    En la actualidad, contamos con multitud de métodos anticonceptivos de uso regular, capaces de prevenir un embarazo no deseado. Cuando no se usan estos métodos o se hace de forma incorrecta existe una segunda alternativa que es la anticoncepción de urgencia. La anticoncepción de urgencia o también conocida como “pastilla del día de después” se define como el “uso de un fármaco o dispositivo como medida de urgencia para prevenir un embarazo en caso de coito no protegido, por carencia de método de uso regular o por uso inadecuado del mismo”. En España, como método contamos con el DIU que se puede colocar hasta 5 días después de la relación sexual sin protección. En cuanto a fármacos se dispone del levonogestrel que se puede utilizar dentro de las 72 horas después de la relación sexual sin protección y el acetato de ulipristal dentro de las 120 primaras horas, ambos, pueden adquirirse en farmacias sin receta médica. La mayoría de autores coinciden en que el principal efecto de estos fármacos es impedir la ovulación y sus efectos secundarios son leves y desaparecen dentro de las 24 horas. Después de analizar varios estudios, podemos comprobar que la información que tiene la población, especialmente la adolescente, sobre el uso correcto de la anticoncepción de urgencias es muy escasa y, en muchas de las ocasiones, errónea. Puesto que todas las personas tienen el derecho de acceder a una información completa y de buena calidad sobre sexualidad, salud sexual y reproductiva, es primordial que se desarrolle un programa de educación para la salud sobre los diferentes métodos anticonceptivos disponibles para este colectivo. Una educación grupal en institutos, foros y otros puntos de ámbito local y la atención individual en consulta ambulatoria nos permitirán prevenir los múltiples problemas relacionados con este tema. Añadido a lo anterior, es muy importante una educación en el momento de la administración del fármaco para su uso correcto y así reducir efectos secundarios y disminuir las reincidencias en su consumo. Para ellos es imprescindible la labor de enfermería.Grado en Enfermería2018-09-2

    Depression-related difficulties disengaging from negative faces are associated with sustained attention to negative feedback during social evaluation and predict stress recovery

    The present study aimed to clarify: 1) the presence of depression-related attention bias related to a social stressor, 2) its association with depression-related attention biases as measured under standard conditions, and 3) their association with impaired stress recovery in depression. A sample of 39 participants reporting a broad range of depression levels completed a standard eye-tracking paradigm in which they had to engage/disengage their gaze with/from emotional faces. Participants then underwent a stress induction (i.e., giving a speech), in which their eye movements to false emotional feedback were measured, and stress reactivity and recovery were assessed. Depression level was associated with longer times to engage/disengage attention with/from negative faces under standard conditions and with sustained attention to negative feedback during the speech. These depression-related biases were associated and mediated the association between depression level and self-reported stress recovery, predicting lower recovery from stress after giving the speech

    ROI. Measuring the social media return on investment in a library

    Purpose: In all projections for 2011, ROI has become of the great challenges of social media marketing for the business environment. However in the case of non-profit organizations, there is no need for such calculations. It is not as necessary to know how the effort made in these media compares to the benefits that can be obtained. This paper aims to compare the parameters governing social media ROI at an enterprise level and at the level of non-profit institutions. Additionally, the use of social media tools in a strategic plan and to save costs in the institution is discussed. Design/methodology/approach: Where ROI is defined as a mere indicator of return on investment, it involves the direct costs and revenues of each transaction. Combining the world of social media marketing, which is full of intangibles, with the current crisis makes knowing "real" return one of the greatest current needs. When demanding returns from institutions that have never been analyzed from this standpoint, it is important to understand how a tool like this can be used to justify an entity's visibility, brand improvement and ultimately, an increase in the institution's quality and use by users. Also, it should be taken into account that while in 2010 branding was the primary goal of communication in social media, this year in view of the increasingly endemic crisis, a ROI analysis can help an institution to evidence how the cost savings inherent in using these as opposed to former marketing tools substantiate their use. However, this interest involves a great risk of simplification. Findings: The analysis used to measure ROI can follow these lines: The consumption by previous users can be compared with that of current arrivals on the network. Comparisons can be made between the behavior of a user prior to following the library on social media and after doing so. The extent to which the success of new developments, events etc. has improved after being communicated in social networks can be measured. The influence of brand perception on users' consumption and the extent to which the new media have changed this perception can be measured. Originality/value: Conducting a ROI analysis of a library's social media marketing campaign can help it evaluate various aspects in the library. Social media can be considered as an interesting information dissemination tool requiring only minimal effort which can be used by the library to promote reading and publicize its informational and cultural efforts. Social media can also be used as dynamic, provision of service and marketing resources with a clear reduction in costs compared to other more traditional types of advertising and publicizing. Given that in the management of these tools, it is the contents and ideas that are essential rather than the economic resources available, social media are particularly useful for small and medium libraries as they provide the possibility of increasing the visibility of the institution and improving its service and its users' experience. Opening a new channel of communication with users on the internet is a challenge for libraries that can be optimized with the development of a strategy for the use of social media. The library should make an effort to manage these resources efficiently and obtain the largest possible return on their use. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.Lloret Romero, MN. (2011). ROI.

    In recent years it has become common to hear about the virtues and benefits of the so-called ¿cloud¿ for the use of corporate software. Although the use of the cloud in the business environment has already transformed the concept of data storage and resource management, its use in the field of libraries and information centers is somewhat less widespread. This article aims to outline its benefits and drawbacks.Lloret Romero, MN. (2012). 'Cloud computing' in library automation: benefits and drawbacks.

Siendo un tema de actualidad y teniendo un uso creciente en la enseñanza, se consideró adecuado abordar el temadesde una perspectiva práctica.This article introduces work carried out by the Department of Documentation and History of Art at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, the Library at this university and the Florida Centre de Formació university Library; the work is the result of a project funded by the Secretaría de Estado de Universidades and is now accessible at http://www.biblioteca-digital.net. The work starts from the scant written, standardized information on the planning and setting up of digital libraries available in this country. Owing to its being a matter of great interest at the present time and of growing use in teaching, it was thought appropriate to approach the subject from a practical viewpoint. The following topics are described and developed: Analysis of the initial condition at the center. Auto evaluation Project planning methodology. Study of costs of setting up a digital library. Study of possibilities of collaborative work with consortiums and with the different member libraries. Legal requirements for the setting up of a digital library system. The conclusion reached is that there is a need for more experience in the field of digital libraries and the professional community is encouraged to make suggestions about the project

    Las portadas : un escaparate al mundo de las revistas femeninas para adolescentes

    Get PDF
    Las revistas constituyen el tipo de prensa más leídoen la actualidad, por delante de otros medios escritos como los diarios o los suplementos. Estas publicaciones presentan una serie de características como la periodicidad, la selectividad de la audiencia a la que van dirigidas o el cuidado del diseño y los aspectos formales, lo que las convierten en un producto muy atractivo para los lectores. En el caso de las revistas juveniles femeninas, elementos como los colores de la portada, el lenguaje utilizado en el discurso o los personajes famosos que aparecen representados en las imágenes de la cubierta, son indicadores de cuáles son los contenidos que podemos encontrar en el interior y que van a cumplir una significativa función como reclamo para las lectoras a la hora de decantarse por la elección de una cabecera u otra

    PVF1/PVR signaling and apoptosis promotes the rotation and dorsal closure of the Drosophila male terminalia

    Get PDF
    The Drosophila adult male terminalia originate from the genital disc. During the pupal stages, the external parts of terminalia evert from two ventral stalks; the everted left and right dorsal halves fuse at the dorsal midline. At the same time the male terminalia perform a 360 clockwise rotation. Several mutations are known to affect the rotation of the male terminalia, while none is known to affect dorsal closure. We show here that the Pvf1 gene, encoding one of the three Drosophila homologues of the mammalian VEGF/PDGF growth factors, is required for both processes. Males either mutant for Pvf1 or bearing a dominant negative form of Pvr or stasis (stai), the unique PVF receptor, do not complete either rotation or dorsal closure. Pvf1 expression in the genital disc is restricted to the A8 cells. However, PVF1/PVR signaling influences A8, A9 and A10 cells, suggesting that the PVF1 protein diffuses from its source. Flies hemizygous for the apoptotic genes hid, reaper and grim, or mutant for puckered which encodes a phosphatase that down-regulates the n-Jun-N terminal kinase pathway, lead to the same phenotypes as mutations in PVF1/PVR. Our results indicate that PVF1/PVR signaling functions not only in apoptotic phenomena but are also required during rotation and dorsal closure of the Drosophila male genital disc.Fil: Macias, Ana Maria.
