Living lab for digital literacy and active ageing. Systematic literature review of scientific production in the social sciences

[EN] The aim of this study is to know the state of the art of Living Labs in the field of Social Sciences. To this end, a Systematic Literature Review was carried out with the aim of answering the following research questions: a) what types of studies are carried out on Living Labs, b) what are the aims and objectives of the Living Lab analysed, c) what is its geographical context, d) the type of users it is aimed at and e) what are the characteristics shared by the different Living Labs analysed in the selected literature. After analysing the literature, the results show a predominance of both qualitative research and studies carried out in the European context, as well as heterogeneity in the objectives of the research analysed and coincidence in the characteristics of the Living Labs analysed. The conclusions point to the need to develop research on Living Labs in the field of Social Sciences and, specifically, from an educational perspective that promotes the technological inclusion of the elderly

Data fusion for driver behaviour analysis

A driver behaviour analysis tool is presented. The proposal offers a novel contribution based on low-cost hardware and advanced software capabilities based on data fusion. The device takes advantage of the information provided by the in-vehicle sensors using Controller Area Network Bus (CAN-BUS), an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and a GPS. By fusing this information, the system can infer the behaviour of the driver, providing aggressive behaviour detection. By means of accurate GPS-based localization, the system is able to add context information, such as digital map information, speed limits, etc. Several parameters and signals are taken into account, both in the temporal and frequency domains, to provide real time behaviour detection. The system was tested in urban, interurban and highways scenarios.This work was supported by the Spanish Government through the CICYT project (TRA2013-48314-C3-1-R) and DGT project (SPID2015-01802) and by the company SERCORE Tech. S.L. through the project: “Proyecto de Viabilidad de la Comunicación entre el BUS CAN de un Vehículo Específico con un Dispositivo de Adquisición de Datos Móviles”. SERCORE provided invaluable support in the development of the communication technologies through the CAN BUS, presented in this paper

A Novel Naphthoquinone-Coumarin Hybrid That Inhibits BCR-ABL1-STAT5 Oncogenic Pathway and Reduces Survival in Imatinib-Resistant Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia Cells

BCR-ABL1-STAT5 is an oncogenic signaling pathway in human chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and it represents a valid target for anti-CML drug design. Resistance to direct BCR-ABL1 inhibitors is a common clinical issue, so STAT5 inhibition has become an interesting alternative target. In this study, the effects of NPQ-C6, a novel naphtoquinone-coumarin conjugate, were evaluated on human CML-derived K562 cells. Live-Cell Imaging analysis revealed that NPQ-C6 inhibited 2D (IC50AUC = 1.4 ± 0.6 μM) growth of CML cells. NPQ-C6 increased sub-G1 and reduced G0/G1 cell cycle phases in a dose- and time-dependent manner. This effect on cell cycle was related to increased levels of apoptotic nuclei, cleavage of caspase-3, -9, and PARP and annexin V-positive cells. NPQ-C6 increased γH2AX, a double-strand DNA break marker. NPQ-C6 showed a wide range of modulatory effects on cell signaling through an early increased phosphorylation of JNK, P38-MAPK and AKT, and decreased phosphorylation of ERK1/2, BCR-ABL1, and STAT5. NPQ-C6 inhibited expression of c-MYC and PYM-1, two target gene products of BCR-ABL1/STAT5 signaling pathway. Cytokine-induced activation of STAT5/STAT3-dependent transcriptional and DNA binding activities were also inhibited by NPQ-C6. Notably, NPQ-C6 maintained its activity on BCR-ABL1/STAT5/c-MYC/PIM-1 oncogenic pathway in imatinib-resistant cells. Molecular modeling suggested BCR-ABL1 and JAK2 proteins as NPQ-C6 targets. In summary, our data show a novel multikinase modulator that might be therapeutically effective in BCR-ABL1-STAT5-related malignancies

Spain was one of the European countries with the highest incidence during the first wave. As a part of a consortium to monitor and study the evolution of the epidemic, we sequenced 2,170 samples, diagnosed mostly before lockdown measures. Here, we identified at least 500 introductions from multiple international sources and documented the early rise of two dominant Spanish epidemic clades (SECs), probably amplified by superspreading events. Both SECs were related closely to the initial Asian variants of SARS-CoV-2 and spread widely across Spain. We inferred a substantial reduction in the effective reproductive number of both SECs due to public-health interventions (Re < 1), also reflected in the replacement of SECs by a new variant over the summer of 2020. In summary, we reveal a notable difference in the initial genetic makeup of SARS-CoV-2 in Spain compared with other European countries and show evidence to support the effectiveness of lockdown measures in controlling virus spread, even for the most successful genetic variants.This work was mainly funded by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III project COV20/00140, with additional funding by Spanish National Research Council project CSIC-COV19-021, Ministerio de Ciencia project PID2019-104477RB-100, ERC StG 638553 and ERC CoG 101001038 to I.C., and BFU2017-89594R to F.G.C.

Performance of 'Clausellina' mandarin on four rootstocks

This study, carried out in Almeria (Spain), evaluates the performance of &#39;Clausellina&#39; mandarin on four rootstocks: Carrizo citrange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb. x Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raft C. volkameriana Ten. and Pasq.; and, the two new hybrids &#39;C-13&#39; (C. depressa Hay. x P trifoliata) obtained at the University of California Citrus Research Center and &#39;020326&#39; [Troyer citrange (C. sinensis x P trifoliata) x Cleopatra mandarin] obtained at the Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Agrarias in Valencia (Spain). Soil was sandy, with pH&gt;8 and electric conductivity below 4.5 mmhos cm(-1) in the saturation extract. Yield was weighed during the first nine harvests, fruit quality was determined in the 5(th) and 9(th) harvests and tree size was evaluated annually from 3 to 11 years after planting. Trees on C. volkameriana rootstock were biggest and produced the highest yield, followed by trees on Carrizo citrange. Trees on the C-13 hybrid selection were most efficient in yield m(-3) of canopy volume. There were few differences between rootstocks in terms of fruit quality

Effects of citrus rootstocks on growth, yield and fruit quality of Navelate orange

The aim was to study the performance of Navelate sweet orange on five rootstocks: Carrizo citrange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb. x Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.]; Cleopatra mandarin (C. reshni Hort. ex Tan.); C. volkameriana Ten. &amp; Pasq. and two new hybrids C-13 (C. depressa Hay. x P trifoliata) developed at the University of California Citrus Research Center and 020326 [Troyer citrange (C. sinensis x P trifoliata) x Cleopatra mandarin] developed at the Instituto Valenciano de Investigaciones Agrarias in Valencia, Spain. The investigation was conducted in Almeria, Spain. The soil was sandy, with pH&gt;8 and electric conductivity in the saturation extract below 4.5 mmhos cm(-1). The design was a complete-block with randomised single-tree plots and eight replications. Tree spacing was 4.5 m x 4 m. Yield was recorded during the first nine harvests, fruit quality was determined for the 50(th), 6(th) and 9(th) harvests and tree size was evaluated 11 years after planting. Trees on C. volkameriana rootstock produced the highest yield and largest fruits. Trees on the C-13 hybrid selection were the most yield-efficient on a canopy volume basis, and had fruit with the highest soluble solid content, but there were few differences between rootstocks for the latter parameter. Cleopatra mandarin and 020326 induced the lowest individual fruit weight and diameter

Prevalencia de hogares libres de humo y exposición pasiva al tabaco en población pediátrica (niños de 3 a 36 meses)

Introduction: Pediatric population is the most vulnerable to secondhand smoke (SHS), exposure being households the main source of exposure in children. The objective of this study is to describe smoke-free households and the prevalence of SHS in the pediatric population (from 3 to 36 months) in Spain. Methods: Cross-sectional study with 1,368 parents, mothers or guardians with children from 3 to 36 months carried out in Spain from March to November of 2017 through an online questionnaire as part of the EPISON study. Information was collected on the voluntary adoption of tobacco use regulations at home and SHS exposure at home and other environments. We calculated prevalences and Odds Ratio adjusted (ORa) for sex, age, level of education, and smoking status. Results: 87.6% of respondents claimed to have a smoke-free home. 12.4% of respondents had partial regulation or did not have regulation at home, increasing up to 26.0% when the parent was a smoker or to 21.8% when the parent had primary or lower education. 5.4% of parents reported SHS exposure in their children at their homes, rising to 14.5% when it occurs in other environments, increasing with statistically significant differences between smoking parents and parents with lower educational level. Conclusion: The smoke-free homes are the majority; but SHS exposure to tobacco at home persists in children under 3 years of age, especially in families with a lower educational level. Therefore, awareness-raising campaigns on the effects of passive exposure on minors among families with a lower socioeconomic status should be encouraged.Fundamentos: La población pediátrica es la más vulnerable a la exposición pasiva al humo ambiental del tabaco (HAT), siendo los hogares la fuente principal de exposición en niños. El objetivo de este estudio fue describir los hogares libres de humo y la prevalencia de exposición pasiva al HAT en la población pediátrica (de 3 a 36 meses) en España. Métodos: Estudio transversal con 1.368 padres, madres o tutores con hijos de 3 a 36 meses realizado en España de marzo a noviembre de 2017 mediante cuestionario online como parte del estudio EPISON. Se recogió información sobre la adopción voluntaria de normas de consumo de tabaco en el hogar y exposición al HAT en casa y otros ambientes. Se calcularon las prevalencias y las Odds Ratio ajustadas (ORa) por sexo, edad, nivel educativo y consumo de tabaco. Resultados: El 87,6% de los encuestados afirmó tener un hogar libre de humo. El 12,4% de los encuestados tenían regulación parcial o no tenían ninguna regulación en el hogar, incrementándose hasta el 26% cuando el progenitor era fumador o al 21,8% cuando tenía estudios primarios o inferiores. El 5,4% de los padres refirió exposición pasiva al tabaco en niños en sus hogares, elevándose hasta el 14,5% cuando la exposición se produjo en otros ambientes, incrementándose de forma estadísticamente significativa la diferencia entre los padres fumadores y con menor nivel educativo. Conclusión: Los hogares libres de humo son mayoritarios, pero persiste la exposición pasiva al tabaco en el hogar con niños menores de 3 años, especialmente en familias con menor nivel educativo. Por ello, se deberían incentivar campañas de sensibilización sobre los efectos de la exposición pasiva en menores, especialmente en familias con menos recursos

Caracterización hidrogeológica y propuesta de protección de manantiales y áreas ganadoras en cauces (LIH) en las demarcaciones hidrográficas del Guadalete y Barbate, y del Tinto, Odiel y Piedras.

Simposio de Hidrogeología (10º. 2013. Granada)Como parte de la estrategia de conservación de los ecosistemas acuáticos relacionados con las masas de agua subterránea en Andalucía se presenta la caracterización hidrogeológica y la propuesta de protección de manantiales o sectores que engloban manantiales y áreas ganadoras en cauces, considerados como Lugares de Interés Hidrogeológico (LIH), en las Demarcaciones Hidrográficas (DDHH) del Guadalete y Barbate, y del Tinto, Odiel y Piedras. Se ha realizado una catalogación inicial de 27 manantiales o sectores emplazados en las provincias de Cádiz y Huelva, para los que se ha realizado una aproximación de su conocimiento hidrogeológico y estado de conservación, elaborándose una base de datos que contiene sus principales características. A partir de esta primera catalogación se han seleccionado 11 sectores en los que se ha realizado un análisis más detallado. El objetivo de este trabajo ha sido el de establecer propuestas para la conservación de un determinado número de manantiales y áreas ganadoras, situadas en cauces de cabecera localizados en la DDHH anteriores (IGME-Junta de Andalucía, 2011). La Fuente de la Peña de Arias Montano se incluye como ejemplo del trabajo realizado para cada uno de los 11 sectores seleccionados.Instituto Geológico y Minero de España, EspañaJunta de Andalucí

Apoyo a la regulación de fumar en el interior de vehículos privados y espacios públicos al aire libre

Fundamentos: Conocer el apoyo a la regulación del consumo de tabaco es una pieza clave para avanzar en las políticas de control del tabaquismo y reducir la exposición pasiva al tabaco. El objetivo de este trabajo fue describir las actitudes hacia la prohibición de fumar en los vehículos privados y espacios públicos al aire libre. Métodos: Estudio transversal de una muestra representativa (n=736) de la población adulta (mayor de 24 años) de la ciudad de Barcelona, España, realizado en 2013-2014. Se calcularon el porcentaje de individuos que tenían una actitud favorable a la regulación del consumo de tabaco en el interior de vehículos privados y espacios públicos al aire libre, las Odds Ratio ajustadas (ORa) y sus intervalos de confianza al 95% (IC95%) según sexo, edad, nivel de estudios y estatus de consumo de tabaco mediante un modelo de regresión logística. Se utilizaron pesos de probabilidad inversa para mantener la representatividad de la población de Barcelona en 2013-2014. Resultados: El 61,7% de los participantes estuvo a favor de la prohibición de fumar dentro de los vehículos privados y el 89,5% de prohibirlo sólo en presencia de menores. El apoyo a la regulación del consumo de tabaco en espacios exteriores varió entre 42,5% hasta 84,7% dependiendo del ambiente. Los fumadores mostraron una actitud menos favorable a la ampliación de la regulación a otros espacios: zonas exteriores de los centros universitarios, zonas exteriores de los centros comerciales y playas y piscinas descubiertas. Conclusiones: Existe un amplio apoyo a la extensión de la regulación del consumo del tabaco en el interior de vehículos privados, especialmente en presencia de menores, y espacios públicos al aire libre. Este amplio apoyo podría favorecer la ampliación de la regulación del consumo de tabaco a estos espacios a fin de mejorar la salud de la población y al mismo tiempo contribuir a la desnormalización del consumo de tabaco entre la poblaciónBackground: To know the support of tobacco regulation is a very important issue to advance in the tobacco control policies and reduce the passive exposure to tobacco. The aim of this study was to describe the attitudes towards forbidding smoking in private vehicles and public outdoor spaces. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of a representative sample (n=736) of the adult population (24+ years old) from Barcelona, Spain in 2013-2014. We calculated the percentages of individuals who had a favourable attitude towards smoking regulation in private vehicles and public outdoor spaces, their adjusted Odds ratios (aOR) and their 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) according to sex, age, educational level and smoking status through logistic regression. We used weighted data for all analyses in order to keep the representativeness of the population of Barcelona in 2013-2014. Results: 61.7% of participants supported forbidding smoking in private vehicles and 89.5% supported forbidding it only in the presence of minors. The support to smoking regulation in public outdoor spaces varied from 42.5% to 84.7% in different settings. Smokers showed a less favourable attitude towards an extension of the smoking regulation to other settings: outdoor areas of university centres, outdoor areas of shopping centres and beaches and outdoor pools. Conclusions: A wide support exists to extend the smoking regulation to private vehicles, especially in the presence of children, and public outdoor spaces. This wide support could favour the extension of smoking regulation to these places to improve the population’s health and to contribute to denormalise tobacco use among the population
