Estudio de la adición de cloruro sódico, sacarosa y leche en polvo a la leche cruda de cabra para enmascarar la presencia de agua añadida

[ES] En un primer estudio se determinó la variabilidad de los parámetros de calidad de la leche cruda de cabra analizados habitualmente en un laboratorio interprofesional lechero. Para ello se dispuso de los resultados de 8097 muestras analizadas en el Laboratori d¿Anàlisi de Llet de la UPV (LICOVAL), encontrándose que los parámetros con menor variabilidad fueron el punto de congelación (CV=2,9%) y la lactosa (CV=4%). Se consideró que la muestras con un punto de congelación superior a 580 ¿mºC o de lactosa superior a 5 % eran sospechosas de ser muestras alteradas. A continuación se estudio el efecto de la adición de cloruro sódico (Estudio 2), sacarosa (Estudio 3) y leche en polvo (Estudio 4), a distintas concentraciones, con objeto de enmascarar el aguado de la leche. Los resultados confirmaron que estas tres sustancias permitían enmascarar el agua añadida, si se incorporaban a una concentración que permitiera obtener un punto de congelación entre 540-580 ¿mºC; no obstante, cuando se añadían en exceso el punto de congelación se situaba en niveles de muestra alterada (>580 ¿mºC). La adición de las tres sustancias señaladas anteriormente también afectó significativamente a los análisis de grasa, proteína, lactosa y extracto seco magro; sin embargo no afectó al RCS ni al análisis de inhibidores (todos negativos). El estudio económico mostró que, aplicando estas adulteraciones, los ganaderos obtendrían un escaso (leche en polvo) o prácticamente nulo (cloruro sódico o sacarosa) incremento de ingresos, y existiría un riesgo de que fueran identificadas en el laboratorio como muestras alteradas.[EN] In a first study we investigated the variability of the quality parameters of raw goat milk usually analyzed in a laboratory inter milkman. It was available for the results of samples tested in 8097 Laboratori Llet d'Anàlisi the UPV (LICOVAL), being that with less variability parameters were freezing (CV = 2.9%) and lactose (CV = 4%). It was considered that samples with a higher freezing point to 580-m ° C or more than 5% lactose were suspected to be altered samples. The following study the effect of addition of sodium chloride (Study 2), sucrose (Study 3), and powdered milk (Study 4), at different concentrations, in order to mask the milk watery. The results confirmed that these three substances mask allowed the water added, if incorporated in a concentration that allowed to obtain a freezing point between 540-580 ° C, m, however, when added in excess of the freezing point stood at levels altered sample (> 580-m ° C). The addition of the three substances mentioned above can also significantly affect the analysis of fat, protein, lactose and nonfat solids, but did not affect the RCS or the analysis of inhibitors (all negative). The economic study showed that by applying these adulterations, the farmers would get a little (milk powder) or virtually no (sodium chloride or sucrose) increased revenue, and there is a risk that were identified in the laboratory and altered samples.Martínez Galiano, A.

Dynamics of non-structural carbohydrates in three Mediterranean woody species following long-term experimental drought

Stored non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) have been proposed as a key determinant of drought resistance in plants. However, the evidence for this role is controversial, as it comes mostly from observational, short-term studies. Here, we take advantage of a long-term experimental throughfall reduction to elucidate the response of NSC to increased drought 14 years after the beginning of the treatment in three Mediterranean resprouter trees (Quercus ilex L., Arbutus unedo L. and Phillyrea latifolia L.). In addition, we selected 20 Q. ilex individuals outside the experimental plots to directly assess the relationship between defoliation and NSC at the individual level. We measured the seasonal course of NSC concentrations in leaves, branches and lignotuber in late winter, late spring, summer, and autumn 2012. Total concentrations of NSC were highest in the lignotuber for all species. In the long-term drought experiment we found significant depletion in concentrations of total NSC in treatment plots only in the lignotuber of A. unedo. At the same time, A. unedo was the only species showing a significant reduction in BAI under the drought treatment during the 14 years of the experiment. By contrast, Q. ilex just reduced stem growth only during the first 4 years of treatment and P. latifolia remained unaffected over the whole study period. However, we found a clear association between the concentrations of NSC and defoliation in Q. ilex individuals sampled outside the experimental plots, with lower total concentrations of NSC and lower proportion of starch in defoliated individuals. Taken together, our results suggest that stabilizing processes, probably at the stand level, may have been operating in the long-term to mitigate any impact of drought on NSC levels, and highlight the necessity to incorporate long-term experimental studies of plant responses to drought

EDUCANDO LA SEXUALIDAD DE LAS PERSONAS SORDAS

El presente artículo se refiere a la necesidad de continuar el trabajo en función de educar la sexualidad de la población en general, y en especial, de las personas que presentan algún tipo de necesidad educativa especial, fundamentalmente, a las que la presencia de factores discapacitantes le impiden recibir la información con una claridad que les permita ser responsables ante sus actos en todos los sentidos de la vida. La existencia de personas con sordera es un motivo importante para que especialistas de diversas ramas profundicen en las vías más efectivas para llevarles la información más acabada acerca de la educación de la sexualidad. Por tanto, se proponen una serie de talleres relacionados con diversos elementos para una mejor comprensión de las principales problemáticas relacionadas con la posible adquisición de enfermedades que pueden ser evitadas a partir de su conocimiento y de las mejores maneras de prácticas de sexo seguro que promueva felicidad y responsabilidad. La valoración de los talleres en lengua de señas cubanas posibilitó comprobar que las temáticas propuestas son efectivas y los resultados alcanzados demuestran las posibilidades de esta población de apropiarse de las formas más adecuadas de comportamiento en la vida sexual. ABSTRACT The present investigation responds to the necessity of continuing working in function of educating the population's sexuality in general, especially of those that present some type of special educational necessity and fundamentally to those that the presence of disables factors prevents them to receive the information with a clarity that allows them to be responsible before their acts in all the senses of the life. The existence of people with deafness is an important reason, for that, specialists of diverse areas deepens in the most effective ways to give them the completed information about the education of sexuality. Hence, this work intends a series of workshops related to diverse elements that allow a better understanding of the main problematic that are related to the possible acquisition of illnesses that can be avoided starting from its knowledge and in the best ways of practices a secure sex and it promotes happiness and responsibility. The validation of the workshops in Cuban´s signs language facilitated to check that the thematic proposals are effective and the results reached demonstrate the possibilities of this population to enhance the most effective ways to behave appropriately in sexual life. KEY WORDS: sexual education, deafness, infection of sexual transmission, language of Cuban signs

Surface Acid–Base Properties of Anion-Adsorbed Species at Pt(111) Electrode Surfaces in Contact with CO2-Containing Perchloric Acid Solutions

Carbonate and bicarbonate adsorption on Pt(111) electrodes from CO2-saturated acidic solutions is investigated by cyclic voltammetry and Fourier transform infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy (FT-IRRAS). Spectroscopic results show carbonate and bicarbonate adsorption even at pH = 1, where bulk concentration of these anions is negligible. Moreover, analysis of the potential dependence of band intensities corresponding to adsorbed carbonate and bicarbonate reveals an effect of the electrode potential on the surface acid–base equilibrium. In this regard, increasing potentials favor bicarbonate deprotonation, leading to carbonate formation. A tentative thermodynamic analysis is given to rationalize these trends.Support from MINECO (Spain) through project CTQ2013-44083-P is greatly acknowledged.
