Nuevas metodologías cromatográficas para el análisis de compuestos de interés medioambiental y agroalimentario: desarrollos en cromatografía líquida capilar, quiral y bidimensional

El trabajo presentado en esta tesis doctoral tiene entre sus objetivos la puesta a punto de nuevas metodologías para la determinación quiral de herbicidas ariloxifenoxipropiónicos y aminoácidos en matrices de interés medioambiental y agroalimentario, con el fin de evaluar su incidencia en el medioambiente y en la salud humana

Espacio virtual «Delegación de alumnos»: adecuación a las nuevas plataformas y desarrollo de herramientas de sondeo entre los alumnos

Esta comunicación refleja el continuo trabajo que lleva realizando la Delegación de Alumnos de la Facultad de Ciencias Químicas en Campus Virtual. Aprovechando las múltiples posibilidades que ofrecen los espacios virtuales y gracias a la constante relación de esta Delegación con el Decanato de la Facultad, desde finales de 2007, se puso en funcionamiento el espacio «Delegación de Alumnos», una sección diseñada, gestionada y mantenida por los representantes de alumnos de Junta de Facultad, a través de la Delegación de Alumnos, que pone a disposición de todos los alumnos matriculados en esta Facultad numerosas posibilidades, creando así un canal de comunicación rápido y efectivo, que, a día de hoy, trata de adaptarse a la nueva plataforma virtual Moodle, proceso que puede servir de referente para la UATD-CV en la progresiva implantación de estas nuevas plataformas

A study of anthropometric, biochemical and nutritional parameters in adolescents in the area of Toledo, Spain.

Background. An incrementation of risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the younger population has been reported in Spain. Adolescents have changed their dietary habits and increased the risk of metabolic syndrome (MS). The Longitudinal study in the area of Toledo aims to evaluate food intake and nutritional habits and their relationship with early development of CVD and insulin resistance/sensitivity biomarkers.Methods. A cross-sectional study was performed on 53 adolescents aged 16-17 years belonging to the Area of Toledo. Energy, macronutrient and micronutrient intakes and diet quality were assessed, as well as the prevalence to being overweight, the presence of CVD risk factors and parameters related to glucose homeostasis to identify candidates for MS.Results. Adolescents consumed monotonous diets, with low Mediterranean diet Adherence (MDA) and Health Eating Index (HEI) scores and with elevated energy contribution of saturated fatty acids and low carbohydrates. Being overweight but not obese was moderately prevalent in volunteers. However, a low percentage of them showed dyslipemia or insulin resistance. No significant differences between male and female adolescents were found for any dietary parameter tested. HEI and MDA scores appear inversely related to insulin resistance markers in boys and to fat mass in girls, respectively.Conclusions. The high similitude of diet in both male and female subjects suggests a general adherence to potentially negative dietary habits in this population. Paradoxically, dietary components and altered lipoprotein factors were not related. The prevalence to being overweight, the association between diet quality and MS-markers found demands a follow-up study to ascertain the importance of present results later in life
