Participación de los padres en la universidad

The family-school collaboration is one of the most important challenges raised by the education system and even society as a whole. This participation is lacking in university stage, but through the fields of action of the University Strategy 2015, we considered certain areas in which the family could participate. So we have set targets to conduct an exploratory study to determine the potential involvement of parents in the UJI. Through questionnaires constructed «ad-hoc» for students in first and third grades Teacher of Education and Psychology, and parents of these. As the semi-structured interviews to UJI PDI. The results show the interest of students, parents and PDI to be carried out a possible participation.La colaboración familia-escuela es uno de los retos más importantes que tiene planteado el sistema educativo e incluso la sociedad en su conjunto.

Growth of Au-Pd2Sn nanorods via galvanic replacement and their catalytic performance on hydrogenation and sonogashira coupling reactions

Colloidal Pd2Sn and Au–Pd2Sn nanorods (NRs) with tuned size were produced by the reduction of Pd and Sn salts in the presence of size- and shape-controlling agents and the posterior growth of Au tips through a galvanic replacement reaction. Pd2Sn and Au–Pd2Sn NRs exhibited high catalytic activity toward quasi-homogeneous hydrogenation of alkenes (styrene and 1-octene) and alkynes (phenylacetylene and 1-octyne) in dichloromethane. Au–Pd2Sn NRs showed higher activity than Pd2Sn for 1-octene, 1-octyne, and phenylacetylene. In Au–Pd2Sn heterostructures, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy evidenced an electron donation from the Pd2Sn NR to the Au tips. Such heterostructures showed distinct catalytic behavior in the hydrogenation of compounds containing a triple bond such as tolan. This can be explained by the aurophilicity of triple bonds. To further study this effect, Pd2Sn and Au–Pd2Sn NRs were also tested in the Sonogashira coupling reaction between iodobenzene and phenylacetylene in N,N-dimethylformamide. At low concentration, this reaction provided the expected product, tolan. However, at high concentration, more reduced products such as stilbene and 1,2-diphenylethane were also obtained, even without the addition of H2. A mechanism for this unexpected reduction is proposed.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft

Possibilities of the use of CeBr3 scintillation detectors for the measurement of the content of radionuclides in samples for environmental monitoring

The investigation of radioactivity in samples is an application of gamma-ray spectrometry dealing with low and very low level gamma-ray activities of different isotopes. Gamma-ray spectrometry performed in the framework of radiological environmental monitoring may be done after selective sampling processes or after a chemical purification of a sample. Both cases imply that only some specific radionuclides should contribute to the obtained spectrum. Gamma-ray spectrometry performed with medium energy resolution detectors may allow the possible distinction of their photopeaks. Therefore, a cerium bromide (CeBr3) detector can be particularly attractive for routine tasks in radiological environmental monitoring as it has a high efficiency, medium energy resolution and it can work at room temperature. This study describes the conditions under which a CeBr3 detector can serve for some routine analysis in radiological analysis of samples collected in the environment or collected by airsamplers in environmental radiological monitoring programmes

A Solar Dually PVT Driven Direct Expansion Heat Pump One-Year Field Operation Results at Continental Climate

The high energy-consuming building sector needs to meet both electricity and heat demands. In a nearly zero energy building scenario, most of the consumed energy would be generated locally by means of renewable solutions that nowadays seem not to provide an attractive performance or cost-competitiveness. Solar-based technologies tend to be the most promising ones, but for high densely populated areas, the usual photovoltaic or thermal single approaches may not be efficient enough. The current work is focused on the analysis of the dual use of the solar resource by means of hybrid PVT collectors and their smart combination with direct expansion heat pumps through predictive control strategies. To that end, a system was developed, installed in a real-use single-family house at a continental climate for domestic hot water application, operated and monitored for one entire year. The average day indicator results show 83% renewable energy share, 220% self-sufficiency ratio, 41% heat pump self-consumption and 46% of the solar fraction.This research was funded by EIT InnoEnergy, grant number 56_2014_IP127_Handle and the APC was funded by Fundación TECNALIA Research & Innovation

Population-based e-records to evaluate HPV triage of screen-detected atypical squamous cervical lesions in Catalonia, Spain, 2010-15

Equivocal lesions (ASC-US) are common abnormalities in cervical cancer screening exams. HPV testing helps to stratify the risk of progression to high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions or more (HSIL+). Population-based medical electronic data can be used to evaluate screening recommendations. The study uses routine electronic data from primary health centers to estimate the impact of HPV testing in a 3-and a 5-year risk of HSIL+ after an ASC-US. The study includes data derived from medical electronic information from 85,775 women who first attended a cervical cancer screening visit at the National Health System facilities of Catalonia, Spain, during 2010-11 and followed up to 2015. Included women were aged between 25-65 years old, having at least one follow-up visit, and a cervical cytology of ASC-US (N = 1,647). Women with a first result of low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL) (N = 945) or those with negative cytology (N = 83,183) were included for comparison. Those with a baseline HSIL+ were excluded. Incident HSIL+ was evaluated by means of Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariate regression models. HPV test results were available for 63.4% of women with a baseline ASC-US. Among all ASC-US, 70 incident HSIL+ were identified at 5 years. ASC-US HPV positive women had a high risk of HSIL+ compared to women with negative cytology (adjusted HR = 32.7; 95% CI: 23.6-45.2) and a similar risk to women with baseline LSIL (HR = 29.3; 95% CI: 22.4-38.2), whereas ASC-US HPV negative women had no differential risk to that observed in baseline negative cytology. Women with ASC-US and no HPV test had an average HSIL+ risk (HR = 14.8; 95% CI: 9.7-22.5). Population-based e-medical records derived from primary health care centers allowed monitoring of screening recommendations, providing robust estimates for the study outcomes. This analysis confirms that HPV testing improved risk stratification of ASC-US lesions. The information can be used to improve diagnosis and management of screen detected lesions

Análise estrutural e funcional de proteínas solúveis que ligam lipídios de parasitas helmintos

Los parásitos helmintos producen y secretan una gran variedad de proteínas que unen lípidos (LBPs, del inglés lipid binding proteins) que podrían participar en la obtención de nutrientes tales como ácidos grasos y colesterol desde el hospedador. Asimismo, se postula que las LBPs podrían intervenir en la regulación de la respuesta inmune del hospedador. Conocer más acerca de las estructuras de estas proteínas, así como de sus interacciones con ligandos y membranas, es claramente pertinente para comprender las interacciones parásito-hospedador que ellas pudieran mediar. Por otra parte, dichos estudios permitirán profundizar en el conocimiento de los mecanismos de infección helmíntica y en el papel que estas proteínas juegan en la biología de los helmintos en general. Asimismo, esta información podría contribuir al establecimiento de medidas terapéuticas y de prevención de las enfermedades causadas por estos parásitos.Helminth parasites produce and secrete a great variety of lipid binding proteins (LBPs) that may participate in the acquisition of nutrients such as fatty acids and cholesterol from their host. It is also postulated that LBPs might interfere in the regulation of the host's immune response. Knowing more about the structure of these proteins as well as their interactions with ligands and membranes is important in order to understand the host-parasite interaction that they could mediate. On the other hand, these studies will contribute to obtain further knowledge about the mechanisms of helminth infection and the role that these proteins play in helminth biology. Moreover, this information would be useful to set new therapeutic and prevention measures for the diseases caused by these parasites.Os parasitas helmintos produzem e secretam uma grande variedade de proteínas que ligam lipídios, LBPs (Lipid Binding Proteins, por sua sigla em inglês), que poderiam estar envolvidas na obtenção de nutrientes tais como ácidos graxos e colesterol a partir do hospedeiro.
