Effective water resources management is crucial for the sustainable development of the province of Manabí. The importance of evaluating existing models and institutional changes in the search for efficient water resource management is highlighted. The objective of this research is to analyze the relevance of water resource management agencies in the development of the Province of Manabí, considering previous models and institutional changes. A qualitative study was carried out using documentary and bibliographic methods, applying the analytical-synthetic approach, involving the review of government documents, technical reports and data on water management. An exhaustive search was implemented in academic sources and interviews with experts and members of local communities. The analysis was based on 25 documents selected with specific criteria, supported by a documentary analysis matrix and an interview questionnaire. The results are based on the continuity in water management models in Manabí, with institutional changes in the National Secretariat of Water (SENAGUA) and merger with the Ministry of Environment. Achievements and challenges are identified, highlighting the importance of community participation and the need to assess the institutional impact of these transformations. The SENAGUA-Ministry of the Environment merger has generated both positive aspects and challenges in water management. The importance of complying with the institutional competencies established in laws and regulations is highlighted. The relevance of the Political Constitution of the State in water management in Manabí is underlined as a key factor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the processes of occupation of rural space, the norms given from the Territorial Planning have prevailed, which allows the advancement of urban land, in the face of the decline of rural land. This article presents a reflection of the processes of appropriation of the territory from the perspective of rural settings through these case studies, based on the conceptual reflection on rurality and governance. Through qualitative and quantitative methods, documentary techniques, review of primary sources, technical reports from cars, and secondary (carried out in the period from 2006 to 2020). Among the main results, a marked polarity is observed in environmental management in governmental and territorial institutions, a derogatory sense towards the protection of rural soil in both cases, for this reason it is necessary to generate regulatory processes and management in the pursuit of rural soil protection.

Objective: to review the existing literature where we inquired for injury types or illness identified in victims of improvised explosive devices (IED), and also to look for individual and collective processes described in literature in relation with the protection or destruction of human's health and IEDs. Methodology: exploratory systematic review of the literature published on PubMed, SciELO, LILACS, JSTOR, OpenGrey and Google Scholar databases between 2001 and 2022, in any geographic location. We included research, review and opinion articles, books and book chapters reporting research results, and final technical reports in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese. Results: 76 documents met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Multiple types of injuries have been reported in relation with the use of IEDs, without a characteristic pattern of injury or disease reported; however, the most common injury is bilateral lower limb amputation. In survivors it has been found that affected military personnel tend to show greater resilience capacity, better quality of life, timely treatment, and higher functional physical capacity, compared to civilians. Social support generates positive health effects and wellness of people affected by IED. Conclusion: IEDs generate multiple effects on human health, both physical and psychosocial, which is why comprehensive and multidisciplinary care is required for the treatment, rehabilitation, and reintegration of their victims. The protective and destructive processes identified are associated with better or worse health outcomes, with unequal representation between civilians and military personnel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Cardiac traumatic injuries are serious injuries with a high lethality rate, an aspect that influences the interest shown by readers each time they appear reported in scientific publications. Sometimes there is a certain degree of inconsistency when it comes to establishing the historical origin of occurrences or events related to the history of medicine. In the case of penetrating cardiac trauma, different origins have been described in some of the published scientific articles, which may generate a degree of doubt in the readers. Methods: A review of the medical and non-medical literature was carried out to seek information that would help to clarify the true historical origin of this entity. Results: Penetrating cardiac trauma was first described in a Greek work entitled The Iliad, written by Homer in the 8th century B.C., and not in The Surgical Papyrus of Edwin Smith as several authors mention. Conclusions. Of all the events of penetrating cardiac trauma described, the most irrefutable is the one narrated in canto XIII, where it recounts the death of Alcathous product of a cardiac wound caused by a spear thrown by Idomeneo during a battle.

The integration of the application of organic fertilization and safety for health from the point of view of food quality in the agro-industrial process, has been little studied in research and reported in scientific and non-scientific publications, which is currently becoming a problem for the health of our country and why not, for the world, due to the deficit and high costs of mineral fertilizers and the inappropriate use of water and residual products. The objective of this work is to expose the results of investigations carried out with swine residuals and sediments from reservoirs with vegetable crops under organoponic conditions, demonstrating the effectiveness and safety of these two residuals, used as a substrate in organoponic, to which chemical and microbiological analyzes were carried out to verify their use as organic fertilizers. The organic residuals from pig farms are rich in organic matter and appreciable amounts of mineral elements (N, P, K, Ca and Mg). The sediments have to be combined with organic fertilizers due to their low nutrient content compared to pig residuals. These results are of great importance from the social, environmental and safety point of view, risk reduction and prevention of food borne diseases, due to the positive effect of effluents and sediments in terms of soil preservation, its use as an organic substrate, and its safety due to the absence of pathogenic organisms.

Serum biochemistry and hematological values are used to determine the outcome of diseases in both animals and humans. In the presented scientific report, hematological and biochemical findings were defined in the cat, which was shaped as three mummified fetuses. A 12-month-old cat, which was mated 38 days ago, was brought to the Kastamonu University Veterinary Faculty Obstetrics and Gynecology Clinic with complaints of vomiting, anorexia, and polydipsia. After the preliminary clinical examination, it was observed in the ultrasonographic examination that the fetus had no heartbeat and the hyperechoic areas increased. The mummified fetus was diagnosed. Fetal mummification is occasional in cats and has been reported. Blood samples were taken for serum biochemistry and hematological analysis. Considering that serum biochemistry and hematological analyzes are important in cases of mummified fetuses in cats, this case report is presented. However, both hematological and biochemical parameters were within the reference ranges. Ovariohysterectomy was performed under general anesthesia. Seven days after the surgery, the wound from the operation was completely healed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The High Court of Justice of Cantabria has dismissed a complaint from an environmental association against the population control activity of the wolf carried out by the Directorate General of Natural Environment. The court argues that the authorizations for wolf population control comply with established administrative procedures. However, a dissenting opinion questions the environmental classification of the species and the compatibility of hunting activity with wolf conservation. The ruling states that the Iberian wolf should not be classified as a protected species, but wolf hunting must be compatible with species conservation, and measures must be taken to prevent hunting during breeding and rearing periods. Additionally, the ruling criticizes the lack of adequate and motivated technical reports on the lethal control of wolves in administrative authorizations. As a result, wolf hunting authorizations are annulled in several cases due to the illegal actions of the regional administration. [Extracted from the article]

The Judgment of the Superior Court of Justice of Castilla y León declares null Decree 10/2018 that modifies Decree 32/2015 on the conservation of hunting species in Castilla y León. The nullity is due to the fact that it was issued after the annulment of a mandatory report from the consultative collegiate body established by the Hunting Law. Additionally, it is pointed out that the right to participation and the principle of transparency have been violated by not providing the advisory body members with the scientific reports that support the decree. The article also mentions an appeal filed before the Regional Council of the Environment regarding the annulment of an Annual Hunting Order, arguing the lack of binding nature of the report issued by the Council and the lack of technical and scientific studies supporting the hunting of certain species. Furthermore, the lack of transparency and access to public information in the process is raised. The Judgment of the Superior Court of Justice of Castilla y León annuls several provisions of a decree that created and regulated the Regional Council of the Environment of Castilla y León due to an alleged violation of the right to citizen participation. The disputed issue focuses on the validity of subsequent acts that require the intervention of the Council, and whether the annulling judgment retroactively affects those acts. The majority judgment considers that the nullity extends to the challenged decree, while the dissenting opinion argues that the nullity does not apply retroactively to previous acts that had not become final.

The objective of the article is to characterize the social intervention of the State during the Cambiemos government from the start of the "Make the Future" Program. In this sense, the work presents the results of a technical report where both the formal and regulatory aspects, as well as the implementation process of the aforementioned program, between 2018-2019, were analyzed. It is a qualitative approach that was made viable based on discourse analysis, in function of which a formulation of poverty as the "locus" of the social issues emerges as the main conclusion and an adoption of the state's approach that sought to build an articulating scaffold between the market perspective and government management of aid.

The blue land crab Cardisoma guanhumi is a species of commercial interest and is being harvested for human consumption. It is distributed throughout the Caribbean from the Antilles to the southern part in Venezuela and Colombia, with also records in Brazil. The first studies of this crab in Colombia date back to the early 1970s, which focused on biological and ecological aspects. Population studies in the Colombian Caribbean started in 2000, but they are scarce, and some are not published. For San Andrés Island, the Gulf of Urabá, and the Magdalena department, two studies have been done for each one, and for the three studies one is published, and the other is not. Of the unpublished studies, two correspond to graduate studies (Urabá and Magdalena) and one to a technical report (San Andrés). For the Guajira department, there is a published article that mentions some aspects of this crab population. For the department of Atlántico, there is a technical report. Regarding the department of Córdoba, there are two theses. The departments of Bolivar and Antioquia have three studies each. Most of these studies contain information about the sizes and weights of the blue land crab, and some of them also have information on the population density via burrow count. The largest average sizes and weights have been recorded on the island of San Andrés. The highest average population densities have been recorded for Bahía Concha in the department of Magdalena and the lowest for the department of Bolívar in the Corregimiento La Boquilla.

The aim of this paper is to discuss conceptualizations regarding drainage basin management and spatial planning, later to inquire how these viewpoints influence the instruments and institutions that currently guide the development of such areas in the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires (RMBA, Región Metropolitana de Buenos Aires). In terms of methodology, we collated and analyzed the most representative instruments and institutions which influence the RMBA, including specific bibliography, technical reports and official websites. The results show that the traditional conceptualization of both spatial planning and drainage basin management still predominate. In addition, the diverse instruments consulted do not seem to properly attend to the environmental and spatial complexity of the RMBA, given the latter's multiple jurisdictions and the high degree of normative dispersion.

Genres written by students have received significant attention due to its diversity of functions in subject learning. Thus, the present article is framed within the study field of academic genres in Spanish. The aim of this research is to identify, define and characterize genres of the 'technical report' family to understand its educational role in civil engineering and in the processes of professional-academic literacy in this field. The study adopts a qualitative approach, specifically from the discourse genre theory and explores the technical report macrogenre in computer science civil engineering (MGITEC, for its acronym in Spanish) in the student corpus HÉLICE-2017. This genre family is highly relevant in the academic discourse of civil engineering and in the subdiscipline computer science. Results of the text corpus analysis reveal a great diversity of genre resources used in this community of practice. In consequence, a continuum of discourse genres was identified based on the collected data, from reports of academic insertion to reports of professional context. Different types of reports are displayed in this continuum. These reports meet relevant educational purposes when it comes to using analytical, critical and creative thinking for problem solving: the raison d'être of engineering. Finally, this piece of research makes it possible to define relations between genres in the academic writing of reports and to provide didactic strategies for subject literacy in engineering.

The ruling of the Superior Court of Justice of the Canary Islands on June 17, 2021 addresses the case of an appeal against a Decree of the City Council of Santa Cruz de Tenerife that declared a violation of the rights to personal and family privacy and the inviolability of the home due to noise pollution generated by a hospitality establishment. The ruling highlights that the local administration is acting to protect the rights of those affected and that the option of adopting alternative measures to the closure of the establishment does not cause serious harm, unless proven otherwise. The importance of having technical reports issued by competent professionals to support the measures taken is emphasized. [Extracted from the article]

Liolaemus represents the most diverse group of saurians in South America. The species of this genus, inhabit different ecosystems characterized by their endemism, whose taxonomic knowledge increased from 1837 to date, mainly in Argentina and Chile, while in the Plurinational State of Bolivia (Bolivia) the taxonomic and phylogenetic knowledge of the genus began to have relevance from 2002 to date, properly guiding the real wealth that the country has. However, in Bolivia, studies of population density, diet and reproduction began to be reported in the 1980s, studies of potential distribution began in 2007 and those related to thermal ecology began in 2015. There is no doubt that taxonomic studies are strengthening the knowledge of the genus in Bolivia, which allows a precise understanding of the areas of endemism, in1portant for biogeographic analysis or modeling studies of potential distribution of species, thus prioritizing their conservation status. The lack of a comparative and taxonomic review of the specimens deposited in scientific collections and the lack of information in areas where no prospecting was carried out throughout the distribution of the genus in Bolivia, prolonged for a long time the description of species that are waiting to be formally reported to the scientific community and society, and then face studies in different disciplines. This work presents an update of the genus Liolaemus richness in Bolivia, emphasizing the main works and advances in the last eighteen years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present work a study is carried out to validate a new pressure gradient model using a semi-industrial hydrotransport facility, with the use of crude lateritic slurry at a temperature of 27 °C and a concentration of solids by weight of 41,93%. Pressure drop experiments were carried out in a straight section of horizontal pipe in order to validate the model. As main results, a new theoretical pressure gradient model is obtained for cylindrical and horizontal pipes, in laminar flow regime, with a Herschel-Bulkley rheological behavior of the fluid; the error percentage does not exceed 0,98%, being more precise taking as reference the results reported in technical literature.
