Abstract
The effects of climate change and the rapid growth of societies often lead to water scarcity and inadequate water quality, resulting in a significant number of diseases. The digitalization of infrastructure and the use of Digital Twins are presented as alternatives for optimizing resources and the necessary infrastructure in the water cycle. This paper presents a framework for the development of a Digital Twin platform for a wastewater treatment plant, based on a microservices architecture which optimized its design for edge computing implementation. The platform aims to optimize the operation and maintenance processes of the plant's systems, by employing machine learning techniques, process modeling and simulation, as well as leveraging the information contained in BIM models to support decision-making.

Abstract
One of the main goals of the Spanish and Portuguese-Speaking Working Group of the International Society for Forensic Genetics (GHEP-ISFG) is to promote and contribute to the development and dissemination of scientific knowledge in the field of forensic genetics. The GHEP-ISFG supports several Working Commissions which develop different scientific activities. One of them, the Working Commission on "Massively Parallel Sequencing (MPS): Forensic Applications", organized its first collaborative exercise on forensic applications of MPS technology in 2019. The aim of this exercise was to assess the concordance between the MPS results and those obtained with conventional technologies (capillary electrophoresis and Sanger sequencing), as well as to compare the results obtained within the different MPS platforms and/or the different kits/panels and analysis software packages (commercial and open-access) available on the market. The seven participating laboratories analyzed some samples of the annual GHEP-ISFG proficiency test (EIADN No. 27 (2019)), using Ion Torrent™ or MiSeq FGx® platforms. Six of them sent autosomal STR sequence data, five laboratories performed MPS analysis of individual identification SNPs, four laboratories reported MPS data of Y-chromosomal STRs, and X-chromosomal STRs, three laboratories performed MPS analysis of ancestry informative SNPs and phenotype informative SNPs, two labs performed MPS analysis of the mitochondrial DNA control region, and only one lab produced MPS data of lineage informative SNPs. Autosomal STR sequencing results were highly concordant to the consensus obtained by capillary electrophoresis in the EIADN No. 27 (2019) exercise. Furthermore, in general, a high level of concordance was observed between the results of the participating laboratories, regardless of the platform used. The main discordances were due to errors during the analysis process or from sequence data obtained with low depth of coverage. In this paper we highlight some issues that still arise, such as standardization of the nomenclature for STRs analyzed by sequencing with MPS, the universal uptake of a nomenclature framework by the analysis software, and well established validation and accreditation of the new MPS platforms for use in routine forensic case-work.

Abstract
The Basque Country has been the focus of population (genetic) and evolutionary studies for decades, as it represents an interesting evolutionary feature: it is the only European country where a non-Indo-European language is still spoken today and, for which there are no known living or extinct relatives. Early studies that were based on anatomical and serological methods, along with subsequent molecular genetic investigations, contain controversial interpretations of their data. Additionally, the analysis of mitochondrial DNA, which is maternally inherited and thus suitable for the examination of the maternal phylogeny of the population, was the focus of some studies. Early mtDNA studies were however restricted to the information provided by the control region or its hypervariable segments only. These are known to harbour little phylogenetic information, particularly for haplogroup H that is dominant in Westeurasian populations including the Basques. Later studies analysed complete mitogenome sequences. Their information content is however limited, either because the number of samples was low, or because these studies only considered particular haplogroups. In this study we present the full mitogenome sequences of 178 autochthonous Basque individuals that were carefully selected based on their familial descent and discuss the observed phylogenetic signals in the light of earlier published findings. We confirm the presence of Basque-specific mtDNA lineages and extend the knowledge of these lineages by providing data on their distribution in comparison to other Basque and non-Basque populations. This dataset improves our understanding of the Basque mtDNA phylogeny and serves as a high-quality dataset that is provided via EMPOP for forensic genetic purposes.

Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) has become one of the most widely research paradigms, having received much attention from the research community in the last few years. IoT is the paradigm that creates an internet-connected world, where all the everyday objects capture data from our environment and adapt it to our needs. However, the implementation of IoT is a challenging task and all the implementation scenarios require the use of different technologies and the emergence of new ones, such as Edge Computing (EC). EC allows for more secure and efficient data processing in real time, achieving better performance and results. Energy efficiency is one of the most interesting IoT scenarios. In this scenario sensors, actuators and smart devices interact to generate a large volume of data associated with energy consumption. This work proposes the use of an Edge-IoT platform and a Social Computing framework to build a system aimed to smart energy efficiency in a public building scenario. The system has been evaluated in a public building and the results make evident the notable benefits that come from applying Edge Computing to both energy efficiency scenarios and the framework itself. Those benefits included reduced data transfer from the IoT-Edge to the Cloud and reduced Cloud, computing and network resource costs.

Abstract
The challenge of promoting behavioral changes in users that leads to energy savings in public buildings has become a complex task requiring the involvement of multiple technologies. Wireless sensor networks have a great potential for the development of tools, such as serious games, that encourage acquiring good energy and healthy habits among users in the workplace. This paper presents the development of a serious game using CAFCLA, a framework that allows for integrating multiple technologies, which provide both context-awareness and social computing. Game development has shown that the data provided by sensor networks encourage users to reduce energy consumption in their workplace and that social interactions and competitiveness allow for accelerating the achievement of good results and behavioral changes that favor energy savings.

Abstract
We aimed to study the selective pressures interacting on SLC45A2 to investigate the interplay between selection and susceptibility to disease. Thus, we enrolled 500 volunteers from a geographically limited population (Basques from the North of Spain) and by resequencing the whole coding region and intron 5 of the 34 most and the 34 least pigmented individuals according to the reflectance distribution, we observed that the polymorphism Leu374Phe (L374F, rs16891982) was statistically associated with skin color variability within this sample. In particular, allele 374F was significantly more frequent among the individuals with lighter skin. Further genotyping an independent set of 558 individuals of a geographically wider population with known ancestry in the Spanish population also revealed that the frequency of L374F was significantly correlated with the incident UV radiation intensity. Selection tests suggest that allele 374F is being positively selected in South Europeans, thus indicating that depigmentation is an adaptive process. Interestingly, by genotyping 119 melanoma samples, we show that this variant is also associated with an increased susceptibility to melanoma in our populations. The ultimate driving force for this adaptation is unknown, but it is compatible with the vitamin D hypothesis. This shows that molecular evolution analysis can be used as a useful technology to predict phenotypic and biomedical consequences in humans.

Abstract
Introducción: la malnutrición es un proceso mórbido serio con múltiples causas de índole clínica y socioeconómica. Tiene desenlaces desde el punto de vista de morbimortalidad, estancia hospitalaria prolongada así como de costos de atención en salud. Existen múltiples métodos directos e indirectos que pueden ser útiles en la detección temprana. La valoración global subjetiva (VGS) es uno simple y fácil de aplicar a los pacientes hospitalizados y es válida en la práctica clínica. Objetivo: determinar la frecuencia de malnutrición de los pacientes con patología quirúrgica hospitalizados en el servicio de cirugía general del Hospital de San José a través de la VGS. Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo. Los criterios de inclusión fueron pacientes hospitalizados mayores de 18 años con una estancia mínima de 24 horas en el servicio de cirugía general, que no tuvieran asistencia del grupo de soporte nutricional, a los cuales se les aplicó la VGS. El análisis se realizó en STATA 10. Resultados: se estudiaron 281 casos. La frecuencia de malnutrición fue de 47,2%, siendo el 12,8% severa. La mediana de la edad fue 47 años. El 70% de los desnutridos tuvieron cirugía abdominal. La estancia fue más prolongada en los pacientes malnutridos . Conclusión: en este estudio se analizaron 281 pacientes durante seis meses, con una prevalencia de malnutrición del 47,2%, que es alta, pero se encuentra cerca de lo reportado en la literatura médica latinoamericana. La mayoría de los pacientes malnutridos fueron los posquirúrgicos dado por el aumento de su catabolismo.

Abstract
BACKGROUND R0 embraces the most common mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineage in West Eurasia, namely, haplogroup H (approximately 40%). R0 sub-lineages are badly defined in the control region and therefore, the analysis of diagnostic coding region polymorphisms is needed in order to gain resolution in population and medical studies. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We sequenced the first hypervariable segment (HVS-I) of 518 individuals from different North Iberian regions. The mtDNAs belonging to R0 (approximately 57%) were further genotyped for a set of 71 coding region SNPs characterizing major and minor branches of R0. We found that the North Iberian Peninsula shows moderate levels of population stratification; for instance, haplogroup V reaches the highest frequency in Cantabria (north-central Iberia), but lower in Galicia (northwest Iberia) and Catalonia (northeast Iberia). When compared to other European and Middle East populations, haplogroups H1, H3 and H5a show frequency peaks in the Franco-Cantabrian region, declining from West towards the East and South Europe. In addition, we have characterized, by way of complete genome sequencing, a new autochthonous clade of haplogroup H in the Basque country, named H2a5. Its coalescence age, 15.6+/-8 thousand years ago (kya), dates to the period immediately after the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE In contrast to other H lineages that experienced re-expansion outside the Franco-Cantabrian refuge after the LGM (e.g. H1 and H3), H2a5 most likely remained confined to this area till present days.

Abstract
Abstract. The Openness to Experience personality dimension has been challenged for its lack of independence from other personality constructs. In order to test whether Openness is an independent trait, we applied the following psychometric tests to a sample of 1006 nonpsychology university students: NEO-PI-R, EPQ-RS, ZKPQ-III-R, and SSS-V. Results suggest that most of the Openness variance remains to be explained. Therefore, this domain can be considered independent within the personality area, although Extraversion and, above all, Sensation Seeking presented significant relationships with the Openness scales. Each NEO-PI-R Openness facet shows a different pattern of relationships with other personality constructs proposed by the Five-Factor, Eysenck's, and Zuckerman's theories. Those relationships are discussed.
