The accreditation of centres for elderly people in a situation of dependency: a tool at the service of employment and care quality
La presente investigación pretende analizar el desarrollo normativo autonómico sobre acreditación de centros residenciales y diurnos / nocturnos destinados a personas mayores en situación de dependencia, de manera concreta, en materia de recursos humanos. La acreditación se configura como instrumento de calidad asistencial y generación de empleo.
Se estudia el Acuerdo del Consejo Territorial del SAAD de 27/11/2008 (modificado parcialmente el 7/10/2015), donde se fijan criterios comunes sobre titulación y formación directiva, ratios mínimas de plantilla global y específica para Gerocultor/a o similar. Se configura la base normativa que cada Comunidad Autónoma deberá desarrollar o adaptar en el marco de su competencia. Transcurrido el tiempo, se constata cómo el Acuerdo apenas ha sido desarrollado en cada ámbito territorial, se mantiene vigente en algunas autonomías la normativa preexistente y existe disparidad autonómica sobre requisitos de plantillas mínimas globales y específicas.This research aims to analyse the regulatory development of the autonomous regions on the accreditation of residential centres and day/night centres for elderly people in a situation of dependency, specifically, in human resources. The accreditation is configured as an instrument of care quality and job creation. It is studied the Agreement of the Territorial Council of the SAAD of 27/11/2008 (partially modified on the 7/10/2015), where the common criteria on qualification and complementary training, minimum ratios of global and specific staff for geriatric caregivers or similar are established. The normative basis that each Autonomous Community will have to develop or adapt within the framework of their competence is configured. As time has gone by, it is verified how the Agreement has barely been developed in each territorial area, the preexisting regulations are still in force in some of the autonomous regions and there is a disparity in the requirements of the minimum global and specific staff in the different autonomous regions
The impact on the economic benefits of the spanish dependency system of deductible complements of analogue nature and purpose
En el presente trabajo se analiza la relación entre prestaciones económicas derivas del
sistema de dependencia español (cuidados en el entorno familiar y apoyo a cuidadores
no profesionales, vinculada al servicio, asistente personal) y los complementos
deducibles de análoga naturaleza y finalidad.
Tras las simulaciones efectuadas, se aprecia la importante merma que sufre la prestación
para cuidados familiares, sin contenido económico en determinados supuestos, situación
coherente con el carácter excepcional de esta modalidad. De igual modo, la menor
influencia en las prestaciones vinculadas al servicio y asistente personal, al ser los
importes iniciales más elevados.The present paper analyzes the relationship between economic benefits derived from the
Spanish dependency system (care of the family environment and support to nonprofessional
carers, linked to the service, personal assistant) and the deductible
complements of analogous nature and purpose.
After the simulations carried out, it is possible to appreciate the important reduction
suffered by the provision for family care, without content in certain cases, a situation
consistent with the exceptional nature of this modality. Similarly, the lower influence
on the benefits linked to the service and personal assistant, since the initial amounts are
higher
The resolution of retirement pension to Moroccan workers with cross-border authorization
En este documento se analiza el procedimiento de reconocimiento de la pensión de
jubilación de los empleados marroquíes con autorización de trabajo transfronteriza en
Ceuta y Melilla, respecto de las provincias limítrofes de Tetuán y Nador,
respectivamente. El marco de referencia es el Convenio de Seguridad Social celebrado
entre España y Marruecos en 1979.
Dado que el trabajador transfronterizo no obtiene autorización de residencia, una vez
reconocida la pensión de jubilación, se producen singularidades en materia tributaria y
en el acceso a complementos que garanticen una pensión mínima.This document analyzes the procedure for the recognition of the retirement pension of
Moroccan employees with cross-border work authorization in Ceuta and Melilla, with
respect to the provinces bordering Tetuán and Nador, respectively.
Since the cross-border worker does not obtain a residence permit, once the retirement
pension is recognized, there are singularities in tax matters and access to complements
that guarantee a minimum pension

normativa española sobre dependencia. Se analizan las peculiaridades en materia de
reconocimiento del derecho, valoración y asignación de programas.This document examines the special position of minors in spanish regulations on
dependency. The peculiarities in terms of recognition of the right, valuation and
assignment of programs are analyzed
Archaeological excavations in prehistoric sites of the Blue Nile area, Central Sudan. Excavaciones arqueológicas en yacimientos prehistóricos del Nilo Azul, Sudán Central
Resultados de las excavaciones en dos yacimientos mesolíticos, uno de la zona del río (Sheikh Mustafa- 1, fechado por carbono-14 en c. 7705-7600 bp) y otro en Wadi Soba (El Mahalab, c. 7705-6940 bp), y un yacimiento neolítico inicial del wadi (Sheikh el Amin, c. 5555-4590 bp), con análisis exhaustivos de estratigrafías, cerámicas, materiales líticos y otros hallazgos, usando métodos multivariantes (componentes principales, análisis factorial). Aunque la erosión ha afectado parcialmente a los sitios mesolíticos, se recuperaron importantes datos sobre la evolución cultural regional del VIII al V milenio bp, cuyas líneas de cambio van desde cerámicas nilóticas con líneas onduladas incisas a tipos saharianos on impresiones de líneas rectas y punteadas, y desde puntas de dorso y segmentos strechos a segmentos nchos que reflejan el paso de la pesca y caza mayor a la caza menor. La pesca pierde mportancia rogresivamente a lo largo del periodo de los tres yacimientos, mientras que la recolección vegetal, inferible a partir de los morteros, aumenta continuadamente para empezar a decrecer al final antes del paso a una economía pastoril nómada.Extensive excavations were carried out in two Mesolithic sites, in the river area (Sheikh Mustafa-1, radiocarbon dated to c. 7930-7600 bp) and in the Wadi Soba zone (El Mahalab, c. 7705-6940 bp), and at a wadi Early Neolithic site (Sheikh el Amin, c. 5555-4590 bp). The results of comprehensive analysis of stratigraphical conditions, pottery and lithic material and other cultural types are presented. Multivariate methods such as principal component and rotated factor analysis have been applied to quantitative data from excavated sectors and squares at the three sites. Even though the Mesolithic sites are partially deflated, significant information was gathered on the cultural evolution in the area during the 8th – 5th millennia bp. The inferred scenario presents several change trends: from specifically Nilotic pottery decoration (incised wavy line) to Saharan types such as impressed rocker and dotted wavy line, from lithic backed points and narrow lunates, used for fishing and hunting big game, to wide lunates for the hunting of smaller game. Fishing importance decreased along the whole period of the three sites. Plant gathering, deduced from grinders frequency, increased to a maximum during the Neolithic but a decrease is inferable for the latter phases of this period when the transition begun to a pastoralist way of life
Collocation analysis for UMLS knowledge-based word sense disambiguation
BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of knowledge-based word sense disambiguation (WSD) approaches depends in part on the information available in the reference knowledge resource. Off the shelf, these resources are not optimized for WSD and might lack terms to model the context properly. In addition, they might include noisy terms which contribute to false positives in the disambiguation results. METHODS: We analyzed some collocation types which could improve the performance of knowledge-based disambiguation methods. Collocations are obtained by extracting candidate collocations from MEDLINE and then assigning them to one of the senses of an ambiguous word. We performed this assignment either using semantic group profiles or a knowledge-based disambiguation method. In addition to collocations, we used second-order features from a previously implemented approach.Specifically, we measured the effect of these collocations in two knowledge-based WSD methods. The first method, AEC, uses the knowledge from the UMLS to collect examples from MEDLINE which are used to train a Naïve Bayes approach. The second method, MRD, builds a profile for each candidate sense based on the UMLS and compares the profile to the context of the ambiguous word.We have used two WSD test sets which contain disambiguation cases which are mapped to UMLS concepts. The first one, the NLM WSD set, was developed manually by several domain experts and contains words with high frequency occurrence in MEDLINE. The second one, the MSH WSD set, was developed automatically using the MeSH indexing in MEDLINE. It contains a larger set of words and covers a larger number of UMLS semantic types. RESULTS: The results indicate an improvement after the use of collocations, although the approaches have different performance depending on the data set. In the NLM WSD set, the improvement is larger for the MRD disambiguation method using second-order features. Assignment of collocations to a candidate sense based on UMLS semantic group profiles is more effective in the AEC method.In the MSH WSD set, the increment in performance is modest for all the methods. Collocations combined with the MRD disambiguation method have the best performance. The MRD disambiguation method and second-order features provide an insignificant change in performance. The AEC disambiguation method gives a modest improvement in performance. Assignment of collocations to a candidate sense based on knowledge-based methods has better performance. CONCLUSIONS: Collocations improve the performance of knowledge-based disambiguation methods, although results vary depending on the test set and method used. Generally, the AEC method is sensitive to query drift. Using AEC, just a few selected terms provide a large improvement in disambiguation performance. The MRD method handles noisy terms better but requires a larger set of terms to improve performance
The Neolithic site of Haj Yusif (Central Sudan)
Not AvailableInforme de la excavación de 1989, que incluye la descripción y análisis preliminar de la cerámica, útiles líticos y fauna. A pesar de su condición alterada por ocupaciones posteriores, en el yacimiento se han podido detectar dos áreas con distinta proporción de motivos decorativos en la cerámica, lo que implica diferencia funcional o, más probablemente, cronológica. El asentamiento parece haber sido de corta duración y corresponde a un grupo pastoril de alta movilidad, con rasgos similares a otros conocidos en el Sudán central durante el «Neolítico de Jartúm», tipo Shaheinab, en la segunda mitad del quinto milenio a.

Structural characterization of highly glucosylated crocins and regulation of their biosynthesis during flower development in Crocus
Crocin biosynthesis in Crocus has been proposed to proceed through a zeaxanthin cleavage pathway catalyzed by carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 2 (CCD2), and followed by glucosylation reactions catalyzed by CsGT2 (UGT74AD1). In Crocus ancyrensis flowers, crocins with eight (crocin-1), seven (crocin-2), and six glucose (crocin-3) moieties accumulated both in stigma and tepals. We have characterized the structure of these highly glucosylated crocins and follow up their accumulation by high-resolution liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector along the development of both tissues, and coupled to the isolation and analysis of the expression of eighteen genes (PSY-I, PSY-II, PDS-(I-V), ISO-ZDS, ZDS, CtrISO, LYC-I and II, BCH, CaCCD2, UGT74AD2-5) related with the apocarotenoid metabolism in C. ancyrensis tepals and stigmas. Structure elucidation of crocin-1 and crocin-2 was done by the combined use of 1D and 2D [H, H] (gCOSY and TOCSY and ROESY) and [H-C] NMR experiments, revealing that for crocin-1 was all-trans-crocetin O-[β-D- Glucopyranosyl)-(1→4)-(β-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1→2)]-O-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)]-β-D-glucopyranosyl diester, while crocin-2 showed an identical structure except for the absence of one glucose residue in one end of the molecule. Crocins accumulation was not synchronically regulated in stigma and tepals, although in both cases crocins accumulation parallels tissue development, decreasing at anthesis. The expression of the carotenogenic genes PSY, ZDS-V, BCH, and LCY-II was correlated with crocins accumulation. In addition, CaCCD2 and only one of the four glucosyltransferase encoding genes, UGT74AD2, were highly expressed, and the expression was correlated with high levels of crocins accumulation in stigma and tepals.This work was supported by the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (BIO2013-44239-R) and participates in the IBERCAROT network (112RT0445).
