La libertad afectivo-sexual: algunas reflexiones y retos
Authors: Vicente Torrado Trinidad L. 
Published: February 2024

La sexualidad nos acompaña desde el nacimiento y tiene un papel esencial en el proceso de desarrollo de las personas. Hablar de libertad afectivo-sexual es hablar de autoestima, de afectos, de placer, de igualdad de hombres y mujeres, de respeto a las diferentes orientaciones sexuales... Si se pretende construir una sociedad en la que hombres y mujeres podamos convivir en igualdad, sin discriminaciones y sin violencia machista, es imposible separar sexualidad y afectividad. Y hablar de libertad afectivo-sexual es también hablar de sensibilización y de prevención de la violencia sexual. Estas han sido precisamente temáticas abordadas en el conversatorio «Libertad afectivo-sexual», en el que participaron Ana de Miguel, Sindy Takanashi, Espacio Regadera y Miguel Lorente, dentro del Congreso Emakumeak organizado por la Diputación Foral de Bizkaia. Y es a partir de este conversatorio que se escribe esta relatoría, presentada en el marco de dicho congreso.

Solution Porosity of Dolomites in the Calcareous – Phosphatic Facies of
the Monterey Formation, Pismo Basin, California
Authors: Surdam R.C. , Prezbindowski D. , Kablanow R.I. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
In the calcareous-phosphatic facies of the Miocene Monterey Formation in the Pismo Basin, there is significant development of enhanced porosity due to solution of dolomite (see Fig. 1 and 2). The calcareous-phosphatic facies has been described in detail by Surdam and Stanley (1981). This facies consists of interbedded foraminiferal and coccolith oozes that have been extensively dolomitized and phosphatic dolostone (see Fig. 3). The dissolution of dolomite is particularly prominent in the phosphatic dolostones. These rocks average 10 wt. % organic carbon, but can have up to 20 wt. % TOC and 15% P2O5.
Stratigraphic and Sedimentologic Framework of the Monterey Formation,
Pismo Syncline, California

Abstract
The Miocene Monterey Formation in the Pismo Syncline, San Luis Obispo County, California, is characterized by the following lithofacies: 1) diat-omite, 2) carbonate, 3) phosphate, and 4) siliciclas-tic siltstone. The Pismo Syncline is a relatively simple fold that served as a depositional basin during most of the Miocene and Pliocene. During deposition of the Monterey Formation, the Pismo Basin was separated into two parts by a positive volcanic high running parallel to the San Miguelito fault along the western edge of the Basin. That portion of the Basin northeast of the topographic high received 1500 meters of Monterey sediment, whereas the portion of the Basin to the southwest of the high received 300 to 600 meters of sediment.
The Monterey Formation in the central portion of the Pismo Syncline consists of a thick section of silty diatomaceous sediments. In contrast, the Monterey Formation along the western edge of the Basin (west of the topographic high) is characterized by carbonate and phosphatic-rich rocks, as well as diatomaceous rocks. The volcanic ridge acted as an effective barrier to siliciclastic sediments entering the Pismo Basin from the east. Current directional features in the Monterey rocks in the western portion of the Pismo Basin suggest that much of the calcareous, phosphatic and diatomaceous material was originally deposited or formed in situ on the slopes of the topographic high and was later swept downslope into the lower portions of the Basin.
In the Monterey Formation along the western side of the Pismo Syncline there is an upward trend of carbonate → phosphate → diatomite sedimentation. This vertical trend in sedimentation can be correlated to the Miocene sea level changes described by Vail and Hardenbol (1979).

Published: February 2024

Summary
The elucidation of the competitive adsorption behaviors between CO2 and CH4 holds great importance in the context of improving natural gas recovery in shale reservoirs. Shale rock, as a complex porous medium, exhibits a highly interconnected multiscale pore network with pore size spanning from several to tens of nanometers. Nevertheless, accurately capturing the adsorption effects and studying the CO2/CH4 competitive adsorption within a large-scale, realistic, 3D nanoporous matrix remains a significant challenge. In this paper, we proposed a novel lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) coupled molecular simulation to investigate CO2/CH4 competitive adsorption in 3D shale nanoporous media. The initial step involves conducting Grand Canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) simulations to simulate the competitive adsorption behaviors of CO2 and CH4 in kerogen and illite slit pores, with the aim of obtaining the atomic density distribution. Subsequently, a Shan-Chen-based lattice Boltzmann (LB) simulation is used under identical conditions. By coupling the molecular simulation results, the fluid-solid interaction parameters are determined. Finally, LB simulations are performed in designed 3D porous media, utilizing the fluid-solid interaction parameters. The effects of mineral type, CO2 concentration, and pore structure on competitive adsorption behaviors are discussed carefully. Our research offers significant contributions to the improvement of gas recovery and carbon geological sequestration through the examination of CO2/CH4 competitive adsorption in nanoporous media. Additionally, it serves as a link between molecular and pore-scale phenomena by leveraging the benefits of both molecular simulations and pore-scale simulations.

Abstract

Agriculture serves as a vital sector in Tunisia, supporting the nation's economy and ensuring food production. However, the detrimental impact of plant diseases on crop yield and quality presents a significant challenge for farmers. In this context, computer vision techniques have emerged as promising tools for automating disease detection processes. This paper focuses on the application of the YOLOv5 algorithm for the simultaneous detection and localization of multiple plant diseases on leaves. By using a self-generated dataset and employing techniques such as augmentation, anchor clustering, and segmentation, the study aims to enhance detection accuracy. An ablation study comparing YOLOv5s and YOLOv5x models demonstrates the superior performance of YOLOv5x, achieving a mean average precision (mAP) of 96.5%.
Contextualizing the Job Demands-Resources Model across Healthcare Workers: A Cross-sectional Study of the Psychosocial Work Environment in Healthcare

Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background
The deteriorating psychosocial work environment among healthcare workers in Sweden, influenced by demanding working conditions and resource constraints, affects individual well-being and patient care quality. Healthcare workers, including physicians, registered nurses, and assistant nurses, often work interdependently and share workplaces yet are three completely different professions. Nonetheless, comprehensive studies comparing their psychosocial work environments are scarce; often focusing on healthcare workers either separately or as a homogenous group, but rarely comparative.
Aim
Utilizing the Job Demands-Resources model this study investigated variations in the psychosocial work environment among Swedish healthcare workers. We wanted to identify how the antecedents of individual well-being, in the form of demands and resources, differed between healthcare workers.
Method
Data from the 2022 Longitudinal Occupational Health Survey for Health Care Professionals in Sweden were analysed; the participants included 7589 physicians, registered nurses, and assistant nurses. The analysis involved descriptive statistics, including measures of means and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), employing the Bonferroni correction for multiple post hoc comparisons. The ANCOVA was also stratified by working factors, including years of work experience and employment within the private/public sector.
Results
The study revealed significant variations in how healthcare workers perceive their psychosocial work environment. Physicians faced the highest level of Quantitative Demands (Mean (x̄) 3.15; 95% CI: 3.11–3.19), while registered nurses reported the most Emotional Demands (x̄ 3.37; 95% CI: 3.32–3.41). Assistant nurses had the highest grand means for the imbalance between Efforts and Rewards (Effort Reward Imbalance) (x̄ 1.49; 95% CI: 1.49–1.49) and an imbalance between Work and Private Life (Work-Life Interference) (x̄ 3.20, 95% CI: 3.15–3.25), along with limited resources. The stratified analysis showed that years of experience and the sector affected healthcare workers' perceptions of their psychosocial working environment. For example, registered nurses working in the private sector reported better working conditions than nurses working in the public sector. The situation for assistant nurses was reversed.
Conclusion
Differentive psychosocial work environments are experienced differently both between and within different healthcare occupations in Sweden. This study provides crucial insights for improving workplace conditions and consequently enhancing healthcare professionals’ well-being and quality of patient care.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Alternative splicing is the process of multiple mRNAs from a single pre mRNA under the action of the spliceosome and other splicing factors. SMNDC1 (survival motor neuron domain containing 1) has been identified as a constituent of the spliceosome complex. Previous studies indicated that SMNDC1 is required for splicing catalysis in vitro and regulates intron retention in cancer. However, the phylogenetic relationships and expression profiles of SMNDC1 have not been systematically studied in the animal kingdom. To this end, in our work, the phylogenetic analysis of SMNDC1 genes was widely performed in the animal kingdom. Specifically, a total of 72 SMNDC1 genes were identified from 66 animal species. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the gene structure and function of SMNDC1 proteins are relatively conserved, and only a few members have two copies. In particular, the human SMNDC1 gene is highly expressed in multiple cancer types, including breast cancer, colon cancer and rectal cancer, indicating that SMNDC1 may play an essential role in cancer development and may be used as a valuable diagnostic or therapeutic protein target in clinical treatment. In summary, our findings facilitated a comprehensive overview of the animal SMNDC1 gene family, and provided a basic data and potential clues for the further study of molecular functions of SMNDC1.

Published: February 2024

Abstract

The anticipated surge in urban populations, an additional 2.5 billion people until 2050, presents environmental challenges affecting both local ecosystems and the global environment. While various studies explore these impacts individually, integrated approaches are scarce. This study introduces a spatially explicit model to assess the impact of urbanization on both ecosystem services provisioning (green infrastructure availability, cooling, stormwater retention), and the global environmental impact associated with building construction (primary material demand, greenhouse gas emissions, land use). Applied to the Netherlands from 2018 to 2050, our results reveal that despite a growing building stock, integrating green infrastructure development with building construction could expand green areas by up to 5%, resulting in stabilization or an increase in ecosystem service provision. We found that the preference for dense or sparse urbanization depends on the sustainability aspect under study and the scale and scope of analysis. The findings improve our understanding of the environmental consequences of urbanization, guiding sustainable urban planning practices.

Abstract
Cisplatin (CP) is a widely utilized anticancer drug but is associated with significant side effects, notably acute kidney injury (AKI). Eucommia ulmoides leaf (EUL), a valuable Chinese herbal remedy, is known for its renoprotective properties. However, the function and underlying pathways of EUL in AKI therapy have remained largely unexplored. This research aimed to elucidate the protective roles of EUL in an AKI mouse model through biochemical assays, and histopathological andexaminations while also investigating the underlying mechanisms via endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-related protein expression analysis and metabolomics. The findings demonstrated that pretreatment with orally administered EUL significantly reduced blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) levels, ameliorated CP-induced kidney histopathological injuries, and attenuated CP-induced ER stress by reducing the protein expressions of PERK, IRE 1α, GRP78, ATF6, ATF4, and CHOP. Additionally, metabolomics analysis identified 31 significant differential metabolites affected by EUL treatment in AKI mice, impacting pathways related to taurine and hypotaurine metabolism, lysine degradation, and steroid hormone biosynthesis. These findings suggested that EUL could offer valuable insights for potential CP-induced AKI treatment strategies.
Optimization of placement of continuous air monitors in a radiological facility

Published: February 2024

Abstract

Airborne radioactive materials are encountered in the atmosphere of any radiological facility. Their concentration is affected by the ventilation system and/or air purification system and by the processes of the facility. Continuous air monitors (CAMs) are installed in these workplaces during both routine and non-routine operations to monitor the ambient air quality in terms of concentration of airborne radioactive aerosols and trigger interventions. The location for these monitors is typically determined by rules of thumb like direction of maximum air flow. The aerodynamic behaviour of aerosols does not follow the behaviour of air streamlines and this poses a question on the appropriateness of selection of location of CAMs. Addressing this issue, we used a computational fluid dynamics model coupled to aerosol dynamics code to calculate a parameter termed as CAM placement parameter (CPP) that estimates the relative merit of positioning the CAMs in a radiological facility. Our method involved simulation of dispersing aerosol particles in a typical geometry of such a facility. The results imply that inclusion of aerosol microphysical processes (coagulation, gravitational settling, turbophoresis, thermophoresis etc) in the flow dynamics can help to determine the CPP in workplace environment and therefore minimize the occupational exposure.

Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background
Faculty development programs (FDPs) in health professions education (HPE) are instrumental in supporting, promoting, and improving HPE curricula and activities that target individual- and system-level capacity strengthening. FAIMER, a division of Intealth, has been offering FDPs for global health professions educators in HPE and leadership for over two decades through the International FAIMER Institute in USA and FAIMER Regional Institutes located globally. This paper examines the long-term impact of FAIMER's global FDPs by eliciting stories of success from program participants (Fellows).
Methods
The study utilizes a modified Success Case Method approach. Study participants recruited were 14 FAIMER Fellows nominated as exemplars of success cases by program directors and faculty members from seven global sites, using extreme case sampling technique. Of the 14 Fellows, two were from Africa, nine from Asia and three from Latin America. In-depth interviews were conducted with each Fellow to understand their self-perceived success and factors from both their local context and FAIMER’s FDPs that have contributed to their success. Theoretical thematic analysis method was used to analyze the data.
Results
The top three emergent areas of success perceived by Fellows were career advancement & recognition, professional development, and advancement of HPE. Fellows identified both institution-level factors and personal attributes as contributing to their success. They also reported that FAIMER’s FDPs have substantially contributed to their success by expanding professional networks, fostering academic achievement, and enhancing interpersonal development and leadership skills.
Conclusions
The findings show the long-term impact of FAIMER’s FDPs in advancing the field of HPE which is reflected by the multiple pathways for Fellows to succeed. The Fellow stories highlight the continuing value of FAIMER’s global FDP for HPE educators worldwide in professional development and leadership. The study also proposes recommendations for enhancing faculty development activities in HPE for long-term impact.
Restricted hybridisation in the secondary contact zone of closely related haplodiploid social spider mites

Published: February 2024

Abstract
How frequently hybridisation and gene flow occur in the contact zones of diverging taxa is important for understanding the speciation process.Stigmaeopsis sabelisi and Stigmaeopsis miscanthi HG form are haplodiploid, social spider mites that infest the Chinese silver grass, Miscanthus sinensis. These two species are closely related and parapatrically distributed in Japan. In mountainous areas, S. sabelisi and S. miscanthi HG form are often found in the highlands and lowlands, respectively, suggesting that they are in contact at intermediate altitudes. It is estimated that they diverged from their common ancestors distributed in subtropical regions (south of Japan) during the last glacial period, expanded their distribution into the Japanese Archipelago, and came to have such a parapatric distribution (secondary contact). As their reproductive isolation is strong but incomplete, hybridisation and genetic introgression are expected at their distributional boundaries. In this study, we investigated their spatial distribution patterns along the elevation on Mt. Amagi using male morphological differences and investigated their hybridisation status using single-nucleotide polymorphisms by MIG-seq. We found their contact zone at altitudes of 150–430 m, suggesting that their contact zone is prevalent in the parapatric area, which is in line with a previous study. Interspecific mating was predicted based on the sex ratio in the contact zone. However, no obvious hybrids were found, and genetic introgression was estimated to be extremely low. Here, we discuss why gene flow is extremely restricted to the contact zone.

Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background
Managing diagnostic uncertainty is a major challenge in primary care due to factors such as the absence of definitive tests, variable symptom presentations and disease evolution. Maintaining patient trust during a period of investigative uncertainty, whilst minimising scope for diagnostic error is a challenge. Mismanagement can lead to diagnostic errors, treatment delays, and suboptimal patient outcomes.
Objective
Our aim was to explore how UK primary care physicians (GPs) address and communicate diagnostic uncertainty in practice.
Design
This qualitative study used video and audio-recordings. Verbatim transcripts were coded with a modified, validated tool to capture GPs’ actions and communication in primary care consultations that included diagnostic uncertainty. The tool includes items relating to advice regarding new symptoms or symptom deterioration (sometimes called ‘safety netting’). Video data was analysed to identify GP and patient body postures during and after the delivery of the management plan.
Participants
All patient participants had a consultation with a GP, were over the age of 50 and had (1) at least one new presenting problem or (2) one persistent problem that was undiagnosed.
Approach
Data collection occurred in GP-patient consultations during 2017-2018 across 7 practices in UK during 2017-2018.
Key Results
GPs used various management strategies to address diagnostic uncertainty, including (1) symptom monitoring without treatment, (2) prescribed treatment with symptom monitoring, and (3) addressing risks that could arise from administrative tasks. GPs did not make management plans for potential treatment side effects. Specificity of uncertainty management plans varied among GPs, with only some offering detailed actions and timescales. The transfer of responsibility for the management plan to patients was usually delivered rather than negotiated, with most patients confirming acceptance before concluding the discussion.
Conclusions
We offer guidance to healthcare professionals, improving awareness of using and communicating management plans for diagnostic uncertainty.
