La competencia emocional en personas con sordera

The present review aims to develop an approach to the knowledge of the emotional world that is experiencing the pupils with deafness (with or without cochlear implant), mainly in those aspects related to the emotional competence, as are the identification, management, understanding and expression of emotions. Throughout this work is analyzed ten studies carried out in different parts of the world that deal with this subject, together with contributions from other research or authors that are related to the same, developing to turn a comparison with the students listener in regard to these competencies. It is also deepened in the need to develop these emotional skills in the school and in this collective especially, recalling that the harmonious development of every being is an intrinsic relationship with the field of emotion that conforms him.La presente revisión pretende desarrollar un acercamiento hacia el conocimiento del mundo emocional que experimenta el alumnado con sordera (con o sin implante coclear), fundamentalmente en aquellos aspectos relativos a la competencia emocional, como resultan la identificación, gestión, comprensión y expresión de emociones. A lo largo del presente trabajo se analizarán diez estudios llevados a cabo en diferentes partes del mundo que abordan esta temática, junto con aportaciones de otras investigaciones o autores que guardan relación con la misma, desarrollando a su vez una comparación con el alumnado oyente en lo que se refiere a dichas competencias. Asimismo, se profundiza en la necesidad de desarrollar estas habilidades emocionales en la escuela y en este colectivo especialmente, recordando que el desarrollo armónico de cada ser constituye una intrínseca relación con el ámbito emotivo que lo conforma

Effect of forest management on plant species diversity in Castanea sativa stands in Salamanca (Spain) and the Cévennes (France).

For the last centuries, marked land use changes have taken place throughout the Mediterranean region. These changes have a great impact on plant diversity, variations of which can affect in return ecosystem functioning. This is particularly true for sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) stands (groves or coppices) that have been more or less abandoned since the end of the last century. Thus, our objective was to analyse the consequences of various management types on plant species diversity, or to analyse if the land use changes may affect the diversity of plant species in chestnut areas of Southern Europe: in chestnut stands of the Honfría forest, located in the South of Salamanca province in Spain, and in the Cévennes in Southern France. Results indicate that plant species diversity is higher in groves than in coppice stands. Cultivated groves were generally characterized by small heliophilous therophytes, and abandoned groves by hemicryptophytes with anemochorous dispersal mode and chamaephytes. Coppice stands were characterized more particularly by phanerophytes with zoochorous dispersal mode. Thus, plant species diversity differs according to management types. The 17% of common species were found between the two Mediterranean areas studied. This difference can be explained by different ecological conditions (elevation, soil type), different management types (grove, coppice stand), and different stand characteristics (shoot density, diameter at breast height). The cultivated grove plots were very different from the other stands that constituted one sub-group. In the Honfría forest, the values of Jaccard index indicated that the cultivated grove had a plant species composition very different from the other stands. In the Cévennes, the lowest values of the Jaccard index were also found between the cultivated grove and the other stands. One solution could be to maintain a landscape mosaic constituted of diverse chestnut stands modified by human activities (chestnut groves, abandoned chestnut groves and chestnut coppice stands). This could allow the enhancement of the high regional plant diversity.We thank the European Union (MANCHEST QLK5-CT- 2001 – 00029 z contracts, DG XII, for financial support).Peer reviewe

Effect of intensity and duration of anthropic noises on European mink locomotor activity and fecal cortisol metabolite levels

Human activities involving noise emission can affect wild animals. European mink was exposed to road noise and human voice playbacks to analyze how sound intensity level and duration of both noises altered the time that individuals were active and if their fecal cortisol metabolite (FCM) levels varied. A Hierarchical Analysis Cluster was performed to establish 2 mink groups with respect to both noise source type: short duration/low intensity (SL) and long duration/high intensity (LH). We performed general linear mixed models to evaluate the variation in locomotor activity duration (s) and FCM (nanogram per gram) levels, respectively. The results showed both road noise and human voices decreased locomotor activity duration in SL more sharply compared with LH, and human voices were the triggers that induced the most pronounced response to both exposure conditions. FCM (ng/g) levels increased in SL compared with LH during road noise while the opposite happened during human voices. Differences based on sex and age of individuals were observed. In conclusion, noise characteristics given by the sound type determined the variations in locomotor activity duration while noise exposure level determined the variations in FCM (ng/g) levels. Attention should be paid to noisy activities (e.g., recreational activities for visitors in protected natural areas) and loud groups of people to conserve wildlife, especially noise sensitive specie

Structural characterization of Au nano bipyramids: Reshaping under thermal annealing, the capping agent effect and surface decoration with Pt

Anisotropic gold nanoparticles offer potential applications due to their functionalities and shape-dependent properties. Reshaping noble metal nanoparticles is an interesting field with optical, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, catalytic applications and potential application as a photothermic therapy. This work comprises a structural study on gold nano bipyramids (Au NBPs) and nanodumbbells, and the evolution of Au NBPs capped with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and dodecanethiol through an in situ and ex situ heating process in high vacuum. Also, we study the reshaping of Au NBPs by the addition of Pt to study the surface modification and the strain generated on a single particle by geometric phase analysis.Fil: Torresan, Maria Fernanda.

Relationship between dental and periodontal health status and the salivary microbiome: bacterial diversity, co-occurrence networks and predictive models

The present study used 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing to assess the impact on salivary microbiome of different grades of dental and periodontal disease and the combination of both (hereinafter referred to as oral disease), in terms of bacterial diversity, co-occurrence network patterns and predictive models. Our scale of overall oral health was used to produce a convenience sample of 81 patients from 270 who were initially recruited. Saliva samples were collected from each participant. Sequencing was performed in Illumina MiSeq with 2 × 300 bp reads, while the raw reads were processed according to the Mothur pipeline. The statistical analysis of the 16S rDNA sequencing data at the species level was conducted using the phyloseq, DESeq2, Microbiome, SpiecEasi, igraph, MixOmics packages. The simultaneous presence of dental and periodontal pathology has a potentiating effect on the richness and diversity of the salivary microbiota. The structure of the bacterial community in oral health differs from that present in dental, periodontal or oral disease, especially in high grades. Supragingival dental parameters influence the microbiota’s abundance more than subgingival periodontal parameters, with the former making a greater contribution to the impact that oral health has on the salivary microbiome. The possible keystone OTUs are different in the oral health and disease, and even these vary between dental and periodontal disease: half of them belongs to the core microbiome and are independent of the abundance parameters. The salivary microbiome, involving a considerable number of OTUs, shows an excellent discriminatory potential for distinguishing different grades of dental, periodontal or oral disease; considering the number of predictive OTUs, the best model is that which predicts the combined dental and periodontal statusThis investigation was supported by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (General Division of Evaluation and Research Promotion, Madrid, Spain) and co-financed by FEDER (“A way of making Europe”) under grant ISCIII/PI17/01722, and the CESPU under grants MVOS2016 and MVOS-PT-IINFACTS-2019S

Oxaliplatin–Biomimetic Magnetic Nanoparticle Assemblies for Colon Cancer-Targeted Chemotherapy: An In Vitro Study

Conventional chemotherapy against colorectal cancer (CRC), the third most common cancer in the world, includes oxaliplatin (Oxa) which induces serious unwanted side effects that limit the efficiency of treatment. Therefore, alternative therapeutic approaches are urgently required. In this work, biomimetic magnetic nanoparticles (BMNPs) mediated by MamC were coupled to Oxa to evaluate the potential of the Oxa–BMNP nanoassembly for directed local delivery of the drug as a proof of concept for the future development of targeted chemotherapy against CRC. Electrostatic interactions between Oxa and BMNPs trigger the formation of the nanoassembly and keep it stable at physiological pH. When the BMNPs become neutral at acidic pH values, the Oxa is released, and such a release is greatly potentiated by hyperthermia. The coupling of the drug with the BMNPs improves its toxicity to even higher levels than the soluble drug, probably because of the fast internalization of the nanoassembly by tumor cells through endocytosis. In addition, the BMNPs are cytocompatible and non-hemolytic, providing positive feedback as a proof of concept for the nanoassembly. Our study clearly demonstrates the applicability of Oxa–BMNP in colon cancer and offers a promising nanoassembly for targeted chemotherapy against this type of tumor.This work was also supported by the Consejería de Salud de la Junta de Andalucía (projects PI-0476-2016 and PI-0102-2017).
