Análisis del tejido productivo de Castilla y León a través de la información contenida en el DIRCE

Debido a la importancia que representa la estructura productiva de un país o región para una economía, el papel de las empresas es fundamental. Dicha estructura determina en gran medida el ritmo de crecimiento económico del mismo. Por tanto, conocer cómo es el tejido productivo de cierta área económica es importante para poder explicar ciertos comportamientos de esa economía. En este sentido, por la capacidad que tienen las empresas de crear crecimiento económico, crear empleo e innovar, es importante analizar el tejido productivo de un país o región. En particular, Castilla y León cuenta con un tejido empresarial caracterizado por la reducida dimensión de sus empresas, es decir, más del 90% son microempresas o empresas que cuentan con menos de 10 personas empleadas a su cargo.Departamento de Economía AplicadaGrado en Administración y Dirección de Empresa

Epidemiología, características clínicas y morbi-mortalidad del hipopituitarismo en el Área Sanitaria de Santiago de Compostela

Existen muy pocos datos cerca de la incidencia y prevalencia del hipopituitarismo en la población general. En el año 2001 se publicó el primer estudio epidemiológico poblacional de hipopituitarismo de cualquier causa en pacientes adultos, siendo la prevalencia y la incidencia anual reportadas de 45,5 y 4,21 casos por cada cien mil habitantes. Los tumores hipofisarios y/o su tratamiento mediante cirugía y/o radioterapia hipofisaria, constituyen la causa más frecuente de hipopituitarismo, representando hasta un 60% de los casos

Update of the quarterly model of the Bank of Spain

This paper presents the update of the macroeconometric model used at the Bank of Spain for medium term macroeconomic forecasting of the Spanish economy, as well as for performing policy simulations. The many changes that the Spanish economy has experimented in the last years, and the new system of national accounts published by the national statistical office, suggested that a reestimation of the model was due. This paper presents such reestimation with newer data (up to the end of 2005), and includes some modifications that were deemed necessary in certain equations. The quarterly model of the Bank of Spain keeps a similar structure to its previous versionit is basically a demand-driven model. The Spanish economy is found, in general, more sensitive than in previous periods to changes in exogenous variables, especially to the financial conditions. The new model also shows changes in demographic trends, and presents an external sector less sensitive to changes in price-competitivenes

Pharmaceutical care in flu and cold in a community pharmacy of Zamora capital in the months of September to February

Introduction: Influenza and cold are two pathologies of viral origin that increase the consultations in community pharmacy in the cold months. The appropriate approach to this minor symptomatology is part of the tasks of the pharmacist and must be carried out in a consensual manner in order to take into account all aspects of these pathologies, which have limited immunity and numerous reinfections./nObjectives: Offer adequate pharmaceutical care by protocolizing the action in the pharmacy office. Offer the patient the máximum information about the disease in order to get adequate health care. Antibiotics not useful in these pathologies./nMaterials and methods: Observational cross-sectional study, carried out in the pharmacy office of Tomas Codesal in Zamora, Spain. Evaluations were conducted by means of surveys accompanied by an informative brochure that is given to the patient./nResults and discussion: The data obtained show that the majority of patients come first to the community pharmacy before the appearance of the first symptoms of flu or cold./nConclusion:  From the Community Pharmacy a very important assistance work is done, improving the quality of life of the patient, the prevention of diseases and his knowledge in the distinction of two pathologies very consulted to the pharmacist.Introducción: Gripe y resfriado son dos patologías de origen vírico que aumentan las consultas en farmacia comunitaria en los meses de frío.

Immune System Remodelling by Prenatal Betamethasone : Effects on β-Cells and Type 1 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a multifactorial disease of unknown aetiology. Studies focusing on environment-related prenatal changes, which might have an influence on the development of T1D, are still missing. Drugs, such as betamethasone, are used during this critical period without exploring possible effects later in life. Betamethasone can interact with the development and function of the two main players in T1D, the immune system and the pancreatic β-cells. Short-term or persistent changes in any of these two players may influence the initiation of the autoimmune reaction against β-cells. In this review, we focus on the ability of betamethasone to induce alterations in the immune system, impairing the recognition of autoantigens. At the same time, betamethasone affects β-cell gene expression and apoptosis rate, reducing the danger signals that will attract unwanted attention from the immune system. These effects may synergise to hinder the autoimmune attack. In this review, we compile scattered evidence to provide a better understanding of the basic relationship between betamethasone and T1D, laying the foundation for future studies on human cohorts that will help to fully grasp the role of betamethasone in the development of T1D

Pharaonic Egypt and the Ancient Near East in American cinema at the beginning of the Cold War (1945-1960)

Acabada la Segunda Guerra Mundial en 1945, Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética iniciaron un periodo de tensión y enfrentamientos conocido como la Guerra Fría, que duró hasta los años noventa. El cine estadounidense aprovechó para transmitir las ideologías y mensajes políticos que interesaban al poder en películas ambientadas en la Antigüedad como Sansón y Dalila, Los diez mandamientos o Salomón y la reina de Saba. En este artículo se realiza un análisis del patrimonio cinematográfico de esta época como vehículo transmisor de ideologías del momento que fueron trasladadas a las épocas más remotas de nuestro pasado.When World War II concluded in 1945 the United States and Soviet Union began a period of tension and confrontation known as the Cold War, which lasted until the 1990s. American cinema took advantage of this historical period to convey ideological messages dictated by the political elite through films set in the Antiquity, such as Samson and Delilah, The Ten Commandments and Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. This article aims to analyse the cinematographic heritage in order to understand its function as a vehicle for the transmission of contemporary ideologies to the historical periods in which those movies were set

Hyper-Cross-Linked Porous Polymer Featuring B−N Covalent Bonds (HCP-BNs): A Stable and Efficient Metal-Free Heterogeneous Photocatalyst

The first example of a porous polymer containing B-Ncovalentbonds, prepared from a tetraphene B-N monomer and biphenylas a comonomer, is reported. It was prepared using the solvent knittingstrategy, which allows the connection between the aromatic rings ofthe two monomers through methylene groups provided by an externalcross-linking agent. The new polymer exhibited micromeso porositywith an S (BET) of 612 m(2)/g, highthermal stability, and potential properties as a heterogeneous photocatalyst,since it is very active in the aza-Henry coupling reaction (>98%ofconversion and selectivity). After the first run, the catalyst improvesits photocatalytic activity, shortening the reaction time to only2 h and maintaining this activity in successive runs. The presenceof a radical in this structure that remains stable with successiveruns makes it a new type of material with potential applications asa highly stable and efficient photocatalyst.Ministerio de Ciencia e InnovaciónComunidad de Madri

Use, knowledge and assessment of the scientific digital social networks in the Galician universities

Scientific social networks (SSN) have been an important advance in the dissemination of knowledge in the scientific community. There are more and more researchers who agree on the need to join some SSN on account of the many advantages of visibility and impact they offer. This research paper studies the knowledge and use of SSN in the three Galician universities in 2017. Surveys of 552 professor/researchers from A Coruña, Santiago de Compostela and Vigo universities show that the knowledge and use of SSN have a growing trend, and that its management and usefulness assessment is positive, although their access frequency is still low
