    Abstract La audición funcional –para fines prácticos– consiste en la posibilidad de despertar sensaciones precisas en regiones específicas del cerebro, a partir del procesamiento y extracción de mensajes ocultos en los cambios en la presión de las moléculas del aire que nos rodea. Medir la funcionalidad de la audición en un ser humano se convierte en un reto titánico que implica que nuestra vida profesional transcurra analizando información tanto subjetiva como objetiva de nuestros pacientes, ambas con un valor diagnóstico innegable. En cuanto a la primera, la historia clínica, las observaciones de la conducta auditiva del paciente, los reportes de la casa, la escuela y la terapia, o de estudios como la audiometría tonal y la logoaudiometría, resultan fundamentales no solo para el diagnóstico, sino para el seguimiento de nuestros pacientes. Sin embargo, en el caso de los pacientes más pequeños, o ante la necesidad de evaluar aspectos como la presión del oído medio, la función de las células ciliadas, o la presencia de microfónica coclear, la utilidad de esas herramientas subjetivas se encuentra limitada y entonces los registros, trazos, curvas y cifras relativas a intensidades, presiones, latencias, frecuencias, amplitudes y demás datos obtenidos a través de estudios objetivos, son los recursos que usamos para diagnosticar e iniciar la habilitación o rehabilitación de nuestros pacientes.

    Abstract Validation is an effective procedure for recognising the skills and knowledge acquired by individuals. However, the validation mechanisms in each country are not always easy to understand, especially due to a lack of information/data. The aim of this paper is to design a management system based on processes for the accreditation of professional competences acquired by work experience in Spain, considering European regulations. This is carried out through a contextualization of both regulatory frameworks through a bibliographic review, as well as the analysis of the quantitative and qualitative outcomes of the surveys that groups of experts involved in these tasks/procedures completed in Spain. All this has made it possible to design a model for the validation of learning acquired through professional experience as well as non-formal and informal channels in Europe and Spain, which facilitates the process of accreditation of competences.

    Abstract The effects of preharvest melatonin treatment, applied as foliar spray at 0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 mM concentration at three key points of fruit development (pit hardening, initial colour changes and 3 days before harvesting), on crop yield and fruit quality properties at harvest was evaluated in three sweet cherry cultivars, ‘Prime Giant’, ‘Lapins’ and ‘Sweet Heart’, and two years, 2019 and 2020. The results showed that melatonin treatment had no effect on crop yield, except for the ‘Lapins’ cultivar, in which increases were found. However, decayed and cracked fruit percentage was decreased in all cultivars in 2020 when adverse weather conditions occurred and commercial crop yield was increased, especially for 0.3 mM dose. Fruit quality traits at harvest, such as fruit weight, colour, firmness, total soluble solids and titratable acidity, were enhanced by melatonin treatments in all sweet cherry cultivars and in both years. Moreover, bioactive compounds, such as total phenolics and total and individual anthocyanins, were also found at higher levels in fruit from melatonin-treated trees with respect to controls. Thus, taking into account all these effects, 0.3 mM melatonin foliar spray, at three key points of fruit developmental stages, could be a useful tool to improve crop yield and quality traits of sweet cherries, especially their content on bioactive compounds with antioxidant properties and health beneficial effects.

    Abstract Rainfall occurring during the developmental stages of sweet cherries on the tree can lead to significant preharvest losses, primarily due to fruit cracking. Certain cultivars exhibit a higher susceptibility to such losses, particularly when persistent rains coincide with advanced phenological stages. The current study aims to investigate the efficacy of preharvest methyl jasmonate (MeJA) applications at harvest and during distinct developmental ripening stages in mitigating sweet cherry cracking at harvest and on-tree ripening. Preharvest foliar applications of 0.5 mM MeJA were applied across various sweet cherry cultivars, including ‘Prime Giant’, ‘Early Lory’, ‘Sweetheart’, and ‘Staccato’. By conducting this experiment over four growing seasons, we evaluated the impact of this natural elicitor on the cracking tolerance of these cultivars. The results of our analysis indicate that MeJA preharvest treatments effectively reduce fruit cracking, enhancing abiotic stress tolerance. Additionally, these treatments induce a general delay in fruit ripening on the tree across the examined cultivars. This delayed ripening effect is reflected in several quality parameters at harvest, such as the fruit firmness, external colour, total soluble solids, and total acidity. These parameters in the MeJA-treated fruit were delayed compared to the control fruit or remained unaffected for the total acidity. Conversely, the MeJA treatments delayed the accumulation of total polyphenols, exhibiting a minimal impact on reducing pedicel browning. The enhanced tolerance to cracking and delayed ripening attributed to the MeJA preharvest treatments could be helpful for plot management. Consequently, these MeJA-based preharvest treatments hold potential as valuable tools in adapting to climate change and mitigating abiotic stress in sweet cherry.

    Abstract Green pepper fruit is often consumed before it is completely ripe. However, the influence of the phenological stage in which the green pepper is consumed as a potential influencing factor in its bioactive compounds content and antioxidant capacity remains unknown. In addition, no literature is available concerning the bioactive compounds changes in ‘Lamuyo’ green peppers along its developmental and growth cycle. For this, two different approaches have been carried out, one using twelve different phenological stages (S1 to S12), and in the other, seven different harvest dates (from 27 February to 20 April). Moreover, bioactive compounds changes during 21 days of postharvest storage at 8 °C were investigated. In this study, bioactive compounds (ascorbic acid, dehydroascorbic acid, and total phenolic content) and the total hydrophilic and lipophilic (TAA-H and TAA-L) antioxidant activity were analysed. In addition, total soluble solids, total acidity, individual sugars, and organic acids were determined. Vitamin C levels increased along the phenological stages and harvest dates due to significant increases in ascorbic and dehydroascorbic acid levels. Our results show that the total phenol content decreases as vegetables develop and subsequently increases both as ripening begins and by the last harvest date. Furthermore, TAA-H was also greater by the phenological stage S12 and the 20 April harvest date. In conclusion, the phenological stage and harvest date are key factors that significantly influence the bioactive compounds of green peppers, and those that appear by S12 and 20 April could be more beneficial to health.

    Abstract La programación de un paciente con implante coclear resulta un proceso inicialmente estandarizado, pero que debe individualizarse para cada caso. En la mayoría de las ocasiones, dicho proceso implica el establecimiento de parámetros comunes. Sin embargo, existe un porcentaje de usuarios en los que por alguna circunstancia no es posible establecer niveles adecuados de estimulación, por lo que el médico audiólogo tiene que realizar ajustes en parámetros especiales, como cambio de estrategia, tasa de estimulación, ancho de pulso, entre otros, con el fin de obtener un desempeño auditivo de acuerdo a lo esperado.

    Abstract La eficiencia del uso de nitrógeno en la agricultura es muy baja, provocando problemas ambientales y baja productividad de los cultivos, por lo que conocer la distribución espacial y temporal de variables biofísicas que estimen su crecimiento, como la fracción de cobertura vegetal (FCV), y el contenido de nitrógeno del dosel (CND) aportará información valiosa para mejorar esta condición. El uso de imágenes satelitales de libre acceso, como las imágenes del satélite Sentinel-2 (S‑2), puede facilitar esta tarea. Con base en lo anterior, se realizó un estudio en seis parcelas de maíz, cultivadas por productores de la zona de Texcoco de Mora, Estado de México, cuyo primer objetivo fue investigar la relación entre índices espectrales, estimados a partir de la reflectancia, medida con un radiómetro multiespectral a nivel de superficie y de imágenes S-2; con la FCV, estimada mediante fotografías digitales a través de la aplicación para celulares Canopeo. El segundo objetivo fue obtener un modelo lineal para estimar el CND a partir del análisis de diferentes índices espectrales. Se generaron dos modelos para estimar la FCV, a partir de la información radiométrica a nivel de superficie, la validación de estos arrojó un valor alto de R2 = 0.92 y un CME = 7.3% entre datos de FCV medidos y estimados; sin embargo, en el caso de los datos estimados con imágenes S-2 se obtuvieron valores más bajos de R2 = 0.67 y CME = 17.6%, lo cual se atribuyó a un posible efecto de la atmósfera, ya que el periodo de estudio coincidió con la temporada de lluvias. Finalmente, en el caso del CND, los mejores resultados se obtuvieron con el modelo generado a partir del ClGreen, con el cual se obtuvo un R2 de 0.91 y un CME de 0.63 g m-2, al comparar el CND medido con relación al estimado.

    Abstract Programming an implanted patient follows a standardized and individualized protocol, although there is a percentage of cochlear implant users in which, for some reason, it is not possible to establish appropriate levels of stimulation. In these patients, the audiologist has to make adjustments in some special parameters such as a change in the strategy, stimulation rate, pulse width, among others, in order to obtain an auditory performance as expected.

    Abstract The effects of oxalic acid (OA) applied in preharvest on pomegranate crop yield and quality properties have not yet been investigated. Pomegranate trees were treated with OA at 1, 5, and 10 mM along the developmental growth cycle during 2016, from full blossom until harvest, and the fruit diameter was recorded monthly. The yield was significantly higher in OA-treated pomegranate trees, the on-tree ripening process being promoted in a concentration-dependent manner. With respect to quality traits, OA at 10 mM showed better results in terms of firmness, external color due to a red color enhancement, and respiration rate and sensory attributes. Then, a second-year experiment was performed with OA at 10 mM, and crop yield and fruit quality results were confirmed. In addition, an increase in glucose and total acidity, specifically malic and ascorbic acids, was observed in OA 10 mM-treated pomegranate fruit. Bioactive compounds were also higher in OA-treated fruit than control, the 10 mM concentration being the most effective in increasing total phenolics, total anthocyanins, and total antioxidant activity. Overall, results suggest that OA applied at 10 mM as preharvest treatment could be an effective tool to enhance pomegranate crop and quality and to improve the content of health-related compounds.
