    The objective of this research is to analyze the influence of the internal logic modification in the emotions perceived by the students during the body expression lessons in secondary education. 80 students (age: 13.01±0.98 years, sex: boys n=49, girls n=31, school year: 1stESOn=28, 2ndESO n=30, 3rdESO n=22) participated voluntarily in this study. Two sessions, separated by 7-days, with five activities each one was performed. In each session, the internal logic of activities was modified. The Sports Games and Emotions Scale(GES) was used to analyze the perceived emotions. A modification in the internal logic directly influences the negative emotions, but the values of positive emotions are maintained. The practice satisfaction is related to the joy emotion and inversely related to the shame emotion. In conclusion, it is important to analysis and to work the emotions perceived by the students with the objective of increase their enjoyment and satisfaction.El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la influencia de la modificación de la lógica interna en las emociones percibidas durante las actividades de expresión corporal en alumnos de educación secundaria. 80 alumnos (edad: 13.01±0.98 años; sexo: chicos n=49, chicas n=31; curso escolar: 1ºESO n=28, 2ºESO n=30, 3ºESO n=22) participaron voluntariamente en este estudio. Se realizaron dos sesiones compuestas por cinco actividades, separadas por una semana, donde se modificó la lógica interna entre sesiones.

    In Cuba, ciguatera poisoning associated with fish consumption is the most commonly occurring non-bacterial seafood-borne illness. Risk management through fish market regulation has existed in Cuba for decades and consists of bans on selected species above a certain weight; however, the actual occurrence of ciguatoxins (CTXs) in seafood has never been verified. From this food safety risk management perspective, a study site locally known to be at risk for ciguatera was selected. Analysis of the epiphytic dinoflagellate community identified the microalga Gambierdiscus. Gambierdiscus species included six of the seven species known to be present in Cuba (G. caribaeus, G. belizeanus, G. carpenteri, G. carolinianus, G. silvae, and F. ruetzleri). CTX-like activity in invertebrates, herbivorous and carnivorous fishes were analyzed with a radioligand receptor-binding assay and, for selected samples, with the N2A cell cytotoxicity assay. CTX activity was found in 80% of the organisms sampled, with toxin values ranging from 2 to 8 ng CTX3C equivalents g−1 tissue. Data analysis further confirmed CTXs trophic magnification. This study constitutes the first finding of CTX-like activity in marine organisms in Cuba and in herbivorous fish in the Caribbean. Elucidating the structure–activity relationship and toxicology of CTX from the Caribbean is needed before conclusions may be drawn about risk exposure in Cuba and the wider Caribbean.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

    Background: Mortality due to COVID-19 is high, especially in patients requiring mechanical ventilation. The purpose of the study is to investigate associations between mortality and variables measured during the first three days of mechanical ventilation in patients with COVID-19 intubated at ICU admission. Methods: Multicenter, observational, cohort study includes consecutive patients with COVID-19 admitted to 44 Spanish ICUs between February 25 and July 31, 2020, who required intubation at ICU admission and mechanical ventilation for more than three days. We collected demographic and clinical data prior to admission; information about clinical evolution at days 1 and 3 of mechanical ventilation; and outcomes. Results: Of the 2,095 patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU, 1,118 (53.3%) were intubated at day 1 and remained under mechanical ventilation at day three. From days 1 to 3, PaO2/FiO2 increased from 115.6 [80.0-171.2] to 180.0 [135.4-227.9] mmHg and the ventilatory ratio from 1.73 [1.33-2.25] to 1.96 [1.61-2.40]. In-hospital mortality was 38.7%. A higher increase between ICU admission and day 3 in the ventilatory ratio (OR 1.04 [CI 1.01-1.07], p = 0.030) and creatinine levels (OR 1.05 [CI 1.01-1.09], p = 0.005) and a lower increase in platelet counts (OR 0.96 [CI 0.93-1.00], p = 0.037) were independently associated with a higher risk of death. No association between mortality and the PaO2/FiO2 variation was observed (OR 0.99 [CI 0.95 to 1.02], p = 0.47). Conclusions: Higher ventilatory ratio and its increase at day 3 is associated with mortality in patients with COVID-19 receiving mechanical ventilation at ICU admission. No association was found in the PaO2/FiO2 variation

    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

    Composition and cover of dominant woody species in plant communities across the Andalusian Red Natura 2000 (Directiva Habitats 92/43/CEE)

    [Description of methods used for collection/generation of data] The composition and cover of dominant woody species (shrubs and trees), with the capacity to act as nurse plants, was characterized in plant communities across the Andalusian Red Natura 2000 (Directiva Habitats 92/43/CEE). The composition and cover (m^2 and %) of woody species in each plant community were sampled throughout two main methodologies: 1) plot-based, composition and cover at the understory layer was estimated in 1 plot [50 x 50 m] and 2500 m^2 of total sampled area; 2) transect-based, composition and cover in the canopy and understory layers, together with dead and overlapping individuals, was estimated in 20 transects [10 x 50 m], representing 100 squares [10 x 10 m] and a total sampled area of 10000 m^2. Complete descriptions of the methodological procedures can be found in Alcántara et al. (2019) and Verdú et al. (2022). The plots/transects were randomly distributed, trying to cover the largest possible area within each locality to avoid sampling bias.

    [Description of methods used for collection/generation of data] Woody plant communities included in the Directive Habitats 92/43/CEE were sampled across the Andalusian Red Natura 2000. We focused mainly on shrub and tree species with the capacity to act as nurse plants. Each plant community was sampled throughout plots (16, 25 x 25 m) or transects (20, 10 x 50 m); each transect was divided into 5 [10 x 10 m] squares (100 squares per plant community). In total the sampled area per plant community was 10000 m^2. Complete descriptions of the methodological procedures can be found in Alcántara et al. (2019) and Verdú et al. (2022). In each square, the list of canopy plant species, with the capacity to act as nurses, and the number of recruiting plant species within it was recorded. The squares were randomly distributed, trying to cover the largest possible area within each locality to avoid sampling bias.
