Aprendizaje experiencial en criminología integrando áreas de conocimiento e implicando al entorno profesional
No full textLa educación superior supone el camino que la sociedad elige tomar en su proceso de crecimiento, teniendo una vital importancia, no solo como medio trasnmisor de ideas y conocimientos, sino como mecanismo para promocionar habilidades y competencias que impulsarán a una nueva sociedad a través de sus estudiantes. La importancia de la educación superior alcanza una nueva dimensión en la Universidad Europea, donde se desarrolla un modelo académico que permite el aprendizaje de forma experiencial para el alumnado. Dentro de este modelo, se trabaja el entorno profesional con expertos que acuden al aula a aportar su experiencia y a mostrar al alumnado la realidad de su profesión, junto con el currículum integrado, que les permite interrelacionar dos áreas de conocimiento. En este marco, se desarrolla la actividad experiencial descrita en este trabajo, con el objetivo de acercar al aula el ámbito profesional de la Criminología e interrelacionar distintos contenidos. Para ello, se proyectó una película asistida por un experto en reinserción social que, posteriormente, desarrolló un coloquio con el alumnado. Los resultados de la valoración de la actividad concluyeron que la participación del profesional en el aula mejora la calidad de la educación superior.Sin financiaciónSPI 2022UE
ArquiVet. Experiencia transdisciplinar de un aprendizaje basado en proyectos en la granja veterinaria de la UEM
No full textNuestra actividad docente, basada en la metodología Project Based Learning, plantea una experiencia transdisciplinar entre dos titulaciones de disciplinas distintas: Arquitectura (Taller de Dibujo II) y Veterinaria (Bienestar animal), cuyos alumnos se han organizado en grupos mixtos, desempeñando dos roles: arquitectos, como expertos en diseño; y veterinarios, como asesores expertos en etología animal. Compartiendo ambos expertises, el objetivo de cada grupo es diseñar y construir un elemento de enriquecimiento ambiental para perros de las Granjas Docentes de la UE. Para lograrlo, cada grupo realiza una serie de reuniones documentadas para el desarrollo, seguimiento y validación del proyecto. Aun considerando la relevancia del resultado final, evaluándose a los estudiantes con base a la adquisición de una serie de aprendizajes, pretendemos poner más en valor el proceso del mismo, recreando una relación similar a la que puede producirse en su actividad laboral futura. Las habilidades adquiridas en este reto, que saca al estudiante de su zona de confort, han sido muy prometedoras, en aspectos como la cooperación y negociación, el trabajo por aproximación, la toma de decisiones, la planificación autónoma, y la comunicación (entre alumnos de perfiles distintos; y de cara a los profesores en la presentación oral y proyectada del portfolio).Sin financiaciónSPI 2022UE
The UN Security Council Resolutions on the 2030 Agenda
No full textLa Asamblea General ha sido el órgano de la ONU impulsor de los sucesivos planes de desarrollo a lo largo de sus décadas de existencia, acompañada en todo momento por la labor de seguimiento político del Consejo Económico y Social. En este estudio, se repasa esa trayectoria y se analiza el exiguo papel del Consejo de Seguridad respecto a la Agenda 2030, con dos únicas resoluciones hasta la fecha, referidas al desarrollo sostenible, la S/RES/2282 (2016), relativa al examen de la estructura de consolidación de la paz, y la S/RES/2553 (2020), relativa al mantenimiento de la paz y la seguridad internacionales. Palabras clave: Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU, Agenda 2030, ODS, Resoluciones.The General Assembly has been the UN body that has promoted successive development plans throughout its decades of existence, always accompanied by the political monitoring work of the Economic and Social Council. In this study, that trajectory is reviewed and the meager role of the Security Council regarding the 2030 Agenda is analyzed, with only two resolutions referring to sustainable development up to the date, S/RES/2282 (2016), regarding the examination of the structure of peacebuilding, and S/RES/2553 (2020), on the maintenance of international peace and security.Sin financiaciónSPI 2022UE
United Nations Sanctions Regimes and Selective Security
No full textThis book investigates the selective nature of UN sanctions regimes with a specific focus on the post-Cold War era. Legally binding on all members UN sanctions are the most effective and legitimate non-violent multilateral tools to respond to international security threats, symbolically more powerful than unilateral or multilateral sanctions because they enjoy global support. However, since 1990, dozens of threats to international peace were met with sanctions, but many others were not. How can we explain this incoherent approach? With a focus on the selectiveness, rather than effectiveness of UN sanctions the author reflects on the shifting geopolitical tensions between Security Council members and uses a variety of widely used academic datasets to provide a unique overview of what determines sanctions and sanctionable events. The primary audience will be scholars and students of international relations, international organizations, security studies, and political economy.Sin financiaciónSPI 2022UE

Pregnancy, Reproductive Factors, and Female Heart Failure Risk and Outcomes
No full textPurpose of review: The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of recent evidence on female-specific risk factors related to reproductive status or pregnancy. Recent findings: Pregnancy-related factors, including hypertensive disorders and gestational diabetes, increase the risk of heart failure in women, while breastfeeding and hormone therapy may offer protection. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, gestational diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, placental abruption, younger maternal age at first live birth, younger maternal age at last live birth, number of stillbirths, number of pregnancies, onset of menstruation before 12 years of age, shorter reproductive age, ovariectomy, and prolonged absence of ovarian hormones may increase the risk of heart failure in women. Conversely, breastfeeding status and hormone therapy (for menopause or contraception) may serve as protective factors, while fertility treatments have no discernible effect on the risk of heart failure.Instituto de Salud Carlos III (CM20/00104)Instituto de Salud Carlos III (JR22/00004)3.5 Q* JCR 20220.976 Q1 SJR 2023No data IDR 2022UE
Inequality on the frontline: A multi-country study on gender differences in mental health among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic
No full textHealthcare workers (HCWs) were at increased risk for mental health problems during the COVID-19 pandemic, with prior data suggesting women may be particularly vulnerable. Our global mental health study aimed to examine factors associated with gender differences in psychological distress and depressive symptoms among HCWs during COVID-19. Across 22 countries in South America, Europe, Asia and Africa, 32,410 HCWs participated in the COVID-19 HEalth caRe wOrkErS (HEROES) study between March 2020 and February 2021. They completed the General Health Questionnaire-12, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and questions about pandemic-relevant exposures. Consistently across countries, women reported elevated mental health problems compared to men. Women also reported increased COVID-19-relevant stressors, including insufficient personal protective equipment and less support from colleagues, while men reported increased contact with COVID-19 patients. At the country level, HCWs in countries with higher gender inequality reported less mental health problems. Higher COVID-19 mortality rates were associated with increased psychological distress merely among women. Our findings suggest that among HCWs, women may have been disproportionately exposed to COVID-19-relevant stressors at the individual and country level. This highlights the importance of considering gender in emergency response efforts to safeguard women’s well-being and ensure healthcare system preparedness during future public health crises.PRIMUS Research Programme (PRIMUS/22/MED/012)Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic (NU22J-09-00064)Fundacion Martin EscuderoEuropean Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme Societal Challenges (Grant Agreement No. 101016127)Ministerio de Ciencia Tecnología e Innovación (Minciencias; CT 860-2020)The UK Research and Innovation (UKRI; ES/V013157/1)Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (Bando FISR 2020IP_05308)Fondazione di Sardegna (Bando 2020)3.9 Q2 JCR 2022No data SJR 2022No data IDR 2022UE
Diabetes mellitus is associated to high-risk late gadolinium enhancement and worse outcomes in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy
No full textDiabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with heart failure. Our aim was to analyze the clinical and imaging features of patients with DM and their association with outcomes in comparison to nondiabetic patients in a cohort of patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).MethodsThis is a prospective cohort study of patients with DCM evaluated in a tertiary care center from 2018 to 2021. Transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance findings were assessed. A high-risk late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) pattern was defined as epicardial, transmural, or septal plus free-wall. The primary outcome was a composite of heart failure hospitalizations and all-cause mortality. Multivariable analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of DM on outcomes.ResultsWe studied 192 patients, of which 51 (26.6%) had DM. The median left ventricular ejection fraction was 30%, and 106 (55.2%) had LGE. No significant differences were found in systolic function parameters between patients with and without DM. E/e values were higher (15 vs. 11.9, p = 0.025), and both LGE (68.6% vs. 50.4%; p = 0.025) and a high-risk LGE pattern (31.4% vs. 18.5%; p = 0.047) were more frequently found in patients with DM. The primary outcome occurred more frequently in diabetic patients (41.2% vs. 23.6%, p = 0.017). DM was an independent predictor of outcomes (OR 2.01; p = 0.049) and of LGE presence (OR 2.15; p = 0.048) in the multivariable analysis. Patients with both DM and LGE had the highest risk of events (HR 3.1; p = 0.003).ConclusionDM is related to a higher presence of LGE in DCM patients and is an independent predictor of outcomes. Patients with DM and LGE had a threefold risk of events. A multimodality imaging approach allows better risk stratification of these patients and may influence therapeutic options.Sin financiación9.3 Q1 JCR 20222.621 Q1 SJR 2023No data IDR 2022UE
Cannibalism in Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra)
No full textThe Eurasian otter, Lutra lutra, faced adversity in Europe in the 1950s and 1960s due to hunting, declining fish populations and the American mink invasion. Slow recovery since the 1970s led to a ‘Near Threatened’ in the IUCN Red List status, but recent pollution, fishing pressure and habitat loss caused slight population declines. Otters, known for aquatic habits, are mainly piscivorous and exhibit solitaire or social behaviours. Infanticide with parent-offspring cannibalism has been previously reported in otter species, but although cannibalism has been suggested, it has not been documented before. This study presents the first documented case of cannibalism among free-living Eurasian otters observed in northern Norway. Some authors described cannibalism as an opportunistic resource-efficient behaviour in several mammal species, offering benefits like weight gain and reduced competition, challenging the view of adverse health effects. Factors leading to otter cannibalism include ecological changes, resource competition with other species and global warming and overfishing practices contributing to increased otter competition. Further studies will be vital to answering intriguing questions about the implications of cannibalism for otter conservation.Sin financiación2.2 Q3 JCR 20220.619 Q2 SJR 2023No data IDR 2022UE
