Zooming in to the neighborhood level: A year-long wastewater-based epidemiology monitoring campaign for COVID-19 in small intraurban catchments
In recent years, wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as a valuable and cost-effective tool for monitoring the prevalence of COVID-19. Large-scale monitoring efforts have been implemented in numerous countries, ...
Quantification of human and animal viruses to differentiate the origin of the fecal contamination present in environmental samples
Aquest article revisa l'ús de diversos virus com a indicadors de contaminació fecal i eines de <strong>seguiment de l'origen microbià (MST)</strong>, ja que els indicadors bacterians clàssics (com <em>E. coli</em>) sovint ...
Exploring waterborne viruses in groundwater: Quantification and Virome characterization via passive sampling and targeted enrichment sequencing
Aquifers, which provide drinking water for nearly half the world's population, face significant challenges from microbial contamination, particularly from waterborne viruses such as human adenovirus (HAdV), norovirus (NoV) ...
Exploring the Use of Passive Samplers for the Surveillance of Avian Influenza Viruses in Wetlands: A Laboratory and Field Validation Study
Surveillance in wild birds is essential for the timely detection of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) strains. As flocks congregate in large numbers in wetlands and may potentially contaminate the environment with ...
Bridging soil biodiversity and human well-being: An actionable framework to measure links between the natural capital and plural value of soils
Human activities contribute to soil degradation globally, endangering life belowground and services like food production and climate regulation. To reverse this situation, an actionable framework to connect soil health and ...
Biodiversity of Marine Mollusk Assemblages from Two Contrasted Algal Habitats in the Mediterranean Sea (Tossa de Mar, Costa Brava, NE Spain)
The malacological faunae of two algal habitats with different lighting conditions—a sciophilous wall and a photophilous one—both located in Tossa de Mar (Costa Brava, Girona, NE Spain), have been studied to examine the ...
Univariate Linear Normal Models: Optimal Equivariant Estimation
In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of the minimum intrinsic risk equivariant (MIRE) estimator for univariate linear normal models. The estimator is derived under the action of the subgroup of the ...
Potentially causal associations between placental DNA methylation and schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders
Increasing evidence supports the role of the placenta in neurodevelopment and in the onset of neuropsychiatric disorders. Recently, mQTL and iQTL maps have proven useful in understanding relationships between SNPs and GWAS ...
Advancing Viscoelastic Material Characterization ThroughComputer Vision and Robotics: MIRANDA and RELAPP
This study introduces MIRANDA, a computer vision system, and RELAPP, a complementary force measurement system, developed for characterizing viscoelastic materials. Our aim was to evaluate their combined ability to predict ...
Per què hi ha balenes que poden viure més de 200 anys?
L’any 2007, un equip de caçadors i científics inupiat, un poble de l’Àrtic, va capturar una balena al mar de Bering, prop del poble costaner d’Utqiaġvik. Durant el processament de l’animal van fer un descobriment excepcional: ...
Exploring viral contamination in urban groundwater and runoff
The reliance of the global population on urban aquifers is steadily increasing, and urban aquifers are susceptible to pathogenic contamination through sources such as sewer leakage or urban runoff. However, there is ...
La inspiració deixa empremta al cervell
Deia Pablo Picasso que “la inspiració existeix, però t’ha de trobar treballant”. Quan tenim un moment d’inspiració, notem un impuls creatiu que creix dins nostre. Ens permet imaginar les coses més espectaculars i, sovint, ...
Characterizing decision-making and reward processing in bipolar disorder: A cluster analysis
The presence of abnormalities in emotional decision-making and reward processing among bipolar patients (BP) has been well rehearsed. These disturbances are not limited to acute phases and are common even during remission. ...
Metabolite Biomarkers Linking a High-Fiber Rye Intervention with Cardiometabolic Risk Factors: The RyeWeight Study.
Wholegrain rye, considered one of the cereals with the highest content of dietary fiber and bioactive compounds, has been linked with reduced risk of cardiometabolic diseases. Thus, biomarkers reflecting its intake and/or ...
Genome-wide analyses of ADHD identify 27 risk loci, refine the genetic architecture and implicate several cognitive domains
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder with a major genetic component. Here, we present a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of ADHD comprising 38,691 individuals ...

Aprendre dels altres és bo, però aprendre amb els altres és millor
Des del punt de vista evolutiu, es considera que les persones, els Homo sapiens, disposem de dues adaptacions biològiques crucials per a la supervivència: la capacitat del cervell per adquirir aprenentatges nous tota la ...
