Haptic Perception in Extreme Obesity: qEEG Study Focused on Predictive Coding and Body Schema
2020
Haptic perception (HP) is a perceptual modality requiring manual exploration to elaborate the physical characteristics of external stimuli through multisensory integrative cortical pathways. Cortical areas exploit processes of predictive coding that collect sensorial inputs to build and update internal perceptual models. Modifications to the internal representation of the body have been associated with eating disorders. In the light of this, obese subjects were selected as a valid experimental model to explore predictive coding in haptic perception. To this purpose, we performed electroencephalographic (EEG) continuous recordings during a haptic task in normally weighted versus obese subjec…

Funcions executives i processament emocional en trastorns alimentaris i en l'obesitat
2019
Introducció: Els trastorns alimentaris (TA) són trastorns psicològics caracteritzats per una conducta alterada enfront de la ingesta i per continus intents de controlar el pes i la figura corporal, així com per un patró psicopatològic que inclou factors cognitius i emocionals. Molts autors consideren que els TA i l'obesitat comparteixen múltiples aspectes i els situen en dos pols d'un mateix continu. S'ha evidenciat l'existència de dèficits en diversos dominis cognitius i emocionals en tots dos trastorns. Esta tesis s’estructura en dues parts: Primera part: L'objectiu va ser analitzar el perfil neuropsicològic (presa de decisions, canvi d'enfocament i coherència central) i de processament e…
Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2014
El objetivo del presente trabajo consiste en identificar, hacer visibles, describir y explicar las prácticas de enseñanza que declaran realizar los “mejores profesores” de la Universidad de Vigo. Para ello, planteamos un diseño cualitativo a través de la técnica de la entrevista. Antes de hacer mención de las principales conclusiones hemos de hacer constar que nos interesaba buscar referencias de “buenas prácticas”, no hacer una evaluación de las prácticas docentes, buenas o malas, del profesorado de la Universidad de Vigo. La principal conclusión es que incluso entre los “mejores profesores” predominan unas prácticas docentes que podrían encuadrarse, mayoritariamente, en el enfoque “tradic…
Does oral health affect food comfortability and bolus properties during consumption of dairy products in elderly population?
2017
The elderly population is growing increasingly. In 2030, 1/3 of the population will be over 60 years old. However this population has specific nutritional needs and often, oral impairments such as loss of tooth and/or decrease of salivary flow. Therefore it is necessary to develop foods adapted for the elderly, in terms of organoleptic properties and nutritional composition. In this context, the purpose of this work is to study the impact of oral impairments of elderly persons on food comfortability and bolus properties during the consumption of dairy products.76 elderly persons (ages 66 to 88, 42 women and 34 men), with or without oral health problems in terms of dental and/or salivary sta…

Ultrafast Interface Charge Separation in Carbon Nanodot-Nanotube Hybrids
2021
Carbon dots are an emerging family of zero-dimensional nanocarbons behaving as tunable light harvesters and photoactivated charge donors. Coupling them to carbon nanotubes, which are well-known electron acceptors with excellent charge transport capabilities, is very promising for several applications. Here, we first devised a route to achieve the stable electrostatic binding of carbon dots to multi- or single-walled carbon nanotubes, as confirmed by several experimental observations. The photoluminescence of carbon dots is strongly quenched when they contact either semiconductive or conductive nanotubes, indicating a strong electronic coupling to both. Theoretical simulations predict a favo…
Ogļskābes anhidrāžu II un IX izoformu strukturālie pētījumi specifisku inhibitoru dizainam
2015
Darba mērķis bija ar proteīnu kristalogrāfijas palīdzību noskaidrot dažādu inhibitoru novietojumus zīdītājos sastopamo ogļskābes anhidrāžu II un IX izoformu aktīvajos centros nolūkā radīt jaunu ārstniecības vielu prototipus. Maģistra darba tapšanas laikā tika iegūtas vairākas ogļskābes anhidrāžu II un IX izoformu proteīnu struktūras kompleksā ar dažādiem savienojumiem. Iegūtie rezultāti ir izmantojami racionālam zāļu dizainam, ar mērķi izveidot selektīvus ar audzējiem saistītās ogļskābes anhidrāzes IX, vai ar glaukomu saistītās II izoformas inhibitorus. Maģistra darbs izstrādāts Latvijas Biomedicīnas pētījumu un studiju centrā, proteīnu kristalogrāfijas laboratorijā Dr. biol. Kaspara Tāra v…
Earth Bricks with Halloysite Nanoclay: Research and Experimentation for the Sustainability of Materials
2021
The paper illustrates the experimentation activities on rammed earth and nanotechnologies conducted by the authors. The experimental research was carried out with the aim of improving the performance of rammed earth bricks with clay nanotubes, creating a ‘new material’ with reduced embodied energy and low CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Specifically, the analysed performances are related to the compressive strength that expand their area of use as a building material.
Enterobacter cloacae administration induces hepatic damage and subcutaneous fat accumulation in high-fat diet fed mice.
2018
Accumulating evidence indicates that gut microbiota plays a significant role in obesity, insulin resistance and associated liver disorders. Family Enterobacteriaceae and especially Enterobacter cloacae strain B29 have been previously linked to obesity and hepatic damage. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain unclear. Therefore, we comprehensively examined the effects of E. cloacae subsp. cloacae (ATCC® 13047™) administration on host metabolism of mice fed with high-fat diet (HFD). C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into HFD control, chow control, and E. cloacae treatment groups. The E. cloacae treatment group received live bacterial cells in PBS intragastrically twice a week, every ot…
