[en] There are few studies analyzing the health of older people from a multidimensional perspective. The aim of this work was to study the psychological health, perceived health and laboratory values in non-institutionalized elderly people. We conducted a cross-sectional study including a representative sample of 600 community-dwelling residents of Narón Council (A Coruña), aged 65 years and older. The dependence in the activities of the daily living, cerebrovascular disease, congestive heart failure and diabetes were associated with the coexistence of depression and cognitive impairment. A limited amount of contact with others was significantly linked to the presence of cognitive impairment. The lack of satisfaction with social support affected depressive symptoms both alone and when they co-occurred with cognitive impairment. Depressive symptoms were a factor that showed the strongest relation to poor self-rated health followed by the need for caregiver support in women, but having a connective tissue disease was the second strongest factor in men. In many of the laboratory parameters analyzed we found an excess of values outside the range of the normal reference values set for the young adult population, suggesting the need for specific reference values for the elderly.

[gl] Son escasos os estudos sociosanitarios que analizan a saúde das persoas maiores desde unha perspectiva multidimensional. O obxectivo deste traballo foi estudar a saúde psicolóxica, a saúde percibida e os valores de laboratorio nas persoas maiores non institucionalizadas. Realizouse un estudo transversal cunha mostra representativa de 600 persoas de 65 ou máis anos do municipio de Narón (A Coruña). A dependencia para as actividades da vida diaria, a enfermidade cerebrovascular, a insuficiencia cardíaca conxestiva e a diabete relacionáronse coa coexistencia de síntomas depresivos e deterioro cognitivo. Ter un escaso contacto con outros asociouse coa presenza de deterioro cognitivo, mentres que a satisfacción co apoio relacionouse coa presenza de síntomas depresivos e coa coexistencia de ambos os dous. Os síntomas depresivos foron o principal preditor da mala saúde percibida, seguidos da necesidade dun coidador no total da mostra e nas mulleres, e da enfermidade do tecido conxuntivo nos homes. En canto aos valores de laboratorio, unha porcentaxe importante dos suxeitos mostráronos fóra dos intervalos de referencia para os adultos novos, suxerindo a necesidade de elaborar patróns de referencia específicos para as persoas maiores.
[en] In survival analysis, there are situations in which not all subjects are susceptible to the final event. For example, if the event is a cancer therapy-related adverse effect, there will be a fraction of patients (considered as cured) that will never experience it. Mixture cure models allow to estimate the probability of cure and the survival function for the uncured subjects. In the literature, nonparametric estimation of both functions is limited to continuous univariate covariates. We fill this gap by proposing single-index mixture cure models. They allow working with a vector covariate and assume that the survival function depends on it through an unknown linear combination, that is estimated by maximum likelihood. Besides, a nonparametric estimator for the density function of the uncured individuals is introduced, and its iid representation is derived. Finally, the proposed models are extended to functional covariates and a preprocessing algorithm is implemented to deal with medical images. The methodology is applied to a cardiotoxicity dataset. The goal is to determine whether (and how) certain factors affect the probability of experiencing the cardiovascular problem and the amount of time it takes for it to manifest. Understanding risk factors may lead to a patient-based preventive medicine.

[gl] En análise de supervivencia hai situacións nas que non todos os individuos son susceptibles ao evento final. Por exemplo, se o evento é un efecto adverso dunha terapiaoncolóxica, haberá pacientes (considerados como curados) que nunca o experimentarán. Os modelos de curaci´on de tipo mestura permiten estimar a probabilidade de curación e a función de supervivencia dos suxeitos susceptibles. Na literatura, a estimación non paramétrica destas dúas funcións limítase a covariables unidimensionais. Nesta tese propóñense os modelos single-index de curación de tipo mestura. Estes permiten traballar cunha covariable vectorial e asumen que a función de supervivencia depende dela mediante unha combinación lineal que se pode estimar por máxima verosimilitude. Ademais, introd´ucese un estimador non paramétrico para a función de densidade dos susceptibles e obtense a súa representación iid. Finalmente, os modelos propostos esténdense a covariables funcionais e impleméntase un algoritmo de preprocesamento de imaxes médicas. A metodoloxía aplícase a datos de cardiotoxicidade co obxectivo de determinar que factores afectan (e como) á probabilidade de experimentala e ao tempo que tarda en manifestarse. Coñecer os factores de risco podería conducir cara unha medicina preventiva personalizada.
[en] Botrytis cinerea is a phypathogen fungus with necrotroph life style which affects a wide range of hosts, including Phaseolus vulgaris. The goals of this work were: to test if exogenous application of benzylaminopurine (BAP) to bean leaves confers protection against the fungus and if it has any effect on the peroxidase activity, to calculate the ED50 of the BAP as a fungicide against fungus and to determine if the fungicidal effect is due to the inhibition of the synthesis of methionine in the fungus. The results suggest that exogenous application of BAP provided protection by significantly reducing the lesion area. Moreover, it caused an increase in peroxidase activity levels, suggesting the induction of plant resistance. Furthermore, BAP had a fungicide effect on B. cinerea. The ED50 obtained in the present study was 85.52 μM. Finally, it was found that the mode of action of BAP as a fungicide is not the inhibition of methionine synthesis in the fungus.

[gl] Botrytis cinerea é un fungo fitopatóxeno cun estilo de vida necrotrofo que afecta a un amplo rango de hóspedes, entre os que se inclúe Phaseolus vulgaris. Os obxectivos deste traballo foron: comprobar experimentalmente se a aplicación esóxena de bencilaminopurina (BAP) ás follas de feixón confire protección fronte ó fungo e se ten algún efecto na actividade peroxidasa, calcular a ED50 da BAP como funxicida fronte a este fungo e determinar se ese efecto funxicida débese á inhibición da síntese de metionina do fungo. Os resultados obtidos apuntan a que a aplicación esóxena de BAP si conferiu protección, ó reducir significativamente a área da lesión. Tamén causou un incremento nos niveis de actividade peroxidasa, o que suxire a indución de resistencia na planta. Ademais, a BAP tivo un efecto funxicida sobre B. cinerea. A ED50 obtida no presente estudio foi de 85,52 μM. Por último, comprobouse que o modo de acción da BAP como funxicida non é a inhibición da síntese de metionina do fungo.
[en] Industry is increasingly demanding technological solutions for diversifying and customising its products. Laser technology, given its attributes, is an ideal tool for the personalised treatment of surfaces, above all, due to the flexibility it offers, thanks to the possibility of shaping or distributing the beam energy in a localised and efficient way. This work presents a study of the surface hardening and tempering processes using an oscillating laser beam, shaped by means of a high-dynamic galvanometric mirror scanner and generated by a continuous wave diode laser. The study focuses on the one hand, on determining the influence of the oscillation frequency parameter during the surface hardening process of 42CrMo4 steel. On the other hand, the effect of the surface tempering process, carried out on a region of the material previously hardened by the same laser source, on the temperature, microstructure, stress state and hardness of the treated steel, is investigated. Finally, a particular shaping strategy is proposed to obtain an optimised design of equivalent laser energy distribution, capable of simultaneously hardening and tempering the surface of the material, without the need to perform both processes separately.

[gl] A industria demanda cada vez máis solucións tecnolóxicas que permitan diversificar e personalizar os seus produtos. A tecnoloxía láser, dadas as súas calidades, é unha ferramenta ideal para o tratamento personalizado de superficies, sobre todo, pola flexibilidade que ofrece, grazas á posibilidade de conformar ou distribuír a enerxía do feixe de forma localizada e eficiente. Neste traballo preséntase un estudo dos procesos de endurecemento e de revenido superficial mediante un feixe láser oscilante, conformado por medio dun escáner de espellos galvanométricos de alta dinámica e xerado por un láser de diodos de onda continua. O estudo céntrase, por unha banda, en determinar a influencia do parámetro de frecuencia de oscilación durante o proceso de endurecemento superficial do aceiro 42CrMo4. Doutra banda, investígase o efecto do proceso de revenido superficial realizado sobre unha rexión do material previamente endurecida pola mesma fonte láser, sobre a temperatura, microestructura, estado tensional e dureza do aceiro tratado. Finalmente, proponse unha estratexia particular de conformado, para obter un deseño optimizado de distribución de enerxía láser equivalente, capaz de endurecer e revenir de forma simultánea a superficie do material, sen necesidade de realizar ambos os procesos por separado.

[en] In the present work, a comparative study of iron (II) adsorption was carried out using three types of marine algae (brown, green and red). A screening was made with several algae of each type and it was determined that the algae with the highest adsorption are brown algae. Within each type, it was determined which species had the highest adsorption to work with it in subsequent experiments. These species were Bifurcaria bifurcata within brown algae, Chondrus crispus within red algae, and Ulva rigida within green algae. For these three species, kinetic studies were carried out and it was determined that they reached the adsorption equilibrium in 30 or 90 minutes. Finally, the effect of pH on the alga Chondrus crispus was studied and it was determined that this is a key factor in the adsorption process since it affects both the behavior of the functional groups present in the algae, as well as iron (II) speciation.

[gl] No presente traballo realizouse un estudo comparativo de adsorción de ferro (II) empregando tres tipos de algas mariñas (pardas, verdes e vermellas). Fíxose un barrido con varias algas de cada tipo e determinouse que as algas que presentan maior adsorción son as algas pardas. Dentro de cada tipo determinouse cal era a especie que presentaba unha maior adsorción para traballar con ela en experimentos posteriores. Estas especies foron Bifurcaría bifurcata dentro das algas pardas, Chondrus crispus dentro das algas vermellas e Ulva rigida dentro das verdes. Para estas tres especies realizaronse estudos cinéticos e determinouse que alcanzaban o equilibrio de adsorción en 30 ou 90 minutos. Por último estudouse o efecto de pH no alga Chondrus crispus e determinouse que este é un factor chave no proceso de adsorción xa que afecta tanto ao comportamento dos grupos funcionáis presente no alga, coma á especiación do ferro (II).

[en] This paper examines Suso de Toro's A sombra cazadora (1994) as a postmodern update of Renaissance humanism. From a Bakhtinian perspective, in de Toro's narrative the epic quest for a lost paradise —an ideal past represented by the dead mother— is conveyed through a environmental and supernatural discourse which channels the epistemological primacy of A sombra cazadora: a humanist approach to life and existence. De Toro's dystopian society is eventually subverted by an epic return to the aforementioned mythical paradise, envisioned as a humanist and rural geography represented by Nature, the image of the mother, and the nurturing of the body. Another humanist trace in A sombra cazadora is the use of classical sources and myths (Plato's allegory of the cave and the Cretan labyrinth) to account for the emotional isolation caused by the overwhelming rule of mass media in postmodern societies. At the end of the novel, all these elements work together to restore core humanist ideals such as tolerance, dignity, optimism, generosity, positive relationships, cooperation, and a sense of community.

[gl] Este traballo examina A sombra cazadora (1994) de Suso de Toro como reformulación postmoderna do humanismo renacentista. Dende un punto de vista bakhtiniano, de Toro articula o motivo da viaxe épica mediante unha epistemoloxía humanista que combina preocupacións ecolóxicas co enigma metafísico do sobrenatural. A sociedade distópica retratada por Suso de Toro é desprazada por unha xeografía humanista simbolizada polo retorno á antropoloxía da natureza e o feminino. Outro compoñente humanista de A sombra cazadora é o uso de mitos clásicos (a caverna platónica, o labirinto de Creta) para dar conta da alienación emocional do suxeito contemporáneo. Deste modo, A sombra cazadora restaura nun escenario (post)moderno e apocalíptico valores típicamente humanistas como a tolerancia, a xenerosidade, o traballo social e a dignidade persoal.
