Editorial: Endogenous and exogenous factors influencing the function and metabolism of lipoproteins
No full textAlterations in the levels and composition of lipoproteins are associated with several diseases (Fernandes Das Neves et al., 2021). The classical view that these complex particles are mere carriers of lipids and are solely implicated in atherosclerosis is now considered amply outdated. For instance, the levels of routinely assessed plasma total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides are now regarded as strong risk factors for a plethora of diseases including, but not limited to, neurodegenerative diseases and auto-immune disorders (Marsillach et al., 2020)

Su objetivo es formar a los estudiantes en responsabilidad social, comunicación científica y ética profesional, además de contribuir a mejorar la salud nutricional de diversas poblaciones. Desde el punto de vista del aprendizaje, el proyecto busca aumentar la motivación de los estudiantes, mejorar su creatividad, capacidad de trabajo en grupo, gestión de información y habilidades de transmisión escrita y oral, así como su educación nutricional, adaptando la información seleccionada al nivel de la población de una manera didáctica y gamificada. Esta segunda edición se centró en aplicar el proyecto a las prácticas académicas curriculares durante el último año de la carrera y como actividades obligatorias en asignaturas específicas. Además, durante esta segunda edición, los materiales educativos diseñados en la primera edición se difundieron a través de redes sociales para compartir el contenido y los materiales de nutrición con la sociedad.Universidad Complutense de MadridDepto. de Nutrición y Ciencia de los AlimentosFac. de FarmaciaTRUEsubmittedAPC financiada por la UC
Milk fat globule membrane-enriched milk improves episodic memory: A randomized, parallel, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in older adults
Get PDFCognitive decline is one of the most important consequences of aging and pharmacological therapies had been largely unsuccessful. Other strategies include the use of functional foods to reduce the burden of cognitive decline. The MFGM is an important source of polar lipids and glycoproteins that decline in the aging brain. We have developed a milk drink fortified with MFGM (MFGM-M) as a dietary supplement and studied it in a randomized clinical pilot study. Forty-four > 65-year-old healthy or mildly cognitively impaired subjects received MFGM-M or control milk (CM) for 14 weeks, during which they underwent a battery of cognitive tests. Lipidomic analyzes were also performed. The female participants showed improvement in episodic memory, the ability to recall events in our lives. It is conceivable that any intervention should be started before clinical symptoms manifest, as a preventive measure against cognitive decline. Future long-term studies may shed further light on this point

Use of nutritional education to promote well-being for all people of all ages: “nutrieducar@prendiendo” service-learning project
No full textINTRODUCTION: Service-Learning (S-L) is an educational approach that combines learning objectives with community service to provide a holistic educational experience and benefit the community. This project aims to train students in social responsibility, scientific communication, and professional ethics and contribute to improving population health in terms of nutrition for different populations, with a special emphasis on those at risk. From the learning point of view, it focuses on increasing students' motivation, improving their creativity, group work ability, information management and written and oral transmission, and nutritional education, adapting the selected information to the level of the population in a didactic and gamified way.
METHODOLOGY
This S-L project started in September 2022 and is expected to end in September 2023. It was developed in the context of different subjects and degrees related to Human Nutrition and as curricular external academic internships. Students select a topic, develop educational materials or activities, and select a target population that could particularly benefit from these contents. The target population includes people of all ages, emphasising diversity, low socio-economic status, and people in any situation with high-risk nutrition, following the Sustainable Development Goals established in the 2030 Agenda. Students have two options to participate: Option 1: developing educational materials (videos, games, infographics, reels, podcasts, etc.); Option 2: presenting these materials in schools and other institutions through lectures, workshops, games, etc.); students were encouraged to choose option 2. The project evaluation includes satisfaction surveys (nutrition educational material/activity by beneficiaries); learning achievements, the project's organisation, and their self-assessment (by students); the assessment of the nutrition education material developed (by professors), through specially designed questionnaires where the higher the score, the better results.
RESULTS
The results presented in this work correspond to the period from September 2022 to February 2023. Until now, a total of 388 students participated in the project from four different degrees: Food Science and Technology, Human Nutrition and Dietetics, Pharmacy and Double Degree in Nutrition and Pharmacy. Ninety-seven percent chose option 1, and 3% chose option 2. The main topics chosen by the students were: nutritional approach to migraine, constipation, diarrhoea, Alzheimer, gout, diabetes and hypercholesterolemia. Students have generated a total of 129 infographics; 5 videos; 2 murals and visual materials; 1 game; 7 workshops, and 2 lectures. A total of 146 beneficiaries answered the satisfaction surveys from option 1 participation and gave the project an average score of 4.65±0.60 out of 5 points. Regarding learning achievements, the project's organization and their self-assessment, 299 students (76%) answered the survey, and the average score obtained was 4.09±0.92 and 4.17±0.12 out of 5 points and 9.37±1.23 out of 10 points, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: According to the preliminary results obtained in the first part of the project, this S-L enhanced students' knowledge in the subjects involved and improved students' scientific communication skills and sense of social responsibility. Meanwhile, they contribute to the population's nutrition knowledge and establish healthier lifestyle habits.Universidad Complutense de MadridDepto. de Nutrición y Ciencia de los AlimentosFac. de FarmaciaTRUEpu
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
