Evolución reciente de los precios de consumo de los alimentos en el área del euro y en España
Authors: Borrallo Fructuoso , Cuadro-Sáez Lucía , Pacce Matías , Sánchez Isabel
Published: March 2023

Motivación

Los precios de los alimentos han registrado recientemente alzas sin precedentes en las últimas décadas, por lo que resulta de interés un análisis pormenorizado de dicha evolución y de sus factores determinantes desde una perspectiva internacional comparada, con especial detalle en el caso de los productos lácteos y de los cereales, dado su elevado peso en la cesta de la compra y la intensidad de los incrementos observados en sus precios.

Ideas principales

•El incremento de los precios de los alimentos en España no ha sido particularmente distinto al registrado en el área del euro, aunque su contribución a la inflación general ha sido más intensa debido al mayor peso de los alimentos en la cesta de consumo española.

•El incremento de los precios se está produciendo en la práctica totalidad de los distintos productos alimenticios, si bien se observa una elevada heterogeneidad entre ellos.

•Distintos factores de naturaleza eminentemente global, que afectaron a la oferta y a los costes de producción de las materias primas alimenticias, han sido condicionantes de primer orden en la evolución de los precios de los alimentos, tal y como ilustran los casos de los productos lácteos y los cereales.

Fluorosis is a crippling disease and an ongoing challenge for India. It is a public health problem caused by excess intake of fluoride through drinking water, food products and industrial pollutants over a long period of time. Ingestion of excess fluoride, most commonly in drinking-water affects the teeth and bones. Repeated exposure to high concentrations of fluoride during tooth development, leading to enamel with reduced mineral content and increased porosity. Selection of appropriate treatment plan depends upon the severity of fluorosis. Porcelain laminate veneers are considered the treatment of choice for moderate to severe cases of fluorosis given the optimum aesthetics, wear resistance, biocompatibility, and long-term results of these veneers. This case report describes a step-by-step rehabilitation of dental fluorosis, using porcelain laminate veneers in a 28-year-old Indian female.

Approximately 60% of cancer patients attending outpatients’ clinics experience severe unremitting pain hence self-management of cancer pain is critical. Nurses play an important role in treatment, pain management, and promotion of self-care of patients of cancer patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate nursing interventions in promoting self-management of cancer pain at Tenwek Hospital, Bomet County, Kenya. This was a qualitative study that utilized case study approach. Data was collected in a period of six months whereby interviewer administered semi-structured interview guide with predetermined themes. On the assistance offered by the nurses in self-management of pain, each participant reported to assist their patients differently. The main intervention nurses used in supporting cancer patients in self-management of cancer pain were a multidisciplinary approach involving all the health care providers, pharmacological counselling and patient education. The study also concludes that nurses’ interventions in self-management of cancer can help improve patient outcomes and their quality of life. The study recommends that nurses should incorporate support for self-management of cancer pain in their daily practice with cancer patients. The concept of self-management should be promulgated in such a way that it entails a holistic management of symptoms. Healthcare personnel should initiate self-management of cancer pain at the early trajectory of the disease, at the first contact with the patients.

Neuroinflammation as secondary damage in head injury
Authors: Karchevskaya Anna E. , Payushina Olga V. , Sharova Elena V. , Oknina Lyubov B. , Titov Oleg Yu.
Published: March 2023

Head injury is one of the main disability causes among the working-age population. Stroke energy induces mechanical injury of tissues to launch secondary damage, i.e. neurotransmission, blood-brain barrier disruption, blood infiltration of brain tissues, cytokine and chemokine overexpression, and other processes. Activated by the injury, microglia plays a special part to initially 'protect' intact tissues from the products of necrosis and apoptosis. After the injury, microglia rapidly differentiates to phenotypes М1 and М2. Pro-inflammatory phenotype М1 produces neuronal cytotoxic cytokines including tumor necrosis factor-, interleukins (IL)-6 and IL-1, and NO that induce apoptosis while phenotype М2 secretes IL-4 and IL-13 that may supposedly reduce inflammation and improve recovery of brain tissues. М2 response lasts much less than М1 response, and increasing pro-inflammatory activation leads to further neuronal death, which affects cognitive and physical status of patients with head injury. The review covers main biochemical processes in the injured brain and possible ways of neuroinflammation modulation.

Under the international field program Years of the Maritime Continent (YMC), we conducted a field campaign YMC-Boreal Summer Monsoon study in 2020 (YMC-BSM 2020) in the tropical western Pacific in August - September 2020. While this campaign was aimed to capture and understand the behavior of northward propagating boreal summer intraseasonal oscillation by forming an observation array with a ship and three islands, we also deployed three autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) and one surface buoy around the research vessel Mirai for one month. The latter was designed not only to study air-sea interaction but also to extend a capability of ASVs for meso-scale atmospheric convection research in future. Thus, in this article we demonstrate that deployment of several instrumented ASVs can capture some basic atmospheric features associated with convection development by showing several comparisons with that obtained by other measurements. Deploying several ASVs in order of 100 km scale is the key, because it can capture gradients of surface atmospheric and oceanic parameters such as sea surface temperatures and can demonstrate a relation between their gradients and atmospheric convection-related features. Since ASVs can be deployed from small islands and controlled remotely to occupy any designated area, this might engage future use of ASVs to study atmospheric convection more flexibly.
Current status and progress in the seasonal prediction of the Asian summer monsoon

The Asian summer monsoon (ASM) has a considerable impact on human lives in the most populated region in the world. Thus, its seasonal prediction is a high-profile application in Earth Science. However, the prediction skill of the regional ASM variability has long been limited due to a formidable difficulty in accurately simulating the complex interactions of the atmosphere-ocean variability and its remote influence on regional climate in numerical models. This study updates the current status and assesses progress in the ASM seasonal prediction performance. This study evaluated the seasonal prediction skill of two generations of models in hindcast data archived by the WCRP Climate-system Historical Forecast Project (CHFP) and Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S). A special focus was put on the representation of the predominant teleconnections associated with the ENSO and Indian Ocean variability. It was found that the latest seasonal prediction systems (C3S) generally outperform previous-generation systems (CHFP) in terms of the reproducibility of the observed precipitation climatology and the prediction skill of the interannual variability of seasonal precipitation over the ASM region. Furthermore, the results suggested that the improvement of the prediction skill of the ASM likely stems from the improved representation of the monsoon climatology and teleconnections in the models. These analyses highlight the steady progress of the atmosphere-ocean coupled modelling and promise future improvements in the seasonal ASM prediction.
Impact outlook of Asian Monsoon for Disaster Resilience

Published: March 2023

The Asian summer monsoon impacts the human lives and agrarian economies throughout Asia. These impacts are driven by monsoon anomalies which are manifested interms of the seasonal precipitation, surface temperatures, and the occurrences of floods,droughts, and tropical cyclones. A strong monsoon results in various positive outcomes like increased agricultural produce, economic growth,reduced commodityprices and national inflationary levels as well as increased ground water and restored reservoirs.While predicting the Asian summer monsoon has been prioritized by decision-makers across sectors in Asia, impact forecasting must gain greater significance as itis particularly important to tackle disaster risks. The paradigm shifts from ‘what monsoon will be to what monsoon will do’provides valuable insightsto better prepare Asian countries for managingimpending extreme events. The paper brings out how impact outlook for Asian monsoon can be effectively utilized.It shows howseasonal forecasts overlaid with risk and hazards maps andindicators on exposure and vulnerability can enhance understanding ofpotential risk scenariosfor various sectors, including agriculture, energy, health, water, and disaster management. Noting the limitations of accuracy and information available from seasonal forecasts, the information provided from impact outlook should be understood as preliminary assessments. The paper makes a case for seamless integration of seasonal, sub-seasonal, medium, and short terms forecasts withthe data on potential impact for close monitoring and taking targeted policy actions.

This study was conducted to assess the effects of functional oil (FO) blend on performance, blood metabolites, organ biometry and intestinal morphometry in piglets. A total of 128 crossbreed piglets (Landrace × Large White, 64 uncastrated males and 64 females, 21 d of age, and 6.79 ± 1.76 kg BW) were allocated in a randomized complete block design with two dietary treatments: a FO-free (FOF) diet or a diet based on added FO (1,500 mg/kg of diet with castor oil plus cashew nutshell oil). Piglets fed FO showed higher (p ≤ 0.05) average daily feed intake, daily body weight gain and final body weight after 23 d of study. For the total period, piglets fed FO showed greater (p = 0.007) feed conversion ratio. On d 23, higher serum total protein (p = 0.026) and globulin (p = 0.050) concentration, lower liver (p = 0.042) and stomach (p = 0.074) weight, and greater (p = 0.082) villi height (VH) in duodenum were observed in piglets fed FO. Nonetheless, piglets fed FOF showed greater (p = 0.054) ileal VH, but greater (p = 0.004) crypt depth (CD) in jejunum. Piglets fed FO showed higher VH to CD ratio in jejunum (p = 0.068) and duodenum (p = 0.074) on d 23 and 37, respectively. Based on the results, FO blend improved the performance of weaned piglets; however, it negatively affected the feed conversion ratio in the total period. Moreover, FO blend promoted changes in total protein concentrations and improvements in digestive and absorptive capacity assessed through VH to CD ratio, with a significant reduction in organs.

Swines raised in intensive systems are highly susceptible to claw lesions. Moderate to severe lesions trigger an inflammatory response, causing pain and impairing reproductive and economic performance. Foot lesions in sows can cause considerable losses owing to reduced fertility and herd longevity. Proper diagnosis is an important step in correcting this problem; however, the seriousness of the impact of these lesions on swine herds remains unclear to most farm owners. Health monitoring has become an essential tool for veterinarians because it enables the detection of disease incidence and severity. In this study, we assessed claw lesions in sows reared under an intensive system to ascertain the prevalence and severity of lesions in Brazilian herds. The hind limb claws of 2,660 sows from 30 farms were examined for the following lesions: heel overgrowth and erosion (HOE), heel-sole cracks, white line lesions (WL), horizontal and vertical cracks in the toe wall, overgrown toes, and overgrown or missing dew claws. Claws were classified as normal (score = 0), mild (score = 1), moderate (score = 2), or severe (score = 3). At least one type of lesion was observed in 99.1% of the sows, whereas 29.7% displayed severe lesions. HOE was the most common lesion (89.9% of sows) and severe WL was observed in 16.8% of the sows. Lesions increased in prevalence and severity with parity, except for WL In young females, lesions on the volar surface were more common than those on cracked walls or overgrown toes, which should be considered when selecting gilts for breeding. A high prevalence of claw lesions was observed in Brazilian sows. Monitoring of these lesions is fast and simple. Regular monitoring provides information on claw health in a herd over time, allowing us to take measures to control and treat claw lesions, avoiding worsening of the problem, early culling of animals, and the associated productive and economic losses.

Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da suplementação da enzima β-mananase com e sem levedura de cana de açúcar (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) para frangos de corte 1 a 21 dias de idade. Utilizou-se 720 pintos de corte de um dia de idade, machos, da linhagem Cobb, distribuídos em delineamento inteiramente casualizado com seis tratamentos e, seis repetições de 20 aves cada. Os tratamentos foram: Dieta basal (DB); DB + β-mananase (100 g/t); DB + 7% de levedura de cana-de-açúcar (DL); DL + β-mananase (80 g/t); DL + β-mananase (100 g/t); DL + β-mananase (120 g/t). Avaliou-se o desempenho zootécnico na fase pré-inicial (1 a 7) e na fase inicial (1 a 21 dias de idade), a morfometria do intestino delgado (duodeno, jejuno e íleo) e, a viabilidade econômica da ração. Os dados foram submetidos à análise da variância do programa SAS e as médias foram comparadas pelo teste de Student Newmann Keuls (SNK). Na fase pré-inicial, os tratamentos com DL + β-mananase (80, 100 e 120 g/t) apresentaram as melhores médias de conversão alimentar. Na fase inicial, aos frangos que consumiram à dieta basal (DB) e DB + β-mananase apresentaram peso médio, ganho de peso e conversão alimentar melhores. Para a morfometria intestinal, criptas ileais mais rasas foram observadas no tratamento com DL+ β-mananase (120 g/t) em relação a dieta basal e vilos ileais mais largos foram observados no tratamento com DL+ β-mananase (100 g/t) em relação a dieta com DL+ β-mananase (80 g/t). A espessura da parede muscular, no duodeno, foi menor nos frangos que consumiram a DB em relação a DB + β-mananase (100 g/t), no jejuno, foi maior na DL e na suplementação com 100 g/t em relação a 80 e 120 g/t e no íleo, foi maior nas dietas com suplementação de β-mananase em relação a DB e DL. Para a viabilidade econômica, a adição de 7% de levedura de cana-de-açúcar, com ou sem enzima proporcionaram aumento do custo médio de ração e índice de custo, e redução do índice de eficiência econômica. Com base nos resultados zootécnicos recomenda-se DL + β-mananase (120g/t) para a fase pré-inicial e inicial. Contudo, o uso de levedura de cana-de-açúcar com e sem suplementação da enzima β-mananase não é economicamente viável no período de 1 a 21 dias.

Aiemmissa tutkimuksissa on havaittu, että sukupuolivähemmistöön kuuluvat lapset ja nuoret kokevat muita ikäisiään enemmän vanhempien tekemää perheväkivaltaa. Lasten ja nuorten kokeman perheväkivallan ja sukupuolivähemmistöön kuulumisen välistä yhteyttä ei kuitenkaan ole tarkasteltu tarkemmin ja etenkin kotimainen tutkimustieto aiheesta on vähäistä. Tässä artikkelissa tarkastellaan ristiintaulukoinnin ja logistisen regressioanalyysin keinoin translasten ja -nuorten sukupuolivähemmistöön kuulumisen yhteyttä vanhempien tekemään väkivaltaan. Aineistona käytetään vuoden 2022 kansallisen lapsiuhritutkimuksen aineistoa. Tutkimustulosten mukaan translapset ja -nuoret kokevat muita ikäisiään todennäköisemmin vanhempiensa tekemää henkistä ja fyysistä väkivaltaa. Logistisen regressioanalyysin tulosten mukaan yhteys kuitenkin katoaa, kun kontrolloidaan muita perheväkivaltakokemusten todennäköisyyteen vaikuttavia muuttujia. Poikkeuksena on muunsukupuolisten lasten ja nuorten kokema henkinen väkivalta. Muunsukupuolisuuden ja henkisen väkivallan välinen yhteys säilyi tilastollisesti merkitsevänä (OR 1,56, CI 1,11–2,19, p = 0,011) muiden tekijöiden vakioimisenkin jälkeen. Tutkimustulokset antavat viitteitä siitä, että lasten ja nuorten sukupuolivähemmistöön kuulumisen ja vanhempien taholta koetun väkivallan välinen yhteys selittyy pääosin muilla väliin tulevilla tekijöillä. Tulosten perusteella translasten ja -nuorten muita nuoria yleisemmät väkivaltakokemukset näyttäisivätkin johtuvan erilaisten yksilöllisten ja perheeseen liittyvien riskitekijöiden kasautumisesta. Translasten ja -nuorten sekä heidän perheidensä hyvinvointiin ja tarpeisiin tulisikin kiinnittää erityishuomiota ja varmistaa, että sukupuolivähemmistöön kuuluvat alaikäiset ja heidän perheensä saavat riittävää ja asiantuntevaa tukea sekä apua kohtaamiinsa haasteisiin.

Alcohol is a psychoactive substance that provides energy, but it is also responsible for the development of numerous diseases. The main aim of this study is to access the protective effect of vitamin C on alcohol induced lipid peroxidation and dyslipidaemia in adult male Wistar rats. Forty male Wistar rats weighing between 150g-250g were randomly grouped into four groups of five rats each after a fourteen days acclimatization period. The control group received food and water only, test group B received 6000 mg/kg of alcohol, group C received 100 mg/kg of vitamin C, group D received 200 mg/kg of vitamin C, group E received 300mg/kg of vitamin C, group F received 6000 mg/kg of alcohol and 100 mg/kg of vitamin C, group G received 6000 mg/kg of alcohol and 200 mg/kg of vitamin C, and group H received 6000 mg/kg of alcohol and 300 mg/kg of vitamin C. The administration was done for twenty-one days, blood was collected form he ocular vein and analysed for level of lipid peroxidation and fasting lipid profile, using standard procedure. The results showed that alcohol increased the level of lipid peroxidation, low density lipoprotein, cholesterol and triglycerides, and decreased the level of high-density lipoprotein. However, in the co-administration groups, positive changes were noticed in the level of lipid peroxidation, LDL, cholesterol, and triglycerides, and there was an improvement in the level of HDL. Positive changes were also seen in the groups administered with different doses of vitamin C. The study's findings suggest that vitamin C may be useful in managing alcohol-induced toxicity since it had a favourable effect on lipid profile and peroxidation.

Introduction- Irrational and unsafe injection practices are Insidious in developing countries harming the patient and alluring risks to the health care workers. Poor injection practices, including injection overuse and unsafe practices have been reported in many developing and transitional countries Objective - To determine the proportion and predictors of unsafe injections practices in government health facilities. Material and method - It was a descriptive cross-sectional study done in duration of 6 months A sample of 280 was calculated and 83 injection units of 11 government health care facilities were considered for the assessment. Generation of descriptive Statistics was done. Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify potential risk factor of unsafe injection practices. Result- 45 % of the injection practices out of total 280 observed injection practice in all the 11 facilities selected in study is found to be unsafe. Primary health care facilities were 2.13 times more likely to exhibit unsafe injection practice while secondary health care facilities were 1.45 times more prone to unsafe injection practice as compare to tertiary health care facilities. Conclusion- High frequency of noncompliance to best injection safety practices are widespread in the government facilities. This Situation is even worse in the primary health center and community health center.

Sjogren’s syndrome is a chronic and slowly progressing autoimmune disease characterized by lyphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands resulting in Sicca syndrome (xerostomia and keratocunjuntivitis sicca). The disease can present alone or along with other autoimmune diseases leading to significant organ specific and systemic disease. Middle aged women (Female: Male: 9:1) are primarily affected. Extraglandular (systemic) manifestations are seen in one third of patients with Sjogren’s syndrome. Among the extraglandular manifestations, renal involvement is commonly seen. Renal involvement in the form of tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) is more common compared to glomerular involvement. Distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) is more common manifestation of TIN presenting as mild hypokalemia, metabolic acidosis, and rarely with hypokalemic periodic paralysis. We report three cases of hypokalemic periodic paralysis with metabolic acidosis, two in respiratory paralysis, diagnosed as distal RTA. On further evaluation of distal RTA, the patient diagnosed to have Sjogren’s syndrome and managed accordingly. Our report shows that Sjogren’s syndrome is a rare but important cause of hypokaemic periodic paralysis due to RTA.
Open to Success: Evaluating the impact of the Open Learning Champions project in Scotland
Authors: Ryan Gill , Dancu Lidia
Published: March 2023

The Open Learning Champions project has been running in Scotland since 2016, with the aim of increasing access to higher education by using Open Educational Resources (OER). The project involves partnering with voluntary and community organisations to engage disadvantaged learners who
may be very distant from higher education, with often long and complex journeys into formal study. Evaluating the impact of this pre-access intervention has been a challenge as the university has no direct relationship with the learners, and learner journeys from OpenLearn into OU study are
tracked in different ways on each platform. In a recent evaluation of the project, the authors used a mixed-methods approach, drawing on a range of qualitative and quantitative data gathered over five years to tell the story of the project's impact.
Breaking down barriers to postgraduate study: Taking an access approach through the 'Get into Masters' Study' initiative
Authors: Lowe Tom
Published: March 2023

Widening access and participation in higher education now celebrates decades of success in UK Higher Education (HE), particularly at undergraduate entry-level. Yet similar work at entry-level for postgraduate study is less explored, where due to the increased emphasis on Graduate Outcomes
in UK HE, there is increasing demand and aspiration for postgraduate study from policy makers and students. This research note reports on a series of presentation workshops from the University of Winchester (UK), titled the 'Get into Masters' Study' initiative. These presentations were delivered
in an access approach across Level 5 students to break down barriers to postgraduate study through explaining the practicalities, different options and finances relating to postgraduate study, so students are able to make an informed choice. This paper details the approach taken and topics
covered to inform practice elsewhere, as students increasingly look towards postgraduate study to gain further experiences and enhance their career beyond their degree.
WIDENING PARTICIPATION, EVALUATION AND PERFORMANCE: Using critical discourse analysis to explore performativity within English higher education access and participation plan (2020-2025), regulatory guidance and accompanying texts
Authors: Clements Naomi
Published: March 2023

In England, evidencing impact of higher education widening participation and access activities, such as mentoring programmes, summer schools and school-university partnerships, has become central to conditions of the newly established regulatory body, the Office for Students (OfS).
However, evaluation evidence of these activities remains elusive across the higher education sector (Gorard, 2013; National Centre for Research Methods, 2016; Harrison and Waller, 2017). 'Robust evaluation' (University of Exeter, 2019), is now a core element of the regulatory framework in
England. English policy makers and Government departments are also keen to see evaluation evidence, highlighted by the formation of a new 'What Works' centre specifically focussed on evaluation of access and student success activities (TASO, 2019). Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA),
this article analyses the English regulator's guidance documentation for higher education providers' Access and Participation Plans. It explores how the language of evaluation is framed within the discourses of widening participation and access. The article argues that current discourses promote
performative evaluation methods, rather than an occasion to explore opportunities to develop transformative widening participation (Jones and Thomas, 2005). The article concludes by suggesting that higher education regulators and providers should rethink what constitutes robust evaluation
evidence to facilitate equity in progression to higher education for under-represented groups.
Engaging Low-Skilled Adults in Education and Training: Exploring Participation Rates, Challenges, and Strategies

The need for non-formal education (NFE), which does not result in a formal degree or certificate, is substantial as labour markets often require adult workers to take an initiative in advancing their jobrelated skills. Yet, NFE opportunities are more often pursued by highincome and
high-skilled adults than their low-income and low-skilled counterparts. For this study, we used data from the 2012 Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) for Canada, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the US, to compare participation rates in NFE by medium/high
and low-skilled adults. Additionally, to gain insights of adult education and training policies that promote NFE, international key informant interviews (n = 33) and document reviews were conducted. Findings include (a) as compared to high-skilled adults, low-skilled adults are less likely
to participate in NFE (b) as compared to the US, low-skilled adults in Norway and the Netherlands are more likely to participate in NFE, and (c) NFE is often more acceptable to low-skilled adults, possibly due to previous negative experiences with formal education. These findings are especially
relevant to the increased need for retraining and reskilling as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has negatively impacted low-skilled workers more than their higher skilled counterparts (OECD, 2020a).

The overall objective of all management practices is to get work done efficiently, at the lowest cost, in the best manner possible, using selected and trained personnel and machinery. Absolute best results cannot be achieved without the full effort of skilled employees with the best office equipment and a good harmonious office environment. Effectiveness in the successful execution of office tasks lies in the selection and use of office space. The facilities provided to do the work help to do the work in the best way. Office space is a prime factor for successful business execution. It is also clear that it does not come easily. When deciding on the suitability of a building, the manager should prepare a thorough checklist of requirements. Naturally, each business organization, department, and office has its own unique needs. Priority levels are assigned once the checklist is prepared. Discussing what is important, wanted, and useful with subordinates helps everyone get a sense of ownership while also demonstrating and confirming priority levels
