El títere como herramienta de trabajo en Arteterapia

This article aims to investigate the possibilities of building puppets in art therapy workshop, for this it realizes a tour of the primitive use of the puppet as a magical twin and potential towards the study of authors who have used the puppets as a therapeutic tool from the first half of the twentieth century. It’s raised an own theoretical organization, which includes the consideration of the significance of the body in the construction and management of the puppet and the puppet transitional perspective, halfway of external reality and psychic reality as an object that makes fantasy and reality arises built.El presente artículo pretende indagar en las posibilidades propias de la construcción de títeres en el taller de arteterapia, para ello se realiza un recorrido que parte del uso primitivo del títere como doble mágico y potencial hacia el estudio de autores que han utilizado los títeres como herramienta terapéutica desde la primera mitad del siglo XX. Se plantea un cuerpo teórico propio, que incluye el considerar la significación del cuerpo en la construcción y manejo del títere, y la perspectiva transional del títere, a medio camino de la realidad externa y la realidad psíquica, como objeto que fabrica fantasía y construye realidad

Valorization of keratin biofibers for removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions

Four common waste keratin biofibers (human hair, dog hair, chicken feathers, and degreased wool) have been used as biosorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Different parameters of the biosorption processes were optimized in batch systems. For multiple-metal systems, consisting of a mixture of eight metal ions [Cr(III), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II)], the total metal biosorption increased in the order: degreased wool¿>¿chicken feathers¿>¿human hair¿>¿dog hair. From the kinetic models tested, the pseudo-second-order model provided better results. Furthermore, biosorption isotherms of Pb(II) with the different keratin biofibers fitted the Langmuir model. Surface morphology of the biosorbents were analyzed before and after the sorption using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The keratin biofibers tested are potentially good sorbents of metal ions, with degreased wool and chicken feathers being the more efficient onesPostprint (author's final draft

Cómo construirse un hombre. Un caso clínico de arteterapia con un joven con síndrome de Down y conflicto en la identidad de género

This article presents an art therapy experience with a young man with Down syndrome, who manifests, from his adolescence, gender identity crisis. Starting from the theories of Donald Winnicott on the development of the sense of identity in the subject, we begin by exposing a theoretical body, which allows the reader to understand the difficult construction of identity and the false self in people with intellectual disabilities.In the clinical case analysis, we can observe how the patient can give shape to everything that remains undefined inside, building an image of himself. We work together in the complex search of our own identity, which allows us to take over a genre that continues in process. In the course of the sessions, the patient has been able to conquer their own spaces and establish access bridges with the subjective, in addition to appropriating their thinking and finding a subjective representation of himself: a unique way to be and present himslef to others.</p

Use of chemically treated human hair wastes for the removal of heavy metal ions from water

Human hair is considered a ubiquitous waste product and its accumulation can cause environmental problems. Hence, the search for alternatives that take advantage of this waste as a new raw material is of interest, and contributes to the idea of the circular economy. In this study, chemically modified human hair was used as a low cost biosorbent for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. The effect of the contact time, the pH, and the biosorbent concentration on the biosorption process were investigated. Kinetic modeling indicated that the pseudo-second order kinetic equation fitted well with R2> 0.999. Furthermore, the equilibrium data fitted the Langmuir adsorption isotherm at 295 K resulting insaturation concentrations of9.47×10-5, 5.57×10-5, 3.77×10-5,and3.61×10-5mol/g for the sorption of Cr(III), Cu(II), Cd(II), and Pb(II), respectively. The biosorption process did not change the chemical structure and morphology of the hair, which was shown by FTIR and SEM. In addition, desorption experiments prove that 0.1 mol/L EDTA solution is an efficient eluent for the recovery of Pb(II) from the treated human hair. To summarize, treated human hair showed satisfactory biosorption capacity and can be considered as an effective biosorbent for the treatment of waterwith a low concentration of heavy metal ionsPostprint (published version

The "Integrated creativity" from the Analysis of artistic experiences with people with "diverse abilities" in academic contexts

The present article arises from the creative activities that in the last years we have been developing with people with Down syndrome and university students. We present a field study supported by a theoretical foundation, which has made it possible to create a space for people with different capacities to work with the same possibilities. The object of study is in the processes arising in the development of the “workshop of integrated creation with people with Down syndrome” of the University of Murcia. It has fostered mutual enrichment and learning of diverse relationships through creative tools. Likewise, we want to show the meetings that served as a source for the consolidation of this workshop.The theoretical support of this experience has led us to reflect on the subject and its construction through intersubjectivity, as well as in the search of own methodologies that favor spaces for integration through creativity. We introduce key strategies such as: creation, dialogue, interaction, play, experimentation and setting adequate, which have allowed us to reformulate the concept of integrated creativity. Finally we show some essential conclusions.</p

Improvement of Remote Sensing-Based Assessment of Defoliation of Pinus spp. Caused by Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis and Schiffermüller and Related Environmental Drivers in Southeastern Spain

This study used Landsat temporal series to describe defoliation levels due to the Pine Processionary Moth (PPM) in Pinus forests of southeastern Andalusia (Spain), utilizing Google Earth Engine. A combination of remotely sensed data and field survey data was used to detect the defoliation levels of different Pinus spp. and the main environmental drivers of the defoliation due to the PPM. Four vegetation indexes were also calculated for remote sensing defoliation assessment, both inside the stand and in a 60-m buffer area. In the area of study, all Pinus species are affected by defoliation due to the PPM, with a cyclic behavior that has been increasing in frequency in recent years. Defoliation levels were practically equal for all species, with a high increase in defoliation levels 2 and 3 since 2014. The Moisture Stress Index (MSI) and Normalized Difference Infrared Index (NDII) exhibited similar overall (p < 0.001) accuracy in the assessment of defoliation due to the PPM. The synchronization of NDII-defoliation data had a similar pattern for all together and individual Pinus species, showing the ability of this index to adjust the model parameters based on the characteristics of specific defoliation levels. Using Landsat-based NDII-defoliation maps and interpolated environmental data, we have shown that the PPM defoliation in southeastern Spain is driven by the minimum temperature in February and the precipitation in June, March, September, and October. Therefore, the NDII-defoliation assessment seems to be a general index that can be applied to forests in other areas. The trends of NDII-defoliation related to environmental variables showed the importance of summer drought stress in the expansion of the PPM on Mediterranean Pinus species. Our results confirm the potential of Landsat time-series data in the assessment of PPM defoliation and the spatiotemporal patterns of the PPM; hence, these data are a powerful tool that can be used to develop a fully operational system for the monitoring of insect damage

Active Biomolecules from Vegetable Extracts with Antitumoral Activity against Pancreas Cancer: A Systematic Review (2011–2021)

The emergence of resistance to pancreatic cancer (PC) current treatment requires the development of new therapeutic strategies. In this context, bioactive molecules from plant extracts have shown excellent properties to improve classical therapy against this type of tumor. This systematic review aims to collect all the in vitro studies related to the antiproliferative activity of isolated plant molecules that support their applicability in PC. A total of 620 articles published in the last 10 years were identified, although only 28 were finally included to meet the inclusion criteria. Our results reflect the most important biomolecules from natural compounds that induce cell death in PC and their essential mechanism of cell death, including apoptosis, pathways activated by the KRAS mutation and cycle cell arrest, among others. These in vitro studies provide an excellent molecule guide showing applications against PC and that should be tested in vivo and in clinical trials to determine their usefulness to reduce PC incidence and to improve the prognosis of these patients. However, natural compounds are isolated in small amounts, which prevents comprehensive drug screening, being necessary the role of organic synthesis for the total synthesis of natural compounds or for the synthesis of their simplified and bioactive analogs.GranadaUniversity INB-009Instituto de Salud Carlos IIIEuropean Commission DTS17/00081Spanish Government RTC2019-006870-1Junta de Andalucia P18-TP-1420 A-CTS-666-UGR20 B-CTS-122-UGR20Ministerio de Educacion, Ciencia y Deporte y Competitividad (Spain) FPU17/02977 Ibs.
