In vitro maturation of oocytes recovered from dead animals provides an opportunity for rescuing genetic material for biodiversity conservation. The dorcas gazelle (Gazella dorcas) is regarded by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) as ‘vulnerable’ but the subspecies G. dorcas neglecta is thought to be endangered due to excessive hunting. A captive breeding program for dorcas gazelles has been developed at the Estacion Experimental de Zonas Aridas (CSIC) in the South of Spain where efforts have so far concentrated on natural breeding and on the development of sperm cryopreservation protocols. The aim of the present study was to explore the possibility of recovering and maturing in vitro healthy oocytes from animals that die suddenly for the establishment of a program to rescue female gametes. Ovaries of a dorcas female that died unexpectedly were collected about 7 h after death of the animal. Cumulus–oocyte complexes (COCs) were recovered by slicing the ovaries. Collection and washing of COCs were performed in warmed TCM-199-HEPES with antibiotics and polyvinyl alcohol. Degenerated oocytes or those with expanded cumulus cells were removed. A total of 15 COCs were cultured in TCM-199 with 10% heat-treated fetal calf serum, 10 μg/mL ovine FSH/LH, 1 µg/mL estradiol, and 0.1 mg/mL glutamine at 38.5°C under 5% CO2/air with high humidity. After 24 h of culture, matured oocytes, as revealed by the presence of a polar body, were activated with 7% ethanol for 10 min and further incubation for 3 h. Meiotic progression and activation were evaluated by staining with Hoechst 33342 and propidium iodide (1 μg/mL each) and visualization under a fluorescence microscope. Results at the end of incubations showed that 4/15 oocytes were degenerated, 4/15 were arrested at the MI stage, and 7/15 (46.7%) progressed to the MII stage. One oocyte was found to be at the 2-cell stage but it could not be established whether this was the result of the activation method used. These results demonstrate that it is possible to recover viable oocytes several hours after death and rescue them for subsequent in vitro maturation and fertilization. More studies are needed to characterize suitable conditions for oocyte maturation, fertilization, and culture in the dorcas gazelle. This would, in turn, help in the effort to rescue biomaterials from wildlife for generating offspring. This work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science (REN 2003–01587) and Acciones Integradas (HI20030336).

One of the IRDiRC goals for 2017–2027 is to achieve definitive diagnosis for rare undiagnosed diseases within one year, as delay in diagnosis remains one of the pending issues in the rare diseases field. The Spanish Undiagnosed Rare Diseases Program (SpainUDP) was created in response to this challenging scenario to cover patients’ needs and after seeing the success of the Undiagnosed Diseases Program (UDP) in the USA. SpainUDP offers a multidisciplinary approach to those patients who have long sought a diagnosis without any success. During the first phase of the protocol, undiagnosed cases are sent to SpainUDP by individual patients or families, patient organizations or hospitals. After careful analysis of phenotype, data from sequencing experiments (WES) is processed with a standard pipeline and detailed standardized phenotypic information (mapped to the Human Phenotype Ontology, HPO) is connected to genetic data. In addition, the participation of SpainUDP in international initiatives such as the European projects RD-Connect and Solve RD, the Undiagnosed Diseases Network International (UDNI), and the MatchMaker Exchange (MME) platform, allows the establishment of a global data sharing strategy across multiple projects submitting data to these international initiatives. From the official beginning of the program (at the end of 2015) until early 2018, 147 cases were accepted in SpainUDP. During this time, 37 cases (25%) dropped out the program due to several reasons. The remaining 110 cases are distributed as follows: phenotypic and genotypic (WES) characterization was finished in 30 cases, of which 20 (67%) were diagnosed; 21 cases are pending on variants’ validation by Sanger sequencing; in 25 cases, WES is ongoing and 34 cases are being studied for deep phenotypic characterization. In conclusion, SpainUDP aims to achieve a diagnosis following two recommendations of the IRDiRC: the patients’ diagnosis in as short a time as possible and the promotion of data sharing (especially genomic) at the international level.

The objective of this article is to analyse the potential of ComunicARTE, an innovative Spanish Language teaching/learning program that uses project-based learning to develop dialogic spaces which promote the communicative competence of Spanish students, together with social, emotional and motivational outcomes. Two schools have been observed with this in mind: an experimental one using this program and a control one. This is a longitudinal study with pre-and post-test data which analyses 170 children at the beginning of their fifth year and the end of their sixth year in primary school. Quantitative tests have been used to assess their communicative competence and motivational orientation in the classroom. The results obtained are discussed.

310 Background: Patient care quality is a discipline with enormous relevance in today’s healthcare. Quality Oncology Practice Initiative (QOPI) is a referral worldwide in quality for oncology practices. ECO Foundation is a collaboration of experts representing the major Spanish hospitals involved in the treatment of cancer patients. ECO reached an agreement with QOPI to involve Spanish hospitals in the QOPI program. Methods: Six rounds of data collection have taken place (Fall 2015 to Round 1 2018). Practices had to register online and submit data into the QOPI platform, and ECO Foundation offered all centers the necessary support. 17 Spanish hospitals have participated in the six rounds, and 7 of them have repeated participation. Core and Lung Cancer modules were completed. Results: During the six rounds, 1877 charts were submitted by the Spanish practices. In most of the rounds, the highest scores were: Pathology report confirming malignancy, Number of chemotherapy cycles documented, Patient consent for chemotherapy and 5 measures of the Lung Cancer module. The lowest scores were: Chemotherapy treatment summary provided to patient within 3 months of chemotherapy end, Chemotherapy treatment summary provided or communicated to practitioner(s) within 3 months of chemotherapy end, Smoking/tobacco use cessation counselling recommended to smokers/tobacco users in past year and Tobacco cessation counselling administered or patient referred in past year. The percentage of participating practices that presented results higher than 70% was successively 64%, 50%, 75% and 100% in the last three rounds. For the 7 hospitals that repeated participation, 3 reported an improvement of their global scores. Regarding QOPI Certification, three Spanish hospitals received this accreditation in September 2017 and one in June 2018. Conclusions: These preliminary results are a good starting point for the continued implementation of the QOPI program in Spain, thus providing a well-structured approach to analyze cancer care. ECO Foundation will continue pursuing excellence and quality with further activities like the QOPI Certification program and Quality Training Program, these being performed for the first time in Spain in 2017 and 2018 respectively.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce a developed software program called the “Spanish Collocation Tool (SCT)” and its application in related corpus-based studies. The Spanish Collocation Tool (SCT) was designed to assist with the research and analysis of Spanish collocation. The SCT allows searches of collocated elements not limited to words, but also parts of speech and lemmas. Furthermore, it can compare two collocation lists to detect any significant differences between them. In this study, this collocation tool, SCT, and a constructed L3 Taiwanese learners’ written corpus of Spanish called CEATE were combined to create efficient access to results in a systematic approach. Furthermore, by using the SCT, the pedagogical implications of the search results for the development of on-line multimedia material for learning Spanish collocations are discussed in the end.

♦BackgroundWe undertook a cost-effectiveness analysis of the Spanish Renal Replacement Therapy (RRT) program for end-stage renal disease patients from a societal perspective. The current Spanish situation was compared with several hypothetical scenarios.♦MethodsA Markov chain model was used as a foundation for simulations of the Spanish RRT program in three temporal horizons (5, 10, and 15 years). The current situation (scenario 1) was compared with three different scenarios: increased proportion of overall scheduled (planned) incident patients (scenario 2); constant proportion of overall scheduled incident patients, but increased proportion of scheduled incident patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD), resulting in a lower proportion of scheduled incident patients on hemodialysis (HD) (scenario 3); and increased overall proportion of scheduled incident patients together with increased scheduled incidence of patients on PD (scenario 4).♦ResultsThe incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs) of scenarios 2, 3, and 4, when compared with scenario 1, were estimated to be, respectively, -€83 150, -€354 977, and -€235 886 per incremental quality-adjusted life year (ΔQALY), evidencing both moderate cost savings and slight effectiveness gains. The net health benefits that would accrue to society were estimated to be, respectively, 0.0045, 0.0211, and 0.0219 ΔQALYs considering a willingness-to-pay threshold of €35 000/ΔQALY.♦ConclusionsScenario 1, the current Spanish situation, was dominated by all the proposed scenarios. Interestingly, scenarios 3 and 4 showed the best results in terms of cost-effectiveness. From a cost-effectiveness perspective, an increase in the overall scheduled incidence of RRT, and particularly that of PD, should be promoted.

Abstract The present study considers global (Dörnyei’s 2005 L2 selves) and micro (task-specific) measures of motivation in a unique task-based context: a two-week, domestic Spanish immersion program for high schoolers in the United States (Gurzynski-Weiss, in revision). Data was collected from eight students via task-specific questionnaires (given after 30 tasks), L2 self questionnaires (given at the beginning and end of a two-week program), and 12 daily reflective journals. Results indicated overall high L2 self-constructs with little change over two weeks of instruction, and all task domains were rated moderately to very high for task motivation. It was found that higher L2 self ratings regularly patterned with higher task-specific motivation, although participant individual differences and characteristics unique to a domestic immersion program also influenced task-specific motivation.

North-South educational partnerships can potentially alleviate the scarcity of health work force in the South. A model program with the objectives of sustainability, high trainee retention, quality education, and capacity building is the goal of many similar programs. To achieve these goals a program of postgraduate clinical specialty training was implemented, between the University of Bergen, Norway and three Universities in Africa and one medical school in India between 2008 to 2014. This partnership program aimed at educating physicians from the South to specialize in various medical field. The goal was that the trained physicians would be educators in their respective countries. The program participants were 58 medical doctors.At the end of the program we conducted an evaluation survey involving program participants and coordinators. Twenty-eight physicians (48%) responded to the survey. The average program evaluation score by the physicians was 4.5 (out of a maximum of 5) with a range of 3.2 to 5. Out of the 12 program coordinators 9 (75%) responded to the survey. Their average score was 4.5 with a range of 4 to 4.9. By the time the survey was conducted, 49 of the 58 (84.5%) program participants had completed the program successfully and 47 of the 49 (95.9 %) were working in their own countries.In conclusion, the partnership program was effective in capacity building in the development of the human health workforce in Africa. We have observed a high retention rate, good quality education, a sustainable program and the model can easily be reproducible.

The Unitarian Service Committee was one of the most important US aid agencies involved in assisting refugees in the World War II context. In the article I analyse the origins of its action in Europe, focusing on a practically unknown aspect which as its intervention in favour of Spanish Republicans who had fled from Spain and the threat of Francoism in 1939. The Unitarian Service Committee (USC) began its operations in the spring of 1940 and an office of the Unitarian Service Committee would be established in Marseilles in 1941. From this office active work was focused mainly on medical help for the camp inmates in the south of France. The USC had an aid program dedicated exclusively to the Spanish refugees. This program was supported by funding from another American organization, the Joint Antifascist Refugee Committee closely linked to socialist and communist circles and whose chairman, Edward Barsky, was a former international Brigadier who had participated in the Spanish Civil War. I will analyse the links between these two organizations and their connections with international relief networks.

At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century the cardplay l’hombre was very popular in Iceland. This play probably came to Iceland from Denmark around the middle of the 19th century. This paper deals with some words which belong to his game and are of Spanish origin as well as the game itself. These Spanish loan-words have travelled from the south to the north through French and Danish until entering Icelandic. Many of the words are still used when the game is played; words like, for example, basti, spaddilía, manilía, matador, koðradilla, ponti, as well as the name of the cardplay, lomber.

The grave economic crisis that accompanied the initial financing crisis, whose origin is established in the housing sector in the United States of America, and the following tensions in the European sovereign debt markets, generated important stability and solvency problems in the Spanish banking sector. This environment of profound economic and financing instability constitutes the starting point of this work, that has as its main objective, in the first place, to realize an analysis of the financing reforms adopted by the Spanish authorities since the end of 2008, the moment in which short or medium range steps were implemented to face up to the more immediate consequences of the crisis, until the end of the financing assistance program, and, in the second place, to compare the results obtained with those corresponding to other banking systems that have also received public support.

On July 21, 1786 a secret meeting took place in the office of the Spanish ambassador in Paris, Count of Aranda. The ambassador, aided by the Irish abbot O'Sullivan (who acted as translator), met John Brooks, a British captain who introduced himself as a loyalist veteran of the American Revolution. Brooks had come to Paris from London, all expenses covered by the Spanish government, to inform Aranda of an expedition projected in Britain to invade the northern coast of South America in the vicinity of the port of Cartagena. According to Brooks, Juan Blommart, a French veteran of the American Revolution, was the leader of the projected expedition. With official British backing—Brooks declared that the Marquis of Buckingham was sponsoring the expedition—and the participation of military adventurers John Cruden and Francisco de Miranda, the expedition was scheduled to sail before the end of the year. After receiving Aranda's report, the Spanish Ministry of the Indies sent the information across the Atlantic to New Granada's Viceroy Antonio Caballero y Góngora for him to make all the necessary preparations to face this potential threat.

Background/Context Two-way dual-language programs have become an increasingly popular educational model in the United States for language minority and majority speakers, with a small but growing number of programs at the high school level. Little is known, however, about how adolescents’ social networks develop in the contexts of these programs. Purpose/Objective This study examines how a two-way, dual language enrichment program for Spanish-language learner (SLL) and English-language learner (ELL) adolescents influenced students’ social networks with peers of different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Setting The program took place in a south-Atlantic state at a suburban/rural high school that has substantial within-school linguistic segregation. Population/Participants Program participants included 20 students: 10 English-dominant learners of Spanish, and 10 Spanish-dominant learners of English. Intervention/Program The two-way dual-language program was a voluntary extracurricular program in which adolescent Spanish-dominant ELLs and English-dominant SLLs participated in collaborative and student-led bilingual activities designed to foster the sharing of cross-linguistic expertise and cross-cultural knowledge over a seven-month period. Research Design In this mixed-methods study, student-level Likert-scale data is analyzed quantitatively and supported through analysis of qualitative interview responses and observational field notes. Quantitative results compare ELL and SLL participants’ demographic and baseline social characteristics, before-and-after social networks, the changing nature of reported relationships over time as a function of language status, and magnitude of growth in relationships’ strength before and after the program. Qualitative results examine the qualities and conditions of these relationships and the conditions under which they developed. Findings/Results Results suggest that despite participants’ demographic differences, ELL and SLL students in the dual-language program reported building new, strengthened, and mutually recognized relationships, particularly with students of different language backgrounds who worked together within long-term collaborative small groups. Conclusions/Recommendations When students are provided with a carefully designed instructional and ecological context that provides authentic purposes for using language and building peer relationships, this research suggests that both ELLs and SLLs may be able to build linguistically integrated social networks.

Service-learning in foreign language classrooms is an effective resource for developing language motivation. Unfortunately, Canadian language programs have been off to a slow start in adopting integrative teaching such as service-learning in their foreign language curricula (Hale, 1999). This work reports on a Community Service Learning (CSL) initiative introduced at a Canadian university in the Hispanic Studies program. A total of fifty second and third year Spanish language students volunteered with various community partners on a weekly basis for a total of sixteen weeks. End-of-term questionnaire indicates that overall students had a favorable experience at their placement and CSL had a positive influence in continuing their studies in Spanish.

AbstractLatino No Fumes: Protege tu Salud was a smoking cessation demonstration project carried out in 2003 to 2004 that recruited Spanish-speaking smokers in 8 Connecticut cities. Recruitment was through radio and TV announcements, by mail, and at clinics and hospitals. 252 current smokers — mainly of Puerto Rican ancestry — signed up for the program; 75% of them attended one or more of the program's 6 weekly, group counselling sessions. One third of the registrants attended at least 5 of the sessions offered. Attendance of one or more sessions was only 55% for summer or winter groups, but 98% for sessions held in the fall. For the summer or winter sessions (only), attendance at one or more sessions was significantly greater in small than in larger cities. At program end, 14% of the participants were verified nonsmokers (self-reported abstinence and carbon monoxide readings < 9 ppm). The reported quit rates were 18% and 13%, respectively, at 3 and 6 months. The amount of attendance was not significantly related to the reported end of program quit-rates. Nearly all nonsmokers at program end had attended groups conducted by just 3 (of the 7) trained counsellors, who were presumably more effective in helping these Latino smokers to quit.

Bullying can have serious physical and emotional consequences. In recent years, interest in this phenomenon has been growing, becoming a public health problem in the first world. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the Action for Neutralization of Bullying Program (ANA) in Spanish children. This study used a quasi-experimental design that included a pre-test evaluation, 2 months of intervention, a post-test, and 3 months of follow-up. A sample of 330 children aged 7–12 years (M = 9.27; SD = 1.09) from third to sixth grade participated in the study. One hundred and fifty-nine were girls (48.2%). The program consisted of eight group sessions in which empathy, assertiveness, communication skills, conflict resolution, and group cohesion were worked on. The results showed statistically significant reductions in verbal abuse behaviors (t = 4.76, p < 0.001), direct social exclusion (t = 3.53, p < 0.001), threats (t = 2.04, p = 0.042), aggression with objects (t = 3.21, p < 0.001), and physical abuse (t = 4.41, p < 0.001). The differences were not statistically significant for indirect social exclusion behaviors (t = 1.86, p = 0.065) or cyberbullying (t = 0.31, p = 0.756). The effects in the reduction of the bullying behaviors decreased after the implementation of the program, achieving even greater reduction in victimization behaviors after 3 months than immediately after the end of the program. These results indicate that the ANA program is effective in reducing bullying behaviors in a group of children. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.

AbstractIn the Spanish monarchy, corporations, religious orders, and other petitioners kept procurators in Madrid to lobby the royal councils on their behalf. Drawing on an efficient network of information, the Madrid-based Jesuit procurators were known for their insistence on solving the financial and personnel needs of several missions throughout the New World. This article analyzes a series of petitions composed by Antonio Ruiz de Montoya in the late 1630s on behalf of Jesuit missions in Paraguay. These missions had been harassed by Portuguese slavers, who captured tens of thousands of natives in this region. Ruiz de Montoya's petitions reveal that the Jesuits’ lobbying actions had a much greater impact than has been assumed. Far from confining themselves to asking for material and human resources for the missions, the Jesuits proposed that the Spanish crown make a large-scale intervention in the administration of Portuguese domains in the South Atlantic, a program that Madrid would have implemented were it not for Portuguese independence in 1640.

Newly arrived Latino immigrants in South Carolina (SC), especially Latina mothers, experience many health related barriers including a general lack of health services information. The PASOs program, which means “steps” in Spanish, uses education, outreach, partnerships and advocacy to empower Latino families to utilize available health care services throughout SC. PASOs is a community-based program conducted by college trained bilingual/bicultural facilitators with the support from community health care workers (promotores de salud). Participants (n=523) were expectant mothers with an average age of 27 (SD=6) years, mostly from Mexico (69%), with an average of 9 (SD=4) years of education and 7 (SD=5) years living in the US.

Flamenquín is a traditional, prepared, frozen meat product from the south of Spain made with minced pork, chicken, and cooked ham. Since it is a prepared raw meat product some microbial hazards could be associated with the process of making it. Microbiological analyses have been performed throughout the various steps of processing over a 1-year period to evaluate microbial hazards in the commercial process. High levels of microorganisms were observed all through the processing of this product, the mincing and mixing steps being where major microbial contamination was observed. Pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa were detected during processing. Raw materials and food handlers were the principal sources of microbial contamination. A modification of processing to include a heating step after mincing and mixing and an improvement in hygiene practices could eliminate the microbial hazards. Both modifications should be noted for the implementation of a hazard analysis of critical control points (HACCP) program in commercial flamenquín processing.

The aim of this work is to know the use that students do of the learning strategies, seeing there are differences according to the national origin. To this end, it was applied the Learning Strategies Questionnaire (CEA) to 70 students –37 Spanish and 33 immigrants– of 1st and 4th grade of Secondary School from four different centers, publics and privates, located in Lugo (Galicia). For the statistic analysis we used the SPSS 15.0 program. Our results indicate that the students –Spanish and immigrants– show an adequate level in their use of the learning strategies, without significative differences registered in both groups. However, significative differences were found according to the gender. Specifically in the emotional control subscale, where the Spanish boys obtained a higher punctuation than immigrants. Moreover, if we consider the grade, we see that Spanish students of 1st grade achieve higher punctuations in the sensitization scale and emotional control subscale than immigrant boys of the same grade. On the other hand, although the immigrant students of 4th –males– obtain lower punctuations in the organization and transference subscales than their classmates of 1st grade, showing a greater emotional control.

Historians on both sides of the Atlantic have failed to appreciate the significance of Stuarts Town, Scotland's short-lived colony in Port Royal, South Carolina. This article challenges the current view that Stuarts Town was primarily a business venture, focusing, instead, on the religious impulses that lay just beneath the surface of the Carolina Company. These concerns came to the fore as presbyterian persecution intensified in 1683 and the colony was reimagined as a safe haven for the true church, where the saving remnant of God's people could escape the terrible judgments befalling Scotland and where the gospel would be secure. Its purpose was collective, corporate, social and historical. On the ground in Carolina, however, colonisers behaved more like imperialists than religious refugees. Like Scotland, the Anglo-Spanish borderland was a violent and unstable place that bred fear of displacement and enslavement, but unlike Scotland it lacked a centralised power, giving the Scots an opening to make their bid for empire. They moved aggressively into this power vacuum, seeking in particular to capitalise on the perceived weakness of Spanish Florida to extend their reach into coastal Georgia, the south-eastern interior and as far west as New Mexico. Their actions created great anxiety in the region and, although the collapse of the Stuart regime finally put an end to their hopes, their short-lived colony transformed the borderlands, reorienting English, Spanish and Indian relations, sparking the coalescence of the Yamasee tribe and the Creek confederacy, and giving new life to the Indian slave trade that eventually shattered indigenous societies in the American south-east.

Preparation and support programs for teacher trainees were instituted in South Australia in 1978. By that time, only thirteen Aboriginal/Islander people had ever graduated as teachers in South Australia. Since that time, and by the end of this year, over one hundred awards will have been completed in South Australia, eighty percent by people who had been prepared and enrolled through special entry preparation and support programs such as ATEP (Aboriginal Teacher Education Program) at Underdale and the Magill Early Childhood Education Program. Graduates now work across the range from pre-school to tertiary education. Around seventy percent of graduates are in classrooms, with another fifteen percent otherwise involved in education. Very few, if any, are employed.

AbstractThis essay, part history of ideas and part history of international relations, examines Brazil's relationship with Latin America in historical perspective. For more than a century after independence, neither Spanish American intellectuals nor Spanish American governments considered Brazil part of ‘América Latina’. For their part, Brazilian intellectuals and Brazilian governments only had eyes for Europe and increasingly, after 1889, the United States, except for a strong interest in the Río de la Plata. When, especially during the Cold War, the United States, and by extension the rest of the world, began to regard and treat Brazil as part of ‘Latin America’, Brazilian governments and Brazilian intellectuals, apart from some on the Left, still did not think of Brazil as an integral part of the region. Since the end of the Cold War, however, Brazil has for the first time pursued a policy of engagement with its neighbours – in South America.

The conventional wisdom regarding land reform in South Korea implemented by the United States Army Military Government in Korea (USAMGIK) is that it was a partial and short-term palliative driven by the exigent Communist threat and the free-land program adopted in North Korea. This article offers a new interpretation of the motives, process, and impact of the land reform program under the U.S. military occupation, highlighting three points. First, the United States was serious about conducting a land-to-tiller program because of its desire to stop Communism and pave the way for democracy in South Korea. Both goals were important. Second, the partial reform in March 1948 is explained by volatile political circumstances in South Korea: strong Communist activity at the beginning of the occupation and the rise of intransigent conservatives at the end. Third, the U.S.-sponsored land reform catalyzed further reform by the new South Korean government by setting a precedent and establishing guidelines for land redistribution parcel sizes, prices, and payment schedules.

South Africa had a small, highly classified nuclear weapons program that produced a small but potent nuclear arsenal. At the end of the 1980s, as South Africa was nearing a transition to black majority rule, the South African government destroyed its nuclear arsenal and its research facilities connected with nuclear armaments and ballistic missiles. This article, based on archival research in the United States and South Africa, shows that the South African nuclear weapons program has to be understood in the context of the Cold War battlefield that southern Africa became in the mid-1970s. The article illuminates the complex U.S.–South African relationship and explains why the apartheid government in Pretoria sought nuclear weapons as a deterrent in the face of extensive Soviet-bloc aid to black liberation movements in southern Africa, the escalating conflict with Cuban forces and Soviet-backed guerrillas on Namibia's northern frontier, and the attacks waged by the African National Congress from exile. A clear link can be drawn between the apartheid government's quest for a nuclear deterrent, liberation in southern Africa, and the Cold War.

Beach nourishment is a soft engineering technique that is used to combat coastal erosion. To assess the efficacy of a beach nourishment program on the northwest coast of Lord Howe Island, remotely coordinated drone-based monitoring was undertaken at Lagoon Beach. Specifically, hypotheses were tested that beach nourishment could increase the dune height and the width of the beach where the sand was translocated but would not have any long-term impacts on other parts of the beach. During the beach nourishment program, sand was translocated from the north end to the south end of Lagoon Beach, where it was deposited over 2800 m2. Lagoon Beach was monitored using a time series of 3D orthomosaics (2019–2021) based on orthorectified drone imagery. The data were then analysed using a robust before-after-control-impact (BACI) experimental design. Initially, a fully automated drone mapping program and permanent ground control points were set up. After this, a local drone pilot facilitated automated drone mapping for the subsequent times of sampling and transferred data to mainland researchers. As well as being more cost-effective, this approach allowed data collection to continue during Island closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic. After sand translocation, the south end of Lagoon Beach had a lower dune with more vegetation and a more expansive beach with a gentler slope than the prior arrangement. Overall, drone monitoring demonstrated the efficacy of the beach nourishment program on Lord Howe Island and highlighted the capacity for drones to deliver cost-effective data in locations that were difficult for researchers to access.

The Spanish Civil War played a unique role in the Soviet Union’s geo-political strategies in the second half of the 1930s. The conflict marked the first occasion that Moscow participated in a foreign war beyond its traditional spheres of influence. But Soviet involvement in the Spanish war went far beyond the sale of armor and aviation to the beleaguered Spanish Republic. While Moscow organized and supported the creation of the International Brigades, on the cultural front, the Soviets sought to roll out a broad program of propaganda, employing film, poster art and music to link the destinies of the Slavic and Hispanic peoples. If scholars have succeeded in recent years to rewrite the history of many components of Soviet participation in the Spanish Civil War, diplomatic relations between the Republic and Moscow remain an unexplored theme. This is the conclusion of a two-part article that explores declassified, unpublished official documents, as well as memoirs, newsreels, private letters and the press, to offer the first narrative history of the Republican embassy in Moscow. In part one, the diplomatic rapprochement between the USSR and Spain in 1933 was explored as a prelude to the exchange of ambassadors following the outbreak of the civil war in summer 1936. The posting of the young Spanish doctor Marcelino Pascua to a newly recreated Moscow embassy was then examined in detail, up to the end of summer 1937. In the second part, the successes, failures and denouement of Pascua’s mission are set against the backdrop of the Republic’s dwindling fortunes in the civil war.

Introduction In 2008, we initiated the first Guyanese comprehensive kidney replacement program, comprising hemodialysis (HD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), vascular access procedures, and living-donor kidney transplantation. The government of Guyana, US-based philanthropists, US-based physicians, and Guyanese caregivers teamed up to form a public–private partnership. This pilot program was free of cost to the patients. Methods From July 2010 to the time of writing, we placed 17 patients with end-stage kidney disease on PD, which was used as a bridge to living-donor kidney transplantation. During the same period, we placed 12 primary arteriovenous fistulae. Results The 17 patients who received a PD catheter had a mean age of 43.6 years and a mean follow-up of 5.3 months. In that group, 2 deaths occurred (from multi-organ failure) within 2 weeks of catheter placement, and 2 patients were switched to HD because of inadequate clearance. Technical issues were noted in 2 patients, and 3 patients developed peritonitis (treated with intravenous antibiotics). An exit- site abscess in 1 patient was drained under local anesthesia. The peritonitis rate was 0.36 episodes per patient–year. Of the 17 patients who received PD, 4 underwent living-donor kidney transplantation. Conclusions In Guyana, PD is a safe and cost-effective option; it may be equally suitable for similar developing countries. In Guyana, PD was used as a bridge to living-donor kidney transplantation. We have been able to sustain this program since 2008 by making incremental gains and nurturing the ongoing public– private partnership.

Overweight and obesity amongst childhood are currently global health issues. However, this is the best stage of life to prevent diseases and to promote healthy habits. In our study, we evaluate the effectiveness of the THAO Salud Infantil, a community-based intervention program, by means of a cross-sectional study carried out from 2009 to 2019 surveying children aged 3 to 12 years old (n = 27,686). During the study timeframe, overweight and obesity prevalence, according to both the International Obesity Task Force and Orbegozo Foundation criteria, showed a downward trend. Differences in the anthropometric variables were observed from the beginning to the end of the study, mainly in girls. Analysis of the influence of the socioeconomic status revealed that children from families with lower incomes are in greater risk of suffering from overweight and obesity and showed lower effectiveness of the actions proposed by the program. The overall results of the study confirmed the effectiveness of community-based interventions in terms of childhood overweight/obesity prevention.

There seems to be an obvious contradiction in the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC). Whereas Article III reasonably requests restriction of transfer of biological warfare (BW) and toxin warfare (TW) agents, equipment, and means of delivery, Article X not less reasonably calls for peaceful international cooperation in microbiology. This contradiction became especially obvious in the late 1980s, for two reasons: (1) regional conflicts increased as one of the consequences of the peaceful end of the Cold War, with a corresponding increase in the threat of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and (2) the technology gap between North and South continued to expand, not least as a direct consequence of the rapid development of molecular biotechnology in industrialized countries.

Avocado and maize are New World crops that were brought by Spanish conquistadors and explorers from the New World to Europe from the end of the 15th and into the 16th centuries. Soon after, the Europeans themselves started to grow these crops and consume their produce, but retained their indigenous names. The term maize comes from Taíno language that was spoken in the Antilles. Avocado is a term borrowed from nahuatl which was spoken in Mexico. The loanwords discussed in this article passed from the New World to Southern Europe and from the south to the north of the continent. The aim of this paper is to explore these loanwords in Icelandic and other European languages.

An evaluative study of the Creative Thinking Program for the preschoolers in Kwang-Ju, South Korea, was carried out using a control group, pre-post measurement, and multiple outcome measures. The purpose of this investigation was to find out whether the program focused on the creative thinking abilities will 1) develop and maintain the creative abilities through creative thinking activities 2) enhance the creative characteristics, and 3) enhance the intellectual functioning for the preschool gifted and average youngsters. The program was focused on the creative thinking abilities for the 12 weeks. The subjects were 80 preschoolers. They were divided into four groups: Two groups of 40 preschoolers were experimental groups, the others were control groups. Then, the experimental groups of 40 preschoolers were consisted of high and average ability groups in terms of their intellectual abilities. The creative thinking activities were given to the 40 experimental subjects. No treatment was given to the control group. It was found that on a general test of cognitive ability and creative abilities of originality, imagination, and fluency, program participants exhibited significantly higher gains than did controls, and participants increased the creative attitudes of their kindergarten life more highly at the end of the program. The study lends support to the benefits of Creative Thinking Programs.

Based on Law Number 40 of 2009 concerning Youth, the youth category is 16 to 30 years old. In the 2021 BPS, the number of youths in South Sumatra reached 359,151. Youth development is carried out in order to improve the spirit of leadership, entrepreneurship, and youth pioneering so that, in the end, it can produce advanced youth, namely youth with character, capacity, and competitiveness (Heri, 2015). The purpose of this research is to explain the Implementation of the Inter-Country Youth Exchange Program at the South Sumatra Dispora related to HR Development as an effort to Build Youth Character in South Sumatra. The results showed that participants who received program benefits admitted that they did not receive optimal benefits. In addition, some parts of the activity did not run optimally because they were only virtual. The beneficiaries also stated that they could not accept the opportunity for internships. This is different from the beneficiaries of the program in the normal era. Another finding is that the PPAN program has not been optimally socialized in all districts and cities. A letter of notification regarding the PPAN program from the Ministry of Youth and Sports addressed to the Provincial Dispora, which was then forwarded to the district or city Dispora regarding the selection of the PPAN program, did not reach the sub district, village, or kelurahan. Because the district or city Dispora has not optimally escorted it to the sub-districts because there is no socialization budget yet.

This article aims to describe the results of a Haitian Creole language acquisition program, looking to foster intercultural communicative competence among Chilean officers, and favor migrant inclusion. The program, based on the intercultural communicative competence, had a duration of 50 hours, beginning with three sessions that present what the migration process means, the country of origin of the migrants, delivered by migrants, who then become linguistic mediators, and several linguistic aspects of Spanish and Haitian Creole languages. Data on the results of the program were collected through an interview and a language skills test, administered to the participants, to officers from the Investigation Police, and to health care practitioners, at the end of its implementation. The results show that the program favors the link between individuals from different cultural backgrounds, since it relies upon the exchange of participants having equally valued knowledge, and promotes the participation of learners in managing their learning and anticipating the context they will face. This facilitates the inclusion of migrant people, speaking a different language from that of the host society, which gives them a greater likelihood to successfully insert themselves in labor, educational and cultural settings.

This study delves into the importance and consequences of gratitude promotion programs for South Korean college students. It uses meta-analyses to evaluate the effects of such programs on this demographic, shedding light on their significance and implications. To that end, we selected 11 papers in which 683 persons participated as study subjects, analyzing them using the PRISMA methodology. We observed an overall effect size of 0.6671, categorized as above medium. The effect sizes of the sub-areas were cognitive (d = 1.37), emotional (d = 0.60), and behavioral (d = 0.77), with the cognitive area exhibiting the largest effect size. When categorized by program type, the effect size (d = 0.85) for the program involving gratitude practice and gratitude recording surpassed the effect size (d = 0.77) of the programs where participants solely engaged in gratitude recording. According to program execution durations, the largest effect size (d = 1.61) appeared in the group that executed the program for the longest period of at least 16 weeks. This study highlights the areas where gratitude promotion programs for college students prove to be most effective. These findings offer valuable insights for tailoring and developing gratitude promotion programs in the future.

Abstract. The objectives of the BIOSOPE (BIogeochemistry and Optics SOuth Pacific Experiment) project was to study, during the austral summer, the biological, biogeochemical and bio-optical properties of different trophic regimes in the South East Pacific: the eutrophic zone associated with the upwelling regime of the Chilean coast, he mesotrophic area associated with the plume of the Marquises Islands in the HNLC (High Nutrient Low Chlorophyll) waters of this subequatorial area, and the extremely oligotrophic area associated with the central part of the South Pacific Gyre (SPG). At the end of 2004, a 55-day international cruise with 32 scientists on board took place between Tahiti and Chile, crossing the SPG along a North-West South-East transect. This paper describes in detail the objective of the BIOSOPE project, the implementation plan of the cruise, the main hydrological entities encountered along the ~8000 km South East pacific transect and ends with a general overview of the papers published in this Biogeosciences special issue.

This study was designed to develop monitoring techniques based on aerial survey and to evaluate the effectiveness of control methods for large feral herbivores (especially goats) in the mulga woodlands. It was conducted on a study site in south-western Queensland encompassing Currawinya National Park. Two control programs were undertaken on the park: a ground-based shooting program and a two-stage live-muster and aerial culling program. Population estimates of feral goats based on 100 m strip counts from a fixed-wing aircraft were 4.6/km2 for the survey block for the initial survey with a decline to less than 2/km2 by the end of the project. It was concluded that fixed-wing aerial surveys provide an accurate estimate of the density of large feral herbivores, such as goats. The first control program, based on ground-based shooting, was of only limited success. The second control program, based on contract mustering with the aid of fixed-wing aircraft followed by aerial culling using a helicopter, was very successful in reducing the number of feral goats and other feral animals. This approach represents best practice management of feral goats in the mulga woodlands. The effect of the reduction in goat numbers on goat impact within the park is yet to be evaluated.

The aim of this study was to learn how the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) program in rural schools of a Southern European country offers opportunities to children, helps parents to get information and creates links with families and neighbours. The methodology was qualitative, with deep interviews with teachers, principals, parents and students from five Spanish rural schools. Among the findings, we observed that schools have new opportunities to link with communities and to communicate with parents when the curriculum is open and narrative. The shortcomings of policies, the academic role of projects and the resistance and prejudice of parents are preventing a better rapport between schools and communities in their fight against exclusion.

AbstractThis study explores the range and diversity of the typological features of Mandarin, the largest dialect group within the Sinitic branch of the Sino-Tibetan family. Feeding the typological data of 42 Sinitic varieties into the phylogenetic program NeighborNet, we obtained network diagrams suggesting a north-south divide in the Mandarin dialect group, where dialects within the Amdo Sprachbund cluster at one end and those in the Far Southern area cluster at the other end, highlighting the impact of language contact on the typological profiles of various Mandarin dialects.

AbstractGrain-size analyses, coupled with end-member modelling, have been performed on the terrigenous fraction of two Leg 184 Ocean Drilling Program sites (1144 and 1146) from the South China Sea. The grain-size distributions over the last 1.8 Ma enable a new interpretation of their connections to sea-level variations and East Asian monsoon strength. Previous investigations in this area have associated grain-size variability with enhanced eolian input during glacial stages. End-member modelling downgrades the importance of this eolian contribution and indicates that the sediments can be described as a mixture of three end-members: fluvial mud inputs, shelf reworking and river mouth migration. Grain-size variations in the Pleistocene section of the cores indicate a multiple-stage evolution: (i) from 1.8 to 1.25 Ma, the downcore grain-size variations are low but show a correspondence between monsoon rainfall intensity and the fine grain-sized fluvial inputs; no link with sea-level variations is noticeable; (ii) from 1.25 to 0.9 Ma, there is an increase (decrease) in the intermediate (fine) end-member (∼ 100 kyr cycle) that is associated with the onset of a stronger summer monsoon and modest shelf reworking; (iii) from 0.9 to 0 Ma the grain-size record is dominated by global sea-level variations; each glacial stage is associated with extensive shelf reworking and conveyance of coarse particles to the basin.

This is an empirical study which aims to examine the profile of Spanish university students in bilingual degree programs that employ English as a medium of instruction by utilizing the bilingual section of the teaching degree course at the University of Granada as a sample. To this end, a questionnaire was applied to 216 students. While 75% of the students reported having problems when following a bilingual class, these difficulties were found to diminish or disappear after the first trimester. The majority of the students (70%) were satisfied with the program offered but they also detected some deficiencies, which provided a basis for various suggestions as to how university bilingual programs might be improved.
