Resumen: Este artículo realiza una aproximación a las necesidades de viviendas en España en el periodo 2014-2021, a partir de la evolución demográfica de los hogares españoles. Utilizando como ...metodología la Tasa de Persona de Referencia se realiza una estimación del número de hogares como unidad básica de demanda potencial. También se realiza una aproximación de los hogares con segunda vivienda e inmuebles de no residentes. Los resultados muestran una disminución progresiva del saldo de nuevos hogares que afectarán al mercado de la vivienda y supondrá, la práctica paralización del mercado inmobiliario en amplias zonas del territorio.
Introduction: This paper analyses those interpersonal skills which determine the entrepreneurial profile among students in Tourism Higher Education. We aim to verify if there are significant ...differences by gender diagnosis and to take this into account for future academic curriculums. Method: A survey was conducted with the students of Tourism at the University of Cordoba (Spain); we have studied the interpersonal skills related to entrepreneurship and several socio-demographic and education moderating variables. For data analysis, we have developed logit regression models about entrepreneurial intention by gender. Results: The results show that women have more discipline and responsibility than men, hitch is fundamental for start-ups; but in opposition to this, women have a lower propensity towards entrepreneurship and it has not been perceived significant competences connected to the risk or initiative. Conclusion: It is deduced from the paper that some educational strategies since childhood could be discouraging this kind of attitude. We outline the need for developing specific education policies for female students at different educational levels, in order to promote the skills linked to entrepreneurship.

BACKGROUND:CXCR3A-associated chemokines (CXCL9-11) are implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. We analyzed the association between CXCL9-11 polymorphisms and significant ...liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/HCV-coinfected patients.
METHODS:We performed a cross-sectional study in 220 patients who were genotyped for CXCL9-11 polymorphisms (CXCL9 rs10336, CXCL10 rs3921, and CXCL11 rs4619915) using GoldenGate assay. Three outcome variables related to liver fibrosis were studied(1) F ≥ 2; (2) APRI ≥ 2; and (3) FIB-4 ≥ 3.25.
RESULTS:The percentage of patients with significant liver fibrosis (F ≥ 2, APRI ≥ 2, and FIB-4 ≥ 3.25) was significantly higher for CXCL9 rs10336 TT (P = 0.046, P = 0.010, and P = 0.046, respectively), CXCL10 rs3921 GG (P = 0.046, P = 0.011, and P = 0.049, respectively), and CXCL11 rs4619915 AA (P = 0.035, P = 0.014, and P = 0.057, respectively) genotypes. Moreover, the greater likelihood of having significant liver fibrosis (F ≥ 2, APRI ≥ 2, and FIB-4 ≥ 3.25) was found in carriers of CXCL9 rs10336 TT and CXCL10 rs3921 GG adjusted odds ratio (aOR) > 2 (P < 0.05). These trends were significantly more pronounced in patients infected with HCV-genotype 1 (GT1) aOR > 3 (P < 0.05). Moreover, TGA haplotype showed higher odds for having values of APRI ≥ 2 (aOR = 2.4; P = 0.012) when we considered all patients. This elevated risk for significant liver fibrosis was better represented in patients infected with HCV-GT1, where TGA haplotype had increased odds for having values of F ≥ 2 (aOR = 1.9; P = 0.045), APRI ≥ 2 (aOR = 3.2; P = 0.009), and FIB-4 ≥ 3.25 (aOR = 3.3; P = 0.026).
CONCLUSIONS:The homozygosity for the minor alleles CXCL9 rs10336 (T), CXCL10 rs3921 (G), and CXCL11 rs4619915 (A) is associated with the higher likelihood of significant liver fibrosis in HIV-infected patients coinfected with HCV-GT1.

Flamenco is one of the most distinctive cultural products in the world and a hallmark of traditional Andalusian culture. The purpose of the research is to analyze how the artistic and cultural ...expressions influence in the image of a country abroad, from the point of view of cultural tourism. In particular, we focus on Flamenco as a driver of the image of Spain outside our borders, ie the "Brand Spain". For this, a study was carry out with foreign tourists in the city of Córdoba, whereby, results allowed discover the motivations that drive tourists to travel to Spain, studying whether knowledge of flamenco is among them. On the other hand, it is pretended to analyze whether their opinion on the Flamenco before coming to visit our country is modified when they know personally Flamenco as artistic expression. The research results showed us that the tourist knows flamenco, and they have heard about it, although they have some doubts about the Spanish stereotypes. Flamenco is not decisive for travel to Spain, but it is conditioning, so it does influence in their decision to visit our country. Flamenco should be enhanced beyond our borders as a tourist attraction, driven as one of the icons or signs of identity of our country.
El flamenco es uno de los productos culturales más característicos del mundo y una seña de identidad de la cultura tradicional y popular andaluza. El propósito de la investigación es analizar cómo influyen las expresiones artísticas y culturales en la imagen que tiene un país en el exterior, desde el punto de vista del turismo cultural. En concreto, nos centramos en el flamenco como impulsor de la imagen de España fuera de nuestras fronteras, es decir, de la “Marca España”. Para ello, se realizó un estudio a turistas extranjeros en la ciudad de Córdoba, mediante el cual, se obtuvieron resultados que permitieron descubrir cuáles son las motivaciones que impulsan al turista a viajar a España, estudiando si el conocimiento del flamenco se encuentra entre ellas. Por otro lado, se pretendía analizar si la opinión que tienen sobre el flamenco antes de venir a visitar nuestro país es modificada una vez que conocen personalmente el flamenco como expresión artística. Los resultados de la investigación nos mostraron que el turista conoce el flamenco, ha oído hablar sobre él, aunque invaden algunas dudas relacionadas con los estereotipos españoles. El flamenco no es determinante para viajar a España, pero sí es condicionante, por lo que sí le influye en su decisión de visitar nuestro país. El flamenco debería ser potenciado fuera de nuestras fronteras como un atractivo turístico y como uno de los iconos o signos de identidad de nuestro país.
The cytokine profile plays an important role in treatment outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and probably modulates the immune response against HCV. The aim of this study was to evaluate ...which cytokines affect the response to interferon-α (IFN-α) and ribavirin therapy and how these cytokines change 72 weeks after starting anti-HCV therapy in HIV/HCV-coinfected patients.
We carried out a retrospective follow-up study of 65 patients on anti-HCV therapy. A sustained virological response (SVR) was defined as an undetectable HCV viral load up to 24 weeks after the end of treatment. Cytokines were measured using a multiplex immunoassay kit.
On starting anti-HCV therapy, non-responder (NR) patients had higher levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-9, IL-10 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α (P < 0.05), while IL-17A levels were increased in SVR patients (P = 0.058). However, only patients with high levels of IL-6 and IL-9 had decreased odds to achieve SVR (P < 0.05). Plasma levels of IL-6 and IL-9 had a high predictive value for SVR failure area under the ROC curve (AUC) 0.839 (95% CI 0.733-0.945) and AUC 0.769 (95% CI 0.653-0.884). In addition, during anti-HCV therapy, IL-1β showed an increase in NR patients (P = 0.015) and IL-10 decreased in SVR patients (P = 0.049). After clearing HCV infection, low levels of TNF-α, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, IL-13 and IL-22 were found in SVR patients (P < 0.05), as well as IL-1β, but only near statistical significance (P = 0.073).
High plasma levels of IL-6 and IL-9 had a high predictive value for SVR failure. Furthermore, clearing of HCV infection was associated with low inflammatory and T helper (Th)2/Th9/Th22 cytokine levels.
