve in Manicoré municipality (county), Amazonas state, Brazil. Mortality was surveyed in three Brazilnut groves (castanhais) in 680 individual Brazilnut trees of which 357 had been exposed to flooding and 200 had been flooded for at least 83 days, which was the threshold for mortality effects. Trees were georeferenced and measured for DBH and the height above the ground of the flood-water mark. This information, together with topography from satellite data and water levels from hydrographic gauges, allowed calculation of the time each tree was flooded. None of the 323 unflooded trees died. The analysis indicates a relationship between mortality and duration of root asphyxia, killing 17% of the individuals exposed to flooding and 35% of the individuals that were flooded for periods greater than 109 days. Nevertheless, survival exceeded 50% for all flooding durations. The data suggest that larger trees have a greater probability of mortality for any given period of asphyxia. Expected increases in extreme flood events threaten a sustainable forest management system based on harvest of non-timber products. © 2017 Elsevier B.V
