Griffon vultures, livestock and farmers: Unraveling a complex socio-economic ecological conflict from a conservation perspective.

An unexpected human-wildlife conflict between vultures and livestock has emerged in Europe during the last two decades. Farmers attributed changes in vulture behavior, due to food shortages caused by sanitary regulations, to increasing livestock interactions ('vulture attacks'). To disentangle this conflict, we analyzed 683 farmer complaints between 1996 and 2020 in Catalonia (northeastern Spain) and investigated the eco-anthropological factors driving their frequency. We also assessed farmers' perception through 127 interviews. Most complaints (80 %) occurred during the birthing season, mainly involving cattle (76.5 %), followed by horses (14.9 %) and sheep/goats (8.6 %). From 2008 to 2020, vulture-livestock conflicts cost the government 192,000 (~22 % of claims compensated). The frequency of complaints was positively associated with extensive livestock density, griffon vulture Gyps fulvus abundance (breeding and non-breeding), shorter distances to landfill sites and, to a lesser extent, to supplementary feeding stations. In contrast, there was a negative relationship between complaints and the number of griffon vulture breeding pairs, suggesting that long-distance foraging movements by both breeding and non-breeding individuals may play a major role in determining the occurrence of conflicts. Farmers (88 %) said that vultures attack livestock and that attacks had increased in recent years because of significant vulture population increases and food shortages due to sanitary regulations. They considered government policies and compensation ineffective. We highlight the critical need for mitigation in areas with high extensive livestock numbers, particularly during birthing times. Scientific assessments and interdisciplinary awareness campaigns on the coexistence of vultures and livestock are necessary to harmonize biodiversity conservation and agro-pastoral practices in rural economies

Perfiles de pensamiento docente de los estudiantes de ciencia y tecnología del máster de enseñanza secundaria

[ES] Este trabajo forma parte de un proyecto de investigación de varias etapas sobre el pensamiento docente de los estudiantes del Máster de Enseñanza Secundaria (MaES), a través de diferentes actividades realizadas en el aula. En esta ocasión pretendemos analizar las creencias del alumnado del máster sobre los procesos educativos y su relación con los principales perfiles de actuación docente. Han participado 188 estudiantes del área de ciencia y tecnología, que han cumplimentado un cuestionario de escala likert, en torno a las creencias del alumnado sobre el aprendizaje, la enseñanza y la evaluación. Los datos sobre tales temas se han recogido al inicio de la materia de enseñanza y aprendizaje, incluida en el módulo específico del máster, durante tres cursos académicos. A partir del análisis estadístico de los datos recogidos se han establecido dos sub-escalas que permiten caracterizar dos modelos de pensamiento docente, relacionados respectivamente con el enfoque educativo tradicional y con el enfoque constructivista. Tras analizar el grado de identificación de los estudiantes con tales modelos didácticos se han encontrado cuatro perfiles de preferencia, que representan diferentes actitudes profesionales o diferentes formas de identificación con la profesión docente.[EN] This paper is part of a multi-stage research project on the teaching thinking of students of the Master of Secondary Education (MaES), through different activities carried out in the classroom. On this occasion, we intend to analyze the beliefs of the Master's students about educational processes and their relationship with the main profiles of teaching performance. A total of 188 students from the area of science and technology took part in the study, completing a likert scale questionnaire on the students' beliefs about learning, teaching and evaluation. Data on these topics were collected at the beginning of the Teaching and Learning course, included in the specific module of the master's degree, during three academic years. From the statistical analysis of the collected data, two subscales have been established to characterize two models of teaching thinking, related respectively to the traditional educational approach and to the constructivist approach. After analyzing the degree of identification of students with such didactic models, four profiles of preference were found, representing different professional attitudes or different forms of identification with the teaching profession.Pontes Pedrajas, A.; Poyato López, FJ.; Oliva Martínez, JM.

The neolithic necropolis of Feixa del Moro (Juberri, Andorra): review and new data

[EN] The data presented in this paper resume all the available information on the Feixa del Moro site, correcting old mistakes and bias, updating the 1980s archaeological registers and presenting new analyses as well. Our aim is to ensure that Feixa del Moro remains a reference site for the Pyrenean and Western Mediterranean Neolithic. At the same time, we wish to encourage other researchers to undertake new analyses and to embrace new perspectives in order to improve our understanding of Neolithic societies.[FR] Le travail que nous présentons ici rassemble toutes les données disponibles sur la Feixa del Moro jusqu’à aujourd’hui, expose les confusions détectées dans les sources, actualise les registres archéologiques obtenus dans les années 1980 et présente les résultats des nouvelles analyses effectuées. Grâce à cette démarche nous souhaitons que ce site continue d’être une référence pour le Néolithique dans les Pyrénées et la Méditerranée occidentale. Nous souhaitons également attirer l’attention d’autres chercheurs afin qu’ils continuent d’analyser et d’apporter de nouveaux éléments et de nouvelles approches pour mieux comprendre les sociétés néolithiques.Peer Reviewe

Role of age and comorbidities in mortality of patients with infective endocarditis

[Purpose]: The aim of this study was to analyse the characteristics of patients with IE in three groups of age and to assess the ability of age and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) to predict mortality. [Methods]: Prospective cohort study of all patients with IE included in the GAMES Spanish database between 2008 and 2015.Patients were stratified into three age groups:<65 years,65 to 80 years,and ≥ 80 years.The area under the receiver-operating characteristic (AUROC) curve was calculated to quantify the diagnostic accuracy of the CCI to predict mortality risk. [Results]: A total of 3120 patients with IE (1327 < 65 years;1291 65-80 years;502 ≥ 80 years) were enrolled.Fever and heart failure were the most common presentations of IE, with no differences among age groups.Patients ≥80 years who underwent surgery were significantly lower compared with other age groups (14.3%,65 years; 20.5%,65-79 years; 31.3%,≥80 years). In-hospital mortality was lower in the <65-year group (20.3%,<65 years;30.1%,65-79 years;34.7%,≥80 years;p < 0.001) as well as 1-year mortality (3.2%, <65 years; 5.5%, 65-80 years;7.6%,≥80 years; p = 0.003).Independent predictors of mortality were age ≥ 80 years (hazard ratio [HR]:2.78;95% confidence interval [CI]:2.32–3.34), CCI ≥ 3 (HR:1.62; 95% CI:1.39–1.88),and non-performed surgery (HR:1.64;95% CI:11.16–1.58).When the three age groups were compared,the AUROC curve for CCI was significantly larger for patients aged <65 years(p < 0.001) for both in-hospital and 1-year mortality. [Conclusion]: There were no differences in the clinical presentation of IE between the groups. Age ≥ 80 years, high comorbidity (measured by CCI),and non-performance of surgery were independent predictors of mortality in patients with IE.CCI could help to identify those patients with IE and surgical indication who present a lower risk of in-hospital and 1-year mortality after surgery, especially in the <65-year group
