Un concurso de vídeos acerca el patrimonio a los jóvenes

Escrito por

La Fundación Albaicín ha propuesto a la Concejalía de Juventud y a la Universidad de Granada la posibilidad de aunar esfuerzos para promocionar entre la juventud granadina el conocimiento patrimonial de nuestra ciudad a través del concurso de producción de vídeos, Mi ciudad nuestro patrimonio, promovido por la OCPM (Organización de Ciudades Patrimonio Mundial), organización internacional de la que el municipio de Granada es miembro.

El objetivo es que los jóvenes adquieran un mayor conocimiento del patrimonio mundial para implicarlos en el proceso de conservación y valorización de las ciudades reconocidas como tesoros de la humanidad.

Esta iniciativa está dirigida a jóvenes de 14 a 21 años, en la que se les invita a producir un vídeo, de una duración máxima de 5 minutos, que ponga en valor las características y peculiaridades del Patrimonio Mundial de la ciudad en la que viven, en el caso de Granada tanto el entorno de la Alhambra como el del Generalife.

El concurso dividirá los vídeos participantes en dos categorías correspondientes a dos grupos de edad: el de 14 a 17 años y el de 18 a 21 años. Podrán editarse tanto en francés como en inglés y español. Será publicados en Youtube y etiquetados con la expresión Tu patrimonio, Tu ciudad y 5 minutos. Cuando acabe el periodo de recepción, el 30 de mayo, cada ciudad elegirá uno de cada categoría de edad como representantes del municipio a través de un sistema que combina la votación popular y la de un jurado.

Se admiten los vídeos producidos con una cámara de vídeo, un aparato de fotos, un ordenador o un teléfono móvil. Para más detalles, la descarga de bases se podrá efectuar en www.ugr.es; www.albaicin-granada.com; http://granajoven.granada.org. OCPM elegirá un ganador por cada categoría de entre todas las ciudades participantes, que será premiado con 500 dólares y un viaje de 4 días a Sintra (Portugal). Además ambos vídeos serán difundidos en la web oficial de la OCPM, así como en el próximo congreso mundial que realice la organización.

Elderly drivers have higher crash rates in non problematic environments than other drivers

Escrito por

Drivers aged over 60 have higher crash rates in non problematic operating environments –as in junctions– than drivers of other age groups. Although elderly drivers present deteriorated driving abilities, they have proved to be more cautious, to compensate such deficiencies. This way, older drivers avoid engaging in risky behaviours like speeding, passing dangerously or driving under the effects of alcohol. Such were the conclusions drawn of the study conducted by University of Granada researchers and recently published in Revista Española de Geriatría y Gerontología, where a comprehensive study was developed on the relationship between driving and age. The authors of this study are David Cantón Cortés, Mercedes Durán Segura and Cándida Castro Ramírez, professors of the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Granada.

In the last decades, a significant increase of crash rates for drivers aged over 60 has been reported. However, and contrary to the general opinion, the study conducted by the University of Granada revealed that crash rates for this age group are lower that that for younger drivers aged ≤20.

2 Out Of Every 10 Keep Driving

Researchers note that «24.8% of drivers aged over 74 years keep driving», and they remark that, although accident rates are lower for elderly drivers, «when they are involved in a car crash, the injuries they suffer are more serious than that of middle-aged or of young drivers'».

David Cantón concludes that «age does not seem to be a contributing factor in fatal accidents». Additionally, a number of studies have found that «there is a relationship between keeping driving and having higher satisfaction rates in the old age». In other words, old people are happier when they keep driving, since it boosts their self-esteem.

University of Granada researchers remark that a limit of age should not exist for driving and that «the authorities should allow elderly drivers to keep driving as long as they can, providing that this does not involve any risk for their own safety and that of others'».

Parto pretermine, allattamento e alimentazione

Escrito por

In caso di parto pretermine l’allattamento al seno, pur essendo l’alimento migliore per il piccolo, potrebbe non fornire i giusti quantitativi del coenzima Q10. Questo particolare coenzima, conosciuto anche come ubidecarenone, è indispensabile per la respirazione e rigenerazione cellulare e, oltre ad essere un potente antiossidante, svolge un ruolo centrale nel funzionamento del muscolo cardiaco. L’indagine che ha esaminato i livelli del coenzima Q10 nelle varie fasi latte materno (colostro, latte di transizione e maturo) è frutto di un lavoro congiunto tra i ricercatori dell’Università di Granada e dell’Ospedale San Cecilio (Spagna). I risultati dello studio sono stati divulgati in questi giorni (Febbraio 2011, Preterm mothers’ milk contains less antioxidants than mothers completing their gestation).

Le conclusioni sono frutto di un’indagine che ha coinvolto 30 neo-mamme che allattavano al seno il proprio piccolo. Del totale, 15 avevano portato a termine la gravidanza regolarmente (40 settimane di gestazione) mentre 15 avevano avuto un parto pretermine. Prima di prelevare dei campioni di latte, a tutte le volontarie sono state poste una serie di domande relative alla loro alimentazione durante l’allattamento. Durante l’analisi del latte materno si è indagato sui livelli di varie sostanze quali: il coenzima Q10 e il tocoferolo. Tutte le informazioni sono state poi elaborate con software sviluppato presso l’Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology «José Mataix» (University of Granada).

Dai risultati dell’elaborazione si è notato che i livelli del coenzima Q10 nel latte materno delle madri che avevano avuto un parto pretermine, rispetto a quelle che avevano avuto una gravidanza regolare, erano inferiori anche del 75 per cento. Risultati analoghi erano stati rilevati anche per i livelli di tocoferolo.

Pur considerando il numero ristretto di volontarie che hanno partecipato allo studio, i risultati raccolti sono molto interessanti. La salute dei prematuri dipende anche dall’alimentazione, individuare possibili carenze permette di apportare le dovute correzioni affinché i piccoli ricevano tutte le sostanze di cui hanno bisogno per svilupparsi correttamente.
