De todos los objetos... Estudio etnográfico sobre la decoración doméstica de un domicilio de estudiantes erasmus en Barcelona.
Màster Oficial en Antropologia i Etnografia, Departament d'Antropologia, Facultat Geografia i Història, Universitat de Barcelona, Curs: 2014-2015, Director: Manuel Delgado RuizEsta extraña relación ente objetos y sujetos, que muchas veces pasa desapercibida, ha despertado mi interés y me ha llevado a desarrollar esta investigación en que “las cosas” se han convertido en las mediadoras entre mi profesión, el diseño y mi inquietud, la antropología, llevándome por el camino de la antropología del diseño. Según Martín Juez, (2002:67) “La antropología del diseño tiene como finalidad explorar lo que vincula al humano –el tema central de la antropología– con el objeto –la tarea medular del diseño–; aquello que guía la creación de las cosas, sus usos y el lugar que guardan en la memoria de la comunidad.” Por lo tanto, el diseño, entendido no solo como una disciplina estética sino como un marco que propicia, provoca y atiende las relaciones sociales, se ha convertido, en esta investigación, en un complemento imprescindible tanto en el plano teórico como en el terreno
ODD
Odd és un projecte editorial periòdic de contingut secret i gregari. El factor diferencial de les seves publicacions és que la gestió i la realització d’aquestes passen per un col·lectiu anònim i canviant a cada número, el qual s’ocupa de proporcionar continguts que formen un conjunt variat i caòtic; això permet al lector fer associacions d’idees i conceptes a les quals no podria arribar a partir d’una exposició clara i linial. Aquest treball es centra en la realització i autogestió de 3 publicacions monogràfiques, així com de la producció de 30 exemplars de cada una d’aquestes.Odd es un proyecto editorial periódico de contenido secreto y gregario.

The differentiator of its publications is that their management and conduct both go through an anonymous group that changes on every edition and which provides contents that are joined to form a diverse and chaotic set; this allows the reader to associate ideas and concepts in a way that a clear and linear exposition would never make possible. This work focuses on the self-management and conduct of 3 monographic editions, as well as the production of 30 copies of every one of them
The Role of Perfectionism and Parental Expectations in the School Stress and Health Complaints of Secondary School Students
Increases in school stress among adolescents are a growing concern. Although perfectionism and parental expectations have an important role in school stress, their joint influence has not been evaluated nor have analyses taken a multidimensional perspective of school stress into consideration. The aims of this study were to analyze the role of self-oriented perfectionism and parental expectations in school stress, and to explore their potential moderation effect in the associations between school stress and health complaints in adolescence. Sample consisted of 4,768 secondary-school students (52.1% girls; M = 13.74) aged 11 to 17 years (M = 13.74) from 54 high schools in Andalusia (Spain), and school stress was measured using ASQ-S questionnaire. Results show that high self-oriented perfectionism and parental expectations were significantly associated with higher levels of school stress. In addition, the three variables school stress, self-oriented perfectionism and parental expectations were significantly associated with health complaints, and self-oriented perfectionism moderated the relationship between stress of school-leisure conflict and health complaints. These findings should be taken into consideration for future research and the development of interventions aimed at reducing school stress among adolescent students
Long-term effects of intermittent adolescent alcohol exposure in male and female rats
Alcohol is a serious public health concern that has a differential impact on individuals depending upon age and sex. Patterns of alcohol consumption have recently changed: heavy episodic drinking—known as binge-drinking—has become most popular among the youth. Herein, we aimed to investigate the consequences of intermittent adolescent alcohol consumption in male and female animals. Thus, Wistar rats were given free access to ethanol (20% in drinking water) or tap water for 2-h sessions during 3 days, and for an additional 4-h session on the 4th day; every week during adolescence, from postnatal day (pnd) 28–52. During this period, animals consumed a moderate amount of alcohol despite blood ethanol concentration (BEC) did not achieve binge-drinking levels. No withdrawal signs were observed: no changes were observed regarding anxiety-like responses in the elevated plus-maze or plasma corticosterone levels (pnd 53–54). In the novel object recognition (NOR) test (pnd 63), a significant deficit in recognition memory was observed in both male and female rats. Western Blot analyses resulted in an increase in the expression of synaptophysin in the frontal cortex (FC) of male and female animals, together with a decrease in the expression of the CB2R in the same brain region. In addition, adolescent alcohol induced, exclusively among females, a decrease in several markers of dopaminergic and serotonergic neurotransmission, in which epigenetic mechanisms, i.e., histone acetylation, might be involved. Taken together, further research is still needed to specifically correlate sex-specific brain and behavioral consequences of adolescent alcohol exposure
Physicians' knowledge of syncope in adults and its care in the emergency department
IIntroducción: el síncope constituye una entidad común en los servicios de urgencias.Objetivo: evaluar en médicos de un hospital general, el conocimiento sobre el síncope y su manejo en urgencias.Métodos: se realizó una investigación cualitativa, de tipo evaluativo; mediante la aplicación de un cuestionario académico prediseñado, sobre aspectos claves de la atención del síncope en urgencias, a médicos de especialidades clínicas relacionadas con la atención de urgencias, del hospital general docente Abel Santamaría; provincia Pinar del Río, en abril del 2022. Los encuestados, fueron escogidos al azar, de forma voluntaria y anónimo.Resultados: se aplicó el cuestionario a 35 médicos. Se requirieron menos de cinco minutos para responder el cuestionario completo. Según los aspectos evaluados; el 40 % de los encuestados no seleccionó la respuesta correcta relacionada con la definición y causas de síncope; sobre la evaluación inicial y atención multidisciplinaria, los aciertos alcanzaron el 74 % y 71 % respectivamente. En relación al diagnóstico y estratificación de riesgo, los desaciertos fueron del 80 %. La aplicación del coeficiente KR20 clasificó como muy buena la consistencia interna del instrumento evaluativo empleado.Conclusiones: se evaluó el nivel de conocimiento de los médicos sobre síncope y su manejo en urgencias. Existe déficit del conocimiento en los aspectos evaluados.

Barriers and applied activity, quality of life and self‑efficacy in prostate cancer survivors 1 year after completing radiotherapy
Purpose The aims of the study were to assess self-reported physical activity (PA) levels, barriers to PA, quality of life and
self-efficacy to manage chronic disease of prostate cancer survivor 1 year after radiotherapy treatment.
Methods A cross-sectional case–control study was performed. Prostate cancer survivor patients treated with radiotherapy
were recruited from the Radiation Oncology Service of the “Complejo Hospitalario Universitario” (Granada) and compared
with age-matched healthy men. Outcomes included were perception of benefits for physical activity and potential barriers
(Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale), physical activity levels assessed by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire
(IPAQ), quality of life (EuroQol five-dimension three-levels) and self-efficacy (Self-Efficacy to Manage Chronic Disease).
Results A total of 120 patients were included in our study. Significant differences were found between groups with worse
results for the prostate cancer patient group in the variable perception of the benefit of physical activity, potential barriers,
and physical activity. Regarding quality of life and self-efficacy, significant differences were also observed between groups
with a greater score in the control group.
Conclusion In conclusion, the results of this study reveal that self-reported PA levels, as measured using the IPAQ, were
low in prostate cancer survivors after treatment. Results also showed worse perception of benefits for PA and potential barriers
by the cancer survivors. Similarly, the quality of life and self-efficacy to manage chronic disease of prostate cancer
survivors was lower.Universidad de Granada/

Lucha a muerte por un click. La adaptación de los contenidos informativos a las necesidades de financiación en prensa digital
La implantación de la prensa digital ha revolucionado la manera de entender
y enfocar los contenidos periodísticos en función del modelo de negocio
de este nuevo soporte.
Por un lado parece que Internet facilita el acceso a la información y la capacidad
de generar nuevas empresas o nuevas plataformas de información.
Sin embargo, la dependencia de los ingresos económicos y la lógica de la
rentabilidad económica obligan a modificar los criterios de prioridad en la
agenda mediática. La definición de qué es noticia o qué no lo es pasa por la
urgencia de captar lectores o por lo menos visitas a la web. Asimismo, algunas
nociones básicas en el periodismo, como los titulares, están sufriendo
serias modificaciones para adaptarse a las nuevas formas de negocio de la
prensa digital.
La precisión en los sistemas de medición de visitas a través de las distintas
herramientas digitales puede suponer un valor en activo y un área de oportunidad
para la publicación. Sin embargo, puede ser también un arma de
doble filo que represente al final una tiranía y convierta los contenidos periodísticos
en una lucha por la cantidad, dejando de lado la calidad. Se recurre,
a menudo, a un periodismo de no-acontecimiento sólo por mantener
un número de noticias al día sin relación directa con la relevancia real de lo
noticiable.
A partir de datos estadísticos de los diarios digitales mejor posicionados en
el panorama español y las páginas más visitadas, establecemos un análisis
de la cuestión, haremos un diagnóstico y una perspectiva con el fin de seguir
contribuyendo a los estudios del periodismo, conscientes del valor que tiene
para salvaguardar la libertad de expresión, como pilar fundamental de los
regímenes democráticos
Antroposfera : aprenentatge col·laboratiu i creativitat en la pràctica projectual del disseny
Aquest estudi de cas recull les reflexions al voltant d’un taller experimental on s’han aplicat estratègies didàctiques basades en el desconfort i la ficció amb els objectius d’avaluar l’eficàcia d’un marc d’aprenentatge construït a partir de la combinació de diferents contextos, considerar el procés projectual com a matèria d’especulació en sí mateix i intensificar la creativitat en la pràctica del disseny. A partir del plantejament estratègic del taller i del control del procés de disseny amb els ítems de ficció i desconfort durant el desenvolupament del taller, s'ha pogut traçar la incidència que cadascun d'ells té en l'assoliment de l'aprenentatge col·laboratiu del projecte
Measuring Resilience in Women with Endometriosis
Endometriosis is a multifactorial disease with pathophysiological factors not yet well known; it also presents a wide symptomatic range that makes us think about the need for multidisciplinary management. It is a chronic disease in which there is no definitive treatment, and is associated in a large majority of cases with psychological pathology. Connecting comorbidities and multimorbidities on a neurobiological, neuropsychological, and pathophysiological level could significantly contribute to their more successful prevention and treatment. In our study, resilience is analyzed as an adjunctive measure in the management of endometriosis. Methods: A multi-centre, cross-sectional study was performed to analyse resilience levels in a sample of Spanish women suffering from endometriosis. CDRIS-25, CDRIS-10, BDI, the STAI, and the SF-36 Health Questionnaire were used for assessments. A representative group of 202 women with endometriosis was recruited by consecutive sampling. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed for both resilience scales. Results: Mean CDRIS-25 and CDRIS-10 scores were 69.58 (SD 15.1) and 29.37 (SD 7.2), respectively. Women with adenomyosis and without signs of deep endometriosis showed the lowest scores. The best predictive model included women's age, years of endometriosis evolution, number of pregnancies, and history of fertility problems as the best predictive factors. Conclusions: Women build resilience as the number of years of evolution of the disease increases. Symptoms such as dyspareunia and continued abdominal pain were more prevalent among less resilient women
Alteraciones hematológicas en el lupus eritematoso sistémico
A total of 194 cases of patients suffering from systemic lupus erythematosus were reviewed. The hematologic disorders that appeared in the classification criteria were: autoimmune hemolytic anemia (Coombs-positive) in 14 patients (7%), leukopenia in 38 patients (19%), lymphopenia in 28 (14%) and thrombocytopenia in 10 patients (5%). Three patients had the combination of Coombs-positive hemolytic anemia with thrombocytopenia (Fisher-Evans syndrome). Leukopenia was combined with other disorders in 21 cases: leukopenia and lymphopenia in 15 cases; 2 cases of neutropenia, lymphopenia and thrombocytopenia; one case of leukopenia with thrombocytopenia; 3 cases of autoimmune hemolytic anemia with leukopenia. There was no combination of hemolytic anemia with lymphopenia. A patient with Evans-Fisher syndrome also had cryoglobulinemia. In 8 cases of hemolytic anemia the lupus anticoagulant was positive, and the serology was reactive (false positive) in 4 cases; with a combination of autoimmune hemolytic anemia, positive lupus anticoagulant and false-positive serology in some occasions. The statistics include 25 deaths in the group with hematologic disorders, of which 19 patients underwent necropsy and 6 did not. The findings showed 13 cases with significant infections, 9 with vasculitis and 7 patients with necropsy had antiphospholipid syndrome. One patient who died with a diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and myocardial infarction did not undergo the lupus anticoagulant test. Two living patients have antiphospholipid syndrome.Se revisaron un total de 194 pacientes con lupus eritematoso sistémico. Las alteraciones hematológicas que aparecieron en los criterios de clasificación fueron la anemia hemolítica autoinmune (Coombs-positivo) en 14 enfermos (7%), la leucopenia en 38 (19%), la linfopenia en 28 (14%) y la trombocitopenia en 10 (5%). Tres enfermos presentaron la combinación de anemia hemolítica (Coombs-positivo) con trombocitopenia (síndrome de Fisher Evans). La leucopenia estuvo combinada en 21 ocasiones: 15 casos de leucopenia y linfopenia; dos casos de neutropenia, linfopenia y trombocitopenia; un caso de leucopenia con trombocitopenia; tres casos de anemia hemolítica autoinmune con leucopenia. No hubo combinación de anemia hemolítica con linfopenia. Un enfermo con síndrome de Fisher Evans tenía también crioglobulinemia. En ocho pacientes con anemia hemolítica el anticoagulante lúpico fue positivo y, en cuatro, la serología fue reactiva (falsa positiva), con una combinación de anemia hemolítica autoinmune, anticoagulante lúpico positivo y serología falsa positiva en ocasiones. La estadística comprende, en el grupo con alteraciones hematológicas, 25 fallecidos, de los cuales a 19 casos se les realizó la necropsia y a seis no. Los hallazgos mostraron 13 pacientes con infecciones importantes, nueve con vasculitis y siete con necropsia tenían el síndrome antifosfolípido. A un fallecido con el hallazgo de tromboembolismo pulmonar e infarto del miocardio no se le realizó el anticoagulante lúpico. Dos enfermos vivos tienen el síndrome antifosfolípido
