Full Text Available What can the intersex body tell us? How does this issue get more complex if we think about its representation in the media, specially in cinema? In this article, starting from Lucia Puenzo's XXY, we pose these and other questions related to deviant bodies and desires. With a subversive and non-pathologizing discourse, XXY proposes a careful look at the subjectivities of these experiences. We argue that the film, in resonance with the queer studies, is alert to the politicization of the abject bodies.

THE 2014 MARCH 29 X-FLARE: SUBARCSECOND RESOLUTION OBSERVATIONS OF Fe XXI λ1354.1

The Interface Region Imaging Spectrometer (IRIS) is the first solar instrument to observe ∼10 MK plasma at subarcsecond spatial resolution through imaging spectroscopy of the Fe XXI λ1354.1 forbidden line. IRIS observations of the X1 class flare that occurred on 2014 March 29 at 17:48 UT reveal Fe XXI emission from both the flare ribbons and the post-flare loop arcade. Fe XXI appears at all of the chromospheric ribbon sites, although typically with a delay of one raster (75 s) and sometimes offset by up to 1''. 100-200 km s{sup –1} blue-shifts are found at the brightest ribbons, suggesting hot plasma upflow into the corona. The Fe XXI ribbon emission is compact with a spatial extent of <2'', and can extend beyond the chromospheric ribbon locations. Examples are found of both decreasing and increasing blue-shift in the direction away from the ribbon locations, and blue-shifts were present for at least six minutes after the flare peak. The post-flare loop arcade, seen in Atmospheric Imaging Assembly 131 Å filtergram images that are dominated by Fe XXI, exhibited bright loop-tops with an asymmetric intensity distribution. The sizes of the loop-tops are resolved by IRIS at ≥1'', and line widths in the loop-tops are not broader than in the loop-legs suggesting the loop-tops are not sites of enhanced turbulence. Line-of-sight speeds in the loop arcade are typically <10 km s{sup –1}, and mean non-thermal motions fall from 43 km s{sup –1} at the flare peak to 26 km s{sup –1} six minutes later. If the average velocity in the loop arcade is assumed to be at rest, then it implies a new reference wavelength for the Fe XXI line of 1354.106 ± 0.023 Å.

De hecho, el tema es realmente de actualidad puesto que en América Latina vivimos por primera vez esta situación, después de mucho tiempo, en el que pasamos de las resistencias a las alternativas, no digo que sea la alternativa definitiva, pero se trata de pasos en dirección de las alternativas. América Latina es el único continente en el mundo actual que experimenta alternativas. Si consideramos por ejemplo el Asia, allí se vive el neoliberalismo más como una oportunidad que como una agresión. Es muy claro para la opinión general en América Latina que el neoliberalismo ha sido una agresión económica, política, cultural. En cambio, en países como la India,Vietnam y China se mira el neoliberalismo o el capitalismo tal vez como una oportunidad, por eso estamos todavía en estado, no solamente de construcción de alternativas, sino aún de resistencias.

Projection of regional climate changes for XXI century is one of the priorities of EC environmental programme. Potential worsening of the waves' statistics, sea level rise and extreme surges are the principal negative consequences of the climate change for marine environment. That is why the main purpose of this presentation is to discuss the above issue for the Black sea region (with a strong focus to the south-west subregion because the maximum heights of waves exceeding 10 m occur just here) using output of several global coupled models (GCM) for XXI century, wave simulation, long-term observations of sea level and statistical techniques. First of all we tried to choose the best coupled model (s) simulated the Black sea climate change and variability using the control experiments for 20 century (203). The principal result is as follows. There is not one model which is simulating adequately even one atmospheric parameter for all seasons. Therefore we considered (for the climate projection) different outputs form various models. When it was possible we calculated also the ensemble mean projection for the selected model (s) and emission scenarios. To calculate the wave projection we used the output of SWAN model forced by the GCM wind projection for 2010 to 2100. To estimate the sea level rise in XXI century and future surges statistics we extrapolate the observed sea level rise tendencies, statistical relation between wave heights and sea level and wave scenarios. Results show that in general, the climate change in XXI century doesn't lead to the catastrophic change of the Black sea wind-wave statistics including the extreme waves in the S-W Black sea. The typical atmospheric pattern leading to the intense storm in the S-W Black sea is characterized by the persistent anticyclonic area to the North of the Black sea and cyclonic conditions in the Southern Black sea region. Such pressure pattern causes persistent and strong eastern or north-eastern wind which

Peripheral conversion and uptake of androgens in a XXY-man with Klinefelter's syndrome

The conversion of 3 H-testosterone and the uptake of 3 H-testosterone and 3 H-5α-dihydrotestosterone were investigated in pubic skin and pubic hair follicles of a XXY-man with inadequate pubic hair. The uptake of both androgens was demonstrated in the skin as well as in the hair follicles. Similarly the activity of steroid 5α-reductase was present in both tissues. The total conversion of 3 H-testosterone was 2-3 times higher in the patient than in control persons. In the XXY-man the major metabolites were 5α- and 5β-androstanediols, whereas in the normal men 5α-dihydrotestosterone and 4-androstenedione were mainly formed from testosterone. An explanation of the inadequate growth of pubic hair in our patient seems to be related to a conversion of testosterone - at its low plasma level - to its relatively inactive metabolites. (author)

Solar flares are among the most energetic phenomena that occur in the solar system. In the standard solar flare model, a fast mode shock, often referred to as the flare termination shock (TS), can exist above the loop-top source of hard X-ray emissions. The existence of the TS has been recently related to spectral hardening of a flare’s hard X-ray spectra at energies >300 keV. Observations of the Fe xxi 1354.08 Å line during solar flares by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph ( IRIS ) spacecraft have found significant redshifts with >100 km s{sup −1}, which is consistent with a reconnection downflow. The ability to detect such a redshift with IRIS suggests that one may be able to use IRIS observations to identify flare TSs. Using a magnetohydrodynamic simulation to model magnetic reconnection of a solar flare and assuming the existence of a TS in the downflow of the reconnection plasma, we model the synthetic emission of the Fe xxi 1354.08 line in this work. We show that the existence of the TS in the solar flare may manifest itself in the Fe xxi 1354.08 Å line.

Ovotesticular disorder of sexual development (DSD) is characterized by the presence of both ovarian and testicular tissues in the same individual. The most common karyotype is 46,XX. Here, we report the case of a boy with a 46,XX/47,XXY karyotype diagnosed as ovotesticular DSD by gonadal biopsy. A 5-month-old boy presented with hypospadias, unilateral cryptorchidism, and a micropenis. Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging revealed a suspicious gonad tissue that is solid in structure in the right scrotum and a suspicious gonad that is cystic in structure in the left inguinal canal. He underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy. Cytogenetic analysis of peripheral blood revealed a 46,XX/47,XXY karyotype. Histopathologic examination of the left gonad showed ovarian tissue containing primordial follicles with ipsilateral undifferentiated tuba uterina. The right gonad showed immature testis tissue. He underwent left gonadectomy and hypospadias repair, and was raised as a male. Through this rare case, we highlight the importance of histological and cytogenetic investigation in DSD.

La existencia de largometrajes como el citado pone en el horizonte social un debate que desde una perspectiva feminista se vuelve trascendente si consideramos que las producciones cinematográficas son una manera del decir social, de imponer normas en relación a lo posible y lo imposible, en este caso sobre la constitución del sujeto sexuado.This work takes as a narrative excuse the Argentinean film XXY to discuss some aspects the film brings to the fore about the social and cultural construction of the sexual body, and how this construction has implications in the particular ways to experience the body and sexuality. The pivot of this analysis will be the concept of "stigma". The existence of this kind of film raises debate which, from a feminist perspective, has a vital meaning if we consider that filmic productions impose norms about what is possible and what is not, in this case about the constitution of a sexed subject.

Design of an Image-Servo Mask Alignment System Using Dual CCDs with an XXY Stage

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

2016-02-01

Full Text Available Mask alignment of photolithography technology is used in many applications, such as micro electro mechanical systems’ semiconductor process, printed circuits board, and flat panel display. As the dimensions of the product are getting smaller and smaller, the automatic mask alignment of photolithography is becoming more and more important. The traditional stacked XY-Θz stage is heavy and it has cumulative flatness errors due to its stacked assembly mechanism. The XXY stage has smaller cumulative error due to its coplanar design and it can move faster than the traditional XY-Θz stage. However, the relationship between the XXY stage’s movement and the commands of the three motors is difficult to compute, because the movements of the three motors on the same plane are coupling. Therefore, an artificial neural network is studied to establish a nonlinear mapping from the desired position and orientation of the stage to three motors’ commands. Further, this paper proposes an image-servo automatic mask alignment system, which consists of a coplanar XXY stage, dual GIGA-E CCDs with lens and a programmable automatic controller (PAC. Before preforming the compensation, a self-developed visual-servo provides the positioning information which is obtained from the image processing and pattern recognition according to the specified fiducial marks. To obtain better precision, two methods including the center of gravity method and the generalize Hough Transformation are studied to correct the shift positioning error.

The XXI Century Academy was a 6-year state-initiated intervention program that served as an alternative to basketball clubs for players in the u-14 and u-18 age groups in Spain, under guidelines established by the Spanish Basketball Federation. It was an important and unique project on talent development in basketball. To the best of the authors' knowledge, no evidence has been reported on long-term athlete development programs in basketball worldwide. The main aim of this report is to describe the design and evaluation methods used for the XXI Century Academy as a long-term intervention program in the elite Spanish Basketball Academy, aiming to prepare basketball players to compete at the elite level. The monitoring time lasted from 1996 to 2001. A total of 55 players were assigned to the intervention groups based on age, position, maturation level, and country of origin. During this process, participants competed in up to two categories in addition to playing competitive official matches worldwide in international tournaments in their categories and with the national team in the European and World Championships (u-14 - u-18). Participants included 1 NBA player, 3 national A Team players, 10 ACB (First Spanish League) players, 5 LEB (second League) players and 39 LEB-2 EBA (third League) players. Assessments took place in a High-Performance Sports Center (CPT FADURA-GETXO- Basque Government, Getxo, Vizcaya, Spain) and consisted of health questionnaires, anthropometric measures, blood parameters, maturation level, birth age, fitness tests, training volume and intensity, physical activity, technical and tactical training, dietary intake, supplementation and injuries. Each player was assessed 4 times per year (September, December, April, June) for 4 years (16 data points). This is a purely methodological paper describing the design and evaluation methods used in the XXI Century Project, which will be used as a basis for future reporting of results. Therefore, the

Attentional problems, hyperactivity, and impulsivity have been described as behavioral features associated with sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA). In this study, the authors compare attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms in 167 participants aged 6 to 20 years with 4 types of SCA (XXY n = 56, XYY n = 33, XXX n = 25, and XXYY n = 53). They also evaluate factors associated with ADHD symptomatology (cognitive and adaptive scores, prenatal vs postnatal ascertainment) and describe the clinical response to psychopharmacologic medications in a subset of patients treated for ADHD. Evaluation included medical and developmental history, cognitive and adaptive functioning assessment, and parent and teacher ADHD questionnaires containing DSM-IV criteria. In the total study group, 58% (96/167) met DSM-IV criteria for ADHD on parent-report questionnaires (36% in XXY, 52% in XXX, 76% in XYY, and 72% in XXYY). The Inattentive subtype was most common in XXY and XXX, whereas the XYY and XXYY groups were more likely to also have hyperactive/impulsive symptoms. There were no significant differences in Verbal, Performance, or Full Scale IQ between children with symptom scores in the ADHD range compared with those below the ADHD range. However, adaptive functioning scores were significantly lower in the group whose scores in the ADHD range were compared with those of the group who did not meet ADHD DSM-IV criteria. Those with a prenatal diagnosis of XXY were less likely to meet criteria for ADHD compared with the postnatally diagnosed group. Psychopharmacologic treatment with stimulants was effective in 78.6% (66/84). Children and adolescents with SCA are at increased risk for ADHD symptoms. Recommendations for ADHD evaluation and treatment in consideration of other aspects of the SCA medical and behavioral phenotype are provided.

Full Text Available Don Quixote has ridden with us for a long time now, and as if his fight against windmills were not enough, Don Quixote still has many more difficult situations to combat in the present times. Will the Knight of the Sad Figure accomplish this new deed? It is our challenge to find an answer to this inquiry. For this purpose, the author of this essay inserts the Knight of the Sad Figure in XXI century society. The author transforms the values, costumes and points of view of the times of the literary piece and establishes a series of relationships between the literary text, the main character and several current daily life situations. Don Quixote will certainly continue his fight against all the conditions we encounter nowadays. There is no doubt, then, that this knight still lives among us.

47 XXY/46 XX mosaicism with characteristics suggesting Klinefelter syndrome is very rare and at present, only seven cases have been reported in the literature. We report an Indian boy diagnosed as variant of Klinefelter syndrome with 47 XXY/46 XX mosaicism at age 12 years. He was noted to have right cryptorchidism and chordae at birth, but did not have surgery for these until age 3 years. During surgery, the right gonad was atrophic and removed. Histology revealed atrophic ovarian tissue. Pelvic ultrasound showed no Mullerian structures. There was however no clinical follow up and he was raised as a boy. At 12 years old he was re-evaluated because of parental concern about his 'female' body habitus. He was slightly overweight, had eunuchoid body habitus with mild gynaecomastia. The right scrotal sac was empty and a 2mls testis was present in the left scrotum. Penile length was 5.2 cm and width 2.0 cm. There was absent pubic or axillary hair. Pronation and supination of his upper limbs were reduced and x-ray of both elbow joints revealed bilateral radioulnar synostosis. The baseline laboratory data were LH XX[67] with SRY positive. Laparoscopic examination revealed no Mullerian structures. Insisting on an adequate number of cells (at least 50) to be examined during karyotyping is important so as not to miss diagnosing mosaicism.

Full Text Available Este escrito hace un análisis crítico de una de las fuentes del socialismo del siglo XXI. Los regímenes socialistas del siglo XX distorsionaron el modelo teórico marxista, en parte debido a la imposibilidad del cálculo económico en el sistema socialista centralizado. Allin Cottrell y Paul Cockshott sostienen que esta imposibilidad se puede superar con el uso de computadores y la tecnología de Internet. El artículo critica algunos aspectos económicos y políticos de su propuesta. La crítica de los aspectos económicos se inspira en el socialismo de mercado, mientras que la de los aspectos políticos se desarrolla a partir de los debates sobre el liberalismo político o igualitario.

Observation and modelling of the Fe XXI line profile observed by IRIS during the impulsive phase of flares

Science.gov (United States)

Polito, V.; Testa, P.; De Pontieu, B.; Allred, J. C.

2017-12-01

The observation of the high temperature (above 10 MK) Fe XXI 1354.1 A line with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) has provided significant insights into the chromospheric evaporation process in flares. In particular, the line is often observed to be completely blueshifted, in contrast to previous observations at lower spatial and spectral resolution, and in agreement with predictions from theoretical models. Interestingly, the line is also observed to be mostly symmetric and with a large excess above the thermal width. One popular interpretation for the excess broadening is given by assuming a superposition of flows from different loop strands. In this work, we perform a statistical analysis of Fe XXI line profiles observed by IRIS during the impulsive phase of flares and compare our results with hydrodynamic simulations of multi-thread flare loops performed with the 1D RADYN code. Our results indicate that the multi-thread models cannot easily reproduce the symmetry of the line and that some other physical process might need to be invoked in order to explain the observed profiles.

This work once again brings to attention the fundamental ideas of the long-term nuclear power development on the basis of the new generation of Fast neutron Reactors, naturally safe, economically attractive and employing the proliferation-resistant and low-waste fuel cycle. The Universal System Model (USM-1), new analytical research tool recently developed in N.A. Dollezhal Research and Design Institute of Power Engineering (Moscow, Russia) has been used to evaluate several scenarios (including traditional ones) of the World nuclear power development for electricity production within the XXI century. For scenarios comparison 3 criteria were used: the levelized cost of electricity, the fuel supply security (in terms of natural uranium total consumption and prospects for further fuel balance), and the potential hazard of radioactive wastes. The clear advantage of scenario with the most complete realization of the new Fast Reactors technology potential is revealed. The authors strongly believe that the prospects of this new technology worldwide implementation deserve the due attention of responsible governments and international organizations. 2 Tables, 13 Figures, 10 References.

Full Text Available Bacillus thuringiensis-based insecticides are the main production line of the biopesticides world market. The research devoted to this area, promoted by the necessity to solve problems in agriculture and public health has resulted in an exhaustive knowledge of its biology. The diversity of the B. thuringiensis strains has permitted to develop several products mainly, but not exclusively, for insect control. With the new developments in the field of molecular biology, it has been possible to understand the molecular basis of the mode of action and to increase the range of activity as well. As a result of the broad use in several countries, resistant strains of some of the susceptible insects have appeared. The aim of this review is to elaborate a theoretical framework of the current state of research on B. thuringiensis, describing briefly the knowledge on this bacterium, with emphasis on biological phenomena that underlie its toxic activity and the problems that will be faced during the XXI century with the increasingly common resistance, all this analyzed from a biotechnological perspective.

Hau-Wei Lee

2013-01-01

Full Text Available In recent years, as there is demand for smart mobile phones with touch panels, the alignment/compensation system of alignment stage with vision servo control has also increased. Due to the fact that the traditional stacked-type XYθ stage has cumulative errors of assembly and it is heavy, it has been gradually replaced by the coplanar stage characterized by three actuators on the same plane with three degrees of freedom. The simplest image alignment mode uses two cameras as the equipments for feedback control, and the work piece is placed on the working stage. The work piece is usually engraved/marked. After the cameras capture images and when the position of the mark in the camera is obtained by image processing, the mark can be moved to the designated position in the camera by moving the stage and using alignment algorithm. This study used a coplanar XXY stage with 1 μm positioning resolution. Due to the fact that the resolution of the camera is about 3.75 μm per pixel, thus a subpixel technology is used, and the linear and angular alignment repeatability of the alignment system can achieve 1 μm and 5 arcsec, respectively. The visual servo motion control for alignment motion is completed within 1 second using the coplanar XXY stage.

Cuando se habla de intermedialidades surgen varias preguntas fundamentales: ¿qué sucede cuando dialogan diversas manifestaciones artísticas ontológicamente tradicionales con las formas de expresión propias de las tecnologías digitales? ¿Cuáles son las implicaciones del concepto de intermedialidad? y, en el contexto de la academia, ¿qué nuevos campos de estudio surgen al partir de esta noción? ¿Qué impacto tienen los estudios desde la intermedialidad sobre el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y sobre la investigación que efectuamos desde las diversas disciplinas, sobre el mundo de la industria cultural y sobre el patrimonio cultural de  nuestros países? Algunas de estas preguntas procuran ser contestadas en este trabajo, otras solamente se plantean para generar un debate necesario.

Full Text Available Resumen El deporte moderno evoluciona de forma acelerada en un contexto "supradeportivo" en línea con las exigencias del espectáculo; responder a las mismas ha obligado en determinados momentos a introducir normas que tengan como norte imprescindible un juego atractivo para ser evaluado positivamente en las complejas exigencias del marketing y venta del producto. El Balonmano, deporte relativamente joven, no podía quedar al margen del "mercado competitivo" al uso y no alejarse del entorno de mercado, promoción, TV, medios de comunicación, espectadores, etc. La profesionalización era un camino obligado para mejorar conductas en aras del espectáculo citado. Los especialistas y responsables de la elite, así como aquellos que se inician en el conocimiento del juego, no deben olvidar las raíces, las bases y la evolución histórica del juego de ataque de esta especialidad deportiva para, apoyados en ellas, aportar ideas  creativas que enriquezcan si es posible este producto dinámico, competitivo e inteligente que dibuja el Balonmano. El presente artículo es una revisión del trabajo publicado en el volumen 2 de esta revista, “Los inicios del siglo XXI: evolución y tendencias del juego”. Palabras clave: Balonmano, Siglo XXI, Evolución, Ataque, Deporte Espectáculo.   Abstract Modern sport evolves quickly in a supra-sport context according to the demands of the show. This has forced in certain moments to introduce norms in order to get an attractive game that responds to the complex demands of the marketing and sale of the product. Handball, though a relatively young sport, can not be far from the competitive market, sport promotion, the television, media, spectators, etc. Professionalization was the best way to improve habits in favor of the show. Specialists, managers of elite players and those  new to the game,  should not forget the roots, the bases and the historical evolution of the offensive aspect of this sport. The

Full Text Available In this article, we are developing some ideas and proposals for an educational leadership exercise in order to assume higher education´s main challenges in the XXI century. In this reflection we are taking into consideration the universities´commitments in the construction of more fair and equitable societies according to its necessities and demands in a historical moment distinguished by globalization and scientific technological development. Therefore, we have to emphasize the permanent links between education and economic and social development; besides, we take back some of the ideas presented at the higher education world conference in 1998, which evidenced the implications of the main challenges that education faces in the XXI century. For that reason it is of vital importance, a type of leadership that responds effectively to those challenges through belligerent, participative and precise actions.

Hostile outbursts in the XXI century Argentina. Persistence and recurrence of a disruptive form Los estallidos de hostilidad en la Argentina del siglo XXI. Persistencia y recurrencia de una forma disruptiva

Full Text Available Direct forms of confrontation represent one of the main features of the social conflict in Argentina in the xxI century. Particularly, the hostile outbursts have constituted a dynamic that is present throughout the decade. The public system of railway transportation of passengers in the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires was one of the social spaces with the most recurrence of this kind of collective action. Between 2003 and 2009 a cycle of hostile outbursts took place, in which groups of passengers attacked goods and employees of the concessionary enterprise –and in some cases security forces involved– showing its social dissatisfaction with the quality of service. In this paper, we expose a hypothetical frame in order to explain these events while promoting a conceptual debate about this kind of action.Las formas directas de confrontación representan una de las características salientes de la conflictividad social en la Argentina del siglo XXI. En particular, los estallidos de hostilidad constituyen una dinámica presente a lo largo de toda la década. El transporte ferroviario de pasajeros del área metropolitana de Buenos Aires se erigió en uno de los espacios sociales con gran recurrencia de este tipo de acciones. Entre 2003 y 2009 se desarrollaron una serie de estallidos en los cuales grupos de pasajeros atacaban bienes y trabajadores de las empresas prestatarias –y en ocasiones a las fuerzas de seguridad que intervenían– con el objeto de expresar su disconformidad con la forma de prestación del servicio. En este artículo exponemos los resultados de nuestra investigación sobre dichos episodios, presentando un marco hipotético-conceptual que da cuenta de los mismos y promueve en simultáneo un debate conceptual sobre esta forma de acción directa.

Ovotesticular disorder of sex development (OT-DSD) is a rare disorder of sexual differentiation characterized by the presence of both ovarian and testicular tissues in the same individual. It's incidence ranges from 3% to 10% of all disorder of DSD's, and the most common presentation is 46, XX followed by 46, XX/46, XY mosaicism and 46, XY. Klinefelter syndrome (KS) mosaicism 46, XX/47, XXY is extremely rare, and its association with the ovotesticular disorder is even rarer. We report an unusual case of 16-year-old with male habitus who presented with complains of cyclic hematuria. On examination, he had bilateral gynecomastia, unilateral left cryptorchidism, absent facial hair, sparse axillary hair growth, and pubic hair distribution of feminine type. The right testis was of normal size located normally in hemiscrotum and was confirmed by radio imaging. Ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cystic area behind posterior half of urinary bladder. Chromosomal analysis revealed 46, XX/47, XXY mosaicism of female karyotype and KS. Histopathological report of this left side excised specimen confirmed the structures to be ovary, uterus, and fallopian tube, thus confirming our diagnosis of the lateral ovotesticular disorder. Meticulous workup combined interdisciplinary approach will lead to early diagnosis and resolve timely sex reassignment issues and also prevent consequences arising due to gonadal insufficiency.

PARADIGMAS CONTEMPORÂNEOS: O NAVIO NEGREIRO DO SÉCULO XXI / CONTEMPORARY PARADIGMS: THE SLAVE SHIP OF THE XXI CENTURY

Denis Henrique Schmeisch

2015-04-01

Full Text Available Human trafficking and slavery of human labor are not a recent phenomenon in the context of world history. The Trafficking of human lives is part of a logic of domination and bargaining, in which the life of an individual is exchanged for its freedom, or reducing a person to the condition of a thing that can be appropriated by others. Not limited only to trafficking, the “thingfication” of the other, which also occurs in the analogue slave labor which produces illness, causing funeral songs and it becomes the faces of these wretched, gloomy figures against villainy in the world. As speech development method was used Navio Negreiro of Castro Alves, as a basis for criticizing the perpetuation of man’s enslavement practice. It is observed that at the time the poet has denounced the hideous and vile practice, and we find ourselves today in the XXI century, living with the banalization of life. In the same way in that century the poet urged the intellectuals and the population to embrace the abolition of slavery, we find ourselves today in such situation that require a new abolitionist consciousness. Disposing the discussion at the national level, on the history and construction of the Brazilian legal system, it is worth to observe the necessity to create a new abolitionist movement. And in this sense, we ask as the poet did: “Why do you run away like that (...? Why to run away (...?”.

Alemania siglo XXI: un balance

Full Text Available Veinte años han pasado desde que se dieron los sucesos en la República Democrática Alemana (RDA que llevarían, en noviembre de 1989, a la caída del muro de Berlín y a la reunificación de Alemania el 3 de octubre de 1990. El proceso de unificación alemana dio pie en sus comienzos a una optimista visión que, sin embargo, con el paso del tiempo ha cambiado de tal forma que hoy se habla del ‘messogiorno alemán’ para designar a la zona oriental comparándola con la zona deprimida del sur de Italia. Pero la Alemania unificada en el contexto internacional supuso también cambios para la zona occidental que, entre otros, se han traducido en la crisis del sector industrial tradicional y en el desempleo estructural. Así, a la difícil constelación de la situación interna de la Alemania reunificada, se ha adicionado la realidad internacional con una decreciente producción industrial como fenómeno global en todas las viejas naciones industriales y con un proceso de desregularización que significó en Alemania oriental la ‘privatización de toda la sociedad’. En Alemania se han llevado y se están llevando cambios sociales profundos, que no tienen comparación con ningún otro país de las potencias occidentales ni, en el caso de la ex RDA con ningún país del este. Evaluar el proceso de unificación alemana, primera potencia europea y motor del proceso de integración en ese continente, se hace imperante. El presente artículo intenta hacer un diagnóstico parcial de la nueva realidad en la Alemania unificadaa comienzos del siglo XXI.

Studies of malformation syndromes in man XXXX: multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation syndrome or variant familial developmental pattern; differential diagnosis and description of the McDonough syndrome (with XXY son from XY/XXY father).

The McDonough syndrome is a "new" MCA/MR syndrome which was found in 3 children (1 girl, 2 boys) of non-consanguineous parents. The affected children were mentally retarded (IQ 47--67) and had congenital heart defect, sternal deformity, kyphosis and craniofacila anomalies (anteverted auricles, upward slanted palpebral fissures, squint); cryptorchidism was present in the 2 boys. In addition a possible VFDP is postulated as the explanation for similar features in affected and unaffected siblings and parents. However, the McDonough syndrome may be an autosomal recessive trait with minor manifestations in heterozygotes. The klinefelter syndrome in one affected boy and a 46,XY/47,XXY chromosome constitution in the father was a coincidental finding.

Todo el quehacer museal se orienta a satisfacer los gustos y necesidades del sujeto-visitante para así atraerlo al Museo. Este nuevo enfoque museológico tiene el riesgo de olvidar el objeto en el proceso educativo y centrarse en el sujeto. Se propone la promoción del diálogo sujeto-objeto para que la función educativa del Museo contribuya a la conformación de una sociedad con conciencia histórica-cultural clara. Se concluye que, en las primeras décadas del Siglo XXI los diferentes enfoques de la sociomuselogía, la museografía interactiva, la museología crítica y dialógica, así como los ejes de cambio generados por las innovaciones tecnológicas, las dinámicas de consumo y las comunidades de aprendizaje, apuntan a que la audiencia es el centro de atención, y no el objeto y la forma de ser expuesto como lo fue en el Siglo XX.Abstract: This paper presents an allegory between the muses of Greek mythology as the inspiration of memory, knowledge and the arts and the role of muses in inspiring current museum's tasks in the twenty-first century on the worldwide stage, in order to systematize the emerging museological XXI century currents and the central axes of change that are developing in this period. It concludes that in this century different museological approaches to sociomuseology, interactive museography and critical dialogical museology as well as the axes of change generated by technological innovations, the dynamics of consumption and learning communities, suggest that the individual visitor is the main target, and not the object and how it is exhibited (as in the last century. Thus, the individual visitor is the starting

Full Text Available Some new developments in EAS methods made in the framework of the Pamir-XXI project are presented. First, primary energy and direction definition accuracies by a network of fast scintillators are considered, optimum network cell size is defined for 10 PeV showers. Second, the same accuracies for a network of fast optical (Cherenkov detectors are considered for 30 TeV–10 PeV showers. Third, the possibilities of separation of EAS initiated by protons, nitrogen and iron nuclei of 1 and 10 PeV energies using a wide-angle Cherenkov telescope are discussed. Finally, the results of the extraction of 30–50 TeV gamma showers from the proton shower background with the same telescope are presented. Presumably, our developments can help in the study of PCR mass composition and ultra high energy gamma ray astronomy in other projects.

Full Text Available En este artículo analizamos la evolución de la organización terrorista ETA, desde su nacimiento en 1959 hasta nuestros días. En el país Vasco no hay una guerra sino un enfrentamiento entre una minoría, cada vez más reducida, y una vasca plural, pero mayoritariamente contraria al terrorismo. De ahí que, en este inicio del siglo XXI, ETA se haya convertido en un movimiento cerrado en sí mismo y anclado en el tiempo, que se resiste a aceptar su fracaso.

Secretario General
Academia Nacional de Medicina de Colombia.

Como representante de 106 años ininterrumpidos de servicio a la medicina, de dedicación incondicional a los pacientes, quiero ser portador de un mensaje de unidad y de fraternidad para el cuerpo médico de Colombia y de la América Latina, condiciones que en la Academia Nacional de Medicina de Colombia consideramos imperativas para adecuar nuestras instituciones a los caleidoscópicos cambios del ejercicio de nuestra profesión, en los albores del siglo XXI, del tercer milenio.

Quiero transmitirles las experiencias y las conclusiones emanadas, tanto de los diferentes foros que hemos tenido en Santa Fe de Bogotá como del 1 Encuentro Nacional de Academias de Medicina de Colombia, realizado en esta ciudad en marzo pasado. Cuando se inauguró dicho Encuentro nuestro Presidente, el Académico Gilberto Rueda Pérez, anotaba “La ciencia y la tecnología modernas reclaman para el futuro, más que nunca, la presencia directiva de la Academia, pero no de una Academia quieta, que descansa complacida en pretéritas épocas de oro, improductiva, órgano asesor a quien nadie consulta, sino de una Academia viva, dinámica, agresiva, capaz de aportar a través de su gran acerbo de inteligencia, de conocimientos y de experiencia y de su enorme poder de liderazgo, todo aquello que el cuerpo médico nacional espera de ella para el siglo XXI “.

Años atrás, cuando se perfilaba el nombramiento de un nuevo Ministro de Salud, la Academia dirigió una carta al Presidente de la República que fue desatendida totalmente. En dicha carta la Academia le solicitaba que escogiera a un médico para que se encargara de la cartera de salud, por años en manos de administradores y economistas, con detrimento de los programas nacionales de salud y de las campañas contra los principales flagelos nosológicos de nuestra patria. La respuesta fue el

2004-01-01

Full Text Available El presente artículo tiene como objetivo central explorar las tendencias que en el siglo XXI están revolucionando la práctica del mercadeo en las organizaciones. Para ello se caracteriza, en términos generales, el concepto de mercadotecnia, así como, la evolución de la misma desde sus inicios. Posteriormente se consideran los cambios tecnológicos, sociales y de mercado que han surgido en los inicios del milenio, para finalmente identificar las tendencias y desafíos a los cuales se enfrentan las organizaciones. Con la finalidad de recopilar la información se realizó una revisión bibliográfica y documental. Se concluye que las tendencias de la mercadotecnia se orientan al abandono del pensamiento de masas a favor de una participación individualizada con los clientes, en la cual se les trate de una forma muy personal, reconociendo sus intereses y necesidades y creándose un vínculo permanente que no sólo promueva las ventas presentes sino que garantice las ventas futuras de la compañía. Asimismo el estudio reveló que entre los retos más importantes a los que se tienen que enfrentar las organizaciones, están la globalización, la cambiante economía mundial, el auge de la tecnología de la información y la exigencia de una mayor responsabilidad ética y social, lo que implica la necesidad de darle un valor agregado al producto que siga siendo atractiva para el mercado.

Gender operations: the film XXY (2007 and the constitution of the body and sex as “natural”.

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Luciana Fogaça Monteiro

2009-11-01

Full Text Available Based on Foucault’s concept of the body as the surface of inscription of history, and on the work of Judith Butler, this article questions the way that binary and normative conceptions of gender operate in the constitution of a field of intelligibility for subjects and their bodies. We analyse the film XXY (2007 that tells the story of Alex, an intersexual adolescent. We use the main character's story to see how gender norms act to shape bodies and limit their pleasures. We argue that subjects and bodies that do not correspond to the normative ideal are seen as “abject bodies”, following Butler’s definition. The argument is that gender norms operate on all bodies: the normal and the abject.

El panorama de la última década se reconstruyó con base en análisis de aerofotografías, cuantificación de datos censales y análisis de datos de las entidades de planificación y control a la urbanización informal. Los resultados sugieren que debido al agotamiento relativo del suelo en Bogotá, entre otros aspectos, las dinámicas a partir de las cuales opera el mercado informal han experimentado cambios frente a décadas anteriores, pues el crecimiento en densificación de asentamientos en la ciudad consolidada cobra mayor importancia relativa frente al desarrollo informal en las periferias, pero a la vez se intuye una expansión de la informalidad que trasciende el perímetro distrital.

Se señalan igualmentealgunos tópicos sobre los cuales hay debate entre los conductistas, tales como el nivel de molecularidad o molaridad en elanálisis, la necesidad o no de factores mediadores y el uso de la investigación ideográfica vs la investigación nomotética.El trabajo concluye señalando cómo algunos de los conceptos más conocidos como «estímulo», «respuesta»,«condicionamiento» entre otros, no son esenciales al conductismo y eventualmente podrían ser reemplazados por otros.ABSTRACTA conceptual review of Behaviorism is presented in which its main features are discussed with the purpose of assessingits viability as a proposal for the XXIth century.

Full Text Available La evolución de alfabetismos se produjo como resultado de la transición de una cultura oral a una cultura letrada. El presente estudio examina las principales tendencias de la multialfabetización a principios del siglo XXI. Se combina el método de análisis documental y el método bibliométrico en el análisis de la evolución de los alfabetismos, a través de documentos que establecen pautas en su fundamentación y el comportamiento de la producción científica por año en la primera década del siglo XXI. Se revela el lugar destacado que ocupan la Alfabetización Mediática y la Alfabetización Informacional con respecto al resto de las expresiones que surgen. La Alfabetización Multimedia es un alfabetismo poco abordado en la literatura como proceso de formación de competencias vinculadas a la recepción y producción de mensajes a partir de la convergencia de lenguajes y medios. La noción de Alfabetización Mediática e Informacional (AMI constituye la principal tendencia que integra los diversos alfabetismos que promueven la participación activa en la construcción y transformación del individuo y la sociedad.

Cyberwar XXI: quantifying the unquantifiable: adaptive AI for next-generation conflict simulations

Science.gov (United States)

Miranda, Joseph; von Kleinsmid, Peter; Zalewski, Tony

2004-08-01

The era of the "Revolution in Military Affairs," "4th Generation Warfare" and "Asymmetric War" requires novel approaches to modeling warfare at the operational and strategic level of modern conflict. For example, "What if, in response to our planned actions, the adversary reacts in such-and-such a manner? What will our response be? What are the possible unintended consequences?" Next generation conflict simulation tools are required to help create and test novel courses of action (COA's) in support of real-world operations. Conflict simulations allow non-lethal and cost-effective exploration of the "what-if" of COA development. The challenge has been to develop an automated decision-support software tool which allows competing COA"s to be compared in simulated dynamic environments. Principal Investigator Joseph Miranda's research is based on modeling an integrated military, economic, social, infrastructure and information (PMESII) environment. The main effort was to develop an adaptive AI engine which models agents operating within an operational-strategic conflict environment. This was implemented in Cyberwar XXI - a simulation which models COA selection in a PMESII environment. Within this framework, agents simulate decision-making processes and provide predictive capability of the potential behavior of Command Entities. The 2003 Iraq is the first scenario ready for V&V testing.

Mastery of employability skills is one of the main characteristics of HR XXI Century. The conclusions of various theoretical and empirical studies show that human resources with high employability skills are not only easier to find a job but will also be able to exist and develop successfully in their work. This study aims to describe the opinion of the industry leaders about the importance of employability skills owned by SMK graduates, to identify the various values of employability skills that the industry needs from SMK graduates, and categorize the values of employability skills that SMK graduates should have. A total of 27 industries partner of SMK in East Java were involved in survey research and 14 productive teachers from seven SMKs were included in the FGD on employability skills development. The results showed that (1) all industry leaders argue that the graduates of SMK must have good employability skills, (2) dimensions of employability skills include the fundamental skills, personal management skills, and team work skills; and (3) the ownership of various values of employability skills by SMK graduates can be classified into two, namely (a) must be owned and should be developed in SMK, and (b) well owned and better developed in SMK.

A novel CDKL5 mutation in a 47,XXY boy with the early-onset seizure variant of Rett syndrome.

Sartori, Stefano; Di Rosa, Gabriella; Polli, Roberta; Bettella, Elisa; Tricomi, Giovanni; Tortorella, Gaetano; Murgia, Alessandra

2009-02-01

Mutations of the cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 gene (CDKL5), reported almost exclusively in female subjects, have been recently found to be the cause of a phenotype overlapping Rett syndrome with early-onset epileptic encephalopathy. We describe the first CDKL5 mutation detected in a male individual with 47,XXY karyotype. This previously unreported, de novo, mutation truncates the large CDKL5 COOH-terminal region, thought to be crucial for the proper sub-cellular localization of the CDKL5 protein. The resulting phenotype is characterized by a severe early-onset epileptic encephalopathy, global developmental delay, and profound intellectual and motor impairment with features reminiscent of Rett syndrome. In light of the data presented we discuss the possible phenotypic modulatory effects of the supernumerary wild type X allele and pattern of X chromosome inactivation and stress the importance of considering the causal involvement of CDKL5 in developmentally delayed males with early-onset seizures.

Full Text Available As características da cultura e da sociedade se alteraram profundamente na medida em que novas formas de comunicação dependentes das tecnologias digitais adquiriram um uso generalizado, modificando o modo como buscamos e produzimos informação. Entretanto, as ciências sociais ainda analisam este fenômeno de maneira tímida, negligenciando os efeitos das tecnologias digitais nas sociedades e, sobretudo, no próprio ofício da sociologia. O presente artigo descreve o modo como as mudanças tecnológicas representam um dos grandes desafios para a sociologia do século XXI, argumentando que é necessário não apenas o aperfeiçoamento de aspectos tecnológicos da pesquisa - como, por exemplo, o domínio de softwares de análise qualitativa e quantitativa e de redes sociais digitais - mas, fundamentalmente, o avanço em termos do significado epistemológico destas tecnologias para a imaginação sociológica. Na primeira seção, é apresentada a proposta da sociologia digital. Em seguida, descreve-se o fenômeno da produção massiva de dados digitais e os desafios que tal contexto coloca para a sociologia. A terceira seção avalia as implicações para a sociologia do uso de softwares. A última seção defende a necessidade urgente de uma atualização teórico-metodológica da sociologia frente à produção massiva de dados digitais. Por fim, argumenta-se que a sobrevivência da sociologia dependerá da instrumentalização tecnológica aliada a uma reflexão diante de um novo horizonte de questões da era digital.

Full Text Available El análisis de la dinámica de cambio de los regadíos españoles en la primera década del siglo XXI es el objetivo de esta investigación. Éstos se caracterizan, grosso modo, por un continuo incremento de la superficie y la implantación de la modalidad de riego localizado. Éste aumento, a diferencia de décadas anteriores, se debe en gran medida a la expansión que han registrado las superficies ocupadas por olivar, viñedo y algunos cereales, cultivos tradicionalmente de secano, en comarcas que, con anterioridad a estas fechas, no tenían tradición en las prácticas del regadío, frente a la atonía de aprovechamientos como hortalizas o ciertos frutales.

Impacto económico del ocio en el siglo XXI

Full Text Available The twenty-first century has radically changed the concept of leisure. Leisure was conceived to happen only out of working hours. Nowadays we are looking for important experiences during all our lives. The Institute of Leisure Studies of the University of Deusto focuses on the human experience beyond the tangible products. We are witnessing a major cultural change in the developed world where most of the population has turned into a philosophy that could be summed up as “having less, enjoying more”. At the same time, the TIC’S revolution has propitiated a deep change in the field of the cultural leisure through new areas as consumer electronics –with its greatest exponent: video games– and virtual communities. Leisure, as a result, has become a significant economic sector with a brilliant future. We are trying to address in this article its impact in terms of production, employment and income.

El siglo XXI es testigo de una transformación en el concepto de ocio, con un importante aumento de sus actividades con transcendencia económica. Hasta ahora el ocio se consideraba en los períodos de no trabajo y hoy se buscan experiencias importantes a lo largo de todo la vida. El Instituto de Estudios de Ocio de la Universidad de Deusto centra su interés en la experiencia humana más allá de los productos tangibles. Asistimos a un cambio cultural importante en el mundo desarrollado donde la mayor parte de la población se ha volcado en una filosofía que se podría resumir como “tener menos, disfrutar más”. Paralelamente, las TIC’s han propiciado una revolución en el campo del ocio: el ocio digital con manifestaciones como los videojuegos o las comunidades virtuales. Todo ello se traduce en un importante impacto económico en términos de generación de producción, empleo y renta que tratamos de abordar en este artículo.

Achondroplasia with 47, XXY karyotype: a case report of the neonatal diagnosis of an extremely unusual association.

2012-06-29

The association of achondroplasia and Klinefelter syndrome is extremely rare. To date, five cases have been previously reported, all of them diagnosed beyond the postnatal period, and only one was molecularly characterized. We describe the first case of this unusual association diagnosed in the neonatal period, the clinical findings and the molecular studies undertaken. The boy was born at term with clinical and radiological features indicating the diagnosis of achondroplasia or hypochondroplasia combined with the prenatal karyotype of Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY). Neonatal FGFR3 mutation screening showed that the newborn was heterozygous for the classic achondroplasia G340R mutation. Microsatellite marker analysis showed that the sex chromosome aneuploidy had arisen from a non-disjunction error in paternal meiosis I, with a recombination event in the pseudoautosomal region 1 (PAR1). Specific mutation analysis is appropriate to confirm the clinical diagnosis of achondroplasia for appropriate diagnosis, prognosis, and genetic counseling, especially when the karyotype does not explain the abnormal prenatal sonographic findings. In the present case, a recombination event was observed in the PAR1 region, although recombinational events in paternally derived Klinefelter syndrome cases are much rarer than expected.

Aim To review systematically the neurodevelopmental characteristics of individuals with sex chromosome trisomies (SCTs). Method A bibliographic search identified English-language articles on SCTs. The focus was on studies unbiased by clinical referral, with power of at least 0.69 to detect an effect size of 1.0. Results We identified 35 articles on five neonatally identified samples that had adequate power for our review. An additional 11 studies were included where cases had been identified for reasons other than neurodevelopmental concerns. Individuals with an additional X chromosome had mean IQs that were within broadly normal limits but lower than the respective comparison groups, with verbal IQ most affected. Cognitive outcomes were poorest for females with XXX. Males with XYY had normal-range IQs, but all three SCT groups (XXX, XXY, and XYY) had marked difficulties in speech and language, motor skills, and educational achievement. Nevertheless, most adults with SCTs lived independently. Less evidence was available for brain structure and for attention, social, and psychiatric outcomes. Within each group there was much variation. Interpretation Individuals with SCTs are at risk of cognitive and behavioural difficulties. However, the evidence base is slender, and further research is needed to ascertain the nature, severity, and causes of these difficulties in unselected samples. PMID:20059514

Roman Paklena pomorandža Entonija Bardžisa, objavljen 1962. godine, postao je jedno od kultnih književnih dela XX veka, pre svega zahvaljujući istoimenom filmu Stenlija Kjubrika iz 1971.

DINÂMICA ECONÔMICA E REDE URBANA CEARENSE NO INÍCIO DO SÉCULO XXI

2012-03-01

Full Text Available Este artigo discute a dinâmica econômica e a evolução da rede urbana do Ceará nesta primeira década do século XXI. Além das heranças seculares, toma como elemento decisivo na estruturação do espaço cearense as diversas políticas implementadas pelos governos estaduais que articularam a economia cearense aos movimentos das economias brasileira e internacional, influenciando sua organização espacial. Mostra que foi no período colonial que a capital cearense tornou-se principal centro urbano do estado graças à centralização dos excedentes das atividades sertanejas sustentadas no binômio pecuária-algodão. Posteriormente, apresenta as transformações verificadas na fase de integração do mercado nacional, quando se concentraram os principais investimentos na cidade de Fortaleza. Dada essa grande concentração, observam-se esforços de descentralização da atividade produtiva, a partir de uma ação deliberada do governo do estado, através dos instrumentos da guerra fiscal que atraíram para o interior importantes investimentos, sem, contudo, reduzir as disparidades intraestaduais ainda fortemente marcadas pelo predomínio metropolitano. Não obstante, surgem focos dinâmicos na economia cearense, contribuindo para uma maior diferenciação do interior do estado.

Full Text Available Salud para todos en el siglo XXI renueva el compromiso con el concepto y la visión de salud para todos, tal como se definió en 1977, cuando la 30a Asamblea Mundial de la Salud resolvió que el principal objetivo social de los gobiernos y de la OMS en los decenios venideros debería ser "alcanzar para todos los ciudadanos del mundo en el año 2000 un grado de salud que les permita llevar una vida social y económicamente productiva". Este proceso, que se interpreta de forma diferente según las características sociales, económicas y de salud de cada país, ha contribuido a la mejora paulatina del acceso a la atención primaria de salud, a la disminución mundial de la morbilidad y la mortalidad infantiles y a un aumento considerable de la esperanza de vida. Aun así, todavía hay muchos problemas que resolver. Desde 1990, el sistema de las Naciones Unidas ha convocado nueve conferencias mundiales en las que se han acordado por consenso universal las prioridades de un programa de trabajo para el futuro, incluido el apoyo pleno del logro de salud para todos. Los nuevos enfoques giran en torno al desarrollo centrado en el ser humano, lo cual comprende erradicar la pobreza, satisfacer las necesidades básicas y proteger los derechos humanos, incluido el de la salud.

Considero un honor y un privilegio compartir con ustedes algunos de los retos de Enfermería Profesional en el campo pediátrico y de salud familiar comunitaria, para su liderazgo en el Hospital Infantil.

He dividido mi presentación en dos partes. En la primera hago una breve reflexión sobre la evolución y afloramiento de nuestros conocimientos inherentes al ejercicio de la enfermería clínica. En la segunda parte, me proyecto al futuro mostrando un nuevo perfil que confió encuentre eco en las generaciones jóvenes a quienes les corresponde hacer la transición en el siglo XXI.

Evolución, Oportunidades y Retos

En la actualidad y en especial al interior de enfermería hospitalaria se atravieza por una gran crisis, en valores, en asuntos económicos, en condiciones de trabajo y otros que merecen nuestra atención colegiada para su solución.

Según Fridson, (1, 1970 sociológo dedicado al análisis de las profesiones, Enfermería y Medicina escogieron rutas diferentes para su desarrollo ocupacional. Medicina en la década del 30 y bajo los efectos de la gran depresión económica, desarrolló sus especialidades clínicas en base a la práctica surgida con el comienzo del internado rotando por los servicios tradicionales de medicina, cirugía, pediatría y obstetricia.

Esto contribuyó a que en el seno de los hospitales surgieran otras carreras como apoyo a esas especialidades, campo ocupado casi con exclusividad hasta entonces por· Enfermería; del fisiatra y neumólogo, se formaron las terapias; del patólogo las bacteriólogas.

Full Text Available Purpose of the article is to analyze the philosophical and cultural ideas about television, which is a leading visual practice of XX century. It does not lose its relevance in the beginning of the XXI. The role of television lies in visual presentation and formation of the basic norms of taste and traditions of different social groups. Television is the leading communicative practice, which consideration is represented differently in modern science. Research methodology involves an appeal to the philosophical and cultural concepts, representing different approaches to the understanding of television. The paper considers the views of Western scholars, such as R. Arnheim, M. Wolff, A. Kroker, G. Lipovetsky, M. McLuhan, D. Mulvin, J. Mittell, N. Postman, L. Saffhil, J. Sterne, E. Thompson, J. Fiske, S. Shapiro. During analysis of the issue of the specific nature of television content the works of Russian scientists – T. Savitskaya, N. Samutina and Polish contemporary author – R. Sapenko were used. Originality lies in the depiction of the main approaches to the study of television as a visual communicative practice. Deployment of the author's position within the designated issues is presented as a historical digression – from the first attempts at understanding the phenomenon of television to the newest scientific theories that have found expression in contemporary American philosophical and cultural thought. Results of the study can be used in the training course "Visual communication and practices." Conclusions indicated that the majority of contemporary visual practices based on certain patterns, embedded TV. Despite the emergence of new media practices, TV does not lose relevance, everywhere present in the culture, which means that his research will allow a better understanding of the specificity of cultural creativity process.

Não sendo mais o sinal de uma necessidade de reivindicação de um patrimônio cultural nacional, como foi o seu papel durante séculos de historiografia literária e cultural, a natureza ressurge na ficção brasileira, de modo inédito, por outros sentidos – de revelação, destruição ou utopia –, excedendo e renovando sua imagem inicial, propagandística, de representação de uma nação. A consequência dessa passagem simbólica, e que mimetizaria o movimento da ficção brasileira atual, é a sua desapropriação como um bem orgulhosamente nacional e a sua integração no que poderíamos chamar de literatura mundial.

Full Text Available Resumo O tema da desigualdade tem uma larga tradição de análise nas Ciências Sociais. Até o final do século XX, a desigualdade econômica ocupava boa parte dessas discussões. De lá para cá, as desigualdades passaram a ser vistas como multidimensionais, mas permanece relevante o estudo da distribuição desigual de renda, riqueza e capital. A obra "O Capital no Século XXI", do economista francês Thomas Piketty, publicada em 2013, na França, e em 2014, no Brasil, envereda por esse caminho e ilumina novas indagações sobre a atualidade e os rumos da desigualdade econômica. Esta resenha crítica objetiva apresentar as principais contribuições do autor para o debate público e acadêmico. Além disso, ambiciona refletir sobre uma agenda para a Sociologia atual, desde a importância de entender como ocorre a gênese e a legitimação da reprodução das desigualdades de oportunidades no nosso tempo.

Flores contra canhões? O impasse da ética frente às guerras do século XXI

2007-01-01

Full Text Available Os conflitos que inauguram o século XXI dão a impressão de que a paz é um objetivo quase inatingível. Diante das novas ameaças, nada faz crer que o terror provocado pela guerra fria encontre-se superado. Ao lado das formas tradicionais de luta, uma guerra quase surda eclode no seio das sociedades. A fome, por exemplo, é uma arma que mata em silêncio, e a violência e a miséria revelam que o estado de natureza persiste. A questão que se coloca, então é a seguinte: é possível falar em paz pensando apenas em critérios éticos? Os problemas no Oriente Médio, o desrespeito às resoluções da ONU por parte de alguns Estados, tudo isso mostra a pouca eficácia do discurso quando não acompanhada da força. O objetivo deste trabalho é apontar os limites da ética pura para combater a violência e mostrar que a normatização do mundo não pode, ainda, prescindir da “crítica das armas”.

Full Text Available Neste trabalho demonstrar-se-á o desafio do modelo desenvolvimentista atual em direção à preconizada e colimada sustentabilidade. A primeira década deste século XXI foi marcada por dois marcos, um ambiental (as mudanças climáticas e outro de mercado (a crise econômica mundial, que colocaram em cheque o sistema capitalista, tendo em vista as soluções insustentáveis que foram tomadas para enfrentar estes marcos. Foram objeto de análise da pesquisa, a não adesão dos EUA ao Protocolo de Quioto; o contraponto dos países “em desenvolvimento” entre desenvolver-se ora sustentavelmente, ora insustentavelmente; e o fomento do consumo como única alternativa encontrada pelo países para a saída da crise econômica mundial.

Full Text Available From the last decades of the twentieth century, the rural sector of the Argentine Northwest was the scene of deep territorial and productive transformations linked to the expansion of extractive activities. The effects of these activities include privatization, concentration and land grabs, generating an increase of social and territorial inequality. The aim of this paper is therefore to analyze the socio-territorial inequality in rural areas of Northwest Argentina in the first decade of the XXI century. Four dimensions were analyzed: poverty, education, habitat quality, and agrarian structure. For the analysis of the first three dimensions, data from national population census 2001 and 2010 were used. For the analysis of the territorial and productive transformations were used data from national agricultural censuses 1988, 2002 and 2008. The results allow us to observe that while the habitat quality and education improved during the first decade of the century, there are high poverty and vulnerability in a context of a progressively unequal agrarian structure.

Full Text Available RESUMEN Este artículo presenta la configuración del territorio en la Provincia del Chaco (Argentina como reflejo del papel desempeñado en los modelos de acumulación dominantes desde el Virreinato del Alto Perú hasta la actualidad. Se analizan los procesos de ocupación poblacional, la expansión de las actividades productivas y el avance de las redes viales, ferroviarias, fluviales y energéticas. Para el siglo XXI se han identificado planes y proyectos de transporte y de energía que involucran al territorio chaqueño, tanto aquellos formulados desde instancias supranacionales como los priorizados por agendas nacionales y provinciales, considerando que podrían modificar la estructura territorial y las oportunidades de desarrollo de esta región. Así se considera la posibilidad de que haya un cambio para los territorios que históricamente han quedado relegados y que hoy pasarían a ocupar un nuevo lugar en la geografía de los proyectos de interconexión a escala regional, y que movilizan oportunidades para nuevos proyectos a escala local. ABSTRACT This paper analyses territorial configuration in the Province of Chaco (Argentine, reflecting the role played in dominant accumulation models, from the Viceroyalty of Peru Alto until today. Population processes, productive activities expansion and networks construction (roads, railways, ports, energy installations, are analyzed. For the XXI century, transport and energy plans and projects, involving and the Chaco territory, have been identified. We have taken into account those initiatives promoted from supranational organizations as well as those prioritized in national and provincial agendas, considering they could change territorial structure and development opportunities for this region. In this way we consider the possibility of change for those territories that have been historically relegated and today they would occupy a new place in the geography of regional interconnection projects

La recherche est axée sur la conception d’un modèle qui permettrait un développement de compétences génériques de l’enseignement à distance basé sur l’apprentissage autonome ce qui pourrait constituer un modèle de formation des ressources humaines de l’organisation du XXI ème siècle. L’étude réalisée est de caractère exploratoire et la proposition en première instance est l’identification des variables du modèle et, en deuxième instance, la construction de celui-ci. La méthodologie utilisée est un Delphi ayant rassemblé 30 experts en enseignement á distance. Le questionnaire a été proposé deux fois au même groupe. Une analyse factorielle a ainsi pu être réalisée. Les résultats de la recherche ont rendu possible un Modèle pour la Génération de Compétences Génériques de l’Enseignement á Distance basé sur l’apprentissage autonome grâce à la combinaison de neuf catégories de variables, dont l’importance a été démontrée. Toutefois, il est également apparu que cette relation devrait être maximisée par le biais de stratégies de contrôle dirigées vers les objectifs que l’on souhaite atteindre car il existe des facteurs inhérents aux catégories qui dépendent de conditions personnelles ainsi que du processus d’apprentissage personnel, ce qui pourrait devenir des obstacles au modèle.

Full Text Available As novas tecnologias e a globalização vêm trazendo a possibilidade de estruturas mais democráticas de comunicação, produção e consumo, assim como de novos padrões de sociabilidade e de novas formas de atuação política. Na área da  mídia, a internet tende a minar o poder da indústria cultural, bem como seus efeitos  alienantes. Essa parece ser a tendência no Ocidente, no século XXI. No Brasil, no  entanto, o tipo de oligopolização do setor de comunicações existente tem mantido  um predomínio da mídia televisiva tradicional (aberta e paga não encontradiço  em países avançados. Não se trata de mera sobrevida de um padrão antigo em um  mundo em transição. Há uma articulação perversa dessa mídia com as exigências  do capitalismo pós-industrial, que se expressa sobremaneira nos momentos do lazer  e do consumo dos jovens e das crianças. Ocorre, pois, um paradoxo, talvez típico da  pós-modernidade brasileira, que, em um extremo, abriga um consumidor – cidadão  muito crítico, e no outro, técnicas de indução ao  consumismo, especialmente o infantil; ele é o tema de nossa reflexão.

To evaluate the changes in beverage consumption among adolescents between 2003 and 2008. Two school-based cross-sectional studies were carried out with public school students (12 to 19 years-old) from Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Data from three food records were used to estimate daily, weekdays and weekend average consumption (volume and percent contribution for total daily energy intake) of milk and milk-based beverages, sugar sweetened beverages, fresh squeezed fruit juices, caffeinated and alcoholic beverages. Beverage consumption age-adjusted means for weekdays and weekends were compared using linear regression (Generalized Linear Models - GLM). A total of 433 adolescents were examined in 2003, and 510 in 2008. The prevalence of overweight was 17% in 2003 and 22% in 2008 (p > 0.05). Milk was the most consumed beverage, being reported by 89% of adolescents, followed by sodas (75%). In general, in the five-year period, there was an increase in the prevalence of consumption of alcoholic drinks, guarana syrup refreshment, and processed fruit drinks, especially on weekdays. The soft drink was the largest contributor to the total energy consumption, corresponding on average to 4% of daily energy intake. The main changes in the beverage consumption among adolescents from Niterói, in the first decade of the XXI century, were the tendency to reduce the consumption of milk and the increase in the consumption of processed and alcoholic beverages.

Full Text Available Argentina, históricamente, ha presentado profundas desigualdades socioeconómicas regionales. Las provincias del Noroeste mostraron notorias diferencias respecto a las pampeanas en la producción de riqueza. Así, a fines del siglo xx, mientras en las provincias pampeanas la pobreza alcanzaba al 32,9% de su población, en el norte estas privaciones se duplicaban. Este artículo tiene por objeto analizar comparativamente las características de estas privaciones —considerando escalas provinciales y departamentales—, vinculándolas a su vez con las transformaciones económicas y productivas y con los problemas de empleo a lo largo del siglo xx e inicios del xxi. Los resultados advierten un notorio proceso de fragmentación socioterritorial como corolario de la persistencia de la desigualdad. Se destaca el recrudecimiento de dicha fragmentación en determinadas provincias y departamentos argentinos.

Discorre sobre o modelo biomédico, paradigma dominante no mundo contemporâneo, que supervaloriza o método científico em detrimento de uma visão humanista do homem e holística de saúde. A busca da superação deste modelo tem possibilitado práticas alternativas em saúde entre os diversos profissionais da área. Discute o saber e o poder na prática profissional, suas relações com o processo formador que pouco têm contribuído na formação de enfermeiro com consciência crítica. Superar esses impasses requer o redimensionamento do processo de trabalho, organização, mobilização e ações coletivas da categoria.

Espacio y tiempo en el siglo XXI: velocidad, instantaneidad y su repercusión en la comunicación humana

Full Text Available El espacio y el tiempo son dos conceptos que permiten al ser humano poner orden y comprender aquello que le rodea. La digitalización que caracteriza al siglo XXI ha resignificado estos parámetros reduciendo su valor a un aquí y ahora, minimizando las distancias y los márgenes temporales. El presente artículo expone en primer lugar un estado de la cuestión sobre el estudio del espacio y del tiempo y la influencia de la tecnología en estos conceptos. Asimismo reflexiona sobre la celeridad que domina los ritmos diarios; cómo las nuevas tecnologías han fomentado una dictadura de la instantaneidad que se ha normalizado sin cuestionar sus consecuencias. El espacio y el tiempo también se confunden en la red. Lo público y lo privado convergen en ella. La información que los usuarios comparten en Internet puede ser usada con fines poco lícitos. Finalmente, el artículo aborda el problema de exclusión social asociado a la brecha digital y propone soluciones para una alfabetización digital que fomente el uso responsable de las herramientas de comunicación digital.

Executive dysfunction and the relation with behavioral problems in children with 47,XXY and 47,XXX.

van Rijn, S; Swaab, H

2015-02-01

Neuroimaging studies have shown that having an extra X chromosome is associated with abnormal structure and function of brain areas in the frontal lobe, which is crucially involved in executive functioning. However, there is little of knowledge of the type and severity of executive dysfunction, and the impact on emotional and behavioral problems. The present study aims to provide in this. In total, 40 children (23 boys with 47,XXY and 17 girls with 47,XXX) with an extra X chromosome and 100 non-clinical controls (47 boys and 53 girls) participated in the study. The participants were 9-18 years old. Processing speed and executive functioning were assessed using the Amsterdam Neuropsychological Testbattery (ANT) and the Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX). Problems in emotional and behavioral functioning were assessed with the Childhood Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Children with an extra X chromosome showed deficits in inhibition, mental flexibility, sustained attention and visual working memory. Parental report showed high levels of everyday manifestations of executive dysfunction. More severe inhibition difficulties were associated with higher levels of thought problems, aggression and rule breaking behavior. Boys and girls with an extra X chromosome could not be differentiated based on severity of executive dysfunction, however, girls had lower information processing speed than boys. These findings suggest that executive dysfunction may be part of the phenotype of children with an extra X chromosome, impacting the ability to function adequately in everyday life. Furthermore, children with impairments in inhibition may have more problems in regulating their thinking, emotions and behavior. © 2015 John Wiley & Sons Ltd and International Behavioural and Neural Genetics Society.

Destaca a incompetência da ciência para a solução dos principais problemas decorrentes do avanço científico, em especial o fenômeno da exclusão social. Analisa o princípio da complexidade e a sua relação com a construção de uma nova ética para o futuro. Mostra a incapacidade da disciplinaridade para dar conta dos problemas decorrentes do avanço científico deste século. Enfatiza a interdisciplinaridade para um primeiro passo na solução dos mesmos e, como transposição paradigmática, valoriza o princípio da transdisciplinaridade. Propõe os conceitos de permacultura, desenvolvimento sustentável, biologia do conhecimento e ecologia social como ferramentas para concretizar a interdisciplinaridade na produção do conhecimento. Conclui que a expansão de formas de democracia participativa é uma alternativa de gestão pública útil para equacionar o problema da exclusão social. E que se trata de um mecanismo de participação popular que permite às comunidades atuarem no controle público do Estado e do governo, e podem criar novas perspectivas de vida pública.

Full Text Available This article studies the process of transformation of the Swedish political party system in the 1980s. The study aims to develop a typology of the Swedish political party system before and after the transformation processes commenced. The article identifies the key prerequisites for such transformation: the crisis of social democracy and an increase in the nationalist attitudes in the society caused by the negative repercussions of the system of integration of migrants into the society based on the multiculturalism principles. The interethnic tension manifested itself in the wide support for the Swedish Democrats Party in the 2010 parliamentary election. From a political party system dominated by social democrats, the Swedish political party system turned into one with two leading parties – the centre-left Swedish Social Democratic Labour Party and the centre-right Moderate Party. The Swedish Democrats position themselves as an alternative to the two party blocs headed by the dominating parties (the Alliance and the Red-Green. The study employs an interdisciplinary approach in the framework of science synthesis. Its results can be of practical significance for politicians, social activists, and academicians.

Este estudio se desarrolló en la Unidad de Investigación de Análisis de Políticas Públicas y Desarrollo Socio-educativo de la Universidad de Carabobo. Tomando como referencias teóricas a E. Morin y J. Habermas, se desarrollan tres categorías presentes en la realidad de Venezuela: el Socialismo del Siglo XXI, el Estado Docente y la Autonomía Universitaria. El tratamiento metodológico parte del planteamiento de la premisa: el Nuevo Modelo de Educación Universitaria que está por construirse, se debe a la crisis del modelo cognitivo instrumental instituido en la Constitución de la República de Venezuela (1961, sus Leyes y Reglamentos. Al triangular las tres categorías se plantea, como valor agregado, concebir la educación a través de un proceso transdisciplinario, sustentado en una primera instancia por el ordenamiento jurídico que le dé concreción y sincronización en el tiempo y el movimiento. En el caso de la educación venezolana, se concluye que no se han producidos cambios significativos que nos indiquen que estamos en presencia de un nuevo modelo de educación. La educación universitaria sigue atada al modelo cognitivo instrumental, impidiendo cualquier cambio que desde su seno se pretenda impulsar, de manera que la nueva Ley de Educación Universitaria y el nuevo modelo de educación siguen diferido.

Klinefelter syndrome (47, XXY) is associated with several physical, cognitive, and behavioral consequences. In terms of social development, there is an increased risk of autism symptomatology. However, it remains unclear how social deficits are related to abnormal brain development and to what degree underlying mechanisms of social dysfunction in 47, XXY are similar to, or different from, those in idiopathic autism (ASD). This study was aimed at investigating the neural architecture of brain structures related to social information processing in boys with 47, XXY, also in comparison with boys with idiopathic ASD. MRI scans of 16 boys with 47, XXY, 16 with ASD, and 16 nonclinical, male controls were analyzed using voxel-based morphometry (VBM). A region of interest mask containing the superior temporal cortex, amygdala, orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), insular cortex, and medial frontal cortex was used. The Social Responsiveness Scale (SRS) was used to assess degree of autism spectrum symptoms. The 47, XXY group could not be distinguished from the ASD group on mean SRS scores, and their scores were significantly higher than in controls. VBM showed that boys with 47, XXY have significant gray matter volume reductions in the left and right insula, and the left OFC, compared with controls and boys with ASD. Additionally, boys with 47, XXY had significantly less gray matter in the right superior temporal gyrus than controls. These results imply social challenges associated with 47, XXY may be rooted in neural anatomy, and autism symptoms in boys with 47, XXY and boys with ASD might have, at least partially, different underlying etiologies.

Full Text Available A educação do povo Cigano passou por sucessivas fases ao longo de mais de quinhentos anos de vida na Espanha. Começando com um longo período de exclusão durante os séculos XVI, XVII e XVIII e continuando durante os processos evangelizadores no decurso do século XIX pelo Padre Manjón, a doutrinação das Escolas do Patronato dos Subúrbios no período pós-guerra, as segregações das Escolas “Puente” da Espanha de Franco nos anos 70, os paternalistas da Educação Compensatória da Espanha Democrática e, finalmente, os “inclusivos” da Lei Orgânica de Educação, do começo do século XXI. Entretanto estas tentativas não tiveram êxito durante a sua implementação. O resultado é que ainda hoje persiste uma elevada taxa de absenteísmo e fracasso escolar entre a população cigana ao finalizar os estudos do ESO e segundo grau. Esta situação exige a apresentação de um novo paradigma educacional, com objetivos, conteúdos, recursos metodológicos e técnicas adaptadas a realidade do povo Cigano.

Klinefelter's syndrome (KS) is associated with specific neurobehavioral features and personality traits. The aim of our study was to investigate fluid intelligence, personality traits and personality disorders (PD) and possible correlations with testosterone in a cohort of adult KS patients. We analyzed 58 adult KS patients with the classic 47, XXY karyotype. The Structured Clinical Interview for axis II disorders was used to assess DSM IV personality disorders. Personality traits were assessed using MMPI-2. Fluid intelligence was tested by using Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) Test. Testosterone blood concentration was measured by CMIA. PD prevalence was 31%. Four altered MMPI scales (Social Responsibility, Dominance, Ego Strength and Repression) were found in more than 40% of patients. Overcontrolled hostility and MacAndrew Alcoholism Scale-Revised scales were altered in the PD- group only. Biz-Odd Thinking and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder scale were associated with the presence of personality disorder. The raw SPM score was 44 ± 10.8 without any significant correlation with testosterone. No significant difference in mean age, SPM raw score and MMPI score was observed between eugonadal, hypogonadal and treated patients. Most KS patients had average fluid intelligence. PD prevalence was higher than in the general population. Testosterone was not correlated with fluid intelligence, personality traits or PD, but a reduction in marital distress was observed in treated patients. This could suggest that testosterone therapy can improve physical symptoms and this effect could also improve relationship abilities and wellness awareness.

Full Text Available Na primeira década do século XXI registra-se a ocorrência de dois movimentos importantes no âmbito da assistência odontológica pública e privada no Brasil: a entrada da saúde bucal na agenda de prioridades políticas do governo federal e o vigoroso crescimento na oferta de serviços odontológicos suplementares. Analisou-se a ocorrência desses fenômenos no município de São Paulo, mediante a busca de dados nos documentos oficiais e nas bases eletrônicas da Prefeitura Municipal de São Paulo, do Ministério da Saúde e da Agência Nacional de Saúde Suplementar (ANS, além de consulta à literatura científica. No período estudado, de janeiro de 2000 a dezembro de 2009, com base em indicadores como a Cobertura de Primeira Consulta Odontológica Programática e a Cobertura Populacional Potencial, verificaram-se percentuais que caracterizam baixa assistência pública e uma situação de grande distanciamento do princípio constitucional do acesso universal aos cuidados odontológicos. O crescimento do número de beneficiários de serviços suplementares, por meio de planos exclusivamente odontológicos e de outros planos foi expressivo em igual período, correspondendo a uma importante ampliação da cobertura populacional nesta modalidade assistencial. Constata-se que, comparativamente ao quadro geral nacional, a situação do município de São Paulo revela precariedade no acesso à assistência odontológica pública, com reduzida oferta de serviços a adultos e idosos. Considerando, ainda, as limitações do mercado de serviços suplementares para prover assistência odontológica para todos os brasileiros, reforça-se a necessidade de continuidade e expansão do Brasil Sorridente, que é a expressão programática da Política Nacional de Saúde Bucal.Two concomitant movements occur in the first decade of the XXI century within the private and public dental services in Brazil: the entrance of oral health on the agenda of

decreciente se estabilizaba y a partir de 1984, comenzaba a ascender paulatinamente y, en algunas regiones del planeta en forma vertiginosa.

Este despertar del proceso llamó naturalmente la atención de los científicos, algunos de cuyos exponentes más destacados se reunieron en Londres en abril de 1993 en la Escuela Londinense de Higiene y Medicina Tropical, para celebrar el tercer Foro sobre tuberculosis que se llamó De regreso al futuro (Back to the future con el objeto de analizar las causas productoras de este inesperado ascenso.

Este renacer de la tuberculosis en el mundo se destacaba desde hacía algún tiempo no solamente en las revistas médicas sino que en los periódicos diarios y en los magazines semanales tanto de Europa como de los EE.UU., se observaban con gran frecuencia llamativos titulares referentes al asunto.

El factor hallado como el más relievante en la patología actual que pudiera destacarse como el causante de esta reactivación, fue el Síndrome de Inumodeficiencia Adquirida SIDA nuevo proceso descrito clínicamente en 1981 y cuya causaetiológica es descubierta por Montagnier en Francia y Gallo en EE.UU. en 1983 -101 años después del descubrimiento de Koch-, un virus de características especiales entre ellas las mutaciones frecuentes, proceso que se propagó rápidamente primero entre los negros especialmente de Haití, luego entre los homosexuales y posteriormente cubriendo todos los estratos humanos, tanto en sexo, como en estado socioeconómico y razas, para convertirse en la epidemia más peligrosa y de más difícil control que ataca en la actualidad al hombre.

Al coincidir la iniciación de la epidemia de SIDA con el alza en la incidencia de TBC, los estudios del Foro menciona do fueron dedicados especialmente a la simbiosis de estos dos procesos patológicos, que constituyen sin duda la llamada EPIDEMIA DEL SIGLO XXI.

Evaluation of the quality of care of the newborn with complications is an indispensable element for the improvement of strategies directed to reduce newborn mortality rates. The aim of this work was to evaluate the quality of technical and interpersonal care in the management of transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) of patients affiliated with the program "Medical Insurance Siglo XXI". A cross-sectional study was conducted in 61 hospitals affiliated with the Health Ministry with at least two cases of TTN during the first semester of 2011. Variables such as mother's health, pregnancy, birth and birth complication characteristics were analyzed. Also, newborn interventions and health conditions upon discharge were included. To measure the quality of care according to prevention, diagnosis and treatment, quality indicators were defined and validated. We analyzed 256 case files with a diagnosis of TTN; 8.9% of the mothers presented risk factors (asthma, diabetes) and 53.5% had complications during pregnancy. There were 60% of cases with TTN born by cesarean delivery; one third of these children had low birth weight and 14% were transferred to another hospital. As for the quality indicators in the area of prevention, more than 90% of risk factors (smoking, asthma, cesarean delivery) were identified. Diagnostic indicators showed that 86-98% of respiratory distress symptoms were sought. Indicators of treatment achieved satisfactory figures for monitoring and support measures. Prevention, diagnosis and treatment indicators made it possible to consider that most TTN cases received appropriate treatment. It is advisable to develop effective strategies to prevent TTN, such as increasing efforts to reduce the increasing rates of cesarean deliveries.

Full Text Available En este artículo se presentan las principales magnitudes y tendencias que caracterizan a la desnutrición en la niñez argentina en los primeros años del siglo XXI. Para abordar este problema se elaboró un indicador denominado Tasa Integral de Mortalidad por Desnutrición en la Niñez (TIMDN; se trata de un indicador de mortalidad que incluye tanto las causas directas de desnutrición (Kwashiorkor, marasmo, etc. como aquellas asociadas a este problema, muchas veces contributarias al cuadro nutricional. Se destacan entre estas causas las patologías infecciosas, diarreas, sarampión, parasitismo, bronquiolitis, neumonía, entre otras. El análisis multi-escala diacrónico y sincrónico permitió detectar brechas, asimetrías y comportamientos diferenciados tanto en la escala provincial como regional. En efecto, pudo observarse que, mientras la tasa nacional disminuyó, operaron diferentes comportamientos tanto regionales, con distintas magnitudes y tendencias, como provinciales, con algunos casos incluso de estancamiento y aumento de la desnutrición; esto resulta contrario a lo operado en el marco nacional y relacionado con un proceso de contra-transición epidemiológica señalado para el caso argentino. Con los resultados hallados se espera colaborar en la ejecución de políticas públicas específicas para aminorar y/o erradicar el problema de la desnutrición en las provincias argentinas, atendiendo a las especificidades que le son propias en cada territorio.

Full Text Available Las bibliotecas han afrontado en los últimos años el envite de la crisis y los recortes presupuestarios. Las competencias económicas e informacionales son elementos fundamentales para la superación de estas situaciones de crisis y tragedias potenciales. Aquella competencia o capacidad de hacer frente a una crisis y ser capaz de superarla es lo que se denomina resiliencia. La ética en el uso y tratamiento de la información, complementado por una adecuada alfabetización económica, es la propuesta aquí defendida para la conformación de las “sociedades resilientes” del siglo XXI. Tras una introducción multidisciplinar, abogando por la necesidad de la recuperación de la ética en el conjunto de todas las profesiones, se analiza el concepto de resiliencia, para dotarlo de contenido y significado. Resiliencia se convierte en el elemento nuclear de muchas de las políticas actualmente implementadas en la Comunidad Europea. Este naciente “mantra de desarrollo” de la resiliencia promete la recuperación de las potencialidades frente a una crisis eventual y la renovación reforzada con mejores perspectivas que antes de la misma. Dada la relativa ambigüedad y todavía escasa aplicación del concepto de resiliencia en general para el conjunto de la sociedad, exploramos la triada propuesta (ética-economía-información que nos puede conducir a la resiliencia. Entender estos tres elementos en modo integral puede permitir a la biblioteca y al profesional de la información poder participar en modo adecuado en esta tarea de la resiliencia sea a nivel local como, potencialmente, también en modo global.

Adult sagittal posture is established during childhood and adolescence. A flattened or hypercurved spine is associated with poorer musculoskeletal health in adulthood. Although anthropometry from birth onwards is expected to be a key influence on sagittal posture design, this has never been assessed during childhood. Our aim was to estimate the association between body size throughout childhood with sagittal postural patterns at age 7. Prospective cohort study. A subsample of 1029 girls and 1101 boys taking part in the 7-year-old follow-up of the birth cohort Generation XXI (Porto, Portugal) was included. We assessed the associations between anthropometric measurements (weight, height and body mass index) at birth, 4 and 7 years of age and postural patterns at age 7. Postural patterns were defined using latent profile analysis, a probabilistic model-based technique which allows for simultaneously including anthropometrics as predictors of latent profiles by means of logistic regression. Postural patterns identified were sway, flat and "neutral to hyperlordotic"in girls, and "sway to neutral", flat and hyperlordotic in boys; with flat and hyperlordotic postures representing a straightened and a rounded spine, respectively. In both girls and boys, higher weight was associated with lower odds of a flat pattern compared with a sway/"sway to neutral"pattern, with stronger associations at older ages: for example, ORs were 0.68 (95% CI 0.53 to 0.88) per SD increase in birth weight and 0.36 (95% CI 0.19 to 0.68) per SD increase in weight at age 7 in girls, with similar findings in boys. Boys with higher ponderal index at birth were more frequently assigned to the hyperlordotic pattern (OR=1.44 per SD; p=0.043). Our findings support a prospective sculpting role of body size and therefore of load on musculoskeletal spinopelvic structures, with stronger associations as children get older. © Article author(s) (or their employer(s) unless otherwise stated in the text of the

São sujeitos de direitos e deveres e devem ter sua autonomia e identidade respeitadas. Na sociedade brasileira a maioria dos jovens das classes menos favorecidas economicamente já assume responsabilidades ligadas à provisão do próprio domicílio. Assim sendo, são vários os jovens que não concluem a Educação Básica, ou tem negada a possibilidade de ingressar no Ensino Superior. Para esses jovens poderiam ser oferecidas condições e oportunidades de acesso à Educação Profissional articulada à Educação Básica.

The Caspian Sea - the unique largest enclosed inland body of water on Earth. Significant periodic sea level fluctuations are a typical feature of the sea. In the XIX-XX centuries a number of comprehensive studies of the Caspian Sea was carried out. The results are published in the papers, monographs and climatic atlases. But a number of fundamental questions about the features of the hydrological regime of the Caspian Sea is still open: 1. How does the water circulation change during the level variations? 2. What is the effect of heterogeneity of evaporation from the water surface on the formation of the flow field in the conditions of long-term level changes? 3. How does the water salinity regime change depending on the sea level position, water circulation, river flow and different climatic influences? 4. What is the effect of extreme events (multi-hazards) (ice, storms, destruction of the coasts) on coastal infrastructure? In 2016, the project aims to study hydrological regime extreme effects of the Caspian Sea was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research. Within this project all of the above problems will be solved. Geographic information system "Caspian Sea" for the storage and data processing, including a database of primary oceanographic information for the period of instrumental observations (1897-2013), cartographic database (1921-2011) and tools for multidimensional analysis of spatio-temporal information is the basis of the study. The scheme of interconnected hydrodynamic models (Caspian Sea MODel - Ocean Model - Wind wave model) was developed. The important factors are taken into account in the structure of the models: long-term and seasonal dynamics of the sea waves parameters, new long-term values of evaporation from the shallow waters areas of the Caspian Sea, water circulation. Schemes of general seasonal circulation of the Caspian Sea and the Northern Caspian at different positions of the sea level in XX-XXI centuries using

Full Text Available El presente artículo trata sobre la “expansión” del neoliberalismo a las prácticas organizacionales contemporáneas. Entendemos al neoliberalismo como la lógica comportamental basada en la empresa y la competencia que, actualmente, prevalece con la pretensión de colonizar las diferentes esferas de lo social. En las últimas décadas, se han producido una serie de transferencias de herramientas de gestión propias del business a los modos de organización del trabajo estatal y, entre estos desplazamientos, encontramos el de la práctica del marketing. Considerándolo a éste como una tecnología que busca garantizar la competencia, estudiamos su funcionamiento en el marketing coordinado por la gestión pública del turismo. Tomando como caso a la Argentina del siglo XXI, analizamos el objetivo de comunicación comercial que remite al posicionamiento en articulación con otros componentes: el mecanismo de construcción de imagen y el diseño de marca de destinos/productos. Esta investigación tuvo la finalidad de interpretar críticamente los intentos de control sobre los trabajadores del sector público y de los prestadores privados que el Estado capacita. Concluimos que estos elementos operan como pautas generales y “mandatos” indirectos de conducción de los recursos humanos sobre cómo en la actualidad “hay” que trabajar en el marco de la gubernamentalidad neoliberal.

Embora a globalização seja um processo dinâmico em andamento, o seu avanço tem ocorrido de forma desequilibrada, gerando instabilidade política, econômica e social em várias regiões do planeta. O presente trabalho procura, de forma teórica, mostrar a falta da globalização social como um dos fatores que tem provocado desequilíbrio na dinâmica do processo de globalização. Pelo lado econômico, observa-se que a globalização ocorre de forma acelerada e já alcança os mais distantes pontos da face da Terra, ao passo que, pelo lado social, observa-se que a globalização está ausente em algumas regiões e, em outro tanto, ela ocorre de forma lenta e sem muito interesse. De nada vale os benefícios da globalização econômica se não existir a globalização social. Esse e o desafio do século XXI.The criticism of many of globalization is a consequence of directions it is taking. While globalization is a dynamic process in progress, its progress has occurred so unbalanced, creating politicalinstability, economic and social development in various regions of the planet. This paper demand, so theoretically, show the lack of social globalisation as one of the factors that have causedimbalance in the dynamics of the globalization process. On the economic side there is that globalization occurs so rapidly and have reached the most distant points of the face of theEarth, while the social side, there is that globalisation is absent in some regions, and in another both, it happens so slowly and without much interest.

Full Text Available Costa Rica no sigue durante la primera década del siglo XXI la tendencia observada para la mayoría de los países de la región, que experimentan una reducción de la desigualdad en la distribución del ingreso familiar per cápita. Durante la primera mitad de esa década sí se produce una reducción en la desigualdad pero se revierte en el quinquenio siguiente. Para estudiar esos cambios se utiliza una desagregación de la desigualdad, medida por el coeficiente de Gini, por fuentes de ingreso, usando 12 fuentes distintas. Los resultados señalan que la reducción de la desigualdad en la primera mitad de la década, se da en un contexto de crecimiento económico pero estancamiento de los ingresos reales, que se concentra en los estratos de mayores ingresos. Esto implica que la reducción de la desigualdad se concentró en la reducción de los ingresos reales de las fuentes con mayor poder concentrador (elasticidades Gini ingreso mayor a la unidad y cambios marginales positivos, como lo son los ingresos laborales de los más calificados, las rentas del capital y las pensiones contributivas. En la segunda mitad de la década, el repunte de la desigualdad se produce por un aumento significativo de los ingresos reales de todas las fuentes, pero principalmente de las que tienen un impacto concentrador que no puede ser neutralizado por la expansión de las fuentes que reducen la desigualdad (ingresos laborales de los trabajadores no calificados y las transferencias estatales. Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de aplicar una política de salarios mínimos más activa, reforzar los programas de apoyo productivo para el sector informal, ampliar la oferta de trabajadores más calificados a través de la política educativa y ampliar las transferencias monetarias hacia los más pobres, lo que requiere de una reforma tributaria.

De este modo se verá que los dioses, sus aspectos y funciones, han recibido un tratamiento prioritario al ser el objeto principal de las fuentes, dejándose de lado a los ancianos reales y los temas prosaicos. Las más desfavorecidas han sido las mujeres, de las que sólo se destaca su labor como parteras, curanderas, etc. y su faceta sobrenatural.

In this manner, we will see that the gods, their appearance, and their functions have received privileged treatment in these sources, leaving aside the real elders, and prosaic topics. Women have received the least favourable treatment, being only their work as midwives and healers, and their link to the supernatural what has been noticed.

Xingxiong injection (XXI) is a widely used Chinese herbal formula prepared by the folium ginkgo extract and ligustrazine for the treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Compared with the pharmacological studies, chemical analysis and quality control studies on this formula are relatively limited. In the present study, a high performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-QTOF MS) method was applied to comprehensive analysis of constituents in XXI. According to the fragmentation rules and previous reports, thirty ginkgo flavonoids, four ginkgo terpene lactones, and one alkaloid were identified. A high performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (HPLC-QQQ MS) method was then applied to quantify ten major constituents in XXI. The method validation results indicated that the developed method had desirable specificity, linearity, precision and accuracy. The total contents of ginkgo flavonoids were about 22.05-25.51 μg·mL(-1) and the ginkgo terpene lactones amounts were about 4.41-8.70 μg·mL(-1) in six batches of XXI samples, respectively. Furthermore, cosine ratio algorithm and distance measurements were employed to evaluate the similarity of XXI samples, and the results demonstrated a high-quality consistency. This work could provide comprehensive information on the quality control of Xingxiong injection, which be helpful in the establishment of a rational quality control standard.

It then goes on to examine the challenges faced by substate and state nationalisms in present-day Spain, which may be summed up in the growing plurality of sentiments of multiple belonging on the part of Spanish citizens, as well as the impact of globalization and foreign immigration. All these phenomena have transformed the conditions in which nationalisms interact, and will require0 political elites to rethink the theoretical frameworks of nationalist doctrines. | El artículo ofrece una interpretación en clave histórica de la evolución reciente de la cuestión nacional en la España contemporánea, desde la aprobación de la Constitución de 1978 y la articulación político-institucional del Estado de las Autonomías, y a continuación expone los retos a los que los nacionalismos subestatales y de Estado que conviven en territorio español se enfrentan en la primera década del siglo XXI, subrayando el hecho de que la pluralidad de opciones y pertenencias identitarias de los ciudadanos, el impacto de la globalización y de la inmigración han transformado las coordenadas básicas de la cuestión nacional y obligan a las élites a repensar los marcos teóricos de las doctrinas nacionalistas.

La idea ha sido regenerar España por la aportación de agua a la agricultura a través de reformas de estructuras moderadas, tal la ley de bases de colonización de las grandes áreas de regadío. Se trata, entre otras cosas, determinar el origen del recurso de agua de riego, el sistema de riego y los cultivos de regadío. La conclusión pone en evidencia que en el año 2000 en Albacete el movimiento de difusión de los regadíos ha alcanzado su óptimo en razón a la sobreexplotación de los recursos hídricos, es decir de los acuíferos.

Full Text Available The letter of Manuel II Palaiologos no. 43 addressed to Demetrios Chrysoloras, as their correspondence in whole, is a vivid testimony, not only on the friendship between these two great intellectuals, but also on some social rules and customs of the court of the last Palaiologan emperors and habits of the Byzantine social and intellectual elite in the first half of the XV century. Through the paradigm of noble horse, used as a symbol of public office, in this case the one of mesazon in the service of John VII, the emperor showed that he was not indifferent and suggested to his friend to give up something which doesn’t suit him and continue to occupy himself with intellectual work.

Full Text Available Cilj ovog rada je da ukaže na moguće razloge zbog kojih ne samo da dužnička kriza u evrozoni ne prolazi, već se produbljuje. Mišljenja sam da iskustvo Velike depresije iz tridesetih godina prošlog veka može pomoći ekonomskim teoretičarima i zvaničnicima da sagledaju problem iz druge perspektive, pošto je očigledno da ekonomska ortodoksija i mere ekonomske politike koje se na njoj zasnivaju ne daju željene rezultate. Ruzveltov fiskalni aktivizam i Kejnzova revolucionarna teorija su dali odgovor na pitanje zašto je u periodu krize neophodna odlučna fiskalna reakcija ekonomskih vlasti i zašto slobodno tržište nije u stanju da samostalno izađe iz magle koja vremenom, u slučaju nečinjenja, postaje sve gušća.

The aim of this research was evaluate changes in frequency and intensity of extreme events of precipitation in Brazilian Amazon and Northeast Region, doubling CO2 concentration in agreement of IPCC A2 emissions scenarios (Nakicenovic et al., 2001). For this evaluation was used ETA model (Chou et al., 2011), forced with CCSM3 Global model data (Meehl, 2006) to run 4 experiments, only for January, February and March: 1980-1990, 2000-2010, 2040-2050 and 2090-2100. Using the first decade as reference (1980-1990), was evaluated changes occurred in following decades, with a methodology to classify extremes events adapted from Frich (2002) and Gao (2006). Higher was the class, more intense is the event. An increase of 25% was observed in total precipitation in Brazilian Amazon for the end of XXI century and 12% for extreme events type 1, 9% for events type 2 and 10% for type 3. By the other hand, a 17% decrease of precipitation in Brazilian Northeast was observed, and a pronounced decay of 24% and 15% in extreme events contribution type 1 and 2 to total amount of precipitation, respectively. The difference between total normal type events was positive in this three decades compared with reference decade 1980-1990, varying positively from 4 to 6 thousand events included in normality by decade, these events was decreased in your majority of Class 1 events, which presented a decay of at least 3.500 events by each decade. This suggests an intensification of extreme events, considering that the amount of precipitation by class increased, and the number of events by class decreased. To Northeast region, an increasing in 9% of contribution to events type 3 class was observed, as well as in the frequency of this type of events (about of 700 more events). Major decreasing in number of classes extreme events occur in 2000-2010, to classes 1 and 3, with 7,2 and 5,6%, and by the end of century in class 3, with 4,5%. For the three analyzed decades a total decrease of 8.400 events was

Full Text Available This article focuses on mortality in children under 5 years in the United States of homicides. Infanticide has become one of the most common crimes against the person in the United States during the second half of XX - beginning of XXI centuries. This fact contributed to the problem of violent crime against children has been actively developed in American criminology. The following article is devoted to mortality from homicides among children under the age of 5 years old in the United States of America. Statistical reports of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during the period of 1980-2013 have been used as an empirical base for research. Carried out a critical analysis of a wide range of research of American specialists in various branches of science (criminologists, sociologists, psychiatrists, physicians, devoted to the problems of infanticide in the United States. The basic parameters of infanticide, the dynamics and characteristics of this type of crime. Revealed a rather complicated dynamics of infanticide in the United States for a designated length of chronological period’s ups and downs in the development of this type of crime. Victimization characteristics of children died of homicides as per sex, age and race have been presented. It is found that among American children under the age of 5 years, the greatest risk of becoming a victim of premeditated murder was in children under the age of 1 year. Generalized characteristics of criminals having committed infanticide during this period of time as per sex, kinship of the victim, means used to murder have been revealed. This study found that during the period under review the chronological development of the United States of persons detained by the police for the murder of a child under the age of 5 years, which is numerically dominated by men. These statistics can be traced in all age groups of persons who have committed infanticide in the United States in the 1980-2013 periods

Full Text Available The article highlights the latest developments in the field of Digital Humanities. It indicates in which ways these technologies are already used in the historical and geographical science throughout the world and how they could be integrated systematically into Byzantine Studies. In the first part of the article international projects, which are based on GIS (Geographic Information Systems, and their links in the World Wide Web are presented. In the second part the author shows on the basis of his scholarly results on the historical geography of Byzantine Macedonia, how medieval written sources can be transferred into digital format in order to achieve a higher level of spatial data analysis. The neglect of this important and recent scholarly approach in the 21st century could lead to the marginalisation of Byzantine Studies in general, and of the historical geography of the Byzantine Empire in particular.

Spectroscopic Diagnostics of Solar Magnetic Flux Ropes Using Iron Forbidden Line

In this Letter, we present Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph Fe xxi 1354.08 Å forbidden line emission of two magnetic flux ropes (MFRs) that caused two fast coronal mass ejections with velocities of ≥1000 km s-1 and strong flares (X1.6 and M6.5) on 2014 September 10 and 2015 June 22, respectively. The extreme-ultraviolet images at the 131 and 94 Å passbands provided by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on board Solar Dynamics Observatory reveal that both MFRs initially appear as suspended hot channel-like structures. Interestingly, part of the MFRs is also visible in the Fe xxi 1354.08 forbidden line, even prior to the eruption, e.g., for the SOL2014-09-10 event. However, the line emission is very weak and that only appears at a few locations but not the whole structure of the MFRs. This implies that the MFRs could be comprised of different threads with different temperatures and densities, based on the fact that the formation of the Fe xxi forbidden line requires a critical temperature (˜11.5 MK) and density. Moreover, the line shows a non-thermal broadening and a blueshift in the early phase. It suggests that magnetic reconnection at that time has initiated; it not only heats the MFR and, at the same time, produces a non-thermal broadening of the Fe xxi line but also produces the poloidal flux, leading to the ascension of the MFRs.

Full Text Available ¿Qué soluciones políticas podemos encontrar para las nuevas formas de subjetividad? ¿Cómo debe la teoría feminista interpretar la voluntad de romper los límites y, al mismo tiempo, la necesidad de normalidad? Los pensadores posmodernos son escépticos respecto de las nociones tradicionales de identidad; los límites que definen al sujeto no sólo construyen sino que también excluyen. Debemos oponernos a las interpretaciones dominantes de normalidad y aceptar otras posibles alternativas a los modelos tradicionales. Necesitamos ir más allá del binario sistema sexo/género y de la orientación sexual y mantener una mentalidad abierta, persiguiendo una filosofía de la libertad.

O que existem são grupos humanos que por apresentarem algumas características gerais, podem ser denominadas como “tradicionais”. O presente artigo pretende apresentar discussões e debates acerca do conceito de população tradicional e sua importância para as questões ambientais da atualidade. A construção do sentido e do significado desse conceito liga-se historicamente ao socioambientalismo dos extrativistas da borracha do estado do Acre e, posteriormente, a outros povos da floresta amazônica. O fulcro conceitual dessas populações reside no sentido dado as suas ações econômicas, culturais, simbólicas etc. calcadas na sustentabilidade ambiental. Para a consecução do objetivo deste trabalho, buscou-se fundamentar as argüições em pesquisa bibliográfica realizada em biblioteca virtual e física, assim como em acervo pessoal. O que segue são aprofundamentos acerca da temática levantada sobre o conceito e a importância dessas populações para o século XXI.

A field study was carried during January 2011 to March, 2013, to confirm the origin and evolution of female plant from an identical male plant in, a dioecious plant, the Carica papaya L. The plants were grown from the seeds of a normal female plant fruit. The grown, plants were identified as XX, XY and XYh (in March - April, 2012) on the basis of male and female flower bearing. The identical male plants, which usually bear only male (unisexual) flowers having calyx, corrolla and androecium, were observed also to bear bisexual flower, having calyx, corrolla, and gynoecium (ovary fused with androecium ). The fruits were set having the bisexual flowers in the identical male (hermaphrodite) plant. These fruits were kept under observation from setting to ripening stage. The ripened fruits were harvested from the identical male plants and 90-95% fruits from these plants were found with the seeds. Plants grown from these male fruit seeds produced all three type of plants i.e., male, female and hermaphrodite. This study indicated that an identical male (XYh) plant produced the female (XX) plant naturally, because of the XXY= XYh condition, which can contribute basic genetic material to male and female plants i.e an identical male (XYh = XXY= 2N +1 = 18+1= 19) produced all three type of plants, the pure male, the hermaphrodite and the female plant, originated from a single source of an identical male, as shown here. XYh = XXY g XY + XX + XXY. The propagation of all three sexes of Carica papaya from a single source of an identical male plant seeds is the first report in the world. (author)

This report describes the potential impact of sex hormones and sex chromosomes by comparing MR data from 39 male and 47 female controls and 33 men with an extra X-chromosome (47,XXY Methods: Regional asymmetry in grey and white matter volumes (GMV and WMV was calculated using voxel based moprhometry (SPM5, by contrasting the unflipped and flipped individual GMV and WMV images. In addition, structural volumes were calculated for the thalamus, caudate, putamen, amygdala, and hippocampus, using the FreeSurfer software. Effects of plasma testosterone and estrogen on the GMV and WMV, as well on the right/left ratios of the subcortical volumes were tested by multi-regression analysis.Results: All three groups showed a leftward asymmetry in the motor cortex and the planum temporale, and a rightward asymmetry of the middle occipital cortex. Both asymmetries were more pronounced in 46,XY males than 46,XX females and 47,XXY males, and were positively correlated with testosterone levels. There was also a rightward asymmetry of the vermis and leftward asymmetry in the cerebellar hemispheres in all groups. Notably, cerebellar asymmetries were larger in 46,XX females and 47,XXY males, but were not related to sex hormone levels. No asymmetry differences between 46,XX females and 47,XXY males, and no overall effects of brain size were detected.Conclusion: The asymmetry in the planum temporale area and the occipital cortex seem related to processes associated with testosterone, whereas the observed cerebellar asymmetries suggest a link with X-chromosome escapee genes. Sex differences in cerebral asymmetry are moderated by sex hormones and X-chromosome genes, in a regionally differentiated manner.

The authors examined 32 patients with Klinefelter's syndrome: 21 with chromatine-positive (the 1st group), 11 with chromatine-negative (the 2nd group). In contrast to the patients of the 2nd group an altered karyotype was revealed in patients of the 1st group (47/XXY, 46XY/47XXY, 48XXXY/49XXXXY). Hormonal examination revelaed hypoandrogenia with a relative hyperestrogenuria in the majority of the patients of the 1st and 2nd groups. However, patients of the 2nd group displayed a greater preservation of the reserve testicular function. Further clinical, endocrinological and cytogenetic studies of the Klinefelter's syndrome is necessary for its differential diagnosis and correction.

2011-10-01

Full Text Available El artículo examina la situación de la política de Seguridad y Defensa de España al comienzo de la segunda década del siglo XXI y la necesidad de su redefinición a partir de la experiencia de los últimos diez años. El trabajo analiza la política de los distintos gobiernos durante este periodo, los constantes cambios que ha sufrido, la ausencia de consenso entre las fuerzas políticas, el rechazo social a algunas decisiones y la falta de coherencia y visión de largo plazo de otra. Se estudia el giro estratégico de la política Exterior y de Seguridad durante la segunda legislatura del Presidente Aznar -dando prioridad absoluta a la relación con Estados Unidos tras el 11S-, y el rechazo popular y electoral a esta decisión. A continuación se repasa cómo ha evolucionado la política de Seguridad y Defensa de los gobiernos del Presidente Rodríguez Zapatero, desde la simbólica retirada de Iraq hasta la decisión de participar junto a Estados Unidos en el escudo antimisiles de la OTAN. Una política de Seguridad caracterizada por su subordinación a la política interna, por su obsesión por la imagen y por las repercusiones sobre la opinión pública, por la improvisación y por la falta de coherencia. Finalmente, el artículo se ocupa de la Estrategia Española de Seguridad, anunciada en 2008 y aprobada al final de la legislatura, sin consenso con otras fuerzas políticas y sin tiempo para implementarse. Se analiza su contenido y su posible utilidad como base de la política de Seguridad y Defensa de los próximos años.

Cheng, Chung-Chieh; Pallavicini, Roberto

1987-01-01

Three homologous flares observed in the UV lines of Fe XXI and O V and in X-rays from the SMM were studied. It was found that: (1) the homology of the flares was most noticeable in Fe XXI and soft X-ray emissions; (2) the three flares shared many of the same loop footprints which were located in O V bright kernals associated with hard X-ray bursts; and (3) in spite of the strong spatial homology, the temporal evolution in UV and X-ray emissions varied from flare to flare. A comparison between the UV observations and photospheric magnetograms revealed that the basic flare configuration was a complex loop system consisting of many loops or bundles of loops.

Osvetljava se socio-kulturni kontekst koji je omogućio konstituisanje i transformaciju kontingentne semantičke matrice koja bi „čudne nebeske pojave“ interpretirala kao vanzemaljske letelice. Kontekstualizacijom ufologije u okvir popularne kulture, na čijim je armaturama ponikla, osvetljena je politička, ideološka i etička klima u kojoj je UFO diskurs nastao. Trasirana je putanja daljih istraživanja ufologije isticanjem da je popularna kultura − u doba krize poverenja u zvanične institucije karakteristične za drugu polovinu XX veka, kao i razgradnje ideje nauke kao vrednosno neutralne i objektivne korespondencije sa stvarnošću – pripremila teren na kojem će jedan pseudonaučni diskurs poput ufologije nastojati da se samokonstruiše kao „naučnija nauka od same nauke“ i kao „objektivnija od objektivnih“, drugim rečima − kao epistemološki validna, metodološki normirana, institucionalno utemeljena, ulaganja dostojna i etički superiorna naučna disciplina.

U predgovoru zbornika konstatovano je da je u poslednjoj deceniji XX veka razvoj proizvodnog mašinstva bio usporen, a ponegde čak i zaustavljen. Ovakav tok razvoja posebno je prisutan u mašinogradnji i metalskoj industriji koje bitno utiču na intenzitet razvoja drugih privrednih grana, kao i obrazovanje stručnjaka svih profila u području proizvodnih tehnika i tehnologija. I pored takve situacije, u ovim privrednim granama ipak se obrazovanju kadrova i naučnoistraživačkom radu posvećuje dužna pažnja.

Guava leaf ( Psidium guajava L.) extracts are used in both traditional medicine and the pharmaceutical industry. The antioxidant compounds in P. guajava leaves can have positive effects including anti-inflammatory, anti-hyperglycemic, hepatoprotective, analgesic, anti-cancer effects, as well as protecting against cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, phenolic compounds and in vitro antioxidant capacity were measured in extracts obtained with polar and non-polar solvents from leaves of two varieties of guava, Calvillo Siglo XXI and Hidrozac. The quantity of total phenolics and total flavonoids were expressed as equivalents of gallic acid and quercetin, respectively. Hydroxyl radical, 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity using fluorescein (ORAC-FL) in vitro tests were used to assess the radical scavenging abilities of the extracts. The total phenolics were higher in the aqueous fraction of the variety Calvillo Siglo XXI, while in the Hidrozac variety total phenolics were higher in the acetone and chloroform fractions. Total flavonoids were higher in all fractions in the variety Calvillo Siglo XXI. Total phenolics showed a highly positive correlation for ORAC-FL, and a moderately positive correlation with hydroxyl radicals. Finally, total flavonoids showed a slightly positive correlation for ORAC-FL and hydroxyl radicals. Both varieties of guava leaf extract showed excellent antioxidant properties.

Klinefelter syndrome and its association with male infertility

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

V Ramakrishnan

2014-03-01

Full Text Available Klinefelter's syndrome is the most common genetic disorder in which there is at least one extra X chromosome. Males normally have an X chromosome and a Y chromosome (XY. But males who have Klinefelter syndrome have an extra X chromosome (XXY, giving them a total of 47 instead of the normal 46 chromosomes. Sex chromosome abnormalities are more frequently associated with male infertility. The prevalence of XXYs has risen from 1.09 to 1.72 per 1 000 male births. A patient attended to fertility and genetic clinic, during the clinical diagnosis we found the following complaints of loss of secondary sexual characteristics and infertility. Physical examination revealed breast development, thin built, small size testes, and absence of beard and pubic hairs. Karyotype and biochemical analysis were performed to detect chromosomal abnormality as well as hormonal level to confirm the diagnosis of Klinefelter's syndrome. Chromosomal analysis of the peripheral blood lymphocytes demonstrated the constitutional karyotype of 47, XXY. Using karyotype the presence of extra X chromosome was confirmed, supporting the cytogenetic finding. The 47, XXY syndrome is relatively uncommon and can be missed clinically because of its variable clinical presentations. Accurate diagnosis of this constitutional karyotype provides a valuable aid in the counselling and early management of the patients who undertake fertility evaluation.

Integrar sociedade e natureza na luta contra a fome no século XXI Integrating society and nature in the struggle against hunger in the 21st century

Full Text Available A compreensão do mundo contemporâneo exige um olhar naturalista do qual a obra de Josué de Castro é uma das mais importantes expressões: pensar de maneira articulada a vida social e a reprodução do ambiente natural em que se apóia - incluindo aí a natureza do próprio homem, seu corpo - é a pedra de toque do método geográfico praticado em Geografia da Fome. Esse método é importante não apenas para estudar aquelas regiões onde a fome se abate severamente sobre a vida da população, mas oferece uma importante chave de leitura dos problemas alimentares que se anunciam para o século XXI, quando a população mundial deverá ter um aumento de quase 50%. Os desafios produtivos dos próximos anos - que este artigo procura expor de maneira sumária - não poderão ser enfrentados com base nas técnicas que caracterizaram a Revolução Verde. Eles exigem uma compreensão refinada dos vínculos entre sistemas sociais e sistemas ecológicos, para a qual a obra de Josué de Castro é uma inspiração fundamental.Understanding the contemporary world requires a naturalist view, wherein the work of Josué de Castro is one of the most important expressions: taking a comprehensive approach to social life and reproduction of the natural environment that supports it - including the nature of humans themselves, their bodies - is the cornerstone of the geographic method practiced in Geografia da Fome [The Geography of Hunger]. This method is important for studying regions where hunger severely afflicts the populations, and also offers an important key for interpreting the food problems that are forecast for the 21st century, when the world population is expected to increase by nearly 50%. The food production challenges in the coming years - and which this article discusses briefly - cannot be solved with the techniques that characterized the so-called Green Revolution.

Battlefield awareness computers: the engine of battlefield digitization

Science.gov (United States)

Ho, Jackson; Chamseddine, Ahmad

1997-06-01

To modernize the army for the 21st century, the U.S. Army Digitization Office (ADO) initiated in 1995 the Force XXI Battle Command Brigade-and-Below (FBCB2) Applique program which became a centerpiece in the U.S. Army's master plan to win future information wars. The Applique team led by TRW fielded a 'tactical Internet' for Brigade and below command to demonstrate the advantages of 'shared situation awareness' and battlefield digitization in advanced war-fighting experiments (AWE) to be conducted in March 1997 at the Army's National Training Center in California. Computing Devices is designated the primary hardware developer for the militarized version of the battlefield awareness computers. The first generation of militarized battlefield awareness computer, designated as the V3 computer, was an integration of off-the-shelf components developed to meet the agressive delivery requirements of the Task Force XXI AWE. The design efficiency and cost effectiveness of the computer hardware were secondary in importance to delivery deadlines imposed by the March 1997 AWE. However, declining defense budgets will impose cost constraints on the Force XXI production hardware that can only be met by rigorous value engineering to further improve design optimization for battlefield awareness without compromising the level of reliability the military has come to expect in modern military hardened vetronics. To answer the Army's needs for a more cost effective computing solution, Computing Devices developed a second generation 'combat ready' battlefield awareness computer, designated the V3+, which is designed specifically to meet the upcoming demands of Force XXI (FBCB2) and beyond. The primary design objective is to achieve a technologically superior design, value engineered to strike an optimal balance between reliability, life cycle cost, and procurement cost. Recognizing that the diverse digitization demands of Force XXI cannot be adequately met by any one computer hardware

Full Text Available From the perspective of urbanism, the beginning of the twenty-first century in the metropolitan region of Buenos Aires has been characterized for the emergence of large-scale projects developed by private actors. Among them stand out private cities and commercial and services areas, called new centralities. Both urban designs are in close connection and require effective mobility conditions for its concretion. The intervention of private agents has impacted in the territorial transformations, creating a "parallel urban system" in the region, oriented towards attracting residents with a high socio-economic status. However, the traditional network of cities has not disappeared and, with the juxtaposition of this new system of private urbanism, it deepened the conditions of spatial fragmentation and social segregation. Desde la perspectiva del urbanismo, el comienzo del siglo XXI se caracteriza por la aparición en la región metropolitana de Buenos Aires, de proyectos de gran envergadura desarrollados por agentes privados. Entre ellos sobresalen las ciudades privadas y las áreas comerciales y de servicios, denominadas nuevas centralidades. Ambos diseños urbanos se mantienen en estrecha relación y requieren de eficaces condiciones de movilidad para su concreción y para su exitoso funcionamiento. La intervención de los agentes privados ha impactado en las transformaciones territoriales, creando un “sistema urbano paralelo” en la región, orientado a la captación de residentes con un alto nivel socio-económico. No obstante, la red de ciudades pre-existente no ha desaparecido y con la yuxtaposición de este nuevo sistema de urbanismo privado, se profundizan las condiciones de fragmentación espacial y de segregación social.

GLORIA PRADO GARDUÑO

2012-11-01

Full Text Available From the Middle Ages until today, it is possible to appreciate that the so called “Humanities” are focused on different perspectives and considerations. As of 1900, under the Positivism egis, Humanities were considered sciences, but in order to distinguish them from the natural and exact sciences, they were called “Sciences of the Spirit” or Human Sciences. Gradually, along the 20th century, a fusion among them took place, together with many other different sciences like medicine, in an interdisciplinary combination. Nowadays, the rampant technology, the mass media and the social networks have contributed to change their appreciation, however, these facts will not succeed in making Humanities disappear.

The intensities of X-ray lines due to inner-shell 1s-2p transitions in 0 I-, N I-, and C I-like ions of Ti XV-XVII, Cr XVII-XIX, Fe XIX-XXI, and Ni XXI-XXIII, seen in tokamak plasmas are calculated. The lines are assumed to be formed by dielectronic recombination and inner-shell excitation. The dielectronic rates were calculated using a suite of computer programs developed by one of the authors. The inner-shell contribution was estimated by van Regemorter's formula. The present calculations were applied to the problem of radial ion diffusion in tokamaks. Spectra were calculated by integrating along various lines-of-sight to simulate what might be observed by an actual spectrometer viewing a tokamak plasma. A method for determining the diffusion coefficient from tokamak observations is discussed. (author)

Spectrometer sensitivity calibration in the extreme uv by means of branching ratios of magnetic dipole lines

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Denne, B.; Hinnov, E.

1984-04-01

Relative intensity measurements of various line pairs resulting from magnetic dipole transitions within the configurations s 2 p 2 and s 2 p 4 , in conjunction with calculated transition probabilities, have been used to determine the wavelength dependence of the sensitivity of a grazing incidence spectrometer, in the range 400 to 1000 A. Emissions from Cr XIX, Fe XXI, Ni XXI and XXIII, Cu XXIV, and Zr XXVII ions in PLT tokamak discharges were used for this purpose. Absolute sensitivity of the spectrometer at selected wavelengths had been determined by the traditional hydrogen, helium, carbon, and oxygen electric-dipole line pairs from the same discharges. Similar attempts to use transitions in the s 2 p 3 configurations in Cr XVIII, Zr XXVI, and Mo XXVIII ions resulted in significant discrepancies that are ascribed to uncertainties in the corresponding calculated transition probabilities

Como metodologia de pesquisa utilizou-se grupo focal, com 21 pesquisadores e professores que atuavam no campo do Ensino de História e História da Educação. Constatou-se que o ensino no século XXI deve propiciar a aprendizagem de maneira contextualizada, relacionando a pessoa, o tempo e o espaço, em uma perspectiva de produção e transformação da sociedade, na qual o aluno é concebido como sujeito histórico inserido no âmbito dialógico-crítico, tendo o professor como um mediador.

A tortoiseshell male cat

DEFF Research Database (Denmark)

Pedersen, A. S.; Berg, Lise Charlotte; Almstrup, Kristian

2014-01-01

Tortoiseshell coat color is normally restricted to female cats due to X-linkage of the gene that encodes the orange coat color. Tortoiseshell male cats do, however, occur at a low frequency among tortoiseshell cats because of chromosome aberrations similar to the Klinefelter syndrome in man...... tissue from a tortoiseshell male cat referred to us. Chromosome analysis using RBA-banding consistently revealed a 39,XXY karyotype. Histological examinations of testis biopsies from this cat showed degeneration of the tubules, hyperplasia of the interstitial tissue, and complete loss of germ cells....... Immunostaining using anti-vimentin and anti-VASA (DDX4) showed that only Sertoli cells and no germ cells were observed in the testicular tubules. As no sign of spermatogenesis was detected, we conclude that this is a classic case of a sterile, male tortoiseshell cat with a 39,XXY chromosome complement. © 2013 S...

Ottesen, A M; Garn, I D; Aksglaede, L

2007-01-01

Due to the high prevalence and variable phenotype of patients with Klinefelter syndrome, there is a need for a robust and rapid screening method allowing early diagnosis. Here, we report on the development and detailed clinical validation of a quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR)-based method...... of the copy number assessment of the androgen receptor (AR) gene, located to Xq11.2-q12. We analysed samples from 50 individuals, including a healthy male and female controls and patients with Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY; 48,XXXY) (n = 28), mosaicisms (46,XX/47,XXY/48XXYY; 45,X/46,XY) (n = 3), other sex......-gene expression. The XIST-expression based assay was correct in only 29/36 samples (81%).

Lo que le entrega vida a estos nueve ensayos es una crítica sostenida a la idea de que el término del desarrollo histórico sería la conversión del mundo al modelo occidental (Capitalismo y Gobierno Liberal-Democrático y Representativo.

The radiation exposure regulation for XXI century

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Keirim-Markus, I.B.

2000-01-01

The regulation of the people radiation exposure by the ICRP and IAEA is subject to well-founded criticism for the excessive severity and complexity. In Russia these shortcomings adversely affected at the removal of consequences of the Chernobyl accident. The future regulation system must be better coordinated with the other sources of human life risks. In the advanced countries the death probability from the all reasons is equal 1-2·10 -2 year -1 with the age variation from 5·10 -4 to 2·10 -1 . Therefore it is reasonable to consider that death risk from radiation less than 1·10 -5 - 1·10 -3 depending on age, as an insignificant, but not 1·10 -6 as it is accepted now. Whatever heritable effects of human irradiation are not revealed by the observation during a half on century. Therefore, there is no any reason to account them. As concern the dose dependence of the stochastic effects of radiation the new information is already demonstrating that more than an a half of the whole human's radiation cancers are submitted to dependence with the threshold from 0.3 to tens of sievert at the low dose rate. Therefore, the linear nonthreshold dependence is not true. This fact is undermining the modern system of irradiation regulation institution. One can't use the effective dose. One hasn't to fear of the radiation exposure in small doses. There isn't the necessity in optimization of such exposure all the more the balance detriment-benefit depends on not only dose but even not so much on dose. It is reasonable to base the future system regulation of radiation exposure with the only one principle: one mustn't exceed the limit of the personal life-span dose, which must be set at the level 2.5 Sv for the staff. The limit equal to 0.5 Sv during every 10 consecutive years will ensure that. For the population, the limit as 50-70 mSv during every 10 consecutive years will ensure the level 0.35-05 Sv for life-span. Equally, with the half century dose it is necessary to regulate content of radionuclides in organism, which can be determined instrumentally, but not by the calculation way as it is doing for the intake.

In the introduction, a few figures were related to the campaign of Barack Obama and the marketing potential hidden in applications was outlined, generally referred to as Web 2.0. In the initial chapter, paradigms were presented needed to establish the planning stage in the electoral campaign in the Internet. Deformations of communication were also presented in relation to the traditional H. Lasswell’s communication model. An analysis was provided of selected political marketing tools used in the Internet. The analysis indicates a poor use of the Internet in the electoral campaign for the candidates in Subcarpathia even though there are one candidate in this region who created virtual avatars to build her political image.

Full Text Available El trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar la responsabilidad ética-científico-social del profesor universitario en América Latina desde su ejercicio docente en una institución como es la universidad que presenta cambios estructurales en el siglo XXI. Se aborda la investigación desde la pregunta ¿si la universidad en América Latina ha formado su cuerpo docente con capacidad profesional de liderar la transformación cultural- educativa, y de liderar los cambios científicos-tecnológicos-sociales desde la ética, la solidaridad, la tolerancia, la inclusión, en las "sociedades del saber" cambiantes del siglo XXI. La metodología se centra en la historia social de la educación donde el docente se analiza dentro del contexto socio-político de las universidades latinoamericanas. Las fuentes primarias de Leyes, Decretos, informes sustentan el trabajo. Se localizó, en el estudio, que se requiere una redefinición conceptual y legal de la práctica y rol del profesor universitario dentro de los criterios de la nueva visión de la universidad Latinoamericana. Se concluye que el profesor universitario debe demostrar el conocimiento de la disciplina y la didáctica específica unido a las redes de investigación internacionales, pero encontramos también, que son indispensable los valores personales de solidaridad y cooperación frente a la sociedad de la individualidad y la falta de tolerancia. Se recomienda nuevos estudios que respondan si ¿están nuestras universidades y docentes preparados para el cambio conceptual de la universidad dentro de las sociedades del saber del siglo XXI.

O papel central da comunicação, na sociedade do séc. XXI, abriu caminho a um conjunto de títulos nos quais o jornalismo continua a ocupar uma posição de destaque. Foi dessa forma que chegamos a um panorama com uma boa oferta acadêmica e com muitos mais jornalistas com título universitário. No terceiro milênio, a cada dia que passa, aumenta o número de informadores que possuem formação universitária. Os dados indicam que houve um aumento no nível de formação dos jornalistas, que necessitam de cada vez mais conhecimentos atuais para trabalhar na complexa sociedade atual, e que há um panorama favorável à  formação contínua, um desafio para todos os comunicadores da era digital. Os esforços realizados nesses últimos dez anos no Brasil, na Espanha e em Portugal neste campo mostram algumas diferenças, várias coincidências e um objetivo compartilhado: iniciativas para melhorar os planos formativos com projetos de maior qualidade.

Limits Legal Ethics of Biotechnology in XXI Century

Directory of Open Access Journals (Sweden)

Melissa Cabrini Morgato

2016-06-01

Full Text Available The present paper discusses the ethical and legal consequences of developments in biotechnological science, with a focus on the field of genetic engineering. We classify situations originating from developments in biotechnological science depending on their ethical and legal justification, based on Habermas’ reflections in his work “The future of human nature”, and differentiate between negative eugenics, representing ethically and legally justified situations, given their therapeutic potential of bringing benefits to human beings; and positive eugenics, describing situations, which are not justified by Ethics and Law, since they represent risks for the ethical self-understanding of the human species and are also incompatible with the imperative nature of human life protection, which is struc- tured by the Ibero-American constitutional states. We conclude that all moral judgments must follow the principle of human dignity as a major guideline, because the prevention of harmful practices against human beings requires, apart from legal and ethical rules, the responsibility to exclusively employ technologies for therapeutic purposes and to impede that the consumer society and its by-products completely artificialize the human nature.

Asymmetric Threats and Risks of the XXI Century

International Nuclear Information System (INIS)

Doncev, A.

2007-01-01

The rapid technology development in the 21st century has a great influence over the dynamic arm competition, thus threats and risks increasing. They are sublimated in different forms of international terrorism and could produce crisis in the Region, and furthermore all round the world. The international community is faced with new challenges. Now, the territories are not the only targets of attacks. The result of the theoretical and empirical research leads towards to the non-existence of national crisis management capacity. The paper identifies the international scenario which is very complex and unpredictable in the diapason of the asymmetric threats, as well as a new priorities agenda of the international community in the 21st century. Therefore, a risk management model is suggested, too.(author)

I cambiamenti climatici: la sfida del XXI secolo

Full Text Available È ampio il divario fra le azioni necessarie per evitare un surriscaldamento dannoso del pianeta e quelle decise per contrastarlo. Più passa il tempo più le visioni pessimiste acquistano motivazioni e argomenti validi. Per trasformare radicalmente in pochi decenni un sistema energetico e un rapporto predatorio verso le risorse del pianeta è necessario riconoscere la crisi climatica nella sua dimensione sistemica, nel suo essere prima di tutto un problema di giustizia, di equità anche verso le generazioni future. La scienza del clima dovrebbe aiutare a capire la portata della sfida chiarendo meglio le conseguenze delle scelte odierne per le generazioni future. Ma uno sforzo molto più grande è quello di recuperare le ragioni per occuparci, come individui e comunità, dei nostri posteri. Capire la posta in gioco sul tema del cambiamento climatico richiede non solo più conoscenza, ma di accettare l’esistenza dei limiti planetari, di ridefinire le aspettative amane, nonché un livello di intelligenza emotiva oggi insufficiente.

ExoMol line list - XXI. Nitric Oxide (NO)

Science.gov (United States)

Wong, Andy; Yurchenko, Sergei N.; Bernath, Peter; Müller, Holger S. P.; McConkey, Stephanie; Tennyson, Jonathan

2017-09-01

Line lists for the X 2Π electronic ground state for the parent isotopologue of nitric oxide (14N16O) and five other major isotopologues (14N17O, 14N18O, 15N16O, 15N17O and 15N18O) are presented. The line lists are constructed using empirical energy levels (and line positions) and high-level ab initio intensities. The energy levels were obtained using a combination of two approaches, from an effective Hamiltonian and from solving the rovibronic Schrödinger equation variationally. The effective Hamiltonian model was obtained through a fit to the experimental line positions of NO available in the literature for all six isotopologues using the programs spfit and spcat. The variational model was built through a least squares fit of the ab initio potential and spin-orbit curves to the experimentally derived energies and experimental line positions of the main isotopologue only using the duo program. The ab initio potential energy, spin-orbit and dipole moment curves (PEC, SOC and DMC) are computed using high-level ab initio methods and the marvel method is used to obtain energies of NO from experimental transition frequencies. The line lists are constructed for each isotopologue based on the use of the most accurate energy levels and the ab initio DMC. Each line list covers a wavenumber range from 0 to 40 000 cm-1 with approximately 22 000 rovibronic states and 2.3-2.6 million transitions extending to Jmax = 184.5 and vmax = 51. Partition functions are also calculated up to a temperature of 5000 K. The calculated absorption line intensities at 296 K using these line lists show excellent agreement with those included in the HITRAN and HITEMP data bases. The computed NO line lists are the most comprehensive to date, covering a wider wavenumber and temperature range compared to both the HITRAN and HITEMP data bases. These line lists are also more accurate than those used in HITEMP. The full line lists are available from the CDS http://cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr and ExoMol www.exomol.com data bases; data will also be available from CDMS http://www.cdms.de.

In the epidemiologic transition that happened in last century, the control of transmissible illnesses with the progress of the science and the prevention, it brought about the appearance of chronic not transmissible illnesses. The metabolic syndrome (SM also known as Multimetabolic Syndrome or X Syndrome, is only a constellation of factors of risk lipids and not lipids that can appear in sequential or simultaneous form in the same individual. The objective of the present bibliographical review is to mention some relevant aspects destined to know, prevent and treating to the X Syndrome. For the realization of the same one we base on two types of sources: written material and on-line material. We conclude that a primary prevention and an opportune change of the food habits, environmental factors and life styles, would lead to diminishing the appearance of the Metabolic Syndrome. The treatment is accessible to the patient, of low economical cost, of very easy application for the population, and whose finality will be to prevent complications and to diminish the risks of cardiovascular illness.

Full Text Available RESUMEN: Los avances tecnológicos de la medicina en las últimas décadas han permitido llevar a efecto intervenciones en pacientes que antes estaban fuera del alcance quirúrgico.La evaluación preanestésica es responsabilidad del anestesiólogo y considera información de múltiples fuentes: historia clínica, entrevista, registros, examen físico y exámenes.Permite conocer los antecedentes del paciente, identificar factores de riesgo modificables y desarrollar un plan anestésico en relación a los hallazgos para disminuir la morbimortalidad perioperatoria; educar, mejorar la satisfacción y reducir la ansiedad del paciente; evitar retrasos o suspensiones innecesarias; coordinar interconsultas si el paciente lo requiere; y realizar un proceso de consentimiento informado con la firma del mismo.La tendencia es a no solicitar “exámenes de rutina”, sino más bien exámenes basados en indicaciones precisas, que dependen del paciente y del tipo de cirugía.En relación al ayuno preoperatorio, las nuevas recomendaciones de la ASA buscan mejorar el confort del paciente, disminuir el riesgo de deshidratación e hipoglicemia derivados de un ayuno prolongado y a la vez minimizar el riesgo de aspiración de contenido gástrico.El paciente cardiópata sometido a cirugía no cardíaca tiene mayor morbimortalidad perioperatoria comparado con la población general; aquí la evaluación anestésica es clave en la reducción de riesgo perioperatorio, ya que de nuestra decisión de realizar estudios adicionales, manejo e intervenciones específicas dependerá el outcome en este subgrupo de pacientes.La “prehabilitación” y la “fragilidad” son conceptos emergentes, que buscan mejorar la capacidad funcional del paciente, minimizar su stress emocional y optimizar su estado nutricional, desde el preoperatorio, comparado con el enfrentamiento tradicional de “rehabilitación”. SUMMARY: The technological advances of medicine in the last decades have allowed interventions to be carried out in patients who were previously out of reach.Preanesthetic evaluation is the responsibility of the anesthesiologist, and considers information from multiple sources: clinical history, interview, records, physical examination and preoperative tests.It allows to know the history of the patient, to identify modifiable risk factors and to develop an anesthetic plan in relation to the findings to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality; educate, improve satisfaction, and reduce patient anxiety; avoid unnecessary delays or suspensions; coordinate visit to another consultant, if requires; and obtain signed informed consent.The tendency is not to request “routine preoperative testing”, but rather tests based on precise indications, which depend on the patient and the type of surgery.In relation to preoperative fasting, the update ASA recommendations seek to improve patient comfort, decrease the risk of dehydration and hypoglycemia from prolonged fasting, and minimize the risk of aspiration of gastric contents.The cardiac patient undergoing non-cardiac surgery has higher perioperative morbidity and mortality compared to the general population; here the anesthetic evaluation is key in the reduction of perioperative risk, since our decision to perform additional studies, management and specific interventions will depend on the outcome in this subgroup of patients.Surgical “prehabilitation” and “frialty” are emerging concepts that include preoperative physical, nutritional and psychological optimization, to improve postoperative recovery process, instead of the more traditional approaches, that target the postoperative period for “rehabilitation”.

Full Text Available The beginning of twenty-first century is characterized with important changes in world shipping and exploitation of ocean resources. Three important trends are clearly visible: environment protection, safety and economy. They materialize in important changes in the structure of world fleet where some existing ship types are going to disappear and new ship types emerge. Increasing the size of some ship types is another visible tendency. Stress on environment protection has serious impact on the hydrodynamic characteristics of ships whether with regard to safety zero accident rate is the goal. Important challenges to ship hydrodynamics caused by those tendencies are discussed in the paper.

Full Text Available Klinefelter syndrome is the most common sex chromosome abnormality (SCA in infertile patients and 47,XXY genomic configuration constitutes most of the cases. However, additional Xs and/or Y such as 48,XXYY, 48,XXXY, and 47,XYY can occur less frequently than 47,XXY. Those configurations were considered as variants of Klinefelter syndrome. In this report, we present an infertile man with tall stature and decreased testicular volume. Semen analysis and hormonal evaluation supported the diagnosis of nonobstructive azoospermia. Genetic investigation demonstrated an abnormal male karyotype with two X chromosomes and two Y chromosomes consistent with 48,XXYY(17/47,XYY (13. Additionally, the patient expressed cognitive and affective problems which were documented by psychomotor retardation and borderline intelligence measured by an IQ value between 70 and 80. Systemic evaluation also revealed cross ectopy and malrotation of the right kidney in the patient. The couple was referred to microtesticular sperm extraction (micro-TESE/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI cycles and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of combination of XYY and XXYY syndromes associated with cognitive, affective dysfunction and renal malrotation.

Full Text Available The compositions of the essential oils from the leaves of three domestic varieties of the guava tree Psidium guajava L. (Paluma, Século XXI and Pedro Sato and of one wild variety were compared. Essential oils were extracted by steam distillation, the components were identified by gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry GC-MS, and the apparent concentrations were determined by gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector. The results demonstrated that the three essential oils contained many common substances with a prevalence of 1,8-cineole, whereas the essential oil of the Paluma variety contained 1,8-cineole (42.68% as the major constituent, as well as α-terpineol (38.68%. The principal components of the essential oil of the Século XXI variety were 1,8-cineole (18.83%, trans-caryophyllene (12.08%, and selin-11-en-4-αol (20.98%, while those of the Pedro Sato variety and of the wild plant were 1,8-cineole (17.68% and (12.83%, caryophyllene oxide (9.34% and (9.09%, and selin-11-en-4-α-ol (21.46% and (22.19%, respectively.

Simultaneous observations of a solar limb flare in the X-ray and ultraviolet regions of the spectrum are presented. Temporal and spectral X-ray observations were obtained for the 25-300 keV range while temporal, spectral, and spatial X-ray observations were obtained for the 30-0.3 keV range. The ultraviolet observations were images with a 10'' spatial resolution in the lines of O v (Tsub(e) approx. equal to 2.5 x 10 5 K) and Fe XXI (Tsub(e) approx. equal to 1.1 x 10 7 K). The hard X-ray and O v data indicate that the impulsive phase began in the photosphere or chromosphere and continued for several minutes as material was ejected into the corona. Impulsive excitation was observed up to 30,000 km above the solar surface at specific points in the flare loop. The Fe XXI observations indicate a preheating before the impulsive phase and showed the formation of hot post-flare loops. This later formation was confirmed by soft X-ray observations. These observations provide limitations for current flare models and will provide the data needed for initial conditions in modeling the concurrent coronal transient. (orig.)

Full Text Available Il termine Smart City nasce come risposta ad alcuni problemi concreti che la città del XXI secolo si trova ad affrontare: aumento della popolazione, dell’inurbamento, cambiamento climatico. La città del XX secolo si è sviluppata in maniera deregolata, senza considerare quanto il “bene Terra” fosse limitato e come il suo ecosistema fragile. E’ all’interno di questo clima che il concetto di città “intelligente” nasce e si sviluppa. Lo studio si pone l’obiettivo di studiare il fenomeno partendo dall’analisi delle sue origini e dall’evoluzione storica che lo ha prodotto. / The Smart City word borns as an answer to some important problems that the XXI century city is asked to answer: population growing, urbanisation, climatic changes.
