Perception and Demands of Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women Regarding Their Role as Participants in Environmental Research Studies

A significant proportion of scientific studies consider pregnant and breastfeeding women as vulnerable subjects. The objective of this study was to analyse the perception of pregnant and breastfeeding women regarding their participation in environmental research studies. Our work is a descriptive and interpretative observational study that has been developed under the qualitative research paradigm following a phenomenological and ethnographic perspective. The study involved 173 women selected intentionally in two Spanish autonomous communities. To obtain the primary data, we relied upon 111 interviews, four focused ethnographies and eight focus groups. The data encoding and analysis was carried out with the help of NVivo 12 software (QSR International, Boston, MA, USA). We evidenced the need of pregnant and breastfeeding women for more detailed and accurate information on the risk of environmental pollutant exposure during their crucial life stage. In addition, these women claimed for a more participatory role in research studies. Pregnant and breastfeeding women in Spain ask for greater interaction with researchers and propose a dialogical relationship between valid partners. We conclude that our pregnant and breastfeeding women claim more research focused on their collective, as well as clearer, more accessible and structured information on the risks of exposure to environmental contaminants. In addition, they do not want to simply be informants; rather, they ask to be active and empowered members by providing their opinions and arguments throughout the research process.Fundación Pública Andaluza Progreso y Salud de la Junta de Andalucía, Spain (reference: AP-0139-2017)Ministry of Health of the Junta de Andalucía, Spain - A-0043-2018Ramón y Cajal programme (RYC-2016-20155, of the Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness, Spain)

Visão de enfermagem em relação ao coletivo de pacientes marroquinos

OBJECTIVE To determine the Melilla Hospital Nursing Department’s attitude towards Moroccan patients. METHOD Descriptive ex post facto study. A questionnaire has been handed over to staff, on the Immigration Attitude Scale for Nursing. RESULTS In general, nurses exhibit negative attitudes towards Moroccan patients, such as: the increase in crime is caused by the arrival of immigrants, those who commit offenses must be expelled from Spain, they take advantage of the Spanish health system and too many resources are devoted to immigration. The worst-rated immigrants are the Moroccans, considering that they do not pay much attention to their personal hygiene and do not adapt to their host countries. CONCLUSION It is necessary to work with the nursing staff to change these attitudes. Future degree students must be trained in cultural skills and the care of immigrants will improve with a greater commitment towards cultural differences.OBJETIVO Conhecer a atitude do pessoal de enfermagem do Hospital de Melilla em relação aos pacientes marroquinos. MÉTODO Estudo ex post facto descritivo. Foi aplicado um questionário de Escala de Atitudes perante a Imigração para Enfermagem. RESULTADOS Em geral, as enfermeiras apresentaram atitudes negativas diante dos pacientes marroquinos, como considerar que o aumento da delinquência seja provocado pela chegada de imigrantes e que os transgressores devam ser expulsos da Espanha. Que eles se aproveitam do sistema sanitário e que são destinados recursos demais para a imigração. Os imigrantes mais mal avaliados são os marroquinos, considerando-se que são muito pouco cuidadosos com sua higiene pessoal e os que menos se adaptam aos países anfitriões. CONCLUSÃO É necessário trabalhar com o pessoal de enfermagem com vistas a modificar essas atitudes. As graduações devem estar vinculadas à formação em competências culturais para que se melhore os cuidados aos imigrantes, como um maior compromisso com a diferença cultural.OBJETIVO Conocer la actitud de enfermería del Hospital de Melilla hacia los pacientes marroquíes. MÉTODO Estudio ex post facto descriptivo. Se ha pasado un cuestionario de Escala de Actitud ante la Inmigración para Enfermería. RESULTADOS En general las enfermeras presentan actitudes negativas ante los pacientes marroquíes, como: el aumento de la delincuencia es provocado por la llegada de inmigrantes, los que delinquen deben ser expulsados de España, se aprovechan del sistema sanitario y se dedican demasiados recursos para la inmigración. Los inmigrantes peores valorados son los marroquíes, considerando que son pocos cuidadosos con su higiene personal y no se adaptan a los países de acogida. CONCLUSIÓN Es necesario trabajar con el personal de enfermería para que cambien estas actitudes. Las futuras promociones de Grado deben estar formadas en competencias culturales y mejorarán los cuidados a los inmigrantes como un mayor compromiso con la diferencia cultural

Expression and characterization of the Trypanosoma cruzi dihydrofolate reductase domain

We have cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli a 702-base pair gene coding for the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) domain of the bifunctional dihydrofolate reductase-thymidylate synthase (DHFR-TS) from Trypanosoma cruzi. The DHFR domain was purified to homogeneity by methotrexate-Sepharose chromatography followed by an anion-exchange chromatography step in a mono Q column, and displayed a single 27-kDa band on SDS-PAGE. Gel filtration showed that the catalytic domain was expressed as a monomer. Kinetic parameters were similar to those reported for the wild-type bifunctional enzyme with Km values of 0.75 microM for dihydrofolate and 16 microM for NADPH and a kcat value of 16.5 s-1. T. cruzi DHFR is poorly inhibited by trimethoprim and pyrimethamine and the inhibition constants were always lower for the bifunctional enzyme. The binding of methotrexate was characteristic of a class of inhibitors that form an initial complex which isomerizes slowly to a tighter complex and are referred to as 'slow, tight-binding' inhibitors. While the slow-binding step of inhibition was apparently unaffected in the individually expressed DHFR domain, the overall inhibition constant was two-fold higher as a consequence of the superior inhibition constant value obtained for the initial inhibitory complex

Esta investigación compara las puntuaciones obtenidas por dos grupos de alumnos de educación social de la universidad de Huelva (provincia de Andalucía y sin presión migratoria actual) y por otro, de la universidad de Granada en su campus de la ciudad Autónoma de Melilla (ciudad multicultural y con alta presión migratoria). Método: estudio descriptivo cuantitativo donde participaron un total de 157 alumnos con edades entre los 19 y 25 años (M=22.02). Resultados: el análisis estadístico muestra diferencias significativas en ambas muestras analizadas respecto a los totales de puntuaciones obtenidas. Conclusiones: desde una perspectiva estadística, no podemos afirmar que existan prejuicios claros y directos en ninguna de las dos muestras analizadas, pero sí existen diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos, no encontrándose en esta investigación qué variable puede estar afectando a estos resultados, pudiendo teorizar solamente que es la alta presión migratoria y cómo la perciben de primera mano los propios estudiantes de la ciudad autónoma el causante de dichos resultados.Prejudice towards undocumented immigrants has been investigated more frequently in different social settings without direct contact with it. This research study compares the scores obtained by two groups of social education students from the University of Huelva (province of Andalusia and currently without migratory pressure) and from the University of Granada at its campus in the Autonomous City of Melilla (a multicultural city with high migratory pressure). Method: A quantitative descriptive study involving a total of 157 students aged between 19 and 25 years (M = 22.02). Results: The statistical analysis showed significant differences in both analysed samples with respect to the total scores obtained. Conclusions: from a statistical perspective, we cannot affirm that there is clear and direct prejudice in either of the two samples analysed. However, there are significant differences between the two groups, although we did not find in this investigation which variable may be affecting these results.Universidad de Granada.

Los participantes reflejaron prejuicio moderado hacia las personas gais y lesbianas. Los hombres mostraron significativamente más prejuicio y mayor distancia social que las mujeres. El grupo que no se identifica con ninguna religión es el que presenta menor actitudes prejuiciosas y distancia social, segundo el grupo cristiano y el que puntúa más alto es el grupo musulmán. No existen diferencias significativas en función de la práctica religiosa, aunque las puntuaciones medias de actitudes prejuiciosas son superiores en los que responden ser muy o bastante practicantes frente a los que responden ser poco o nada practicantes. Existen diferencias significativas entre el grupo de procedencia europea y el de origen bereber, siendo este último el que presenta actitudes más prejuiciosas y mayor distancia social. Las personas que conocían al menos a un gay o a una lesbiana obtuvieron puntuaciones menores de prejuicio y distancia social que las que informaron no conocer a estas personas, siendo estas puntuaciones más significativas en los primeros. Se analiza la importancia incluir la variable grupo de pertenencia como factor significativo de influencia en el prejuicio y distancia social hacia las personas gais y lesbianas
