Abstract:

Spain has created an innovative foreign policy instrument: its network of public diplomacy Casas, comprising Casa América, Casa Asia, Casa Árabe, Casa África, Casa Mediterráneo, and Centro Sefarad-Israel. The network of Casas is, today, an essential asset of Spanish foreign policy, one with an ever-increasing international projection. Located in landmark buildings in different Spanish cities (Madrid, Barcelona, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Alicante and Córdoba), the Casas have a threefold advantage. First, they are much more than a cultural space — they are institutions that help strengthen relations with a region or group of countries in many aspects (scientific and economic, among others). Second, they are spaces for collaboration, both among public administrations (national, regional and local) and with private partners. Last but not least, they were created and function as a public diplomacy instrument, to keep in touch — through an increasing use of new technologies — with civil society representatives from different countries.

Abstract:

Luis Barragán (Guadalajara, Mexico, 1902-1988) and José Antonio Coderch (Barcelona, Spain, 1913-1984), despite having different origins, shared a common ground. Their architecture – based on Mediterranean tradition – was adapted to similar mild climate conditions, where shadowed and protected open spaces played a role as transitional spaces between indoors and outdoors. Those spaces were not treated as traditional elements incorporated within the buildings’ repertories, but were spatial proposals with a goal – rooted in their cultural backgrounds – of enriching the relationship between both realms. In this essay, common features arise when comparing two paradigmatic houses built by Barragán (Casa Prieto López, Mexico City, Mexico, 1950) and Coderch (Casa Ugalde, Caldes d’Estrach, Spain, 1951), within subjects such as the role of tradition, the relationship to the place, or the explanation of their architecture as a plastic experience.Private and public are clearly separated in both architects’ works, generally by a hermetic and neutral facade, behind which indoors and outdoors are interwoven, in such a way that open spaces take part of the interior of their houses and views towards the landscape or the sky break up the limits. Some of the spaces are settled in a kind of ambiguous category: there will be enclosed rooms with no ceiling, or patios and porches with windows in them.The common Mediterranean heritage appears within plane and plastered abstract walls, where plasticity rises from roughness, colour, light and shadow. The nuances appear in the personal interpretation of the experience of space, as well as in answer to the local conditions, and it is then that a different position in relation to nature emerges; whereas the Mediterranean coast is naturally soft and mild, the Mexican vegetation and geological features introduce a brave contrast between the open and the built.

Abstract:

To analyze the life and transformation of modern housing is a key subject for architectural knowledge. There are very positive cases of evolution, such as Casa Bloc in Barcelona, Spain, by GATCPAC architects, which still functions as living patrimony after two architectural rehabilitations; and disastrous, such as Robin Hood Gardens in London by Alison and Peter Smithson. The article explains why some cases are very alive while others have suffered progressive degradation and will be demolished. A key and decisive element is the design of the corridors, which due to their forms and sizes might be positive. And one of the reasons why these complexes have become obsolete has been the excessive architectural definition of both the exterior and the interior. Also the heritage of the Villes Nouvelles in France has been disastrous and, in response to the policy of demolition, architects such as Anne Lacaton and Jean-Philippe Vassal, Roland Castro and Sophie Denissof, or Paul Chemetov, have defended the logic of redoing, remodeling and metamorphosing. The challenge is to project and to build collective housing capable of absorbing transformations.

Abstract:

Subjective semen evaluation using standard optical microscopy is the most common practice. Semen parameters routinely assessed are volume, concentration, progressive motility, and morphology. However, computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA) represents an objective evaluation, sperm assessment that are reproducible and reliable. Such semen parameters have not been evaluated in Afrikaner, Brahman, and Bonsmara bulls’ semen. The present study evaluated the sperm motion and kinematics characteristics of semen from stud Afrikaner, Brahman, Bonsmara, and Nguni bulls using CASA technology. The electro-ejaculator was used for semen collection from Afrikaner (n = 11), Brahman (n = 7), Bonsmara (n = 10) and Nguni (n = 16) bulls of known and proven fertility. Semen was collected following 4 days of resting period. The bulls ranged between 5 and 6 years of age. After collection, the semen samples were immediately transferred to a thermo-flask and maintained at 37°C for further evaluation in the mobile laboratory (Nedambale, 2014). The CASA-Sperm Class Analyzer® system (Microptic, Barcelona, Spain) was used to evaluate sperm motion, velocity, and kinematic parameters or characteristics of raw/fresh semen from 4 cattle breeds. Data were analysed using GenStat® statistical programme (VSN International, Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom). Treatment means were compared using one-way ANOVA. The total sperm motility rate was similar for all breeds: Afrikaner (92.2 ± 4.2), Brahman (90.7 ± 9.0), Bonsmara (93.9 ± 4.0), and Nguni (96.0 ± 2.7). However, Brahman and Afrikaner bull semen had higher sperm cells moving in a progressive motility of 57.3 and 45.6%, respectively, compared with other breeds (P < 0.05). Nguni, Afrikaner, and Bonsmara had the highest sperm cells moving in a rapid movement of 73.7, 72.4, and 67.4% (P > 0.05), respectively. The bulls sperm trajectories had a variation, as they were recorded to be irregular and not linear (P < 0.05). The straight-line sperm velocity (µm s−1), wobbling %, and amplitude of lateral head displacement % was similar for the 4 breeds (P > 0.05). In conclusion, CASA technology was a useful technique for assessing differences in sperm motion and kinematic (motility and velocity characteristics) among different bull breeds.

Abstract:

The Somalia wild ass (Equus africanus somaliensis) is a critically endangered taxon (IUCN 2004 red list) which could benefit from biological resource banking. In this work, we studied the effect of different extenders applied to the cryopreservation of epididymal sperm obtained from one male of this subspecies. This animal (13 years old; housed in Cabarceno Park, Cantabria, Spain) was castrated because of very aggressive behavior with other mature males. Genitalia were dissected and weighed (testicles: right, 166 g, and left, 179 g; cauda epididymis: right, 9.3 g, and left, 11.8 g). Sperm were flushed from the cauda epididymis, yielding 15 mL of sample. Sperm concentration was 15 × 109 spermatozoa/mL, totaling 225 × 109 (allowing 4500 doses at 50 × 106 sperm/dose). Sperm motility (TM = % total motile; PM = % progressive; VAP = average path velocity) was assessed by CASA (Microptic, Barcelona, Spain). Viability (VIAB = % viable sperm) and acrosomal status (ACR = % viable spermatozoa with intact acrosomes) were assessed using propidium iodide (37 μmol/L) and PNA-FITC (1 ng/L) and flow cytometry. Chemicals were purchased from Sigma (Madrid, Spain). Part of the sample was divided into six aliquots and diluted 1:1 with different extenders: UL4: Tes-Tris-Fructose (TTF), 10% egg yolk (EG), and 4% glycerol (G); UL8: TTF, 20% EG, and 8% G; AND4: Andromed® (Minitüb, Tiefenbach, Germany) and 4% G; AND7: Andromed® and 7% G; GENT: Gent 1045; and INRA: INRA96 and 4% G. Andromed, Gent, and INRA are commercial extenders. Samples were cooled to 5°C (−0.2°C/min) and then diluted to 200 × 106 sperm/mL. Samples were packed (0.5-mL straws) and frozen using a biofreezer (from 5°C to −15°C at −15°C/min, and from −15°C to −100°C at −25°C/min). Samples were thawed at 65°C for 6 s, and assessed as for pre-freezing (Table 1). Post-thawing motility recovery using AND7 was excellent. The highest viability recovery was achieved by UL4, although that in AND7 was similar. The poor results of equine commercial extender Gent 1045 in this species are remarkable. Our results highlight the importance of species differences in the field of sperm cryopreservation. It is necessary to carry out continuous research for optimizing cryopreservation protocols in order to create germplasm banks for wild species. Table 1. Quality assessment results

Abstract:

Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) has proven to be efficient as a supplement for cryopreservation boar spermatozoa (Roca et al. 2004 J. Androl. 25, 397–405). Moreover, it has been successfully used as an egg yolk substitute to cryopreserve goat spermatozoa (Khalifa and El-Saidy 2006 Anim. Reprod. Sci. 93, 303–315). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of BHT as an egg yolk substitute for freezing boar spermatozoa. Nine sperm-rich ejaculate fractions were collected from 3 boars (3 ejaculates per boar) using the gloved-hand method. After centrifugation (2400g for 3 min), the sperm pellet of each ejaculate was split into 5 aliquots. The aliquots were diluted (to a final concentration of 1 � 109 sperm/mL) in a Tris-citric-glucose extender with 3% glycerol and supplemented with 20% egg yolk (positive control, PC aliquot) or BHT at the final concentrations of 0 (negative control, NC aliquot), 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 mM. Diluted semen samples were dispensed into 0.5-mL straws, and frozen in a programmable cell freezer at 20�C min. Thawing was carried out in a water bath at 70�C for 8 s. Post-thaw sperm survival was assessed according to total sperm motility (TSM, %) using a CASA system (SCA�; Microptic, Barcelona, Spain), and plasma membrane integrity (PMI, %) and acrosome membrane integrity (AMI, %) using a flow cytometric procedure (SYBR-14/propidioum iodide/FITC-phycoerythrin), at 30 and 150 min post-thawing in diluted Beltsville thawing solution with spermatozoa held in a waterbath at 37�C (3 straws per ejaculate). Data were analyzed using a ANOVA mixed model including the main effects of aliquot, boar, post-thaw assessment time, and their interactions, with ejaculate and straw as random effects. All main effects had significant influence (P ≤ 0.01) in all post-thaw sperm assessments. However, no interactions (P ≥ 0.05) among main effects were shown. Data were combined for the 2 post-thaw assessment times. The best (P ≤ 0.05) post-thaw sperm quality (mean � SEM) was achieved in PC aliquots (47.11 � 3.10, 58.98 � 2.78, and 51.35 � 3.42 for TSM, PMI, and AMI, respectively). In NC aliquots, the percentage of TSM, PMI, and AMI were always below 1% (P ≤ 0.05). BHT has a beneficial (P ≤ 0.05) effect on post-thaw sperm assessments, and no differences (P ≥ 0.05) among concentrations were shown. The mean post-thaw sperm quality in the BHT aliquots was 8.50 � 0.80, 20.29 � 0.53, and 16.03 � 0.55 for TSM, PMI, and AMI, respectively. On the basis of these data, we can conclude that BHT has a protective effect for boar spermatozoa during the cryopreservation process. However, BHT alone is insufficient to replace the protective effect of egg yolk. This work was supported by CICYT (AGF2005-00706), Madrid, Spain.

Abstract:

The need to conserve farm animal biodiversity is accepted by many countries through the ratification of the convention of biological diversity, and sperm quality is known to be an important criterion in the evaluation of breeding soundness. The aim of this work was to characterize the semen of a local breed of ponies 'Asturcon' (maintained free over the mountains all year around) before its incorporation into a germplasm bank. Semen was obtained from six stallions (6–17 years of age) using an artificial vagina, 3 days/week, during 12 weeks. Immediately after collection, gel-free semen was evaluated for volume, sperm concentration, and motility. Semen motility was again evaluated after equilibration/refrigeration. For evaluation of individual (IM) and progressive motility (PM) rates, semen was diluted (20 � 106 spermatozoa/mL) and analyzed with a CASA System (SCA; Microptic S.L., Barcelona, Spain). Five fields per sample were evaluated (minimum 500 spermatozoa/sample) under a phase contrast microscope (100�). Semen samples were subjected to a hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOS) test to detect the presence of swollen tails in a 100 mM citrate–fructose solution. Percentages of altered acrosomes and morphological abnormalities were determined by counting 100 spermatozoa (1000�). Then, semen was diluted and centrifuged for 10 min at 600g. After the supernatant was discarded, the pellet was re-suspended in freezing medium (skim milk extender containing 2% egg yolk and 2.5% glycerol) to a final concentration of 100 � 106 spermatozoa/mL, and equilibrated/cooled (60 min) to 4�C. Statistical analysis was carried out by means of the GLM and CORR procedures and Duncan test for means (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC, USA). A significant effect between males (P < 0.05) on semen quality, such as volume of the ejaculate, sperm concentration, and morphological abnormalities, were detected among stallions. On the other hand, positive and significant correlations were found between the sperm motility immediately after collection and after equilbration/refrigeration (r = 0.73; P < 0.05); moreover, sperm motilities (both fresh and refrigerated) correlated with the results of the HOS test (r = 0.56; P < 0.001, and r = 0.27, P < 0.05, respectively). These preliminary results confirm that the sperm of the Asturcon ponies breed can be collected and will survive the equilibration/refrigeration procedures. Conservation and development of local breeds is important because they represent a unique source of genes for improving health and performance traits of industrial breeds. However, complementary studies on the ability of the stallion sperm to survive freezing/thawing procedures in rates higher than 30% are needed to ensure that genetic banks are correctly created. This work was performed in collaboration with ACPRA and Dep�sito de Sementales de Santander (Spain), and supported by RZ2004-00031-C02-01.
