RESUMO
This paper draws on research analyzing the emotional and relational impacts of poverty and exclusion on charities' clients in Spain since the 2008-2009 economic crisis, including people experiencing multiple exclusion homelessness (MEH). The study adopts a mixed-methods approach in which twenty in-depth cases were collected in different geographical locations, including twelve cases experiencing MEH. Unlike other disadvantaged groups, those affected by MEH suffer material shortages, traumatic experiences, psychological disorders, physical illnesses, and a high degree of relational vulnerability, as reflected in the structure and composition of their personal networks, which tend to be smaller in size, with just a few weak and temporary contacts, and with care professionals playing an important role. These charity users often need long-term socio-sanitary care, which challenges public and private health-care systems. Therefore, our contribution to this Special Issue is directed toward improving understanding of the relational characteristics of severely excluded people, how social support affects their personal networks, and the challenges this assistance poses to care services.

In medicine, we have historically been better at learning about the body and disease than we have at understanding the human beings who come to us with the ailments. We have acted to relieve pain, consoling patients and families as a complement, but done little to understand and alleviate suffering as a fundamental part of our practice. In fact, only in more recent decades has "suffering" been conceptualized as something apart from pain, associated with distress and its causes. It was Eric T. Cassell, in his ground-breaking work in the 1980s, who posed the need to consider alleviation of suffering and treatment of illness as twin-and equally important-obligations of the medical profession. Suffering is defined as a negative, complex emotional and cognitive state, characterized by feeling under constant threat and powerless to confront it, having drained the physical and psycho-social resources that might have made resistance possible. This unique depletion of personal resources is key to understanding suffering.
RESUMO
Presenta una aplicación experimental de tutoría telemática mediante un Bulletin Board System, ralizada entre 1996 y 1997 con los alumnos de la República Argentina del Postgrado Especialista Superior Universitario y del Máster en Informática Educativa, ambos de la Facultad de Educación de la Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) de España. El tele-procesamiento informático, o telemático, brinda una nueva dimensión al trabajo: hace realidad que los usuarios puedan intercambiar información a través de redes de comunicaciones, permitiendo no sólo un tratamiento autónomo de los datos sino también la comunicación entre personas. Se analiza una experiencia de casi doscientos alumnos, distribuidos en casi 2.800.000 km cuadrados, a la luz de herramientas telemáticas más actuales y potentes, como lo son el correo electrónico e Internet

En el presente estudio se determinó la concentración letal media (CL50) del cinc para el camarón Macrobrachium olfersii, durante 96 horas de exposición, encontrándose un valor de 1,59 mg Zn+21-1. Previa selección de dos concentraciones subletales (0,40 y 0,60 mg Zn+21-1) de este elemento, se evaluaron los efectos sobre la Acción Dinámica Específica (ADE) a través del consumo de oxígeno, mg O2h-1g-1, en organismos alimentados y sin alimentar. Los resultados demostraron diferencias altamente significativas (P<0,001) en el consumo de oxígeno en organismos expuestos 0,60 mg 1-1 de cinc con respecto a los controles. No se encontraron diferencias significativas (P>0,05) entre los tratamientos (con o sin alimento) y se obtuvieron elevados valores de ADE a las 3 horas de exposición. También se pudo observar, a las concentraciones de cinc probadas, síntomas evidentes de intoxicación, tales como hiperactividad y pérdida del equilibrio en los camarones estudiados
