¿Por qué los mosquitos prefieren picar a algunas personas?





HEADLINE:  ¿Por qué los mosquitos prefieren picar a algunas personas?

DATE OF PUBLICATION:  24-04-2015 (18:06h)
SCIENTIFIC AREA: genetic

SUMMARY:
In this news we try to answer the great questions that many people have on the fact that mosquitoes biting always the same people of so many in one place.

GLOSSARY:

Hayazgo: Reward which is given to someone by having found something and return it to its owner or give notice of this.

Dengue: Epidemic and contagious, febrile disease manifested by pains of members and a similar to the scarlet fever rash.

 

CRITICAL ASSESSMENT:

Mucha gente sobre todo aquellas que sufren mas picadas en verano se preguntan constantemente porque son ellas las atacades de entre todas las personas. La respuesta  a ello es sencilla, los mosquitos acuden a todas esas personas que tienen un olor que les guste para poder morder. Estan buscando el fármaco indicado para que todas esas personas dejen de sufrir esas picadas y toda su descendencia, ya que las personas que son atacadas suele ser genético y por tanto se va pasando de un familiar a otro. Muchas de las personas afectadas están muy orgullosas de eso ya que en poco tiempo podrán disfrutar de unas grandes vacaciones sin depender ni pensar en que beber y tomar para no llamar la atención de los mosquitos. Por lo tanto, poder encontrar la solución evitara muchas de las enfermedades que producen sobre todo en esos pueblos menos desarrollados que no tienen tanta facilidad para evitar esas alergias o reacciones. Pero también hay que mencionar que si es una cosa genética será mucho mas difícil parar eso que no tanto poder evitar las grandes reacciones. Por lo tanto esos estudios han de ser realmente eficaces para romper con esa tradición de picar a las mismas personas.

NOTICIA NUM.11
TITULAR: Un neandertal en la universidad
FECHA: 17 ABRIL 2015
ÁMBITO CIENTÍFICO:  ANTROPOLOGÍA
RESUMEN:
Researchers at the University of Barcelona ( UB ) have presented this morning at the Aula Magna of the center , in an atmosphere worthy of Professor Challenger of The Lost World , fossil 55,000 years old found in the cave of Giant Sitges ( Garraf ) , one end of the seafront site that must access with caving techniques. They are two separate pieces -the right side of the jaw with teeth , a milk- and -the left humerus, inferiorly part belonging to a child Neanderthal (Homo neanderthaliensis ) between five and seven years old. The cave, which then several miles inland was , was alternately refuge for Neanderthals.
The researchers do not rule out the bones belong actually two individuals but the proximity that have appeared and matching anatomical (aged four years and a half and five years jaw and five to seven humerus) suggests that are the same child. Scholars qualify fossils " the clearest evidence of this species in Catalonia" and remember that so far all of Neanderthal remains found in Catalonia were the result of isolated , casual or old excavations findings , apart from the rest more popular, the jaw of Banyoles, 45,000 or 50,000 years , discusses if indeed corresponds to the species or a modern human .

GLOSARIO:
-Yacimiento puede referirse a:
Una concentración significativa de materiales o elementos interesantes para alguna ciencia:
Yacimiento geológico: Una acumulación significativa de materiales geológicos, (minerales, gases, petróleo, etc.).
Yacimiento arqueológico: Concentración de restos arqueológicos.
Yacimiento paleontológico: Lugar donde se hallan restos fósiles.
-Espeleología: ciencia cuyo objeto es la exploración y estudio de las cavidades subterráneas.
-Tomografía: Procesamiento de imágenes por secciones. Un aparato usado en tomografía es llamado tomógrafo, mientras que la imagen producida es un tomograma.

VALORACIÓN:
Thanks to this discovery scientists can investigate further the men of that time , their characteristics, how they lived , etc ..

This is one of the very few Neanderthal fossils ever found in Catalonia and the first to have been unearthed in the context of modern scientific excavation , therefore all the guarantees and perfectly framed in the chronology .

TITULAR: Descubierta una proteína que dobla la vida en ratones envejecidos

 FECHA DE PUBLICACIÓN: 6 ABR 2015


ÁMBITO CIENTÍFICO: Ámbito Microbiologico

RESUMEN:
A team from the National Center for Cancer Research has found a possible hope to combat the effects of ageing. This hope is called Rrm2, a protein which activates the production of nucleotides and seems able to fight versus the ageing.
This team used mice modified genetically in order to experiment with mice affected by the syndrome of premature ageing which is similar to the humans’ disease called Seckel syndrome.
When they experimented with these mice, they saw that they also had a lot of protein Rrm2 and that was the key to solve the problem of ageing.

VALORACIÓN:
In my point of view this new experiment has been a great advance in this world to help a lot of people with problems caused by the age.
This possibility has been proved only in mice with the syndrome of premature ageing so it is possible to not work in humans.
Until everything works, a lot of experiments have to be made to prove it but it not always succeed and it can be a hope that goes to nowhere.
It will need economical help so it would be fantastic to give donations to this human cause if the probability to succeed is very high, if not a lot of money will be wasted in a false hope.
Maybe not everyone will have the opportunity to access to this possible solution because their economic situation so in my opinion, they should receive economic help from the state in case they need.


GLOSARIO:

- CNIO: The National center of CanceR. Research is a Spanish public institution
   dedicated to research diagnostic and treatment of Breast Cancer.

- Folic acid: is a water soluble vitamin in complex of vitamins B, required
                         for the formation of structural proteins and hemoglobin.

- Genomic Instability: random variations that modify the normal number of
                                       chromosomes.

Ambito científico:
BIOETICA (BIOETHICAL)
Resumen:
A group of scientists have found a way of treat the diseases of the brain that is an almost unreachable place. The brain is a very difficult organ to study or explore, even to treat its diseases because of his protection against  any virus or drugs. So this treatment is based on the creation of a sort of a shuttle that pass his protection when the brain feeds of iron  in order to transport the necessary drugs to treat a disease.
The team who experiment this molecule has made some changes to protect it from being decomposed and making it more resistant. This experiment finally has been proved in animals such as rats and they had succeed.
VALORACIÓN CRÍTICA:
In my point of view this new experiment and discovery has been a great  advance in the neurology’s world.
By this way humans will be able to treat and even cure diseases from the brain  in a near future but before achieving this hopes the scientists and the experimenters of this project will have to experiment and try in human bodies that are not the same as rats.
This process is not short by far but with a big effort it could be possible one day and I think that the people  or the state should encourage this with economical aids in order to accelerate the experimentation process.
This intervention may be very expensive in the future because of its complexity and many people might not be able to afford it.
Trying this possible treatment will have disadvantages too, they could leave irreparable aftermaths.

GLOSARIO:

evitar el llanto.






HEADLINE: Cortar el hipo o evitar el llanto.

DATE OF PUBLICATION:  16-04-2015 (12:23)


SCIENTIFIC AREA: problems with your body
SUMMARY:
In this news explains several tricks for all those that feel moments some humans. As you can be the case of the hiccups or crying. Have done several studies where we give some tips to to be able to stop those dense in moments that we can not do it.

GLOSSARY:

Erupción: Aparición y desarrollo en la piel, o en las mucosas, de granos, manchas o vesículas.

CRITICAL ASSESSMENT:
Despues de haber leido esta noticia me ha resuelto bastantas preguntas que anteriormente muchas personas nos haciamos. Ya que en el acto de tener esas sensaciones la gente se desespera y no sabe que hacer ya que en ese mismo momento no pueden quedar bien. Por lo tanto el estudio que han hecho me parece muy interesante y que mucha gente puede hacer uso de el. Normalmente la gente se suele desesperar más cuando tiene hipo y no sabe que hacer para que se le vaya, ese es el gran problema de tanto pensar que lo sigue teniendo da pie a que no se le vaya, en el momento que la persona deje de pensar en eso el hipo se acabara yendo. Pero resulta basatante incomodo cuando estas delante de personas que apenas conoces o en una reunión imporante. Mucha gente tambén tiene vegüenza cuando tiene que estornudar, pero para evitar eso y hacer el mínimo ruido taponan la salida cuando hacer eso es perjudicial para nuestra salud. Por lo tanto en el momento que venga ha de salir sin más ya que para nada es algo malo. Haber podido trabjar esta noticia me ha enseñado nuevos trucos para saber como actuar encada momento.

Science:
Veterinary science 
Summary of the new:
This news speaks to us about the aptitude of the animals to feel emotions for others of the same species, in this case he speaks more specifically about the elephants. It shows us and explains the history of a baby and its mother that they were separated for three years through the fault of the human action, later they met again and demonstrated the big affection that they took one as other one after so much time.
Glossary:
Symptom (síntoma): The symptom is a useful notice with which the health can be threatened be for something psychically, physically, socially or combination of the same ones.

Elephant Nature Park: is a sanctuary and rescue centre for elephants in Mae Taeng DistrictChiang Mai ProvinceNorthern Thailand, approximately 60 kilometres (37 mi) from Chiang Mai City. Founded in 1996, the project's aim is to provide sanctuary for distressed elephants from all over Thailand. Set in a natural valley, bordered by a river, and surrounded by forested mountains the sanctuary and surrounding area also offers a glimpse of rural life.

1 milla =1,609344 kilómetros
Valoración crítica:
En esta noticia como ya he explicado anteriormente nos habla de la capacidad de los animales de sentir emociones por otros de su misma especie, en este caso habla mas concretamente de los elefantes. Nos muestra y explica la historia de una cría y su madre que fueron separadas durante tres años por culpa de la acción humana, más tarde se reencontraron y demostraron el gran afecto que tenían una por la otra después de tanto tiempo.
En el día de hoy todos  creemos que los animales no pueden razonar ni interactuar entre ellos  y por eso decimos que son incapaces de tener sentimientos o sentir emociones por otros de su misma especie, pero por lo que hemos podido observar en esta noticia, todas esas creencias no tienen mucho sentido, alguien que no siente nada no es capaz de reaccionar así ante un reencuentro con un familiar.
Se lleva mucho tiempo estudiando a las especies que nos rodean, para explicar su conocimiento y relacionarlo con el nuestro, según estos estudios se ha demostrado que ninguna especie tiene la inteligencia humana, pero esto no quiere decir que por esto los animales no sean capaces de interactuar y relacionarse entre ellos.
Esta noticia nos muestra lo increíble que pueden llegar a ser las especies que nos rodean, con el paso del tiempo nos damos cuenta de nuevas actitudes de estas especies, actitudes que nos sorprenden a todos nosotros.
En mi opinión todas estas actitudes nos sorprenden porque creemos ser mucho superiores en todo, pero se demuestra que no es así. Además con el paso del tiempo y con los nuevos descubrimientos se demuestra que los animales que nos rodean no son tan diferentes a nosotros como creemos, tenemos muchas cosas en común.
