Equilibrio de Nash para un problema de control multiobjetivo relacionado con la depuraci´on de aguas residuales

En este trabajo, formulamos, estudiamos y resolvemos numéricamente un problema de control multiobjetivo relacionado con la gestión de la depuración de un sistema de aguas residuales. Planteamos el problema de la gestión óptima como la búsqueda de un equilibrio de Nash. Analizamos este problema, probamos un resultado de existencia de un equilibrio de Nash y establecemos un sistema de optimalidad de primer orden que caracteriza los equilibrios de Nash, para lo cual introducimos el estado adjunto. Finalmente, presentamos los resultados numéricos obtenidos en una situación realista planteada en la ría de Vigo

Economic Problems and Loneliness as Factors Related to Subjective Unmet Health Needs in People with Chronic Diseases and Dependency

Background: The continuous increase of people with chronic diseases is one of the greatest challenges for healthcare systems worldwide. Population growth and life expectancy means that an increasing number of people with chronic diseases and dependency need some kind of assistance to meet their needs. Determining these subjective unmet needs helps to understand the situation of these people. The aim of this study was to explore the perceptions of chronic patients over 65 years of age from the day-care center toward subjective health needs that are not being met by the socio-health system. Methods: Qualitative exploratory-descriptive study. Through convenience sampling, we selected people with chronic diseases and dependency who used day-care centers and met the inclusion criteria. Focus groups were performed. The data were transcribed and a thematic analysis was carried out using Atlas.ti software. Results: The topics resulting from the analysis were classified into dissatisfaction of biological/physiological needs, psychological needs, social needs, and other issues that arose in both groups of participants which referred to the types of needs previously indicated. The issues related to social and psycho-social needs stood out. Conclusions: People with chronic diseases and dependency have their physiological needs covered with the help they receive, but their situation of dependency generates additional costs that worsen their economic situation. However, their greatest need is due to the loneliness they feel and the feeling they have of “being a burden” on their families

Pollutant Concentration Changes During the COVID-19 Lockdown in Barcelona and Surrounding Regions: Modification of Diurnal Cycles and Limited Role of Meteorological Conditions

One of the consequences of the COVID-19 lockdowns has been the modification of the air quality in many cities around the world. This study focuses on the variations in pollutant concentrations and how important meteorological conditions were for those variations in Barcelona and the surrounding area during the 2020 lockdown. Boundary-layer height, wind speed, and precipitation were compared between mid-March and April 2016-2019 (prelockdown) and the same period in 2020 (during lockdown). The results show the limited influence of meteorological factors on horizontal and vertical dispersion conditions. Compared with the pre-lockdown period, during lockdown the boundary-layer height slightly increased by between 5% and 9%, mean wind speed was very similar, and the fraction of days with rainfall increased only marginally, from 0.33 to 0.34, even though April 2020 was extremely wet in the study area. Variations in nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter with a diameter less than 10 μm (PM10), and ozone (O3) concentrations over a 10-year period showed a 66% reduction in NO2, 37% reduction in PM10, and 27% increase in O3 at a traffi

Evaluation of the awareness of novel advanced therapies among family medicine residents in Spain

Advanced therapies are increasingly demanded by patients with the intent of treating some incurable conditions. Because family medicine professionals play an important role as health educators, their residency programs should incorporate new knowledge related to advanced therapies. To successfully implement these programs, how family medicine residents perceive these therapies should be investigated. The main components of perception, i.e. conceptual, procedural and attitudinal, refer to knowledge, skills and feelings, respectively. We designed a specific questionnaire to assess the components of perceptions of advanced therapies in 300 medical residents enrolled in the Spanish National Family Medicine Residency Program. Each component consisted of 4 or 5 topics and each topic contained 6 items. Respondents scored highest in the procedural component (average 4.12±1.00), followed by the attitudinal (3.94±1.07) and conceptual component (3.04±1.43). Differences among the three components were statistically significant (p<0.00017). Family medicine residents perceived that procedures to implement advanced therapies are well established, especially their application. However, they felt their cognitive background was insufficient to respond efficiently to the expectations generated by these new therapeutic tools, especially in the regulatory framework. High awareness of the risks and limitations of these treatments was reflected by residents’ preference for clinically tested therapies. Although they appropriately situated treatment with these therapies within hospital care, they associated the biofabrication of novel products with research centers, although these therapeutic tools can be produced in different facilities. These results are potentially useful for designing future training programs and health policies for family medicine residents, and suggest the need to implement specific training programs in advanced therapies at the conceptual, procedural and attitudinal level.This work was supported by CTS-115 (Tissue Engineering Group), Junta de Andalucia

Recursos digitales para la representación de cuerpos en axonometría ortogonal y oblicua: Aprendizaje de la asignatura de formación básica‘Expresión Gráfica’ en los Grados de Ingeniería

[SPA] El objetivo de esta comunicación es desarrollar conceptos de asignaturas propias del área de Expresión Gráfica en la Ingeniería dentro de los Grados de Ingeniería mediante recursos digitales, tras detectar problemas de comprensión de conceptos en el alumnado. En concreto, se ha desarrollado la metodología de representación de cuerpos en el sistema perspectivo de representación más utilizado como es la axonometría, tanto ortogonal como oblicua, obteniendo como resultados recursos docentes en formato digital para su difusión en plataformas E-Learning. Particularmente, se han implementado paso a paso y para un mismo cuerpo, los 3 métodos de representación gráfica para la obtención de una perspectiva axonométrica tanto ortogonal como oblicua: el método de graduación de los ejes axonométricos, el de obtención de los ángulos que forman los ejes axonométricos con Plano del Cuadro o plano de proyección, y el de abatimiento y traslación de los planos coordenados.[ENG] The aim of this paper is to develop concepts of subjects in the area of Engineering Graphics within the Engineering Degrees by digital resources. Specifically, the methodology to represent bodies in axonometric perspective has been developed, after detecting problems understanding concepts in students.. This representation system is the most often used as both orthogonal and oblique axonometry perspective, obtaining as a result some digital teaching resources for E-Learning platforms. Particular, and for the same body, it have been implemented step by step, the three methods for obtaining graphical representation of both orthogonal and oblique axonometric perspective: the method of graduation axonometric axes, that of obtaining the angles formed by the axonometric axes with projection plane, and abatement and translation of the coordinate planes
