Background: Health care professionals, and nurses especially among them, play an essential role in the health sector response to Gender Based Violence. To be able to successfully address this major ...public health issue they need specific training in the topic. Therefore, the World Health Organization as well as Spanish institutions and policies, strongly recommend the inclusion of this topic in nursing undergraduate programmes. This study aims to assess how this recommendation has been implemented in the nursing undergraduate programmes offered in all Spanish universities.
Methods: A systematic review of each subjects’ study guide of the 91 nurse education programmes existing in Spain was conducted searching for the term “violence” to include references under different terminology as “violence against women”, “gender based violence” or “intimate partner violence”.
Results: Sixty-nine out of the ninety-one nurse education programmes taught in Spain have contents related to violence. Thirty-eight grades included Gender Based Violence in the content of one subject, 21 in two, eight in three and two in four. Only three programmes had a specific subject named “Nursing in Gender Based Violence”. Otherwise, gender violence was part of subjects mainly related with gender and culture (22%), psychology (20%), public health (20%) and women’s health (13%). When analysing results by Autonomous Region, four out of seventeen were found to have gender based violence included in all the grades offered in their area, while two had not any training in the topic. In the remaining regions inclusion varied between these two poles.
Conclusions: Gender Based Violence has been included in a great percentage of the nursing undergraduate education programmes taught in Spain. Assessing the effect this undergraduate training has on nurses’ response to gender based violence as well as differences in the effect depending on the training programme becomes a challenge for the next years.
Key messages:
Most of the Spanish universities have included training in Gender Based Violence in their nurse education programmes, which might positively affect the Health Sector's response to this health issue.
Assessing the effect these different undergraduate training programmes have on nurses’ response to Gender Based Violence becomes a challenge for the next years.
Background Neonatal diabetes is a rare disease characterized by hyperglycaemia within the first 3 months of life and requiring insulin treatment; it can either be transient (TNDM) or permanent ...(PNDM). Alterations at band 6q24 and heterozygous activating mutations in KCNJ11, the gene encoding the pore‐forming subunit of the KATP channel, can cause neonatal diabetes.
Aims We screened the 6q24 region, KCNJ11, GCK, FOXP3 and IPF1 genes for mutations in families with PNDM or TNDM to establish a phenotype–genotype correlation.
Methods Twenty‐two patients with neonatal diabetes were recruited. Inclusion criteria were insulin‐treated diabetes diagnosed within the first 3 months and insulin treatment for at least 15 days. Clinical data were recorded in a questionnaire.
Results We identified 17 genetic alterations in our patients: six alterations at the 6q24 band associated with TNDM and nine mutations in KCNJ11, five of which were novel. The analysis for a phenotype–genotype correlation showed that patients with 6q24 alterations had a lower birth weight and were diagnosed earlier than patients with KCNJ11 mutations. At follow‐up of the TNDM patients with genetic alterations, 43% developed diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance in later life (one with 6q24 duplication and two with N48D and E227K mutations at KCNJ11 gene). Furthermore, half the first‐degree relatives who carried a genetic alteration but who had not suffered from neonatal diabetes were diagnosed with diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance before the age of 30 years.
Conclusions KCNJ11 mutations are common in both TNDM and PNDM and are associated with a higher birth weight compared with patients with 6q24 abnormalities. Patients with TNDM should be screened for abnormalities in glucose metabolism in adult life.
We present Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of the high mass X-ray binary LS I +61°303, carried out with the European VLBI Network (EVN). Over the 11 hour observing run, ...performed ~10 days after a radio outburst, the radio source showed a constant flux density, which allowed sensitive imaging of the emission distribution. The structure in the map shows a clear extension to the southeast. Comparing our data with previous VLBI observations we interpret the extension as a collimated radio jet as found in several other X-ray binaries. Assuming that the structure is the result of an expansion that started at the onset of the outburst, we derive an apparent expansion velocity of 0.003 c, which, in the context of Doppler boosting, corresponds to an intrinsic velocity of at least 0.4 c for an ejection close to the line of sight. From the apparent velocity in all available epochs we are able to establish variations in the ejection angle which imply a precessing accretion disk. Finally we point out that LS I +61°303, like SS 433 and Cygnus X-1, shows evidence for an emission region almost orthogonal to the relativistic jet.

Hyperfine Structure Fitting (HfS) is a tool to fit the hyperfine structure of spectral lines with multiple velocity components. The HfS_nh3 procedures included in HfS simultaneously fit the hyperfine ...structure of the NH3 (J, K) = (1, 1) and (2, 2) transitions, and perform a standard analysis to derive T ex , NH3 column density, T rot , and T k . HfS uses a Monte Carlo approach for fitting the line parameters. Special attention is paid to the derivation of the parameter uncertainties. HfS includes procedures that make use of parallel computing for fitting spectra from a data cube.
Context. Submillimeter Array (SMA) 870 μm polarization observations of the hot molecular core G31.41+0.31 revealed one of the clearest examples up to date of an hourglass-shaped magnetic field ...morphology in a high-mass star-forming region. Aims. To better establish the role that the magnetic field plays in the collapse of G31.41+0.31, we carried out Atacama Large Millimeter/ submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of the polarized dust continuum emission at 1.3 mm with an angular resolution four times higher than that of the previous (sub)millimeter observations to achieve an unprecedented image of the magnetic field morphology. Methods. We used ALMA to perform full polarization observations at 233 GHz (Band 6). The resulting synthesized beam is 0′′.28×0′′.20 which, at the distance of the source, corresponds to a spatial resolution of ~875 au. Results. The observations resolve the structure of the magnetic field in G31.41+0.31 and allow us to study the field in detail. The polarized emission in the Main core of G31.41+0.41is successfully fit with a semi-analytical magnetostatic model of a toroid supported by magnetic fields. The best fit model suggests that the magnetic field is well represented by a poloidal field with a possible contribution of a toroidal component of ~10% of the poloidal component, oriented southeast to northwest at approximately −44° and with an inclination of approximately −45°. The magnetic field is oriented perpendicular to the northeast to southwest velocity gradient detected in this core on scales from 103 to 104 au. This supports the hypothesis that the velocity gradient is due to rotation of the core and suggests that such a rotation has little effect on the magnetic field. The strength of the magnetic field estimated in the central region of the core with the Davis–Chandrasekhar-Fermi method is ~8–13 mG and implies that the mass-to-flux ratio in this region is slightly supercritical. Conclusions. The magnetic field in G31.41+0.31 maintains an hourglass-shaped morphology down to scales of <1000 au. Despite the magnetic field being important in G31.41+0.31, it is not enough to prevent fragmentation and collapse of the core, as demonstrated by the presence of at least four sources embedded in the center of the core.
