Metodologías activas y redes sociales: configurando redes de colaboración en la Educación Superior
[SPA]La incoporación de la Universidad Española al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior ha requerido un cambio
estructural y organizacional de las titulaciones superiores así como una adaptación de metodologías a otras más activas
en las que el alumno tiene un mayor protagonismo. La consideración de las horas de trabajo autónomo del alumnado en
la planificación docente ha requerido repensar no sólo las metodologías sino los recursos y herramientas tecnológicas
que ofrezcan nuevas y diversificadas estrategias didácticas en las aulas universitarias. En este marco, Internet se ha
revelado como un espacio para comunicar, producir, difundir, mejorar y editar conocimiento por y para la comunidad,
sea en el contexto escolar, en ámbitos profesionales e incluso para el desarrollo de procesos de investigación.
En este trabajo presentamos los resultados de un proyecto de Innovación con TIC realizado en la asignatura Nuevas
Tecnologías aplicadas a la Educación del Plan de Estudios de Adaptación al EEES de la Titulación de Magisterio de
Educación Infantil de la Universidad de Murcia. Para la configuración metodológica de este proyecto partimos de un
enfoque constructivista social y de la colaboración como estrategia metodológica para lograr más y mejores
aprendizajes. En este sentido, en el proyecto se han configurado redes de colaboración mediadas por TIC,
específicamente a través de blog y espacios de red social, para fomentar la colaboración y comunicación entre los
alumnos y otros agentes implicados en la asignatura. [ENG]The incorporation of the Spanish Universities into the European Higher Education Area has required both a structural
and organizational change of the higher degrees and an adaptation of traditional methodologies to others methodologies
more actives. The consideration of the independent learning in the syllabus has required to re-think not only the
methodologies but the technologic resources and tools which offer new and diversified didactic strategies into
university lecture rooms. In this context, the Internet show itself to be a great environment to communicate, produce,
spread, improve and edit knowledge for and to the community as in the educative context as professional and research
process even.
In this work, we present the outcomes of a Innovation project using ICT. This project was developed in the subject
Nuevas Tecnologías aplicadas a la Educación of the syllabus of EHEA Adaptation into the degree to be a teacher in the
University of Murcia. For the methodologic definition of this project, we start of a social constructivism approach and
the collaboration as methodological strategic to get more and better learning. In this project we have made up
collaboration networks mediated by ICT, specially through blog and social networking sites to promote the
collaboration and communication among students and others agents of the subject.Campus Mare Nostrum, Universidad Politécnica de Cartagena, Universidad de Murcia, Región de Murci
Consumo de tabaco y alcohol en una muestra en proceso de desahucio
Introduction: In Spain, the current economic crisis has led to an unfortunate phenomenon little known until now: the eviction process. The aim was to evaluate unhealthy habits such as consumption of tobacco and alcohol in a group of Granada as at risk of losing their residence. Methods: Participated 205 adult undergoing an eviction process from their homes (122 women and 83 men) who were given the items of health-related habits of the Andalusian Health Survey 2011. All participants were linked to the Platform Affected by Mortgage, Stop Desahucios of Granada. Results: Consumption of tobacco: observe higher percentage of daily smokers among men (54.22 %), people who live as a couple and workers. People who have entered the judicial process smoke more cigarettes per day (t = 1944, p = .055) and perceived an increase in the consumption of tobacco from the process of eviction. (c2 = 8.494, p = .037). Consumption of alcohol: find higher percentage in men (c2= 10.005, p = .019) and in people who do not live with a partner (c2= 8,553, p = .036); men perceive a greater increase in alcohol consumption due to the eviction process (c2 = 20,375, p = .000). Conclusions: The eviction process negatively affects health-related habits and should therefore be prioritized in Public Health policies as a population at riskResumenIntroducción: En España, la actual crisis económica nos ha llevado a un lamentable fenómeno poco conocido hasta ahora: el proceso del desahucio. Nuestro objetivo ha sido evaluar hábitos poco saludables como el consumo del tabaco y alcohol en un grupo de granadinos/as en riesgo de perder su vivienda habitual. Método: Han participado 205 personas adultas (122 mujeres y 83 hombres) a los que se les administró los ítems de hábitos relacionados con la salud de la Entrevista Andaluza de Salud 2011. Todos los participantes estaban vinculados a la Plataforma de Afectados por la Hipoteca Stop Desahucios de Granada. Resultados: Consumo de tabaco: observamos mayor porcentaje de fumadores a diario en hombres (54.22 %), personas que no viven en pareja y trabajadores. Las personas que han entrado en el proceso judicial fuman más cigarrillos al día (t = -1.944, p = .055) y perciben un aumento en el consumo de tabaco debido al proceso de desahucio (c2 = 8.494, p = .037). Consumo de alcohol: encontramos mayor porcentaje en hombres c2 = 10.005, p = .019) y en personas que no viven en pareja c2 = 8.553, p = .036); los hombres perciben un mayor aumento en el consumo de alcohol debido al proceso de desahucio (c2 = 20.375, p = .000). Conclusiones: El proceso de desahucio afecta negativamente a los hábitos relacionados con la salud por lo que debería priorizarse en las políticas de Salud Pública como una población de riesgo.

Elaboration of Criteria and Indicators to Develop and Evaluate Programs of Healthy Aging in the Workplace
JOURNAL ARTICLE; ENGLISH ABSTRACT;BACKGROUND
In the actual context of population ageing and extension of working age, programs for health promotion at the workplace are a key and necessary tool to promote an active and healthy ageing. This work presents the methodological process followed to elaborate a checklist tool, within the framework of the European project Progress, that contributes to orientate planning, implementation and evaluation of good practices in this field, to be applicable to a variety of programs, countries and workplaces.
METHODS
A Delphi technique has been applied in three rounds in which experts in the area from five European countries participated. A questionnaire created from a list of criteria and indicators was adapted throughout the rounds, with the use of webmail, to the evaluation of interventions in the field of interest. Through processes of assessment and consensus, criteria and indicators most relevant were prioritized.
RESULTS
From the nine starting criteria and after the implementation of the technique, four key criteria were prioritized: relevance: 62, adequacy to objective: 57, innovation: 50 and guarantee of quality: 41. Using this group of criteria and indicators, a checklist was designed containing the key information that should be collected for planning, implementation and evaluation of good practices in interventions in this field.
CONCLUSIONS
The checklist tool helps to systematize the global methodology for the implementation of interventions which could be very useful for persons responsible of programmes to promote active and healthy ageing in the workplace.YesFundamentos: En el actual contexto poblacional de envejecimiento de

Use of acute phase proteins for the clinical assessment and management of canine leishmaniosis: general recommendations
Abstract Background Dogs with canine leishmaniosis (CanL) due to Leishmania infantum can show a wide spectrum of clinical and clinicopathological findings at the time of diagnosis. The aim of this paper is to describe the possible application of acute phase proteins (APPs) for the characterization and management of this disease, based on previously published information on the utility of APPs in CanL and the experience of the authors in using APPs as analytes in the profiling of canine diseases. Main body Dogs diagnosed with L. infantum infection by serology, polymerase chain reaction, cytological or histopathological identification, can be divided into three groups based on their clinical condition at physical examination and their APPs concentrations: Group 1: dogs with no clinical signs on physical examination and APPs in reference range; Group 2: dogs with changes in APPs but no clinical signs on physical examination; Group 3: dogs with clinical signs and changes in APPs. This report describes the main characteristics of each group as well as its association with the clinical classification schemes of CanL. Conclusion APPs concentration can be a useful clinical tool to characterize and manage CanL
Free nasal floor mucosal grafting after endoscopic total ethmoidectomy for severe nasal polyposis: a pilot study
[Background] We report a novel surgical technique based on an endonasal free mucosal graft (mucoplasty) for improving clinical results and local healing in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP).[Methods] Patients diagnosed with bilateral CRSwNP scheduled for endoscopic sinus surgery were included. They underwent complete removal of anterior and posterior ethmoid cells, in addition to bilateral type III frontal sinusotomy. An endoscopic mucoplasty was performed in the left nasal cavity, whereas the right nasal cavity served as control. Patients were evaluated before surgery and 6 months after operation, including Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for olfaction, endoscopic evaluation using the Modified und-Kennedy (MLK) scoring system and healing evaluation.[Results] Ten patients (mean age 53.6 years) were included. A significa t decrease of SNOT-22 score from 57.0 (21.1) to 20.3 (20.6) (P = 0.024) and a non-significa t decrease of VAS for olfaction score from 9.3 (0.5) to 4.6 (3.9) were found. Preoperative mean MLK score was 4.9 (0.7) in the right nostril and 4.8 (1.0) in the left one. After operation, there was a greater decrease of MLK score in the left nostril than in the right (1.9 [1.0] vs. 1.3 [0.8], P = 0.034). Better healing was proved in the nostril with the mucoplasty.[Conclusion] Endonasal mucoplasty could be an effective, safe and feasible complementary surgical procedure in the treatment of CRSwNP. The reduced local edema associated with lower amount of secretions may confer a better control in the frontal recess, orbital wall and nasal roof
Incidence and prognostic impact of U2AF1 mutations and other gene alterations in myelodysplastic neoplasms with isolated 20q deletion
This work was supported by 2019 3rd Grant of the Spanish Group of Myelodysplastic Syndromes (GESMD).Background: In myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS), the 20q deletion [del(20q)] is a recurrent chromosomal abnormality that it has a high co-occurrence with U2AF1 mutations. Nevertheless, the prognostic impact of U2AF1 in these MDS patients is uncertain and the possible clinical and/or prognostic differences between the mutation type and the mutational burden are also unknown. Methods: Our study analyzes different molecular variables in 100 MDS patients with isolated del(20q). Results & Conclusions: We describe the high incidence and negative prognostic impact of U2AF1 mutations and other alterations such as in ASXL1 gene to identify prognostic markers that would benefit patients to receive earlier treatment
