Empathy deficits have been proposed to be an important factor for intimate partner violence (IPV). IPV perpetrators have shown a differential change in salivary oxytocin (sOXT), testosterone (sT), and cortisol (sC), following empathic and stress tasks, compared to non-violent men. However, the influence of empathic deficits in those hormones after an emotion-induction task in IPV perpetrators remains unclear. We analyzed the effects of an empathic induction task on endogenous sOXT, sT and sC levels, as well as their hormonal ratios, in IPV perpetrators (n = 12), and compared them to controls (n = 12). Additionally, we explored the predictive capacity of empathy-related functions (measured with the interpersonal reactivity index) in the hormonal responses to the task. IPV perpetrators presented lower sOXT changes and higher total sT levels than controls after the task, lower sOXT/T change and total sOXT/T levels, as well as higher total sT/C levels. Notably, for all participants, the lower the perspective taking score, the lower the total sOXT levels and sOXT changes and the higher the sT changes were. Low perspective taking also predicted smaller sOXT/T and sOXT/C changes in the empathic induction task, and higher total sT/C levels for all participants. Therefore, our results could contribute to furthering our ability to focus on new therapeutic targets, increasing the effectiveness of intervention programs and helping to reduce IPV recidivism in the medium term.

La investigación estudia de una forma global la organización regional desde sus orígenes, a comienzos de los años setenta hasta el año 2008, cuando desaparece el Centro Territorial de TVE enMadrid para convertirse en un área de los servicios informativos centrales enMadrid, con sede en Torrespaña. Estudiamos cómo se fue gestando la red de los Centros Territoriales o Regionales de TVE, que, en el franquismo, se llamaron “unidades móviles regionales” para evitar cualquier reivindicación regionalista. Se llamaban así porque cada centro regional contaba sobre el papel con una unidad móvil. La incipiente programación regional de TVE, incluida como una cuestión de Estado, en el II Plan de Desarrollo, se convirtió así en un instrumento más del aparato de propaganda franquista en un Estado fuertemente centralizado. Esta red regional de TVE se completó en 1989 con la inauguración de los dos últimos Centros que quedaban pendientes, el de Castilla-La Mancha, en Toledo, y el de Extremadura, con sede en Mérida, un acontecimiento que llegaba veinte años después de la aprobación de los Centros de Oviedo, Bilbao, Sevilla, Valencia y Santiago de Compostela, los primeros centros regionales o territoriales de TVE. Este proceso no fue fácil y lo hemos abordado de una forma integradora, abarcando los aspectos legales, laborales y los estrictamente funcionales u organizativos de TVE, la televisión pública española...

Introduction Cow's milk and egg are the most frequent causes of food allergy in the first years of life. Treatments such as oral immunotherapy (OIT) have been investigated as an alternative to avoidance diets. No clinical practice guides on the management of OIT with milk and egg are currently available. Objectives To develop a clinical guide on OIT based on the available scientific evidence and the opinions of experts. Methods A review was made of studies published in the period between 1984 and June 2016, Doctoral Theses published in Spain, and summaries of communications at congresses (SEAIC, SEICAP, EAACI, AAAAI), with evaluation of the opinion consensus established by a group of experts pertaining to the scientific societies SEICAP and SEAIC. Results Recommendations have been established regarding the indications, requirements and practical aspects of the different phases of OIT, as well as special protocols for patients at high risk of suffering adverse reactions. Conclusions A clinical practice guide is presented for the management of OIT with milk and egg, based on the opinion consensus of Spanish experts.

We assembled genome-wide data from 271 ancient Iberians, of whom 176 are from the largely unsampled period after 2000 BCE, thereby providing a high-resolution time transect of the Iberian Peninsula. We document high genetic substructure between northwestern and southeastern hunter-gatherers before the spread of farming. We reveal sporadic contacts between Iberia and North Africa by ~2500 BCE and, by ~2000 BCE, the replacement of 40% of Iberia's ancestry and nearly 100% of its Y-chromosomes by people with Steppe ancestry. We show that, in the Iron Age, Steppe ancestry had spread not only into Indo-European-speaking regions but also into non-Indo-European-speaking ones, and we reveal that present-day Basques are best described as a typical Iron Age population without the admixture events that later affected the rest of Iberia. Additionally, we document how, beginning at least in the Roman period, the ancestry of the peninsula was transformed by gene flow from North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean., J.M.F., F.J.L.-C., J.I.M., F.X.O., J.D., and M.S.B. were supported by HAR2017-86509-P, HAR2017-87695-P, and SGR2017-11 from the Generalitat de Catalunya, AGAUR agency.

Generalmente, los estudios realizados sobre víctimas de violencia de pareja (VP) se han centrado en investigar el impacto de dicha violencia sobre la salud de las mujeres y, más concretamente, sobre su salud mental, obteniéndose que las víctimas presentan un peor estado de salud frente a las no víctimas. Consecuentemente, el daño psíquico encontrado ha sido utilizado también como un medidor de la gravedad de la violencia sufrida. El objetivo principal de este trabajo fue comprobar si las mujeres presentaban distintos perfiles de deterioro en su salud mental en función del tipo de violencia sufrida. Se llevó a cabo un estudio transversal con 108 mujeres víctimas de VP que fueron divididas en tres grupos: sin síntomas (n=30), con depresión (n=50), con depresión y Trastorno por Estrés Postraumático (TEPT) (n=28). Los análisis estadísticos realizados establecieron que el desarrollo de depresión, depresión/TEPT o el no padecer síntomas de estos trastornos no se asociaba al tipo de violencia sufrida (física, psicológica y/o sexual) al aportar datos estadísticamente no significativos. Estos resultados indican que las mujeres víctimas no conforman un grupo homogéneo entre ellas, apuntando que no debiera utilizarse únicamente el deterioro presentado en su salud mental como la variable que valore la gravedad de la violencia sufrida

The lberian Península provides an excellent context in which to assess the final impact of population movements entering the European continent from the east as well as prehistoric and historie connections with North Africa. We report new genome-wide data from 271 ancient individuals from Iberia, providing the most comprehensive genetic time transect of any world region over the last 8,000 years. We document population structure in the peninsula's hunter-gatherers, with northwestern but not southeastern individuals showing increased genetic affinity to central European hunter-gatherers in the centuries befare the arrival of farmers. We provide evidence of sporadic contacts from North Africa beginning at least -4,500 years ago, and by -4,000 years ago the replacement of -40% of the autosomal ancestry and 100% of the Y-chromosomes of Bronze Age groups by migrants ultimately originating in the steppe. From the lron Age, we report genome-wide data from individuals excavated in non-lndo-European speaking regions and show that they were genetically similar to contemporaries from an lndo-European-speaking region in harboring substantial proportions of steppe ancestry. With the exception of Basques who remain broadly similar to lron Age populations, during the past 2,500 years lberian populations were affected by additional gene-flow from the central/eastern Mediterranean region, probably associated with the Roman conques!, and from North Africa during the period of Muslim rule but also in earlier periods.

The paper analyzes the Bell Beaker graves with female burials from three sites located near one another in the region of Madrid. The study addresses the female presence within contexts that have traditionally been considered mainly male. The variability of their grave goods and burial rituals and their identification in primary and secondary, single or collective inhumations, is also analyzed. Their associations with male adult individuals and/ or children are reviewed, and the social role of women buried with daggers in significant graves is discussed. Although the sample is quantitatively insufficient, its variability at least allows us to refute previons claims about the numerical superiority of male graves that have been made without any empirical support. We conclude with a discussion of why there are fewer women in Bell Beaker tombs than in contemporaneous tombs without Bell Beakers., El trabajo analiza las tumbas campaniformes con inhumaciones femeninas de tres yacimientos próximos entre sí localizados en la región de Madrid, destacando su presencia en unos contextos que tradicionalmente se han considerado básicamente masculinos. Se registra también la variabilidad de estos contextos, en sus ajuares y en los rituales de inhumación, sean individuales o colectivos y en posiciones primarias o secundarias. Así mismo, se revisan sus asociaciones a individuos masculinos adultos y /o a infantiles, y se discute la asociación de mujeres en tumbas relevantes con puñales. Aunque la muestra es cuantitativamente insuficiente, la variedad del registro nos permite, al menos, desmontar ciertas afirmaciones que se han venido repitiendo sin ningún apoyo empírico sobre la rotunda superioridad numérica de tumbas campaniformes con inhumaciones masculinas. Pero más allá de la recopilación de estos datos es importante reflexionar sobre el porqué de la menor presencia de mujeres con respecto a los hombres en las manifestaciones funerarias de los grupos campaniformes cuando en las tumbas coetáneas no campaniformes es precisamente la mujer la que suele estar mejor representada.

Agriculture first reached the Iberian Peninsula around 5700 BCE. However, little is known about the genetic structure and changes of prehistoric populations in different geographic areas of Iberia. In our study, we focus on the maternal genetic makeup of the Neolithic (~ 5500–3000 BCE), Chalcolithic (~ 3000–2200 BCE) and Early Bronze Age (~ 2200–1500 BCE). We report ancient mitochondrial DNA results of 213 individuals (151 HVS-I sequences) from the northeast, central, southeast and southwest regions and thus on the largest archaeogenetic dataset from the Peninsula to date. Similar to other parts of Europe, we observe a discontinuity between hunter-gatherers and the first farmers of the Neolithic. During the subsequent periods, we detect regional continuity of Early Neolithic lineages across Iberia, however the genetic contribution of hunter-gatherers is generally higher than in other parts of Europe and varies regionally. In contrast to ancient DNA findings from Central Europe, we do not observe a major turnover in the mtDNA record of the Iberian Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age, suggesting that the population history of the Iberian Peninsula is distinct in character.

En el presente trabajo reflexionamos sobre diferentes aspectos relacionados con la violencia intergrupal o interpersonal durante el Calcolítico peninsular a través de algunas evidencias arqueológicas, además de presentar otros registros antropológicos inéditos. Especial atención merecen una serie de lesiones en hueso causadas por actos violentos que han sido documentadas en dos yacimientos calcolíticos madrileños, como son Camino de las Yeseras y Humanejos y al que se le añade otro posible caso encontrado en la necrópolis de Ciempozuelos. Del primer yacimiento se valoran diferentes registros en una fosa con una inhumación múltiple que acoge a un posible grupo familiar asociado a numerosas puntas de flecha y cuya causa de muerte pudo estar en relación con un episodio violento. Mucho más evidentes son las lesiones que presentan otros dos varones campaniformes: un individuo madurosenil de Camino de las Yeseras con una fractura y acusada desviación de los nasales que podría ser un indicio de un enfrentamiento interpersonal, mientras que otro varón adulto de Humanejos fue víctima de un contundente golpe en el frontal ante mortem, posiblemente golpeado con una azuela o hachita de cobre. Estos casos permiten intuir la existencia de conflictos inter o intragrupales más o menos organizados. Por otra parte se justifica la construcción de defensas arquitectónicas en una serie de yacimientos peninsulares, las cuales están asociadas a un considerable número de puntas de proyectil localizadas en sus accesos, tramos de murallas y en talleres próximos a ellas. Durante el Calcolítico, la necesidad de garantizar la seguridad de estas comunidades prehistóricas hace que la producción de las puntas en sílex y posteriormente en metal (Palmela) sean un recurso armamentístico de primer rango, siendo secundario su empleo en las actividades cinegéticas, como quedan avalados por los estudios arqueofaunísticos. También se discute el empleo de útiles habituales recuperados en los horizontes habitacionales como testimonios de actos de violencia, muy probablemente, surgidos por las propias desavenencias cotidianas o intergrupales. Todos estos procesos desembocan en el surgimiento de panoplias armamentísticas en el horizonte campaniforme en el que, aunque con discutida funcionalidad, su exhibición y amortización en las tumbas se hace muy patente, This study focuses on aspects related to interpersonal or intergroup violence during the Iberian Chalcolithic by discussing some archaeological evidences which have not been thoroughly evaluated to date. Particular attention is given to a series of injuries observed in some burials, which in the light of recent anthropological and paleopathological studies are becoming more numerous and diverse. Besides reviewing some papers and proposals on bone injuries resulting from acts of violence, new documented evidences are offered from the study of two Chalcolithic burials in Madrid: Camino de las Yeseras and Humanejos and related to an old one from the cemetery of Ciempozuelos. In the first of these sites, a multiple inhumation in a pit has been documented. It contains a possible family group associated with flint arrow heads intermingled with the skeletons and they seem to be related to the violent death of the group in a short space of time. Far more striking are the injuries found on two Bell Beaker males, one of them from Camino de las Yeseras, a senile with broken and deviated nasal bones, probably due to an interpersonal conflict. The second example, from Humanejos, is a 30 year old male who was a victim of a major traumatic injury to the forehead ante mortem. It was possibly caused by a copper adze or small axe, due to a face-to-face conflict. Both cases seem to suggest that, interpersonal or intergroup violence during the Iberian Chalcolithic is not infrequent. Also the archaeological record is revealing the existence of defensive architectures in several sites, where a considerable amount of arrow heads have been recovered in entrances, walls and workshops. These circumstances and the increase of arrow heads also in some ditched enclosures could explain their productions as primary defensive and offensive artefacts and later on the emergence of the first copper Palmela arrow heads in Iberia. Otherwise, as the archaeozoological studies of some chalcolithic sites reveal, that the increasing frequency of the flint arrow heads productions are not necessarily related to the rise of hunting activities during the 3rd millennium. It is also discussed the use of some metal tools as weapons during the Bell Beaker horizon as they only appear in household contexts and the functionality of some of the Beaker “package” items from tombs as weapons

Objectives To analyse the individual differences in the impact that intimate male partner violence (IPV) has on a woman's depressive and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology, and to determine the association of the different profiles of mental dysfunction with cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) basal saliva levels as well as physical health symptoms. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out in which IPV victims (n=73) and control non-abused (n=31) women participated. Information was obtained through structured interviews and saliva samples were collected for hormonal assays under baseline conditions. Results There were three profiles of mental symptoms in IPV subjects: no symptoms (n=19); with depressive symptoms (n=36), and depressive/PTSD symptom (n=18). None of the non-abused women had depressive or PTSD symptoms. The stress hormone response differed between groups. Only the IPV-depressive group had higher evening cortisol, and both morning and evening DHEA, but lower morning cortisol/DHEA ratio than non-abused women. Furthermore, there were differences between the IPV groups. The IPV-depressive group had lower morning cortisol and morning cortisol/DHEA ratio than the IPV-no symptoms and lower morning cortisol/DHEA ratio than the IPV-depressive/PTSD group. With respect to the physical symptoms there was an association between the mean of symptoms and the profile of mental health, the incidence being higher in the depressive/PTSD group than in the other groups. Conclusions This study demonstrates that there are individual differences in the impact that IPV has on the stress response and health status in women victims.

Bell Beaker pottery spread across western and central Europe beginning around 2750 BCE before disappearing between 2200–1800 BCE. The mechanism of its expansion is a topic of long-standing debate, with support for both cultural diffusion and human migration. We present new genome-wide ancient DNA data from 170 Neolithic, Copper Age and Bronze Age Europeans, including 100 Beaker-associated individuals. In contrast to the Corded Ware Complex, which has previously been identified as arriving in central Europe following migration from the east, we observe limited genetic affinity between Iberian and central European Beaker Complex-associated individuals, and thus exclude migration as a significant mechanism of spread between these two regions. However, human migration did have an important role in the further dissemination of the Beaker Complex, which we document most clearly in Britain using data from 80 newly reported individuals dating to 3900–1200 BCE. British Neolithic farmers were genetically similar to contemporary populations in continental Europe and in particular to Neolithic Iberians, suggesting that a portion of the farmer ancestry in Britain came from the Mediterranean rather than the Danubian route of farming expansion. Beginning with the Beaker period, and continuing through the Bronze Age, all British individuals harboured high proportions of Steppe ancestry and were genetically closely related to Beaker-associated individuals from the Lower Rhine area. We use these observations to show that the spread of the Beaker Complex to Britain was mediated by migration from the continent that replaced >90% of Britain’s Neolithic gene pool within a few hundred years, continuing the process that brought Steppe ancestry into central and northern Europe 400 years earlier.

This paper present a first approach to the Calcolithic settlement of “Camino de las Yeseras” in which a third millenium BC occupation has been documented. During the transition to the second millenium BC, Bell Beaker groups appear in the sequence. They exploit new lithic resources, adapt their domestic stock for increased mobility, and practice new diversified funerary rituals in the settlement. The temporal framework is supported by a sequence of many C14 and TL dates. El trabajo ofrece una primera aproximación al Yacimiento Calcolítico de Camino de Las Yeseras donde se ha documentado una ocupación a lo largo del III milenio que, en el tránsito al II milenio AC, acoge a grupos poseedores de cerámica campaniforme que renuevan los equipos materiales con la explotación de nuevos recursos líticos, adaptan su cabaña a una mejor movilidad y practican rituales funerarios diversificados dentro del poblado. El marco temporal se avala con una importante secuencia de dataciones de C14 y TL, plenamente coincidentes. &nbsp

Objective: This study aimed to determine the impact of lifetime physical, psychological, and sexual intimate male partner violence (IPV) on the mental health of women, after controlling for the contribution of lifetime victimization. The comorbidity of depressive symptoms and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and their relation to state anxiety and suicide were also assessed. Methods: Physically/psychologically (n 75) and psychologically abused women (n 55) were compared with nonabused control women (n 52). Information about sociodemographic characteristics, lifetime victimization, and mental health status (depressive and state anxiety symptoms, PTSD, and suicide) was obtained through face-to-face structured interviews. Results: Women exposed to physical/psychological and psychological IPV had a higher incidence and severity of depressive and anxiety symptoms, PTSD, and thoughts of suicide than control women, with no differences between the two abused groups. The concomitance of sexual violence was associated with a higher severity of depressive symptoms in both abused groups and a higher incidence of suicide attempts in the physically/psychologically abused group. The incidence of PTSD alone was very rare, and depressive symptoms were either alone or comorbid with PTSD. The severity of state anxiety was higher in abused women with depressive symptoms or comorbidity, as was the incidence of suicidal thoughts in the physically/psychologically abused group. Lifetime victimization was not a predictor of the deterioration of mental health in this study. Conclusions: These findings indicate that psychological IPV is as detrimental as physical IPV, with the exception of effects on suicidality, which emphasizes that psychological IPV should be considered a major type of violence by all professionals involved. Este es un artículo ampliamente citado internacionalmente respeto a violencia de pareja y consecuencias en la salud de las mujeres.

This article contains a progress report on the sedimentological studies on ditched enclosures 4 and 6 from the Chalcolithic site of 'Camino de Las Yeseras’ (Madrid, Spain). Due to the natural features on which the site stands, and using different analyses (particle size, texture, x-ray diffraction, and other physico-chemical studies), we were able to differentiate natural fillings from those anthropogenic in origin and, at the same time, establish theevolution of these structures’ infilling. In this contribution we want to emphasize that the use of sedimentological techniques is essential when interpreting the use and clogging dynamics within the boundaries of ditched enclosures.

El artículo da a conocer una fosa de enterramiento múltiple localizada en Humanejos (Parla, Madrid), un gran poblado de “silos” Calcolítico. Una primera parte se dedica al estudio antropológico y paleopatológico de ocho individuos inhumados en dos niveles. Los seis del nivel inferior pertenecen posiblemente a un mismo grupo familiar. En una segunda parte, a través del estudio tafonómico, se reconstruye la secuencia de inhumación que, a juzgar por el desplazamiento parcial de uno de los cuerpos, se realizó, al menos, en tres momentos diferentes. Los gestos de colocación y traslado estuvieron orientados a reproducir una escenografía dedicada a destacar los roles desempeñados por algunos de los miembros del grupo, This contribution presents a multiple burial in pit from Humanejos site, a large Chalcolithic settlement located in Parla, Madrid. The first part deals with the anthropological and palaeopathological study of eight indivials buried in two stratigraphic levels. The six individuals from the lower level may belong to the same family. In a second part the taphonomic study reconstruct the sequence burial. This analysis shows that -given to the partial displacement of one of the bodies-, the burial took place at least three different times. Placement gestures and movements could be aimed to reproduce a scene dedicated to highlight the roles played by some of the group members, El trabajo ha sido realizado dentro del Proyecto: Las sociedades calcolíticas y su marco temporal en la región de Madrid.

Intimate male partner violence against women has been recognized as an important public health problem, with a high impact on women’s mental health, including depressive and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. However, fathers who have been involved in intimate partner violence (IPV) have an increased probability of being violent toward their children. The aim of this study was to assess the relation between the mental health status of abused women, their partner’s violence toward the children, and their maternal behavior.

C. en convivencia con grupos Calcoliticos peninsulares y se prolonga, en su modalidad de estilo Ciempozuelos, hasta el final del primer cuarto del II milenio a. C. como un fenomeno paralelo al surgimiento de las primeras comunidades de la Edad del Bronce en la zona, lo que puede explicar ciertos paralelos tipologicos y sociales entre algunas manifestaciones del Bronce Antiguo y los ultimos campaniformes.Palabras clave: Calcolitico, Campaniforme, Edad del Bronce, cronologia, carbono 14.SummaryThis paper raises the problem of Bell Beaker horizon as a phenomenon hinge between the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age. Particularly in the center of the Iberian Peninsula where dating obtained confirm its implementation since the midthird millennium, in coexistence with Chalcolithic groups. The presence of these Bell Beaker groups extends –with Ciempozuelos style, until the end of the first quarter of the second millennium, as a parallel phenomenon to the emergence of the first communities in the Bronze Age in this area. It could explain similarities between objects and social manifestations of the Bronze Age and the last Bell Beakers.Keywords: Chalcolithic, Bell beaker. Bronze Age, chronology, 14C dating.

El trabajo da a conocer los resultados de recientes analisis realizados a diferentes componentes de los ajuares de enterramientos calcoliticos, especialmente campaniformes, de la region de Madrid. Con esta informacion, a parte de la clasica panoplia donada en los registros funerarios, otras entregas menos estudiadas evidencian con mayor rotundidad la capacidad adquisitiva y de control que determinados personajes pudieron tener sobre algunos recursos. Ademas del cobre y el oro, sobre los que ya se ha llamado la atencion, el marfil y el cinabrio se perfilan como materias especialmente recurrentes en los registros funerarios campaniformes ricos. Su reiterada presencia indica que, aparte de controlar sus vias de distribucion, se amplia el valor simbolico y de prestigio de los ajuares y los ritos de una elite cuyo poder adquiere aun mas fuerza de la que se hasta ahora se le habia asignado a partir de su clasica panoplia funeraria asociada.

Background It is well established that intimate male partner violence (IPV) has a high impact on women's mental health. It is necessary to further investigate this impact longitudinally to assess the factors that contribute to its recovery or deterioration. The objective of this study was to assess the course of depressive, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and suicidal behavior over a three-year follow-up in female victims of IPV. Methods Women (n = 91) who participated in our previous cross-sectional study, and who had been either physically/psychologically (n = 33) or psychologically abused (n = 23) by their male partners, were evaluated three years later. A nonabused control group of women (n = 35) was included for comparison. Information about mental health status and lifestyle variables was obtained through face-to-face structured interviews. Results Results of the follow-up study indicated that while women exposed to physical/psychological IPV recovered their mental health status with a significant decrease in depressive, anxiety and PTSD symptoms, no recovery occurred in women exposed to psychological IPV alone. The evolution of IPV was also different: while it continued across both time points in 65.21% of psychologically abused women, it continued in only 12.12% of physically/psychologically abused women while it was reduced to psychological IPV in 51.5%. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that cessation of physical IPV and perceived social support contributed to mental health recovery, while a high perception of lifetime events predicted the continuation of PTSD symptoms. Conclusion This study shows that the pattern of mental health recovery depends on the type of IPV that the women had been exposed to. While those experiencing physical/psychological IPV have a higher likelihood of undergoing a cessation or reduction of IPV over time and, therefore, could recover, women exposed to psychological IPV alone have a high probability of continued exposure to the same type of IPV with a low possibility of recovery. Thus, women exposed to psychological IPV alone need more help to escape from IPV and to recuperate their mental health. Longitudinal studies are needed to improve knowledge of factors promoting or impeding health recovery to guide the formulation of policy at individual, social and criminal justice levels.

La hemodiálisis puede generar inestabilidad hemodinámica, desencadenando episodios de hipotensión, algunos sintomáticos. La función HASTE del monitor Colin, permite la monitorización no invasiva y continuada de la TA mediante un algoritmo de cálculo, para el cual precisa la señal del ECG y la onda de saturación de O2. Con los objetivos de validar la toma de TA mediante el monitor Colin y demostrar la capacidad de detección de hipotensión presintomática mediante la función HASTE, se realiza un estudio descriptivo longitudinal, durante 4 semanas. Para validar el monitor Colin se comparó la TA tomada cada 30 minutos en pacientes en HD con el monitor y con el método convencional (aparato de tensión automática). Para demostrar la capacidad de detección de hipotensión presintomática mediante la función HASTE y la disminución de hipotensión sintomática mediante una actuación precoz, elegimos pacientes que presentaban una TA inferior o igual a100 / 50 mmHg en un 30 % de las HD efectuadas durante los 2 meses previos. Se hallaron 57 episodios de hipotensión sintomática, 27 episodios en el período convencional y 30 episodios durante el período Colin, sin hallarse diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambos métodos. Las hipotensiones sintomáticas durante el período Colin tienen una media TA sistólica 91,03 mmHg y TA diastólica de 51,1 mmHg. Con el método convencional se registraron 237 medidas de TA sistólica inferiores a los límites establecidos, con una media de 89,09 mmHg y 87 medidas de TA diastólica con una media de 45,36 mmHg. Por tanto, no hay diferencia estadística significativa en la toma de la TA entre ambos aparatos y se observan más número de registros de TA por debajo de los límites establecidos en el período Colin por la monitorización continua a través de la función HASTE. Las hipotensiones sintomáticas registradas durante el período convencional son más acusadas requiriendo un mayor número de intervenciones de enfermería.

En el presente trabajo se exponen los principales hallazgos documentados en un "fondo" geminado del yacimiento de La Edad del Bronce de La Fabrica de Ladrillos. Mientras que los restos ceramicos - caracteristicos del horizonte Protocogotas- parecen corresponderse con materiales amortizados, posiblemente empleados como material de sellado del conjunto depositado y el material litico- fundamentalmente piezas amortizadas- tambien es escaso, aunque variado en su procedencia, los restos de fauna son muy abundantes y estan bien conservados. En el conjunto recuperado priman porciones articuladas del esqueleto axial y apendicular de, al menos, cinco ejemplares jovenes de vacuno que parecen indicar el uso de este taxon en aspectos que trascienden mas alla de su tradicional empleo en la obtencion de productos primarios y secundarios

El articulo da a conocer un pequeno lote de fragmentos de espetones de bronce procedentes de dos tumbas de la necropolis de La Cerrada de los Santos (Aragoncillo) y de otro enterramiento del cementerio de Chera (Prados Redondos), todos ellos en la provincia de Guadalajara y pertenecientes al Celtiberico Antiguo. Estos hallazgos amplian el mapa de su reparto en la Peninsula. El estudio se completa con un morillo de hierro, muy probablemente procedente de la necropolis de El Atance, tambien en la provincia de Guadalajara. El trabajo da pie al estudio metalografico de los ejemplares y a la reflexion sobre su significado en relacion con los ritos de fuego y los banquetes.Palabras clave: Celtiberico, metalurgia, banquetes rituales.SummaryThe article shows a small amount of bronze “espetones”, fragments procedent from two graves of “La Cerrada de los Santos (Aragoncillo)” necropolis, and, on the other hand, from “Chora (Prado Redondos)” cementery. All the inhumations come from Guadalajara province and they belong culturally to the province and they belongs culturally to the Old Celtiberic. Recent discoveries increase the distribution of the Old Celtiberic culture. The study is completed by an iron “morillo”, probably precedent from “El Atance” cementery, also located in Guadalajara province, This paper gives new data not only related with metalographic studies of different instruments, but also for reflexion about their meaning in relation with the fire and banquet rituals.Key words: Celtiberic, metalurgy, ritual banquet

El trabajo ofrece una revisión de la Prehistoria Reciente de la Cuenca Baja del Manzanares que sintetiza el proceso histórico desde el Neolítico hasta el Bronce Final en elinterior peninsular. Para ello se han reinterpretado los datos que ofrecen los numerosos yacimientos de la zona y algunos de los materiales más significativos depositados en el Museo Arqueológico de Barcelona, que forman parte de la Colección Bento. This paper offers a revision oftheRecient Prehistoryin LoverManzanares Valley, with a syntesis of historical process from Neolithic to Final Bronze Age development in the Center of Iberian Peninsula. With this purpouse we have reinterpreted the data offered by the sites of the area, and most significative materialsincluded in Bento Collection, stored in ArchaeologicalMuseum of Catalonia in Barcelona.

El trabajo da conocer un yacuniento de la Edad del hierro localizado en el entorno del Arroyo Culebro. Los datos que aporta marcan una nueva estrategia de poblarniento frente a las pautas del la Edad del Bronce pero evidencia una continuidad en la arquitectura domestica efimera. I'or primera vez se documenta en la Meseta Sur la inhumacion cle un neonato en el espacio domestico, donde se habian practicado todos los enterramientos en epocas previas. Los materiales ceramicos recuperados en este sitio son un buen exponente de la confluencia de tradicio-nes y de contactos e influencias que se producen en esta zona central de la Peninsula y de facil comunicacion y permiten definir la personalidad del area carpetana en relacion con los pueblos limitrofes. = The paper is an approach of an Iron Age site located in the surroundings of the Culebro stream. The data indicates a new settlement strategy in contrary to the guidelines observed for the Bronze Age, but still shows a continuity of the ephemeral domestic architecture. It is documented for the first time in the South Meseta, the inhu-mation of a newborn in the domestic area where it would have been practiced all the burials in previous periods. The ceramic materials recovered in this site are a good exponent of the traditions and contacts confluen-ces, and also of the influences in this area of the central Peninsula of easy communication that allows to define the personality of the Carpetan area with regard to the neighbouring cultures.

Este trabajo ofrece un panorama general de la Edad del Bronce en las cuencas del Duero y Tajo. En el se recoge un elenco de las dataciones obtenidas en contextos claros y se revisan los rasgos culturales mas destacables en los sucesivos horizontes, a partir de los datos que ofrecen los asentamientos, las manifestaciones funerarias y los materiales muebles recuperados en ellos.

El trabajo da a conocer la primera datacion de c14 para la fase protocogotas I en el valle del tajo, la muestra analizada procede de una de las "fosas" del yacimiento madrileno del caserio de perales del rio y estaba asociada a un contexto muy homogeneo que permite adscribirlo, sin dudas, a la fase de formacion del horizonte Cogotas I. La datacion coincide plenamente con las que se conocian procedentes de conjuntos del valle del Duero con caracteristicas culturales similares a las del caserio de perales.. El resultado arroja una fecha de 1406 a. C. Y de 1629 cal bc, confirmando los origenes del horizonte a mediados del II milenio, en paralelo al desarrollo de otros circulos peninsulares del bronce pleno.

El trabajo presenta los resultados obtenidos en los analisis de termoluminiscencia realizados sobre muestras de ladrillos utilizados en la construccion de algunos de los monumentos mas significativos de la Merida romana como son el teatro, el anfiteatro y el acueducto. Asi mismo se exponen los problemas que, para analisis de este tipo, acarrea una arquitectura en la que se combina el aparejo de ladrillo con el granito.

El trabajo da a conocer la presencia de cinco enterramientos de inhumacion (cuatro individuales y uno doble) dentro del ambito de un poblado de la edad del bronce perteneciente al horizonte protocogotas. La escasez de este tipo de hallazgos y la variedad ritual que presentan confieren a estas manifestaciones un especial interes. La excavacion arqueologica realizada en la localidad madrilena de Perales del Rio, cercana a Getafe, saco a luz los restos oseos de varios individuos. La zona en la que se encuentra este yacimiento pertenece a las terrazas producidas por el curso del rio Manzanares

En este trabajo se da a conocer un nuevo yacimiento de la primera edad del hierro situado en el termino de Pinto (Madrid). Los materiales recuperados en este habitat son un claro reflejo de las relaciones que esta zona mantiene con las regiones peninsulares meridionales y, mas concretamente, con las primeras colonias fenicias establecidas en nuestras costas.

Este trabajo estudia el conjunto de yacimientos y hallazgos procedentes de la region de Madrid, enmarcados dentro de la i edad del hierro y con una cronologia centrada en los siglos VII y VI antes de Cristo. A traves de estos conjuntos es posible empezar a definir los rasgos mas caracterisiticos de un horizonte, que hasta ahora apenas era conocido.

En este articulo se presenta el hallazgo producido en un posible conjunto tumbal en el Espartal (Madrid). Se trata de un mango de hueso trabajado y de un plato de barniz rojo. El primero esta relacionado con la industria osea desarrollada por grupos de la II edad del hierro de la meseta norte y el plato es un exponente de los influjos ibericos en esta region de la submeseta sur.
