“Tourism, water, and gender”—An international review of an unexplored nexus

This international literature review of the tourism–water nexus identifies a gender gap. Tourism development can affect water supply both quantitatively and qualitatively. Many regions will face considerable problems of water availability and quality, affecting their tourism sector and increasing competition with local residents, and other industries especially agriculture. This international review of literature explores the tourism–water nexus, comparing and contrasting literature published in English, Chinese, and Spanish. Securing access to safe water for continued tourism development is a common theme and the vast majority of work has focused on hotels including water pricing, water-saving practices and innovative management methods. In all continents, struggles are apparent, and the unsustainability of tourism is having impacts on water quantity and quality. This article identifies significant gaps in the literature including climate change, the energy-water nexus, and the links with the Sustainable Development Goals. Furthermore, studies from a gendered perspective are minimal and the potential for areas of further gendered studies within the tourism–water nexus are highlighted including intersectionality, water insecurity and sanitation, tourism and gender based violence, and additional unpaid care work

A Next-Generation Liquid Xenon Observatory for Dark Matter and Neutrino Physics

The nature of dark matter and properties of neutrinos are among the mostpressing issues in contemporary particle physics. The dual-phase xenontime-projection chamber is the leading technology to cover the availableparameter space for Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), whilefeaturing extensive sensitivity to many alternative dark matter candidates.These detectors can also study neutrinos through neutrinoless double-beta decayand through a variety of astrophysical sources. A next-generation xenon-baseddetector will therefore be a true multi-purpose observatory to significantlyadvance particle physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, solar physics, andcosmology. This review article presents the science cases for such a detector.<br

El programa de salud infantil,¿qué, quién, cuántas veces?

The well child program (WCP) is the frame for the preventive activities to be carried out in children. There is controversy onsome aspects of the WCP, in its contents as well as in its implementation. There are only a few preventive activities (some ofthem of intervention, other of screening and other of brief counseling) that have good or sufficient evidence to be performedin the general population, and other are effective only if implemented in population at risk.According to population’s features, professionals’ work overload, skills and preferences, the pediatric team should decide thevisits to be implemented by the nurse or by the pediatrician, or both.Concerning to the number of visits, the group PrevInfad proposes a total of 10 visits in children 0 to 14 years old, one antenatalvisit and one in adolescents 16 to 18 years old. The objective is to get the best efficiency by reducing the number of visits to theleast necessary to assure that the most effective activities are implemented, and coinciding with the immunization schedule. TheWCP contents and organization should be a flexible process that adapts to research updates and to social changes and needs.El programa de salud infantil (PSI) es el marco que encuadra las actividades preventivas a realizar en los niños. Existecontroversia sobre algunos aspectos del PSI, tanto en su contenido como en su implementación. De todas lasactividades preventivas (algunas de tipo intervención, otras de cribado y otras de consejo breve en la consulta), solohay unas cuantas en las que podemos decir que hay buena o suficiente evidencia sobre su aplicación a la poblacióngeneral y otras sí que son efectivas pero aplicadas solo a población de riesgo.De acuerdo con las características de población, sobrecarga asistencial, competencias y preferencias de losprofesionales, es cada equipo pediátrico el que debe distribuir qué visitas debe realizar cada uno y si conviene o noque alguna de ellas sea conjunta.Respecto al número de visitas el grupo PrevInfad, propone un total de 10 visitas entre los 0 y los 14 años, más unaprenatal y otra entre los 16 y los 18 años. El objetivo es conseguir la máxima eficiencia, reduciendo las visitas a lasmínimas necesarias para asegurar la realización de las actividades que han demostrado ser eficaces y que se hagancoincidir con los momentos en los que hace falta aplicar el calendario vacunal. El contenido y la organización del PSI debe ser un proceso flexible que le permita en cada momento adaptarse a los nuevos resultados en investigación ya los cambios y necesidades sociales

Manual de trabajo del Grupo PrevInfad [Group Prevlnfad workbook]

Desde su creación, el Grupo PrevInfad ha trabajado con los objetivos de formular y mantener actualizadas las recomendaciones sobre actividades preventivas a realizar en la población infantil y adolescente española y mejorar la práctica clínica y promover la salud pública en el ámbito de la Atención Primaria. Las recomendaciones de PrevInfad van dirigidas principalmente a los pediatras de Atención Primaria, personal de enfermería y otros profesionales de la salud. En este trabajo presentamos una versión resumida del manual de trabajo del Grupo PrevInfad, que se ha actualizado recientemente. Para mayor detalle recomendamos a las personas interesadas consultar la versión íntegra, que se encuentra en la página web del grupo. Los métodos descritos están destinados a garantizar que las recomendaciones de PrevInfad sean metodológicamente sólidas, científicamente defendibles, reproducibles y bien documentadas. The working group PrevInfad has faced since its beginning the objectives of formulating and updating recommendations on preventive activities for Spanish children and adolescents, improving clinical practice and promoting public health in Primary Care. Previnfad recommendations address mainly to Primary Care paediatricians, nurses and other health professionals. In this paper, we present a resumed version of PrevInfad procedure manual, recently updated. We recommend to consult the complete version available in PrevInfad web site.

Prevención de lesiones infantiles por accidente de tráfico

La prevención de los accidentes de tráfico es un tema de gran trascendencia social y un asunto de primera magnitud en salud pública. El grupo PrevInfad presenta en este documento la actualización de sus recomendaciones para la prevención de las lesiones por accidente de tráfico en niños y adolescentes, publicando en este caso un documento totalmente nuevo, que puede ser consultado en su versión íntegra en la página web del grupo (previnfad.aepap.org). La metodología incluye el diseño de un marco analítico, la formulación de preguntas estructuradas, la búsqueda y el análisis de la bibliografía. Dentro del apartado de accidentes de tráfico se van a considerar los ocasionados en vehículos a motor con el niño como pasajero o con el adolescente como conductor de ciclomotores u otros vehículos, los sufridos por peatones y las lesiones por caídas de bicicleta o por colisión de estas con vehículos a motor. También se incluye a los niños que se inician en la competición de ciclomotor. Es evidente que gran parte de las acciones preventivas corresponden a otros estamentos, si bien el pediatra tiene el deber de actuar como consejero y como grupo científico. Traffic accident prevention is an issue of social relevance and a very important public health matter. The working group PrevInfad presents in this document the update of its recommendations for traffic injury prevention in children and adolescents. The published document is brand new and can be consulted in full on the group’s website (previnfad.aepap.org). The methodology includes the design of an analytic framework, the formulation of structured questions, the search of the evidence and the analysis of the bibliography. Traffic accidents are considered those caused in motor vehicles with the child as a passenger or with the adolescent as a driver of motorcycles or other vehicles, the accidents suffered by pedestrians and the injuries by falls from bicycles or from collision of bicycles with motor vehicles. The document also includes children that initiate into motorcycle competition. Many of the preventive actions concern to other levels, nevertheless the pediatricians must act as advisers and as scientific group
