El consumo adolescente de la ficción seriada
Authors: Fedele Maddalena , García-Muñoz Núria 
Published: September 2015

Se presentan los resultados de una investigación sobre el consumo adolescente de series y seriales televisivos dirigidos a una audiencia juvenil. La preferencia que los jóvenes otorgan a la ficción en su dieta televisiva ha animado la investigación sobre su consumo de ese macrogénero, sobre todo a partir de los años ochenta, coincidiendo con un aumento en la producción de ficción dirigida expresamente a los adolescentes. Hoy en día, para poder investigar el consumo juvenil de ficción, hay que tener en cuenta tanto el actual panorama multimediático, caracterizado por la convergencia y la digitalización, como el consumo multimediático y multitasking de los jóvenes. El objetivo principal del estudio ha sido el de realizar una aproximación teórica al binomio adolescentes y teen series, consideradas como productos de ficción seriada dirigidos a un target juvenil. La aproximación a los estudios sobre recepción juvenil y ficción televisiva llevada a cabo se centra en las aportaciones realizadas en el periodo 1980-2009, en un contexto internacional. Se propone una categorización de los trabajos analizados, a partir de cinco grandes categorías: efecto cultivo, estudio de las motivaciones, apropiación de significados por parte de los jóvenes, construcción de las identidades y consumo y usos de las series.
Definición conceptual de los medios de comunicación por un grupo de jóvenes españoles. El valor de internet
Authors: Bernal Triviño Ana Isabel 
Published: September 2015

El presente artículo analiza la percepción que los jóvenes españoles tienen de los medios de comunicación. El objetivo del estudio es conocer cómo los definen y concretar las fortalezas y debilidades de Internet frente al resto de los medios. Se ha utilizado una metodología cualitativa, con una muestra aleatoria formada por 57 alumnos de tercero de Periodismo de la Universidad de Málaga. Los resultados muestran que la prensa y la radio son medios más distantes para los jóvenes, a diferencia de la televisión e Internet. Sin embargo, la credibilidad de la televisión es peor que la radio y la prensa. En conclusión, los jóvenes valoran más Internet, y consideran que posee una mayor proyección.
Propuesta para el tratamiento eficaz de la violencia de género
Authors: Bandrés Goldáraz Elena 
Published: September 2015

La violencia de género sigue siendo una lacra en la sociedad española a pesar de la promulgación de una ley integral y de la adopción de medidas judiciales. Las decisiones de autorregulación tomadas por parte de los medios de comunicación también han servido para añadir objetividad y neutralidad en este tipo de violencia. Sin embargo, siguen aumentando las muertes de mujeres a manos de sus parejas. Proponemos un cambio radical en la manera de informar para intentar que los medios generen un efecto disuasorio para futuros asesinos y, también, que provoquen una verdadera conciencia social contra este tipo de crímenes. Se trataría de crear un protocolo de actuación por el que el Ministerio del Interior suministre fotografías e imágenes del presunto culpable (tal y como se hace en otros casos de violencia), tanto en la comisaría como en su traslado a la cárcel. Además, los medios deberían adoptar pautas mucho más concretas de actuación que las que actualmente siguen dentro de sus códigos de autorregulación. Consideramos necesario dar a estas noticias un enfoque diferente ya que, sin imagen de los presuntos culpables y sin referencias a los castigos a los que se enfrentan, se está desnaturalizando el drama.

Background and aims. Periodontitis is a common chronic adult condition that implicates oxidative damage to gingival tissue, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. This study aimed at assessing the association between the nitro-oxidative stress and the periodontal tissues destructions in experimental rat periodontitis.Methods. Periodontitis was induced in 15 male albino rats by repetitive lesions to the gingiva adjacent to the inferior incisors, performed daily, for 16 days. On D1, D3, D6, D8, and D16 the onset and evolution of periodontitis were monitored by clinical and histopathological examinations; blood was collected and serum nitro-oxidative stress was evaluated through total nitrites and nitrates, total oxidative status, total antioxidant capacity, and oxidative stress index.Results. The results demonstrated that there was a graded and continuous increase in serum levels of total nitrites and nitrates, total oxidative status and oxidative stress index, which was consistent with the severity of periodontal destructions during periodontitis progression. However, total antioxidant capacity was not significantly influenced by the disease progression.Conclusions. In experimental rat periodontitis, the systemic nitro-oxidative stress was associated with the severity of periodontal destructions assessed clinically and histopathologically. Therefore, systemic nitro-oxidative stress parameters might be used as diagnostic tools in periodontitis.

Background and aim. To assess the role of diffusion weighted imaging sequence (DWI), routinely used in hepatic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the differentiation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) from benign liver lesions.Methods. A number of 56 liver MRI examinations were retrospectively analyzed independently by two experienced radiologists, blinded to each other results. A total number of 70 Focal Liver Lesions (FLLs) assessed by liver MRI in 56 patients were included in the present study. All lesions were retrospectively analyzed by two experienced radiologists, independently from each other and who were not aware of the previous results given by using different imaging techniques. All included FLLs had a final histological diagnosis, or the final diagnosis was based on consensus reading by two experienced radiologists. The signal of the included FLLs was qualitatively appreciated on the b-800 sequences and on the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) map. The ADC value of each FLL was measured and the ADC ratio between the ADC value of the assessed FLL and that of the surrounding liver parenchyma was calculated.Results. The mean ADC value for benign FLLs as assessed by the two independent readers was 1.75 x 10¯³and 1.72 x 10¯³. The mean ADC value for HCC nodules was 0.92 x 10¯³ for the first reader and 0.91 x 10¯³ for the second reader respectively. The mean ADC ratio for benign FLLs was 1.81 and 1.84 for the two readers, respectively. The ADC ratio for HCC nodules was 0.91 and 0.91, respectively. The ADC value is an indicator which is less prone to interobserver variability (correlation of 0.919→1). The ADC ratio has, as the analysis of the ROC curve shows, the best predictive value for differentiation between benign FLLs and HCC nodules. Analysis of the signal intensity on the DWI b-800 image alone is of no significance in differentiating benign FLLs from HCC nodules (p>0.005).Conclusions. The ADC value and the ADC ratio assessed on liver DWI are useful diagnostic tools in the differential diagnosis of benign FLLs vs HCC nodules. Quantitative methods such as calculating the ADC value or ADC ratio have better diagnostic value than qualitative techniques.

Associations of neighborhood‐level workplace violence with workers’ mental distress problems: a multilevel analysis of Taiwanese employees: Li‐Chung Pien, et al. Institute of Health Policy and Management, College of Public Health, National Taiwan University, TaiwanObjectiveWorkplace violence is known to pose mental health risks. However, whether or not workplace violence in a surrounding area might further increase the risk of mental distress in workers has rarely been examined.MethodsThe study subjects were 9,393 male and 7,716 female employees who participated in a nationwide survey in 2010. Their personal experiences of workplace violence over the past 1 year were ascertained by a standardized questionnaire. Also assessed were their psychosocial work characteristics and mental distress problems. Neighborhood‐level workplace violence was computed based on aggregated data at the county level and was categorized into low‐, medium, and high‐level categories. Multilevel logistic regression models were constructed to examine the associations between neighborhood‐level workplace violence and individual‐level mental distress problems, with adjustment of individual‐level experience of workplace violence.FindingsThe neighborhood‐level prevalence of workplace violence ranged from 4.7 to 14.7% in men and from 6.4 to 14.8% in women across 22 counties. As compared with those who live in counties of the lowest tertile of workplace violence, female workers who lived in counties of the highest tertile of workplace violence had a 1.72‐fold increased risk for mental distress problems after controlling for individual experience of workplace violence and other psychosocial work characteristics.ConclusionNeighborhood‐level workplace violence was associated with poor mental health in female workers. Preventative strategies targeting workplace violence should pay attention to neighborhood factors and gender‐specific effects that might influence societal tolerance of abusive work practices and workers’ vulnerability to mental health impacts of workplace violence.
Nederlandse akkoorden in 2000 over Joodse oorlogstegoeden
Authors: Ruppert Christiaan 
Published: September 2015

Dutch Agreements about War Losses of Jewish Property in 2000In 2000 agreements were reached in the Netherlands about Jewish Second World War assets. The Dutch restitution period after World War II had long been closed, but new windows of opportunity were offered in the nineties. As a result, the Dutch Jewish community made agreements with the Dutch insurance companies, government, banks and the stock exchange. These agreements have received international recognition. In this article notions from the Transitional Justiceliterature are used to analyse what happened in the renewed restitution process of the Netherlands. The Dutch case exemplifies how the concepts restitution, compensation and satisfaction can be valuable and applicable, hereby helping to illustrate how new ideas about law and justice concerning the Jewish World War II assets have prevailed since 2000. In 2000 worden er in Nederland akkoorden gesloten over Joodse oorlogstegoeden. Waar het naoorlogse rechtsherstel in strikt juridische zin afgesloten is, worden alsnog openingen geboden om tot correcties en aanvullingen te komen. Vertegenwoordigers van de Nederlands Joodse gemeenschap sluiten akkoorden met de verzekeraars, de regering, de banken en de beurs. Deze akkoorden worden internationaal erkend. Om deze akkoorden te begrijpen, zijn begrippenen theorieën ontleend aan Transitional Justice behulpzaam. Het ruime en ambigue begrip ‘reparations’ kan gebruikt worden om de uitkomsten van het Nederlandse restitutieproces te waarderen. ‘Reparations’ omvat restitutie, compensatie en het aanbieden van excuses. De Nederlandse casus onderstreept dat deze begrippen van praktische betekenis kunnen zijn. Zo laten deze begrippen zien dat nieuwe inzichten over recht en rechtvaardigheid gaan gelden over de Joodse oorlogstegoeden.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize and compare gait variables in Doberman Pinschers with and without cervical spondylomyelopathy (CSM).
ANIMALS 18 Doberman Pinschers (9 clinically normal dogs and 9 CSM-affected dogs).
PROCEDURES A neurologic examination was performed on all dogs. The diagnosis of CSM was confirmed with MRI. Temporospatial and kinetic gait variables were measured by use of a pressure-sensitive walkway. Temporospatial variables evaluated included stance phase duration, swing phase duration, gait cycle duration, stride length, and gait velocity. Kinetic variables evaluated included peak vertical force and vertical impulse. Random-effects linear regression was used to determine the difference between CSM-affected and clinically normal dogs for each of the 7 variables.
RESULTS Values for temporospatial variables were significantly smaller in the thoracic limbs of CSM-affected dogs, compared with values for the thoracic limbs of clinically normal dogs. For the kinetic variables, peak vertical force was significantly higher in the thoracic limbs than the pelvic limbs for all dogs. Vertical impulse values were higher in the thoracic limbs than the pelvic limbs. There were significant differences in mean vertical impulse between the thoracic and pelvic limbs for both groups.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE In this study, significant differences in temporospatial variables were identified between the thoracic limbs of clinically normal and CSM-affected dogs, with the values being smaller for the CSM-affected dogs than for the clinically normal dogs. A pressure-sensitive walkway may provide a valid, practical option for rapid, objective assessment of gait and response to treatment in dogs with CSM.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine effects of a microalgae nutritional product on insulin sensitivity in horses.
ANIMALS 8 healthy mature horses.
PROCEDURES Horses (n = 4/group) received a basal diet without (control diet) or with docosahexaenoic acid–rich microalgae meal (150 g/d) for 49 days (day 0 = first day of diet). On day 28, an isoglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp procedure was performed. Horses then received dexamethasone (0.04 mg/kg/d) for 21 days. On day 49, the clamp procedure was repeated. After a 60-day washout, horses received the alternate diet, and procedures were repeated. Plasma fatty acid, glucose, and insulin concentrations and glucose and insulin dynamics during the clamp procedure were measured on days 28 and 49. Two estimates of insulin sensitivity (reciprocal of the square root of the insulin concentration and the modified insulin-to-glucose ratio for ponies) were calculated.
RESULTS Baseline glucose and insulin concentrations or measures of insulin sensitivity on day 28 did not differ between horses when fed the control diet or the basal diet plus microalgae meal. On day 49 (ie, after dexamethasone administration), the microalgae meal was associated with lower baseline insulin and glucose concentrations and an improved modified insulin-to-glucose ratio for ponies, compared with results for the control diet.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Although the microalgae meal had no effect on clamp variables following dexamethasone treatment, it was associated with improved plasma glucose and insulin concentrations and insulin sensitivity estimates. A role for microalgae in the nutritional management of insulin-resistant horses warrants investigation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate effects of laser treatment on incisional wound healing in ball pythons (Python regius).
ANIMALS 6 healthy adult ball pythons.
PROCEDURES Snakes were sedated, a skin biopsy specimen was collected for histologic examination, and eight 2-cm skin incisions were made in each snake; each incision was closed with staples (day 0). Gross evaluation of all incision sites was performed daily for 30 days, and a wound score was assigned. Four incisions of each snake were treated (5 J/cm2 and a wavelength of 980 nm on a continuous wave sequence) by use of a class 4 laser once daily for 7 consecutive days; the other 4 incisions were not treated. Two excisional skin biopsy specimens (1 control and 1 treatment) were collected from each snake on days 2, 7, 14, and 30 and evaluated microscopically. Scores were assigned for total inflammation, degree of fibrosis, and collagen maturity. Generalized linear models were used to investigate the effect of treatment on each variable.
RESULTS Wound scores for laser-treated incisions were significantly better than scores for control incisions on day 2 but not at other time points. There were no significant differences in necrosis, fibroplasia, inflammation, granuloma formation, or bacterial contamination between control and treatment groups. Collagen maturity was significantly better for the laser-treated incisions on day 14.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Laser treatment resulted in a significant increase in collagen maturity at day 14 but did not otherwise significantly improve healing of skin incisions.
Physiographic factors affecting the stratigraphy of peat deposits in the Lower Basin of the Biebrza River / Czynniki fizjograficzne wpływające na stratygrafię złoża torfu w Dolnym Basenie Doliny Biebrzy
Authors: Jaros Henryk 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Analyses of water conditions in the Lower Basin of the Biebrza River and deposit stratigraphy were conducted in cross-sections through the valley, where geodetic measurements were also made. Peat type in particular layers of the soil profile was determined in selected cross-sections at 100 m intervals. The Lower Basin of the Biebrza River is diverse with regard to the type of water supply to a peatbog, the shape of the bio-accumulative basin’s bottom and the slope of peatbog surface along and across the valley. These factors resulted in the development of different habitats in the peatbog. Northern part of the Lower Basin, between the main road in the village Osowiec and the inflows of the Kosódka and Wissa rivers to the Biebrza River, is a narrow valley supplied mainly with overflowing water of the Biebrza River. Habitats and hydrogenic deposits of this area developed in relation to the type and layout of mineral substratum and to the duration and depth of seasonal flooding. North-west part is mainly supplied by ground water from the adjacent upland. Peat layers, developed on ground waters flowing out from the upland, markedly slope toward the bed of the Biebrza River. Considerable fluctuations of the ground water level can be observed there and most frequently the sites are periodically drying. Part of the valley, from the inflows of the Kosódka and Wissa rivers down to the Biebrza and Narew River confluence, is mainly supplied with underground waters from upland.
The role of immunity and neuroinflammation in genetic predisposition and pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease
Authors: Yoon Seoyoung , Kim Yong-Ku 
Published: September 2015

AbstractAlzheimer's disease is an important public concern with rising prevalence across the globe. While many therapeutic approaches for Alzheimer's disease have been developed, there are currently no validated disease-modifying treatments. Thus, in order to develop novel treatment strategies, there is a significant need to progress our understanding of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Several large genome-wide association studies and whole genome and exome sequencing studies have identified novel genes associated with late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Interestingly, many of the genes are associated with inflammation and the immune system, including complement receptor 1, clusterin, CD33, EPH receptor A1, membrane-spanning 4-domains subfamily A, ATP-binding cassette sub-family A member 7, major histocompatibility complex class II, inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase, myocyte enhancer factor 2C, and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2. The pathogenetic contributions of immune reaction and neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease have been regarded largely as part of amyloid cascade hypothesis. The neurotoxic amyloid-β (Aβ) induces activation of immune cells, such as microglia, astrocytes, perivascular macrophages and lymphocytes and decreased capability of clearing Aβ by immune system and chronic inflammation caused by activated immune cells aggravate neuronal damage and eventually Alzheimer's disease. But the precise mechanism and hereditary impact on such process is largely unknown. The current findings in genetic studies suggest that the immunological mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease may extend beyond passive reaction of Aβ, including the development of Alzheimer's disease such as time of onset and rate of progression. In this article, we aimed to review the mechanisms of immune reaction and neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease, with an emphasis on the function of genes known to be associated with a risk of Alzheimer's disease in terms of neuroinflammation and immune function.
Spatial and temporal distribution of coloured dissolved organic matter in a hypertrophic freshwater lagoon

Published: September 2015

<p>A dataset of 224 Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) full resolution satellite images were processed to retrieve the concentration of coloured dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in a hypertrophic estuary (Curonian Lagoon, Lithuania and Russia). Images covered a period of 7 months, spanning from the ice melting (March) to the late summer (September) of 7 consecutive years (2005-2011). The aim of the study was to analyse the spatial and temporal variations of CDOM, by focusing on the main regulating factors (riverine discharge, sea-lagoon water exchange, water temperature, chlorophyll <em>a</em>, wind) in a large estuary. The working hypothesis is that CDOM distribution may reveal distinct, site specific seasonal patterns. Our results demonstrated that CDOM concentrations at the whole lagoon level were elevated (1.5-4 m<sup>-1</sup>) and slightly but significantly higher in spring (1.50 m<sup>-1</sup> on average) compared to the summer (1.45 m<sup>-1</sup> on average). This is due to very different flow of CDOM-rich freshwater from the main lagoon tributary in spring compared to summer. They also highlight macroscopic differences among areas within the lagoon, depending on season, suggesting a complex regulation of CDOM in this system. Significant factors explaining observed differences are the dilution of lagoon water with CDOM-poor brackish water, regeneration of large amounts of dissolved organic matter from sediments and combinations of uptake/release from phytoplankton. CDOM and its variations are understudied due to inherent methodological and analytical difficulties. However, this pool has a demonstrated relevant role in the biogeochemistry of aquatic environments. We speculate that the dissolved organic pool in the Curonian Lagoon has a mainly allochthonous origin in the high discharge period and an autochthonous origin in the summer, algal bloom period. Both positive and negative relationships between CDOM and phytoplankton suggest that pelagic microalgae may act as a source or as a sink of this pool, in particular when inorganic nutrients are limiting. </p>
