Abstract:

This paper analizes three monthly total rainfalls and six monthly mean temperatures of the Santiago de Compostela (University), Lugo and La Coruña meteorological stations. The data were reconstructed using gour Quercus and Castanea sativa chornologies carried out in Lugo, Pontevedra and La Coruña provinces. Variable reconstructions and information about mean deviations are presented. Similar results are obtained when the reconstructions were compared each other and with climatic information. During the past two centuries, temperature and rainall variables are characterized by a gradual heating, with some cold periods, and progressive irregular rainfall. Both, temperature and rainfall, appear to be rising at the reconstructed stations for the two last decades.

Abstract:

This research focuses on the evaluation of the economic value that can be achieved by the use of decision threshold values for the Canadian Fire Weather Index for the projection of different specific wildfire events, as a basis for wildfire prevention activities. The study was done in two testing areas in Spain, corresponding to La Coruña and Alicante provinces. The applied methodology makes use of a simple binary decision model, which has been widely applied for the verification of quantitative meteorological forecasts. Meteorological and wildfire data from a 10-year period (1997–2006) were used. The results show that use of the Fire Weather Index results in potential economic savings, especially in the case of La Coruña. Therefore, the use of the Canadian Fire Weather Index as a basis to develop an early warning system for wildfire is recommended in the two provinces under study.

Abstract:

Surveys have been used to study the current perception towards wolves by different stakeholders such as ranchers, landowners, hunters, experts in the field, and employees of the environmental administration in the provinces of Pontevedra and A Coruña, in the northwest of Spain. The main objective of this study is the evaluation and further discussion of the compensation offered to affected people for damages caused by wolf attacks and whether such compensations represent an improvement in the degree of tolerance towards these animals. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were found among the different sectors interviewed, with the hunters being the least tolerant sector, followed by ranchers. The number of attacks in the area was proven to influence their perspective toward wolves and the need for preventive measures. There was unanimity among hunters, ranchers, and locals, who do not consider the tools provided by the Galician administration sufficient to palliate the damages produced by wolves. However, 53.8% of ranchers, the group whose livelihood will most likely be affected by wolf attacks, and 60% of the wolf experts believe that compensation does not help to reduce tolerance towards wolves. Losing an animal makes people more likely to agree to the use of lethal and non-lethal methods.

Abstract:

En 1939 The Hispanic Society of America publicou o libro de Ruth Matilda Anderson Gallegan Provinces of Spain. Pontevedra and La Coruña, no que figuran o maior número de traducións ao inglés de textos de Rosalía de Castro con anterioridade a 1964. Ningún dos catálogos nin rexistros nos que se listan as aparicións de textos rosalianos noutras linguas recollen de maneira específica estas traducións de Anderson. Esta sería, por tanto, a primeira vez, que nós teñamos coñecemento, na que se detallan as primeiras traducións ao inglés destes seis escritos rosalianos. Ao se trataren de elementos paratextuais, segundo a definición de Genette (1987), debémolos considerar paratraducións (Garrido 2003-2004), cuxos niveis de análise —empírico, sociolóxico e discursivo— abordamos desde unha perspectiva feminista presente tantona autora (Rosalía de Castro), no sistema de orixe, coma na tradutora (Ruth Matilda Anderson), no sistema meta.

Abstract:

The application of geostatistics to data obtained from geochemical prospecting process can provide useful information for evaluating mineralization potential. The objective of this study was to evaluate the spatial distribution of Au, As and Sb contents over a large area of the Coruña province, Spain. A geochemical survey was carried out from which a data set with 323 samples was collected. Macroelements and trace elements were determined by routine analytical techniques. The spatial variability was assessed using semivariogram and cross-semivariogram as well as indicator semivariogram analysis. Frequency distributions of the studied elements departed from normal, as indicated by skewness and kurtosis coefficients. Coefficients of variation ranked as follows: Sb < As < Au. Significant correlation coefficients between Au, Sb and As were found, even though the correlation values were low. Spherical models with nugget effects ranging from 50% (As) to 57.8% (Au) were fitted to the experimental semivariograms. Cross semivariograms of Au versus Sb and As showed smaller nugget variance than individual semivariograms. Indicator semivariograms were calculated taken mean, median, and different percentiles as threshold values. Ordinary kriging, cokriging, and indicator kriging were performed to generate geochemical maps. The method has succeeded in effectively extracting useful information, and improving the analysis of the metallogenic and ore-controlling factors, thereby playing an important role in qualitative and quantitative predictions.

Abstract:

The purpose of the present study was to determine the perception of schoolchildren whether their academic performance improved or worsened during the pandemic, analyzing their social anxiety, gender, use of masks in the classroom, and school year. The total sample was 107 primary school students (25 in the fourth, 40 in the fifth and 42 in the sixth grade), with a mean age of 10.51 years old (SD = 1). The gender were 58 girls and 49 boys, from a school in the province of La Coruña (Spain). The study was based on a quantitative methodology, and the design was cross-sectional, descriptive, observational and correlational. The social anxiety questionnaire (CASO-N24) was used to assess social anxiety, and an ad hoc self-report register was elaborated to evaluate sociodemographic variables. The results indicated that 44.8% of the schoolchildren considered that the pandemic had neither improved nor worsened their academic performance. Although 38.3% considered that high and very high social anxiety increased progressively as the school year progressed, both in boys and girls. Besides, the schoolchildren who presented very low and low social anxiety improved their grades in Physical Education, while those who presented high social anxiety worsened them. In conclusion, having a low social anxiety, lower grades before the pandemic and higher grades after, makes children perceive an improvement in their academic performance during the pandemic.

Abstract:

El presente estudio persigue como principales objetivos concretar los deportes más practicados en una muestra de escolares, así como relacionar el nivel de práctica físico-deportiva con el nivel de esfuerzo, el tipo de ocio y la concepción sobre la Educación Física (EF). Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en una muestra de 818 escolares de tercer ciclo de educación primaria de la provincia de A Coruña (España). La representación por sexo fue del 52% para los niños y un 48% para las niñas, con edades comprendidas entre los 10 y 13 años de edad (M = 11,17; DT = 0,44). Como instrumento se emplea un cuestionario Ad Hoc para el registro de variables sociodemográficas y de tipo deportivo. Los resultados revelan que uno de cada diez escolares no practica ningún deporte, mientras que los deportes colectivos con contacto de forma federada son los más practicados. El fútbol y los deportes acuáticos fueron los deportes más populares, mientras que el balonmano y el atletismo eran los menos practicados. El tiempo invertido en la práctica físico-deportiva se relacionó de forma positiva con el ocio deportivo y la aptitud percibida para la EF, y de forma negativa con el ocio digital. El nivel de esfuerzo implicado en el deporte correlacionó negativamente con el ocio deportivo, la concepción sobre la EF y la aptitud percibida para la EF. Finalmente, el ocio deportivo reveló una relación negativa con el ocio digital y el ocio académico, así como una relación positiva con la concepción sobre la EF y la aptitud percibida para la AF.Abstract. This research aims to define the most popular sports in a sample of schoolchildren, and to relate sports practice levels with the level of effort implicated, the kind of leisure-time activities, and the notion about Physical Education (PE). A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 818 students of third cycle of Primary Education from the province of A Coruña (Spain). Gender representation was 52% for boys and 48% for girls, with age range between 10 and 13 years old (M = 11,17; SD = 0,44). The instrument employed was an Ad-Hoc questionnaire for recording sociodemographic factors and sports-related variables. Results show that one out of ten schoolchildren does not practice any sport, whilst collective sports with contact, mainly played in a federated way, are the most practiced. Football and water sports were the most popular, whereas track and field and cycling were the least practiced. Furthermore, the time spent on sports practice was positively related with leisure-time sports and perceived aptitude towards PE, and negatively correlated with digital leisure time. The level of effort involved in sports was negatively correlated with sport leisure time, notion of PE, and perceived aptitude towards PE. Finally, sports leisure time was found to have a negative relation with academic and digital leisure times, as well as a positive relation with the notion of PE and perceived aptitude towards PE.

Abstract:

Una de las características más relevantes de la Sociedad de la Información y del Conocimiento es que el aprendizaje ya no solo tiene lugar en las instituciones formativas regladas, sino que también se halla en espacios no formales e informales. Las tecnologías digitales nos brindan la posibilidad de aprender en cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar, rompiendo las barreras espacio-temporales por lo que, actualmente, las experiencias de aprendizaje son ilimitadas. Así pues, el presente trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar cómo las diferentes oportunidades de aprendizaje y formación contribuyen al desarrollo profesional de los docentes. Esta investigación, de corte cualitativo, se ha desarrollado a través de la tradición de investigación de Estudio de Caso. Los participantes que conforman el caso son cuatro docentes de Educación Infantil de la provincia de A Coruña. La técnica de recogida de datos empleada ha sido la entrevista en profundidad. La información fue procesada mediante estrategias de análisis de contenido. Los resultados muestran que los docentes llevan a cabo múltiples actividades formativas para mantenerse actualizados, entre las que destacan los cursos que oferta la propia Administración educativa, a través de los Centros de Formación y Recursos, y las reuniones con otros profesionales. Las Ecologías de Aprendizaje se presentan como un marco útil desde el cual poder integrar y optimizar las diversas experiencias de aprendizaje, para entender de forma holística los diversos elementos que determinan el proceso de desarrollo profesional de los docentes del caso de estudio y el potencial de sus sinergias. One of the most relevant characteristics of the Information and Knowledge Society is the fact that learning no longer takes place merely in regulated training institutions, but also in non-formal and informal spaces. Digital technologies give us the possibility to learn at any time and in any place. This breaks space-time barriers generating learning experiences which nowadays are unlimited. Thus, the present work aims to analyse how the different learning and training opportunities contribute to the professional development of teachers. This qualitative piece of research adopted a case study design. The participants were four Early Childhood Education teachers from the province of A Coruña (Spain). Data were collected through in-depth interviews. The information was processed through content analysis strategies. The results show that teachers carry out multiple training activities to keep up-to-date including courses offered by the educational administration, through the Training and Resource Centres, and meetings with other professionals. Learning Ecologies are presented as a useful framework from which it is possible to integrate and optimize various learning experiences, understanding holistically the manyfold elements that determine the professional development of the four teachers in the case study and the potential of their synergies.

Abstract:

AbstractHigh-resolution electron microscopy and microanalytical studies were performed on clay and bulk soil samples developed on various igneous and metamorphic rocks from Galicia in the Coruna province in NW Spain. Two mineralogical microsystems can be distinguished showing different stages of weathering. For feldspars, exsolution and mass transformation lead to the delineation of parallel domains, and to formation of gel or paracrystalline minerals. For micas, alteration starts with a physical breakdown, i.e. exfoliation and crystal microdivision; individualization of monolayers is followed by gel formation. A solid phase diffusion phenomenon can explain the formation of 1 : 1 phyllosilicates inside 2 : 1 phyllosilicates or within the continuum of the original crystals. Evidence of such weathering stages in crystalline rocks can be related to the occurrence of specific climatic conditions between temperate and tropical areas.

Abstract:

En el año 1939 Ruth Matilda Anderson publicó su primera monografía, Gallegan Provinces of Spain: Pontevedra and La Coruña, bajo el sello de la institución cultural en la cual trabajaba como investigadora y fotógrafa, ; e Hispanic Society of America (HSA) en Nueva York. Este volumen recogía el mayor número de traducciones de composiciones de Rosalía de Castro en una sola publicación, del gallego al inglés, hasta la fecha, la mayor parte de ellas, además, volcadas por primera vez a otro idioma. Tan solo otra investigadora antes de ella, Annette B. Meakin, había traducido a esa misma lengua, en 1909, dos poemas rosalianos. A partir de un enfoque pragmático y desde una óptica feminista, analizo las causas que, de acuerdo con la documentación estudiada, pudieron haber motivado la marginación de Anderson y su libro durante más de ochenta años. Para ello, en primer lugar, establezco comparativas con obras análogas y coetáneas, también de autoría femenina, que sí acabaron siendo acogidas en el sistema gallego, incluida una antología sobre poesía española publicada por la misma HSA, en 1938, y en la que Ruth Matilda participaba con una traducción de un texto rosaliano. A continuación, analizo cómo la imagen que tanto las paratraducciones aparecidas en el libro de 1939, y la descripción directa que de la autora padronesa y de las mujeres gallegas realiza Anderson, antagónica a la difundida por el canon, pudieron haber motivado el ostracismo hacia esta obra y su autora.

Abstract:

Q fever is a zoonotic disease that has been associated with reproductive problems in animals. As there is little epidemiological data regarding the distribution and risk factors of this disorder in cattle, the objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of Coxiella burnetii among dairy herds in the northwest of Spain, and to determine the on-farm risk factors associated with the disease and its effects on reproductive performance. Bulk tank milk (BTM) samples were collected from 262 commercial dairy herds from A Coruña, Lugo, and Pontevedra provinces. Data about location, mean age, and herd management features were obtained. A commercial indirect ELISA kit was used to determine the presence of antibodies against C. burnetii in BTM samples. The relationship between seropositivity to C. burnetii and the risk factors was checked using a Pearson’s χ2 test and a classification tree analysis. In addition, a one-way ANOVA test and the Mann–Whitney U test were used to check the impact of seropositivity to C. burnetii on reproductive performance. A total of 60.1% of the farms tested positive for coxiellosis, the herd size, the external purchase of livestock, and the geographical area were identified as the main risk factors. Conception rate and first-service conception rate were significantly lower (p < 0.05) in positive farms (37.1 and 32.9%) compared to negative farms (39.8 and 36.1%). Similarly, positive farms had significant higher incidence of endometritis (13.7% vs. 11.2%, p < 0.05). Consequently, a high seropositivity and slightly negative effects of coxiellosis on reproductive performance were observed, which intensifies the need for further research, including the identification an active infection in positive herds and the characterization of the genotype.

Abstract:

The genus Corema D. Don (1826: 63) (Ericaceae Jussieu 1789: 159) comprises two species. Corema album (Linnaeus 1753: 1022) D. Don (1830: 460) (incl. C. febrifugum Boissier ex Willkomm & Lange 1877: 512) occurs on the west coast of the Iberian Peninsula (subsp. album) from Gibraltar to Finisterre (Willkomm & Lange 1877, Webb 1972, Cabezudo 1987, Villar 1993, Boratyński & Vera de la Puente 1994, López González 2001, Ruiz de la Torre 2006, Gil-López 2011), the Azores (subsp. azoricum Pinto da Silva 1966: 86), and the Mediterranean Basin (Spain, Alicante province, one population) (Solanas 1996, Solanas & Crespo 2001, Serra 2007, Aguilella et al. 2009). Corema conradii (Torrey 1837: 83) Torrey (1842: 1092) occurs on the eastern coast of North America from Newfoundland to New Jersey (Redfield 1884, McEwen 1894, Elisens 2009), and can be distinguished from C. album by its very small fruits which are devoid of fleshiness and covered with elaiosomes (oily appendages associated with ant dispersal) (Redfield 1884, McEwen 1894, Martine et al. 2005). Corema album subsp. azoricum exists on six of the nine islands of the Azores, and below 200 m (Franco 1984) this taxon has been recognized by some authors at the species level as C. azoricum [“azorica”] (Pinto da Silva 1966) Rivas Martínez, Lousã, Fernández Prieto, E.

Abstract:

Cardiopulmonary nematodes are highly pathogenic parasites affecting domestic and wild canids. As the result of conservation programs, the Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus) population has recently expanded, and its distribution range covers lands from where it had long disappeared. However, the exact epidemiological role of the wolf in the life cycle of zoonotic parasites causing diseases transmissible to pets and/or humans is largely unknown. This study sought to determine the diversity of cardiopulmonary nematode parasite species that affect wolves inhabiting northwestern areas of the Iberian Peninsula, and to estimate their prevalence and the relationship between these parasites and several epidemiological variables. For this purpose, we examined the cardiopulmonary systems of 57 wolves from Galicia (from the provinces A Coruña n = 15, Lugo n = 21, Ourense n =15 and Pontevedra n = 6) using techniques of dissection and cup sedimentation. Collected worms were then identified under a light microscope according to their morphological features. Three species of nematodes were detected: Angiostrongylus vasorum (the “French-heartworm”), Crenosoma vulpis and Eucoleus aerophilus, the latter being of zoonotic interest. The prevalence was 24.5% (14/57; 95% CI 13.3–35.6%) overall, 19.3% for A. vasorum (11/57; 95% CI 8.8–29.2%), 7% for C. vulpis (4/57; 95% CI 0.4–13.6%) and 3.5% for E. aerophilus (2/57; CI −1.1–9.1%). A significant relationship (p = 0.002) was found between age and the presence of C. vulpis, which was only found in juvenile animals. Furthermore, a higher prevalence of A. vasorum and/or C. vulpis was observed in wolves with a lower body condition score (40% and 20%, respectively), though the difference was not significant (p = 0.221 and p = 0.444, respectively). Our findings indicate a high “French-heartworm” and lungworm burden in the wolf population of northern Spain, and they identify a need for studies designed to elucidate the epidemiological role played by the Iberian wolf and to identify possible risks for veterinary and public health.

Abstract:

Las regatas de traineras son competiciones deportivas entre embarcaciones de 12 metros de eslora, que durante el siglo XIX estaban dedicadas a la pesca, y que competían dentro de un ambiente festivo en las principales localidades del norte de España. Durante la primera mitad del siglo XX fueron evolucionando hacia un evento deportivo, compitiendo para obtener la bandera de la localidad organizadora. Con el paso del tiempo y la mejora en el transporte los equipos viajaban a otras localidades más alejadas, creciendo el interés por estos enfrentamientos tradicionales. El número de competiciones fue elevándose, pero hasta la publicación de este artículo no se había determinado cuando se produjo este crecimiento. Para conocer cómo ha evolucionado el número de estas competiciones se han introducido todas las regatas de la historia en una base de datos, para constatar que hubo un aumento sustancial en los años 1970, cuando varias localidades afianzaron sus competiciones. También se ha observado un crecimiento en las regatas de traineras en los últimos 10 años debido a la presencia de competiciones en categoría femenina y veterana. Este aumento constante desde hace 50 años ha sido debido principalmente a la creación de clubes de remo en toda la franja Cantábrica, desde finales de los años 1960. Estas instituciones se han fundado casi exclusivamente en las provincias de La Coruña, Pontevedra, Cantabria, Vizcaya y Guipúzcoa, regiones donde se celebran la mayoría de las competiciones de esta especialidad. AbstractI Trainera races are sports competitions held in northern Spain between boats made up of thirteen rowers and a skipper. Since the middle of the 19th century, the trainera were mainly used for fishing, and only competed in the festivals of their home towns, or those bordering them, with the aim of obtaining the economic prize and the flag of the organizing town. During the first half of the 20th century these competitions evolved into a sporting event, and their rowers, who had traditionally been fishermen, were replaced by members of sporting societies. The better structuring of the races, the political support, the increase in prizes, the improvement in transport and the strong identity of the local coastal communities led to an increase in interest in these traditional competitions. The number of competitions was increasing, but until the publication of this article it had not been determined when this growth occurred. In order to know how the number of these competitions has evolved, all the races in history have been entered into a database, to confirm that there was a increase in the 1970s, when several localities consolidated their competitions. There has also been an increase in the number of rowing boat races in the last 10 years due to the presence of competitions in the female and veteran categories. This constant increase over the last 50 years has been mainly due to the creation of rowing clubs throughout the Cantabrian strip since the late 1960s. These institutions have been founded almost exclusively in the provinces of La Coruña, Pontevedra, Cantabria, Vizcaya and Guipúzcoa, regions where most of the competitions in this specialty are held.

Abstract:

Lichens, as well as other organisms, should be considered important biodiversity components for the establishment of priorities in conservation biology. In this study, we report six new recent localities of the highly endangered, epiphytic macrolichen Pseudocyphellaria aurata in Spain: two in Navarra and four in A Coruña. Previous Spanish reports based on literature and herbarium specimens suggest a reduction of the distribution area of P. aurata and local extinction. Pseudocyphellaria aurata is known to be extinct in six localities, where it has not been observed since the middle of the 19th century (Cádiz, Pontevedra, Málaga). Four records reported for central Spain (Zaragoza, Salamanca, Teruel) are considered unplausible. The newly discovered populations are located in well-preserved patches of atlantic deciduous forest with strong oceanic influence, whose long-term ecological stability seems evident because of the presence of ancient trees. Nevertheless, these populations are small, fragmentary, and are threatened by habitat degradation, forestry and maybe fungal pathogens. Two populations, Intzola and Beba (Navarra and A Coruña, respectively), account for 75.7% of thalli. The localities with the highest number of trees colonized by P. aurata are Santa Leocadia and Beba in A Coruña. We reassessed the conservation status of this species concluding that conservation initiatives must be implemented to avoid its extinction in mainland Spain.

Abstract:

Geothermal energy is a form of renewable energy with a long tradition in European countries, although it is scarcely used in Spain. One of the reasons for this is the poorly studied geothermal potential of the Spanish territory. In recent years, data published on terrestrial gamma radiation and the geochemistry of radioisotopes in rocks have suggested that the radiogenic heat production (RHP) in some areas of Spain is high. In this work, we assessed the RHP by analysing the U, Th, and K contents of the rocks underlying the most important campus of the University of A Coruña (northwest Spain), using in situ handheld gamma-ray spectrometry (GRS) and X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF). Our results provide a good fit of the radioisotope contents and unexpectedly high RHP, compared with average data observed in similar rocks (granodiorite). These results reveal that GRS is a very reliable tool for studying the RHP of rock surfaces, and that geothermal energy can be used in the area (i.e., the studied campus, but also most of the city of A Coruña, as it is built on the same underlying rock) for central heating in buildings using ground-source heat pumps (GSHPs).

Abstract:

Introduction and objectives. The increase in mortality and hospital admissions associated with high and low temperatures is well established. However, less is known about the influence of extreme ambient temperature conditions on cardiovascular ambulance dispatches. This study seeks to evaluate the effects of minimum and maximum daily temperatures on cardiovascular morbidity in the cities of Vigo and A Coruña in North-West Spain, using emergency medical calls during the period 2005–2017. Methods. For the purposes of analysis, we employed a quasi-Poisson time series regression model, within a distributed non-linear lag model by exposure variable and city. The relative risks of cold- and heat-related calls were estimated for each city and temperature model. Results. A total of 70,537 calls were evaluated, most of which were associated with low maximum and minimum temperatures on cold days in both cities. At maximum temperatures, significant cold-related effects were observed at lags of 3–6 days in Vigo and 5–11 days in A Coruña. At minimum temperatures, cold-related effects registered a similar pattern in both cities, with significant relative risks at lags of 4 to 12 days in A Coruña. Heat-related effects did not display a clearly significant pattern. Conclusions. An increase in cardiovascular morbidity is observed with moderately low temperatures without extremes being required to establish an effect. Public health prevention plans and warning systems should consider including moderate temperature range in the prevention of cardiovascular morbidity.

Abstract:

In recent years, port operators have shown an increasing interest in developing innovative automatic learning techniques, to provide complete predictive packages for safety and efficiency systems, trained and calibrated with field database. Another relevant aspect in these kinds of projects is to determine the long wave influence. The port-ship resonance, due to the coincidence between the long wave periods and the ship horizontal motions, causes downtimes with consequent economic losses. The Port Authority of A Coruña (Spain) started years ago to work towards the application of Artificial Intelligence, providing Machine Learning-based models in their facilities of its Outer Port of Punta Langosteira, together with the University of A Coruña. The main objective was to provide a system to predict operability and overtopping with the forecast of maritime climate information.

Abstract García, M. J., Tel, E., and Molinero, J. 2012. Sea-level variations on the north and northwest coasts of Spain. – ICES Journal of Marine Science, 69: 720–727. An exhaustive analysis of historical sea-level records at three stations located along the northern and northwestern Spanish coast has permitted a description of the mean sea-level trend over the past 67 years. The analysis also produced results on the type, amplitude, and propagation of tides, as well as on the range of variation in the sea level, extreme values, and return periods. Once corrected for the Post Glacial Rebound, the rise in the mean sea level was estimated at 2.38, 2.45, and 2.65 mm year−1 in Santander, A Coruña, and Vigo, respectively. The meteorological contribution is evaluated by the winter North Atlantic Oscillation index, producing a correlation of −0.658 with the empirical orthogonal function mode 1, which explained 81.86% of the total variance of winter (from December to March) mean sea levels. Harmonic analysis evidenced the semi-diurnal nature of the tide and showed that the amplitude and propagation of the M2 tidal wave followed the North Atlantic regional pattern, with decreasing amplitudes and phases from east to west. Hourly height levels were run through an extreme analysis and resulted in maximum sea-level values over the respective mean sea levels (datum): 2.55, 2.48, and 2.51 m in Santander, A Coruña, and Vigo, respectively. The estimated extreme levels for a 120-year return period exceeded the observed maxima in the three locations by 0.25, 015, and 0.10 m, respectively.

Abstract:

Several studies have shown a high prevalence of pathological gamblers among adults in Spain (between 1.5% and 1.7%) of the population (18 years and older). In other countries the prevalence of pathological gambling in children and adolescents has been higher than in adults. Here some results of the first studies conducted in Spain concerning the prevalence of pathological gambling in school children and adolescents (11–16 years) are presented for two cities located in different northern regions of Spain, A Coruña (Galicia) and Gijón (Asturias), with representative samples of school children. The prevalence was 2.2% ( n = 1,200) and 1.6% ( n = 2,185), respectively, for the use of slot machines, using the 1993 DSM-IVJ Questionnaire of Fisher, and 2.4% in the first city with the South Oaks Gambling Screen-Revised Adolescent for all types of gambling. The analyses suggest there is an emerging problem among children and adolescents in Spain perhaps leading to an increased number of pathological gamblers as adults.

Abstract:

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are recognized as important niches of antibiotic-resistant bacteria that can be easily spread to the environment. In this study, we collected wastewater samples from the WWTP of A Coruña (NW Spain) from April 2020 to February 2022 to evaluate the presence of Gram-negative bacteria harboring carbapenemase genes. Bacteria isolated from wastewater were classified and their antimicrobial profiles were determined. In total, 252 Gram-negative bacteria carrying various carbapenemase genes were described. Whole-genome sequencing was conducted on 55 selected carbapenemase producing isolates using Oxford Nanopore technology. This study revealed the presence of a significant population of bacteria carrying carbapenemase genes in WWTP, which constitutes a public health problem due to their risk of dissemination to the environment. This emphasizes the usefulness of WWTP monitoring for combating antibiotic resistance. Data revealed the presence of different types of sequences harboring carbapenemase genes, such as blaKPC-2, blaGES-5, blaGES-6, blaIMP-11, blaIMP-28, blaOXA-24, blaOXA-48, blaOXA-58, blaOXA-217, and blaVIM-2. Importantly, the presence of the blaKPC-2 gene in wastewater, several months before any clinical case was detected in University Hospital of A Coruña, suggests that wastewater-based epidemiology can be used as an early warning system for the surveillance of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Abstract:

Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has become an effective tool in the surveillance of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. In this work, we performed a brief study of monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 viral load in wastewater from six nursing homes located in the metropolitan area of A Coruña (Spain) between December 2020 and March 2021. The main objective was to detect SARS-CoV-2 outbreaks among residents and study the efficacy of the vaccination campaign. SARS-CoV-2 viral load (RNA copies per L of wastewater) was determined by reverse-transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) using the quantification cycle (Cq) values for the nucleocapsid (N) gene. Our results showed that the increase in viral load preceded the increase in clinical cases, favoring an early warning system that detects COVID-19 outbreaks in advance, making it possible to contain and stop the transmission of the virus among residents. In addition, the efficacy of the new COVID-19 vaccines was evidenced, since after the vaccination campaign in nursing homes in A Coruña, it was observed that many residents did not present any symptoms of the disease, although they excreted high amounts of virus in their feces. WBE is a cost-effective strategy that should be implemented in all cities to prevent new emerging diseases or future pandemic threats.

Abstract:

Research on the Neolithic monuments and dwellings of Atlantic Europe has shown that plays of light and colour were tools for the social and symbolic construction of the world. The integration of the architectures into the surrounding landscape and the incorporation of the surrounding landscape into the architectures were an essential part of this logic. In this context, recent research in the megalithic passage grave of Dombate has evidenced an unusual physical manifestation of sunlight, which interacts with the decorated back stone. The light-and-shadow phenomenon occurs at sunrise during the period of winter solstice. In this paper we discuss the particulars of this phenomenon and we argue that sunlight when it penetrates the passage and chamber at sunrise on these dates may have dictated how the art was located and applied to the structural stone. Such differentiation seems to have had important cultural and ritual significance and encoded/embedded meaning for the tomb builders and may have implications for the consideration of the symbolic dimension of similar architectures in Atlantic Europe.

In addition, measurements of water column properties and particles were made at five stations. The cases studied were representative of the main oceanographic situations that occur in this area and were related to the wind-induced upwelling. Phytoplankton blooms (> 100 mg chlorophyll−a m−2) were observed on two occasions in April and June, both during favourable upwelling conditions. The two other cases were studied during low phytoplankton biomass concentrations in the water column.

The most traditional PWV observation method is the radiosonde and it is often used as a standard to validate those derived from GNSS. For this reason, a location in the north of Spain, in A Coruña, which has a GNSS station with available data and also a radiosonde station, was chosen. Two GPS weeks, in different weather conditions were calculated. The result of the comparison between the GNSS- retrieved PWV and Radiosonde-PWV is explained in the last section of this paper.

The cube and Cubipod armored models corresponded to the Punta Langosteira Breakwater (A Coruña, Spain) during construction, when the primary layer is not in place and the crest freeboard is much lower. Overtopping rates for incomplete cross sections (those under construction) differed significantly from completed ones. After analyzing the variables influencing overtopping, new formulas were developed to estimate overtopping rates in a section during construction. Both the conventional Rc/Hm0 and the ratio Rc/d had a significant influence on overtopping rates of complete and incomplete cross sections.

Abstract:

Abstract Background In an effort to prevent and control the spread of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs), hospitals implement contact precautions (CP) for patients colonized/infected with MDROs. All agencies related to the prevention and control of infections recommend this practice, but they also recognize that is not exempt from unintended consequences. In 2017, SHEA published an expert guideline where they provide recommendations for discontinuation of CP. Currently, the most accepted recommendation is to perform at least one microbiological culture prior to discontinuing CP. The main objective of this project is to implement and evaluate a novel community -level approach to safely discontinue CP in patients with a history of colonization/infection with an MDRO. Methods The “Isolation Zero” project (IZ) was rolled out in November 2018 in the healthcare area of A Coruña, Spain. All clinical records of patients included in the MDROs alert system between 2005–2012 in A Coruña were reviewed. Patients included in the study were those who reside in the healthcare area of A Coruña and did not have any positive microbiological culture for MDROs in the last 2 years (Figure 1). Those who met the inclusion criteria were sent a letter suggesting that they obtain a nurse consultation in the next 2 months and that they provide specific MDRO cultures (Figure 2). Finally, the Department of Preventive Medicine (PM) reviewed all the results and identified patients for which CP could be safely discontinued in future hospitalizations. Results A total of 792 clinical records were reviewed (Table 1). 184 patients met the inclusion criteria. The response rate was 60.3% (111 patients). The most frequent MDRO tested was MRSA (84.8%), followed by MDR Acinetobacter (7.6%). CP were withdrawn for a total of 83 patients, while 15 patients continued to test positive (Table 2). Conclusion These results suggest that even after more than 2 years without a positive result, 13,5% of patients remain positive for MDROs. Therefore, in order to safely minimize the use of CP, we conclude that an approach similar to that used in IZ is a good option for PM Departments. Follow-up at the community -level can help reduce the number of hospital isolations required and can help improve the overall quality of care. Disclosures All authors: No reported disclosures.

The goal of the present study was to evaluate the diversity among cultivars and natural clover populations at morphological and molecular level. Twelve polymorphic SSR loci revealed 241 microsatellite alleles with an average of 20.08 alleles per locus. Two main groups were detected by the Structure software, one of them including local populations and the second clustering cultivars and related populations. Intra-specific variability was found among cultivars and natural populations. A moderate genetic differentiation of Spanish red clover cultivars was observed (Fst = 0.08) between the two main clusters. Finally, a certain relationship between phenotypic and genotypic variation was detected.
