– La UGR y Sevillana Endesa inauguran la iluminación monumental artística de la fachada de La Madraza

El rector de la Universidad de Granada (UGR) Francisco González Lodeiro, y el director de la Fundación Sevillana Endesa, Jesús García Toledo, inauguran hoy, a las 21.45 horas, la iluminación artística exterior del Palacio de La Madraza.

Al acto también asistirán el vicerrector de Extensión Universitaria y Cooperación al Desarrollo, Miguel Gómez Oliver, la vicerrectora de Infraestructuras y Campus, Begoña Moreno Escobar, y el director de Sevillana Endesa en Granada, José Luis Pérez Mañas.

Para esta iluminación, se han instalado 35 puntos de luz, que suponen una potencia total demandada de 1,7 kilovatios. El proyecto de iluminación se ha realizado sin prescindir de ninguna de las técnicas de iluminación más eficientes tendentes al ahorro de energía mediante la optimización de eficiencia de las lámparas. Como consecuencia de ello, la iluminación de la fachada de La Madraza supone un coste de 0,16 euros/hora, informó Sevillana Endesa.

Este tipo de actuaciones se enmarcan dentro de los objetivos de la Fundación Sevillana Endesa para conservar y embellecer el conjunto histórico-artístico-monumental de Andalucía y Extremadura y promover manifestaciones culturales, especialmente aquellas que tienen un mayor arraigo social.

El Palacio de La Madraza fue edificado en el año 1349 para albergar la antigua Universidad islámica, que llegó a ser una de las más destacables del mundo islámico.

Desde 1500 hasta 1851 se destinó a Casa de Cabildos de Granada, época durante la que se construyó la Sala de los Caballeros Veinticuatro, en honor a los 24 concejales que presidían la ciudad.

En la actualidad acoge los Servicios de Extensión Universitaria y de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes Nuestra Señora de Las Angustias, volviendo así a su vinculación con el ámbito pedagógico de sus inicios.

Su exterior es barroco tardío, construido con piedra pintada a mano procedente de la Sierra Elvira, en el que destacan los balcones rematados con estípites y las cornisas con motivos vegetales.

INFORME TÉCNICO.

La iluminación monumental de la fachada se ha realizado combinando el efecto de una iluminación general uniforme mediante proyectores desde el exterior con el efecto de una iluminación de realce de balcones y su ornamentación desde el interior de éstos.

Las zonas de menor altura de la fachada y parte inferiores de balcones se iluminan mediante catorce proyectores empotrados en el suelo con lámpara mastercolor de 70 vatios, de color blanco cálido y óptica asimétrica.

Para matizar las sombras que provoca esta iluminación rasante y uniformizar el resultado final se emplean siete pequeños proyectores, cónicos, con lámpara mastercolor de 35 vatios ocultos entre la crestería de la cubierta de la Capilla Real.

Finalmente, se realzan los balcones y su ornato mediante luminarias con lámparas fluorescentes de alto rendimiento y de excelentes características cromáticas. Estas luminarias instaladas en el suelo de los balcones ocultan la fuente de luz dejando apreciar sólo su efecto de cortina de luz que produce un bañado suave.

En el diseño de la iluminación se ha tenido en cuenta conseguir un importante grado de confort visual. Para ello se han instalado proyectores empotrados de óptica asimétrica –el haz de luz está orientado sólo al edificio– y a los proyectores del nivel alto se le han dotado de rejilla de lamas para limitar el deslumbramiento hacia las personas que transiten por la zona, evitando además la iluminación residual hacia los edificios y controlando la contaminación lumínica del cielo nocturno.

Post-menopausal therapy to improve women’s quality of life

– Post-menopausal therapy to improve women’s quality of life

A recent research work by the University of Granada advises post-menopausal women the use of Replacement Hormone Therapy (RHT) for at least five years.

The study reveals that the fears associated with the RHT are product of disinformation and are often against clinical evidences. Some of those concerns are fear of collateral effects such as weight gain, breast cancer or the risk of a thromboembolic disease.

The passing of time makes ovaries lose their ability to produce estrogens and progesterone, the hormones which regulate the menstrual cycle. In this stage, when menstruation cesses, there appear physical and psychical changes such as hot flushes, sweating, vaginal dryness, articulation and bone pain, headaches, insomnia, sadness, depression and loss of memory, known as climateric symptoms. In Spain, the average age for the cessation of the menstrual cycle is 50 years old. In the Western countries, about 17% of the population belongs to the post-menstrual group.

Against the discomfort derived from the cessation of menstruation, there are medical treatments which contribute to maintain the quality of life of women in the face of the described changes. One of the treatments proposed is the so-called Replacement Hormone Therapy (RHT).

Fears about this therapy have been erroneously exaggerated, attributing to it secondary effects such as weight gain, breast cancer and risk of a thromboembolic disease.

A study carried out at the University of Granada on more than 500 postmenopausal patients rationalizes the fears above mentioned; and it concludes recommending the use of the hormone therapy, if necessary, for at least five years, under periodic medical controls.

The study

The research work has been read as a doctoral thesis by Dr Otilia Ruth González Vanegas, under the supervision of Dr José Luis Cuadros López and Dr Rosa María Sabatel López (Department of Medicine of the UGR, San Cecilio University Hospital) and Dr Ángela María Cuadros Celorrio (Hospital of Úbeda).

The work, entitled “Five-year later assessment of the use of different models of Replacement Hormone Therapy (RHT) during post-menopause”, started from the question: “¿how long must RHT be used considering the beneficial and adverse effects?”. They studied the clinical histories of 534 women who, between 1989 and 2004, have attended periodically medical, laboratory and mammography tests at the Menopause Unit of the San Cecilio teaching Hospital of Granada.
González Vanegas’ study also concludes that the discomfort derived from menopause falls in the first six months of application of any of the RHT, with the consequent improvement in women’s quality of life.

The observations allow to conclude that, regardless the type of hormone therapy followed, the symptomatology improves, there are no weight changes, the lipid profile improves (cholesterol, triglycerides); bone quality gets better and breast cancer is less frequent than in general population, especially in the group which only received estrogens.

The results of this research work have been published in journals such as Climateric or Menopausia.

New geomorphological index created for studying the active tectonics of mountains

– New geomorphological index created for studying the active tectonics of mountains

To build a hospital, nuclear power station or a large dam you need to know the possible earthquake risks of the terrain.

Now, researchers from the Universities of Granada and Jaen, alongside scientists from the University of California (Santa Barbara, USA), have developed, based on relief data from the southern edge of the Sierra Nevada, a geomorphological index that analyses land form in relation to active tectonics, applicable to any mountain chain on the planet.

Active tectonics comprise the most up-to-date deformation processes that affect the Earths crust, resulting in earthquakes or recent deformations in the planet’s faults and folds. This phenomena is analysed in geology research carried out before commencing engineering works.

Depending on the type of project (nuclear power stations or power stations, radioactive storage, natural gas or CO2, large dams and tunnels, hydroelectricity projects…) and the type of earthquake (single or multiple), the time period for evaluating active tectonics varies between 10,000 and 100,000 years for studies prior to beginning construction work.

The study, which is now published in the magazine Geomorphology and is the result of the doctoral thesis of Rachid El Hamdouni, Professor of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Granada, defines a new geomorphological index called Relative Active Tectonics Index, which identifies four classes of active tectonics (from low to very high) and uses six geomorphological indicators.

“The main use of this new index is that it establishes a close relationship between this, the land forms, and direct evidence of active faults”, El Hamdouni explained to SINC.

According to José Chacón Montero, Director of the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Granada and co-author of this research, in Sierra Nevada “areas with ‘high’ and ‘very high’ tectonic activity are areas with precipices, hanging valleys, deformed or hanging alluvial fans or deep and narrow gorges excavated near mountain fronts”.

A seismic map for southern Spain

The indices are calculated with the help of Geographical Information Systems and teledetection programs in large areas which identify geomorphological anomalies possibly related to active tectonics. “This is really useful in southern Spain where studies on active tectonics are not very widely distributed”, Chacón pointed out to SINC.

The study has focused on the Padul-Dúrcal fault and a series of associated fault structures on the edge of the Sierra Nevada, where over the last 30 years seismic activity has been recorded by the Observatory of the Andalusian Institute of Geophysics and Prevention of Seismic Disasters. Chacón explained that the map obtained with the new index depends exclusively on the land forms and divides the area studied into four parts, “of which two thirds of the total area is classed as having high or very high tectonic activity”.

The Sierra Nevada is an Alpine mountain chain “with variable active tectonic gradients caused by the collision of Africa with Europe which has given rise to anticlines aligned from east to west, as well as the transverse extension with variable vertical gradients around 0.5 mm/year in normal faults”, Chacón specified.

– Study proves that children suffering from cancer, and their families, undergo social isolation

How does the suffering caused by childhood cancer develop? What feelings and worries arise? What are the patients’ needs and the experiences they live? And how does the disease affect the lives of both the children and their families? These are some of the issues analyzed by Pilar González Carrión, researcher from the Department of Social Anthropology of the University of Granada, in her doctoral thesis.

This study, led by Arturo Álvarez Roldán, aspired to understand the implications of cancer for children diagnosed with the disease as well as their families, their experiences and worries, their relationship with the health system and their care needs during the disease treatment.

In order to carry out this study, the author interviewed 14 children staying at the Hospital Universitario Virgen Nieves or the Hospital Universitario San Cecilio de Granada and 22 mothers between June 2003 and October 2005, as well as their families during the three years previous to the study. This work combined participatory observation together with individual and group interviews with children and mothers in 14 clinic interviews.

Strong emotional impact

According to the results of her work, the researcher states that cancer diagnosis “causes a strong emotional impact” on the child, with negative feelings of uncertainty, fault, powerlessness and significant confusion”. From that moment on, the child, mother and, partly, the rest of the family life “revolve around the disease and treatment.”

The most traumatic experiences are connected with the procedures, the treatment side effects and the isolation imposed by neutropenia, affecting the children not only physically and psychologically but also at a social and a school level.
In the work, carried out by the University of Granada, there appears a significant quantity of needs and improvement proposals, notably that of adapting the sanitary resources to the children and mothers’ specific needs and providing real, comprehensive attention to these patients. Nevertheless, the care received is well appreciated by those affected, who value the professional support.

Since the diagnosis of the disease, mothers express a change in their life values, “giving more importance to the day by day, to each moment, to the emotional aspects, and not to future or material things,” explains González Carrión.

The stigma goes on

“The data about successful treatments has not had a profound effect,” says the researcher, “as the diagnosis is still related to the idea of a death threat. The metaphors used when talking about cancer aroused suffering, which contributes to the perpetuation of the disease’s negative aspects. The stigma surrounding the disease, together with the delicate state of health in certain periods produces social isolation in the child and the family.”

The information obtained through the surveys of the doctoral thesis is of great interest for getting to know situations experienced by those affected, which means the possibility of naturally providing a more suitable assistance, adapted to their situation. The results of this research have been published in the magazine “NURE Investigation”.

– La UGR descarta la llegada de nuevas carreras hasta 2010

El campus granadino no se halla entre las 33 universidades españolas que han solicitado al Ministerio el estreno de titulaciones de cara al próximo curso.

Los campus españoles atraviesen actualmente un periodo de importantes cambios en su estructura como consecuencia del necesario proceso de adaptación al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior (EESS), el nuevo modelo de gestión y planes de estudio que estará plenamente implantado en las universidades nacionales a partir de 2010. La Universidad de Granada (UGR), sin embargo, considera que las prisas son malas consejeras y, por ello, ha decidido no variar su oferta académica de cara al próximo curso con nuevas carreras, algo que si llevarán a cabo otras 33 universidades españolas. Los primeros planes de estudio adaptados al EESS en la UGR no llegarán, por tanto, hasta el curso 2009-2010.

Los responsables de la institución granadina han optado por la prudencia pese a que las universidades que así lo deseasen ya podían presentar desde este año sus propuestas de nuevas titulaciones adaptadas al EESS, unas carreras que ya se podrán cursar a partir de octubre.

Este es el camino que han elegido 33 campus españoles, tanto públicos como privados, que hace meses presentaron sus propuestas de titulaciones a la Agencia Nacional de Evaluación de la Calidad y Acreditaciones (Aneca), un órgano dependiente del Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia (MEC). Aneca ha dado finalmente el visto bueno a 140 propuestas de titulaciones y ha rechazado 60.

Entre los centros solicitantes que estrenarán titulaciones tras el verano se hallan las universidad de Navarra, Salamanca, Pontificia de Comillas, Santiago de Compostela, Autónoma de Barcelona, Carlos III o Alfonso X. La UGR planteó hace meses ofertar sus primeros títulos europeos en octubre, pero, al igual que el resto de campus públicos andaluces, ha preferido esperar un año más. Fuentes universitarias explicaron al respecto que la institución “no tiene la necesidad de afrontar este proceso de forma urgente, ya que hay tiempo hasta 2010”.

– Científicos de Granada y Sevilla buscan el color del aceite de oliva preferido por los asiáticos para abrir este mercado al oro verde

Un grupo interdisciplinar de científicos trabaja en un nuevo método oficial para medir el color de los aceites de oliva vírgenes con el objetivo de mejorar la calidad de este producto y contribuir a su introducción en los mercados asiáticos.

Este grupo, formado por investigadores del Departamento de Óptica de la Facultad de Ciencias de Granada, del Instituto de la Grasa (CSIC) de Sevilla y del área de Nutrición y Bromatología de la Facultad de Farmacia de la Hispalense, hará una revisión del método actual vigente en España, el ABT (Método Azul Bromotimol compuesto por 60 disoluciones que se utilizan como patrones de comparación) y el estudio de los parámetros cromáticos del aceite de oliva virgen.

Precisamente, en 2002 este equipo investigador ya demostró la escasa fiabilidad del referido método, por lo que este nuevo proyecto supone un paso más para establecer un nuevo marco de estándares, ha informado hoy la Junta en un comunicado.

El responsable del proyecto, Manuel Melgosa, ha explicado que han iniciado acuerdos de colaboración con tres grupos de investigación líderes de Japón, Hong Kong y Tailandia para conocer de primera mano las preferencias de color de aceite de oliva entre la población de estos tres países asiáticos.

Para incrementar la comercialización del aceite de oliva virgen en el continente asiático, este estudio, denominado Mejora de la calidad y comercialización del aceite de oliva virgen de Andalucía mediante el estudio de sus parámetros cromático y al que la Consejería de Innovación, Ciencia y Empresa ha incentivado con 139.536 euros, ofrecerá a los fabricantes y exportadores información precisa sobre qué colores de aceites de oliva pueden ser más atractivos para los consumidores orientales.

Tal y como señala el investigador de la UGR, el interés por medir el color responde a un requerimiento técnico, al tratarse de caracterizar bien el producto, puesto que no se puede olvidar que el sector oleícola mueve un importantísimo volumen de dinero sólo en Andalucía.

Otro de los objetivos que persigue este proyecto es facilitar que el color sea un parámetro recogido en los envases de aceite de oliva, como una característica relevante y distintiva de su calidad, tanto en las denominaciones de origen como en los principales fabricantes.

– El Rector de la UGR informa mañana a los estudiantes del Plan Bolonia tras reunirse con los encerrados en Trabajo

El rector de la Universidad de Granada (UGR), Francisco González Lodeiro, informará mañana en la Facultad de Ciencias a los estudiantes sobre el Espacio Europeo de Educación (EEES), tras reunirse hoy con un grupo de jóvenes que se mantienen encerrados en protesta por el también conocido como Plan Bolonia en la Facultad de Ciencias del Trabajo desde la pasada semana.

Así lo comunicó hoy durante la celebración del Consejo Rector de la institución académica, donde informó además de la denuncia interpuesta el pasado 30 de abril ante el Ministerio Fiscal sobre los hechos ocurridos en la Facultas de Ciencias Políticas y sociología –donde se produjeron numerosos destrozos tras otro encierro– así como de la ampliación de la misma, el 12 de mayo.

También señaló que la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociología presentó por su parte otra denuncia sobre los sucesos, informó la UGR en un comunicado.

En su informe expuso también cuestiones tales como los últimos acuerdos adoptados por las universidades andaluzas en relación con la adaptación de los Planes de Estudio al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior y la futura creación de la Unidad de Igualdad entre hombres y mujeres.

Se informó además sobre la convocatoria de los Premios de Excelencia Docente para el 2008, cuya finalidad principal reside en promover la excelencia en la docencia universitaria, así como en estimular la implantación de una cultura de calidad en los procesos de formación de la Educación Superior, reconociendo el trabajo de los profesores de la Universidad de Granada que hayan destacado por su dedicación a las tareas y actividades docentes, de forma continuada, a lo largo de su trayectoria profesional.

Igualmente, presentó la futura Unidad de Igualdad. Su misión será el diagnóstico de las posibles desigualdades de género que puedan existir en la comunidad universitaria, creando a tal fin un Observatorio que elabore las propuestas de mejora y la ampliación de los estudios de género.

El Consejo de Gobierno dio luz verde a la Casa del Estudiante, un lugar de encuentro en el que los universitarios podrán desarrollar actividades de interés como complemento a su formación universitaria, y que queda ubicada en el hoy Centro Cultural Casa de Porras.

Se regula su uso con el fin de desarrollar las inquietudes que surgen de los estudiantes y otros miembros de la comunidad universitaria, permitiendo la realización de actividades culturales, la creación de un servicio de ciber gratuito, así como la difusión de información académica y de los diversos colectivos de la Universidad.
