El objetivo de este trabajo fue recabar información sobre el perfil sociodemográfico del adolescente usuario de sustancias que acude a centros de atención primaria en adicciones del estado de Aguascalientes. Se realizó un estudio ex post facto; se revisaron 146 expedientes de julio de 2012 hasta agosto de 2013; se incluyeron adolescentes de entre 12 y 19 años que solicitaron atención. Los resultados indican que los adolescentes consumidores que recibieron tratamiento tienen en promedio 15 años de edad; hombres en su mayoría (68.49%); e inician el consumo a los 13 años. La sustancia principal de consumo es el alcohol (41.30% en mujeres y 36% en hombres), y enseguida sobresale la marihuana (26% en mujeres y 33% en hombres). Respecto a su contexto familiar y social, la mayoría de los jóvenes tienen familiares consumidores de alguna sustancia adictiva; gran parte de ellos no se encuentra trabajando (77.4%), y la escolaridad en más del 50% es de secundaria. Las principales situaciones de consumo son: situaciones que él busca, y en segundo lugar situaciones inesperadas. Estos resultados son muy útiles para ampliar la información relevante sobre las características de los adolescentes consumidores de sustancias, de tal manera que se puedan identificar posibles adecuaciones a los tratamientos específicos que son ofrecidos en los centros de atención especializados para esta población, con el fin de aumentar la eficacia en los resultados.

Protecting the environment is one of the main challenges of modern society. To this aim, especially in recent years, the European Union (EU) has approved legislation establishing the environmental standards that must be met by medicinal products for human and veterinary use, in order to be registered by the regulatory agencies. To minimize as far as possible negative impacts on the environment, the Pharmaceutical Industry has provided a management system exclusively for both empty pharmaceutical packaging and that still containing medicines accumulated in Spanish homes. The Integrated System of Management and Collection of Packaging Waste (SIGRE) in the Pharmaceutical Industry is a non-profit organization created for the collection and management of pharmaceutical waste accumulated by citizens in their homes.This study has carried out a pilot project by monitoring the pharmaceutical packaging deposited by the population in containers at two Pharmacies located in the town of Coslada in Madrid. A literature review was also conducted of the ecotoxicological effects of the therapeutic groups most frequently found in the SIGRE containers in this study. ; La protección del medio ambiente es uno de los principales retos de la sociedad actual. Con este objetivo a lo largo de los últimos años, la Unión Europea (UE) ha ido aprobando normativas que establecen normas de carácter medioambiental que deben cumplir los medicamentos de uso humano y veterinario para su registro por las agencias reguladoras. Para reducir al máximo posibles impactos negativos sobre el medio ambiente, la industria farmacéutica ha constituido un sistema de gestión exclusivo para los envases de medicamentos, vacíos o con restos, que se generan en los domicilios españoles. El Sistema Integrado de Gestión y Recogida de Envases (SIGRE) del sector farmacéutico, es una entidad sin ánimo de lucro creada para la recogida y gestión de los residuos de medicamentos que los ciudadanos generan.En este trabajo se ha llevado a cabo un estudio piloto sobre los envases depositados por la población en dos oficinas de farmacia situadas en la localidad de Coslada en Madrid, realizando una revisión bibliográfica de los efectos ecotoxicológicos de los grupos terapéuticos más frecuentemente encontrados en los depósitos SIGRE en este estudio. ; A proteção do meio ambiente é um dos principais desafios da sociedade atual.

Para minimizar ao máximo possíveis impactos negativos sobre o meio ambiente a indústria farmacêutica desenvolveu um sistema de gestão para embalagens de medicamentos, vazias ou com restos, que são originados nos lares espanhóis. O Sistema Integrado de Gestão e Recolha de Embalagens (SIGRE) do sector farmacêutico é uma organização sem fins lucrativos criada para a recolha e gestão de resíduos de medicamentos gerados pelos cidadãos.Neste trabalho desenvolveu-se um estudo piloto sobre as embalagens depositadas pela população em duas farmácias localizadas na localidade de Coslada em Madrid realizando-se uma revisão bibliográfica dos efeitos ecotoxicológicos dos grupos terapêuticos mais frequentemente encontrados nos depósitos SIGRES deste estudo.

Background: Student participation and the use of active methodologies in classroom learning are being increasingly emphasized. The use of intelligent systems can be of great help when designing and developing these types of activities. Recently, emerging disciplines such as 'educational data mining' and 'learning analytics and knowledge' have provided clear examples of the importance of the use of artificial intelligence techniques in education. Objective: The main objective of this study was to gather expert opinions regarding the benefits of using complementary methods that are supported by intelligent systems, specifically, by intelligent information access systems, when processing texts written in natural language and the benefits of using these methods as companion tools to the learning activities that are employed by biomedical and health sciences teachers. Methods: Eleven teachers of degree courses who belonged to the Faculties of Biomedical Sciences (BS) and Health Sciences (HS) of a Spanish university in Madrid were individually interviewed. These interviews were conducted using a mixed methods questionnaire that included 66 predefined close-ended and open-ended questions. In our study, three intelligent information access systems (i.e., BioAnnote, CLEiM and MedCMap) were successfully used to evaluate the teacher's perceptions regarding the utility of these systems and their different methods in learning activities. Results: All teachers reported using active learning methods in the classroom, most of which were computer programs that were used for initially designing and later executing learning activities. All teachers used case-based learning methods in the classroom, with a specific emphasis on case reports written in Spanish and/or English. In general, few or none of the teachers were familiar with the technical terms related to the technologies used for these activities such as "intelligent systems" or "concept/mental maps". However, they clearly realized the potential applicability of such approaches in both the preparation and the effective use of these activities in the classroom. Specifically, the themes highlighted by a greater number of teachers after analyzing the responses to the open-ended questions were the usefulness of BioAnnote system to provide reliable sources of medical information and the usefulness of the bilingual nature of CLEiM system for learning medical terminology in English. Conclusions: Three intelligent information access systems were successfully used to evaluate the teacher's perceptions regarding the utility of these systems in learning activities. The results of this study showed that integration of reliable sources of information, bilingualism and selective annotation of concepts were the most valued features by the teachers, who also considered the incorporation of these systems into learning activities to be potentially very useful. In addition, in the context of our experimental conditions, our work provides useful insights into the way to appropriately integrate this type of intelligent information access systems into learning activities, revealing key themes to consider when developing such approaches. ; Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) (TIN-2013-47153-C03-0X, X=1, 2, 3) and the Regional Government of Madrid under the Research Network MA2VICMR (S2009/TIC-1542). ; 2.731 JCR (2018) Q2, 57/155 Computer Science, Information Systems, 28/98 Health Care Science & Services, 11/26 Medical Informatics ; 0.960 SJR (2018) Q1, 10/163 Health Informatics ; No data IDR 2018 ; UEM
