Bases para la negociación en el ámbito de la criminología. La negociación estratégica

[ES]El proyecto trata de elaborar una relación entre la Criminología y la negociación, entendiendo ésta última como una herramienta útil en el ámbito criminológico. Se parte de la premisa de que en las relaciones sociales, surgen conflictos de diversa índole, inevitablemente, y en especial en el ámbito de la Criminología, por estar vinculado a la delincuencia y la criminalidad. El objetivo es aportar unas bases para la negociación y un instrumento útil para el alumnado sobre el tema. Así, el resultado ha sido un proyecto de investigación al respecto y una herramienta compuesta por una serie de diapositivas que reflejan los aspectos más importantes del tema. Además, dicho instrumento, ha sido sometido a la valoración de profesorado, alumnado y profesionales.

Postantifungal Effect of Micafungin against the Species Complexes of Candida albicans and Candida parapsilosis

Micafungin is an effective antifungal agent useful for the therapy of invasive candidiasis. Candida albicans is the most common cause of invasive candidiasis; however, infections due to non-C. albicans species, such as Candida parapsilosis, are rising. Killing and postantifungal effects (PAFE) are important factors in both dose interval choice and infection outcome. The aim of this study was to determinate the micafungin PAFE against 7 C. albicans strains, 5 Candida dubliniensis, 2 Candida Africana, 3 C. parapsilosis, 2 Candida metapsilosis and 2 Candida orthopsilosis. For PAFE studies, cells were exposed to micafungin for 1 h at concentrations ranging from 0.12 to 8 mu g/ml. Time-kill experiments (TK) were conducted at the same concentrations. Samples were removed at each time point (0-48 h) and viable counts determined. Micafungin (2 mu g/ml) was fungicidal (>= 3 log(10) reduction) in TK against 5 out of 14 (36%) strains of C. albicans complex. In PAFE experiments, fungicidal endpoint was achieved against 2 out of 14 strains (14%). In TK against C. parapsilosis, 8 mu g/ml of micafungin turned out to be fungicidal against 4 out 7 (57%) strains. Conversely, fungicidal endpoint was not achieved in PAFE studies. PAFE results for C. albicans complex (41.83 +/- 2.18 h) differed from C. parapsilosis complex (8.07 +/- 4.2 h) at the highest tested concentration of micafungin. In conclusion, micafungin showed significant differences in PAFE against C. albicans and C. parapsilosis complexes, being PAFE for the C. albicans complex longer than for the C. parapsilosis complex.
