A discinesia ou acinesia da câmara cardíaca ventricular esquerda de característica aguda e transitória, acometendo principalmente mulheres pós-menopausadas e/ou submetidas a estresse físico ou emocional e é conhecida como Síndrome de Takotsubo. Relata-se aqui o caso de uma mulher de 48 anos que sofreu queda em um poço de 12 metros de profundidade e nos primeiros dias de hospitalização, em eletrocardiograma, observou-se inversão de onda T, o ecocardiograma mostrou contratilidade segmentar alterada de ventrículo esquerdo, além de elevação dos níveis de marcadores cardíacos. No nono dia de internação, a paciente recebeu alta devido a melhora de seu quadro geral e a normalização da função cardíaca vista em ecocardiograma. A Síndrome do Balonamento Apical, como também é conhecida, mimetiza infarto agudo do miocárdio (IAM) e para descartar a presença de doenças coronarianas agudas, realizou-se cateterismo, que mostrou ausência de lesão obstrutiva coronariana.

Technical communication is an extremely important soft skill for civil engineers at the workplace. Due to globalization trends this technical communication often should be performed in English. If we join the fact that undergraduate engineering programs in Spain have been taught exclusively in Spanish, with which in addition, in rare cases those programs provide intentionally placed discipline-specific technical communication experiences, this all amounts to a major problem, regarded as an obstacle that limit undergraduates’ opportunities to work abroad. Aware of this problem, some schools provide their students with a brief course on “Technical English”. However, this course does not cover all the skills that the student would need in the labour market, such as speaking and listening abilities. This paper promotes an innovative teaching methodology that allows Spanish Civil Engineering students to hone English communication skills through “Lunch&Movies” sessions. In each session a documentary about technical Civil Engineering topics is shown. After the screening, students work in small inter-cohort groups with a guiding lecturer. These groups debate on different questions related to the video, encouraging participation, and fostering their self-confidence to talk about technical English topics in public. Different surveys were developed to demonstrate the students’ interest in learning technical English, and to evaluate the benefit for the attendees and their achievements. The results show that the students are conscious of the importance of technical English for their future careers, and most of them improved their initial level as the sessions progressed and they gained confidence in the foreign language. Also, through a pilot subject in English, it was demonstrated that the participants of the “Lunch&Movies” sessions obtained better oral qualifications than those who did not participate. In fact, the overall results indicated that Lunch & Movie sessions can improve students' technical oral skills as well as their own perceptions of their abilities.

COMMENTS: Unlike the holotype, some female paratypes have lighter body pubes- cence and the integument largely dark reddish brown with more metallic bluish or greenish highlights on the head, mesosoma, and metasomal terga. This species has been collected between 2000 and 2500 m elevation in the Central Andes of Colombia. It appears to be present year-round, as specimens have been cap- tured from January through August. ETYMOLOGY: This species honors Mr. Mark Douglas Comfort (6 August 1962 – 24 November 2014). Doug was a courageous, resilient, smart, kind, and gifted man, who was a lifelong musician and songwriter. He was a committed member of the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Salina, Kansas, who strongly advocated for healthy, purposeful, and active living. Doug is survived by his wife Louise and two sons, Kane and Lucas, his father Dave, and siblings Mike, Mitch, Jeff, and Julie. “Uncle Doug” is sorely missed., Published as part of Gonzalez, Victor H., Velez-Ruiz, Rita I. & Engel, Michael S., 2014, A new paracolletine bee from Colombia (Hymenoptera: Colletidae), with an updated checklist of the tropical Andean bee fauna, pp. 1-26 in Journal of Melitology 2014 (43) on pages 3-12, DOI: 10.17161/jom.v0i43.4812, http://zenodo.org/record/8132191, {"references":["Michener, C.

COMMENTS: Unlike the holotype, some female paratypes have lighter body pubes- cence and the integument largely dark reddish brown with more metallic bluish or greenish highlights on the head, mesosoma, and metasomal terga. This species has been collected between 2000 and 2500 m elevation in the Central Andes of Colombia. It appears to be present year-round, as specimens have been cap- tured from January through August. ETYMOLOGY: This species honors Mr. Mark Douglas Comfort (6 August 1962 – 24 November 2014). Doug was a courageous, resilient, smart, kind, and gifted man, who was a lifelong musician and songwriter. He was a committed member of the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Salina, Kansas, who strongly advocated for healthy, purposeful, and active living. Doug is survived by his wife Louise and two sons, Kane and Lucas, his father Dave, and siblings Mike, Mitch, Jeff, and Julie. “Uncle Doug” is sorely missed.

The creation of the Provincial Historical Archives in century XX, organizations that arise to compile the notarial documentation, and the new administrative configuration, through the creation of the independent communities, supposes the establishment of centers in which documents of public faith of century XV with those generated by the delegated Administration coexist. The evaluation of the archives, centers denostados in the cultural policies of the public Administration, demonstrates the utility of these companies for the institution to which they belong and for the promotion of the investigation of a society. Also necessity of safeguard it of performances of Administration public, facilities for recovery and information dissemination which they offer to its technologies and the possibility of having the world like client power, including those towns that do not enjoy the history that has one of the first continents populated and civilized of our world, make of the powerful studies of users tools that inform on these consumers of information and would make possible to open the doors of one of the more elitist cultural centers in this society of the well-being, that has of the cultural levels more democratizados of history. To the thread of the previous arguments, this article takes care of the Provincial Historical Archives and their users through a study of cases in the Provincial Historical File of Jaén into which it inquires like waiting room to the establishment of the profile of his investigators, majority customer of this institution. La creación de los Archivos Históricos Provinciales en el siglo XX, entidades que surgen para recopilar la documentación notarial, y la nueva configuración administrativa, a través de la creación de las comunidades autónomas, suponen el establecimiento de centros en los que coexisten documentos de fe pública del siglo XV con aquéllos generados por la Administración delegada. La evaluación de los archivos, centros denostados en las políticas culturales de la Administración pública, evidencia la utilidad de estas empresas para la institución a la que pertenecen y para el fomento de la investigación de una sociedad. Asimismo la necesidad de la salvaguarda de las actuaciones de la Administración pública, las facilidades para la recuperación y difusión de información que brindan sus tecnologías y la posibilidad de tener el mundo como cliente potencial, incluyendo aquellos pueblos que no gozan de la historia que posee uno de los primeros continentes poblados y civilizados de nuestro mundo, hacen de los estudios de usuarios poderosas herramientas que informan sobre estos consumidores de información y posibilitarían abrir las puertas de uno de los centros culturales más elitistas en esta sociedad del bienestar, que posee unos de los niveles culturales más democratizados de la historia. Al hilo de los anteriores argumentos, este artículo se ocupa de los Archivos Históricos Provinciales y de sus usuarios a través de un estudio de casos en el Archivo Histórico Provincial de Jaén del que se nforma como antesala al establecimiento del perfil de sus investigadores, clientela mayoritaria de esta institución.
