Analysis of the sensible and total ventilation energy recovery potential in different climate conditions. Application to the Spanish case

Energy recovery elements play a major role in the efficiency and sustainability of building ventilation systems. The use of a sensible or total energy recovery ventilator is a key decision for ventilation systems designers. However, there is a lack of technical tools and developments to support this decision. The authors present a procedure to develop a simple decision tool for designers based on hourly values of the outdoor weather conditions and that can be applied to any kind of building. Results of the procedure are presented in simple-to-use isoline maps and tables. In order to assess credibility of the model used in the procedure, data published in the literature have been used as a reference, showing good accordance. As an example, the procedure has been applied to the Spanish area considering 48 different locations. Results have been presented and discussed. Their analysis shows as the market-accepted recommendation of using energy recovery ventilators in locations with high relative humidity during the summer should be reconsidered.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

El binomio resiliencia y motivación. Una escala de análisis y medición

Furthermore, resilient people have a strong sense of control over events, are more open to changes in life and constantly seeking ways to achieve overcome a stressful and even painful situation. Our goal is to find the correspondence between motivation and resilience within the human team of an organization. And therefore, provide a unique model for measuring motivation and resilience.La motivación, como fuerza impulsora, es un pilar básico en cualquier ámbito de la actividad humana: familiar, de ocio o laboral. Se trata de un proceso psicológico que produce el despertar, la dirección y la persistencia de acciones orientadas a la consecución de un objetivo. Por otro lado, las personas resilientes tienen una fuerte sensación de control sobre los acontecimientos, están más abiertas a los cambios en la vida y buscan permanentemente la manera de lograr superar una situación estresante. Nuestro objetivo es encontrar el paralelismo existente entre la motivación y la resiliencia dentro del equipo humano de una organización. Y en consecuencia, aportar un modelo único de medición de la motivación y la resiliencia

Increased Amoxicillin–Clavulanic Acid Resistance in Escherichia coli Blood Isolates, Spain

To determine the evolution and trends of amoxicillin–clavulanic acid resistance among Escherichia coli isolates in Spain, we tested 9,090 blood isolates from 42 Spanish hospitals and compared resistance with trends in outpatient consumption. These isolates were collected by Spanish hospitals that participated in the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System network from April 2003 through December 2006
