Sensibilidad ética, conocimientos y su relación con el consumo del alcohol en estudiantes universitarios

Introduction: care is an element influenced by multiple factors, among them, the axiological approach and ethical sensitivity, acting as a determinant in the quality of care provided to the patient. On the other hand, health problems related to alcohol consumption are becoming more and more frequent, giving way to the creation of moral dilemmas, in which the question arises whether an individual who affects his human responses by choice deserves the same level of care as those without control over his disease. Objective: to determine the relationship between ethical sensitivity, knowledge and alcohol consumption in university students. Methods: quantitative, descriptive, correlational, prospective and cross-sectional study, applying the Ethical Sensitivity, NEADA and AUDIT instruments to a group of nursing students belonging to a public university and selected by stratified probabilistic sampling. Results and discussion: ethical sensitivity scored at medium levels (52.3%), knowledge about alcohol was medium (81.7%) and consumption was characterized as risky (58.0%). Conclusions: The aim is for students to promote ethical and healthy behaviors through participation in social groups and workshops on didactic techniques that address addiction issues.Introducción: el cuidado es un elemento influenciado por múltiples factores, entre ellos, el enfoque axiológico y sensibilidad ética, fungiendo como un determinante en la calidad de la atención que se brinda al paciente. Por otro lado, los problemas de salud relacionados con el consumo de alcohol son cada vez más más frecuentes, dando paso a la creación de dilemas morales, en ellos plantea si un individuo que afecta sus respuestas humas por elección propia merece el mismo nivel de atención que aquellos sin control sobre su enfermedad. Objetivo: determinar la relación que existe en sensibilidad ética, conocimientos y consumo de alcohol en estudiantes universitarios. Material y métodos: estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo, correlacional, prospectivo y transversal, aplicando los instrumentos Sensibilidad ética, NEADA y AUDIT a un grupo de estudiantes de Enfermería pertenecientes a Universidad pública y seleccionados mediante un muestreo probabilístico estratificado. Resultados y discusión: la sensibilidad ética puntuó en niveles medios (52.3%), el conocimiento sobre el alcohol en medio (81.7%) y el consumo se caracterizó como riesgoso (58.0%). Conclusiones: se busca que el estudiante en promueva conductas éticas y saludables mediante la participación en grupos sociales y talleres sobre técnicas didácticas que aborden de temas de adicciones

Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Protects Escherichia coli from Tellurite-Mediated Oxidative Stress

The tellurium oxyanion tellurite induces oxidative stress in most microorganisms. In Escherichia coli, tellurite exposure results in high levels of oxidized proteins and membrane lipid peroxides, inactivation of oxidation-sensitive enzymes and reduced glutathione content. In this work, we show that tellurite-exposed E. coli exhibits transcriptional activation of the zwf gene, encoding glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), which in turn results in augmented synthesis of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). Increased zwf transcription under tellurite stress results mainly from reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and not from a depletion of cellular glutathione. In addition, the observed increase of G6PDH activity was paralleled by accumulation of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P), suggesting a metabolic flux shift toward the pentose phosphate shunt. Upon zwf overexpression, bacterial cells also show increased levels of antioxidant molecules (NADPH, GSH), better-protected oxidation-sensitive enzymes and decreased amounts of oxidized proteins and membrane lipids. These results suggest that by increasing NADPH content, G6PDH plays an important role in E. coli survival under tellurite stress

Marine mammals and Good Environmental Status: Science, Policy and Society; Challenges and Opportunities

The Marine Strategy Framework Directive has become the key instrument for marine conservation in European seas. We review its implementation, focusing on cetacean biodiversity, using the examples of Spain and the Regional Seas Convention, OSPAR. The MSFD has been widely criticised for legal vagueness, lack of coordination, uncertainty about funding, and poor governance; its future role within EU Integrated Maritime Policy remains unclear. Nevertheless, the first stages of the process have run broadly to schedule: current status, environmental objectives and indicators have been described and the design of monitoring programmes is in progress, drawing on experience with other environmental legislation. The MSFD is now entering its critical phase, with lack of funding for monitoring, limited scope for management interventions, and uncertainty about how conservation objectives will be reconciled with the needs of other marine and maritime sectors, being among the main concerns. Clarity in governance, about the roles of the EU, Member States, Regional Seas Conventions and stakeholders, is needed to ensure success. However, even if (as seems likely) good environmental status cannot be achieved by 2020, significant steps will have been taken to place environmental sustainability centre-stage in the development of Integrated Maritime Policy for EU seas.Postprin

Measurement of the production cross section ratio σ(χb2(1P))/σ(χb1(1P))in pp collisions at √s=8TeV

A measurement of the production cross section ratio σ(χb2(1P))/σ(χb1(1P))σ(χb2(1P))/σ(χb1(1P)) is presented. The χb1(1P)χb1(1P) and χb2(1P)χb2(1P) bottomonium states, promptly produced in pp collisions at View the MathML sources=8 TeV, are detected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC through their radiative decays χb1,2(1P)→ϒ(1S)+γχb1,2(1P)→ϒ(1S)+γ. The emitted photons are measured through their conversion to e+e−e+e− pairs, whose reconstruction allows the two states to be resolved. The ϒ(1S)ϒ(1S) is measured through its decay to two muons. An event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb−120.7 fb−1 is used to measure the cross section ratio in a phase-space region defined by the photon pseudorapidity, |ηγ|<1.0|ηγ|<1.0; the ϒ(1S)ϒ(1S) rapidity, |yϒ|<1.5|yϒ|<1.5; and the ϒ(1S)ϒ(1S) transverse momentum, View the MathML source7<pTϒ<40 GeV. The cross section ratio shows no significant dependence on the ϒ(1S)ϒ(1S) transverse momentum, with a measured average value of View the MathML source0.85±0.07(stat+syst)±0.08(BF), where the first uncertainty is the combination of the experimental statistical and systematic uncertainties and the second is from the uncertainty in the ratio of the χbχb branching fractions

Measurement of the Zγ production cross section in pp collisions at 8 TeV and search for anomalous triple gauge boson couplings

Open Access, Copyright CERN, for the benefit of the CMS Collaboration. Article funded by SCOAP3.Abstract: The cross section for the production of Zγ in proton-proton collisions at 8 TeV is measured based on data collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb−1. Events with an oppositely-charged pair of muons or electrons together with an isolated photon are selected. The differential cross section as a function of the photon transverse momentum is measured inclusively and exclusively, where the exclusive selection applies a veto on central jets. The observed cross sections are compatible with the expectations of next-to-next-to-leading-order quantum chromodynamics. Limits on anomalous triple gauge couplings of ZZγ and Zγγ are set that improve on previous experimental results obtained with the charged lepton decay modes of the Z boson
