The influence of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has been widely spread over the last years, establishing new public and privat policies. Education has also been experiencing this change by ...aligning with the previous goals. In this chapter, we briefly summarize the main activities conducted under the Grant APS22.2003 'Service-based learning of the SDGs related to a responsible production and consumption (A-BASE-DE-PROS)', which uses the SDG 12 as a guide line to raise the awareness of the importance of the 2030 Agenda among undergraduate and secondary-school students. In general, the service-based learning has increased the knowledge of the SDGs among the students. Furthermore, most of the (university and secondary) students found the service-learning
Collection methods and e-commerce impact the relationship between input and output customers and the electronics recycling center operations. We explore how collection options and e-commerce affect ...the arrival rates of returned products and the implications for strategic and operational decisions at electronics recycling centers.
Objetivos: Describir el perfil del paciente oncológico atendido en el servicio de urgencias
de un hospital terciario, los motivos de consulta y su manejo clínico.
Método: Desde octubre de 2007 a ...marzo de 2008, se recogieron las características de
estos pacientes junto con los motivos de consulta y el manejo clínico de los pacientes
oncológicos en el servicio de urgencias.
Resultados: Se atendieron un total de 251 pacientes (12 pacientes/semana): 65 pacientes
padecían cáncer de pulmón (25,9%), 47 padecían cáncer colorrectal (18,7%), y
32 cáncer de mama (12,7%). De todos ellos, 185 tenían enfermedad metastásica
(73,7%) y 133 recibían tratamiento quimioterápico (52,9%). Los motivos de consulta
más frecuentes fueron fiebre en 46 casos (18,3%), dolor relacionado con el tumor en
39 casos (15,5%), disnea en 36 casos (14,3%) y náuseas-vómitos en 28 casos (11,2%).
Tras la atención urgente, 121 pacientes precisaron ingreso hospitalario (48,2%).
Conclusiones: Los pacientes metastáticos y aquellos que están en tratamiento activo
son los pacientes oncológicos que más demandan atención urgente y casi la mitad precisan
ingreso hospitalario.
Engineering solutions are widely used for the mitigation of flood and erosion risks and have new challenges because of the expected effects induced by climate change in particular sea level rise and ...increase of storminess.
This chapter describes both active methods of mitigation based on the reduction of the incident wave energy, such as the use of wave energy converters, floating breakwaters and artificial reefs, and passive methods, consisting of increase in overtopping resistance of dikes, improvement of resilience of breakwaters against failures, and the use of beach nourishment as well as tailored dredging operations.
