Spanish’s experience on improving inspection of sprayers: official manual for ISO 16122 and ISO 16119

Mandatory inspections in Spain are organized following ISO 16122. In order to guarantee a clear and comprehensive inspection’s procedure in all of the official inspection’s workshops, the Spanish Ministry of Agriculture published an official inspection’s manual based on ISO 16122 in order to improve and harmonize the process. On the other hand, and considering the more and more cases of new sprayers with difficulties to fulfill the mandatory inspections requirements, an official manual for sprayer’s manufacturers have been published in collaboration with the Spanish Association of Agricultural Machinery Manufacturers (ANSEMAT) giving them a practical document to fulfill the requirements established in ISO 16119. Both documents have been written by the research team of UMA-UPC. In this paper will be presented the objectives, structure and success of the two official manuals.Mandatory inspections in Spain are organized following ISO 16122.

Closed flow solar dehydration with the use of silver nanoparticles: Application for the production of Pouteria lucuma flour

In this research, a closed-flow solar dehydrator with a refrigeration moisture extraction system was evaluated, likewise, the dehydration temperature time was optimized by evaluating three types of heat transfer fluids. The dehydration equipment included devices to absorb thermal energy from incident sunlight, such as a trombe wall and a parabolic cylindrical collector, and a thermo bank system. In addition, the influence of three types of heat transfer fluids (water, oil and oil nanofluidþsilver nanoparticles) was evaluated. This dehydration system was applied to process the Pouteria lucuma fruit. The results indicate the reduction of the dehydration time by 58.19% using nanofluid. This treatment prevents the modification of the physicochemical properties of the product and helps preserving its organoleptic propertiesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Uso de gafas con cámara para la supervisión de estudiantes y residentes en la atención a pacientes.

Introducción: El uso de nuevas tecnologías está en auge desde hace ya varias décadas, aplicándose en varios campos. No hay aún demasiada evidencia de su uso en docencia médica, aunque artículos recientes han empezado a utilizar el “eye tracking” o seguimiento de mirada para supervisión y docencia con estudiantes de medicina. Material y métodos: Se trata de un estudio exploratorio piloto en el que se pretende conocer la oportunidad que ofrece la supervisión semipresencial en la formación médica. Para realizar las grabaciones (previo consentimiento de los pacientes) se han utilizado unas gafas Tobii 3. Tras ello, se realizaron encuestas a médicos docentes y médicos en formación para conocer el grado de aceptabilidad de ambas partes y si creían posible la implantación de este tipo de docencia en un futuro. Resultados: La mayoría de los encuestados creyeron que es un método útil para otorgar autonomía al residente/estudiante. Además, casi la totalidad de los médicos docentes consideraron que las imágenes obtenidas podrían ser de utilidad para la docencia en las aulas. Por otro lado, una de las limitaciones que sugieren los encuestados es la posible incomodidad tanto por parte del médico que lleve las gafas, como del paciente, lo que podría conllevar una posible reducción de la información proporcionada por este último. Conclusiones: Nuestro estudio, al igual que la literatura ya existente, muestra resultados esperanzadores en cuanto al uso de las nuevas tecnologías para hacer docencia con métodos más novedosos y efectivos, aunque se necesita más diversidad de investigación acerca de este tema y, por supuesto, una mayor inversión económica, que repercutirá directamente en una mayor seguridad del paciente.Introduction: The use of latest technologies is taking off since some decades ago, using them in much fields. There is not too much evidence about the use in medical teaching, although newly-made studies have used eye tracking to supervise and teach medical students. Material and methods: This is an exploratory experimental study, and we want to know the opportunity that blended supervision in medical training offers. We have used Tobii 3 glasses to make the recordings (prior informed consent of the patient). Then, we surveyed assistant doctors and doctors in training to know the acceptability of this method and if they think if possible to institute this type of teaching in the future. Results: Most of the ones polled affirmed that the use of this technology could give autonomy to doctors in training in their daily activities. What is more, almost all the assistant doctors believed that the images obtained in recordings could be used in classroom teaching. Additionally, as a disadvantage, the survey respondents said that both patients and doctors in training could feel a little bit uncomfortable with the use of the glasses, and this could diminish the information provided by the patient. Conclusions: Our study, just like current scientific literature, shows encouraged results regarding the use of new technologies in medical teaching, although more studies are needed. And, of course, a greater economic investment, which will have a direct impact on greater patient safety

Analysis of large-scale photospheric dynamics during the solar cycle 24.

The analysis of the movements of the solar photosphere has been used by several authors to study the dynamics of solar plasma at various spatial and temporal scales. This work, in particular, is focused on the study of vertical movements, in order to perform a statistical analysis of the flow maps to characterize some dynamic aspects of the photospheric plasma along the time evolution of the Sun. To carry out this analysis, we used a set of images obtained by the HMI instrument HMI (Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager) aboard the SDO mission (Solar Dynamics Observatory) to which local correlation tracking algorithms (LCT) were applied. they allow the identification of areas of convergence and divergence of the plasma at certain time intervals during the solar cycle 24, thus covering moments of high and low solar activity. The study gives us the reason for the meridional movements showing that in low latitudes the outgoing emergency flow occupied a higher percentage of area, while in the latitudes near the poles the behavior changes, that is, the incoming flows occupy a greater area.The analysis of the movements of the solar photosphere has been used by several authors to study the dynamics of solar plasma at various spatial and temporal scales.

INTRAINDIVUAL VARIABILITY OF THE MOVEMENT PATTERNS IN EXPERT HANDBALL THROWERS

The aim of this study was to compare players’ intra-individual variability in the throwing movement pattern in support, throwing to the four corners of the goal, and in the presence of the goalkeeper in handball. Four players from the Spanish first division participated as subjects, plus seven goalkeepers. The start of the goalkeepers’ movements was recorded from a force platform with a frequency of 500 Hz, while the throw was videotaped by two video cameras synchronized at the same frequency with the force platform. The variability in the movement pattern faked the goalkeepers. The kinetic chain is proximal-distal (P-D) a temporal sequence orientated to reduce the stress in the joint of the shoulder. The inertia of the trunk reduced the time of execution and determined the instant of throwing depending on the goalkeeper´s movements
