Poética

POÉTICA es un sistema gráfico que transcribe visualmente la poesía lírica. El sistema analiza de manera automatizada los sentimientos que expresa el autor en el poema. El proyecto quiere fusionar la poesía lírica con la tecnología digital para conseguir un resultado visual y comunicativo que resalte las similitudes y diferencias entre los diferentes poemas y autores. Se sistematizan los sentimientos para que a través de un software se pueda interpretar cualquier poema lírico de una manera objetiva y completamente racional. El sistema se aplica a una colección editorial formada por tres obras poéticas de tres autores diferentes para entender visualmente las diferencias que existen entre ellos. Las obras y los autores elegidos son: Soledades de Antonio Machado, Romancero Gitano de Federico García Lorca y Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada de Pablo Neruda.POÈTICA és un sistema gràfic que transcriu visualment la poesia lírica.

Methicillin-resistant and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus in pork industry workers, Catalonia, Spain

Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) especially ST398, is a zoonotic agent. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and MRSA among workers in the pork production chain. 659 workers associated with 123 pig farms, livestock transporters, one pig slaughterhouse, pork transporters and 23 pork butcheries were studied for S. aureus recovery, and all isolates were characterized (antibiotic resistance, MLST and spa -typing). The prevalence of S. aureus was 35.5%, 75.6% of isolates being MRSA. The prevalence of MRSA was 68.7% (149/217) among pig farm, 33.9% (19/56) livestock transporters, 2.9% (9/306) slaughterhouse, 0% in pork transporters (0/36) and butchery workers (0/44). Of the 234 S. aureus -positive workers, 100% (149/149) of pig farm workers, 82.6% (19/23) of livestock transporters, and 16.4% (9/55) of slaughterhouse workers carried MRSA isolates (p < 0.001). Of the workers who had contact with live swine, 61.8% (178/288) were S. aureus -positive, MRSA being detected in 96.1% of cases (p < 0.001). The most frequent lineage among MRSA were: ST398 (97.7%; 173/177) and ST1 (1.7%; 3/177); and among MSSA were ST30 (19.2%; 11/57) and ST5 (10.5%; 6/57). The most frequent spa -types among MRSA were t011 (93.8%, 166/177) and t1451 (2.25%, 4/177), and among MSSA: t084 (10.5%, 6/57) and t021 (7.0%, 4/57). All MRSA isolates showed resistance to tetracycline, 92.7% to clindamycin, 81.9% to erythromycin and 40.1% to cotrimoxazole. Pig industry workers having occupational contact with live animals present a high risk of colonization of MRSA, especially by MRSA-ST398. Prevention measures should be intensified in any employment sector involving live animals

Last deglacial reorganization of the western Mediterranean thermohaline circulation: evidences from sedimentological and Nd isotopes proxies

Last glacial/interglacial transition involved significant changes in western Mediterranean (Med) thermohaline circulation that culminated with the formation of an organic rich layer (ORL) in the Alboran Sea from 14.5 to 9 ka BP. This event pre-dated the eastern Med stagnation associated with the Last Sapropel (S1: 10.8-7.1 kyr BP). Here we aim to gain in the understanding that those two events had in the oceanography of the westernmost Med and ultimately its impact on the Med outflow waters (MOW). Our approach combines sedimentological indicators (grain-size and XRF-core scanner data) with Nd isotopes measured in foraminifera diagenetic coatings as a proxy of water mass source. The studied material includes a set of cores covering a depth range from the Alboran Sea (from 300 to 1800 m) combined with a core from the Balearic Basin and another from the Gulf of Cadiz..
