Coordination problems in engineering degrees
This work focuses on the analysis of the satisfaction level of the learning for the students of the degree
of Chemical Engineering (CE), Engineering of Industrial Technologies (EIT), Engineering of the
Energy (EE) and Engineering in Industrial Organization (EIO), Computer Science (CS) and
Telecommunications Engineering (TE). A methodology has been proposed for monitoring and
evaluating the correct coordination of execution of how to implement the possible changes in the
syllabus and guidelines of the above degrees. This methodology consists of a revision of the syllabus
of all the subjects of first course; the establishment of indicators to easily identify the subject requiring
improvements, data gathering from students by surveys and interviews and analysis of the results.
From the data obtained with the participation of more than 700 students, some changes have been
proposed to the coordinators of the degrees, involving temporary schedule of contents and guideline
modifications. In addition, the indicators are applicable to other degrees, improving the system of
coordination at different levels.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech
A Test Environment for Wireless Hacking in Domestic IoT Scenarios
Security is gaining importance in the daily life of every citizen. The advent of Internet of Things devices in our lives is changing our conception of being connected through a single device to a multiple connection in which the centre of connection is becoming the devices themselves. This conveys the attack vector for a potential attacker is exponentially increased. This paper presents how the concatenation of several attacks on communication protocols (WiFi, Bluetooth LE, GPS, 433 Mhz and NFC) can lead to undesired situations in a domestic environment. A comprehensive analysis of the protocols with the identification of their weaknesses is provided. Some relevant aspects of the whole attacking procedure have been presented to provide some relevant tips and countermeasures.This work has been partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation through the SecureEDGE project (PID2019-110565RB-I00), and by the by the Andalusian FEDER 2014-2020 Program through the SAVE project (PY18-3724). // Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature. // Funding for open access charge: Universidad de Málaga / CBU
Results of the 2004 Spanish Experimental Fishing in NAFO Subarea 1
An experimental fishing was carried out with three bottom trawlers commercial Spanish vessels from July to December
of the year 2004 in the Subarea 1. The main objective of the experimental fishing was to search for cephalopods species
concentrations inside the territorial waters of Greenland. During the experimental fishing a scientific observer stayed on
board each vessel to collect effort data, catches and yields by haul and Division. The observers carried out length
distribution samplings of the following species: Reinhardtius hippoglossoides, Pandalus borealis, Gadus morhua,
Sebastes spp., Hippoglossoides platessoides and Macrourus berglax. Biological samplings of R. hippoglossoides, P.
borealis, H. platessoides, G. morhua and M. berglax were also carried out. Otoliths of Greenland halibut (1 356) and
Atlantic cod (739) were collected for age determination. Greenland halibut was the main species caught and the
cephalopods, target species, have not been found in the experimental fishing
LIPG endothelial lipase and breast cancer risk by subtypes
Experimental data showed that endothelial lipase (LIPG) is a crucial player in breast cancer. However, very limited data exists on the role of LIPG on the risk of breast cancer in humans. We examined the LIPG-breast cancer association within our population-based case–control study from Galicia, Spain, BREOGAN (BREast Oncology GAlicia Network). Plasma LIPG and/or OxLDL were measured on 114 breast cancer cases and 82 controls from our case–control study, and were included in the present study. The risk of breast cancer increased with increasing levels of LIPG (multivariable OR for the highest category (95% CI) 2.52 (1.11–5.81), P-trend = 0.037). The LIPG-breast cancer association was restricted to Pre-menopausal breast cancer (Multivariable OR for the highest LIPG category (95% CI) 4.76 (0.94–28.77), P-trend = 0.06, and 1.79 (0.61–5.29), P-trend = 0.372, for Pre-menopausal and Post-menopausal breast cancer, respectively). The LIPG-breast cancer association was restricted to Luminal A breast cancers (Multivariable OR for the highest LIPG category (95% CI) 3.70 (1.42–10.16), P-trend = 0.015, and 2.05 (0.63–7.22), P-trend = 0.311, for Luminal A and non-Luminal A breast cancers, respectively). Subset analysis only based on HER2 receptor indicated that the LIPG-breast cancer relationship was restricted to HER2-negative breast cancers (Multivariable OR for the highest LIPG category (95% CI) 4.39 (1.70–12.03), P-trend = 0.012, and 1.10 (0.28–4.32), P-trend = 0.745, for HER2-negative and HER2-positive tumors, respectively). The LIPG-breast cancer association was restricted to women with high total cholesterol levels (Multivariable OR for the highest LIPG category (95% CI) 6.30 (2.13–20.05), P-trend = 0.018, and 0.65 (0.11–3.28), P-trend = 0.786, among women with high and low cholesterol levels, respectively). The LIPG-breast cancer association was also restricted to non-postpartum breast cancer (Multivariable OR for the highest LIPG category (95% CI) 3.83 (1.37–11.39), P-trend = 0.003, and 2.35 (0.16–63.65), P-trend = 0.396, for non-postpartum and postpartum breast cancer, respectively), although we lacked precision. The LIPG-breast cancer association was more pronounced among grades II and III than grade I breast cancers (Multivariable ORs for the highest category of LIPG (95% CI) 2.73 (1.02–7.69), P-trend = 0.057, and 1.90 (0.61–6.21), P-trend = 0.170, for grades II and III, and grade I breast cancers, respectively). No association was detected for OxLDL levels and breast cancer (Multivariable OR for the highest versus the lowest category (95% CI) 1.56 (0.56–4.32), P-trend = 0.457)The BREast Oncology GAlician Network (BREOGAN) is funded by FIS ISCIII/PI12/02125 and PI17/00918 Acción Estratégica de Salud del Instituto de Salud Carlos III / Cofinanciado FEDER; FIS Intrasalud PI13/01136; Programa Grupos Emergentes, Cancer Genetics Unit, CHUVI Vigo Hospital, Instituto de Salud Carlos III, Spain; Grant 10CSA012E, Consellería de Industria Programa Sectorial de Investigación Aplicada, PEME I+D e I+D Suma del Plan Gallego de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación Tecnológica de la Consellería de Industria de la Xunta de Galicia, Spain; Grant EC11-192.

Clonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2
The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, we found 133 cases (1.42%) with detectable clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations (mCA) and 226 males (5.08%) with acquired loss of chromosome Y (LOY). Individuals with clonal mosaic events (mCA and/or LOY) showed a 54% increase in the risk of COVID-19 lethality. LOY is associated with transcriptomic biomarkers of immune dysfunction, pro-coagulation activity and cardiovascular risk. Interferon-induced genes involved in the initial immune response to SARS-CoV-2 are also down-regulated in LOY. Thus, mCA and LOY underlie at least part of the sex-biased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in aging patients. Given its potential therapeutic and prognostic relevance, evaluation of clonal mosaicism should be implemented as biomarker of COVID-19 severity in elderly people. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, individuals with clonal mosaic events (clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations and/or loss of chromosome Y) showed an increased risk of COVID-19 lethality
