Millora de rendiment de la plataforma web Educaweb.com amb Varnish

Els objectius d'aquest projecte són la millora del rendiment de la plataforma Educaweb.com utilitzant un frontal equipat amb Varnish HTTP Cache, un programari lliure que permet emmagatzemar les pàgines a una memòria cau i evitar el seu processament repetitiu quan no és necessari.

Formulario ICE

Desarrollo de una aplicación solicitada por el cliente Ibestat (Instituto de Estadística de las Islas Baleares) para llevar a cabo la gestión de la encuesta de Indicadores de Confianza Empresarial (ICE). Dispone de una parte frontal, que es accesible desde el exterior de la intranet de la Caib, y una parte interna para la configuración y explotación de la información. Esta aplicación estará ubicada en la DGTic.

Lack of CB1 receptor activity impairs serotonergic negative feedback

Serotonergic and endocannabinoid systems are important substrates for the control of emotional behavior and growing evidence show an involvement in the pathophysiology of mood disorders. In the present study, the absence of the activity of the CB1 cannabinoid receptor impaired serotonergic negative feedback in mice. Thus, in vivo microdialysis experiments revealed increased basal 5-HT extracellular levels and attenuated fluoxetine-induced increase of 5-HT extracellular levels in the prefrontal cortex of CB1 knockout compared to wild-type mice. These observations could be related to the significant reduction in the 5-HT transporter binding site density detected in frontal cortex and hippocampus of CB1 knockout mice. The lack of CB1 receptor also altered some 5-HT receptors related to the 5-HT feedback. Extracellular recordings in the dorsal raphe nucleus revealed that the genetic and pharmacological blockade of CB1 receptor induced a 5-HT1A autoreceptor functional desensitization. In situ hybridization studies showed a reduction in the expression of the 5-HT2C receptor within several brain areas related to the control of the emotional responses, such as the dorsal raphe nucleus, the nucleus accumbens and the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus, whereas an overexpression was observed in the CA3 area of the ventral hippocampus. These results reveal that the lack of CB1 receptor induces a facilitation of the activity of serotonergic neurons in the dorsal raphe nucleus by altering different components of the 5-HT feedback as well as an increase in 5-HT extracellular levels in the prefrontal cortex in mice.
