Un breve recorrido a lo largo de los cambios fundamentales referidos a la lectura y la percepción del tiempo y su impacto en los modelos de análisis utilizados en la historiografía del arte, permite dar cuenta de la importancia del anacronismo y el montaje no solo como otros modos de mirar la historia, sino como mecanismos discursivos en la producción artística visual. La apropiación, el vaciamiento, la fragmentación y la yuxtaposición se presentan como operaciones alegóricas asociadas que generan resignificaciones, valiosas alternativas de acercamiento al objeto de estudio y nuevas capas de sentido ante la lectura crítica de determinados acontecimientos históricos y sus correspondencias en el campo de las artes.

With the widespread use of imaging modalities performed for the staging of prostate cancer, the incidental detection of synchronous tumors is increasing in frequency. Robotic surgery represents a technical evolution in the treatment of solid tumors of the urinary tract, and it can be a valid option in the case of multi-organ involvement. We reported a case of synchronous prostate cancer and bifocal renal carcinoma in a 66-year-old male. We performed the first case of a combined upper- and lower-tract robotic surgery for a double-left-partial nephrectomy associated with radical prostatectomy by the transperitoneal approach. A comprehensive literature review in this field has also been carried out. Total operative time was 265 min. Renal hypotension time was 25 min. Blood loss was 250 mL. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course. No recurrence occurred after 12 months. In the literature, 10 cases of robotic, radical, or partial nephrectomy and simultaneous radical prostatectomy have been described. Robotic surgery provides less invasiveness than open surgery with comparable oncological efficacy, overcoming the limitations of the traditional laparoscopy. During robotic combined surgery for synchronous tumors, the planning of the trocars’ positioning is crucial to obtain good surgical results, reducing the abdominal trauma, the convalescence, and the length of hospitalization with a consequent cost reduction. Rare complications can be related to prolonged pneumoperitoneum. Simultaneous robotic prostatectomy and partial nephrectomy appears to be a safe and feasible surgical option in patients with synchronous prostate cancer and renal cell carcinoma.

This syndrome is related to the progressive impairment of health conditions and/or stressing events (ie, hospitalization), characterized by confusion and/or stupor, which are consequently difficult to manage and require a great deal of care. Geriatric patients often suffer from multiple chronic illnesses, may take numerous medications daily, exhibit clinical instability, and may experience worsening of medical conditions following cerebral ischemic events and thus have an increased risk of disability and mortality. There are several studies in literature which demonstrate the efficacy of citicoline, thanks to its neuroprotective function, for the recovery and in postischemic cerebral rehabilitation. It has been shown that, even soon after an ischemic stroke, administration of oral citicoline (500–4000 mg/day) improves the general conditions evaluated with the Rankin scale and the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale 12. In particular, it has been shown that the CDP-choline improves the cognitive and mental performance in Alzheimer's dementia and vascular dementia. We have evaluated the administration of citicoline in geriatric patients following a protocol of intravenous study on improvement of individual performances.Keywords: geriatric syndrome, citicoline, Alzheimer's disease, cerebrovascular disease, comorbiditiesCorrigendum for this paper has been published

Este trabajo aborda una aproximación al estudio sobre la sombra en las artes visuales como tema, motivo y discurso estético. Se intenta mostrar cómo, a lo largo de la historia, la sombra ha ganado autonomía a partir de la gradual valoración de sus cualidades narrativas. En este sentido, su vínculo con lo siniestro aparece con fuerza durante el Romanticismo, período durante el cual también surge lo sublime como categoría estética. La sombra en el arte abandona, de a poco, su rol complementario respecto a los efectos de la luz para adquirir una poderosa carga significativa propia. Su relación con el sujeto referente la muestra como el doble que nos presenta el otro lado del ser y, en otras ocasiones, como signo indicial de un cuerpo iluminado.

El objeto de esta línea de investigaciónª, es el de documentar micro procesos cotidianos que pueden favorecer la inclusión de los sujetos en las instituciones educativas. Se han indagado sistemas de aprendizaje que describen las relaciones entre dos entornos educativos cotidianos: familia y escuela en las continuidades-discontinuidades que presentan. Para este propósito se han ponderado los ejes temáticos referido a " deberes escolares" y actividades "tutoriales" por ser éstos espacios cotidianos de interacción entre alumnos, docentes y padres. Se ha ponderado el nivel de análisis psicológico en lo referido a procesos cognitivos involucrados en las actividades de aprendizaje en sus contextos. Dados los altos índices de "fracaso escolar" la investigación se ha centrado en el estudio de los primeros ciclos de educación básica y media.The purpose of this line of research in Educational Psychology is to identify the elements that favor school's inclusion. This study aims to examine activities and learning systems permitting to describe the relationships between two different quotidian educational environments: school and family. It undertakes the description and analysis of the continuity-discontinuity lines that exist between them. In order to do that, two different topics have been given a special significance: "homework" and existing "tutoring practices". Both of them are considered as daily interaction spaces between students, teachers and parents. Here, a special care is given to the psychological analysis referred to the cognitive processes involved in different learning activities in their contexts. The investigation is focused on the study of the firsts levels of elementary and high school education, given the high ratio of "school failure" found there.

En el presente texto se reflexiona acerca de la producción del artista argentino Ernesto Deira (1928-1986) a la luz de algunas características que hacen al arte contemporáneo. Tomando como disparador el políptico Nueve variaciones para un bastidor bien tensado (1965), se presentan algunos de sus elementos constitutivos –el cuerpo fragmentado, cosificado y desmaterializado; la indeterminación, la repetición, la seriación, el exceso y el desplazamiento–, como poderosos antecedentes de lo que ocurrirá con las producciones artísticas a partir de los ochenta. Más de treinta años después, buena parte de la obra contemporánea retoma con fuerza estos rasgos, renovando y multiplicando sentidos.

The use of narrow row spacing for the different landscape positions of a field could punish maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield. Two experiments were conducted (2006/07 and 2007/08) at different landscape positions in the Inland Pampas of Argentina. Hybrid DK190MG was grown at the commonest plant density used at each landscape position (approximately 5.1 plants/m2 at the summit, 6.5 plants/m2 at shoulder-slope position, and 7.6 plants/m2 at foot-slope position) with three row spacings (0.38 m, 0.52 m, and 0.38 m in a 2×1 skip-row pattern). At the silking stage of maize crops, soil water content (0–200 cm depth) and maximum light capture differed (0.05
