La tromboembolia pulmonar es una entidad clínica frecuente que hace parte de la enfermedad tromboembólica venosa. En EE.UU. y el mundo forma parte de las causas frecuentes de muerte intrahospitalaria y acarrea grandes comorbilidades a largo plazo. Clínicamente es importante reconocer la entidad de forma temprana en el servicio de urgencias para definir la necesidad de hospitalización, lugar de hospitalización e inicio de tratamiento oportuno para evitar complicaciones severas. A pesar de que la ecografía es una herramienta conocida, su uso en el servicio de urgencias o por médicos no radiólogos ha venido en auge en los últimos años. El especialista en medicina de urgencias es la persona entrenada e idónea para identificar signos que en conjunto permitan tomar decisiones rápidas y acertadas desde el servicio de urgencias e impactar en la sobrevida de los pacientes. A continuación presentamos el caso de una paciente de 62 años que consulta por disnea en el servicio de urgencias y en la cual la ecografía permite la toma de decisiones en minutos posteriores a su ingreso.

Objective. To identify sexual risk behaviors and barriers to sexual and reproductive health care (SRH) among Venezuelan female sex workers living in the Dominican Republic. Methods. This was a mixed-methods study using four focus group discussions (FGDs) and a cross-sectional quantitative survey with Venezuelan migrant female sex workers. The study was conducted from September through October 2021 in two urban areas (Santo Domingo and Puerto Plata) in the Dominican Republic. Information collected from the FGDs was analyzed using thematic content analysis, and quantitative data were analyzed using univariate descriptive statistics. Data analysis was conducted from 30 November 2021 to 20 February 2022. Results. In all, 40 Venezuelan migrant female sex workers with a median (range) age of 33 (19-49) years participated in the FGDs and survey. The FDGs identified barriers to SRH services, including immigration status and its implications for formal employment and health access, mental wellbeing, quality-of-life in the Dominican Republic, navigating sex work, perceptions of sex work, SRH knowledge, and limited social support. Findings of the quantitative analysis indicated that most participants reported feeling depressed (78%), lonely/isolated (75%), and having difficulty sleeping (88%). Participants reported an average of 10 sexual partners in the past 30 days; 55% had engaged in sexual practices while under the influence of alcohol; and only 39% had used a condom when performing oral sex in the past 30 days. Regarding AIDS/HIV, 79% had taken an HIV test in the past 6 months, and 74% knew where to seek HIV services. Conclusions. This mixed-methods study found that nationality and social exclusion have a multilayered influence on migrant female sex workers, sexual risk behaviors, and access to health care. Recommendations for effective evidence-based interventions to address sexual health knowledge need to be implemented to address risky sexual behaviors, improve access to SRH, and reduce affordability barriers.

Pulex irritans Linnaeus is commonly known as the human flea owing to its general association with humans, with human dwellings, and with pets and other animals in close association with humans. In fact, this species has been found associated with human archaeological sediments in Europe and Greenland, underscoring the long-term correlation between humans and this flea (Buckland and Sadler 1989). The human flea is cosmopolitan (Mullen and Durden 2019, Gage 2005, Marquardt et al. 2000), but is found in highest abundance in areas where it can readily find mammalian hosts. Though its relative abundance and overall medical importance is disputed, this flea has been implicated as a potentially important vector of the human pathogens causing plague and murine typhus as well as serving as a potential vector of a tapeworm known to parasitize humans (Eldridge and Edman 2004). This review is intended for a general audience interested in understanding the biology, ecology, and medical importance of the human flea.

El signo del dedo azul (SDA) es una condición poco frecuente causada principalmente por la oclusión de la vasculatura periférica. Clínicamente puede manifestarse como una coloración azulada o eritrocianótica en uno o varios dedos en ausencia de traumatismo y condiciones propias de congelación. Las etiologías son múltiples e incluyen obstrucción del flujo arterial, disminución del flujo venoso y alteración en la viscosidad sanguínea. La importancia de reconocer el signo como motivo de consulta radica en encaminar un diagnóstico temprano e instaurar un tratamiento que evite la evolución natural de la enfermedad hacia la necrosis, amputación o muerte del paciente. Proponemos un algoritmo diagnóstico para reconocer los elementos de la historia clínica que guíen la etiología y los paraclínicos disponibles desde el Servicio de Urgencias.

ABSTRACT The attainment of the alphabetic principle is one of the earliest signs of successful literacy acquisition. Public school students from the Dominican Republic have low literacy skills, partly because of not being systematically exposed to the alphabetic principle while learning to read. This paper presents the results of an intervention to teach the alphabetic principle using a tablet-based game. Nineteen kindergarten students were randomly assigned to a control and an experimental group during the last month of the 2017 school year. Students from the experimental group played with the game for ten sessions of 20 minutes each. Students from the experimental group outperformed the control group in syllable recognition after the intervention. The intervention did not influence other reading skills. Automatic syllable identification has been shown to boost early literacy acquisition, although it is not sufficient for students to become fluent readers.

The oriental rat flea, Xenopsylla cheopis (Rothschild, 1903), is a member of the family Pulicidae in the order Siphonaptera. Fleas are highly specialized insects that are demonstrably successful as ectoparasites of birds and mammals (Marquardt, et al. 2000). Of the nearly 2,500 species of fleas known from around the world (Triplehorn & Johnson 2005), few are as infamous as the oriental rat flea. This species is best known as the carrier of the plague bacterium (Yersinia pestis) that was responsible for decimating large populations of people, including nearly a third of the human population of Europe, and influenced the trajectory of human history (Fasulo 2004). In addition to its role as a vector of the plague bacterium, this species can vector other pathogens and at least two tapeworm parasites of humans (Marquardt, et al. 2000; Gage 2005).

Scarce records of Pampas cats exist in the extreme south of Chile (Patagonia). Through camera traps, we captured the first confirmed record of L. colocola in northern Patagonia of Chile. Besides, records of its marking behavior through feces and urine were captured and discussed to understand this poorly known wild cat.

Existen estudios que relacionan Burnout y Empatía, sin embargo, no contemplan variables sociodemográficas externas como las incluidas en esta investigación; tampoco se han analizado con respecto a Grados de Exposición al COVID-19. El objetivo principal de este estudio es identificar si existe una relación entre Grados de Exposición al COVID-19, Burnout, Empatía Cognitiva y Empatía Afectiva. En esta investigación participaron 120 personas, elegidas a través de un muestreo no probabilístico de tipo intencional y voluntario. Para medir el Burnout se utilizó el Screening Inventory (BSI: Dávila y Nevado, 2016), mientras que la Empatía fue evaluada a través del Empathy Quotient (EQ: Redondo y Herrero-Fernández, 2018). Grados de Exposición al COVID-19 se midió con una subescala de un instrumento desarrollado por Herbas (2020) que mide factores que inciden en la adopción de comportamientos que reducen el contagio del virus. Los resultados no muestran correlaciones entre el Burnout con los ingresos económicos o ambos tipos de Empatía. No obstante, existen correlaciones positivas y significativas entre Empatía Afectiva y Grados de Exposición al COVID-19 en profesionales de la salud (r = .66, p< .05), entre Empatía Cognitiva y Empatía Afectiva (r = .46, p < .01) y entre ingresos económicos y Grados de Exposición al COVID-19 (r = .20, p

Self-efficacy is crucial for producing challenging research results, which in turn may lead to innovations and development that can accelerate a country's economy. Undergraduate research self-efficacy in Cambodia has been of particular interest because graduates form the future pipeline of research professionals, which is important for Cambodia since its economy is still at a developing stage. While several studies have been conducted on undergraduate research self-efficacy in Cambodia, most of the participants were from capital city-based universities. The research self-efficacy of province-based university students, whose numbers have increased in recent years, remains to be investigated. In this study, we address this gap by adapting the Research Self-Efficacy Survey by Phillips and Russell (1994) and administered it to 1,009 undergraduate students from different faculties at three public province-based universities in Cambodia in order to assess their research self-efficacy. Using independent t‑tests and ANOVA, the mean research self‑efficacy score was 2.13 (± .66) on a 5 point-scale and varies significantly with small effect size based upon gender, academic year, and working experience. There is a need to focus on interventions aimed at improving the research self-efficacy of the undergraduate students, which in turn will increase their ability to do research. These include measures such as curriculum reform, improving the quality of teaching, teacher training, creating new educational materials, and upgrading research facilities. These will allow more research activities that can give the students opportunities to do research and eventually increase their research self-efficacy which is likely to benefit Cambodian society in the provinces. Although the issues presented here may appear to be isolated to Cambodia, other developing nations should also consider these issues as they develop higher educational institutions in their provinces away from their capital city.

En este artículo reflexiono acerca del concepto de empleabilidad considerando la experiencia de recicladores/as que se han desempeñado en una planta social de clasificación de residuos ubicada en el Complejo Ambiental Norte III de CEAMSE, cuya planificación y puesta en funcionamiento he estudiado desde 2003 hasta la fecha. Como resultado de este trabajo postulo la hipótesis de que el concepto de empleabilidad es eficaz como discurso que atenúa las expectativas de los/as recicladores/as en cuanto a los derechos que pueden reivindicar, afianzando su vulnerabilidad. En cambio, no permite explicar ni la constitución de estos colectivos ni el potencial de estas experiencias para configurar lazos sociales en las poblaciones marginadas del empleo formal. Los límites del concepto de empleabilidad no residen, a mí entender, solo en dicho concepto; sino en el supuesto de que la asignación y acceso a los lugares en el circuito productivo puede explicarse en términos de mercado.

En este trabajo reflexiono acerca del modo en que abordamos los discursos que recogemos en el trabajo de campo. Como parte de este recorrido pongo de relieve los supuestos filosóficos detrás de los conceptos de acción y experiencia y las implicancias teórico metodológicas de situarse dentro de estas dos tradiciones analíticas. Los datos que presento son resultados de una investigación cualitativa comenzada en 2003, enriquecida por procesos de investigación acción, acerca de la puesta en marcha de una planta social de clasificación de residuos. En este artículo recorro un período de más de diez años a lo largo de los cuales los cambios en los conflictos y el modo de presentar la planta nos permite observar, no solo los cambios en el contexto socio histórico, sino también transformaciones subjetivas que llevan a diferentes posicionamientos de los actores sociales entre sí y frente a su propia historia.

Commercial and creative perspectives are critical when making movies. Deciding how to select and combine elements of stories gleaned from books into multimodal texts results in films whose modes of image, words, sound and movement interact in ways that create new wholes and so, new stories, which are more than the sum of their individual parts. The Imitation Game (2014) claims to be based on a true story recorded in the seminal biography by Andrew Hodges, Alan Turing: The Enigma (1983). The movie, as does its primary source, endeavours to portray the crucial role of Enigma during World War Two, along with the tragic fate of a key individual, Alan Turing. The film, therefore, involves translation of at least two "true" stories, making the film a rich source of data for this paper that addresses aspects of multimodal inter-semiotic translations (MISTs). Carefully selected aspects of tales based on "true stories" are interpreted in films; however, not all interpretations possess the same degree of integrity in relation to their original source text. This paper assumes films, based on stories, are a form of MIST, whose integrity of translation needs to be assessed. The methodology employed uses a case-study approach and a "grid" framework with two key critical thinking (CT) standards: Accuracy and Significance, as well as a scale (from "low" to "high"). This paper offers a stretched and nuanced understanding of inter-semiotic translation by analysing how multimodal strategies are employed by communication interpretants.

Los conceptos «movimiento social» y «partido político» definen modos específicos de inserción en la cosa pública mutuamente prescindentes. Esta caracterización, formulada en el contexto de democracias occidentales, impide comprender la complejidad de los procesos de movilización social que se han expresado en América Latina desde la década de 1980. Por ello urge repensar estas conceptualizaciones a partir de investigaciones empíricamente fundadas que den cuenta de estos procesos. Con este fin, aquí se analizan los debates acerca de la inserción en el campo político que tuvieron lugar entre líderes de un movimiento social piquetero, la FTV, frente a dos situaciones concretas: la «aceptación» de programas sociales en 2000 y la conformación de un partido, el PTA, creado en 2003 para apoyar al presidente.

OBJETIVO: verificar se indivíduos com alteração do frênulo da língua apresentam alteração na mobilidade da língua e na mastigação. MÉTODOS: a casuística desta pesquisa foi composta por dois grupos, um alvo e outro controle, cada um deles com 10 indivíduos. O grupo alvo apresentava alteração de frênulo da língua. Todos foram submetidos aos protocolos de avaliação de frênulo da língua e de mastigação. As provas de mobilidade da língua e de mastigação foram filmadas. Todos os frênulos da língua foram fotografados. RESULTADOS: os dados coletados mostraram que os indivíduos com alteração do frênulo têm 5,447 vezes mais chance de apresentar alteração na mobilidade da língua que indivíduos com frênulo normal. Os indivíduos com alterações da mobilidade da língua não mantiveram constância quanto ao tempo mastigatório. Quanto à mastigação no Modo de Trituração, 100% dos indivíduos do grupo controle utilizaram os dentes posteriores. Entre os indivíduos com alteração do frênulo da língua, 47% mastigaram usando os dentes posteriores e 53% utilizaram os dentes anteriores e/ou fizeram amassamento com a língua. Com relação as atipias musculares, os indivíduos com alteração de frênulo possuíram 5,714 vezes mais chance de apresentá-las durante a mastigação que os indivíduos do grupo controle. CONCLUSÃO: indivíduos com alterações do frênulo da língua apresentaram alterações dos movimentos da língua e alterações na mastigação.PURPOSE: to check if individuals with lingual frenulum alteration demonstrate chewing interference. METHODS: the casuistry of this research was carried out with two groups, a target and a control group, each one with ten individuals. The target group had lingual frenulum alteration. All subjects were submitted to lingual frenulum and chewing evaluation protocols. This procedure was recorded. RESULTS: the collected samples showed that individuals with lingual frenulum alteration have 5.447 times more chances of show tongue mobility alteration than individuals with normal frenulum. Subjects with tongue mobility alteration haven't kept regularity when it comes to mastication period. As for the chewing, on the grinding mode, 100% of the control group used the back teeth. Among the subjects with frenulum alteration, 47% used the back teeth and 53% chewed with the front teeth and/or mashing with the tongue. Regarding muscle atypical movements, individuals with frenulum alteration have 5.714 times more chances to show them during the chewing than individuals from the control group. CONCLUSION: individuals with lingual frenulum alteration showed tongue mobility alteration and mastication alterations.

Frecuentemente se suele analizar la constitución de movimientos socialesen términos de respuesta a determinadas situaciones macro, constituyendo las demandas que portan como eje de análisis. Llamamos a esta perspectiva “enfoque a partir de las demandas”. A partir de un trabajo de investigación realizado en el período 2002-2005 en una organización piquetera, se propone una perspectiva analítica en la que se recuperen la dinámica de conformación del movimiento, así como la construcción de sus demandas como un proceso dinámico y no como respuesta a la coyuntura. Para ello introducimos los conceptos de experiencias antecedentes y analizamos la vinculación de los/as participantes con el movimiento considerando las dos rupturas que permiten a quienes llegan impulsados por sus necesidades a constituirse en “luchadores”. De esta forma, las demandas que porta el movimiento son la cristalización de procesos más extensos, y su constitución no puede ser explicado como efecto de coyuntura.

El artículo centra la atención en las acciones colectivas que encuentran en la ausencia de trabajo asalariado su núcleo articulador, incluyendo la protesta, como expresión de poder que constituye un desafío y convoca a la solidaridad; la protesta es entendida como un momento de exposición directa, pública y disruptiva, de prácticas que la exceden. De allí la necesidad de dar cuenta de la interacción entre la realidad cotidiana y el momento crítico de la protesta, en tanto formas de sociabilidad que fortalecen la identidad, como motor y posibilidad de la acción colectiva. Metodológicamente el estudio recurre a entrevistas e historias de vida entre recicladores y trabajadores desempleados organizados, denominados piqueteros; en la lectura de las entrevistas nos concentramos en el rastreo de aquellos aspectos y dimensiones de los relatos que ponen de relieve la crisis entre trabajo e identidad política, centrando el análisis, en aquello que los sujetos dicen en relación a la política y lo que ésta significa para ellos, tanto en función del pasado, como de cara al futuro.

Este trabajo es resultado de una investigación sobre procesos de implementación de políticas sociales dirigidas a desocupados/as en Buenos Aires en el período 1998-2008. La hipótesis que estructura este trabajo es que en estos años se estructuró un campo de fuerzas en torno al trabajo, en el contexto del cual los/as marginados/as de los mercados de trabajo primarios o formales tuvieron grados variables de fuerza para imponer su caracterización acerca de la situación que estaban padeciendo. Cuando lograron instalar al desempleo como problema social que exige respuestas políticas su situación relativa mejoró, cuando su situación fue planteada en términos de inempleabilidad –y se instrumentaron programas en consecuencia- su participación en el ingreso se vio deteriorada. En tal sentido, sostenemos que la definición de su situación no está vinculada con sus atributos personales sino con la relación de fuerzas establecida en el campo político.

The Senegalese sole, Solea senegalensis, is an important commercial flatfish species with major fisheries located off the Atlantic coast of the SW Iberian Peninsula. Past information about the genetic structure and connectivity among natural populations of this species has been restricted to mitochondrial DNA analysis. The present analysis of eight natural Atlantic populations fished from Lisbon to the Gulf of Cádiz, using nine microsatellite loci, identifies high intrapopulation genetic variability. Out of 72 tests performed, a total of 19 statistically significant deviations from Hardy-Weinberg (H-W) expectations (24%), and 7 after Bonferroni corrections (9%), were observed in the populations examined. Most deviations from H-W expectations were caused by heterozygote deficiencies (positive Fis values) attributed to null alleles predominantly occurring in two loci (Sol GA12 and Sol MIJ) and one population (Río San Pedro). Pairwise genetic differentiation among populations was only found in comparisons involving Río San Pedro samples (five out of seven comparisons) and Barbate samples (two out of seven comparisons). The observed genetic structure complements existing information from mitochondrial data and should contribute to future management of fisheries of this species, since some fisheries are not environmentally sustainable.

In this paper we analyze the case of women involved in a piqueteros' movement named Frente Popular Dario Santillán. This movement promotes "social change" through the transformation of political practices and overcoming "the old forms of domination". Despite this purpose, it still has a distinctive characteristic shared with other "traditional" institutions: although it was composed mostly of women, the leaders were men. This is the starting point of a "women space" conformation. From this space women have questioned not only the distribution of power within the movement, but also the meanings of social change. In this article we analyse this process from conceptual tools introduced by Fraser-Honneth debate.

Al considerar las relaciones prospectivas entre la música y el pensamiento evolutivo es necesario articular claramente a qué nos referimos cuando usamos el término ‘música’. Las investigaciones antropológicas, y crecientemente, cognitivas y neurocientíficas, sugieren que el término posee una aplicabilidad amplia que va más allá de las con-cepciones convencionales de la música como mero entretenimiento. A través de las culturas, la música se presenta activa, interactiva e insertada en un rango amplio de actividades sociales; parece ser un rasgo tan “normal” como el lenguaje en la interacción humana. Sin embargo, a diferencia del lenguaje, los significados de la música, paradóji-camente, parecen ser naturales -la música parece significar lo que suena- y al mismo tiempo indeterminados en su fundación. Este capítulo argumentará que esta paradoja está en el corazón del rol de la música en la interacción humana. Partiendo de la premisa de que la música se manifiesta en situaciones donde el foco está puesto en la interacción social como un fin en sí mismo (y no como un medio hacia un fin), se sugerirá que la música puede ser mejor conceptualizada como un medio de comunicación que posee rasgos que son óptimos para el manejo de situaciones de incertidumbre social. Se propondrá que puede darse cuenta de al menos algunos de los aspectos del significado en la música a través de su explotación de los mecanismos de comunicación que en otras especies subyacen al fenómeno de “señalización honesta”. Puede postularse que otras raíces de los rasgos del significado musical se hallan en las regularidades específicas de la especie que aparecen en el mapeo entre el afecto y la vocalización humana, mientras que otros emergen como el resultado de las dinámicas contingentes del proceso cultural. Así, la música incorpora dimensiones de significado múltiples con diferentes raíces evolutivas. La disponibilidad simultánea de las tres di-mensiones del significado musical dotan a la experiencia de la música de una intencio-nalidad flotante -la música parece tratar sobre ‘algo’, pero el objeto de ese ‘sobre algo’ es ambiguo-, mientras que la operación de sensibilidades comunicativas generales de la especie le permite a la música la apariencia de una “señal honesta”. Al mismo tiempo, los procesos cognitivos y de comportamiento que permiten que los humanos aliñen sus acciones y sonidos entre sí en el tiempo dentro de un marco de trabajo comúnmente experimentado de pulsos temporalmente regulares y que puede ser específico de los humanos imparten un sentido de afiliación mutua a la experiencia musical colectiva. La música puede ser concebida como un medio de comunicación que es tan vital como el lenguaje para la vida social humana y para las concepciones y compromisos de los humanos con la espiritualidad humana.

Loins from 14 pig carcasses were randomly assigned to Electrical Stimulation (ES) treatments (sixteen loins stimulated and 11 loins .not stimulated) and processed either 2 h (hot processing), 48 h (conventional processing).or after 19 days (processing after aging) postslaughter. Twenty-five chunks of porcine longissimus dorsi samples, each providing constant volume and surface, were mixed one hour at 24ºC vs 4°C using two mixer types (models K-5A vs K-45 Kitchen-aid food preparers). Protein exudate formed on meat surfaces as a result of mixing muscle in the presence of 1% salt, 0.3% sodium tripolyphosphate and 5% water was collected to determine myofibrillar and sarcoplasmic protein extraction efficiency in relation to four different processing variables. Mixer type a significant (P Ë‚ .05) effect on exudate development and myofibrillar protein extractability. The model K-45, equipped with a smaller bowl capacity than the K-5A, developed a larger amount of exudate and extracted more myofibrillar protein (P Ë‚ .05) probably due to more frictional energy and agitation intensity. Sarcoplasmic protein concentration was lower (P Ë‚ .05) in the exudate recovered from non-stimulated samples and also from aged samples (P < .01). Mixing temperature did not affect (P Ë‚ .05) protein extractability. Processing time x mixer type and mixer type x mixing temperature interactions were significant (P < .05) for sarcoplasmic protein concentration in the exudates. Also, two-way (processing time x mixing temperature) and three-way interactions (ES x mixer type x mixing temperature) for the amount (mg) of myofibrillar protein extracted per gram of muscle were significant (P < .05) indicating the interdependence of al1 these treatments on the protein extractability variables. Some recommendations for similar studies are given in terms of the experimental procedure and protein extraction measurements.

En este artículo se aborda seriamente la pregunta ¿es la privación materna la raíz de toda la maldad? La consideración sobre esta cuestión se divide en tres partes. En la primera se discute la naturaleza de la maldad, enfocándose en particular sobre el concepto de depravación. En la segunda se aborda la crianza de la maldad, con base en la trayectoria evolutiva común vista en aquellos que son depravados. En la tercera se explora la raíz de la maldad, a partir de la investigación animal y humana sobre la privación materna. La conclusión es que la privación materna puede ser realmente la raíz de todos los males, pero sólo cuando los individuos depravados han sido privados del cuidado maternal normativo, el cual es la cuna de la humanidad.

INTRODUCCIÓN: La Hipertensión Arterial (HTA) es un padecimiento muitifactorial, con incidencia y prevalencia crecientes, por lo que se considera un problema de salud pública. OBJETIVOS: Conocer la prevalencia de HTA en niños de 6 a 12 años, en la ciudad de Cipolletti. Comprobar si existen diferencias en cuanto a sexo y edad. Institucionalizar la toma de Tensión Arterial (TA) como parte del examen físico de rutina en el control del niño. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: El estudio fue de tipo corte transversal, a partir de una muestra de 1038 alumnos con edades comprendidas entre 6 y 12 años, pertenecientes a 7 establecimientos públicos de la ciudad de Cipolletti. Se utilizó esfingomanómetro mercurial y brazaletes de 7.5 x 15 cm. y de 12 x 22 cm.. Se empleó el método auscultatorio en fase 1 y y de Korotkoff. Se siguieron las recomendaciones de la Second Task Force for Blood Pressure in Children. La toma de la TA se realizó en tres visitas, en cada una de ellas se identificó aquellos alumnos que se encontraban en valores iguales o mayores a los establecidos para hipertensión: Niños: 115/75 mmllg (6-8 años): 118/79 inmHg (9-10) y 122/80mmHg (11-12). Niñas: 113/74 mmHg (6-8 años): 118/77mmHg(9-10)y 122/79mmHg(11-12). RESULTADOS: La prevalencia 1- ITA es de¡ 3.37%. Siendo más frecuente en el rango de edades comprendidas entre los 6y 8 años, correspondiendo a un 74.29% de los hipertensos. Las medias de TA para el grupo de hipertensos son: a) varones: 122.92 mmHg ± 4.1 1/78.43mrnHg ± 5.19: b) mujeres: 123.63 mrnHg ± 7.43/ 80.221nmHg ± 2. No existen diferencias significativas al nivel del 5% (á = 0.05) entre sexos. A 597 (58%) estudiantes nunca se les había tomado la tensión arterial. CONCLUSIONES: La prevalencia de HTA en Cipolletti es similar a las estadísticas internacionales. Hay un número de niños hipertensos que no se detectan en la consulta debido a la falta de institucionalización de la toma de la tensión arterial.

Seven enzyme loci were analyzed in three natural populations of Crassostrea angulata located on the southern Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula. Two of the populations showed distinct levels of contamination by heavy metals, whereas the third was not contaminated and served as control. These seven loci were shown to be very variable in terms of the number of alleles, polymorphism and average heterozygosity. The Lap and Mdh1 loci presented null alleles. A significant positive correlation was found between the number of alleles and the concentration of iron that was fitted to a model of linear regression. However, this correlation was negative for the heterozygosity, and significant for cadmium and zinc. The Em, Lap, Mdh1 and Xdh loci showed a deficit of heterozygotes in all the populations. The values of heterozygotic deficit (D) were statistically significant between the contaminated populations and the control for Mdh1 and very close to a significant level for Em. In Pgm, a heterozygotic excess appeared in the control population and a deficit, which was correlated to the increased levels of metal concentration, occurred in the other two populations. The differences between the D values of the three populations were also significant in this locus. Positive, negative and significant relationships were obtained between the concentration of metals and some alleles of the Em, Lap and Pgm loci. Also, the homozygotic genotypes of the alleles with positive correlation values were selected in the contaminated areas, while the heterozygotes were more favoured in the control population, showing an adaptive behavior and corroborating the utility of some of these loci as biomarkers in studies of population dynamics in areas subjected to environmental contamination.

Este artículo analiza el sistema agrícola de República Dominicana. Se pretende sugerir una respuesta a la pregunta sobre la naturaleza esencial de la agricultura en el suelo dominicano. Para hacer este análisis se requiere un examen histórico, pero también se precisa del estudio del desarrollo rural, así como de la conjugación de ciertos factores económicos y educativos. En términos más simples, hay que tomar en cuenta el curso histórico de la sociedad rural y los cambios operados en su estructura y en su cultura.

Este artículo presenta la metodología utilizada a partir de datos fragmentarios contenidos en la encuesta sobre presupuestos familiares realizada en 1969 por el Banco Central de la República Dominicana. Presenta, además, en detalle la determinación de los patrones alimenticios de la población de Santo Domingo. La metodología del estudio cubre dos aspectos: primero, la reconstrucción de la dieta y de su aporte de nutrientes; y segundo, el perfil alimenticio que se deriva De ella. Por otra parte, dicha metodología sirvió para detectar, en la determinación de la dieta, las preferencias de bienes y su aporte nutritivo; así como un perfil del estado de bienestar de la población estudiada. Relacionado con esto, uno de los hechos relevantes que surge del análisis es la racionalidad en el consumo de nutrientes por parte de la población dominicana de escasos recursos.

Scotus claims that Christ's human nature depends on the second person of the Trinity (he describes a relationship of dependence that a nature, as communicable, has on its suppositum) in a way analogous to that in which an accident depends on a substance. He also claims that Christ's human accidents depend on Christ's human nature. This article addresses whether or not these dependence relations are transitive, and concludes that Scotus denied the transitivity of such dependence relations in order to bring him closer to Zwingli’s view -not Luther’s-, regarding the Christological question. Resumen: Escoto declara que la naturaleza humana de Cristo depende, como comunicable, de la segunda figura trinitaria, en modo semejante a la dependencia del accidente respecto a la sustancia. Sostiene asimismo que las inherencias a esa naturaleza dependen de su suppositum. Este artículo deniega a tales dependencias el carácter transitivo que asiste a algunas relaciones de predicación sobre la teórica no autosuficiencia objetiva de la naturaleza, acercando la posición de Escoto a la de Zwinglio.

Using the travel writing of six Americans in their teens who went to Europe between WWI and WWII, this article argues that broader trends of mass tourism, such as travel’s extension beyond European elite and inclusion of women, intersected with Americans’ preoccupation with youth and youth culture in the interwar years. First, an examination of publications aimed at middle-class Americans demonstrates that contemporaries saw travel as a way to mitigate anxieties about youth, nationalism, and internationalism. Then, a close reading of the youths’ writing reveals that as young American women growing up in a period in which anxieties about youth and young women’s sexuality were high, their gender and age were crucial to how they made sense of their social and political experiences abroad.

This article is a study of the many 'colors' of love in Niẓāmī Ganjavī's Haft paykar (The Seven Figures), with special attention paid to the (evidently) dichotomous poles of white (purity) and black (concupiscence). The argument is divided into four sections: after introducing the Haft paykar and summarizing some of the scholarship that has been done to crack the code of its color symbolism, I survey these thematic poles as they occur in several landmark medical, philosophical, and poetic texts of Islamic tradition. This provides the basis for an in-depth discussion of the Stories of the Black and White Domes in the Haft paykar, where I observe how the two episodes, when read from this context, seem to support a linear progression from 'black' love to 'white,' with the latter presumably marking the point of apotheosis. In the final section, however, I consider how the stories resist such a straightforward reading, and indeed recursively feed into each other in such a way to suggest that neither color of love can fully exist or function without the other. I propose that the contrast of white and black in the Haft paykar is not sufficiently read as a static dichotomy of symbols; it rather evokes a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that hints at a reality beyond the sum of its parts, a pre-prismatic totality of which all colors of love are merely those refractions visible to the naked eye.

Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning, and Equity (SCALE) provided a commentary on the manuscripts in the first part of this special issue, which highlighted the benefits of edTPA and the necessity for such assessment programs to improve teacher education and strengthen teaching practices. In turn, the authors responded to the SCALE commentary. The authors’ responses raise concerns about equity, fairness, and unintended consequences of teacher performance assessments. These responses highlight the need for continued dialogue on ways to improve teacher education and strengthen the teaching profession.

This article explores the intersection of selves and policies for teacher educators in an era of teacher education reform. Borne out of a promise to one another to write about our experiences navigating increasingly complex market-driven, neoliberal attacks on our work and world, we collected data across several years that documented our attempt to break our silence (Lorde, 1977) and explore how we, as teacher educators, make sense of neoliberal reforms and policies in teacher preparation. We draw specifically on Dunn’s theory of the Hydra of Teacher Education (2016), alongside literature on reforms and policies in teacher preparation and teacher educators’ forms of resistance to frame our work, and utilize arts-based poetic inquiry methodology (Prendergast, 2009; Rath, 2001) to explore the real, everyday implications of educational policy in our lives and in our careers. The poems we created as a “performative act” (Prendergast, 2009, p. xxiii) revealed that our experiences seemed to follow a cycle from hopelessness, to silence, to acquiescence, to collective resistance. We look carefully at this last portion of the cycle in our work, wondering how, if at all, teacher educators can resist the neoliberalization of teacher preparation. We conclude with implications for research, policy, and the practice of teacher education as we write to understand, write to resist, and write to survive.

This second issue of Interfaces: A Journal fo Medieval European Literatures addresses the subject of "The Theory and Phenomenology of Love." It brings together readings of medieval representations and explanations of love as an affection, passion, sentiment, attraction, or tension, with work on the connections between literary discourses of love and the history both of emotions and gender roles. Approaching the subject of the nature of love, and the ways it manifests itself, the authors create links between scientific and poetic discourse and highlight the relationship between the experiences of love, described and treated in literary texts, and the specific historical, cultural, and social environments in which those texts were produced. Not only do the articles reach original results within their fields; taken as a whole, the dossier, ranging as it does from the Late Antiquity to the fifteenth century, and across a Europe situated within a wider Eurasian space, offers deep insights into social history, the history of emotions, and the study of gender and sexuality.

Este artículo es resultado de una investigación cualitativa sobre procesos de organización y movilización territorial comenzada en 2001. La vinculación política de los sectores populares ha sido objeto de indagación desde la transición democrática. Esta cuestión ha sido abordada, principalmente, desde dos enfoques: uno atribuye una correspondencia inmediata entre demandas expresadas públicamente y los motivos individuales para movilizarse y el otro sostiene la alienación absoluta entre tales demandas y los motivos individuales de los/as participantes. A partir del estudio de dos relatos de vida, observamos que la vinculación política deja huellas que se expresan en los modos en que los sujetos articulan sus experiencias. Esto es, en el modo en que dan sentido a sus percepciones, simbolizan actuaciones propias y atribuidas y sustentan sus expectativas. Desde este enfoque, la pregunta acerca de los motivos para la participación política pierde relevancia y con ella las interpretaciones reificantes sobre los vínculos políticos.Este artigo é o resultado de uma pesquisa qualitativa sobre os processos de organização e mobilização territorial iniciada em 2001. Desde a década de 80 a análise das conexões políticas dos setores populares, duas abordagens têm sido predominante, alternativamente: aqueles que conferem uma correspondência imediata entre as demandas coletivas e interesses particulares, e aqueles que supõem a alienação completa entre tais demandas e as motivações individuais dos participantes. A partir do estudo de duas histórias de vida, notamos que a abordagem das relações políticas a traves do conceito de experiência permite entender que a consciência sobre as injustiças sociais sofridas ou o direito de reclamar o Estado não é previa a construção dês laços políticos, mas uma de suas conseqüências. Assim, a questão sobre os motivos para a participação e interpretações retificação em laços políticos perde sua relevância.This article is the result of a qualitative inquiry started on 2001, whose principal interest was the study of territorially-based process of social organization and mobilization. From the eighties, is possible to find two main approaches in the study of political bonds in the underclass: those which suppose the perfect matching between public demands and individual reasons for political involving and those which sustain an absolute alienation between those demands and participants' individual interests. From the study of two life stories, we observe that political participation leaves traces on the way how subjects articulate their experiences. That is to say, in the way how they give sense to their past and present attitudes and perceptions and in the manner they anticipate their future. This point of view let us overcome the interrogation about reasons that explain political mobilization and its related reifying interpretations about construction of the political rapports.

In this paper we seriously entertain the question, “Is maternal deprivation the root of all evil?” Our consideration of this question is broken down into three parts. In the fi rst part, we discuss the nature of evil, focusing in particular on the legal concept of depravity. In the second part, we discuss the nurture of evil, focusing in particular on the common developmental trajectory seen in those who are depraved. In the third part, we discuss the roots of evil, focusing in particular on the animal and human research regarding maternal deprivation. Our conclusion is that maternal deprivation may actually be the root of all evil, but only because depraved individuals have been deprived of normative maternal care, which is the cradle of our humanity.
