The virtualization of the Andalusian Legacy of Cáceres as an opportunity for Halal Tourism

Nowadays, tourism is based on new experiences and different emotions, thus new digital outlets provide a new path to explore cultural tourism. Therefore, we believe in the on-off tourism. Caceres, which was declared as UNESCO World Heritage site in 1986, has been taken as the city for this study, we focus on the andalusi legacy of Caceres, particularly on the extraordinary cistern (aljibe) and on the walled city of the Almohades time, as characteristic elements of its Islamic past. The virtualization and value of the Islamic heritage of Caceres will offer new tourism opportunities for a new type of visitors, the Muslim tourist. The Muslims represent, approximately 25 % of the world population and mainly from from rich or emergent countries. Islam is a way of life, with consumer habits identified ...

Como objetivo secundario, se pretende abrir nue vas líneas de investigación y remarcar la importancia del asunto. La información es un servicio de socialización. Por ello, se deben respetar las diferencias políticas, ideológicas, sociales y culturales. En el caso del entorno cultural, la religión es una de las variables a considerar en la práctica de la correcta información, evitando clichés y acciones no respetuosas hacia algunos de sus fieles. Si se quiere ser ob jetivo, hay que ser respetuoso. Conocer las religiones que se practican en el país supone una mejor ade cuación en el tratamiento de la información. Los medios son transmisores de valores y estos, a su vez, socializadores de la audiencia.

This process consisted on the ultrafiltration of cuttlefish softening wastewater, with a 10 kDa cut-off membrane, followed by the hydrolysis with alcalase of the retained fraction. Alcalase produced ACE inhibitors reaching the highest activity (IC 50 = 76.8 ± 15.2 μg mL -1 ) after 8 h of proteolysis. Sequential ultrafiltration of the 8 h hydrolysate with molecular weight cut-off (MWCO) membranes of 10 and 1 kDa resulted in the increased activity of each permeate, with a final IC 50 value of 58.4 ± 4.6 μg mL -1 . Permeate containing peptides lower than 1 kDa was separated by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). Four fractions (A-D) with potent ACE inhibitory activity were isolated and their main peptides identified using high performance liquid chromatography coupled to an electrospray ion trap Fourier transform ion cyclotron Mar. Drugs 2014, 12 1391 resonance-mass spectrometer (HPLC-ESI-IT-FTICR) followed by comparison with databases and de novo sequencing. The amino acid sequences of the identified peptides contained at least one hydrophobic and/or a proline together with positively charged residues in at least one of the three C-terminal positions. The IC 50 values of the fractions ranged from 1.92 to 8.83 μg mL -1 , however this study fails to identify which of these peptides are ultimately responsible for the potent antihypertensive activity of these fractions.
