Daily marijuana intake leads to psychosis, schizophrenia
Daily marijuana intake leads to psychosis, schizophrenia
People who consume cannabis on daily basis are likely to show episodes of psychosis and schizophrenia, according to a doctoral thesis.
Miguel Ruiz Veguilla, from the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Granada in Spain, also claimed that the episodes of psychosis because of marijuana intake present certain specific characteristics, both before their appearance and in the clinical presentation of the psychosis.
During the study, Veguilla studied the risk factors associated with schizophrenia, identifying and characterizing in depth those psychosis associated with a continual consumption of cannabis.
The researcher carried out the study with 92 subjects, 50 of whom had developed a psychosis without presenting signs of an “abnormal neurodevelopment”-meaning that they had been doing well academically, they had a group of friends (no social isolation), and they presented a good motor coordination.
Also, the subjects did not show a family history of episodes of psychosis in first or second degree.
The researchers identified a connection between cannabis consumption and psychosis in subjects with a good premorbid performance.
They did not find any signs of minor neurological alterations, which, according to Veguilla, might point out “a psychopathological way associated with psychosis in subjects with less predisposition.”
The researchers said that 66 percent of the patients with psychosis, who participated in the study and had a normal neurodevelopment, admitted to have consumed cannabis daily or almost every day.
On the other hand, 43 percent of the participants with markers of an abnormal neurodevelopment-those already indicated: bad previous social and academic behaviour, a family history and a “clumsier” attitude when they carry out tasks of motor coordination and complex motor acts-were drug users too.
The results of the thesis, titled ‘Neurodevelopment and environmental stress in initial psychosis: transversal analysis of the ESPIGAS study’, have been published in the journals Schizophrenia Research and European Psychiatry.

El rector de la UPO ofrecerá la conferencia inaugural, a las 9.15 horas, titulada Investigar es futuro. Las jornadas de orientación profesional, cuyo objetivo es reflexionar sobre el futuro de los licenciados en Biotecnología de la UPO, se celebrarán los días 26 y 27 de marzo.
La jornada de hoy se centrará en la carrera investigadora. Se pretende dar así una visión general sobre el estado de la carrera investigadora en España, analizando, en varios debates, sus deficiencias y posibles soluciones. El CSIC, referente de la investigación realizada en España, ha sido invitado para presentar su oferta formativa y líneas de trabajo.
La jornada del viernes 27, tiene como título Másteres y cursos de postgrado, aunque también incluirá ponencias y una mesa redonda sobre otros temas de interés. En primer lugar se planteará el nuevo modelo de educación superior a través de una conferencia, y seguidamente se presentarán varios programas de postgrado, contando con la visita de los departamentos de postgrado de varias universidades andaluzas, incluida la UPO, así como de la Escuela Internacional de Negocios Aliter. A continuación, el director del Centro Nacional de Biotecnología, José María Valpuesta, describirá las áreas de trabajo y becas de formación de este centro del CSIC.

La UGR albergará el primer laboratorio de investigación europeo que estudiará las conductas de riesgo al conducir ciclomotores
La UGR albergará el primer laboratorio de investigación europeo que estudiará las conductas de riesgo al conducir ciclomotores
La Universidad de Granada albergará el primer centro de investigación de Europa donde se estudiarán los mecanismos mentales por los que los adolescentes ejecutan conductas de riesgo al conducir motocicletas, lo que podría servir, en un futuro no muy lejano, para modificarlas y poder evitarlas.
La Facultad de Psicología acogerá tres simuladores de última generación hasta la fecha ya había uno en la UGR- que servirán para investigar estos mecanismos, gracias a un convenio firmado con la compañía Honda Motor Co. (Europa), y que convertirán la universidad en uno de los centros más importantes a nivel mundial que trabaje esta materia.
Los nuevos simuladores, dotados de un innovador software desarrollado por Honda, llegarán a la Universidad de Granada en sólo unos días. Con ellos, el grupo de investigación que dirigen los profesores Andrés Catena Martínez, José Juan Cañas Delgado, Antonio Maldonado López y Antonio Cándido Ortiz, del Departamento de Psicología Experimental y Fisiología del Comportamiento, medirán la conducta de riesgo en jóvenes de entre 18 y 25 años.
Los únicos accidentes que no disminuyen
Como explica Leandro Luigi Di Stasi, miembro del grupo de investigación de Ergonomía Cognitiva de la UGR, los accidentes derivados de la conducción de ciclomotores no han disminuido en los últimos años, como ha ocurrido con los del resto de vehículos, según los últimos datos facilitados por el club automovilístico RAAC.
Además, según datos de la Dirección General de Tráfico (DGT) el 50% de los accidentes con víctimas se produce en zonas urbanas; la mitad de ellos se realiza en los cruces, y la mayoría de las víctimas son varones entre 16 y 25 años que conducen motocicletas y ciclomotores, o peatones.
Por este motivo, el nuevo laboratorio de investigación ubicado en la UGR permitirá desarrollar programas de intervención para modificar estas conductas, ya que estos simuladores sirven para determinar el estado emocional del individuo y actuar sobre él, relacionando los sistemas cognitivo y emocional a través del estudio de sus variables.
Los investigadores de la UGR emplearán técnicas de inducción emocional para modificar el estado de ánimo de los conductores (esto es, infundirle de manera artificial un estado de euforia, de tristeza o de cansancio), y después someterle a la conducción para ver cómo reacciona.

Comienza en la Escuela de Traductores el ciclo de conferencias «Traduciendo se entiende la gente»
Comienza en la Escuela de Traductores el ciclo de conferencias «Traduciendo se entiende la gente»
Según explican los directores del ciclo de conferencias, Luis Miguel P. Cañada y Bárbara Azaola, la traducción es una actividad de la edad del hombre, con un pasado tan largo como su porvenir; una actividad circunstancial a su pensamiento y su existencia y un instrumento imprescindible para su desarrollo científico y cultural.
El conocimiento del otro, el conocimiento de sus distintas maneras de pensar, de vivir o de sentir, alcanzado a través de su propia voz pero en nuestra lengua, es un bagaje necesario que nos capacita para afrontar con respeto, mesura y elementos ciertos de juicio la sociedad multicultural que estamos empezando a construir, señalan.
Para ambos traductores, investigadores y docentes de la Escuela, reflexionar en torno a algunas de las obras más perdurables del pensamiento y la creación literaria partiendo de la lectura de su traductor, quien es por definición el mejor lector entre los posibles, es una actividad particularmente estimulante en Toledo, pues significa mantener viva una de sus señas de identidad.
Por estas razones, el centro ha previsto un nuevo ciclo de conferencias a cargo de conocidos traductores. La primera, que tendrá lugar hoy, versará sobre los entendidos y malentendidos y sobre las dificultades culturales que genera la traducción al español de la lengua china. El ponente, traductor literario y profesor en la Universidad de Granada, será Gabriel García-Noblejas.
El 24 de abril intervendrá el traductor e intérprete de árabe Abderrahim Abkari, que explicará bajo el título Pinos o palmeras la problemática de la interpretación judicial en esta lengua.
El 21 de mayo, el traductor literario, escritor y presidente de la Asociación Sección Autónoma de Traductores de Libros de la Asociación Colegial de Escritores, Mario Merlino, desarrollará la ponencia Traducir es cambiar de cuerpo.
El ciclo concluirá el 25 de junio con la intervención del profesor de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid Emilio Tornero, que dictará la conferencia Entendimiento entre culturas: la traducción de textos filosóficos árabes.

Fernando Cardenal, sacerdote de la revolución nicaragüense, presenta su autobiografía en la Universidad de Granada
Fernando Cardenal, sacerdote de la revolución nicaragüense, presenta su autobiografía en la Universidad de Granada
Hoy, a las 19.30, en la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociología, el jesuita nicaragüense Fernando Cardenal hará la presentación de su libro autobiográfico «Junto a mi pueblo, con su Revolución», en un acto patrocinado por el Centro de Iniciativas de Cooperación al Desarrollo (CICODE) y la delegación granadina de la Asociación pro Derechos Humanos de Andalucía.
Fernando Cardenal fue ministro de Educación del Gobierno sandinista de su país entre los años 1984 y 1990. Por su vinculación con el sandinismo y la Teología de la liberación fue expulsado de la Compañía de Jesús, si bien más tarde volvió a ser readmitido.
En 1980 estuvo al frente de la denominada Cruzada por la alfabetización, una campaña por la alfabetización en Nicaragua que logró enseñar las primeras letras a más de medio millón de personas, un tema que siempre ha sido de su interés. Es hermano del también líder sandinista Ernesto Cardenal.
Cardenal fue fundador en 1977 de la Comisión Nicaragüense de Derechos Humanos y, tras el triunfo de la revolución, coordinador nacional de la Cruzada Nacional de Alfabetización (1979-1980), vicecoordinador nacional del Movimiento Nacional de la Juventud Sandinista de Nicaragua (1980-1984) y ministro de Educación (1984-1990). Posteriormente ha sido director nacional de Fe y Alegría de Nicaragua (1999) y coordinador de la Red Centroamericana de Fe y Alegría (2000-2001).
