Abstract

The paper presents a methodology for uncovering knowledge gaps on the internet using the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) model. By simulating user search behaviour, the RAG system identifies and addresses gaps in information retrieval systems. The study demonstrates the effectiveness of the RAG system in generating relevant suggestions with a consistent accuracy of 93%. The methodology can be applied in various fields such as scientific discovery, educational enhancement, research development, market analysis, search engine optimisation, and content development. The results highlight the value of identifying and understanding knowledge gaps to guide future endeavours.

Abstract

Introduction: The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), in its 14-item (PSS-14) and 10-item (PSS-10) versions, is a widely used instrument. However, it has been understudied in medical and nursing personnel, and a variety of factor structures have been reported. Objective: To examine the internal structure of the PSS in Peruvian medical and nursing personnel using exploratory graph analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Materials and Methods: The sample consisted of 2,848 nurses and 2,219 physicians who participated in the Peruvian Ministry of Health's ENSUSALUD in 2015 and were administered the PSS-14 and PSS-10. Analyses were performed using the EGAnet and lavaan packages in R. Results: The PSS-14 formed 2 dimensions in medical personnel and 3 dimensions in nursing personnel, but items 12 and 13 showed little robustness in the latter group. Reanalysis after removing these items indicated that the 12-item version is plausible in nurses. Additionally, the PSS-10 showed a robust two-dimensional structure in both groups. Confirmatory factor analysis found that the two-dimensional models had good fit, as well as adequate reliability and consistency. Conclusions: The PSS is a useful instrument for measuring stress in medical and nursing personnel. However, the PSS-10 is more appropriate; while in the PSS-14, items 12 and 13 should be omitted. Both versions are two-dimensional for both physicians and nurses.

Abstract

Abstract Background The concept of quality in health care has evolved, placing greater importance on the patient’s needs, culture, and social context, as well as their participation in clinical decision-making, as highlighted by Mead and Bower’s Person-Centered Care Model. The aim of the present study was to design and validate an instrument to assess the extent to which healthcare services provided by PEMEX (Petróleos Mexicanos) offer person-centered care according to user perceptions. Methods The first phase comprised the development of 57 items based on the analysis of responses from an open-ended questionnaire administered to 30 users of Pemex healthcare services. This questionnaire was designed considering the four factors of the person-centered care model, however, the high correlation between the 4 factors (i.e., r ≥ .80) indicated an overfactoring effect and consequently an increase in the risk of overfitting. Therefore, an exhaustive analysis of the instrument was performed, starting with the review of the individual behavior of each item, and carrying out exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Using a sample of 330 individuals, an exploratory factor analysis was perfomed. Afterward, a confirmatory factorial analysis was carried out with 335 participants. Finally, a new confirmatory factorial analysis included 130 participants due to the refinements made in the previous phase. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach’s α and McDonald’s ω at every phase. Results The exploratory factor analysis retained 35 items in a single factor that accounted for 49% of the variance with an internal consistency of Cronbach’s α and McDonald’s ω = 0.97. Because the factorial structure by confirmatory factorial analysis was unsatisfactory, the initial model was refined, leading to the retention of 11 items and a final model with adjustment index of χ2 = 127.53, χ2/gl = 2.89, RMSEA = 0.07, IC RMSEA 0.06 to 0.09, TLI = 0.95 and CFI = 0.96, with an internal consistency of Cronbach’s α and McDonald’s ω = 0.93. Due to the refinements, a new confirmatory factorial analysis was conducted with suitable goodness-of-fit criteria in most items (χ2 = 151.44, χ2/gl = 3.43, RMSEA = 0.13, IC RMSEA 0.11 to 0.16, TLI = 0.93 and CFI = 0.94), resulting in a Cronbach’s α and McDonald’s ω = 0.98. Conclusions The instrument exhibits suitable psychometric properties to be employed to measure the degree to which medical care is patient centered. This instrument represents a strategy for promoting an innovative healthcare model.

Abstract

Abstract Background Culicoides midges have been well-studied in Spain, particularly over the last 20 years, mainly because of their role as vectors of arboviral diseases that affect livestock. Most studies on Culicoides are conducted using suction light traps in farmed environments, but studies employing alternative trapping techniques or focusing on natural habitats are scarce. Methods In the present study, we analyze Culicoides captured in 2023 at 476 sites in western Andalusia (southern Spain) using carbon dioxide-baited Biogents (BG)-sentinel traps across different ecosystems. Results We collected 3,084 Culicoides midges (3060 females and 24 males) belonging to 23 species, including the new species Culicoides grandifovea sp. nov. and the first record of Culicoides pseudolangeroni for Europe. Both species were described with morphological and molecular methods and detailed data on spatial distribution was also recorded. The new species showed close phylogenetic relations with sequences from an unidentified Culicoides from Morocco (92.6% similarity) and with Culicoides kurensis. Culicoides imicola was the most abundant species (17.4%), followed by Culicoides grandifovea sp. nov. (14.6%) and Culicoides kurensis (11.9%). Interestingly, Culicoides montanus was the only species of the obsoletus and pulicaris species complexes captured, representing the first record of this species in southern Spain. A total of 53 valid Culicoides species have been reported in the area, with 48 already reported in literature records and 5 more added in the present study. Information on the flight period for the most common Culicoides species is also provided. Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, our study represents the most comprehensive effort ever done on nonfarmland habitats using carbon-dioxide baited suction traps for collecting Culicoides. Our data suggests that using carbon dioxide traps offers a completely different perspective on Culicoides communities compared with routinely used light traps, including the discovery of previously unrecorded species.

Abstract

Abstract Background Aedes albopictus is catalogued as one of the 100 most dangerous species worldwide. Native to Asia, the species has drastically increased its distribution range, reaching all continents except Antarctica. The presence of Ae. albopictus in Spain was first reported in 2004 in Cataluña (NE Spain), and it is spreading in the country. Methods We conducted an extensive mosquito monitoring study in the natural protected area of the Doñana National Park (SW Spain) in 2023. After identifying the presence of Ae. albopictus, a mosquito control strategy was developed and implemented to eradicate the species in the area. Results Overall, 12,652 mosquito females of 14 different species were captured at nine sites within the park. For the first time, the presence of Ae. albopictus was recorded in the area, despite intensive trapping performed at some localities since 2003. The presence of this invasive species in the park is most likely linked to human activities, potentially facilitated by daily car trips of personnel. Although larvae of Culex, Anopheles, and Culiseta mosquitoes were identified in these containers, the presence of Ae. albopictus larvae was not recorded in those locations. In spite of that, the biological larvicide Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) was applied to artificial containers potentially used by Ae. albopictus as breeding sites. Conclusions This work evidences the high capacity of Ae. albopictus to reach highly conserved natural areas far from urban foci. We discuss the implications of the presence of Ae. albopictus in this endangered ecosystem and the potential control measures necessary to prevent its reintroduction. Graphical Abstract

Abstract

Sub-Antarctic islands are expected to show a high degree of endemicity due to their remoteness. However, biogeographic affinities in the sub-Antarctic remain poorly understood, especially in the marine realm. Sub-Antarctic islands being at the crossroads between Antarctic and cold temperate regions, biodiversity characterization and biogeographic analyses are a priority for monitoring and rapidly assessing variations associated with environmental changes. One underexplored sub-Antarctic area is Crozet, a protected archipelago located halfway between Antarctica and South Africa. In this study, we investigated the shallow-water Crozet macrofaunal diversity, distribution patterns and biogeographic affinities based on the examination of fieldwork specimens via a thorough morphological identification and a genetic characterisation. The resulting dataset provides an important baseline for further studies and conservation strategies, compiling the first genetic and taxonomic database for the Crozet archipelago. In total, 100 morphotypes were found, belonging to nine different phyla, among which arthropods (32), molluscs (18) and echinoderms (17) were the richest. Forty-seven morphotypes were identified to the species level, among which 20 were reported in Crozet for the first time. This confirms that Crozet is a poorly known region, even compared to other sub-Antarctic areas. A large proportion of species (62%) had circum Southern Ocean or circum sub-Antarctic distributions. These species were mostly shared with Kerguelen (72%), the Magellan Province (64%), and Prince Edward Islands (64%), confirming the patterns found in macroalgae and specific macrofaunal groups. However, this large-distribution statement needs to be counterbalanced by the detection (genetic data) of more restricted distributions than expected in four study cases (the tanaid Apseudes spectabilis, the nudibranch Doris kerguelenensis, the polychaete Neanthes kerguelensis and the chiton Hemiarthrum setulosum). Considering that most morphotypes had no genetic data available from other regions, the proportion of morphotypes with restricted distribution is likely to increase alongside future investigations. In addition, we also found a few cases of unrecognized diversity that might lead to the descriptions of new species, some likely to be endemic to Crozet (e.g., within the polychaete genus Harmothoe and the bryozoan genus Antarctothoa). Altogether, this stresses the need to maintain conservation efforts in Crozet and pursue integrative investigations in order to highlight and protect its unusual diversity.

Abstract

ABSTRACTWest Nile virus (WNV) is the most widely distributed mosquito-borne flavivirus in the world. This flavivirus can infect humans causing in some cases a fatal neurological disease and birds are the main reservoir hosts. WNV is endemic in Spain, and human cases have been reported since 2004. Although different studies analyse how climatic conditions can affect the dynamics of WNV infection, very few use long-term datasets. Between 2003 and 2020 a total of 2,724 serum samples from 1,707 common coots (Fulica atra) were analysed for the presence of WNV-specific antibodies. Mean (SD) annual seroprevalence was 24.67% (0.28) but showed high year-to-year variations ranging from 5.06% (0.17) to 68.89% (0.29). Significant positive correlations (p

Abstract

Malaria remains one of the most important infectious diseases globally due to its high incidence and mortality rates. The influx of infected cases from endemic to non-endemic malaria regions like Europe has resulted in a public health concern over sporadic local outbreaks. This is facilitated by the continued presence of competent Anopheles vectors in non-endemic countries.We modelled the potential distribution of the main malaria vector across Spain using the ensemble of eight modelling techniques based on environmental parameters and the Anopheles maculipennis s.l. presence/absence data collected from 2000 to 2020. We then combined this map with the number of imported malaria cases in each municipality to detect the geographic hot spots with a higher risk of local malaria transmission.The malaria vector occurred preferentially in irrigated lands characterized by warm climate conditions and moderate annual precipitation. Some areas surrounding irrigated lands in northern Spain (e.g. Zaragoza, Logroño), mainland areas (e.g. Madrid, Toledo) and in the South (e.g. Huelva), presented a significant likelihood of A. maculipennis s.l. occurrence, with a large overlap with the presence of imported cases of malaria.While the risk of malaria re-emergence in Spain is low, it is not evenly distributed throughout the country. The four recorded local cases of mosquito-borne transmission occurred in areas with a high overlap of imported cases and mosquito presence. Integrating mosquito distribution with human incidence cases provides an effective tool for the quantification of large-scale geographic variation in transmission risk and pinpointing priority areas for targeted surveillance and prevention.

Abstract

Islands support unique plants, animals, and human societies found nowhere else on the Earth. Local and global stressors threaten the persistence of island ecosystems, with invasive species being among the most damaging, yet solvable, stressors. While the threat of invasive terrestrial mammals on island flora and fauna is well recognized, recent studies have begun to illustrate their extended and destructive impacts on adjacent marine environments. Eradication of invasive mammals and restoration of native biota are promising tools to address both island and ocean management goals. The magnitude of the marine benefits of island restoration, however, is unlikely to be consistent across the globe. We propose a list of six environmental characteristics most likely to affect the strength of land-sea linkages: precipitation, elevation, vegetation cover, soil hydrology, oceanographic productivity, and wave energy. Global databases allow for the calculation of comparable metrics describing each environmental character across islands. Such metrics can be used today to evaluate relative potential for coupled land-sea conservation efforts and, with sustained investment in monitoring on land and sea, can be used in the future to refine science-based planning tools for integrated land-sea management. As conservation practitioners work to address the effects of climate change, ocean stressors, and biodiversity crises, it is essential that we maximize returns from our management investments. Linking efforts on land, including eradication of island invasive mammals, with marine restoration and protection should offer multiplied benefits to achieve concurrent global conservation goals.

25. Nutrient Intake and Adequacy in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: EPINED Epidemiological Study

Author

Arija, Victoria, Esteban-Figuerola, Patricia, Morales-Hidalgo, Paula, Jardí, Cristina, and Canals-Sans, Josefa

Abstract

This article assesses nutritional intake and adequacy in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), subdiagnostic autistic symptoms and children with typical development (TD). In total, 77 children diagnosed with ASD, 40 with subdiagnostic autistic symptoms and 333 children with TD were assessed. A validated food frequency questionnaire was used. Very few nutritional differences were found between ASD and TD groups. Preschool children with ASD and subdiagnostic autistic symptoms had slightly lower intake of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), vitamin D and vitamin B12, and primary school children with ASD and subdiagnostic autistic symptoms had slightly higher intake of protein, cholesterol, thiamine and niacin, and a higher percentage of obesity than children with TD. All samples had an unbalanced energy intake (high in added sugars, fats and saturated fatty acids (SFAs); extremely inadequate intake (80%--100%) of vitamins D and E; high intake (50%-80%) of fibre, b-carotene (except preschool children with TD), calcium (except preschool children) and magnesium). The fact that differences between diagnoses are scarce may be related to the low level of ASD severity in this school sample.

Abstract

After mosquitoes, ticks are among the most important vector of pathogens of concern for animal and public health, but unless mosquitoes ticks remain attached to their hosts for long time periods providing an opportunity to analyse their role in the dispersal and dynamics of different zoonotic pathogens. Given their interest in public health it is important to understand which factors affect their incidence in different hosts and to stablish effective surveillance programs to determine the risk of transmission and spill-over of zoonotic pathogens. Taking benefit of a large network of volunteer ornithologists, we analysed the life-history traits associated to the presence of ticks using information of 620,609 individuals of 231 avian species. Bird phylogeny, locality and year explained a large amount of variance in tick prevalence. Non-colonial species non breeding in grasslands and non-spending the non-breeding season as gregarious groups or isolated individuals (e.g. thrushes, quails and finches) had the higher prevalence of ticks and appear as good candidates for zoonosis surveillance programs based on the analyses of ticks collected from wild birds. Ringers underestimated tick prevalence but can be considered as an important source of information of ticks for public and animal health surveillance programs if properly trained for the detection and collection of the different tick development phases.

Abstract

Esta revisión sistemática examina la satisfacción laboral entre el personal que trabaja en centros de acogimiento infantojuvenil, con el objetivo de comprender los factores que influyen en su bienestar y su impacto en la calidad del cuidado proporcionado a las personas acogidas. Para ello se ha realizado una búsqueda exhaustiva en bases de datos de estudios europeos sobre la temática publicados desde 2016 a 2023. El estudio incluye un total de 21 artículos que cumplen con los criterios de inclusión. Los resultados muestran que la satisfacción laboral en los centros de acogimiento infantojuvenil es un aspecto multidimensional y complejo. Por un lado, se han hallado evidencias basadas en los déficits como el estrés laboral, la despersonalización, la falta de apoyo institucional, el estrés traumático secundario o la fatiga por compasión; que pueden suponer factores de riesgo ante la aparición de malestar laboral. Por otro lado, la existencia de recursos en forma de protección como los autocuidados, el sentido de la coherencia, la supervisión de equipo y la promoción del logro; que potencian el bienestar laboral. Se concluye que la satisfacción laboral en los centros de acogimiento infantojuvenil tiene un impacto directo en el bienestar de la plantilla y en el desarrollo y bienestar emocional de las personas bajo su cuidado. Por lo tanto, se recomienda a las instituciones implementar estrategias de apoyo y capacitación para el personal, con el fin de fomentar un ambiente laboral positivo y fortalecer la calidad de la atención brindada a niños, niñas y jóvenes.

37. Teaching Motivation, Learning Approaches, and Academic Success among Prospective Teachers in Catalonia (Spain)

Author

Camarero-Figuerola, Marta, Renta-Davids, Ana Inés, Tierno-García, Juana-María, and Gilabert-Medina, Sandra

Abstract

Recent approaches to initial teacher education programmes consider non-academic qualities when selecting prospective teachers. The motivation to become a teacher is crucial in the admission to, progression in, and graduation from initial teacher education programmes. Previous research has highlighted the association between motivational factors and educational outcomes but not the underlying mechanisms. This study aimed to identify how the motivation to enter the teaching profession influenced prospective teachers' approaches to learning and their academic outcomes. We used the Factors Influencing Teaching-Choice, and Revised Approaches to Study Inventory scales with a sample of 217 first-year prospective teachers enrolled in initial teacher education programmes at a Catalan university (Spain). The findings indicated that social utility values, intrinsic career values, and social antecedent components were linked to deep and strategic approaches to learning, leading to a positive impact on prospective teachers' academic success. Moreover, social antecedent components were linked to a surface approach to learning and negatively impacted prospective teachers' academic outcomes. These results suggested that approaches to learning could be a pathway by which motivation to become a teacher affects academic outcomes. Practical implications are discussed in terms of pedagogical strategies that may help improve prospective teachers' learning.

38. The Relationship between Family Involvement and Academic Variables: A Systematic Review

Author

Camarero-Figuerola, Marta, Dueñas, Jorge-Manuel, and Renta-Davids, Ana-Inés

Abstract

Family involvement refers to the different activities and actions that families can do to provide support to their offspring in education. In recent years, studies that evaluate the influence of family involvement on education have increased. Therefore, a review of the literature was carried out to examine the scientific evidence on this subject. Specifically, the review focused on adolescence because this is a possibly conflictive time in schooling, in which family-adolescent relationships usually go through large changes. The study results suggest that family participation is a variable that protects against academic failure. This relationship is stronger in vulnerable populations and ethnic minorities.

Abstract

The issue of pensions has become increasingly topical. This paper presents the ordered weighted averaging real average pension (OWARAP) operator. The OWARAP operator is based on the ordered weighted averaging (OWA) operator and calculates the future average retirement benefit taking into account price changes. Moreover, this work extends the OWARAP operator by using order-inducing variables, generalized means, and probabilities. This paper ends by analyzing the applicability of the OWARAP operator and its extensions in forecasting the real average Social Security benefits for retired workers in each state of the United States (U.S.). The results demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed approach in retirement decision making. First published online 30 April 2024

Abstract

Introduction: The most common form of hereditary amyloidosis is associated with variants of transthyretin (TTR). Familial amyloidosis polyneuropathy associated with variants of TTR (FAP-TTR) is an infrequent, multisystemic disease, with predominant involvement of the peripheral nervous system. More than 130 pathogenic variants have been identified so far and most of them are amyloidogenic, being Val30Met the most frequently described. Case report: A 74 year-old male was evaluated for progressive decreased sensitivity and associated loss of strength in four limbs in the previous two years, needing assistance for walking. Areflexia, bilateral tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius atrophy, bilateral anesthesia and apalesthesia were found in lower limbs. Bilateral hypoesthesia was reported in upper limbs. No painful dysesthesia, hyperalgesia or allodynia were found. DNA sequencing of the TTR gene led to the detection of the variant c.186G>C in heterozygous state. The resulting variant (Glu62Asp), located in the critical functional domain, has not been published before. Conclusion: The importance of considering late onset, sporadic FAP-TTR as a differential diagnosis of cryptogenic polyneuropathy is highlighted.

Abstract

Summary: Avian malaria parasites provide an important model for studying host-pathogen interactions, yet understanding their dynamics in vectors under natural conditions is limited. We investigated the effect of vector abundance, species richness and diversity, and habitat characteristics on avian Plasmodium prevalence and lineage richness in Culex pipiens across 45 urban, natural, and rural localities in southern Spain. Analyzing 16,574 mosquitoes grouped in 768 mosquito pools, 32.7% exhibited parasite presence. 13 different Plasmodium lineages were identified, with the lineage SYAT05 being the most commonly found. Parasite prevalence positively correlated with the distance to saltmarshes and rivers, but negatively with the distance to total water source. Parasite lineage diversity was higher in natural than in rural areas and positively correlated with mosquito species richness. These results emphasize the complex dynamics of avian Plasmodium in the wild, with habitat characteristics and vector community driving the parasite transmission by mosquito vectors.

Abstract

Abstract Vascular endothelial function is challenged during cerebral ischemia and reperfusion. The endothelial responses are involved in inflammatory leukocyte attraction, adhesion and infiltration, blood–brain barrier leakage, and angiogenesis. This study investigated gene expression changes in brain endothelial cells after acute ischemic stroke using transcriptomics and translatomics. We isolated brain endothelial mRNA by: (i) translating ribosome affinity purification, enabling immunoprecipitation of brain endothelial ribosome-attached mRNA for translatome sequencing and (ii) isolating CD31+ endothelial cells by fluorescence-activating cell sorting for classical transcriptomic analysis. Both techniques revealed similar pathways regulated by ischemia but they showed specific differences in some transcripts derived from non-endothelial cells. We defined a gene set characterizing the endothelial response to acute stroke (24h) by selecting the differentially expressed genes common to both techniques, thus corresponding with the translatome and minimizing non-endothelial mRNA contamination. Enriched pathways were related to inflammation and immunoregulation, angiogenesis, extracellular matrix, oxidative stress, and lipid trafficking and storage. We validated, by flow cytometry and immunofluorescence, the protein expression of several genes encoding cell surface proteins. The inflammatory response was associated with the endothelial upregulation of genes related to lipid storage functions and we identified lipid droplet biogenesis in the endothelial cells after ischemia. The study reports a robust translatomic signature of brain endothelial cells after acute stroke and identifies enrichment in novel pathways involved in membrane signaling and lipid storage. Altogether these results highlight the endothelial contribution to the inflammatory response, and identify novel molecules that could be targets to improve vascular function after ischemic stroke.
