Published: November 2022

Abstract: En el presente artículo colectivo hemos pretendido analizar los cambios y la evolución, las emergencias y tambien las ausencias que se observan en el espectro ecologista de Gipuzkoa en la última década y una década en que la actividad armada de ETA desaparece y en que el Gobierno de la provincia para a manos de de la coalición ( 2011-2015) EH Bildu. En este novedoso contexto político e institucional hemos entrevistado, observado y analizado el movimiento ecologista guipuzcoano en sus dimensiones organizativas, sus alianzas y campañas, sus relaciones con la instituciones locales y con los medios de comunicación y sus relaciones internas ( diversidad, edades, sexo-genero, migrantes, idiomas, etc). Nos preguntabamos al inicio de nuestra investigación, dónde estaban los cambios y las emergencias de nuevas formas de pensar y actuar en los movimientos sociales de Gipuzkoa y en concreto del ecologismo y partiamos de la hipótesis de que había una hibridación entre un ecologismo clásico centrado en el NO a los proyectos desarrollados por empresas e instituciones y otro que denominamos “ecoalternativo” más orientado a proponer nuevas formas de vivir, de actuar y de relacionarse hacia dentro y hacia fuera. Y en segundo lugar que la llegada al gobierno de la provincia de un grupo político más afín a los postulados ecologistas no ha supuesto el comienzo de una alianza fácil y segura con la institución, sino más bien un periodo donde el ecologismo ha descubierto sus debilidades y dificultades para trabajar institucionalmente.

Published: November 2022

In this paper, a novel, to the best of our knowledge, polymer-based negative curvature ring-core fiber (NC-RCF) is proposed and investigated. The hollow-core NC-RCF is composed of TOPAS as background material. The inner and outer negative curvature structure layers are connected to the annular area, and the orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes can propagate in the annular core. In the frequency region of 1.0–1.5 THz, the designed NC-RCF can stably transmit 82 OAM modes. Investigation results indicate that the effective refractive index differences between the corresponding HE and EH modes are above

Published: November 2022

BackgroundCommunity presence of loiasis must be determined before mass drug administration programmes for lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis can be implemented. However, taking human blood samples for loiasis surveillance is invasive and operationally challenging. A xenosurveillance approach based on the molecular screening of mosquitoes and their excreta/feces (E/F) forLoa loaDNA may provide a non-invasive method for detecting the community presence of loiasis.MethodsWe collected 770 wild mosquitoes during a pilot study in a known loiasis transmission area in Mbalmayo, Cameroon. Of these, 376 were preserved immediately while 394 were kept in pools to collect 36-hour E/F samples before processing. Carcasses and E/F were screened forL.loaDNA. To demonstrate this method’s potential for integrated disease surveillance, the samples were further tested forWuchereria bancrofti,Mansonella perstans, andPlasmodium falciparum.ResultsDespite limited sample numbers,L.loaDNA was detected in eight immediately-stored mosquitoes (2.13%; 95% CI 1.08 to 4.14), one carcass stored after providing E/F (0.25%; 95% CI 0.04 to 1.42), and three E/F samples (estimated prevalence 0.77%; 95% CI 0.15 to 2.23%).M.perstansandP.falciparumDNA were also detected in carcasses and E/F samples, whileW.bancroftiDNA was detected in E/F. None of the carcasses positive for filarial worm DNA came from pools that provided a positive E/F sample, supporting the theory that, in incompetent vectors, ingested parasites undergo a rapid, complete expulsion in E/F.ConclusionsMosquito xenosurveillance may provide a useful tool for the surveillance of loiasis alongside other parasitic diseases.
The effect of exercising in different environments on heart rate and power output among older adults–a randomized crossover study
Authors: Ahnesjö Jonas , Karlsson Peter S. , Bergman Patrick 
Published: November 2022

BackgroundA growing body of evidence suggests that exposure to nature is beneficial for human health. However, the observed health effect of nature may be mediated by physical activity and that humans are physically active at a higher intensity outdoors compared to when they are physical active indoors.ObjectiveThis study examines the variation of heart rate and power output for a fixed rating of perceived exertion in a group of healthy older adults in three different environments representing three levels of exposure to nature.MethodsTo this randomized, 3-by-3 crossover design study, healthy older adults (≥65 years) were recruited from local gyms. All participants participated in three experimental conditions; indoors, simulated outdoors and outdoor environments, in a randomized order. The participants exercised for 20 minutes at an intensity equivalent to a rating of 11–13 on the Borg scale for perceived exertion (RPE). Measurements of heart rate, power output (Watt) and ratings of perceived exertion were taken at minutes 1 to 6 and at minute 20. To examine the effect of the environment on heart rate and power, linear mixed models were used.ResultsIn all, 48 participants (56% females) were included in the analysis. No significant main effects on the outcomes were observed for power output (p = 0.073, η2= 0.04) or heart rate (p = 0.067, η2= 0.04)ConclusionNo significant effect on the outcomes was observed. However, borderline significant outcomes for power output or heart rate outdoors in nature, along with previous studies in the field, indicates that such an effect cannot be completely ruled out, but any effect is likely to be small. Future research examining health benefits of the independent exposure to nature are encouraged to adjust for the dose of physical activity.Trial registrationID:ISRCTN22230544.
Motives for competitive sports participation in masters track and field athletes: Impact of sociodemographic factors and competitive background
Authors: Kontro Titta K. , Bondarev Dmitriy , Pyykönen Kukka-Maaria , von Bonsdorff Mikaela , Laakso Lauri , Suominen Harri , Korhonen Marko T. 
Published: November 2022

Objectives
Masters athletes due to their lifelong engagement in sport represent a unique group to study motivation for regular physical activity, but there is less scientific data on the sport motives in masters athletes. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the association of age, sex, education, nationality, competitive background and training amount with sport motives of masters track and field athletes.

Methods
811 (254 women) athletes aged 35–89 years participated in European Veterans Athletics Championships in the year of 2000. Sport motives were assessed with a questionnaire and categorized into1) well-being, 2) competitive and performance 3) health and fitness motives.

Results
Men considered health and fitness motives more important than women (p = 0.022). Over 65-year-old athletes considered health and fitness motives more important than the youngest, 35-49-year age group (p<0.001). Education was not associated with sport motives, while motives varied significantly among different nationalities. Athletes from Nordic Countries considered well-being motives more important than Southern Europeans (p<0.001) or Western Europeans (p<0.05). Athletes from Nordic Countries (p = 0.003), Eastern Europe (p<0.001) and Central Europe (p<0.001) found health and fitness motives more meaningful than athletes from the British Isles. Furthermore, athletes with competitive background before the age of 35 and training amount more than 7.5 h a week found competitive and performance motives more important than athletes without a competitive history (p = 0.002).

Conclusions
These results suggest that age, sex, nationality and former athleticism are associated with sports motives among international level masters track and field athletes. It seems that while for masters athletes with competitive background performance motives dominate, for older adults, particularly for males, health and fitness motives are more important. In addition, when designing the exercise interventions for older adults, different sport motives across countries should be considered.
Actionable tests and treatments for patients with gastrointestinal cancers and historically short median survival times
Authors: Bruckner Howard W. , Bassali Fred , Dusowitz Elisheva , Gurell Daniel , Book Abe , De Jager Robert 
Published: November 2022

Background
Patients have difficult unmet needs when standard chemotherapy produces a median survival of less than 1 year or many patients will experience severe toxicities. Blood tests can predict their survival.

Methods
Analyses evaluate predictive blood tests to identify patients who often survive 1 and 2 years. A four-test model includes: albumin, absolute neutrophil count, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio. Individual tests include: alkaline phosphatase, lymphocytes, white blood count, platelet count, and hemoglobin. Eligible patients have advanced: resistant 3rd line colorectal, and both resistant and new pancreatic and intrahepatic bile duct cancers. Eligibility characteristics include: biopsy-proven, measurable metastatic disease, NCI grade 0–2 blood tests, Karnofsky Score 100–50, and any adult age. Drugs are given at 1/4–1/3 of their standard dosages biweekly: gemcitabine, irinotecan, fluorouracil, leucovorin, and day 2 oxaliplatin every 2 weeks. In case of progression, Docetaxel is added (except colon cancer), with or without Mitomycin C, and next cetuximab (except pancreatic and KRAS BRAF mutation cancers). Bevacizumab is substituted for cetuximab in case of another progression or ineligibility. Consent was written and conforms with Helsinki, IRB, and FDA criteria (FDA #119005).

Results
Median survival is 14.5 months. Of 205 patients, 60% survive 12, and 37% survive 24 months (95% CI ± 8%). Survival is > 24, 13, and 3.8 months for patients with 0, 1–2, and 3–4 unfavorable tests, respectively. Individual “favorable and unfavorable” tests predict long and short survival. Neither age nor prior therapy discernibly affects survival. Net rates of clinically significant toxicities are less than 5%.

Conclusion
Treatments reproduce predictable, greater than 12 and 24-month chances of survival for the aged and for patients with drug-resistant tumors. Evaluation of blood tests may change practice, expand eligibility, and personalize treatments. Findings support investigation of drug combinations and novel dosages to reverse resistance and improve safety.

Objective
We previously showed that low serum bilirubin levels are associated with disability in quality of daily living in older patients with diabetes. However, the underlying mechanism is not fully understood. The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between serum bilirubin levels and skeletal muscle mass in older patients with type2 diabetes.

Methods
A total of 272 older patients with type2 diabetes (152 male and 120 female) aged 60 years and over were continuously recruited from April 2020 to July 2020. Body composition was evaluated by bioelectrical impedance analysis. The skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) was calculated as appendicular muscle mass divided by height squared (m2).

Results
The SMI was markedly lower in old-old patients (aged 75 years and over) than in young-old patients (aged 60–74 years) in both male and female (7.1 ± 0.8 kg/m2 vs 7.6 ± 0.9 kg/m2, P<0.001; 5.5 ± 0.9 kg/m2 vs 6.3 ± 0.8 kg/m2, P<0.001, respectively). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the SMI was associated with body mass index (BMI) (p<0.001) and age (p = 0.048) in male young-old patients, while it was associated with BMI (p<0.001), age (p = 0.008), and serum indirect bilirubin levels (p = 0.038) in male old-old patients. In female, the SMI was associated with BMI (p<0.001) and age (p = 0.042) in young-old patients and associated with BMI alone (p<0.001) in old-old patients.

Conclusion
Serum indirect bilirubin levels may be associated with the decreased skeletal muscle mass in male older patients (aged 75 years and over) with type 2 diabetes.
