    Full Text Available La categoría spinoziana de conatus ocupa un puesto central en la arquitectónica discursiva de la filosofía práctica de Arturo Andrés Roig. Se trata de un fundamento previo del saber práctico-moral que oficia de figura explicativa originaria, pues el conatus concierne a una dimensión primaria de los entes. Su status teórico no se reduce por tanto a reconocer un aspecto antropológico entre otros, sino que adquiere un carácter vertebrador en el conjunto de las estrategias de fundamentación de la idea de "moral emergente" propuesta por nuestro filósofo. Nosotros estimamos que la condición ontológica del conatus es una instancia determinante de los planteos éticos y políticos de Arturo Roig. Dicha inflexión spinozista tan patente, sin embargo, no es tenida suficientemente en cuenta en algunas lecturas especializadas de la Argentina. En consecuencia, nos proponemos en primer término destacar la función constructiva que ese momento spinoziano posee en el pensamiento del maestro mendocino, ciñéndonos a un tratamiento de los textos en donde esa fuerza conceptual se torna más visible, sin excluir por cierto otros tratamientos concomitantes. Ello nos permitirá, en un segundo nivel más historiográfico de análisis, revalorar la recepción de Spinoza en los escritos de Arturo Roig.The Spinoza conatus category occupies a central place in the architectural discourse of practical philosophy of Arturo Andres Roig. This is a preliminary basis of practical knowledge and moral figure that offers originating explanation, as the conatus concerns a primary dimension of entities. Its theoretical status is not reduced only to recognizing anthropological aspect among others, but acquires a backbone in the set of strategies to substantiate the idea of "emerging moral" given by our philosopher. We believe that the ontological status is an instance of conatus determinant of ethical and political layout of Arturo Roig. Spinoza said turning so clearly

  5. Ocean-Ice-Atmosphere Interactions off Sabrina and Adelie Coasts During NBP1402 and AU1402

    Diverse interactions of winds, currents and ice around Antarctica dictate how, where and when the world's densest waters form, massive floating ice shelves and glaciers melt, gases are exchanged at the sea surface, and primary productivity. Compelled by recent rate estimates of East Antarctic Ice Sheet mass loss, we contrast the paths and mixing histories of oceanic waters reaching the continental ice edge off the Sabrina and Adelie coasts relying on a the first synoptic shipboard measurements made by U.S. (NBP1402) and Australian (AU1402) scientists. Analysis of historical hydrography and sea ice concentration fields within the Mertz Polynya indicates the apparent effect of evolving ocean-ice- atmosphere interactions on the characteristics of local Shelf Water (SW) sources. A polynya dominated water mass structure similar to that observed off the Adelie Coast before the removal of the Mertz Ice Tongue was expected to the west of the Dalton Ice Tongue (DIT). However, there was no evidence of dense SW off Sabrina Coast during both summer cruises of 2014 and 2015, thus lessening the region's preconceived influence to global meridional overturning. Present sea ice production within the eastern Dalton Polynya is overshadowed by freshwater input to relatively stable interior upper waters. The Antarctic Coastal Current (ACoC) picks up distinct meltwater contributions along the DIT western flank and in front of the Moscow University Ice Shelf (MUIS) and Totten Glacier (TG). Unlike over other highly influential margins to global sea level rise, the main evidence of inflow and mixing of relatively warm oceanic waters is reduced to relatively cold thermocline water (< 0.3°C) from the continental slope. This source water enters the eastern trough off Sabrina Coast and is swiftly steered poleward by complex underlying topography. Meltwater export from beneath the MUIS and TG is observed at newly discovered trenches that effectively constrain sub-cavity inflow to low salinity

    Diverse interactions of winds, currents and ice around Antarctica dictate how, where and when the world's densest waters form and massive floating ice shelves and glaciers melt, as well as control sea surface gas exchange and primary productivity. Compelled by recent rate estimates of East Antarctic Ice Sheet mass loss, we contrast the paths and mixing histories of oceanic waters reaching the continental ice edge off the Sabrina and Adelie coasts relying on the unique set of synoptic shipboard measurements from NBP1402 (swath bathymetry, ADCP, underway CTD). Analysis of historical hydrography and sea ice concentration fields within the Mertz Polynya indicates the apparent effect of evolving ocean-ice-atmosphere interactions on the characteristics of local Shelf Water (SW) sources to current outflow of newly formed Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW). A polynya dominated water mass structure similar to that observed off the Adelie Coast before the removal of the Mertz Ice Tongue was expected to the west of the Dalton Ice Tongue (DIT). However, we found no evidence of dense SW off Sabrina Coast, which may lessen the region's preconceived influence to global meridional overturning. Present sea ice production within the eastern Dalton Polynya is overshadowed by freshwater input to relatively stable interior upper waters. The Antarctic Coastal Current (ACoC) picks up distinct meltwater contributions along the DIT western flank and in front of the Moscow University Ice Shelf (MUIS) and Totten Glacier (TG). Unlike over other highly influential margins to global sea level rise, there is no evidence of local cross-shelf inflow and mixing of warm Circumpolar Deep Water. Relatively cold thermocline waters from the continental slope enter the eastern trough off Sabrina Coast, and they are swiftly steered poleward by complex underlying topography.

    Full Text Available Nació en Cereté, Córdoba, el 28 de abril de 1925, murió en Bogotá, el 27 de abril de 2015, a la edad de 90 años. Transcurría el año 1950 cuando estudiaba medicina en la Universidad Javeriana en Bogotá. Una tarde casi noche, con el frío sabanero, conocí un personaje cuyo nombre era Arturo Morillo Quiñones, el cual generaría en mí un impacto a diferentes niveles: intelectuales, científicos y humanos, en especial por su manera de ser auténtica, veraz, cálida, con un amplio humor, leal, inteligente, real y brillante. Por aquellos años 1950 establecimos una relación de una profunda amistad. Así vinieron diferentes hechos de nuestras historias personales y el conocimiento de la vida familiar, así como nuestras experiencias. Arturo relataba una serie de reminiscencias vividas de niño por allá en la región del Sinú, el Magdalena, y toda la región llamada de la “Costa Caribe”. Las narraciones que él hacía tenían un tinte de fascinación y despertaban al niño que todos guardamos, y que le seduce esa clase de historias, las cuales oscilaban entre la realidad y la fantasía, lo absurdo y lo lógico, lo primitivo imaginario de sueños despiertos a la realidad, además de una multiplicidad de creencias supersticiones dirigidas por el pensamiento mágico. Personalmente no cesaba de preguntar sobre detalles de los contenidos de las narraciones. Aquí consigno, cómo en los años 1967 volví a leer en textos novelescos estos mismos relatos de Arturo Morillo; ahora escritos por un genio Nobel, Gabriel García Márquez. El doctor Arturo Morillo Quiñones, académico y neurocientífico acabó sus estudios de medicina en 1951 y se graduó en 1954 en la misma Universidad Javeriana; realizó su postgrado en electroencefalografía y neurofisiología en National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland.

    Full Text Available Al cumplirse doscientos años de la muerte de Immanuel Kant 2004, considerar la vigencia de su pensamiento filosófico, se constituyó en un imperativo categórico, para quienes nos inscribimos en la tradición de la filosofía occidental. En cumplimiento del mismo, el texto que se presenta se ocupa de la vigencia de la filosofía del filósofo de Königsberg a través de la consideración de dos expresiones de la inteligencia filosófica en América Latina: Arturo Andrés Roig (Mendoza, Argentina, 1922 y Franz J. Hinkelammert (Emsdetten, Alemania,1931. Los programas de investigación en curso de los dos autores elegidos, en el abordaje y desarrollo de distintos tópicos, proceden argumentativamente desde, contra y más allá de Kant, exhibiendo una singular vigencia de su filosofía al interior de los mismos. En el pensamiento de Arturo Andrés Roig, los tópicos de referencia que se consideran son: la normatividad del pensamiento filosófico, la filosofía de la historia, la fundamentación de una moral emergente y la fundamentación de una estética motivacional. De la producción teórica de Franz J. Hinkelammert, se presentan: la crítica a la razón utópica y el realismo político, la crítica trascendental de los marcos categoriales de los pensamientos sociales, la trascendentalidad del sujeto y el problema del universalismo ético en la tensión entre la ética de la responsabilidad y la ética de principios. Surge de la consideración de los asuntos enumerados, que en relación al universalismo abstracto de Kant, estos dos exponentes de la inteligencia filosófica en América Latina, convergen en la fundamentación de un universalismo concreto.Currency of Kant's philosophy in two recent expressions of the philosophical intelligence in Latin America: Arturo Andrés Roig and Franz J.

    2016-09-01

    Full Text Available El siguiente artículo analiza la película El lugar sin límites (1977 de Arturo Ripstein, basada en la novela homónima de José Donoso (1966. Ambas obras se conocen como ejemplos tempranos de un discurso sobre la homosexualidad dentro de las sociedades homófobas latinoamericanas de la era antes de Foucault. Su meta es mostrar las diferencias específicas «esenciales» entre la novela y la película con respecto al tema de los problemas de género y del deseo homosexual en particular. Cuando Ripstein pidió el guión a Manuel Puig, quería ganar la colaboración de una voz «auténticamente» gay, pero más tarde Puig no reconoció su autoría. Las dos obras disponen de técnicas específicas para visualizar la «perturbación de géneros», a saber: métodos gramaticales en el caso de la novela, y el uso de colores simbólicos en el caso de la película. Ésta última muestra, más claramente que la novela, el carácter performativo del género. Aunque la película aborda cuestiones como la homofobia, la represión y los inicios de una liberación sexual –y por ello podría relacionarse con el popular cine de fichera–, su principal logro es mostrar, de manera consciente e inédita, el proceso emancipatorio de un gay, travesti en este caso. Si hay una persona «trágica» en esta película, ya no es La Manuela, el travesti, sino Pancho, el macho y homosexual.Palabras clave: Ripstein, Donoso, El lugar sin límites, homosexualidad en Latinoamérica, Gender Trouble (perturbación de género en Latinoamérica, homofobia en Latinoamérica, emancipación gay en Latinoamérica.AbstractThe following article analyzes Arturo Ripstein’s film El lugar sin límites (1977, based on José Donoso’s homonymous novel (1966.

    2003-12-01

    Full Text Available The Ponencia Colectiva, written by Arturo Serrano Plaja in the name of the Spanish youth, was not only a reflection on the writer's place in society, but also a statement in the concrete historical context of the Spanish Civil War. It was presented in the II Congreso Internacional de Escritores para la Defensa de la Cultura, which was inspired and directed by organisms and fellow travellers of the Communist Party. Those who signed the Ponencia Colectiva demanded an art centred in mankind, far away from the pure art and the propaganda art. They put at the disposal of the republican government, supported by the U.S.S.R., both their intellectual work and their effort as young men in the fight, rejecting the anarchic revolutionarism. They also declared their intellectual and political autonomy. This aspiration joined them to the project of the journal Hora de España, to which most of them were regular contributors.La Ponencia Colectiva, escrita por Arturo Serrano Plaja en nombre de la juventud, no sólo fue una reflexión sobre el oficio del escritor en la sociedad, sino también una toma de posición en el momento histórico concreto de la Guerra Civil Española. Se leyó en el II Congreso Internacional de Escritores para la Defensa de la Cultura, inspirado y dirigido por organismos y compañeros de ruta del Partido Comunista. Los firmantes de la Ponencia Colectiva reclamaban «un arte por y para el hombre», lejos del arte puro y del arte de propaganda. Ponían al servicio del gobierno republicano ayudado por la U.R.S.S. tanto su trabajo intelectual como su esfuerzo como hombres jóvenes en la lucha, rechazando el revolucionarismo libertario. Asimismo manifestaban su autonomía intelectual y política, pretensión que les unía al proyecto de la revista, Mora de España, en la cual la mayoría de ellos colaboraba asiduamente.

    2010-01-01

    Full Text Available Este artículo realiza una meta-lectura a la propuesta teórica de Arturo Escobar al señalar las fuentes críticas a las que acude como construcción y deconstrucción de pensamiento latinoamericano tales como: antropológica, ecológica; post-estructuralista y post-marxista en sociedades globales y locales las cuales componen la propuesta del postdesarrollo en la pluriversalidad. La construcción del pensamiento de-colonial en la política permite al lector reconocer rutas de reflexión y movilización en prácticas teóricas y teorías en la práctica a partir de la comprensión de comunidades locales de afirmación que se constituyen en referentes al descolocar la mirada universal y homo céntrica propuesta en el modelo modernidad/colonialidad en la separación: individuo, comunidad, naturaleza y cultura. Esta propuesta transita a una perspectiva bio-céntrica de la realidad en la cual se reconoce la producción de conocimiento que formula las preguntas desde Latinoamérica misma, rompiendo con el modelo civilización-barbarie que ha negado sistemáticamente las historias de pluralidad. En este sentido, Escobar recupera el locus de enunciación a partir de la deconstrucción de las neocolonizaciones del pensamiento en las teorías del desarrollo hacia la configuración de conocimientos de otro modo.

    2017-01-01

    Full Text Available Brecht’s ‘canonical’ literary work’s indigenization in Pakistan can offer a valuable transcultural adaptation study because it was performed through a radical theatre with a distinct dramaturgy and political philosophy in two different cultural contexts and historical frame of references. As the foremost representative of Brecht’s radical dramaturgy, philosophy and literary works in Pakistan since 1983, Ajoka theatre utilized these adaptations as socio-political spaces to challenge dominant discourses on the rise of dictatorship and capitalism in Pakistan. Prior studies explored the formal elements of these adaptations of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui(1942 : visual and aural and the intellectual content i.e. political dimension of this ‘social action theatre’ is still unexamined. This contextual reading attempts to fulfill this ‘gap’ by conducting a seminal contextual criticism on ‘literary representations’ of Pakistani pro-capitalist dictators in selected transcultural adaptations of Brecht’s work in light of new historicism and Hutcheon’s Theory of Adaptation. The article also explores how in the second phase Brecht’s social and political philosophy is reflected in Ajoka’s signature plays, Bala King (1997 and The Third Knock (1970.

    Full Text Available Arturo de Córdova was an international Mexican film star that managed to participate in Mexico, Argentina and Spain cinemas. His career was possible in a transnational cinema that achieved to reach to a wide Spanish speaking audience. In these films, he developed a character that went from the romantic male star to the mature seducer that will have an important role in the post-war middleclass society. He will act as a medium character between active businessman and their wives that will not admit the daily housework and be kept in a private sphere as norm. The analysis will be focussed on two plays that were adapted to the cinema. These plays were written by two Spanish authors; Alejandro Casona in Mexico and Alfonso Paso in Spain, and they were shot in these countries as Las tres perfectas casadas (1952 and Cena de matrimonios (1962. The dramatic similarity in their approach to the conflict between men and women allow us to present the critical view elaborated against the conventions that gave structure to marriage in this society. The fact that De Córdova played the main role points out the Hispanic shared culture about genre matters.Arturo de Córdova fue una estrella internacional mexicana que participó en las cinematografías de México, Argentina y España. Su carrera fue posible en un cine transnacional que logró llegar a un amplio público hispanoparlantes. En estas películas, desarrolló un personaje que fue de la estrella romántica al seductor marido que tendrá un papel importante en la sociedad de clase media, posterior a la Guerra Mundial. Actuará como un personaje de mediación entre los activos hombres de negocios y sus mujeres, que no admitirán el trabajo de casa y quedarse en un espacio privado como norma. El análisis del artículo se concentrará en dos obras teatrales que fueron llevadas al cine. Esas obras fueron escritas por dos autores españoles: Alejandro Casona en México y Alfonso de Paso en España, y fueron

  10. Environmental and ice volume changes based on seismic stratigraphy in Sabrina Coast, East Antarctica: Preliminary results from NBP1402

    In 2014, the R/V Nathaniel B. Palmer (NBP1402) sailed to a virtually unexplored continental shelf along the Sabrina Coast, East Antarctica. The shelf contains the sedimentary record of environmental and ice volume changes within the Aurora Subglacial Basin (ASB), which is presently occupied by ~7 m sea level-rise equivalent of ice. We acquired 750 km of high-resolution seismic data proximal to the Reynolds Trough and Moscow University Ice Shelf glacial systems west of the Dalton Ice Tongue using dual 45/45 cu. in. G.I. guns and a 24 ch. streamer with 3.125 m groups providing a vertical resolution of ~3 m simultaneously with CHIRP data. These are the first images of this margin acquired and show a remarkable set of sequence stratigraphic transitions. Crystalline basement is at the seafloor landward and buried seaward with a transition to smoother reflection interface. Reflective sedimentary strata overlie the basement, dip seaward, and are capped by a landward-dipping regional angular unconformity. Above this are a series of transparent seismic facies that, along with the middle to outer shelf seafloor, dip landward towards a shelf-oblique glacial trough. The older, seaward-dipping strata include a deeper series of units that display at least three stratal architectures interpreted to be shelf deltas implying a pre-glacial, fluvial environment within the drainage basin. Above these sequences, the seismic facies transition to surfaces exhibiting significant erosion, small u-shaped valleys, and channel fill sequences, all of which are reminiscent of temperate glacial features. We interpret these sequences as including sub-ice tunnel valleys and grounding zone wedges with interspersed non-glacial to pro-glacial deposits. Increasing glaciogenic facies upsection suggests a gradual fluvial to glacial transition and increasing glacial extent with time. The subsequent transition to ice sheets is marked by erosion to basement landward and the angular unconformity seaward

    Full Text Available LA PERSONA Y LA FIGURA de Arturo Prat parece que, a simple vista, representan una misma y única unidad. Pero, si profundizamos algo más en la vida de este marino y abogado, nos daremos cuenta de que sus datos biográficos y la percepción que tuvo la sociedad de éste, varían considerablemente, pues, por su misma condición de héroe, está sujeto a los vaivenes interpretativos propios de la sobreabundante mitología nacional. Y es que el héroe, dice Sater, plantea otras problemáticas y disyuntivas cuando se le estudia, diferente a las del hombre público que posee figuración o renombre. En el héroe, por el contrario, confluyen elementos que responden a otro tipo de variables sociales, espirituales y culturales, y que es, por cierto, la preocupación fundamental que se ha propuesto desarrollar en este libro el historiador norteamericano. Analizar, comprender o estudiar la imagen heroica de Prat exige la participación de otros elementos analíticos que, a su vez, se plantean en relación a determinados momentos de la historia de Chile. No hay dudas al respecto: a nadie dejaba indiferente los rasgos y virtudes que desprendía la cautivante personalidad de Prat, considerando que éste era un ejemplo único de abnegación, heroísmo y de entrega hacia su patria, digno de imitar y difundir hacia el resto de la sociedad. Cada vez que ocurría alguna desgracia, el país requería a su vez de un estímulo moral para superar los problemas nacionales. ¿Cómo lograrlo? Recurriendo a Prat, que luego se transformaría en una práctica común, que excedió los límites de la mesura y el entendimiento.

    We show results of measurements made during the Sun's eclipse of November 3, 1994, in Observatorio Astronómico de Rosario (32o 57' S, 60o 37' W, 25 m a.s.l.). The eclipse begin at 8:41 local hour, reached its maximum with 77% of the surface covered at 9:51 and finished at 11:04. The direct solar irradiance of 300 nm and 313 nm were able to be measured, due to the fact that during the whole period the sky remained completed uncovered (zero percent cloudiness). The measurements were made with the portable ozonometer developed by Tocho and co-workers. They show the characterictic decrease due to the occultation of the source, which is approximately proportional to the surface's diminution. When crossing the earth's atmosphere to arrive to the observation point, these irradiances are affected mainly by the ozone layer, specially the irradiance at lower wavelength, what let it to determine by comparison the thickness of this layer. The total ozone thickness distributed between the troposphere and the stratosphere shows an oscillation, whose amplitude, since the occurence of the maximum of occulation, has a mean value of 4%, and whose period is of approximately 2100 seconds, being both numbers considerably larger than the ones registred by Mims III y Mims (Geophysical Research Letters, 20, 367, 1993) during the eclipse of July 11, 1991 and by Tocho, Da Silva y Rivas (XVIII Quadriennial Ozone Symposiom, Italy, September, 1996) during the same eclipse analyzed in the present work, but observed in Salta. As complementary results, we measured the global irradiance and the ambient temperature during this astronomical event.

    Antarctica's continental-scale ice sheets have evolved over the past 50 million years. However, the dearth of ice-proximal geological records limits our understanding of past East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) behaviour and thus our ability to evaluate its response to ongoing environmental change. The EAIS is marine-terminating and grounded below sea level within the Aurora subglacial basin, indicating that this catchment, which drains ice to the Sabrina Coast, may be sensitive to climate perturbations. Here we show, using marine geological and geophysical data from the continental shelf seaward of the Aurora subglacial basin, that marine-terminating glaciers existed at the Sabrina Coast by the early to middle Eocene epoch. This finding implies the existence of substantial ice volume in the Aurora subglacial basin before continental-scale ice sheets were established about 34 million years ago. Subsequently, ice advanced across and retreated from the Sabrina Coast continental shelf at least 11 times during the Oligocene and Miocene epochs. Tunnel valleys associated with half of these glaciations indicate that a surface-meltwater-rich sub-polar glacial system existed under climate conditions similar to those anticipated with continued anthropogenic warming. Cooling since the late Miocene resulted in an expanded polar EAIS and a limited glacial response to Pliocene warmth in the Aurora subglacial basin catchment. Geological records from the Sabrina Coast shelf indicate that, in addition to ocean temperature, atmospheric temperature and surface-derived meltwater influenced East Antarctic ice mass balance under warmer-than-present climate conditions. Our results imply a dynamic EAIS response with continued anthropogenic warming and suggest that the EAIS contribution to future global sea-level projections may be under-estimated.

    Full Text Available Drawing form musical theory, this paper aims to offer a musical reading of two works by Argentine poet Arturo Carrera: Children's Corners (1989 and Las cuatro estaciones [The Four Seasons] (2008. Beyond the intertextuality, and we could also say, the “intersonority”, with the pieces composed by Debussy, in the first case, and Vivaldi, in the second, this reading allow us to critically reflect on two complex theoretical notions that intersect both artistic experiences: time –which appears as a remain and as rhythm–  and space –which appears both in the idea of musical notation and in the simultaneous construction of the poem. Moreover, since this intersection is also methodological, another compelling issue is to show that what was read and heard with the musical notation of the early twentieth century was precisely the fantasy of beating the directionality of progressive time, the time of the century. How to write then the triumph of the progressive directionality of time? Which senses does this writing touch in Arturo Carrera’s work?

    Full Text Available Este ensayo problematiza, en primer lugar, las interpelaciones entre la “ficción autobiográfica” de Severo Sarduy y el “biografema” de Roland Barthes, como una modulación en la pregunta acerca de formas de la simulación y de cómo escribir la propia autobiografía con otros. En segundo lugar, analiza la obra Teoría del Cielo de Arturo Carrera y Teresa Arijón, cuando a través de la imagen del tokonoma revisan el legado de Lezama Lima y Sarduy, e inscriben su experimentación biografemática en la tradición neobarroca.

    Full Text Available A partir de la perspectiva general de la ecocrítica o ecopoética, este artículo analiza los modos como se representa la naturaleza y su relación con lo humano en la obra Glosa paseada bajo el fuego y la lluvia (1982 del escritor chocoano Carlos Arturo Caicedo Licona. Las cinco instancias de esa figuración que aquí se estudian ayudan a crear un universo simbólico que respalda una idea de chocoanidad cifrada en prácticas, creencias, recorridos y visiones desde un marco anterior a tecnologías de la identidad como la biodiversidad o la patrimonialización.Based on the general premises of Ecocriticism, this article explores the ways in which nature and its inter-relation to human beings is created in Glosa paseada bajo el fuego y la lluvia, a work by Carlos Arturo Caicedo Licona, a writer from Chocó, Colombia. Five instances of that representation are analyzed as pieces that, while describing practices, conceptions, beliefs and cartographic descriptions, structure an idea of Chocoan identity previous to current identity technologies, such as patrimonialization and biodiversity.

    Full Text Available O artigo analisa de forma comparada os golpes de Estado que derrubaram João Goulart no Brasil (1964 e Arturo Illia na Argentina (1966, enfocando especialmente a influência norte-americana nestes episódios. Esta análise permite vislumbrar uma série de nuanças sobre os contextos, interesses internos e prioridades da política externa dos Estados Unidos, demonstrando que, além das especificidades, circunstâncias, motivações e lutas internas, ambos os movimentos estavam inseridos em uma estratégia única, aplicada na época em toda a América Latina.Using a comparative perspective, the article analyses the military coups which expelled João Goulart and Arturo Illia from presidency in Brazil (1964 and Argentina (1966, focusing on the American influence on these historical facts.

    Full Text Available Um aspecto importante na escolha de cultivares para uma determinada condição ambiental é a determinação da produção comercial, que indica o potencial de produção por área. O objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar a produção comercial de cultivares de alface nas condições de solo e clima de Bananeiras, Paraíba, durante a estação chuvosa. Foram avaliadas oito cultivares (Cindy, Elba, Grand Rapids, Kaesar, Mimosa, Sabrina, Summer Green e Verônica, no delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, com quatro repetições. As parcelas tinham 27 plantas, espaçadas de 30 cm entre fileiras e entre linhas. Aos 51 dias após o transplante, as plantas foram colhidas e avaliadas quanto à massa fresca total e comercial, massa seca de folhas, número de folhas, diâmetro da planta, índice comercial e produção comercial. Os maiores valores de massa fresca total e comercial, de diâmetro da planta e produção comercial foram verificados para a cultivar Kaesar. Quanto à massa seca, 'Kaesar' e 'Elba' apresentaram os valores mais elevados. Os maiores números de folha foram obtidos com 'Mimosa', 'Elba', 'Sabrina' e 'Summer Green'. As cultivares Grand Rapids, Verônica e Kaesar mostraram-se mais suscetíveis à septoriose, principalmente nas folhas mais velhas. Considerando-se os resultados e a preferência dos consumidores, 'Kaesar' e 'Summer Green' foram as mais promissoras para introdução e testes em áreas de produção comercial de alface.An important issue when choosing cultivars for specific environmental conditions is to estimate the marketable production, which indicates the potential production per area.

First, the collective efforts of the Medellin privileged sectors are described, which participated as investors and as actors. Then, the movie’s appropriation of what could be called the “vernacular modernism” is analyzed through the cultural matrix of melodrama, which is characterized by intensity and schematization of feelings, by the story’s development from ignorance to recognition, the supremacy of family relationships and essential loyalties, as well as by the expression of emotional excess. Finally, the acceptance of the movie by the audience, which was characterized by the consensus towards the regional representation shown in the movie, will be commented on.

    1990-01-01

    The Los Alamos Radiation Transport Code System (LARTCS) consists of state-of-the-art Monte Carlo and discrete ordinates transport codes and data libraries. These codes were originally developed many years ago and have undergone continual improvement. With a large initial effort and continued vigilance, the codes are easily portable from one type of hardware to another. The performance of scientific work-stations (SWS) has evolved to the point that such platforms can be used routinely to perform sophisticated radiation transport calculations. As the personal computer (PC) performance approaches that of the SWS, the hardware options for desk-top radiation transport calculations expands considerably. The current status of the radiation transport codes within the LARTCS is described: MCNP, SABRINA, LAHET, ONEDANT, TWODANT, TWOHEX, and ONELD. Specifically, the authors discuss hardware systems on which the codes run and present code performance comparisons for various machines

    This paper reports the determination of glycosidically bound aroma compounds and the olfactometric analysis in four strawberry varieties (Fuentepina, Camarosa, Candonga and Sabrina). Different hydrolytic strategies were also studied. The results showed significant differences between acid and enzymatic hydrolysis. In general terms, the greater the duration of acid hydrolysis, the higher was the content of norisoprenoids, volatile phenols, benzenes, lactones, Furaneol, and mesifurane. A total of 51 aglycones were identified, 38 of them unreported in strawberry. Olfactometric analyses revealed that the odorants with higher modified frequencies were Furaneol, γ-decalactone, ethyl butanoate, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl 3-methylbutanoate, diacetyl, hexanoic acid, and (Z)-1,5-octadien-3-one. This last compound, described as geranium/green/pepper/lettuce (linear retention index = 1378), was identified for the first time. Differences with regard to fruity, sweet, floral, and green aroma characters were observed among varieties. In Candonga and Fuentepina, the green character overpowered the sweet. In the other two strawberry varieties sweet attributes were stronger than the rest.

    1990-01-01

    The Los Alamos Radiation Transport Code System (LARTCS) consists of state-of-the-art Monte Carlo and discrete ordinates transport codes and data libraries. This paper discusses how the general-purpose continuous-energy Monte Carlo code MCNP (Monte Carlo neutron photon), part of the LARTCS, provides a computational predictive capability for many applications of interest to the nuclear well logging community. The generalized three-dimensional geometry of MCNP is well suited for borehole-tool models. SABRINA, another component of the LARTCS, is a graphics code that can be used to interactively create a complex MCNP geometry. Users can define many source and tally characteristics with standard MCNP features. The time-dependent capability of the code is essential when modeling pulsed sources. Problems with neutrons, photons, and electrons as either single particle or coupled particles can be calculated with MCNP. The physics of neutron and photon transport and interactions is modeled in detail using the latest available cross-section data

    2017-07-01

    I enjoyed reading Tozzi and colleagues' treatment of the mindful brain, from the perspective of topodynamics[13]. It offers a thought-provoking and inclusive review of the most challenging issue in neuroscience; namely, the relationship between neuronal dynamics and the more abstract processes - or perhaps geometries - that underwrite cognitive operations and the very act of thinking. Tozzi et al. [13] offer a graceful integration of two formal perspectives on brain functioning. The first appeals to a model of brain-mind functioning called operational architectonics[8], while the second promotes a topodynamic description, in terms of projections and mappings that take place on abstract structures, equipped with different dimensions, curvatures and constraints [12]. In the words of the authors, this ;throws … a bridge between the subjective, immediate datum of the naive complex of sensations and meditations and the objective quantitative, data … from experimental neuroscientific procedures.; The writing style is artful and challenging; covering many ideas at an almost breathless (if poetic) pace. One could be forgiven for thinking that there is an element of ;the Emperor's New Clothes; in this earnest and grand description. I say this as a provocative critique of the writing style - and to celebrate one of the key insights of the article: namely, we may not be looking in the right place to see the Emperor's New Clothes because they actually live in a higher dimensional space in which physical (and phenomenal) dynamics are embedded.

Allen ist gemeinsam, dass sie von einer Fragilität von Männlichkeit ausgehen: Männlichkeit scheint etwas zu sein, dass brüchig wird, sobald es sich von heteronormer Zweigeschlechtlichkeit löst und ‚anders‘ daherkommt, als hegemoniale Vorstellungen dies vorschreiben.This anthology offers a good overview on the variety of subject areas, which the cultural studies field of ‘masculinity studies’ is currently devoted to. In addition to theoretical texts, the reader finds reports from numerous smaller research projects, which try to solve the mystery of the construction of masculinity, among others through the analysis of gender representations in computer games, in literary analysis, in psychoanalysis, or in movie reviews. They all act on the assumption of the fragility of masculinity: masculinity seems to be something that becomes fragile once it is separated from the heteronormative binary conception of gender and appears in a ‘different’ way than hegemonic perceptions prescribe.

Alguns deles se organizaram em associações enquanto outras começaram a ser chamados de "afetado independente", mas a luta para encontrar suas origens e criar condições adequadas para esta legislação era em conjunto. Para esses ativistas o acesso à justiça se revelou como muito difícil e, na verdade, apenas algumas pessoas foram capazes de levar seus casos ao tribunal. Neste artigo vou descrever e analisar o caso de dois processos. Sabrina -ativista "afetado independente" - e o caso de três mulheres que, em 2012, conseguiram convencer a parteira que as vendeu ao nascer. Analisar como essas mulheres experimentam a procura pelo direito de saber as suas origens na arena judicial, permitirá compreender, em primeiro lugar, como as exigências de quem procura as suas origens no campo judicial estão definidas e, por outro lado, o alcance e limitações do sistema de justiça para essas reivindicações ao "direito de saber".

    This summer, CERN appeared at various festivals in the UK.   The inaugural Physics Pavilion at the 2016 WOMAD festival received over 3600 visitors. (Image: CERN) This summer, CERN’s outreach efforts took a step in a completely new direction as the group participated at various festivals. Following an invitation from the European Science Open Forum 2016 held in Manchester, UK, to be part of the Bluedot Festival, we produced an hour-long musical presentation with a physics theme. This featured the “Cosmic Piano”, created by Arturo Fernandez Tellez and Guillermo Tejeda Muñoz of ALICE, and a piece created from the sonification of LHC data by Domenico Vicinanza and Genevieve Williams, of Anglia Ruskin University. On a much bigger scale, we (the outreach team) collaborated with the WOMAD Festival, to host its first World of Physics in the middle of the English countryside. The result was a three-day programme of talks including “What’s the Ma...

    Full Text Available The books of Prof. Arturo Ardao dedicated to Confederacy as one of the fundamental aspects of Artigas´s ideology have triggered the analysis, from a political point of view, of Artigas´s texts, and those of some of his followers who supported his “system” (as Artigas , in his letters, called the institutional form he was hoping to introduce during the revolutionary process in the territories of the Río de la Plata. That system was directed to the achievement of sovereignty and independence for the Eastern Province (Provincia Oriental within the framework of confederal agreements similar to those that had led in the United States to the Confederation and Perpetual Union of 1781.Against the opinion of many historians, publicists and jurists who postulate that Artigas’ ideas were of a federalist persuasion, we will argue, through a brief review of some basic fundamental documents, that he adhered to a confederal system.

    Full Text Available Para valorar la utilidad del uso de inmunomoduladores en el tratamiento de niños desnutridos menores de 1 año de edad, se estudiaron 80 niños ingresados en el Servicio de Nutrición del Hospital Pediátrico Docente "Dr. Ángel Arturo Aballí", entre abril de 1996 y marzo de 1997. Se observó una disminución significativa de la incidencia y gravedad de las intercurrencias infecciosas, después del empleo de inmunomoduladores. Esta reducción se manifestó con mayor intensidad cuando se combinaron varios de ellos. Se obtuvo un incremento conjunto del índice ponderal y del área tímica al concluir la terapéutica. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los grupos tratados con factor de transferencia y biomodulina T. De los resultados de este estudio se deriva la importancia de incluir a los inmunomoduladores en el arsenal terapéutico de los niños desnutridos.

    The explanation of brain function in rational and objective terms is absolutely the most difficult challenge of all times and is continuously stimulated by a rooted instinct of knowledge. Humans, since their early forms of structured ;organization; of mental processes, improved more and more their communication attempts and ability to share perceptions and emotions and language (in any form) was the first basic instrument to assess externally in some way a sort of end result of above mentioned mental processes. How this ;abstract organizing entity; is and how it works we are still studying and debating, with exciting results and with increasingly consideration of philosophical thinking of the past and of our times (Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Russel).

Sleep disturbances may be a risk factor for development of the disorder, a symptom of the disorder, or a comorbid condition affected by a similar psychopathology. Various studies have examined the impact of sleep deprivation on the presence/exacerbation of ADHD symptomology, as well as longitudinal and concurrent associations between different sleep disturbances and ADHD, yet the notion of sleep disturbances as a predecessor to ADHD remains unclear. As such, this review examines the evidence for sleep disturbances as a risk factor for the development of ADHD, as well as the mechanisms underlying the association between sleep patterns and ADHD. Additionally, clinical implications regarding the comorbid nature of sleep disturbances and ADHD will be considered.Keywords: sleep disturbances, ADHD, development

Se na maioria das narrativas existe algum tipo de dénouement, em algumas delas isso acontece de maneira especialmente satisfatória e afirmativa. O conto de fadas é uma dessas formas narrativas onde o efeito catártico é extremo e preenche objetivos específicos, de acordo com Bruno Bettelheim. Hollywood mimetizou essa forma como estratégia de sedução, iniciando a tradição do final feliz no cinema. A partir do conto de fadas Cinderela, em diferentes versões, juntamente com a animação homônima da Disney e ainda duas versões do filme Sabrina, será traçada aqui uma relação entre a catarse e o final feliz nos contos de fada, bem como seu uso pela indústria cultural.

    ESA has named a space ferry after Edoardo Amaldi, one of the founding fathers of CERN but also of ESRO, the ancestor of ESA. Although they have developed in different ways, the three large European scientific organisations – CERN, ESO and ESA – have common roots. A webcast on the day of the launch of the spaceship from Kourou (French Guiana) will celebrate this fact with historic recollections and the participation of members of the Amaldi family.   The ESA’s Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) number three will fly a document which has a very clear title: “Edoardo Amaldi, an ESA pioneer”. Given the fact that Edoardo Amaldi was also one of the founding fathers of CERN and that CERN gave birth to ESO, the idea to mark the event with a common action came quite naturally. The live webcast will take place on 23 March at 3 p.m. with the participation of Ugo Amaldi, CERN physicist and son of Edoardo Amaldi, Arturo Russo, historian and author with John...

    The authors draw upon the experiences of one of the co-authors as an expert witness in sociology for mitigation at three of the courts-martial pertaining to the abuse at Abu Ghraib that were held at Ft. Hood, Texas in the year 2005 (for Javal Davis, Sabrina Harman, and Lynndie England). In addition, this paper is based upon the thousands of pages of affidavits, testimony, and U.S. Government reports concerning Abu Ghraib. These internal government reports, as well as the Levin-McCain report, point to collective responsibility and the responsibility of individuals high in the chain of command for establishing unlawful techniques. We review the shortcomings of a purely psychological approach for understanding the abuse, and turn to Durkheim's original understanding of anomie as a state of social derangement or rule by lack of rule to introduce the ideas of the social origins of and social responsibility for the abuse. We conclude with sociological suggestions for reforming some of the legal, medical, psychiatric, and other professional complicity in the abuse at Abu Ghraib. Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

  6. From phase transitions to the topological renaissance. Comment on "Topodynamics of metastable brains" by Arturo Tozzi et al.

    2017-07-01

    The neural topodynamics theory of Tozzi et al. [13] has two main foci: metastable brain dynamics and the topological approach based on the Borsuk-Ulam theorem (BUT). Briefly, metastable brain dynamics theory hypothesizes that temporary stable synchronization and desynchronization of large number of individual dynamical systems, formed by local neural circuits, are responsible for coding of complex concepts in the brain and sudden changes of these synchronization patterns correspond to operational steps. But what dynamical network could form the substrate for this metastable dynamics, capable of entering into a combinatorially high number of metastable synchronization patterns and exhibit rapid transient changes between them? The general problem is related to the discrimination between ;Black Swans; and ;Dragon Kings;. While BSs are related to the theory of self-organized criticality, and suggests that high-impact extreme events are unpredictable, Dragon-kings are associated with the occurrence of a phase transition, whose emergent organization is based on intermittent criticality [9]. Widening the limits of predictability is one of the big open problems in the theory and practice of complex systems (Sect. 9.3 of Érdi [2]).

    2017-07-01

    Recently the number of theories trying to explain the brain - cognition - behavior relation has been increased. Promoted on the one hand by the development of sophisticated brain imaging techniques, such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and on the other, by complex computational models based on chaos and graph theory. But has this really advanced our understanding of the brain-behavior relation beyond Descartes's dualistic mind body division? One could critically argue that replacing the pineal body with extracellular electric fields represented in the electroencephalogram (EEG) as rapid transitional processes (RTS), combined with algebraic topology and dubbed brain topodynamics [1] is just putting lipstick on an outmoded evergreen.

La dogmatica di procedura pena- le inizia con la monografia di Giovanni Conso, nel 1955. L’insoddisfazione con il tecnicismo giuridico e con la mancanza di maturità scientifica si è manifestata con Carnelutti nel 1946 (Cerenterola, sottolineando le peculiarità strutturali del procedimento penale. In questa prospettiva, il testo sottolinea la conferenza di Franco Cordero nel 1964 (Lecce, così come le lezioni da James Goldschmidt. Inoltre, negli anni sessanta, divennero importanti diritti fondamentali, di fronte alla Costituzione democratica, con un nuovo orientamento dottrinale. Il diritto processuale penale è stato considerato come diritto costituzionale applicato. Si segnalano gli insegnamenti di Amodio, Amato, Chiavario, Ferrua, Grevi, Iluminati, Massa e Nobili. Successivamente, l’articolo mette in evidenza il CPP del 1988, l’internazionalizzazione dei sistemi giuridici, l’importanza del diritto comparato e dei diritti fondamentali. Si conclude con il nuovo ordine mondiale dei diplomi internazionali e tribunali sovranazionali, con nuove esigenze, oltre il tecnicismo giuridico.

How did a vague idea based on traditional models for art museums and multidisciplinary centres become two unique models and points of reference both locally and internationally? The explanation that we have is that it went from a project based on cultural regeneration to models for unique cultural institutions that are the launch pad for what we call cultural government.This article is the result of research into the cultural policy system in Catalonia and the transformation of the Raval district, which has led to the PhD thesis entitled "A new paradigm for cultural policy.

However, in clinical practice, MMF dose reduction, interruption, or discontinuation due to hematological and gastrointestinal (GI side-effects occurred in up to 50% of the patients. Large retrospective analyses have demonstrated that patients requiring MMF dose manipulation due to adverse events experienced a higher rate of rejection and graft loss. Enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS was developed with the goal of improving upper GI side-effects. Here, we review the efficacy and safety of EC-MPS in de novo kidney transplant recipient, and in stable renal transplant patients who were converted from MMF.

  14. An 8700 year paleoclimate reconstruction from the southern Maya lowlands

    Wahl, David B.; Byrne, Roger; Anderson, Lysanna

    2014-01-01

    Analysis of a sediment core from Lago Puerto Arturo, a closed basin lake in northern Peten, Guatemala, has provided an ∼8700 cal year record of climate change and human activity in the southern Maya lowlands. Stable isotope, magnetic susceptibility, and pollen analyses were used to reconstruct environmental change in the region. Results indicate a relatively wet early to middle Holocene followed by a drier late Holocene, which we interpret as reflecting long-term changes in insolation (precession). Higher frequency variability is more likely attributable to changes in ocean/atmosphere circulation in both the North Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. Pollen and isotope data show that most of the period of prehispanic agricultural settlement, i.e. ∼5000–1000 cal yr BP, was characterized by drier conditions than previous or subsequent periods. The presence ofZea (corn) pollen through peak aridity during the Terminal Classic period (∼1250–1130 cal yr BP) suggests that drought may not have had as negative an impact as previously proposed. A dramatic negative shift in isotope values indicates an increase in precipitation after ∼950 cal yr BP (hereafter BP).

  16. Telling Tales of War to Teens: Ignacio Martínez de Pisón's Una guerra africana and Morocco as "Open Wound" in the Spanish National Imaginary

    Full Text Available Exactly ten years after its traumatic defeat in the Spanish-American War of 1898, Spain appeared to find some compensation for the loss of its last colonies by undertaking the invasion of Morocco in 1908. The enterprise proved difficult when the forces of Abd-el-Krim defeated the Spanish army in the summer of 1921. This terrible loss was metaphorized as an "open wound" and entered the collective imagination by becoming a theme in novels such as José Díaz Fernández's El blocao (1928, Ramón Sender's Imán (1930, and Arturo Barea's series La forja de un rebelde (1941-1944. Known as the "Disaster of Annual," the defeat appeared to be almost forgotten until a series of narratives in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries obsessively returned to this particular moment of Spanish history. I focus on how one such narrative, Martínez de Pisón's Una guerra africana (2000, revisits this war as adolescent literature ("novelas juveniles" and within the literary genre of the "novels of the War in Africa," and by so doing, contributes to the articulation of a Spanish collective identity with the historical memory of the feared Moroccan Other.

    Full Text Available Chicana author Helena María Viramontes’s culturally complex “The Cariboo Cafe,” renders a contemporaneous example of social death in the lives of undocumented migrants. Sociologist Orlando Patterson bases “social death” on the “profound natal alienation of the slave” (38 that once cut off from a past and future, promulgates the slave’s desocialization and depersonalization: systems also at play with undocumented Central American immigrants. While Patterson refers to an overt and systemized economic exploitation of a people, the concept remains relevant to this analysis, though symbolic. It examines a three-fold negation through the representational experiences of undocumented immigration, gender, and what Arturo Arias calls Central American “nonentity” (186, in Viramontes’s short story to address Central American differences erased by the utopian desire for reconciliation in Chicana/Latina texts. While social death is originally conceived and applied through “a mode of oppression through which slaves, and by extension those who grew up under the control of Jim Crow society” were coerced through hegemony (JanMohammed 246, its current relevance is allegorical to the conditions that delocalized and depersonalized literary representations of Central Americans. The question is what contemporary hegemonies socially kill the articulation of Central American subjectivities in a Latina/o US imaginary.

    Full Text Available El año 1967 es prolífico en efemérides para la cultura colombiana al celebrar fechas centenarias: el natalicio de egregios varones: Carlos Arturo Torres y Carlos E. Restrepo, quienes en diferente forma contribuyeron a cimentar el concepto y la vida democrática de la República; Ricardo Acevedo Bernal quien interpretó en el lienzo con perfección a nuestros próceres de la Independencia y fue émulo de Gregorio Vásquez Arce y Ceballos en la pintura religiosa; Julio Flórez, el bardo dilecto del pueblo; la aparición de la novela de Isaacs que encarnó el sentimiento literario y amoroso de varias generaciones románticas. En el campo científico, aparentemente modesto, pero trascendental para el progreso del país, celebramos el centenario de la reaparición de la Universidad Nacional y con ella, el de su Facultad de Medicina, tan íntimamente ligada a nuestra Academia Nacional de Medicina, pues ambas tuvieron en sus orígenes los mismos fundadores, aun cuando en épocas diferentes, y pre-existieron durante algunos años como instituciones privadas, antes de su incorporación o reconocimiento oficial.

  19. An Asymmetrical Network: National and International Dimensions of the Development of Mexican Physiology.

    2016-01-01

    This article examines the history of Mexican physiology during the period 1910-60 when two noted investigators, José J. Izquierdo, first, and Arturo Rosenblueth, second, inscribed their work into an international network of medical research. The network had at its center the laboratory of Walter B. Cannon at Harvard University. The Rockefeller Foundation was its main supporter. Rosenblueth was quite familiar with the network because he worked with Cannon at Harvard for over ten years before returning to Mexico in the early 1940s. Izquierdo and Rosenblueth developed different strategies to face adverse conditions such as insufficient laboratory equipment, inadequate library resources, a small scientific community, and ephemeral political support. Both acquired local influence and international prestige, but the sources of financial and academic power remained in the United States. This case study provides insight into the circulation of scientific ideas and practices in an important Latin American country and suggests that the world's circulation of science among industrial and developing nations during the mid-twentieth century was intrinsically asymmetric but opened temporary opportunities for talented individuals and groups of researchers. © The Author 2015.

We explored global and regional brain volumes in a cross-sectional and follow-up study on adolescents affected by AN. Eleven adolescents with AN underwent a voxel-based morphometry study at time of diagnosis and immediately after weight recovery. Data were compared to volumes carried out in eight healthy, age and sex matched controls. Subjects with AN showed increased cerebrospinal fluid volumes and decreased white and gray matter volumes, when compared to controls. Moreover, significant regional gray matter decrease in insular cortex and cerebellum was found at time of diagnosis. No regional white matter decrease was found between samples and controls. Correlations between psychological evaluation and insular volumes were explored. After weight recovery gray matter volumes normalized while reduced global white matter volumes persisted.

    2011-12-01

    Full Text Available This essay studies cultural representations of Puerto Rico’s economic boom and 1952 shift in legal status to the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. It suggests that apprehending these events requires the reframing of Puerto Rican migration as global phenomena. Drawing on the historical and cultural scholarship on Puerto Rican migration, Operation Bootstrap, and US empire, Tolentino analyzes the famous musical film West Side Story (1961, but also the Hollywood film Sabrina (1954 and Island productions El Otro Camino (The Other Road, 1955 and Maruja (1958. In contrast to prevailing views, she interprets these films as narratives about migration and modernization that engage the discourse of sentimental modernization, the figure of the jíbaro, and the idea of small town Puerto Rico. In so doing, they reveal the global vision at the center of the Operation Bootstrap development plan and Commonwealth formation. The concluding section suggests how the films take up issues in Puerto Rico’s historiography. Rather than merely illuminating a forgotten historical period of 1950s Puerto Rico, the 1950s films negotiate Puerto Rico’s geographical, political, and cultural locations by rethinking institutionalized meanings of 1898 in discourses of Puerto Rico historiography and US empire. Proposing new ways of interpreting the introduction of the Commonwealth in 1952 makes possible the revision of dominant conceptions of 1898 rooted in nation, government, and constitutional law.

  3. Changes in brain entropy are related to abstract temporal topology. Comment on "Topodynamics of metastable brains" by Arturo Tozzi et al.

    Çankaya, Mehmet Niyazi; Déli, Eva

    2017-07-01

    It is a great aspiration to consider biological systems, especially the notoriously unpredictable brain, with mathematical tools, because of their reliable predictive power. The classic idea that the brain can be compartmentalized into operational modules, such as vision, movement, emotions or consciousness has come up empty. A new surge of publications sets out the mathematical analysis of this highly integrated, complex and self-regulating system. For example, the resting brain's recurring electromagnetic activities form a highly reproducible harmonic function [1], which permits the use of matrix formulation, borrowed from quantum mechanics, to assess the probabilities of measurable properties, or ;observables;. It has also been suggested that resting state electric activities might take the form of a hypersphere [2], and even the particle-like formalism of the self-regulatory nature of consciousness has even been proposed [3]. The 'TOPODYNAMICS OF METASTABLE BRAINS' by Tozzi et al. [4] is part of the growing wave of publications that seeks to explain the brain's global dynamics within a physical framework. This fast growing literature has uncovered that the oscillatory networks of local electromagnetic potential differences, which are highly responsive to the environment, formulate according to non-classical principles and can be best modeled by the mathematical framework of dynamic and complex physical systems. However, the ability to connect the oscillatory dynamics of the brain to the global cognitive processes of the mind has been difficult. The TOPODYNAMICS OF METASTABLE BRAINS is a pioneering attempt to approach these seemingly disparate areas and bridge their conceptual, methodological divide. Specifically, topodynamics examines how the changing electric signals of the brain form an abstract topology during evoked and resting potential, and give rise to cognitive processes. For example, rapid transitional periods intercept the stable, operational modules of the brain's electric activities that parallel changes in thoughts or evolution of concepts. Within the framework of operational architectonics, Tozzi et al. applied the methods of the Bursuk-Ulam theorem (BUT) to uncover the detailed dynamics of brain activities, such as dimensionality, entropy changes, and information accumulation. The authors find that ripples of rapid transitional periods, with sudden changes and reorganization of the information and entropy, parallels shifts both in dimensionality of temporal dynamics, as well as in cognitive processes. The method therefore can uncover how entropic and dimensionality changes are interconnected with emerging mental concepts. It also highlights the differences between lower conceptual processes, such as sensory processing, and higher cognitive synthesis, such as semantics, for example. In physical systems, information, dimensionality and entropy are related according to well-established formulas. In this direction, the entropy values of the volume and surface area are added into the evaluation of brain functionings [5-7]. If the same relationship is true in the wet and constantly changing biological complexity of the brain, then it would give us predictive capability toward the understanding of cognition, aid the treatment of mental problems and diseases in psychiatry and psychology, and facilitate the design of a new generation of artificial intelligent machines.

  4. Comunidad y desarrollo en los Andes Peruanos: una crítica etnográfica al programa de modernidad/colonialidad

    2013-08-01

    Full Text Available En las últimas décadas la desconstrucción del desarrollo, conocida como el 'postdesarrollismo', ha cobrado gran auge en las ciencias sociales. En Latino-américa el programa teórico denominado modernidad/colonialidad/descolonialidad (MCD se propone descolonizar el pensamiento moderno re-escribiendo la historia global a partir de la experiencia colonial. Arturo Escobar, uno de los mayores teóricos del paradigma postdevelopmentalista se apoya en el proyecto MCD para pensar 'alternativas a la modernidad'(o transmodernidad. En este artículo propongo someter la perspectiva postdesarrollista y el proyecto MCD a un test etnográfico. Para eso me centro en las visiones y experiencias de Usibamba, una comunidad en los Andes Centrales Peruanos. La etnografía gira alrededor de la siguiente pregunta: ¿porqué los usibambinos, a pesar de todas sus experiencias negativas con el aparato del desarrollo, insisten en reivindicar la promesa del desarrollo? El programa de MCD nos permite entender el impasse de la comunidad en Usibamba? ¿Conceptos como pluriverso y transmodernidad nos permiten entender los deseos y aspiraciones de los usibambinos? Para responder a estas preguntas me apoyo en un análisis Žižekian que distingue entre 'lo actual', 'lo virtual', y lo 'Real'de la comunidad.

    2003-01-01

    This study proposes to obtain information about the behavior of the frequency and distribution of radiation induced lymphocyte dicentric chromosome aberrations with therapeutic doses in women with breast cancer treated only with radiotherapy, about which there are no existing works in Chile. Blood samples were taken from 6 women volunteers included in the study, with their informed consent, treated in the Fundacion Arturo Lopez Perez, aged 24 to 65 years old, without prior or parallel chemotherapy, nor prior radiotherapy. Three peripheral blood samples were taken from each patient in 0, 16.2 and 43.2 Gy doses. The lymphocytes obtained from each sample were cultivated using the micro-culture technique following the protocol in IAEA Technical Report No. 405, 2001. The samples were evaluated under a microscope and the unstable chromosome aberrations for lymphocytes were counted. A total of 500 cells per sample was evaluated in most cases, which were distributed depending on the number of aberrations that they had. The results were analyzed by treatment dose for each of the study patients, using the Papworth u test, Dolphin's 'Contaminated Poisson' method and Sasaki's 'QDR'. Great variations were observed in the frequency distribution of aberrations among the patients studied, which could be due to the influence of factors related to the patients' partial irradiations (C.Wood)

    Although fire was arguably the primary tool used by the Maya to alter the landscape and extract resources, little attention has been paid to biomass burning in paleoenvironmental reconstructions from the Maya lowlands. Here we report two new well-dated, high-resolution records of biomass burning based on analysis of macroscopic fossil charcoal recovered from lacustrine sediment cores. The records extend from the early Holocene, through the full arc of Maya prehistory, the Colonial, and post-Colonial periods (~ 9000 cal yr BP to the present). (Hereafter BP) The study sites, Lago Paixban and Lago Puerto Arturo, are located in northern Peten, Guatemala. Results provide the first quantitative analysis from the region demonstrating that frequent fires have occurred in the closed canopy forests since at least the early Holocene (~ 9000 BP), prior to occupation by sedentary agriculturalists. Following the arrival of agriculture around 4600 BP, the system transitioned from climate controlled to anthropogenic control. During the Maya period, changes in fire regime are muted and do not appear to be driven by changes in climate conditions. Low charcoal influx and fire frequency in the Earliest Preclassic period suggest that land use strategies may have included intensive agriculture much earlier than previously thought. Preliminary results showing concentrations of soot/black-carbon during the middle and late Preclassic periods are lower than modern background values, providing intriguing implications regarding the efficiency of Maya fuel consumption.

    Full Text Available Mysticism has not always gone through the same road nor in the same sense.In some works of literature it is presented as an inverted mysticism. In the story“Rito”, by Juan García Ponce, a mystical process is performed traversing theways of evil. Commencing with the nakedness of a Young beautiful woman’s body, the eroticism and the sexual act, it is intendend that the Spirit of Divinity manifests itself. In this story the transgression and perversion of the socialnorms of behavior within marriage is present. The characters in the story, Lilianaand Arturo are spouses. However, they like to practice a ritual in whichthey invite to dinner an unknown individual. The purpose is to put into practicethe “laws of hospitality” that the French writer Pierre Klossowski proposed in his novels Roberte tonight and Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. In the secularlevel, the husband, as master of the house, must access the mystical level of Host; in turn, the Mistress of the house, as wife, must access the mystical levelof Hostess. Thus, the husband must offer his wife to the guest, as the unknownThird. The husband, as Host, contemplates his wife’s sexual act with the guest:she is the hostess; and the unknown Third functions as the angelic element thatconnects the profane to the sacred. In the sexual act and in the nakedness of the beautiful woman’s body is manifest the Spirit of Divinity.

This study was conducted to better understand the extent and manner in which Indian clinics seek foreign clients.Methods: A systematic search of official Indian assisted reproduction technologies clinic Websites was undertaken, and instances noted where foreign clients were overtly targeted, and where maternal surrogacy was overtly offered.Results: A total of 159 clinics with Web addresses were identified, though only 78 had functioning Websites. All were published in English, with the majority clustered in the states of Maharashtra (14 and Gujarat (9. Of the 78 functioning Websites, 53 (68% featured some mention of maternal surrogacy services, and 42 (54% made overt overtures to foreign clients. Qualitative appeals to foreigners included instructions for international adoption, visa application, and the legal parental disposition of the surrogate. All Maharashtran clinic Websites that mentioned surrogacy also overtly featured reproductive tourism. Preimplantation diagnosis services were not offered disproportionately by clinics mentioning reproductive tourism.Conclusions: Based upon clinic online profiles, reproductive tourism comprises a substantial fraction of India’s assisted reproduction technologies clinics’ business focus, clustering around its most tourist-friendly locales, and surrogacy may be a strong motivator for international clientele.Keywords: assisted reproduction, global health, social media, marketing, development, IVF, surrogacy, PGD

    Twitter is the most popular form of microblogging that is being utilized in public health to engage audiences and to communicate health-related information. Although there is some research showing the various forms of Twitter use in public health, little is known about how individual public health professionals are using their personal Twitter accounts to disseminate health information. The purpose of this research was to categorize public health professionals' tweets to evaluate how individual public health professionals are furthering the mission of public health. Twitter accounts held by public health professionals were identified, and researchers proceeded to record 6 months' worth of each individual's Twitter feed. During the 6-month period, a total of 15,236 tweets were collected and analyzed using the constant comparison method. A total of 23 tweet categories among the 15,236 tweets were initially identified. Some of the most common topics among the 23 categories included the following: health nutrition (n=2008), conferences (n=815), Ebola (n=789), Affordable Care Act (ACA)/health care (n=627), and social justice (n=626). Each of these categories were then stratified into one of four themes: (1) informing and educating, (2) monitoring health statuses and trends, (3) social justice, and (4) professional development. Using Twitter, public health professionals are helping dispel misinformation through education and by translating technical research into lay terms, advocating for health inequalities, and using it as a means to promote professional development. ©Mark Hart, Nichole Stetten, Sabrina Islam, Katherine Pizarro.

    Full Text Available In this work 2124 aluminium matrix composites reinforced with Ni3Al, NiAl, MoSiO2 and Cr3Si intermetallic powder particles have been investigated. For comparision purposes, unreinforced 2124 and reinforced with SiC have also been studied. In all cases, the same powder metallurgy route was used, i.e. the 2124 alloy was obtained by rapid solidification and the intermetallic particles by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS. The matrix and the intermetallics were mechanically blended, cold compacted and finally hot extruded. Tensile tests were carried out in T1 and T4 treatments. Results indicate that mechanical properties depend strongly on the tendence to form new phases at the matrixintermetallic interface during procesing and/or futher thermal treatments. The materials which present better properties are those that present less reaction between matrix and intermetallic reinforcement, i.e. MoSiO2 and SiC reinforced composites.

    Full Text Available Lisa M Lundquist1, Sabrina W Cole2, Jill M Augustine11Mercer University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, Atlanta, GA, 2Wingate University School of Pharmacy, Wingate, NC, USAAbstract: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, progressive, autoimmune disease that leads to significant disability and premature mortality. Various treatment options are available, but the foundation of treatment includes nonbiologic and biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. The incidence of patients with rheumatoid arthritis refractory to first-line agents is estimated to be at least 20%. Abatacept, a T cell costimulation modulator, is the first agent to interfere with full T cell activation by competing with CD28 for binding of CD80 and CD86, which results in decreased secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and autoantibody production. Current American College of Rheumatology treatment guidelines recommend abatacept for patients with at least moderate disease activity and a poor prognosis demonstrating an inadequate response to other agents. Several key Phase III trials have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of abatacept in patients with an inadequate response to methotrexate or anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha therapy. Response rates in all trials showed statistically significant improvements compared with placebo according to American College of Rheumatology criteria for disease improvement. The most common adverse event report in patients receiving abatacept was infection; however, the frequency of adverse events was similar to placebo. Abatacept is a safe and effective rheumatoid arthritis treatment for patients with an inadequate response to methotrexate or anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha therapy.Keywords: abatacept, rheumatoid arthritis, treatment refractory, biologic, disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs

    The use of social networking sites is increasingly being adopted in public health, in part, because of the barriers to funding and reduced resources. Public health professionals are using social media platforms, specifically Twitter, as a way to facilitate professional development. The objective of this study was to identify public health professionals using Twitter and to analyze how they use this platform to enhance their formal and informal professional development within the context of public health. Keyword searches were conducted to identify and invite potential participants to complete a survey related to their use of Twitter for public health and professional experiences. Data regarding demographic attributes, Twitter usage, and qualitative information were obtained through an anonymous Web-based survey. Open-response survey questions were analyzed using the constant comparison method. "Using Twitter makes it easier to expand my networking opportunities" and "I find Twitter useful for professional development" scored highest, with a mean score of 4.57 (standard deviation [SD] 0.74) and 4.43 (SD 0.76) on a 5-point Likert scale. Analysis of the qualitative data shows the emergence of the following themes for why public health professionals mostly use Twitter: (1) geography, (2) continuing education, (3) professional gain, and (4) communication. For public health professionals in this study, Twitter is a platform best used for their networking and professional development. Furthermore, the use of Twitter allows public health professionals to overcome a series of barriers and enhances opportunities for growth. ©Mark Hart, Nichole E Stetten, Sabrina Islam, Katherine Pizarro.

Eighteen participants (56% were women and fourteen participants (44% were men (15 insulin nonusers and 17 insulin users. Two focus groups of 4 participants each and 9 individual interviews were conducted in Brazil. In Canada, 2 focus groups of 4 participants each and 7 individual interviews were conducted. A framework analysis was used to analyse all data.Results: Brazilian participants, when considering two insulin treatments, would prefer the one that had fewer side-effects (specially hypoglycemia events, was noninjectable, had the lowest cost and was most effective. Meanwhile, Canadian participants would prefer a treatment that had fewer side-effects (specially weight gain, was less invasive, was more convenient and was most effective.Conclusions: Finding the insulin-delivery system and the attributes of insulin therapy that best meet patients’ preferences may lead to improved control, through improved compliance, which may ultimately reduce the financial burden of the disease and improve quality of life.Keywords: type 2 diabetes, insulin administration, glycemic control, weight gain, hypoglycemia, qualitative study, patients’ preferences

    Full Text Available Muchos estudios destacan que los puertorriqueños no encajan en la definición racial americana de "negro o blanco", y que debido a esta "singularidad" la experiencia racial puertorriqueña se debe medir de manera diferente. Este trabajo evalúa las actividades de puertorriqueños negros que llegaron y establecieron en Nueva York y quienes a pesar de enfrentar problemas de adaptación, racismo y pobreza persistente, forjaron una identidad la cual resuena con la experiencia y perspectiva de Arturo Schomburg, quien como puertorriqueño negro fue uno de los pioneros de la tradición afrocéntrica. Como historiadora en este artículo reviso la vida y obra de Schomburg y examino su gesta sobre el papel central de África y sus descendientes en la historia del mundo. También reviso la filosofía del historiador surafricano C. Tsehloane Keto, quien postula la centralidad de la historia de África en la interpretación de la experiencia de las personas de ascendencia africana en los Estados Unidos y en todo el mundo. Enmarcado en el contexto del trabajo de Keto y de Schomburg recalco que el proceso de la construcción de la identidad nacionalista cultural puertorriqueña en la ciudad de Nueva York demuestra un aspecto de la identidad "Nuyorican" la cual se caracteriza por una corriente afro-céntrica que va a la par con el movimiento negro afroamericano.

    No other figure was able to organize and catalyze the seminal interest of space exploration in Argentina more than Teófilo Tabanera. Born in 1909, Tabanera showed an early interest in the possibilities of space travel and dedicated most of his life to popularize it in his country. He created the Sociedad Argentina Interplanetaria (1949), which was the first space enthusiast's organization in Latin America. Present in the first meeting of representatives of various space societies, which led to the creation of the International Astronautical Federation, Tabanera was able to bring his enthusiasm to this new organization. A prolific writer, Tabanera wrote the first books about space exploration in Spanish, and organized many courses and conferences on the subject. When the Comisión Nacional de Investigaciones Espaciales (the Argentine Space Agency) was created in 1960 by a decree of President Arturo Frondizi, Tabanera was appointed as its first administrator. There, with meager funds, he organized launch campaigns and international projects on sounding rockets. Thanks to his knowledge of the international space sector, Tabanera invited many experts to Argentina, among them Wernher von Braun and even the Apollo XI crew, just a few months after their return from the Moon. He continued his activities in the IAF (International Astronautical Federation) serving as vice president for seven terms, and was a cofounder of the International Academy of Astronautics (I.A.A.). His many contributions, both to the Argentine and international space sector, are a testimony to his undying enthusiasm and interest in space as a way of advancing humankind.

    Rijeka inscribed herself on the list of great European emigration ports like Hamburg, Bremen, Liverpool in the end of the year 1903 when a ship of the British Cunard Line established a travel line from Rijeka to New York. Up to the year 1914, 317639 passengers - emigrants travelled to America from the port of Rijeka. The large flow of people caused problems for the city, for that reason, already in 1906 did the Hungarian ministry of home affairs started the construction of a grandiose building intended for the emigrants. When it was opened in 1908 it was named Hotel Emigrants and had a capacity of 2500 guests. The name Hotel was given to him because of the highest construction and sanitary standards applied during his construction, but also because of comfort provided for the emigrants, large bright dormitories, living rooms, one big and spacious terrace and a number of smaller ones indicated more to a touristic hotel than to a house for emigrants. Health surveillance of emigrants was performed by Dr. David Friedman, Dr. Arturo Jellouscheg and Dr. Emil Tauffer. They were in charge in front of the Maritime Gubernia in Rijeka, the U.S. consulate in Rijeka and the Adria Maritime Society. Although the city authorities and the Hungarian authorities boasted of the hotel and the rigid medical control over immigrants which was done there, American authorities have still often returned some emigrants, at the expense of the company, after inspection at Ellis Island revealing that before landing some individuals are sick.

    Continuous atmospheric CO2 monitoring data indicate enhanced seasonal exchange in the high-latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere (above 40oN), mainly attributed to terrestrial ecosystems. Whether this enhancement is mostly explained by increased vegetation growth due to CO2 fertilization and warming, or by changes in land-use and land-management practices is still an unsettled question (e.g. Forkel et al. (2016) and Zeng et al. (2013)). Previous studies have shown that models present variable performance in capturing trends in CO2 amplitude at CO2 monitoring sites, and that Earth System Models present large spread in their estimates of such trends. Here we integrate data of atmospheric CO2 exchange in terrestrial ecosystems by a set of atmospheric CO2 inversions and a range of land-surface models to evaluate the ability of models to reproduce changes in CO2 seasonal exchange within the observation uncertainty. We then analyze the factors that explain the model spread to understand if the trend in seasonal CO2 amplitude may indeed be a useful metric to constrain future changes in terrestrial photosynthesis (Wenzel et al., 2016). We then compare model simulations with satellite and other observation-based datasets of vegetation productivity, biomass stocks and land-cover change to test the contribution of natural (CO2 fertilization, climate) and human (land-use change) factors to the increasing trend in seasonal CO2 amplitude.

Keywords initially included “drug lists,” “prior authorization,” “prior approval,” and “Medicaid.” We added terms such as “influence use of other healthcare services,” “quality of care,” and “overall economic impact.” We mainly used primary sources.Results: Based on our literature review, we determined that there are a number of issues regarding Medicaid PDLs that need to be addressed. Some issues include: (a the potential for PDLs to influence the utilization of other healthcare services, (b criteria used by Medicaid for determining acceptance of drugs onto a PDL, (c the effect of PDL implementation on compliance to new regimens, (d the potential effects of restricting medication availability on quality of care, (e administrative costs associated with PDLs, and (f satisfaction rates among patients and medical providers. This review highlighted expected short-term cost savings with limited degree of compromised quality of PDL implementation, but raised the concern about the potential long-term decline in quality of care and overall economic impact.Conclusions: The number of concerns raised indicates that further studies are warranted regarding both short-term cost benefits as well as potential long-term effects of Medicaid PDL implementation.

Its main complications are cirrhosis and liver cancer. According to the World Health Organization (WHO, more than 185 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis C virus and, of these, 350,000 die every year. Due to the high disease prevalence and the existence of effective (and expensive medical treatments able to dramatically change the prognosis, early detection programs can potentially prevent the development of serious chronic conditions, improve health, and save resources. Objective: To summarize the available evidence on the cost-effectiveness of screening programs for hepatitis C. Methods: A literature search was performed on PubMed and Scopus search engines. Trip database was queried to identify reports produced by the major Health Technology Assessment (HTA agencies. Three reviewers dealt with study selection and data extraction blindly. Results: Ten papers eventually met the inclusion criteria. In studies focusing on asymptomatic cohorts of individuals at general risk the cost/quality adjusted life year of screening programs ranged between US $4,200 and $50,000/quality adjusted life year gained, while in those focusing on specific risk factors the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio ranged between $848 and $128,424/quality adjusted life year gained. Age of the target population and disease prevalence were the main cost-effectiveness drivers. Conclusion: Our results suggest that, especially in the long run, screening programs represent a cost-effective strategy for the management of hepatitis C. Keywords: hepatitis C, screening

    Full Text Available Sabrina Puckett, Rajesh Pareta, Thomas J WebsterDivision of Engineering, Brown University, Providence, RI, USAAbstract: Previous studies have demonstrated greater functions of osteoblasts (bone-forming cells on nanophase compared with conventional metals. Nanophase metals possess a biologically inspired nanostructured surface that mimics the dimensions of constituent components in bone, including collagen and hydroxyapatite. Not only do these components possess dimensions on the nanoscale, they are aligned in a parallel manner creating a defined orientation in bone. To date, research has yet to evaluate the effect that organized nanosurface features can have on the interaction of osteoblasts with material surfaces. Therefore, to determine if surface orientation of features can mediate osteoblast adhesion and morphology, this study investigated osteoblast function on patterned titanium substrates containing alternating regions of micron rough and nano rough surfaces prepared by novel electron beam evaporation techniques. This study was also interested in determining whether or not the size of the patterned regions had an effect on osteoblast behavior and alignment. Results indicated early controlled osteoblast alignment on these patterned materials as well as greater osteoblast adhesion on the nano rough regions of these patterned substrates. Interestingly, decreasing the width of the nano rough regions (from 80 µm to 22 µm on these patterned substrates resulted in a decreased number of osteoblasts adhering to these areas. Changes in the width of the nano rough regions also resulted in changes in osteoblast morphology, thus, suggesting there is an optimal pattern dimension that osteoblasts prefer. In summary, results of this study provided evidence that aligned nanophase metal features on the surface of titanium improved early osteoblast functions (morphology and adhesion promising for their long term functions, criteria necessary to improve

HCC is usually asymptomatic at potential curative stages, and it has very poor prognosis if detected later. Thus, the identification of early biomarkers and novel therapies is essential to improve HCC patient survival. Ion channels have been proposed as potential tumor markers and therapeutic targets for several cancers including HCC. Especially, the ether à-go-go-1 (Eag1 voltage-gated potassium channel has been suggested as an early marker for HCC. Eag1 is overexpressed during HCC development from the cirrhotic and the preneoplastic lesions preceding HCC in a rat model. The channel is also overexpressed in human HCC. Astemizole has gained great interest as a potential anticancer drug because it targets several proteins involved in cancer including Eag1. Actually, in vivo studies have shown that astemizole may have clinical utility for HCC prevention and treatment. Here, we will review first some general aspects of HCC including the current biomarkers and therapies, and then we will focus on Eag1 channels as promising tools in the early diagnosis of HCC.

Monaldi, Naples, Italy Abstract: The increasing number of opioid users among chronic pain patients, and opioid abusers among the general population, makes perioperative pain management challenging for health care professionals. Anesthesiologists, surgeons, and nurses should be familiar with some pharmacological phenomena which are typical of opioid users and abusers, such as tolerance, physical dependence, hyperalgesia, and addiction. Inadequate pain management is very common in these patients, due to common prejudices and fears. The target of preoperative evaluation is to identify comorbidities and risk factors and recognize signs and symptoms of opioid abuse and opioid withdrawal. Clinicians are encouraged to plan perioperative pain medications and to refer these patients to psychiatrists and addiction specialists for their evaluation. The aim of this review was to give practical suggestions for perioperative management of surgical opioid-tolerant patients, together with schemes of opioid conversion for chronic pain patients assuming oral or transdermal opioids, and

The meeting had a distinct advisory board character and invited aesthetic practitioners from all over the world to hear an international faculty present a range of keynote lectures and conduct live injection sessions with an emphasis on recent developments in combination aesthetic interventions for face and body rejuvenation and beautification. Aging is associated with changes in bones, muscles, ligaments, adipose tissue, and skin and, moreover, involves interactions among these tissue types. To achieve the most natural and harmonious rejuvenation of the face, all changes that result from the aging process should be corrected, which generally involves treatment with more than a single agent or technology. Presentations described innovative treatment algorithms for the face and body and focused on patients’ desires for natural-looking rejuvenation and how this requires a three-dimensional approach combining products that relax the musculature, volumize, and re-drape the skin. Besides treating the aging face, these procedures are increasingly used to enhance facial features as well as to delay facial aging in younger patients. The presentations covered patients from different ethnicities as well as the treatment of non-facial areas, with a particular focus on the use of Ultherapy® for skin lifting and tightening, and new aesthetic

Given their role, it is important to examine their prescription pattern and inappropriate use of medication. Methods: These cross-sectional study data were collected through surveys of patients seen by village doctors during 2008 and 2010 at Chakaria, a typical rural area of Bangladesh. Categorization of appropriate, inappropriate, and harmful prescriptions by disease conditions was based on guidelines defined by the World Health Organization (WHO, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF, and the Government of Bangladesh. Analytical categorization of polypharmacy was defined when five or more medications were prescribed for a patient at a single visit. Findings: A total of 2,587 prescriptions were written by village doctors during the survey periods. Among the prescriptions were appropriate (10%, inappropriate (8%, combination of appropriate and inappropriate (63%, and harmful medications (19%. Village doctors with more than high school education were 53% less likely (odds ratio [OR]: 0.47, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.86 to give polypharmacy prescriptions than those with less than high school education. While exploring determinants of prescribing inappropriate and harmful medications, this study found that polypharmacy prescriptions were six times more likely [OR: 6.00, 95% CI: 3.88–9.29] to have harmful medications than prescriptions with <5 medications.

    Background Rituximab is a standard treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The SABRINA trial (NCT01200758) showed that a subcutaneous (SC) rituximab formulation did not compromise efficacy or safety compared with intravenous (IV) infusion. We aimed to quantify active healthcare professional (HCP) time and patient chair time for rituximab SC and IV, including potential time savings. Methods This non-interventional time and motion study was run in eight countries and 30 day oncology units. Rituximab SC data were collected alongside the MabCute trial (NCT01461928); IV data were collected per routine real-world practice. Trained observers recorded active HCP time for pre-specified tasks (stopwatch) and chair time (time of day). A random intercept model was used to analyze active HCP time (by task and for all tasks combined) in the treatment room and drug preparation area, drug administration duration, chair time and patient treatment room time by country and/or across countries. Active HCP and chair time were extrapolated to a patient’s first year of treatment (11 rituximab sessions). Results Mean active HCP time was 35.0 and 23.7 minutes for IV and SC process, respectively (-32%, p time was 27–58%. Absolute reduction in extrapolated active HCP time (first year of treatment) was 1.1–5.2 hours. Mean chair time was 262.1 minutes for IV, including 180.9 minutes infusion duration, vs. 67.3 minutes for SC, including 8.3 minutes SC injection administration (-74%, p time for the first year of treatment was 3.1–5.5 eight-hour days. Conclusions Compared with rituximab IV, rituximab SC was associated with reduced chair time and active HCP time. The latter could be invested in other activities, whereas the former may lead to more available appointments, reducing waiting lists and increasing the efficiency of day oncology units.

    Full Text Available BACKGROUND: The purpose of the study is to elucidate the sequence composition of the short arm of rye chromosome 1 (Secale cereale with special focus on its gene content, because this portion of the rye genome is an integrated part of several hundreds of bread wheat varieties worldwide. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Multiple Displacement Amplification of 1RS DNA, obtained from flow sorted 1RS chromosomes, using 1RS ditelosomic wheat-rye addition line, and subsequent Roche 454FLX sequencing of this DNA yielded 195,313,589 bp sequence information. This quantity of sequence information resulted in 0.43× sequence coverage of the 1RS chromosome arm, permitting the identification of genes with estimated probability of 95%. A detailed analysis revealed that more than 5% of the 1RS sequence consisted of gene space, identifying at least 3,121 gene loci representing 1,882 different gene functions. Repetitive elements comprised about 72% of the 1RS sequence, Gypsy/Sabrina (13.3% being the most abundant. More than four thousand simple sequence repeat (SSR sites mostly located in gene related sequence reads were identified for possible marker development. The existence of chloroplast insertions in 1RS has been verified by identifying chimeric chloroplast-genomic sequence reads. Synteny analysis of 1RS to the full genomes of Oryza sativa and Brachypodium distachyon revealed that about half of the genes of 1RS correspond to the distal end of the short arm of rice chromosome 5 and the proximal region of the long arm of Brachypodium distachyon chromosome 2. Comparison of the gene content of 1RS to 1HS barley chromosome arm revealed high conservation of genes related to chromosome 5 of rice. CONCLUSIONS: The present study revealed the gene content and potential gene functions on this chromosome arm and demonstrated numerous sequence elements like SSRs and gene-related sequences, which can be utilised for future research as well as in breeding of wheat and rye.

The present study aimed to examine the role of the Wnt–β-catenin pathway in experimental MS and also to test moringin (4-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyloxy]-benzyl isothiocyanate, resulting from exogenous myrosinase hydrolysis of the natural phytochemical glucomoringin 4(α-L-rhamnosyloxy-benzyl glucosinolate as a modulator of neuroinflammation via the β-catenin–PPARγ axis. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE, the most common model of MS, was induced in C57BL/6 mice by immunization with MOG35–55. Released moringin (10 mg/kg glucomoringin +5 µL myrosinase/mouse was administered daily for 1 week before EAE induction and continued until mice were killed on day 28 after EAE induction. Our results clearly showed that the Wnt–β-catenin pathway was downregulated in the EAE model, whereas moringin pretreatment was able to avert this. Moringin pretreatment normalizes the aberrant Wnt–β-catenin pathway, resulting in GSK3β inhibition and β-catenin upregulation, which regulates T-cell activation (CD4 and FoxP3, suppresses the main inflammatory mediators (IL-1β, IL-6, and COX2, through activation of PPARγ. In addition, moringin attenuates apoptosis by reducing the expression of the Fas ligand and cleaved caspase 9, and in parallel increases antioxidant Nrf2 expression in EAE mice. Taken together, our results provide an interesting discovery in identifying moringin as a modulator of the Wnt–β-catenin signaling cascade and as a new potential therapeutic target for MS treatment.

    Here we present and analyse satellite gravity gradient signatures derived from GOCE and superimpose these on tectonic and bedrock topography elements, as well as seismically-derived estimates of crustal thickness for the Antarctic continent. The GIU satellite gravity component images the contrast between the thinner crust and lithosphere underlying the West Antarctic Rift System and the Weddell Sea Rift System and the thicker lithosphere of East Antarctica. The new images also suggest that more distributed wide-mode lithospheric and crustal extension affects both the Ross Sea Embayment and the less well known Ross Ice Shelf segment of the rift system. However, this pattern is less clear towards the Bellingshousen Embayment, indicating that the rift system narrows towards the southern edge of the Antarctic Peninsula. In East Antarctica, the satellite gravity data provides new views into the Archean to Mesoproterozoic Terre Adelie Craton, and clearly shows the contrast wrt to the crust and lithosphere underlying both the Wilkes Subglacial Basin to the east and the Sabrina Subglacial Basin to the west. This finding augments recent interpretations of aeromagnetic and airborne gravity data over the region, suggesting that the Mawson Continent is a composite lithospheric-scale entity, which was affected by several Paleoproterozoic and Mesoproterozoic orogenic events. Thick crust is imaged beneath the Transantarctic Mountains, the Terre Adelie Craton, the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains and also Eastern Dronning Maud Land, in particular beneath the recently proposed region of the Tonian Oceanic Arc Superterrane. The GIA and GIU components help delineate the edges of several of these lithospheric provinces. One of the most prominent lithospheric-scale features discovered in East Antarctica from satellite gravity gradient imaging is the Trans East Antarctic Shear Zone that separates the Gamburtsev Province from the Eastern Dronning Maud Land Province and appears to form the

    Full Text Available El bazo es un órgano linfoide secundario. Dentro de sus funciones encontramos la formación de anticuerpos de clase IgM e IgG, fundamentalmente, y la fagocitosis de bacterias encapsuladas. Nos propusimos mensurar las dimensiones del bazo en niños con infecciones recurrentes, con el propósito de describirlas como marcador diagnóstico y explorar la probable relación existente entre las características tímicas y las dimensiones del bazo. Se estudiaron 81 pacientes que acudieron a la consulta de inmunología del hospital materno infantil "Dr. Ángel Arturo Aballí Arellano" por infecciones recurrentes, en las edades entre 8 meses y 9 años. Se excluyeron todos los niños con valor nutricional menor del tercer percentil, los que habían consumido esteroides en los 45 días anteriores, así como diversas enfermedades agudas y crónicas que cursan con aumento o disminución del volumen del bazo. Las áreas tímica y esplénica fueron medidas por ecografía mediastinal y abdominal. La longitud, el índice esplénico y el peso fueron menores en los pacientes con infecciones recurrentes, siendo este hallazgo significativo para el grupo de 12 a 23 meses de edad. El peso y el índice esplénico fueron menores en niños con depleción del área tímica. Todo parece indicar que la evaluación sonográfica del bazo es muy importante en los pacientes comprendidos entre 1 y 2 años de edad y en aquellos que presentan depleción del área tímica, pacientes estos que por encontrarse en edades donde se administran las vacunas programadas en el Esquema Cubano de Inmunización y tener afectado un órgano central de la respuesta inmune podrían presentar una respuesta deficitaria y requerir esquemas especiales.

In this study, three biomaterials that are used in spinal implants – titanium (Ti, poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK, and silicon nitride (Si3N4 – were tested to understand their respective susceptibility to bacterial infection with Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphlococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and Enterococcus. Specifically, the surface chemistry, wettability, and nanostructured topography of respective biomaterials, and the effects on bacterial biofilm formation, colonization, and growth were investigated. Ti and PEEK were received with as-machined surfaces; both materials are hydrophobic, with net negative surface charges. Two surface finishes of Si3N4 were examined: as-fired and polished. In contrast to Ti and PEEK, the surface of Si3N4 is hydrophilic, with a net positive charge. A decreased biofilm formation was found, as well as fewer live bacteria on both the as-fired and polished Si3N4. These differences may reflect differential surface chemistry and surface nanostructure properties between the biomaterials tested. Because protein adsorption on material surfaces affects bacterial adhesion, the adsorption of fibronectin, vitronectin, and laminin on Ti, PEEK, and Si3N4 were also examined. Significantly greater amounts of these proteins adhered to Si3N4 than to Ti or PEEK. The findings of this study suggest that surface properties of biomaterials lead to differential adsorption of physiologic proteins, and that this

Cell polarity is a universal biological phenomenon that is implicated in cell differentiation, proliferation, morphogenesis, aging, and rejuvenation. In this work, we investigate a timing and administration protocol for tissue optimization regenerative treatment type C, in order to treat aging-related chondral damage or injuries and gain insights into regenerative processes of articular cartilage in humans. The chondral lesion produced in this study in an animal model (6 knee joints of 4 adult sheep was 6 mm in diameter and about 2 mm deep. These lesions, which did not involve subchondral bone, tend to increase in size and depth and are not completely repaired with normal hyaline articular cartilage since adult articular cartilage is avascular and has a very slow turnover at the cellular and molecular level. Moreover, the hydration of articular cartilage is reduced with aging and with decreased mitotic activity, synthesis, and population size of chondrocytes. Six months posttreatment, lesions appeared filled, though not completely, with newly generated tissue of the light opalescent color of healthy articular cartilage, which otherwise covered the underlying subchondral bone. The newly formed tissue surface appeared to be quite regular. Nearly complete regeneration of subchondral bone occurred, with

The key questions were as follows: 1 what effects are appropriate to expect, according to participants? and 2 to what extent did these effects occur? Methods: Two peer support intervention programs were conducted in a diabetes specialist clinic (N=30. A participatory and adaptable approach allowed flexibility in the content of peer support meetings, which were facilitated by a diabetes nurse. Individual interviews explored participants’ perception of effects of the intervention. Interview data were analyzed qualitatively. Participants (n=27 completed a baseline and postintervention questionnaire that included items assessing diabetes empowerment, diabetes distress, diabetes-specific social support, and diabetes loneliness. HbA1c levels were compared before and after the intervention. Results: Participants experienced enhanced diabetes-specific social capital, diabetes motivation, awareness of personal diabetes practices, and serenity and openness in life with diabetes. They also became more aware of treatment and support possibilities. Negative effects included feeling sad or upset after the meetings or feeling different than and not as well-controlled as other participants. Quantitative analyses showed enhanced social support, decreased eating distress and trends toward enhanced diabetes empowerment, decreased diabetes loneliness, and decreased diabetes distress (powerlessness.

Since specific neural circuits play an important role in maintaining ocular surface health, microelectrical stimulation of these pathways could present a promising new approach to treating DED. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of nasal electrical stimulation in patients with DED. Methods: This prospective, open-label, single-arm, nonrandomized pilot study included 40 patients with mild to severe DED. After undergoing two screening visits, enrolled subjects were provided with a nasal stimulation device and instructed to use it at home four times daily (or more often as needed. Follow-up assessments were conducted up to day 180. The primary efficacy endpoint was the difference between unstimulated and stimulated tear production quantified by Schirmer scores. Additional efficacy endpoints included change from baseline in corneal and conjunctival staining, symptoms evaluated on a Visual Analog Scale, and Ocular Surface Disease Index scores. Safety parameters included adverse event (AE rates, visual acuity, intraocular pressure, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy, and endoscopic nasal examinations. Results: Mean stimulated Schirmer scores were significantly higher than the unstimulated scores at all visits, and corneal and conjunctival staining and symptom scores from baseline to day 180 were significantly reduced. No serious device-related AEs and nine nonserious AEs (three device-related were reported. Intraocular pressure remained

    Full Text Available I am proposing an analysis of a novel by Alfredo Véra, Jr., The Silver Cloud Café (1996. As the author of a narrative trilogy that includes La Maravilla (1993, and Gods Go Begging (1999, Véa has produced, in The Silver Cloud Café , a novel that is central to the trilogy's interpretation. In my analysis, I discuss how Véa's novels question borders of the self—understood as ethnic or racial—through notions of a personal education (in La Maravilla , Alberto's; in The Silver Cloud Café , Zeferino's in which characters count on the pedagogical guidance of Yaqui shamans, manongs from the Philippine Islands, Mexican braceros , and, in Alberto's case, a Spanish grandmother. In terms of the challenges that Véa's novels make on the reader, I argue that such difficulties derive from fundamental notions that Véa embraces regarding the writer, the literary text, and the reader. Moreover, Véa questions minimalist tendencies in the United States that reduce persons to one racial or ethnic identity. As a historical novel, Silver Cloud turns into an archaeological site where the imperial histories of Spain and the United States are read as the narrative's intertextual memory. My analysis will be centered on the novel's rhetoric of memory and forgetfulness, and on its visionary impulse that—taken mostly from the Gnostics, American Transcendentalists, and modern Latin American novelists—one could read as a critique of America as well as the reclaiming of literary traditions that redefine the conventional limits of Chicano literature. These traditions extend to prophetic biblical texts, Augustine, Dante, and—among other literary figures—to modern Latin American writers, thus illuminating Véa's continued reflection on a world in decay and on the corresponding visions or revelations of its regeneration. Although present in Chicano literature in novels by Rudolfo, Anaya, Montserrat Fontes, Arturo Islas, and José Antonio Villarreal, this

A self-controlled pilot clinical trial (NCT01385332 was performed in an acute-care teaching hospital and in two private reproductive centers in Barcelona, Spain. Eleven egg donors participated in the study. Two random-start gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH antagonist protocols were assessed in which ganirelix was initiated on either day 10 (protocol B or on day 20 (protocol C of the menstrual cycle and was continued until estradiol levels were below 60 pg/dL. These protocols were compared with a standard protocol (protocol A. The main outcome of interest was the number of metaphase 2 oocytes retrieved. Results from this study show that the number of mature oocytes retrieved was comparable across the different protocols (14.3±4.6 in the standard protocol versus 13.0±9.1 and 13.2±5.2 in protocols B and C, respectively; values expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The mean number of days needed for a GnRH antagonist to lower estradiol levels, as well as the ongoing pregnancy rates, were also similar when protocols B (stimulation in follicular phase and C (stimulation on luteal phase were compared with protocol A (standard stimulation. GnRH antagonists can be effectively used for random-start controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with an ovarian response similar to that of standard protocols, and the antagonists appear suitable for emergency

Los pocos estudiantes, rara vez más de 10 por semestre, compartíamos sedes, laboratorios y profesores con grupos gigantescos de estudiantes de nutrición o bacteriología, y nuestras preguntas e intereses acerca de la zoología o la botánica tenían muy pocas respuestas. Serían los profesores Giovanni Iafrancesco y Arturo Luna, junto con Darío Galindo Toro, Zoólogo de la Universidad Nacional de Colombia, quienes nos iniciarían en las ciencias naturales y nos abrirían el mundo riguroso y formativo de las publicaciones científicas, dentro de las cuales por supuesto, primaba Caldasia. Recuerdo en particular haber cargado todo un semestre, fotocopiado como correspondía, anotado, manchado y arrugado hasta su destrucción final, el artículo de Henry von Prahl y Gustavo Manjarrés acerca de los “Cangrejos Gecarcínidos de Colombia” (#66 de 1984, fresquito para cuando ejercí de monitor del curso de invertebrados y descubrí que podía comprar cangrejos en las pescaderías del centro de Bogotá para hacer un excelente ejercicio de laboratorio, guiado por el texto clásico de Barnes y lo más reciente del inventario nacional del grupo, reportado en Caldasia.

However, these findings come from studies including active smokers, while results in ex-smokers are scarce and contradictory. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if frequent acute moderate exacerbations are associated with an accelerated decline in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1 and impairment of functional and clinical outcomes in ex-smoking COPD patients.Methods: A cohort of 100 ex-smoking patients recruited for a 2-year follow-up study was evaluated at inclusion and at 6-monthly scheduled visits while in a stable condition. Evaluation included anthropometry, spirometry, inspiratory capacity, peripheral capillary oxygen saturation, severity of dyspnea, a 6-minute walking test, BODE (Body mass index, airflow Obstruction, Dyspnea, Exercise performance index, and quality of life (St George’s Respiratory Questionnaire and Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire. Severity of exacerbation was graded as moderate or severe according to health care utilization. Patients were classified as infrequent exacerbators if they had no or one acute exacerbation/year and frequent exacerbators if they had two or more acute exacerbations/year. Random effects modeling, within hierarchical linear modeling, was used for analysis.Results: During follow-up, 419 (96% moderate acute exacerbations were registered. At baseline, frequent exacerbators had more severe disease than infrequent exacerbators according to their FEV1 and BODE index, and also showed greater impairment in inspiratory capacity, forced vital capacity, peripheral capillary oxygen saturation

Reactive oxygen species (ROS were measured by fluorescence-based assays. Cellular damage was determined by lactate-dehydrogenase (LDH-leakage. Expression analysis was performed by reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot. Transforming growth factor (TGF-β signaling was investigated by a Smad3/4-responsive luciferase-reporter assay.Results: Ethanol and TGF-β1 rapidly increased ROS in hHeps, causing a release of 40%–60% of total LDH after 72 hours. All antihypertensives dose dependently reduced ethanol-mediated oxidative stress and cellular damage. Similar results were observed for TGF-β1-dependent

The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI were also administered to measure depression severity.Results: When considering the whole groups, there were no differences in depressive symptom frequency between PD and CS apart from worthlessness/guilt, and changes in appetite reduced rates in PD. Further, total scores and psychic and somatic subscores of HDRS and BDI did not differ between PD and CS. After we separated PD and CS in those with MDD, MIND, and no depression (NODEP, comparing total scores and psychic/somatic subscores of HDRS and BDI, we found increased total depression severity in NODEP PD and reduced severity of the psychic symptoms of

    Full Text Available Durante las décadas de 1920 y 1930, una serie de escritores y periodistas cultivan la crítica política en textos que fusionan costumbrismo y humor. Con algunas excepciones, prefieren las formas breves, ya sea el cuento, el aguafuerte o la causerie. Arturo Cancela, Enrique Loncán, Enrique Méndez Calzada llegan con sus escritos a un público amplio porque colaboran en periódicos y revistas de gran tirada como La Nación, El Hogar, Caras y Caretas. Profundamente escépticos, son antiyrigoyenistas y a fuerza de tanto negativismo, antidemocráticos. El blanco de sus risas es el gobierno nacional y popular. Muestran una Argentina que, entre la ruina de las instituciones, se vislumbra como una sociedad en pedazos. Pero no sólo atentan contra los tiempos presentes. Los textos ponen en marcha una operación de desmitificación extendida de los grandes relatos nacionales. La risa y el estereotipo corroen los mitos creados por los escritores del Centenario como Leopoldo Lugones, Manuel Gálvez, Ricardo Rojas -para nombrar a los más representativos- que imaginan en sus ensayos identidades colectivas para la nación desplegando linajes reales o inventados. Los escritores nacionalistas se dan la tarea de crear un pasado para alimentar con memorias lo que veían como un desierto cultural e histórico. Los textos, que en su mayor parte adoptan la forma del ensayo monumental y totalizador, apuestan a consolidar la grandeza de la nación. Al construir la memoria colectiva, los relatos nacionales funcionan como archivos que guardan las tradiciones y establecen genealogías dando testimonio de un pasado primigenio. Enrique Loncán publica entre 1923 y 1936 cuatro volúmenes de causeries de título muy porteño, Las charlas de mi amigo en las que actualiza el género imprimiéndole la huella política. Elige las formas y los tonos de la causerie decimonónica para dotarlos de contenidos políticos. La jocosidad y la burla se unen para producir un tipo de

  13. Determination of Proton dose distal fall-off location by detecting right-angled prompt gamma rays

    The proton beam has a unique advantage over the electron and photon beams in that it can give very high radiation dose to the tumor volume while effectively sparing the neighboring healthy tissue and organs. The number of proton therapy facility is very rapidly increasing in the world. And now the 230 MeV cyclotron facility for proton therapy is constructing at National Cancer Center, this facility until 2006. The distal fall-off location of proton beam is simply calculated by analytical method, but this method has many uncertain when anatomical structure is very complicated. It is very important to know the exact position of the proton beam distal fall-off, or beam range, in the patient's body for both the safety of the patient and the effectiveness of the treatment itself. In 2003, Stichelbaut and Jongen reported the possibility of using the right-angled prompt gamma rays, which are emitted at 90 .deg. from the incident proton beam direction, to determine the position of the proton beam distal fall-off. They studied the interactions of the protons and other secondary particles in a water phantom and concluded that there is a correlation between the position of the distal fall-off and the distribution of the right-angled prompt gamma rays. We have recently designed a prompt gamma scanning system to measure the proton range in situ by using Monte Carlo technique employing MCNPX, FLUKA, and Sabrina TM . The prompt gamma scanning system was designed to measure only the right-angled prompt gamma rays passing through a narrow collimation hole in order to correlate the position with the dose distribution. The collimation part of the scanning system, which has been constructed to measure the gamma rays at 70 MeV of proton energy, is made of a set of paraffin, boron carbide, and lead layers to shield the high-energy neutrons and secondary photons. After the different proton energies and SOBP beam widths are irradiated at the water phantom. we detected prompt gamma at 5 cm

    Full Text Available El inicio de mi trabajo se concentra en la versión de la técnica propuesta por dos pensadores del siglo XX que son determinantes para el tema: Martín Heidegger y José Ortega y Gasset. Para Heidegger, arte, filosofía, ciencia y técnica son componentes compatibles y complementarios de un todo unitario que desarrolla las diversas formas del saber humano. Según Ortega y Gasset, la técnica amplía los recursos del ser humano y lo hace, además, de manera independiente del medio natural. La técnica genera una supra-naturaleza y hace a la humanidad más autónoma y poderosa. Frente a la versión inmanente del humanismo que propugnan Heidegger y Ortega y Gasset, Walter Benjamin propone una deslegitimación del homo universalisde raigambre filosófica y literaria clásica para abrirse a otra versión en la que el concepto de hombre es mudable y carece de una continuidad histórica fundada en el convencional e imperativo origen clásico.Estas conclusiones tienen consecuencias para la emergencia de un modo divergente de humanismo –un poshumanismo– que, sin negar la filiación clásica original, se separa de ella y la modifica con la inclusión de inflexiones diferentes. Concibo este poshumanismo como una nueva modulación integradora del pasado cultural que, alejándose de la disolución de la figura del autor y de la agencia única de la textualidad propia de Michel Foucault, no hace tabula rasa del archivo histórico y cultural. No parte de la nada absoluta en un devenir hacia un futuro carente de referentes previos legítimos. Por el contrario, este poshumanismo es una recomposición crítica de las vías previas del humanismo que se identifican con un yo sólido e inamovible. Además de diversas fuentes teóricas, utilizo como referentes prácticos de mi propuesta textos de Arturo Pérez-Reverte, Enrique Vila-Matas y Jaime Gil de Biedma. En Pérez-Reverte considero su reconstrucción de segmentos privilegiados del pasado histórico. Gil de

    Esta sesión solemne que celebramos hoy, gracias a la obligante solicitud del cadémico Laurentino Muñoz, ha debido realizarse el año pasado, pero debido a múltiples inconvenientes y al congestionado calendario de las actividades de la Academia, ello no fue posible, por lo cual rogamos a los oyentes se sirvan disimular la tardanza de esta celebración.

    Para la Academia Nacional de Medicina que ha conservado a través de los años una severa tradición de reconocimiento de los valores humanos, es especialmente grato rendir este homenaje de admiración a los ilustres hombres de ciencia que la honraron con sus ejecutorias ya los distinguidos miembros de la profesión médica que tuvieron su raigambre en ese maravilloso rincón de la patria: el departamento del Huila.

    Aprovechando esta ocasión, vamos a colocar en la galería de los presidentes, los retratos de dos ilustres académicos: del miembro honorario profesor Antonio María Barriga Villalba y el del miembro de número doctor Arturo Arboleda.

    El limitado tiempo de que dispongo, me impide hacer un relato detenido de la vida de Barriga Villalba, y un estudio crítico a fondo de su obra. Me limitaré con la venia de la audiencia, a destacar sólamente algunas realizaciones de sus actividades y de su dedicación a la docencia, pidiéndoles disculpas por las omisiones que pudieran tener estas pocas palabras.

    Nació en Bogotá el día 9 de junio de 1894. Contrajo matrimonio con doña Luisa Del Diestro de cuya unión hubo tres hijos: Luis, Antonio y Fernando. Murió este año a la edad cumplida de 91 años, rodeado del amor y cariño de los suyos.

    Hizo sus estudios secundarios en el Colegio Mayor de Nuestra Señora del Rosario, bajo la dirección del doctor Liborio Zerda, en donde recibió el título de bachiller.

    (Leído en el homenaje al doctor Arturo Lizarazo Bohórquez, pionero del psicoanálisis en Colombia, en la Academia Nacional de Medicina de Santafé de Bogotá, marzo de 1992.

    Fue Freud quien descubrió la técnica de la “curación por la palabra”; sin embargo, no hay palabras sin silencios y no hay silencios vivos sin pensamientos e imágenes internas no verbalizadas; unos y otras se interrelacionan, construyen o juegan para construir el diálogo, el discurso con o sin conceptos propositivos.

    Recavando en la evolución del hombre, nos encontramos con que éste emergió del silencio para comunicarse con el otro a través de la palabra pensante, estableciendo un diálogo. Esto lo diferencia del animal, el que también tiene sus sistemas de comunicación pero no llega a la palabra, hablada y menos escrita, con sentido y significado.

    Por su parte el psicoanálisis lo conocemos como el diálogo entre dos, en donde se habla de uno y de la interacción de los dos. Es bien sabido que para conocer del otro es necesario escucharlo, es decir, hay que aprender a oír y estar en silencio. Hay un oír comprensivo, presente, actuante, de interrelación, de traducción, tranquilo; a la vez, hay otro en donde el sujeto oyente imagina, sueña o guerrea porque no entiende y así huye en una fantasía sin comprensión, sin comunicación y sin conceptos.

    Bien es conocido el dicho que “la palabra es de plata y el silencio es de oro” y “quien llega a conocer sus silencios se llega a conocer a sí mismo, a tener una pequeña luz de sabiduría y de paz”; se habla que hay una “palabra” y todo un lenguaje del silencio, por eso se ha creado una semiótica (significaciones del silencio.

    Hay silencios de silencios y hay silencios que parten de otro silencio para llegar a un hablar comprensivo, éste es el que ocurre en psicoanálisis. El hombre necesita de estos silencios para entenderse, para o

    Los terrenos donados por la familia Copete en el centro de la ciudad, fueron vendidos y se inició la construcción él lo. De marzo de 1941, en el lugar que actualmente ocupa, encargándosela al arquitecto Pablo de la Cruz, el más famoso de la época, quien se basó en el anteproyecto que hizo el arquitecto norteamericano Hugh M. G. Garden. Las dificultades económicas hicieron que la obra marchara muy lentamente y, como consecuencia, fue necesario hacer variaciones al proyecto inicial, de acuerdo con las normas cambiantes de la técnica arquitectónica hospitalaria.

    Cuando doña Lorencita me hizo el honor de llamarme, en 1 954, a pedirme que me encargara de la dirección del hospital, me manifestó que la Junta Directiva había decidido poner en servicio lo que ya estaba utilizable de la obra, pues pensaba que 14 años que llevaba la construcción eran ya demasiado tiempo. Con anterioridad había prestado, transitoriamente, algunos servicios de consulta externa, que se habían suspendido por diversas razones. Vale la pena mencionar que en ese momento la Junta Directiva estaba compuesta por: Doña Lorencita Villegas de Santos, José Vicente Huertas, Jorge Andrade, Alvaro Copete, Alberto Fergusson, Daniel Brigard, Camilo Sáenz y Arturo González.

    La mayor parte de la edificación se encontraba en obra negra, sólo estaban terminadas las áreas de servicios generales, la consulta externa y las dos primeras plantas, que eran las únicas que tenían vidrios. Este hecho se debió a una circunstancia muy curiosa que se justifica relatar.

    En la época de la viokncia comenzaron a desplazarse, de los campos a la ciudad, grandes cantidades de personas, que no había dónde alojar. Algunos funcionarios del gobierno llamaron a la junta del Hospital a pedirle que les facilitara el edificio, que no tenía utilización hasta ese momento, para recibir allí a los refugiados.

    Dos ilustres médicos fundadores de la Academia y de la Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad Nacional, fueron el doctor Antonio Vargas Reyes y el doctor Manuel Azuero, pioneros de la cirugía de Cabeza y Cuello en el siglo pasado practicando “Resección parcial de Maxilares 1956-1976”, “Ligaduras de Arterias Linguales”, “Resección parcial de amígdalas”, “Extracción de cuerpos extraños del esófago”, “Trepanaciones de cráneo y cirugía de labio leporino”. Plata Azuero en 1857 opera al General Tomás Cipriano de Mosquera, delicada cirugía del maxilar inferior por lesión con armas de fuego y en otro paciente, extirpa el primer tumor de parótida sin lesionar el nervio facial.

    Recordamos a estos maestros con profunda admiración operando sin los recursos médicos o quirúrgicos con que hoy practicamos estas intervenciones. A continuación debo mencionar a los pioneros de la especialidad en los primeros 50 años de este siglo de 1900 a 1950 varios de ellos miembros de la Academia.

    En el año 1909, tres médicos generales viajan a Francia a especializarse, fueron ellos los doctores Celso Jiménez López, Arturo Arboleda y Manuel Antonio Cuéllar y al regresar practican en el Hospital San Juan de Dios, en la Misericordia y en la Clínica Santa Lucía las primeras endoscopias para extracción de cuerpos extraños del esófago y de los bronquios. El doctor Arcadio Forero en 1917 efectuó la primera broncoscopia en el país y el doctor Emilio Jaramillo, de Medellín, logra sin alumbrado sacar monedas del esófago.

    Los primeros fibromas nasofaríngeos los opera con éxito en 1930 el doctor Miguel Jiménez López, quien fuera un cirujano de grandes méritos y habilidad quirúrgica inigualable de quien dijera el profesor Francisco Vernaza: “Para ver operar al doctor Jiménez un fibroma nasofaríngeo hay que estar en la banca vestido de frac”.

    Grata es la presencia de vosotros, socios, colegas y amigos, que habéis tenido la gentileza de acompañarnos en este día para nosotros tan lleno de satisfacciones y hondos recuerdos.

    Con orgullo patriótico, celebramos hoy 90 años de la fundación de nuestra institución y ello por sí sólo es motivo suficiente para rendir justo tributo de admiración y cariño a nuestros mayores, quienes en desigual y desinteresada lucha, inspirados eso sí en nobles ideales, acometieron con arrojo esta empresa de dotar a la ciudad y al país de un centro hospitalario que hoy alcanza, después de tan largos años de arduo trabajo, proporciones de innegable valor y sitio prominente en la trayectoria de las realizaciones.

    Ha sido nuestra contribución, franca, leal y sincera en la lucha contra la enfermedad, el dolor y el desconsuelo.

    A comienzos del siglo XX, Chapinero era un barrio campestre de la capital, en su extremo norte, constituido por grandes casaquintas destinadas especialmente para el descanso familiar.

    Una de las más bellas, la había construido el francés Arturo A. de Cambill, luego de comprarle la quinta La Rosita a don Ricardo Gaviria en 1891. Cambill levantó una amplia y hermosa casa y embelleció el lugar con jardín, huertos y otros atractivos de tipo europeo.

    En recuerdo del sitio veraniego de Luis XIV, la llamó Marly. Cambill, le vendió su casa a John M. Vaughan en 1896 quien a su vez, e131 de mayo de 1901, vendió al odontólogo Guillermo Esguerra dicha propiedad. Guillermo Esguerra graduado en los Estados Unidos y hombre emprendedor, amplió las edificaciones y embelleció la casa y se radicó allí con su familia.

    édico-enfermera lo está cuidando; y cuántas veces hemos aconsejado a la enfermera leerle algún libro o revista agradable, incluso el periódico si él lo requiere; mantenerle su mente ocupada y en forma optimista es una muy buena medicina; todo esto se logra con la enfermera cuando tiene aquel sexto sentido de toda mujer y que es más desarrollado y estimulado en ella; comprender situaciones, dar un toque femenino de una sonrisa, de un gesto, anticiparse a los acontecimientos.

    Todas estas cualidades en grado sumo las posee Inés Durana Samper: su sonrisa permanente, su gesto amable, su bondad, su voz suave acogedora, han sido factores decisivos en su triunfo profesional.

    Para hablar de Inés, debo retroceder en el tiempo, a los años 50, pues tuve el agrado y fortuna de tenerla como Discípula. Era la época del Servicio Cooperativo Interamericano de Salud Pública (SCISP, instituto esencialmente técnico y que trabajaba en conjunto con el Ministerio de Salud. Hablar de la magnífica labor desarrollada por el SCISP sería algo largo.

    Sólo deseo mencionar que bajo su guía y control se fundó la Escuela de Enfermeras de la Universidad Nacional, bajo la dirección de Hellen Howitt, enfermera norteamericana muy bien calificada y allí estaba Inés como alumna y yo era profesor de esa magnífica institución; igualmente el SCISP fundó un Centro de Higiene modelo, el No. 6, en el sector del barrio Ricaurte de Bogotá; fui su Director por muchos años y las alumnas de Enfermería hacían prácticas en dicho Centro: organicé para ellas un programa muy completo, en conjunto con una magnífica enfermera que había estudiado en Estados Unidos y a su regreso se incorporó al centro modelo: es doña Pepa Ferro, a quien mucho debo por su ayuda técnica; también me colaboraron en forma eficaz Arturo Ocampo Alvarez, quien fue la persona que introdujo el uso del flúor tópico en la prevención de las caries dentales; Andrés Hernández Morales, mi compañero de grado en

    procurado, desde su fundación, mantener criterios de calidad en el proceso de revisión, e impulsar una política exogámica y de internacionalización, en particular buscando un impacto positivo en el ámbito latinoamericano de esa historia regional y local, pero sin descuidar su visibilización a escala global, a través de su registro en índices bibliográficos de citaciones, bases bibliográficas con comité de selección; y directorios, catálogos y redes internacionales. Los datos son evidentes: una categoría A2 en Publindex; un Q3 en Scimago (2014 y Q4 (2015;  79.186 usuarios y 337.736 visitas en Google Analytics, —68,78 % de Colombia y el restante del ámbito internacional, en especial de México (7,29 %, Argentina (5,09 %, Chile (2,2 %, Venezuela (2,20 %, Estados Unidos (2,15 %, España (2,12 %, entre otras 61 naciones—[1]; además de recibir 420 propuestas de publicación, de las cuales todas fueron revisadas pero sólo publicadas 214 del total, equivalente al 50 % del total recibidos. Con lo anterior, en el presente año 2017, esteremos identificando un escenario con nuevos indicadores que estaremos evaluando con miras a lograr sortear los retos anteriormente señalados y mantener vigente nuestro proyecto editorial. El presente número, HiSTOReLo. Revista de Historia Regional y Local (Enero-Junio, Vol. 9, núm. 17, ofrece diversos énfasis temáticos —Cultura, Actores y Política— relacionados con los casos de Colombia, Ecuador y México. El primero de ellos es la Cultura donde el teatro en Medellín y Bogotá en periodos distintos son abordados por Nancy Yohana Correa Serna y Paulo César León Palacios. En ese misma categoría y espacios locales urbanos, el arte moderno y en particular la exposición francesa de 1922 es tenido en cuenta por Carlos Arturo Fernández Uribe y Gustavo Villegas, a lo cual se adiciona el análisis histórico de la arquitectura ibaguereña centrada en el edificio de la Gobernación del Tolima por parte de Andrés Ernesto

    zu erproben, wie Computerspiele in den Bereich der aktiven, projektorientierten Medienarbeit eingebunden werden können, die sich dieser neuen Medien – im Unterschied zu Radio, Presse oder Film – bisher kaum angenommen hat. Das Konzept des Video Game Essays knüpft an der Film- und Videoarbeit an, erweitert es aber um einige neue Elemente, die mit den technischen Besonderheiten der Spiele zu tun haben. Der Ansatz kann als innovative Form der Medienanalyse angesehen werden, bleibt aber bei der Analyse nicht stehen, sondern eröffnet auch weitergehende Handlungs- und Lernpotenziale. Als Einsatzgebiete des Video Game Essays werden die ausserschulische Medienarbeit, die Schul- und die Hochschulausbildung genauer betrachtet. Claudia Lampert, Christiane Schwinge und Daniel Tolks zeichnen in ihrem Beitrag die bisherigen Entwicklungen im Bereich der Serious Games nach, die von anderen Ansätzen des mediengestützten Lernens wie E-Learning, Edutainment und Game-Based Learning abgegrenzt werden, und arbeiten den aktuellen Diskussions- und Forschungsstand auf. Die Potenziale und Grenzen werden am Beispiel zweier Spiele aus dem Gesundheitsbereich (Games for Health detaillierter diskutiert, für die auch erste empirische Befunde vorliegen. Serious Games gewinnen zwar – nach Ansicht der Autoren/innen vor allem aus Marketinggründen – zunehmend an Bedeutung, allerdings bestehe noch ein erheblicher Forschungs- und Evaluationsbedarf. Sabrina Schrammel und Konstantin Mitgutsch kritisieren, dass im medienpädagogischen Diskurs über Computerspiele der Umstand vernachlässigt werde, dass Spielen eine kulturell geprägte, aktive Auseinandersetzung mit einem Spielgegenstand sei. Ihnen geht es im vorliegenden Beitrag daher darum, die spezifische medial- kulturelle Praktik des Computerspielens zu erfassen bzw. dafür einen geeigneten methodischen und theoretischen Zugang zu entwickeln und vorzustellen. Das Spielen von Computerspielen wird in Anlehnung an den internationalen Diskurs

    massively sponsor this DNA conference at the ICTP. The conference was generously co-sponsored by the Wellcome Trust (UK). It comprised approximately 60 talks on topically focused sessions devoted to: DNA mechanics DNA structure, interactions and aggregation Recognition of homologous genes Conformational dynamics, supercoiling and packing DNA compactization in viruses DNA-protein interaction and recognition DNA in confinement (pores and vesicles) Smart DNA (robotics, nano-architectures, switches, sensors and DNA electronics) The success of the conference was that it was not a meeting of a club of physicists interested in biology, but a meeting of physicists, carrying out important work widely published not only in physical but also biological journals, with the leading biologists who, personally, were keenly interested in learning what novelties physical methods and existing knowledge could offer them. They were equally eager to explain to physicists and mathematicians the most challenging paradigms of molecular biology research. The conference was opened by two inspiring high-impact talks, from a Director of the European Molecular Genetics Center in Trieste, Arturo Falaschi, the Editor of HFSP Journal (who sadly just passed away last month), and from a scientist of the next generation, Lynn Zechiedrich, Professor of Baylor Medical School and former co-worker of the late Nick Cozzarelly. Both showed astounding manifestations of the polymeric behavior of DNA, where physics is eagerly awaited like rain in the desert. However, at the whole conference about 40% of lectures were delivered by biologists. In this short article it is not possible to cover even the most exciting presentations, and I refer interested readers to the website [5] where further information can be found. I will outline below just a couple of issues. The conference revealed big progress in understanding the details of DNA mechanics, including its local sequence-dependent elastic properties. Progress was
