    [ES]Las bibliotecas de todo el mundo han pasado por una situación inédita en los últimos meses: la mayoría han tenido que cerrar y otras han visto sus servicios limitados. Ante esta situación, el personal de la biblioteca ha respondido desde sus casas con múltiples propuestas, facilitando el acceso a la cultura y la información de forma remota, modificando y actualizando webs y catálogos, ampliando las colecciones digitales y generando una nueva relación con los usuarios que han podido utilizar la biblioteca desde casa. El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar y analizar las actividades y servicios puestos en marcha por las bibliotecas para adaptarse a la nueva realidad, en la que lo presencial no era posible, demostrando, una vez más, su flexibilidad y gran capacidad de adaptación en los tiempos de incertidumbre. Para ello se realizará una cartografía de actividades con el fin de obtener una panorámica de los tipos de respuestas bibliotecarias dadas en estos meses de confinamiento. No se trata de hacer un listado exhaustivo, sino una categorización que mostrará cómo la biblioteca ha sabido convertir la adversidad en una oportunidad para la transformación digita

    Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) affects a large number of female university students, diminishing their quality of life and hindering academic performance, representing a significant cause of absenteeism. The purpose of our study was to determine how nursing students experienced restrictions as a result of primary dysmenorrhea. A qualitative exploratory study was conducted among 33 nursing students with primary dysmenorrhea. A purposeful sampling strategy was applied. Data were collected from five focus groups (two sessions each) and the field notes of 10 researchers. A video meeting platform was used to conduct the focus groups. A thematic inductive analysis was performed. Thirty-three female nursing students participated in the study with a mean age of 22.72 (SD 3.46) years. Three broad themes emerged: (a) restrictions on daily activities and sports; (b) academic restrictions, and (c) restrictions on social and sexual relationships. The students described restrictions in performing everyday activities, such as carrying weight, and shopping. Some students even gave up the practice of sports and were absent from classes at the university, and from clinical practices at the hospital. The pain affected their ability to maintain and create new social relationships. Primary dysmenorrhea caused restrictions in the personal, social and academic life of the nursing students.post-print299 K

    Treatment of Soil Contaminated by Mining Activities to Prevent Contamination by Encapsulation in Ceramic Construction Materials

    [EN] Mining is an essential activity for obtaining materials necessary for the well-being and development of society. However, this activity produces important environmental impacts that must be controlled. More specifically, there are different soils near new or abandoned mining productions that have been contaminated with potentially toxic elements, and currently represent an important environmental problem. In this research, a contaminated soil from the mining district of Linares was studied for its use as a raw material for the conforming of ceramic materials, bricks, dedicated to construction. Firstly, the contaminated soil was chemically and physically characterized in order to evaluate its suitability. Subsequently, different families of samples were conformed with different percentages of clay and contaminated soil. Finally, the conformed ceramics were physically and mechanically characterized to examine the variation produced in the ceramic material by the incorporation of the contaminated soil. In addition, in this research, leachate tests were performed according to the TCLP method determining whether encapsulation of potentially toxic elements in the soil occurs. The results showed that all families of ceramic materials have acceptable physical properties, with a soil percentage of less than 80% being acceptable to obtain adequate mechanical properties and a maximum of 70% of contaminated soil to obtain acceptable leachate according to EPA regulations. Therefore, the maximum percentage of contaminated soil that can be incorporated into the ceramic material is 70% in order to comply with all standards. Consequently, this research not only avoids the contamination that contaminated soil can produce, but also valorizes this element as a raw material for new materials, avoiding the extraction of clay and reducing the environmental impact.S

    [EN] Mining activities are essential for a population’s development; however, they also produce negative effects such as the production of waste, an impact on flora and water pollution. On the other hand, construction is one of the sectors which is most demanding of raw materials, with one of the main such materials being water. For this reason, this research evaluates the feasibility of incorporating water contaminated by mining waste into ceramic materials for bricks. In this way, the use of water is reduced and, on the other hand, the contaminating elements of the mining water are encapsulated in the ceramic matrix. To achieve this, the clay used and the contaminated water were first analysed, then different families of samples were conformed with different percentages of contaminated water. These samples were tested to determine their physical and mechanical properties. At the same time, leachate tests were carried out to determine that the ceramic material created did not cause environmental problems. The test results showed that the physical and mechanical properties of the ceramics were not influenced by the addition of contaminated water. On the other hand, the leachate tests showed that encapsulation of most of the potentially toxic elements occurred. However, the use of contaminated water as mixing water for ceramics could only be performed up to 60%, as higher percentages would leach impermissible arsenic concentrations. Accordingly, a new way of reusing water contaminated by mining activities is developed in this study, taking advantage of resources, avoiding environmental pollution and creating economic and environmentally friendly end products

    Aim Primary dysmenorrhea is a problem that affects both young and adult women, with a significant impact on their daily lives. This pain is primarily managed through the consumption of non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and non-pharmacological approaches such as exercise, acupressure and heat. The present study aimed to describe how Spanish university students manage dysmenorrhea. Design Qualitative case study. Methods Nursing students (N = 33) from the region of Andalusia (Spain) participated in focus groups. A purposive sampling method was used, and the data were collected through videoconferencing and subsequently analysed thematically. The guidelines for conducting qualitative studies established by the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) and the standards for reporting qualitative research (SRQR) were followed. Results Four principal themes were identified: (a) Strategies for pain management; (b) using painkillers; (c) choosing the ideal treatment; (d) non-pharmacological interventions. Conclusions The nursing students experienced difficulties in managing primary dysmenorrhea, they self-medicated, expressed reluctance to seek professional medical advice, used non-pharmacological strategies and seeked advice from other women within their family/social circle.post-print434 K

    Seven Ulmus minor clones tolerant to Ophiostoma novo-ulmi registered as forest reproductive material in Spain

    Get PDF
    El programa español sobre el olmo comenzó en 1986 en respuesta a los efectos devastadores de la enfermedad holandesa del olmo en los olmedos naturales y los olmos en espacios urbanos. Sus principales objetivos eran conservar los recursos genéticos restante y seleccionar y criar genotipos tolerantes en olmos nativos. Después de 27 años de trabajo en la realización de ensayos de susceptibilidad en miles de genotipos de olmos, los primeros siete árboles tolerantes a Ulmus minor están siendo ahora registrados por la administración española del Medio Ambiente. Este trabajo presenta los resultados de las pruebas de susceptibilidad de estos clones y sus características genéticas, morfológicas y fenológicas distintivos. En todos los ensayos de susceptibilidad se utilizó como control el clon comercial "Sapporo Autumn Gold", que es altamente tolerante a O. novo-ulmi. Los clones registrados fueron nombrados "Ademuz", "Dehesa de la Villa", "Majadahonda", "Toledo", "Dehesa de Amaniel", "Retiro" y "Fuente Umbría". El clon más tolerante era "Dehesa de Amaniel", ya que sus valores de marchitamiento fueron inferiores al 5% durante los dos ensayos consecutivos de inoculación realizados en Madrid. "Fuente Umbría", probado más de cuatro años consecutivos en Guadalajara y Palencia, era el clon español con el nivel de tolerancia más confiable de O. novo-ulmi. Los "Ademuz" y clones "Majadahonda" tenían las puntuaciones ornamentales más altas y son árboles prometedores para su uso en entornos urbanos por su genética forestal para la calidad ornamental. Estos dos genotipos mostraron una tardía fenología de desborre frente a los otros clones U. minor, lo que demuestra su idoneidad para zonas con heladas tardías. El programa español tiene como objetivo aumentar sustancialmente la gama de olmos nativos, tolerantes a través de nuevas selecciones y cruces, para obtener una mejor comprensión de la base genética de la resistencia.The Spanish elm programme began in 1986 in response to the devastating impact of Dutch elm disease on natural elm stands and urban trees. Its main objectives were to conserve remaining genetic resources and select and breed tolerant native elm genotypes. After 27 years of work conducting susceptibility trials on thousands of elm genotypes, the first seven tolerant Ulmus minor trees are now being registered by the Spanish Environmental Administration. This paper presents the results of the susceptibility tests on these clones and their distinctive genetic, morphological and phenological features. In all susceptibility trials the commercial “Sapporo Autumn Gold” clone, which is highly tolerant to O. novo-ulmi, was used as a control. The registered clones were named “Ademuz”, “Dehesa de la Villa”, “Majadahonda”, “Toledo”, “Dehesa de Amaniel”, “Retiro” and “Fuente Umbría”. The most tolerant clone was “Dehesa de Amaniel”, as its wilting values were below 5% during the two consecutive inoculation trials performed in Madrid. “Fuente Umbría”, tested over four consecutive years in Guadalajara and Palencia, was the Spanish clone with the most reliable tolerance level to O. novo-ulmi. The “Ademuz” and “Majadahonda” clones had the highest ornamental scores and are promising trees for use in urban environments and tree breeding for ornamental quality. These two genotypes showed a later bud burst phenology than the other U. minor clones, demonstrating suitability to areas with late frost events. The Spanish programme aims to substantially increase the range of tolerant native elms through new selections and crossings to gain a better understanding of the genetic basis of resistance.Ministerio de Agricultura, Alimentación y Medio Ambiente.
