Importance of hygiene and handling practices in pig slaughterhouses for public health
Get PDFPara garantizar que la carne de cerdo sea segura para su consumo, las empresas deben cumplir la legislación, implantando un sistema de autocontrol basado en el APPCC y llevando a cabo una correcta formación de los trabajadores en cuanto a buenas prácticas de higiene y manipulación de los alimentos.
El presente estudio se centra en evaluar las prácticas de higiene y manipulación de los operarios del matadero de porcino Industrias Cárnicas La Cope y valorar la relación entre dichas prácticas y los niveles de contaminación final de las canales, para lo cual se lleva a cabo un control documental donde se registran los expurgos debidos a malas prácticas durante el faenado y, además, se analizan muestras de canales, utensilios, uniformes y manos de los operarios para comprobar los niveles de contaminación por enterobacterias y aerobios mesófilos.
Los principales resultados del estudio determinan que los niveles máximos de contaminación final de las canales están relacionados con el mayor número de expurgos, la incorporación de nuevos trabajadores con falta de práctica a los puestos de evisceración y con los valores más elevados de contaminación de manos.To ensure that pork meat is safe for consumption, companies must comply with the legislation, implementing a self-control system based on the HACCP and carrying out proper training of workers in terms of good hygiene practices and food handling.
The present study focuses on evaluating the hygiene and handling practices of the operators of the Industrias Cárnicas La Cope pig slaughterhouse and assessing the relationship between these practices and the final contamination levels of the carcasses. For that, a documentary control is
carried out. where expurgations due to bad practices during slaughter are recorded and, in addition,
samples of carcasses, utensils, uniforms and workers hands are analyzed to check the levels
of contamination by aerobic mesophiles and Enterobacteriaceae.
The main results of the study determine that the maximum levels of final contamination of the
carcasses are related with the highest number of expurgations, the incorporation of new workers
with lack of practice at evisceration points and the highest values of hand contamination.Ciencias Experimentale
Song and prayers from the judeo-provençal Siddur (ms. Leeds, BRotherton Library, Roth 32): some linguistic and stylistic considerations
No full textIl ms. Roth 32 della Brotherton Library di Leeds, redatto in Provenza
alla fine del 1400, è l’unico testimone noto di unsiddur (libro ebraico di preghiere)
in giudeo-provenzale. Esso costituisce un’importante fonte di informazioni sia
sul rito degli ebrei di Provenza nel XV secolo, sia sulla lingua giudeo-provenzale.
In questo articolo presento l’edizione di alcuni canti e preghiere conservati nel
ms. Roth 32, finora inediti e, sulla base del materiale linguistico offerto, formulo
alcune considerazioni di carattere linguistico e stilistico su questa specifica varietà di provenzale. In particolare, analizzo il metodo di traduzione dall’ebraico
al giudeo-provenzale, chiarendo il significato di termini rari o non attestati nel
provenzale “cristiano” coevo: talvolta si tratterà di neologismi, talvolta di prestiti
(persino dal giudeo-arabo), talvolta di termini attestati finora solo nel provenzale
moderno; inoltre, considero il rapporto tra il giudeo-provenzale “scolastico” riflesso nel siddur e qualche spia della lingua parlata dagli ebrei dell’epoca, per mettere
in evidenza la complessità diafasica di questo idioma. Infine, opero un confronto
tra le traduzioni giudeo-provenzale e giudeo-italiana dello Šema‘Israel per trarre
qualche considerazione sull’annosa questione che riguarda la comune tradizione
delle traduzioni giudeo-romanze e la loro eventuale origine giudeo-latina.Ms. Brotherton Library (Leeds) Roth 32, copied in Avignon during
the XV century, is the only witness of a Judeo-Provençal siddur, the daily and
festival Jewish prayer-book. It represents an important source of information
not only for the liturgy adopted by XV-century Provençal Jews, but also for
Judeo-Provençal language.
In this essay, I provide the edition of some unpublished songs and prayers
from ms. Roth 32 and I carry out some hypothesis concerning this specific vari-
ety of Judeo-Provençal. In particular, I examine the method of translation from
Hebrew to Judeo-Provençal, explaining the meaning of some rare or otherwise
unattested words: they are neologisms, loanwords (even from Judeo-Arabic)
and terms otherwise attested only in Modern Provençal. I also consider the
relationship between Judeo-Provençal, as it is attested in the siddur – i.e. the
“scholastic” Judeo-Provençal – and some hints of the Provençal which was
spoken by XV century Provençal Jews, in order to evidence the diaphasic complexity of this language. Finally, I compare the Judeo-Provençal translation of
the Šema‘ Israel to the Judeo-Italian one, in order to introduce new linguistic
data in the debate concerning the possible (Judeo-Latin?) common tradition
underlying the Judeo-Romance translations of the Bible and the Siddur.Humanidade
Estudio experimental comparativo "in vitro" del comportamiento expansivo de diferentes agentes de blanqueamiento interno
Get PDFLa historia de la odontología estética comienza desde los principios del ser humano. Por nuestra naturaleza, siempre hemos buscado la belleza de una forma u otra, y en un mundo económico, social y sexualmente competitivo tener un aspecto agradable ya no se considera un signo de vanidad. Se ha convertido en una necesidad.
La sonrisa parece influir en aspectos psicológicos que pueden incluir incluso perspectivas de avance profesional (1). Estudios realizados ya en los años 80 indicaron que las investigaciones apuntaban a que las personas atractivas solían conseguir trabajos más prestigiosos y mejor pagados, como si el buen aspecto de la cara se asemejase a una carta de recomendación (2).
La apariencia física se puede ver definida como el agrupamiento de unas características que juegan un rol significativo en la construcción de una identidad y en el desarrollo de las relaciones sociales que establezca dicho individuo, de manera que estos influyen directamente en la percepción de terceros y, por lo tanto, en su vida como ser social. Es uno de los factores más importantes de la comunicación no verbal e incluso del éxito mismo dentro de la sociedad.
Por otro lado, la primera impresión, es el contacto inicial de los procesos comunicativos y el determinante para establecer un juicio “a priori” sobre la imagen y el tipo de relación que dos individuos establecerán. Es inevitable, ya que su carga evolutiva es muy poderosa en el ser humano. Desde hace años se ha conceptualizado que el primer impacto que produce una persona se debe a su apariencia, y que perdura por mucho tiempo.
La cara es la parte más expuesta del cuerpo y puesto que la boca es un rasgo predominante, la apariencia dental se convierte en un componente integral de la belleza facial, siendo los dientes una fuente de atención a la hora de evaluar el atractivo de una persona, suponiendo un recurso social importante y desempeñando un papel clave en las interacciones sociales humanas.
El objetivo general del presente estudio fue valorar si los materiales de blanqueamiento interno producen expansión cuando interaccionan con los tejidos dentales duros de la corona anatómica.OdontologíaCiencias de la Salu

es un canto a la filosofía clásica griega
y al pensamiento desarrollado hasta el
presente. A partir de conceptos clásicos
como ética, ethos, amistad, libertad o
ciudad, entre otros, que él ha estudiado a
lo largo de su longeva y prolífica vida, trata
de mirar a la realidad de nuestro tiempo
con otra mirada posible. Lledó se vuelve
a sumergir en los textos de la Historia y
de la Filosofía de la Magna Grecia y de la
Alemania desde Husserl a Heidegger para
tratar de ofrecernos respuestas sólidas a
preguntas ineludibles que nos estamos
haciendo en nuestro tiempo:
¿Será factible acabar con los enfrentamientos
o las guerras?
¿Cómo podemos atajar y superar los
nacionalismos excluyentes presentes en
la actualidad?
¿Qué tenemos que hacer y cómo hacerlo
para que la noble actividad política deje
de ser un campo abonado para los intereses
de los grupos compartimentos estancos?
¿Qué hemos de hacer para que la Política
se convierta en un pensamiento, en
una planificación y una acción que tenga
presente y afronte las circunstancias de
la mayoría de la ciudadanía y de las instituciones

Influence of Sports Participation on the Behaviors of Customersof Sports Services: Linear and Qualitative Comparative Analysis Models
Get PDFports services have become an important enclave for our society. Due to its completesports offer, customers can perform physical activity that helps them to improve their health and well-being. In fitness centers, managers try to know what their customers are looking for in order to create more personalized experiences, as well as to improve their health. This study seeks to understand the influence that sports frequency has on the future behavior of users of a sports center, using two complementary methodologies. A sample of 383 users of a private sports center was used. The two complementary methodologies used were linear models and comparative qualitative analysis, based on the combination of sets. The results show how sports frequency influences the process of creating users’ future behaviors. Considering that none of the variables are necessary, it is observed that perceived value has a significant influence on users’ future behaviors. The use of two complementary methodologies provides a more complete understanding, which helps sports managers to plan and manage effectively to ensure user satisfaction and loyalty. In addition, facilities can incentivize customers through loyalty programs and promotions to maintain their engagement,as well as healthy styles to encourage service recommendations.Ciencias de la Actividad Física y del Deport
Efficacy and tolerability of EH301 for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human pilot study
Get PDFAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease, characterized by progressive loss of spinal and cortical motor neurons, leading to muscular atrophy, respiratory failure, and ultimately death. There is no known cure, and the clinical benefit of the two drugs approved to treat ALS remains unclear. Novel disease-modifying therapeutics that are able to modulate the disease course are desperately needed. Our objective was to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of Elysium Health's candidate drug EH301 in people with ALS (PALS).This was a single-center, prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study. Thirty-two PALS were recruited thanks to the collaboration of the Spanish Foundation for ALS Research (FUNDELA). Study participants were randomized to receive either EH301 or placebo and underwent evaluation for 4 months. Differences between EH301 and placebo-treated participants were evaluated based on standard clinical endpoints, including the revised ALS functional rating scale (ALSFRS-R), forced vital capacity (FVC), and the Medical Research Council (MRC) grading scale.Compared to placebo, participants treated with EH301 demonstrated significant improvements in the ALSFRS-R score, pulmonary function, muscular strength, and in skeletal muscle/fat weight ratio. EH301 was shown to significantly slow the progression of ALS relative to placebo, and even showed improvements in several key outcome measures compared with baseline.This study provides evidence in support of the disease-modifying effects of EH301 for the treatment of ALS.Study Funded by the Catholic University San Vicente Mártir [grant 2017-216-001] and the University of Valencia [grant OTR2017-18255INVES] (Valencia, Spain).

Predictive potential of SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentration in wastewater to assess the dynamics of COVID-19 clinical outcomes and infections
Get PDFCoronavirus disease 2019 -caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-, has trig-gered a worldwide pandemic resulting in 665 million infections and over 6.5 million deaths as of December 15, 2022. The development of different epidemiological tools have helped predict new outbreaks and assess the behavior of clinical variables in different health contexts. In this study, we aimed to monitor concentrations of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater as a tool to predict the progression of clinical variables during Waves 3, 5, and 6 of the pandemic in the Spanish city of Xativa from September 2020 to March 2022. We estimated SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations in 195 wastewater samples using the RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel vali-dated by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. We also compared the trends of several clinical variables (14-day cumulative incidence, positive cases, hospital cases and stays, critical cases and stays, primary care visits, and deaths) for each study wave against wastewater SARS-CoV-2 RNA concentrations using Pearson's product-moment correlations, a two-sided Mann-Whitney U test, and a cross-correlation analysis. We found strong correlations between SARS-CoV-2 concentrations with 14-day cumulative incidence and positive
cases over time. Wastewater RNA concentrations showed strong correlations with these variables one and two
weeks in advance. There were significant correlations with hospitalizations and critical care during Wave 3 and
Wave 6; cross-correlations were stronger for hospitalization stays one week before during Wave 6. No association between vaccination percentages and wastewater viral concentrations was observed.
Our findings support wastewater SARS-CoV-2 concentrations as a potential surveillance tool to anticipate infection and
epidemiological data such as 14-day cumulative incidence, hospitalizations, and critical care stays. Public health authorities could use this epidemiological tool on a similar population as an aid for health care decision-making during
an epidemic outbreakThis research was funded by the Valencian International University and Generalitat Valenciana (GVA) through the Grants to emerging research groups 2023 (CE2023) from the Regional Ministry of Innovation, Universities, Science and Digital Society (CIGE/2022/58).Medicin
Sociodemographic Determinants for the Health-Related Quality of Life of Patients with Vascular Amputations as Determined with the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire
Get PDFBackground: To identify the sociodemographic variables independently related to the different dimensions of the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ). Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted, with a sample of 61 Spanish vascular amputees (Valencia, Spain). Included in this study are the results of the PEQ and explanatory-sociodemographic variables, as well as a descriptive and analytic analysis. Results: Gender differences were observed in "appearance" and "perception of appearance" (significantly higher levels for men). Older patients tended to have worse scores in "utility", "frustration", "social burden" and "deambulation". More favorable scores were obtained for those residing in rural areas in "social burden" and "deambulation". Educational level had a positive correlation with scores. Conclusion: Gender, age, place of residence, and educational level could be considered determinants of the quality of health related to prosthesis adaptation in vascular amputees. Clinical relevance: Knowing the influential variables in the process of prosthetization will allow better adaptation and an improvement in the quality of life.Medicin
Influence of Teaching Digital Competence and Professional Competencies on the Professional Performance of the Soccer Coach
Get PDFThe main objective of this article is to design a structural equation model to evaluate the predictor variables of professional performance in soccer coaches (PPSC), digital teaching competence (DTC) and professional competences of soccer coaches (PCSC). A sample of 612 coaches was taken from the different training levels of the Valencian Community (FFCV) in Spain, managed by UEFA.. The results of the causal relationship model showed a good overall fit of the model. A statistically significant positive relationship was found to exist with the professional performance of soccer coaches in both the use of digital competencies (DTC) and the professional competence of soccer coaches (PCSC). A statistically significant positive relationship was also observed between the use of digital competencies and the professional competence of soccer coaches. From the results obtained, it can be affirmed that the change generated by UEFA in the training of coaches in emerging technologies increases their professional performance.Educació
El último Pío Baroja. De nuevo el periodismo en la ficción
Get PDFEste artículo presenta, tomando como base la publicación de la novela póstuma Los caprichos de la suerte, la relación e implicaciones que tuvo el novelista español Pío Baroja con el mundo de la prensa periódica, principalmente el de finales del s. XIX y principios del s. XX, aunque se alude también a relaciones posteriores en torno a los años de la Guerra Civil española (1936-1939). El deseo de regenerar el país, de luchar para sacar a la población española de la inercia en que se halla tras el conocido “desastre del 98” lleva a muchos intelectuales a acudir a las redacciones de los periódicos para poder comunicarse con la gente de la calle publicando sus manifiestos de protesta y propuestas de regeneración. En el caso de Baroja, esta inquietud le lleva hasta el hecho de fundar una revista, Juventud, de efímera existencia. Asimismo Pío Baroja ofrece una visión crítica del mundo del periodismo español en algunas de sus novelas tomando como punto de partida su propia experiencia.Humanidade
