Aplicación de SIG en la caracterización de las aguas de dos acuíferos de las comarcas de la Marina Alta-Safor

Los softwares de sistemas de información geográfica (SIG) están adquiriendo gran importancia en la realización de estudios relacionados con las ciencias ambientales dado el potencial que tienen a la hora de trabajar y la cantidad de información que se tiene. Dada la problemática de las aguas subterráneas del litoral valenciano de las ultimas décadas, afectadas por la intrusión marina y la contaminación, principalmente por nitratos, se aplicaran las herramientas disponibles en los SIG para la determinación de la calidad de las aguas. Se obtendrá, mediante interpolación, la distribución de estos elementos en las aguas subterráneas, para la detección de las zonas más vulnerables y las mas afectadas. Visualizaremos la evolución de estos elementos a lo largo del tiempo y intentaremos dar con los causantes de estas y buscar posibles soluciones.Geographic information systems (GIS) software are becoming increasingly important in the realization of studies related to the environmental sciences, given the potential they have in working and the amount of information they have. Given the problems of groundwater in the Valencian coast of the last decades, affected by marine intrusion and pollution, mainly by nitrates, the tools available in GIS will be applied to determine the quality of the waters. The distribution of these elements in groundwater will be achieved through interpolation to detect the most vulnerable and most affected areas. We will look at the evolution of these elements over time and try to find the causes of these and find possible solutions.Hernandez Garcia, MA. (2017).

Impact of migration on the occurrence of new cases of Chagas disease in Buenos Aires city, Argentina

Chagas disease, also known as American Trypanosomiasis, is endemic in the Americas, especially Central and South America. Chagas disease is a zoonotic disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi. Most of the infections take place in children by vector or congenital transmission, with other modes of infection such as blood transfusion, organ transplants, and oral route being less frequent. In areas under vectorial control, congenital transmission is the most common way of accruing the diseaseFil: Moscatelli, Guillermo. Gobierno de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires.

Competitividad del comercio exterior de la porcicultura mexicana en el Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte

El concepto de competitividad utilizado en este trabajo, se define desde el punto de vista del desempeño en el comercio internacional, y se expresa como la capacidad de un país, de una industria, de un segmento o de una cadena productiva para conquistar, mantener o incrementar su participación en los mercados nacionales e internacionales. La competitividad comercial porcícola de los países que conformaron el tlcan en el periodo 1990-2004, se midió con los indicadores siguientes: la participación en los mercados internacionales (pmi), el coeficiente de la ventaja comparativa revelada (vcr), tasa de penetración de las importaciones (tpi) y la exposición a la competencia internacional (eci). Para México, la pmi y la vcr crecieron de 0.02 a 0.8% y de 0.2 a 1.9%, debido al incremento de las exportaciones, lo que significó aumento de competitividad; en contraste los incrementos en la tpi y la eci al pasar de 5.8 a 42.6% y de 5.8 a 41.2%, reflejaron la alta dependencia de México a las importaciones porcícolas, principalmente de los Estados Unidos. Los indicadores para los Estados Unidos y Canadá mostraron un mejor desempeñoEl concepto de competitividad utilizado en este trabajo, se deÀne desde el punto de vista del desempeño en el comercio internacional, y se expresa como la capacidad de un país, de una industria, de un segmento o de una cadena productiva para conquistar, mantener o incrementar su participación en los mercados nacionales e internacionales.

Improving the use of remote laboratories. The case of VISIR at Universidad Nacional de Rosario

The present work originates in the Project "Educational Modules for Electric and Electronic Circuits Theory and Practice following an Inquiry-based Teaching and Learning Methodology supported by VISIR", carried out with the support of the Erasmus+ Programme. Remote labs can provide a framework where physical experiments can be developed for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education. Although remote labs have been in use for over a decade now in several countries and levels of education, their use is not yet being generalized in Latin America. Through the VISIR+ International Cooperation Project from the Erasmus+ Programme, five higher education institutions from Latin America have incorporated de VISIR remote lab in order to carry out experiments with electric and electronic circuits. In the present work, the results of the study developed at Universidad Nacional de Rosario within the framework of the aforementioned project are shown.This work was carried out with the economic support of the European Commission through Project 561735-EPP-12015-1-PTEPPKA2-CBHE-JP and by Universidad Nacional de Rosario, through Project PID 1ING505.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Developing models for future real-time platforms: Virtual simulation and design of new components and systems for aircraft and remotely piloted aircraft systems

In the development of electrified and other vehicle systems, the modelling and simulation of the vehicle is very important. With these tools the preliminary design, as well as later detailed studies of the systems developed, allow engineers to spend less time on each phase of their projects or address them with an integrated approach. In addition, this integrated approach provides the possibility of building hardware-in-the loop models with all the components required. This vehicle modelling and simulation has gained more interest with the increasing use of a wide variety of RPAS, ranging from light weight micro aircraft to large vehicles of various tons. For this reason, the previously-described building tools are the final objective of the developing models to be used in real-time platform projects. The first step presented in this paper is to build a simulator that reproduces the behaviour of a selected aircraft and validate it. This paper presents the study of the performances and behaviour of an OPV used to validate the simulator developed later. At the end, some preliminary tests and estimations of the performances for the selected OPV with an electric motor are presented

Influence of the Human Development Index on the Maternal–Perinatal Morbidity and Mortality of Pregnant Women with SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Importance for Personalized Medical Care

This study (FIS-PI18/00912) was supported by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Plan Estatal de I + D + i 2013–2016) and cofinanced by the European Development Regional Fund ‘‘A way to achieve Europe’’ (ERDF) and B2017/BMD-3804 MITIC-CM.Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is perhaps the most worrisome pandemic in the 21st century, having entailed devastating consequences for the whole society during the last year. Different studies have displayed an existing association between pregnancy and COVID-19 severity due to the various physiological changes that occur during gestation. Recent data identified maternal country of origin as an important determinant of COVID-19 presentation in pregnant women. However, the explanation of this fact remains to be fully elucidated. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to analyze the possible relationship between Human Development Index (HDI) of maternal country of origin with the morbimortality of pregnant women and their newborns. Here, we conducted a multicentric, ambispective, observational case-control study (1:1 ratio) and compare with the HDI of each country (group 1—very high HDI, group 2—high HDI, group 3—medium HDI, and group 4—low HDI). In total, 1347 pregnant women with confirmed SARV-CoV-2 infection (cases) were enrolled, and each was paired with one control to give a total number of 2694 participants from 81 tertiary care centers. Among the women with SARS-CoV-2 infection, more cases were produced of perinatal mortality, overall maternal morbidity, COVID-19 maternal morbidity, C-sections, hypertensive maternal morbidity, and perinatal morbidity. Our results described an inverse association between HDI and maternofetal morbidity and mortality. Moreover, the countries with an HDI lower than 1 showed higher rates of patients with maternal COVID-19-related morbidity (6.0% vs. 2.4%, p < 0.001), a need for oxygen therapy (4.7% vs. 1.8%, p < 0.001), and maternal ICU admission (2.6% vs. 1.0%, p = 0.007). Compared to other risk factors such as overweight, obesity, preexisting and obstetric comorbidities, HDI emerged as an independent risk factor explaining much of the increased maternal–perinatal morbidity and mortality detected in our group of cases. Further research is needed to establish to confirm the real impact of this factor and its components on pregnancy outcomes.Depto. de Salud Pública y Materno - InfantilFac. de MedicinaTRUEUnión EuropeaComunidad de MadridInstituto de Salud Carlos IIIpu
