Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder characterized by blood glucose levels above normal limits. The impact of this disease on the population has increased in recent years. It is already a public health problem worldwide and one of the leading causes of death. Recently, several proposals have been developed for better and regular monitoring of glucose. However, theses proposals do not discard erroneous readings and they are not able to anticipate a critical condition. In this work, we propose an algorithm based on the double moving average supported by an IoT architecture to prevent possible complications in elderly patients. The algorithm uses historical readings to construct a series. Given a number of periods, it is possible to calculate averages of different subsets and trends for the next periods and, in this way, the prognosis is obtained. With the prognosis, it is possible to notify the doctor and relatives in advance about a possible critical condition in the patient. The aim of our work is to validate the architecture and prognosis algorithm used for elderly persons. Tests of the algorithm and the architecture were performed with different readings and it was shown that the system generated corresponding notifications before the glucose values were higher than those defined by the WHO (World Health Organization), thus avoiding unnecessary alarms.

The properties of clinoptilolite related to cationic exchange and ionic selectivity have motivated us to study its application for agronomic purposes. The high potential of the clinoptilolite has been demonstrated as a vehicle for nitrogen fertilizers, with the aims of decreasing negative impacts on the environment and increasing fertilizer effi ciency. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of an exchanged form, clinoptilolite-NH 4 , and an occluded form, clinoptilolite-urea, of nitrogen fertilizer relative to commercial urea on dry matter and the nitrogen uptake effi ciency of Lolium multifl orum under controlled conditions. Lolium multifl orum, sowed in a sandy loam soil, was fertilized with 0, 60, 120, and 180 kg·ha -1 of nitrogen. Yield increased considerably and nitrogen uptake effi ciency was enhanced when clinoptilolite-NH 4 was used, possibly due to its ability to retain and slowly liberate NH 4 + ions. This effect produces time differences in nitrogen disponibility in relation to urea, making the nitrogen available for a longer time for the plant. The clinoptilolite-urea treatments reduced yields signifi cantly in comparison with urea applications only at the lowest dose. In addition, the nitrogen uptake effi ciency was always lower than the other treatments. This behavior is related to the fact that nitrogen liberation dynamics of the occluded form are much slower than for the ionic one.

Modelo de interoperabilidad de la historia clínica electrónica utilizando HL7-CDA basado en computación en la nubeResumen. La implementación exitosa de la Historia Clínica Electrónica (HCE) ayuda a mejorar la calidad de la atención de los pacientes, actualmente existe el problema de interoperabilidad entre las instituciones de salud, debido al uso variado de metodologías y tecnologías para su desarrollo. La Arquitectura de Documento Clínico (CDA) desarrollado por HL7 es un estándar de documentos para garantizar la interoperabilidad, la propagación de este formato de documento es fundamental para la interoperabilidad. El modelo presentado propone el desarrollo de sistemas orientados a la gestión de conocimiento clínico basándose en la generación de documentos CDA y su integración a través de la computación en la nube. Los desarrolladores que manejan diferentes plataformas podrán utilizar este modelo para mejorar la interoperabilidad. Los resultados obtenidos fueron la implementación de un modelo de uso general para desarrollo de HCE usando sintaxis basadas en XML para representar el conocimiento clínico mediante plantillas CDA.Palabras clave: Interoperabilidad, historia clínica electrónica, HL7, CDA, computación en la nube.

RESUMENEl riego complementario con aguas sódicas conduce a procesos dispersivos que deterioran el espacio poroso y con ello otras propiedades relacionadas. Esto podría producirse con bajos a medios niveles de RAS del agua, en suelos gruesos, cuando la illita domina la fracción arcilla. Se plantea la hipótesis de que el riego es capaz de provocar estados dispersivos en suelos de texturas medias a gruesas bajo estas condiciones, aun con aguas de baja a mediana sodicidad y períodos breves de la práctica, comprometiendo la sustentabilidad de sus sistemas productivos en el corto plazo. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar el grado de susceptibilidad a la dispersión y el efecto sobre la retención de agua y las propiedades hidráulicas de 2 suelos regados, Udipsament Típico y Hapludol Entico, en el Centro-E y NO, respectivamente, de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina. La de agua en el suelo y los límites de Atterberg fueron superiores en las condiciones de riego en el suelo Udipsament Típico. La conductividad hidráulica disminuyó y el índice de dispersión fue superior para la situación de riego en ambos suelos. Estos resultados sugieren la no sustentabilidad del sistema de riego evaluado. Palabras-clave: calidad de agua, salinización, índice de dispersiónComplementary irrigation sustainability in Typic Udipsament and Entic Hapludol soils of Argentina ABSTRACT The complementary irrigation with high level of sodium in water leads to dispersive processes that deteriorate the porous space and therefore, other related properties. This could take place with low to medium levels of SAR of water, in coarse soil in which the illite is predominant in the clay fraction. It is hypothesized that irrigation may cause dispersive states in soils of medium to coarse texture under these circumstances, even with water containing low to medium levels of sodium and during short periods of use, compromising the sustainability of land production systems in the short term. The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of susceptibility to dispersion and the effect on the soil water retention and its hydraulic properties of two irrigated soils, Typic Udipsament and Entic Hapludol, respectively, in the Center-East and North-West of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. The soil water retention and the Atterberg's limits were higher under irrigated conditions in Typic Udipsament. The hydraulic conductivity decreased and the dispersion index was higher in the situation of irrigation in both soils. These results suggest the non sustainability of irrigation system evaluated.
