Reflexionamos sobre las tesis de Fals Borda acerca del accionar político de los movimientos sociales en nuestros países, reflexión clave en este momento en que los canales de organización política están siendo interpelados. La democracia directa ejercida por los actores sociales movilizados cuestiona la democracia representativa. Proponemos una evolución del pensamiento de Fals, que si bien lo llevó en un momento de su reflexión a plantear que los movimientos sociales pudieran reemplazar a los partidos políticos y darle una nueva dinámica a la política que superara las deficiencias históricas de partidos oligárquicos, clientelistas y generadores de violencia, posteriormente desistió de dicho planteamiento, sólo que insistiendo en el papel político de los movimientos sociales.

ZusammenfassungBeschrieben werden die magnetresonanztomographischen Befunde bei einem 10 Jahre alten Border Collie mit operativ bestätigter isolierter Ruptur des hinteren Kreuzbandes. Die Befunde beinhalteten die komplette Ruptur des kaudalen Kreuzbandes, eine wahrscheinliche “Bone-Bruise”-Läsion in der proximolateralen Tibia und einen Muskelfaserriss im Ursprung des M. flexor digitorum lateralis. In der Humanmedizin werden “Bone-Bruise”-Läsionen herangezogen, um die Mechanismen von Bandschäden bei Traumata erklären zu können. Im beschriebenen Fall lässt sich anhand der magnetresonanztomographischen Befunde nachvollziehen, wie es zur seltenen isolierten Ruptur des kaudalen Kreuzbandes bei dem Hund kam.

Es gehört zur Natur eines philosophischen Klassikers, dass er immer wieder neu interpretiert werden muss. Im Fall von Nietzsche reichen die Revisionen aber weiter. Nicht nur die Bedeutung, sondern auch der Wortlaut seiner Philosophie ist umstritten, was dazu führt, dass neue Interpreationenen nach neuen Editionen verlangen - und umgekehrt. Zuletzt haben der Basler Stroemfeld und der Göttinger Seidl Verlag je eine weiter Nietzsche-Ausgabe angekündigt. Jedes Wort, das der Philosoph auf Papier hinterlassen hat, ist längst transkribiert, historisch-kritisch kommentiert und mehrfach editert worden. Und dennoch sind die Herausgeber der neuen Ausgaben der Meinung, der echte Nietzsche sei uns über hundert Jahre nach seinem Tod noch immer unbekannt.

Full textAbstract:
As Coale notes, over the long run human societies have been successful at maintaining a balance between population growth rates and economic resources. This has not been easy: some societies became extinct through overwhelming mortality or by failing to reproduce themselves, while others have burgeoned and outstripped their territories. Even at the end of the twentieth century, a hundred years after the onset of the demographic transition in Europe which transformed human birth and death rates forever, achieving the balance which creates homeostasis remains problematic. In east Asia alone, while the People's Republic of China is trying to bring the expected number of births per woman below 2.0, Japan is attempting the opposite, to raise the total fertility rate above its current level of 1.6. The same contests are being played out in developing and developed societies throughout the world. Thus creating a balance between birth and death rates and linking it to economic conditions so that a society neither outruns its economic resources nor fails to exploit them is a perduring human problem.

Full textAbstract:
1. The time-course of the age-related decline in specific muscle force (maximum voluntary force per cross-sectional area) in men and women was determined by measuring the maximum voluntary force and cross-sectional area of the adductor pollicis muscle in 273 subjects aged 17–90 years (176 men, 30 premenopausal women and 67 peri- or post-menopausal women who were not receiving hormone replacement therapy). 2. To determine whether the loss of specific muscle force is hormone-dependent in women, we studied a further 25 women, aged 42–72 years, who were receiving hormone replacement therapy. 3. There was no significant difference in specific force between young men and pre-menopausal women. Around the time of the menopause there was a dramatic decline in specific force in women which was prevented by the use of hormone replacement therapy. In men the weakness started later (around the age of 60 years) and the decline in specific force was more gradual, reaching the level seen in postmenopausal women after the age of 75 years. 4. The protective effect of hormone replacement therapy on muscle strength is likely to be an important contributory factor to its proven action in preventing osteoporotic fractures. The dramatic peri-menopausal decline in muscle strength is a likely explanation for the known increases in falls and Colles’ fractures around the time of the menopause.

Full textAbstract:
ZusammenfassungEin 2-jähriger Bearded Collie wurde nach präskrotaler Kastration mit dem Verdacht auf ein Hämoabdomen vorgestellt. Zum Zeitpunkt der Vorstellung war der Zustand des Hundes stabil und der Hämatokrit befand sich im Referenzbereich. Die sonographische Untersuchung zeigte im Abdomen eine moderate Menge an freier korpuskulärer Flüssigkeit, weshalb der Hund für eine laparoskopische Operation vorbereitet wurde. Im Bereich des Nabels wurde ein sogenannter „Single Port Access” durchgeführt, gefolgt von der Insufflation mit CO2 bei einem initialen Druck von 8 mmHg. Nach der Entfernung von ca. einem Liter Blut aus dem Abdomen mittels einer laparoskopischen Absaugvorrichtung waren die Inguinalkanäle einsehbar. Die Laparoskopie ermöglichte hier eine exzellente Darstellung der Inguinalkanäle mit den entsprechenden Gefäßen, die mithilfe eines Instruments zur Gefäßversiegelung verschlossen wurden. Der Hund erholte sich problemlos von der Operation und der postoperative Verlauf war komplikationslos. Der Fallbericht zeigt, dass sich bei einem Rüden mit Hämoabdomen nach präskrotaler Kastration eine laparoskopische Therapie durchführen lässt und diese in den Händen eines Chirurgen mit Erfahrung in minimalinvasiver Chirurgie als alternative Behandlungsmethode angesehen werden kann. Mit der Erfahrung bei diesem Fall stellt sich die Frage, ob ein Hämoabdomen in Zukunft nicht mehr als absolute Kontraindikation für eine Laparoskopie angesehen werden sollte, sondern nur eine relative Kontraindikation darstellt.

Full textAbstract:
Zusammenfassung: Gegenstand und Ziel: Es werden Symptomatik und Verlauf einer Ivermectin-Vergiftung bei Hunden beschrieben, die durch die Aufnahme von Pferde-Wurmpaste (Ivomec P®, Deutschland bzw. Eqvalan®, Schweiz) verursacht wurde. Material und Methode: Dokumentation von drei Fällen. Ergebnisse: Zwei Hunde besaßen ein intaktes MDR1-Gen, während ein Hund von dem MDR1-Gen-Defekt betroffen war. Dementsprechend entwickelte sich eine unterschiedliche Symptomatik. Das klinische Leitsymptom bei den Hunden mit intaktem MDR1-Gen war eine symmetrische Mydriasis verbunden mit einer Visuseinschränkung bzw. vorübergehendem Visusverlust. Daneben wurden unkontrollierte Muskelzuckungen im Kopfbereich beobachtet. Eine ähnliche Symptomatik würde man bei einer oralen Einzeldosis von etwa 2,5–5 mg Ivermectin/kg Körpergewicht erwarten. Ein homozygot von dem MDR1-Gen-Defekt betroffener Collie (Fall 3) zeigte eine wesentlich gravierendere Symptomatik: Mydriasis, Apathie, Tremor und Hypersalivation, Koma mit krampfartigen Phasen begleitet von Schreien. Ein derartiger Verlauf wäre bei einem Hund mit homozygotem MDR1-Defekt nach einer oralen Einzeldosis von etwa 150–300 µg/kg KM zu erwarten. Schlussfolgerung: Für Hunde mit intaktem MDR1-Gen verlaufen derartige Intoxikationen vergleichsweise harmlos und sind von kurzer Dauer, während Hunde mit homozygotem MDR1-Gen-Defekt bereits bei der Aufnahme geringer Mengen Ivermectin-Wurmpaste für Pferde in den letalen Dosisbereich (≥ 0,2 mg/kg KM) kommen. Klinische Relevanz: Vergiftungen mit Ivermectin-Pferdepaste beim Hund kommen gelegentlich vor und müssen bei auffälliger Mydriasis mit oder ohne Visuseinschränkung differenzialdiagnostisch in Betracht gezogen werden.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Uscito a pezzi dalla pesante crisi finanziaria e industriale del 1907, che aveva messo a nudo i limiti della struttura economica del Paese, il capitalismo industriale italiano elaborò un programma, portato avanti fino al primo dopoguerra, che prevedeva l’instaurazione di un governo di tecnocrati. Questo avrebbe dovuto trainare il Paese fuori dalla crisi, pianificarne l’economia e trasformarlo in una grande potenza industriale, con forti connotazioni imperialistiche. Segnali in tale direzione si erano registrati anche nei decenni precedenti, tra fine Ottocento e inizi Novecento, quando ebbe inizio un processo di concentrazione nel settore siderurgico e meccanico. Un percorso peraltro stimolato dalle commesse statali sempre più consistenti (Galli Della Loggia, 1970; Battilossi, 1999; Amatori e Colli, 1999; Bolchini, 2002). La crisi industriale e finanziaria del 1907 e la recessione a livello mondiale che ne seguì, accelerarono la soluzione tecnocratica, che prevedeva un’alleanza, più o meno stretta, con una parte della classe politica e l’entrata in guerra. Negli anni immediatamente seguenti il conflitto, il potere dei tecnocrati sulla scena politica italiana sembrò accrescersi notevolmente, soprattutto quando il governo progettò un programma di espansione economica nelle regioni del Caucaso, nei Balcani e nel Levante ex ottomano, territori in grado di fornire materie prime e di assorbire la produzione italiana in eccesso rispetto alle richieste di un mercato interno asfittico. La collaborazione tra mondo imprenditoriale, bancario e politico non produsse il risultato sperato. La caduta del governo Nitti e il ruolo destabilizzante e filotedesco della Banca Commerciale Italiana nell’Est europeo e nel Caucaso furono tra le cause principali che impedirono il decollo del progetto tecnocratico,<strong> </strong>provocando una dura reazione da parte dei fratelli Perrone alla guida del gruppo Ansaldo.</p><p>Heavily Weakened by the financial and industrial crisis of 1907, which showed all the limits of the economic structure of Italy, the Italian industrial capitalism developed a program that continued until the early after World War, which was taking into account the establishment of a government of technocrats.</p><p>This should had to take the country out of crisis, establish an economical plan and turn it into a major industrial power, with strong imperialist characteristics. Signals in this direction were also recorded in the previous decades, from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, when a process of concentration of the main groups of entrepreneurs and capitalists began in the steel and mechanical industry. A path anyway enhanced by more and more orders from the government (Galli Della Loggia, 1970; Battilossi, 1999; Amatori and Colli, 1999; Boldrini, 2002). The industrial and financial crisis of 1907 and the global recession that followed, accelerated the technocratic solution, which were looking for a more or less closer alliance, with a part of the political class and going into war. Soon after the war, the political power of the technocrats in Italy seemed to grow significantly, especially when the Government developed a program of economic expansion in the regions of the Caucasus, Balkans and on the countries of the ex East Ottoman, these territories could provide raw materials and, with respect of an internal market completely saturated, to absorb the exceeding Italian production. The collaboration within the world of business, banking and politics did not produce the desired result. The fall of the Nitti´s Government and the pro German and destabilizing role of the Italian Commercial Bank in Eastern Europe and on the Caucasus were the major drivers against the launch of the technocratic project, inducing a though reaction by the Perrone brothers leading the group Ansaldo.</p>

Full textAbstract:
The ruins of the La Colle Falls Hydro Dam encompass two very distinct topographies: the physical landscape of the vast Canadian Northwest, and the complex emotional terrain of the urban mythology of the city of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
In 1912 the city embarked on the ambitious project, building a dam and shipping lock on the North Saskatchewan River to supply the city with cheap and plentiful hydroelectric power and create a navigable inland shipping route from Winnipeg to Edmonton. The people of the community believed that it was poised to become a new commercial centre of the west, a key manufacturing and industrial metropolis. Instead, the project became an enormous and ruinous financial debacle that embarrassed the residents and crippled the urban growth of the city for nearly a century. Its failure, and the consequent suffering it brought permeate local legend to this day.
The solution to this negative residual memory exists in the hydro dam’s own genesis: the spiritual and functional significance of the North Saskatchewan River as a site of traditional Aboriginal healing and a crucial regional amenity. Unable to bridle the waters of the North Saskatchewan, the dam instead comprises a dramatic visual testimony to the effects of an enormous work of construction on the panoramic Saskatchewan landscape, and an ideal setting to address the interface of man, structure, and the human body in the natural world.
This thesis uses the ruins of the dam as a physical armature on which to construct a spa complex, an architectural insertion that will complete the dam, and present a positive alternative ending to its story. The spa is viewed as a place of intimate physical contact and remedial personal reflection that acknowledges the dramatic landscapes surrounding it, engages the senses, and simultaneously heals the bodies of the patrons while reconciling the latent negative historical memory of the original hydro dam project.

Full textAbstract:
Osteoporosis is characterized by a reduction in bone mass and disruption of bone architecture, resulting in increased bone fragility and fracture risk, with fractures of the distal radius (Colles’ fracture), spine, and proximal femur being most characteristic. One in two women and one in five men over the age of 50 years will suffer an osteoporotic fracture during their remaining lifetime, with massive cost to healthcare services. Osteoporotic fractures are termed fragility fractures (defined as occurring after a fall from standing height or less). They may occur at several skeletal sites but fractures of the distal radius (Colles’ fracture), spine, and proximal femur are most characteristic. The incidence of osteoporotic fractures increases markedly with age; in women, the median age for Colles’ fractures is 65 years and for hip fracture, 80 years.

Full textAbstract:
Study of the nanopulse bioeffects is important to ensure the appropriate application with nanopulse in biomedical and biotechnological settings. In this article, we develop an alternating-direction implicit (ADI) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) scheme coupled with the Cole-Cole expression for dielectric coefficients of biological tissues to simulate the electromagnetic fields inside the biological tissues when exposed to nanopulses. The scheme is then tested by numerical examples with two different biological tissues. Numerical results show that the proposed ADI-FDTD scheme breaks through the Courant, Friedrichs, and Lewy (CFL) stability condition and provides a stable solution with a larger time step, where the conventional FDTD scheme fails. Results also indicate that the computational time can be reduced when using a larger time step.

Full textAbstract:
The Chevrolet Small-Block engine was officially introduced to the public as one of the two engines in the 1955 Chevrolet passenger car. Its companion engine powering Chevrolet products was the very dated “Blue-Flame” 6. This six-cylinder driven powertrain was a key contributor to the reputation at that time that Chevrolet cars were dull and, at best, average. The team: In late 1952, my father, Ed Cole, assumed the role as Chevrolet Chief Engineer. A few years earlier he was the Chief Engineer at Cadillac and led the development of a new, advanced design overhead valve V-8. The expectation at Chevy was that he would lead the development of a Chevrolet version but he had other ideas. At this time each GM division had their own powertrain operations. Key people were recruited from across the company based on their unique skills. The entire effort of developing, tooling and launch of the engine, as well as the total vehicle, took less than 2 years. The engine: The Small-Block engine was considered revolutionary at that time. Features included a new casting technology that reduced the casting cores by about half, a valve train that featured simple stamped rocker arms that pivoted on individual studs and elimination of all external oil lines. Its weight was over 40 pounds less than the Blue-Flame 6 and it was very compact. The Chevrolet Small-Block V-8 was a revolutionary engine when it was developed in the 50’s, and even today the basic architecture of the current GM Small-Block is similar.
