Rigano, Gabriele. "«Religione aperta» e pensiero nonviolento: Aldo Capitini tra Francesco d'Assisi e Gandhi." MONDO CONTEMPORANEO, no. 2 (December 2011): 31–77. http://dx.doi.org/10.3280/mon2011-002002.
Full textAbstract:
Il saggio analizza le fonti ispiratrici del pensiero capitiniano a partire dall'influenza che ha avuto sull'antifascista umbro, soprattutto a livello esistenziale, prepolitico, l'esperienza francescana delle origini. Anche un confronto con un altro grande ispiratore di Capitini, Gandhi, risulta illuminante, dato che il leader nazionalista indiano risulta essere un riferimento di un certo rilievo solo nel secondo dopoguerra. Francesco d'Assisi risulta essere, da questo punto di vista, il piů duraturo ispiratore del pensiero e dell'azione di Capitini, dagli anni Venti fino alla piena maturazione del suo pensiero nonviolento. Il saggio si concentra poi sulle fonti dell'interpretazione capitiniana di Francesco d'Assisi, rintracciandole nel pensiero di Giovanni Gentile, interlocutore fondamentale ma poco riconosciuto dell'antifascista umbro. Nel secondo dopoguerra il riferimento a Gandhi diventa primario, senza perň sovrastare completamente il nome del santo di Assisi, a cui č legata la realizzazione piů duratura di Capitini: la marcia Perugia-Assisi per la pace.

‘QUI PERUSII IN ARCHA SAXEA TUMULATUS’: LA TOMBA DEL BEATO EGIDIO NELLA CHIESA DI SAN FRANCESCO AL PRATO, PERUGIAL'autore presenta una nuova ricostruzione della tomba del Beato Egidio (†1262), il terzo compagno di San Francesco ed una delle figure più importanti della prima storia francescana. La tomba di Egidio a San Francesco al Prato, Perugia, ha acquisito una notevole considerazione nello studio del primo patrocinio francescano grazie sia all'uso di un sarcofago paleocristiano che all'indiscutibile influenza di quest'arca sulla pala d'altare dipinta su entrambi i lati per la chiesa dal Maestro di San Francesco (c. 1272). Conseguentemente, gli studiosi hanno collocato il sarcofago di Egidio al di sotto dell'altare maggiore di San Francesco al Prato, in modo da formare un unico insieme visivo con il retroaltare. Tuttavia, una serie di fonti inedite indica che il Beato fu invece sepolto nel transetto meridionale. Secondo questa ricostruzione, la sua tomba va invece collocata nella tradizione delle tombe elevate a cassa, esemplificata dall'arca di tredicesimo secolo di San Domenico a Bologna. In termini di accesso e pratica devozionale, la tomba a cassa elevata era da un punto di vista funzionale più soddisfacente della sistemazione dell'altare maggiore impiegata nella stessa tomba di Francesco. La tomba di Egidio dimostra dunque come, quando necessario, i Frati Minori potessero rifiutare il modello fornito dalla loro Chiesa Madre di Assisi.

La inclusión de los análisis ecotoxicológicos en los estudios ambientales resulta indispensable ya que aporta información sobre los efectos que los contaminantes puedan causar en los organismos expuestos y en los ecosistemas receptores. El objetivo del trabajo fue evaluar la calidad del agua en la cuenca del arroyo Cañuelas (Buenos Aires, Argentina) a partir de determinaciones fisicoquímicas y de bioensayos ecotoxicológicos estandarizados en diferentes niveles tróficos con los organismos: Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata, Lactuca sativa y Caenorhabditis elegans. Las muestras fueron extraídas de cuatro puntos de muestreo representativos a lo largo del cauce de los arroyos Cañuelas y Navarrete. P. subcapitata y la raíz de L. sativa presentaron los valores más altos de inhibición del crecimiento en los puntos de muestreo coincidentes con un mayor deterioro de la calidad del agua de acuerdo con los niveles propuestos por la normativa local. Contrariamente, C. elegans reveló toxicidad en muestras cuyos parámetros fisicoquímicos cumplieron con la normativa vigente. Los resultados de este trabajo respaldan la necesidad de incorporar una batería de bioensayos ecotoxicológicos que complementen los análisis fisicoquímicos y contribuyan a una mejor gestión de los recursos hídricos.

Wir berichten über die erste erfolgreiche ambulante Langzeit-Betreuung eines Patienten mit kombinierter dilatativer und ischämischer Kardiomyopathie nach Implantation eines implantierbaren, pulsatilen Linksherzunterstützungssystem (LVAD; Novacor), in der Schweiz. Der Patient (112 kg, 191 cm, Blutgruppe A) entwickelte ein mit medizinischen Therapiemassnahmen nicht mehr behandelbares terminales Herzversagen (New York Heart Association Class (NYHA) IV), während er auf eine orthothope Herztransplantation wartete. Als selbstständiger Graphikdesigner befürchtete der Patient Langzeit-Hospitalisation gefolgt vom Konkurs seines Unternehmens. Aus diesen Gründen entschieden wir uns für eine Implantation eines Novacor LVAD und führten diesen Eingriff bei erneuter, nicht reversibler Dekompensation als Überbrückung bis zur Herztransplantation mit optional (bei günstigem Verlauf) ambulanter Betreuung durch. Der Patient wurde mehr als fünf Monate durch das System unterstützt. Er verbesserte sich funktionell gemäss NYHA-Klassifikation in Klasse I und wurde fünf Wochen nach Implantation aus der stationären Behandlung entlassen. Er kehrte zurück in sein "normales" Leben und begann wieder zu 100 % zu arbeiten. Das LVAD ermöglichte es ihm, nahezu alle Aktivitäten durchzuführen. Fünf Monate (151 Tage) nach Implantation erhielten wir ein passendes Organangebot und führten die orthotope Herztransplantation durch. Die Verwendung eines implantierbaren, pulsatilen Linksherzunterstützungssystem und erfolgreiche ambulante Betreuung unseres Patienten erwies sich als sicher, zuverlässig, lebensrettend, Lebensqualität verbessernd und könnte eine wichtige Alternative in puncto ökonomischer Belastung in der Herzinsuffizienztherapie sein.

In Puno, a region of Peru, the development of oral and written communication skills in basic education students displays weaknesses which could be overcome with the application of technological tools. The objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of WhatsApp as a mobile learning resource in the development of oral and written communication skills of secondary level students at the ‘José Carlos Mariátegui’ educational institution (Puno-Peru). The population was comprised of 343 students and a non-probabilistic, convenience sampling was applied to include two fourth-level sections of 36 and 34 students, respectively. The first was the experimental group and the second, the control group. The selection was made considering that fourth-level students are the most appropriate age to use WhatsApp in order to assess the evolution of their skills through rubrics, in a participatory way. Statistical analysis was based on the difference in means with a Z distribution, with a 95% confidence level. The results show that WhatsApp develops significant oral and written communication skills, as those skills rose by 3.5 points on average, on a twenty-point scale, after the experiment. Thus, WhatsApp is a mobile learning technology resource available to develop skills and strengthen knowledge in students. En Puno, una de las regiones del Perú, las habilidades comunicativas orales y escritas de estudiantes de educación básica muestran debilidades en su desarrollo, que podrían ser superadas con la aplicación de herramientas tecnológicas. El objetivo del estudio fue explorar la eficacia del uso del WhatsApp, como recurso de aprendizaje móvil, en el desarrollo de habilidades comunicativas orales y escritas en estudiantes del nivel secundario de la Institución Educativa ‘José Carlos Mariátegui’ (Puno-Perú). La población fue de 343 estudiantes y el muestreo no probabilístico, inducido por conveniencia, fue de dos secciones de cuarto grado, de 36 y 34 estudiantes, respectivamente. La selección se hizo considerando que los estudiantes de cuarto grado tienen la edad más adecuada para usar el WhatsApp y poder evaluar la evolución de sus habilidades a través de rúbricas, de manera participativa. El análisis estadístico se basó en la diferencia de medias con distribución Z, con un nivel de confianza del 95%. Los resultados muestran que el WhatsApp desarrolla habilidades comunicativas orales y escritas de modo significativo, en el caso estudiado, ya que esas habilidades se elevaron en 3,5 puntos, como promedio en una escala vigesimal, después del experimento. Por lo descrito, WhatsApp es un recurso tecnológico de aprendizaje móvil disponible para desarrollar habilidades y fortalecer saberes en los estudiantes.

Throughout history the cinema has reflected a lot of disability forms. This has always been from the point of view of a non-disabled. Disabled people are an important social group whose image can be affected by cinema approach where their point of view is not predominant but rather isolated, in fact, the attention is centered on social stereotypes which have nothing to do with these people’s daily lives or their various possibilities. That’s why for teachers this is a basic tool in their goal to assess human diversity in its countless aspects. El cine a lo largo de su historia ha reflejado de múltiples formas la discapacidad, pero siempre lo ha hecho desde el punto de vista del no discapacitado. Las personas con discapacidad constituyen un importante colectivo social cuya imagen puede verse afectada por planteamientos cinematográficos donde no predomina su punto de vista, donde se le aísla o se insiste en estereotipos sociales que nada tienen que ver con la realidad diaria de estas personas y con sus múltiples posibilidades. Por eso, para los educadores supone este medio una herramienta básica en su tarea diaria de valorar la diversidad humana en sus múltiples facetas.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the low incidence of precipitation attributed to climate change, many high-altitude Andean lakes (HAALs) and lagoons distributed along the central Andes in South America may soon disappear. This includes La Brava–La Punta, a brackish lake system located south of the Salar de Atacama within a hyper-arid and halophytic biome in the Atacama Desert. Variations in the physicochemical parameters of the water column can induce changes in microbial community composition, which we aimed to determine. Sixteen sampling points across La Brava–La Punta were studied to assess the influence of water physicochemical properties on the aquatic microbial community, determined via 16S rRNA gene analysis. Parameters such as pH and the concentrations of silica, magnesium, calcium, salinity, and dissolved oxygen showed a more homogenous pattern in La Punta samples, whereas those from La Brava had greater variability; pH and total silica were significantly different between La Brava and La Punta. The predominant phyla were Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, and Verrucomicrobia. The genera Psychroflexus (36.85%), Thiomicrospira (12.48%), and Pseudomonas (7.81%) were more abundant in La Brava, while Pseudospirillum (20.73%) and Roseovarius (17.20%) were more abundant in La Punta. Among the parameters, pH was the only statistically significant factor influencing the diversity within La Brava lake. These results complement the known microbial diversity and composition in the HAALs of the Atacama Desert.

ABSTRACTObjectivesThis pilot study aimed to assess the community needs and population health status for the low-income town of Punta Santiago, situated on the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico at the point where Hurricane Maria made landfall on September 20, 2017.MethodsA cross-sectional, interviewer-administered survey was conducted 6 months after the storm with a representative random sample of 74 households. The survey characterized population demographics and resident needs in relation to storm damage and disruption. The survey also assessed prevalence and symptom severity of major depression, generalized anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder.ResultsMost of Punta Santiago was without electrical power and more than half of households sustained severe damage. Residents reported loss of jobs, decreased productivity, school closures, dependency on aid for basic necessities, increased risk for vector-borne diseases, unrelenting exposure to heat and humidity, and diminished health status. Two-thirds (66.2%) of the respondents had clinically significant symptom elevations for at least 1 of the 3 common mental disorders assessed: major depression, generalized anxiety, or posttraumatic stress disorder.ConclusionsPilot survey results, along with other studies conducted in Punta Santiago, can be used to provide guidance for interventions with this community as well as with other low-income, storm-affected areas.

<p>Para evaluar el proceso de adaptación de las prácticas a los nuevos grados en la Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) se está realizando un estudio en tres fases: una primera de análisis de la situación antes de la implementación del EEES, una segunda para conocer las previsiones de cambios en la implementación desde el punto de vista de los coordinadores-responsables, y una tercera, actualmente en curso, para comprobar el nivel de satisfacción de los estudiantes. El trabajo que se presenta en este artículo se centra en la metodología para obtener estas opiniones de los estudiantes dirigidas a detectar los aspectos susceptibles de mejora en la realización de las prácticas externas. Como primeras conclusiones podemos destacar que la incorporación de las prácticas externas como asignatura curricular en los estudios de grado ha sido un acierto, pues ha aumentado el grado de satisfacción de los primeros estudiantes de grado. La satisfacción del estudiante es aceptablemente alta en lo que se refiere a cuestiones técnicas (proceso de asignación, información previa, seguimiento, etc.) y es muy alta en relación a aspectos de motivación de los estudiantes, quienes en una proporción de cuatro de cada cinco creen que ha sido muy importante hacerlas bien. Asimismo respecto al papel de las prácticas en la inserción laboral de los graduados universitarios, se constata que en un tercio de los casos se ofrece un contrato laboral o una continuación de las prácticas.</p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p><strong>The internship in the EHEA adaptation process. The UPF’s first year of graduate students’ opinion.</strong></p><p>A three-stage study is being performed in order to assess the adaptation of the traineeships to the EHEA Degrees at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF). First, the situation previous to the EHEA deployment was considered. Second, the necessary changes due to the EHEA as forecasted were considered. Third, the current research, which is still in progress, aims to check student satisfaction in traineeships. This working paper describes thoroughly the methodology, and identifies room for improvement in traineeship performance. As a first conclusion we have found that the incorporation of the traineeships as a curricular subject in the degree studies has been a success, because the students’ satisfaction level has increased. Their satisfaction is acceptably high with technical aspects (assignment process, preliminary information, monitoring, etc.) and it is very high with their motivation. Four out of five students believe it has been very important for them do the internships well. Furthermore, with regard to the role of the internships in the labour integration of university graduates, we found that one third of the trainees received an offer to continue the practicums or a labour contract.</p>

Aims. Prognostic thresholds to identify new type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) cases using the HOMA-IR have not been defined. We studied the HOMA-IR performance to identify incident T2DM cases and to assess if the thresholds varied according to urbanization and altitude in Peru. Methods. Longitudinal analysis. The outcome was incident T2DM cases: self-report diagnosis and fasting glucose. The exposure was the HOMA-IR. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted, and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) was estimated with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). Results are presented overall and stratified by study site (Lima, Tumbes, urban Puno, and rural Puno), rurality (urban, semiurban, and rural), and altitude (low and high). Results. A total of 3120 participants (mean age: 55.6 years, 51.2% females) contributed data to this analysis. The median baseline HOMA-IR was 1.7 (IQR 1.0–2.9), with median values ranging from 1.1 in rural Puno to 2.0 in Lima and Tumbes (p<0.001). Overall for incident T2DM, the AUC was 0.69 (95% CI: 0.64–0.74) with an empirical threshold of 2.8 yielding a positive likelihood ratio of 2.30 and a negative one of 0.61; the positive and negative predictive values were 14.6% and 95.7%, respectively. The empirical thresholds varied within the variables of interest, for example, from 0.9 in urban Puno to 2.9 in Lima. Conclusions. Using the HOMA-IR to identify incident T2DM cases seems to yield moderate accuracy. The HOMA-IR could help improve identifying people at high risk of T2DM.

ASBTRACT The present investigation used Brachionus plicatilis (Rotifera) to evaluate the water quality in Callao Bay, Peru. The water samples were taken in four areas: P1 in La Punta, P2 in Chucuito, P3 in front of the Callao Port Terminal and P4 in the San Lorenzo and El Frontón Islands, and in four seasonal periods: autumn-2015, winter- 2015, spring-2015, and summer-2016. Physical-chemical parameters, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, heavy metals, and bioassays with seawater at 24 h and 48 h of exposure to Brachionus plicatilis obtained from a standardized culture were evaluated in each area and seasonal period. High concentrations of Ag, Pb, Hg, Cu, Cr, Ni and Zn were found at all the sampling sites. The no observed effect concentration (NOEC) values (concentration at which a significant effect of mortality is not observed with respect to the control) and lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC) (minimum concentration at which a significant effect of mortality is observed with respect to the control) at 48 h of exposure to the B. plicatilis bioassay were lower for P1 (winter-2015) and P2 (winter-2015). Principal components analysis (PCA) showed that principal component 1 (PC1) contributed 38.70% and PC2 17.70%. PC1 was formed by LOEC of Cd, Hg, Ni, Ag, and Pb while PC2 was related to Cu, Cr and Zn. According to these results Brachionus plicatilis can be used as a bioindicator organism to assess water quality in the marine environment. Keywords: acute bioassay, Brachionus, heavy metals, mortality, rotifer.

RESUMEN: El 27 de diciembre de 2013 las Cortes Generales aprobaron la Ley de racionalización y sostenibilidad de la Administración local. Pocos días antes, el Parlamento Europeo y el Consejo habían aprobado el Programa General de Medio Ambiente de la Unión hasta 2020. Aparentemente, estos dos textos no tienen ninguna relación entre sí. Sin embargo, este trabajo descubre su punto de conexión en las referencias que ambos contienen a la política de residuos y analiza las menciones que al asunto dedica la reforma del régimen local para evaluar hasta qué punto facilitan que los municipios españoles participen en las transformaciones requeridas por el objetivo europeo de avanzar hacia una «economía circular», en la que nada se desperdicia. ABSTRACT: On 27th of December 2012, the Parliament passed the Act on rationalization and sustainability within the Local Entities Administration. Few days before, the European Parliament and the Council had passed the General Programme of Enviroment of the European Union until 2020. Apparently, those two texts do not have any relationship. However, this work finds out one point of connection in the references they both make to the waste policy and it analyzes the mentions that the issue devotes to the reform of the local regime in order to assess to what extent they make easier that the Spanish municipalities participate in the transformations required by the european objective of advancing towards a «circular economy» where nothing is wasted.

To this end, we present a new method of describing the morphology of the biostratigraphically important Upper Cretaceous zonal index fossil Baculites, using five independent shell characters that can be measured quantitatively. We then use this method to test hypotheses of phyletic evolutionary change in B. inornatus specimens collected from Sucia Island, Washington, USA, and Punta San Jose, Baja California, Mexico.The greatest observed character change is in mature shell size: baculitids from the older of the two outcrops (Sucia islands) show a smaller mean diameter at maturity compared to those of the younger of the two outcrops (Punta San Jose). Other than this phyletic size increase, no other directional changes were observed from specimens collected at sub-meter precision from the 90 m-thick measured stratigraphic section of the Rosario Formation located at Punta San Jose. Importantly, neither the younger nor older baculitid assemblages show a size distribution of mature specimens that can be attributed to sexual dimorphism. We observed fluctuating proportions of individuals with ribs and/or keels through this section; since both characters have been used in previous taxonomic studies to define, or differentiate between, other Baculites species, our results indicate that no single character is sufficient to discriminate species within this lineage, and that there is far more variation of these characters than has previously been accepted. Our methodology can also be used to assess morphologic variation and taxonomic assignments of Baculites species in other biogeographic provinces, as well as to evaluate ecological influences on population variation and to test hypotheses of lineage evolution.

Full textAbstract:
Series of biomonitoring surveys were undertaken weekly in February 2012 to investigate the genotoxicity of the shallow waters around the Brazilian Antarctic Station "Comandante Ferraz" (EACF). The comet assay was applied to assess the damage to the DNA of hemocytes of the crustacean amphipods Gondogeneia antarctica collected from shallow waters near the Fuel Tanks (FT) and Sewage Treatment Outflow (STO) of the research station, and compare it to the DNA damage of animals from Punta Plaza (PPL) and Yellow Point (YP), natural sites far from the EACF defined as experimental controls. The damage to the DNA of hemocytes of G. antarctica was not significantly different between sites in the biomonitoring surveys I and II. In survey III, the damage to the DNA of animals captured in shallow waters near the Fuel Tanks (FT) and Sewage Treatment Outflow (STO) was significantly higher than that of the control site of Punta Plaza (PPL). In biomonitoring survey IV, a significant difference was detected only between the FT and PPL sites. Results demonstrated that the shallow waters in front of the station may be genotoxic and that the comet assay and hemocytes of G. antarctica are useful tools for assessing genotoxicity in biomonitoring studies of Antarctic marine coastal habitats.

"How Does Mechanical Pearling Affect Quinoa Nutrients and Saponin Contents?" Plants 10, no. 6 (June 3, 2021): 1133. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/plants10061133.
Full textAbstract:
Agriculture is facing many challenges, such as climate change, drought, and salinity, which call for urgent interventions for fast adaptation and crop diversification. The introduction of high-value and stress tolerant crops such as quinoa would be a judicious solution to overcome constraints related to abiotic stress and to increase land productivity and farmers’ incomes. The implementation of quinoa in Morocco has not been supported by a full valorization program to control the quality of quinoa seeds. The novelty of this work is to assess the pearling operation as an efficient method of saponins removal as well as the determination of total residual saponins. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of several pearling durations on nutrient and saponin content of quinoa seeds of three tested varieties (Puno, Titicaca, and ICBA-Q5). Five pearling durations were tested (0, 2, 4, 6, 7, and 8 min) using a locally manufactured pearling machine. The results indicated that a pearling duration of two minutes was enough to reduce total saponin content from 0.49% to 0.09% for Puno variety, from 0.37% to 0.07% for Titicaca variety, and from 0.57% to 0.1% for ICBA-Q5 variety. Our results showed that pearling slightly reduced protein, total fat, and moisture contents for all varieties except for Puno, where total fat content slightly increased with the pearling. Puno variety had the highest seed content in terms of protein and total fat; the ICBA-Q5 variety had the lowest. Titicaca had the highest bran content in terms of protein and total fat, ICBA-Q5 had the highest bran content in terms of ash and the lowest bran content in terms of protein and total fat, and Puno had the lowest bran content in terms of ash. Pearling had no significant effect on macronutrient contents in the processed seed, but it resulted in a very highly significant difference for most of them in the bran except for Mg and S. Regarding seed content in terms of micro-nutrients, statistical analysis showed significant differences between varieties in terms of Zn, Cu, and Mn contents, but no significant difference was recorded for Fe or B. Pearling had no significant effect on seed micronutrient contents. Therefore, to retain maximum nutritional content in the quinoa and maintain quinoa integrity, it is necessary to limit the pearling duration of quinoa to two minutes, which is enough to reduce saponin content below the Codex Standard threshold (0.12%).

El artículo examina ciertos problemas derivados de la lucha contra el terrorismo en la Unión Europea desde la perspectiva de la llamada protección de los derechos a múltiples niveles. En especial, el trabajo se centra en la conflictividad jurídica desencadenada a raíz de la elaboración de listas «europeas» de organizaciones e individuos vinculados al terrorismo, poniendo especial énfasis en las aportaciones realizadas por los Abogados Generales, Mengozzi (en el caso Gestoras Pro Amnistía y Segi) y Poiares (en el caso Kadi), verdaderas piezas jurídicas que permiten apreciar hasta qué punto resulta complicado armonizar concepciones de los derechos y sistemas de garantía con más puntos de divergencia de los que parece. El efecto combinado de una conflictividad jurisdiccional que continua dando vueltas a la cuestión de quién tiene la última palabra en materia de protección de los derechos, junto a cierta praxis nada respetuosa con las exigencias que se derivan del compromiso con ellos, da pie a las «anomalías» que el trabajo intenta describir y valorar críticamente.

This article examines some problems that arise from the fight against terrorism within the European Union from the perspective of the so called multilevel protection of rights. In particular, this work focuses on the legal conflict unleashed as a result of the elaboration of «European» lists with organizations and individuals linked to terrorism, by emphasizing the contributions of Mengozi (in Gestoras Pro-Amnistia and Segi cases) and Poiares (in
Kadi) as Advocate Generals, which are true legal excerpts that make possible to appreciate to what extent the harmonization of rights and systems for their protection is a complex issue with more points for divergence than it might look like. The combined effect of a judicial
conflict that keeps on going around the question of who has the final say in the protection of rights together with a not very respectful praxis with the requirements that derive from its commitment, give cause for anomalies which this work tries to describe and critically assess.

- La seguente ricerca nasce con lo scopo di valutare se le persone con problemi di dipendenza da sostanze psicotrope abbiano anche una dipendenza dal gioco d'azzardo o una tendenza a svilupparla. Per condurre l'indagine, presso il Ser.T. in cui operiamo, č stata utilizzata la versione modificata del SOGS (South Oaks Gambling Screen) di Lesieur H.R. e Blume S.B. In base al punteggio ottenuto č stato possibile individuare un tipo di giocatore sociale, un giocatore eccessivo o problematico e uno patologico. Ai fini del nostro lavoro abbiamo considerato i giocatori eccessivi e patologici come appartenenti ad un unico gruppo di soggetti aventi con il gioco un rapporto problematico. Il questionario č stato somministrato a tre campioni. Il primo č costituito da utenti del Ser.T., il secondo da studenti universitari e il terzo, infine, da clienti assidui di Bingo e Punto Snai. Dall'analisi dei dati č emerso che all'interno del campione degli utenti del Ser.T. una quota consistente di soggetti rientra nel gruppo dei giocatori eccessivi o patologici (26%). I risultati, in linea con altre ricerche nazionali ed internazionali, sembrerebbero confermare, dunque, l'ipotesi iniziale che vi sia una relazione tra abuso di sostanze e gioco d'azzardo.

OBJECTIVEThere is a growing body of literature informing efforts to improve the safety of football; however, research relating on-field activity to head impacts in youth football is limited. Therefore, the objective of this study was to compare head impact exposure (HIE) measured in game plays among 3 youth football teams.METHODSHead impact and video data were collected from athletes (ages 10–13 years) participating on 3 youth football teams. Video analysis was performed to verify head impacts and assign each to a specific play type. Each play was categorized as a down, punt, kickoff, field goal, or false start. Kickoffs and punts were classified as special teams. Downs were classified as running, passing, or other. HIE was quantified by play type in terms of mean, median, and 95th percentile linear and rotational acceleration. Mixed-effects models were used to assess differences in acceleration among play types. Contact occurring on special teams plays was evaluated using a standardized video abstraction form.RESULTSA total of 3003 head impacts over 27.5 games were analyzed and paired with detailed video coding of plays. Most head impacts were attributed to running (79.6%), followed by passing (14.0%), and special teams (6.4%) plays. The 95th percentile linear acceleration measured during each play type was 52.6g, 50.7g, and 65.5g, respectively. Special teams had significantly greater mean linear acceleration than running and passing plays (both p = 0.03). The most common kick result on special teams was a deep kick, of which 85% were attempted to be returned. No special teams plays resulted in a touchback, and one resulted in a fair catch. One-third of all special teams plays and 92% of all nonreturned kicks resulted in athletes diving toward the ball.CONCLUSIONSThe results demonstrate a trend toward higher head impact magnitudes on special teams than for running and passing plays, but a greater number of impacts were measured during running plays. Deep kicks were most common on special teams, and many returned and nonreturned kicks resulted in athletes diving toward the ball. These results support policy changes to youth special teams plays, including modifying the yard line the ball is kicked from and coaching proper return technique. Further investigation into biomechanical exposure measured during game impact scenarios is needed to inform policy relevant to the youth level.

AbstractAbdominal profile indices were developed to evaluate body condition in birds without capturing or handling them. We assessed the reliability of abdominal profile indices in predicting condition of spring staging Greater Snow Geese (Chen caerulescens atlantica). We first calibrated profile scores assigned to females against two direct measures of nutrient stores, abdominal fat and body mass corrected for body size. Abdominal profile indices were linearly and significantly related to both abdominal fat and body mass but the variance was high for individuals assigned to the same profile score (R2 = 0.08 and R2 = 0.09, respectively, n = 230). On average, an increase of one profile score corresponded to an increase of 100 g in body mass. Abdominal profiles were better predictors of average abdominal fat and body mass of birds assigned to the same profile category. To assess the usefulness of abdominal profiles in the field, we also examined if the technique could detect the negative effect of a spring hunt on nutrient storage by staging geese, an effect previously detected with internal measures of nutrient reserves. We monitored seasonal changes in abdominal profile indices of staging geese in years without (1997 and 1998) and with the spring hunt (1999 and 2000). In two out of three regions, abdominal profiles revealed that condition increased at a higher rate in nonhunting than in hunting years. The lack of a negative effect of hunting in the other region was likely due to variability among observers in abdominal profile scoring. We conclude that abdominal profile indices can be useful to assess body condition of spring staging Greater Snow Geese although the technique has serious limitations at the individual level, especially without proper training of observers.¿Son los Perfiles Abdominales Útiles para Determinar la Condición Corporal de Chen caerulescens atlantica durante Escalas Migratorias de Primavera?Resumen. Los índices de perfil abdominal fueron desarrollados para evaluar la condición corporal de las aves sin tener que capturarlas o manipularlas. En este estudio examinamos la confiabilidad de dichos índices para predecir la condición corporal de gansos Chen caerulescens atlantica durante la época de escalas migratorias de primavera. Inicialmente, calibramos los puntajes de los perfiles asignados a un grupo de hembras con respecto a dos medidas directas de reservas nutritivas, la grasa abdominal y la masa corregida por el tamaño corporal. Los índices de perfil abdominal estuvieron lineal y significativamente relacionados con la grasa abdominal y la masa corporal (R2 = 0.08 y R2 = 0.09, respectivamente, n = 230), pero la varianza entre individuos asignados al mismo puntaje del perfil fue alta. En promedio, un incremento de un punto en el perfil correspondió a un incremento de 100 g en la masa corporal. Los perfiles abdominales predijeron de mejor manera los promedios de grasa abdominal y masa corporal de aves asignadas a la misma categoría del perfil. Para evaluar la utilidad de los perfiles abdominales en el campo, también examinamos si la técnica podía detectar el efecto negativo de la cacería de primavera sobre el almacenamiento de nutrientes en gansos que estaban haciendo escalas migratorias, un efecto previamente detectado por medio de medidas internas de las reservas nutritivas. Monitoreamos los cambios estacionales en los índices de perfil abdominal de gansos en años que estuvieron (1997 y 1998) y no estuvieron (1999 y 2000) expuestos a cacería en la primavera. En dos de las tres regiones, los perfiles abdominales indicaron que la condición corporal se incrementó a una tasa mayor en los años sin cacería. La ausencia de un efecto negativo de la cacería en la otra región probablemente fue debida a la variabilidad entre distintos observadores al establecer los valores del perfil abdominal. Concluimos que los índices de perfil abdominal pueden ser útiles para evaluar la condición corporal de estos gansos durante la época de escalas migratorias, pero la técnica tiene limitaciones serias a nivel individual, especialmente cuando los observadores no han sido entrenados adecuadamente.

AbstractPortable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectroscopy is commonly used for testing toxic levels of heavy metals in modern industrial waste sites, and it has seen growing applicability in the context of archaeological survey and soils. In this study, we present the results of our pXRF analysis of surface soils at a historic silver refinery located near Puno, Peru, in the western Lake Titicaca Basin. The results of our analysis identified hazardous levels of antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), mercury (Hg), and lead (Pb) in excavation soils, necessitating the relocation of planned excavation units and the use of personal protective equipment. This study highlights the advantages of rapid, in situ pXRF analysis of surface soils in contaminated industrial archaeology sites to assess potential harm to human health.

Abstract On 7 January 2020, an Mw 6.4 earthquake occurred in the northeastern Caribbean, a few kilometers offshore of the island of Puerto Rico. It was the mainshock of a complex seismic sequence, characterized by a large number of energetic earthquakes illuminating an east–west elongated area along the southwestern coast of Puerto Rico. Deformation fields constrained by Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar and Global Navigation Satellite System data indicate that the coseismic movements affected only the western part of the island. To assess the mainshock’s source fault parameters, we combined the geodetically derived coseismic deformation with teleseismic waveforms using Bayesian inference. The results indicate a roughly east–west oriented fault, dipping northward and accommodating ∼1.4 m of transtensional motion. Besides, the determined location and orientation parameters suggest an offshore continuation of the recently mapped North Boquerón Bay–Punta Montalva fault in southwest Puerto Rico. This highlights the existence of unmapped faults with moderate-to-large earthquake potential within the Puerto Rico region.

Contexto: El consumo de drogas en la actualidad es un importante fenómeno social que afecta especialmente a los adolescentes. La percepción de riesgo y los factores de riesgo, junto al ocio, el tiempo libre y la vida recreativa, son elementos que se deben considerar para comprender esta problemática, la práctica de programas adecuados y eficaces de prevención y tratamiento contribuye a su tratamiento. Objetivo: Determinar la percepción que tienen los adolescentes de la provincia Santa Elena en relación con el consumo de drogas y alcohol. Metodología: Los datos provienen del cuestionario ASSIST V3.0 OMS, dirigido a los adolescentes del Colegio la Libertad de los bachilleratos diurnos y vespertinos en un total de 431 encuestados. El diseño de la muestra fue probabilístico, estratificado y por conglomerados en varias etapas de muestreo. Resultados: el 34% de los adolescentes encuestados se inclinan al consumo de alcohol, el uso de bebidas alcohólicas son las sustancias que de mayor uso en 142 encuestados, mientras que el consumo de tabaco 55 de ellos lo realizan, donde mencionan que dicho consumo es concerniente a los problemas intrafamiliares presentes en cada hogar, a diferencia del rutina de cannabis coligado a la ansiedad o eventos de hiperactividad que pueden ser punto de partida para mayores complicaciones en la salud de los adolescentes. Conclusiones: El entorno que rodea a los jóvenes de 12 a 17 años indica que el consumo de drogas está cada vez más presente. Los índices de consumo se han incrementado en la provincia de Santa Elena donde nace la necesidad de desarrollar campañas de promoción y prevención frente a este fenómeno social.

Resumen Está firmemente demostrada la importancia de realizar mantenimiento preventivo en los edificios, para evitar que se degraden y aparezcan lesiones graves. También está demostrado que con el mantenimiento preventivo se ahorra dinero frente al mantenimiento correctivo. En el marco del mantenimiento cabe decir que, para realizar las inspecciones periódicas de los edificios, es de gran utilidad el poder cuantificar hasta qué punto las deficiencias existentes son graves o no, con objeto de facilitar la toma de decisiones y priorizar las intervenciones terapéuticas. De hecho, se han utilizado y utilizan numerosas escalas diferentes entre sí para valorar el grado de gravedad de los elementos constructivos. Pero no existe consenso común y estas escalas son diferentes entre sí según el estudio a que pertenezcan. Por ejemplo, en las diferentes normas ITE existentes en España se utilizan diferentes escalas y formas de valorar las deficiencias existentes y no hay consenso común en el método de valoración. El objetivo del presente artículo es proponer, en base a un largo y riguroso proceso metodológico, una escala que sirva para valorar el grado de gravedad de los daños en edificios, que pueda ser utilizada de manera generalizada. Abstract The importance of performing preventive maintenance on buildings is clearly demonstrated, in order to prevent them from deterioration and severe damages. It is also demonstrated that preventive maintenance saves money versus corrective maintenance. In the framework of maintenance, to make periodic inspections of the buildings is useful to quantify the extent to which deteriorations are severe or not, in order to facilitate decision making and prioritize interventions. To this purpose many scales have been used and are used to assess the severity of damage and deterioration of the building components. But it appears evident that there is not common consensus and these scales are different between them, according to the study they belong to. Everything referred shows the need to propose and validate a scale that serves to assess the degree of severity of construction elements in buildings, which is widely used. Therefore, the objective of this article is to propose, based on a long and rigorous methodological process, a scale that serves to assess the degree of severity of damage in buildings, which can be widely used.

Abstract ∙ Wildlife conservation often relies on accurate data of species distributions, yet scientific knowledge is often limited in scope. Local knowledge and habitat mapping can provide additional information particularly useful in assessing the absence or presence of a species or population. In May 2015, we combined point counts, local interviews, citizen science databases, and habitat mapping to assess the presence of breeding Three‐wattled Bellbirds (Procnias tricarunculatus), a species listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN, in the Nicoya Mountains of Costa Rica, where a disjunct population had previously been reported. Our point counts, local interviews, and citizen science databases provided strong evidence that bellbirds no longer breed in the Nicoya Mountains, and our habitat mapping demonstrated that a minimum of 23% of the bellbird habitat is now pasture. We conclude that a putative historic resident population of this species is now most likely non‐existent in the Nicoya Mountains.Resumen ∙ Estatus del Pájaro Campana (Procnias tricarunculatus) en las montañas de Nicoya, Costa Rica La conservación de la vida silvestre se basa comúnmente en el conocimiento exacto de la distribución de las especies, sin embargo, este conocimiento es limitado para muchas especies. El conocimiento local y mapeo del hábitat pueden proveer información adicional, particularmente útil en la evaluación de la presencia o ausencia de especies o poblaciones. En mayo de 2015, combinamos puntos de conteo, entrevistas locales, bases de datos de ciencia ciudadana, y mapeo de hábitat para determinar la presencia de poblaciones reproductivas de Pájaro Campana (Procnias tricarunculatus), especie enlistada como vulnerable por la IUCN, en las montañas de Nicoya, Costa Rica, donde una población ha sido reportada previamente. Nuestros puntos de conteo, entrevistas a locales, y bases de datos de ciencia ciudadana indican que el Pájaro Campana no se reproduce en las montañas de Nicoya; nuestro mapeo de hábitat demuestra que un 23% del hábitat del Pájaro Campana ha sido transformado en pastizales. Concluimos que una supuesta población residente histórica de esta especie es ahora muy probablemente inexistente en las montañas de Nicoya.

Nella Neurochirurgia stereotassica, ed in quella «funzionale» in particolare, è basilare la massima accuratezza nel calcolo delle coordinate che identificano la posizione della struttura-bersaglio prescelta: la precisione necessaria è dell'ordine di 1 mm. Viene presentato un originale metodo matematico di calcolo delle coordinate di un target (T) posto ad una distanza nota da un sistema di riferimento. Quest'ultimo è costituito dal piano sagittale passante per la linea bicommissurale (CA-CP) ed il recesso infundibolare (I) del 3° ventricolo e risulta determinato in modo univoco da tre punti (CA, CP, I) le cui coordinate cartesiane sono ricavate direttamente su sezioni assiali TC. L'accuratezza di questo metodo, intrinsecamente valido, è stata valutata preliminarmente su fantoccio. Si tratta di una semplice e rigorosa procedura matematica che può essere adottata in Neurochirurgia funzionale, per il reperaggio di bersagli «invisibili» in interventi di tipo lesivo o di stimolazione su strutture cerebrali profonde. Gli autori hanno impiegato questo metodo di calcolo nel trattamento del morbo di Parkinson con stimolazione cerebrale profonda in cinque pazienti.

Full textAbstract:
By 2050, people in urbanized areas will account for 68% of the world’s population, 80% of which will be concentrated in Asia and Africa. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) introduced in 2011 the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) under the Cancun Adaptation Framework (CAF). Countries of the non-Annex I, described by the UN-General Assembly as especially vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, are invited to develop NAPs to identify adaptation challenges and devise appropriate climate adaptation responses. Recognizing the increasing vulnerability of urban systems to the effects of climate change, in 2019, UN-Habitat defined the supplement of the NAP process's technical guidelines for addressing urban and human settlement issues in NAPs. This paper aims to propose a methodology to assess the urban content of the NAPs after ten years from that the CAF comes into force. The evaluation is based, adapting and expanding, on the methodology used to assess the urban content of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) published by UN-Habitat in 2017. The methodology aims to analyse both key adaptation challenges and responses explicitly or implicitly related to urban systems. Moreover, it aims at understanding the interlinkage of urban content in NAP in relation to other key policies, such as NDCs and National Urban Policies (NUPs). In this perspective, 172 indicators were selected and clustered into nine groups: (i) Geographic Indicators; (ii) General Indicators; (iii) NAPs General Indicators; (iv) NAPs Urban Indicators; (v) NDCs Indicators; (vi) NUPs Indicators; (vii) Urban content in National Policies Indicators; (viii) International policy linkages (including SDGs, Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, Paris Agreement and New Urban agenda); (ix) National plans/policy/strategies/reports linkages. The methodology was tested on Brazil’s NAP, trying to find general considerations to apply to the countries that officially submitted their NAPs between 2014 to 2020. The test showed that: there is a stronger focus on defining climate adaptation challenges more than responses; climate adaptation challenges and responses are predominantly identified at the national scale, with a focus on policies and strategies at the national level; among the Brazilian NAP, there is "cities strategy", and it means that the NAP has a high urban content. In conclusion, the paper will highlight critical issues and improvements for each of the nine indices analysed. Entro il 2050, la popolazione urbana rappresenterà il 68% della popolazione mondiale. Di questa, l'80% sarà concentrata in Asia e in Africa. A partire da questo scenario di incrementale urbanizzazione, nel 2011 la Convenzione quadro delle Nazioni Unite sui cambiamenti climatici (UNFCCC) ha introdotto, nell'ambito del Cancún Adaptation Framework (CAF), i Piani Nazionali di Adattamento (NAP). I NAP sono concepiti come strumento a supporto dei Paesi inclusi nel Non-Annex I, descritti dall'Assemblea generale dell'ONU come particolarmente vulnerabili alle transizioni in atto, per identificare le sfide e progettare le risposte più appropriate verso l’adattamento in risposta al cambiamento climatico. Riconoscendo la crescente vulnerabilità dei sistemi urbani, UN-Habitat nel 2019 ha predisposto delle linee guida per supportare la redazione dei NAP, in particolare per includere le questioni urbane e gli insediamenti umani. A dieci anni dall'entrata in vigore del CAF, il presente articolo presenta una proposta metodologica per valutare il contenuto urbano dei NAP. L’approccio valutativo proposto è un aggiornamento dalla metodologia utilizzata per analizzare il contenuto urbano dei Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), pubblicata da UN-Habitat nel 2017, e qui adattata ai NAP. La metodologia mira ad analizzare sia le sfide chiave per l’adattamento, ma anche le risposte esplicitamente o implicitamente connesse ai sistemi urbani e l'interconnessione del contenuto urbano dei NAP in relazione ad altre politiche chiave, quali NDCs e NUP (Politiche Urbane Nazionali). In questa prospettiva, la metodologia si compone di 172 indicatori, raggruppati in nove gruppi: (i) Indicatori geografici; (ii) Indicatori generali; (iii) Indicatori generali dei NAP; (iv) Indicatori che leggono il contenuto urbano dei NAP; (v) Indicatori degli NDC; (vi) Indicatori dei NUP; (vii) Indicatori che analizzano il contenuto urbano delle politiche nazionali; (viii) Collegamenti con le politiche internazionali (inclusi SDGs, Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, Accordo di Parigi e New Urban Agenda); e (ix) Collegamenti nazionali tra piani/politiche/strategie/report. La metodologia è stata testata sul NAP del Brasile, al fine di individuare considerazioni generali da adottare anche per gli altri Paesi del sud del mondo che hanno presentato i loro NAP tra il 2014 e il 2020. In sintesi, questa sperimentazione ha mostrato che: (i) vi è una maggiore attenzione alla definizione delle sfide di adattamento al clima più che all’individuazione di risposte; (ii) le sfide e le risposte di adattamento al cambiamento climatico sono prevalentemente identificate su scala nazionale; (iii) il NAP del Brasile si caratterizza per un alto contenuto urbano. In conclusione, il paper mette in luce punti di forza e criticità della metodologia, identificando alcuni miglioramenti per ciascuno dei nove gruppi di indicatori, nella prospettiva di applicare questo approccio di valutazione anche in altri contesti territoriali.

We present the results of conservation assessment of a rocky shore in the Central Pacific of Costa Rica (Playa Hermosa-Punta Mala National Wildlife Refuge) using the biological indicators proposed by the national environmental ministry. This study aims to analyze the influence of surveillance, between two sites, over the rocky shore habitat. The sampling was carried out during both the dry and rainy seasons in 2015. Our data shows that Nerita scabricosta -harvested in small-scale fisheries- presents a high number of colonies formed by few individuals. Moreover, the abundance varied between seasons, probably due to a storm surge. Macroalgae differed slightly among sites, where turf had higher percentage coverage in low surveillance areas, while brown algae had higher coverage in high surveillance areas. Mechanical damage (abrasion due to rocks overturning) associated with tourism and harvesting could be influencing the low surveillance area, explaining these differences. Macroalgae presented a seasonal change, probably related to the storm surge. The density of the Tetraclita stalactifera did not exhibit variations. The surveillance level and enforcement influenced some bioindicators of the rocky shore, and therefore could be used to assess the extractive pressure.

La sepsis es la primera causa de muerte por infección en el mundo y el pronóstico es tiempo dependiente de un tratamiento eficaz. Existen descritos numerosos factores pronósticos en la bibliografía sin embargo hay pocos estudios que los comparen entre ellos para valorar si hay alguno con mayor peso frente a otros. El presente artículo, con una muestra de 82 pacientes, analiza diferentes factores pronósticos en las primeras 24 horas de ingreso como indicadores de supervivencia a los 28 días. Estos son: cifras de lactato, su tasa de eliminación, la saturación venosa central y la diferencia entre la saturación de oxígeno arterio-venosa central. Los resultados muestras que las cifras de lactato a las 24 horas son los que presentan una sensibilidad-especificadad mayores (punto de corte de 2,15 mmol/dl), seguido por la cifra de lactato a las 12 y a las 6 horas. ABSTRACT Are there prognostic factors for mortality in the septic patient in the ICU? The value of the serum lactate elimination rate Sepsis is the first cause of death due to infection in the world and the prognosis is time dependent on effective treatment. There are numerous prognostic factors described in the literature, however there are just a few studies comparing them among them to assess if there is one with greater weight compared to others. The present article, with a sample of 82 patients, analyzes different prognostic factors in the first 24 hours of admission as survival indicators at 28 days. These are: lactate numbers, their elimination rate, central venous saturation and the difference between central arteriovenous oxygen saturation. The results show that the lactate levels at 24 hours are the ones with higher sensitivity-specificity (cut-off point of 2.15 mmol / dl), followed by the lactate levels at 12 and at 6 hours.

ResumenEl mayor consumo energético en el sector residencial se debe a las instalaciones de climatización. Existen numerosos estudios de viviendas plurifamiliares orientados a optimizar este ítem, pero pocos se centran en la vivienda unifamiliar. Un punto crítico en esta tipología edificatoria son los huecos de ventanas, que suponen una gran superficie sobre el total de la envolvente. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar, cuantificar y valorar la influencia de estrategias pasivas, consistentes en la instalación de diferentes tipos de acristalamientos y protecciones solares, teniendo en cuenta la orientación de la vivienda, para reducir la demanda energética de climatización. El análisis de resultados ofrece unas pautas que demuestran el comportamiento de las diferentes estrategias pasivas utilizadas y su repercusión directa en la demanda de diseño de los equipos de climatización. No siendo soluciones únicas, pero si orientativas a la hora de proponer decisiones adaptables a tipologías edificatorias similares.AbstractThe highest energy consumption in the residential sector is due to the air conditioning installations. There are numerous stud-ies of flats oriented to optimize this item, but few focus on the detached house. A critical point in this building typology are the window aperture, which suppose a great surface on the total of the envelope. Therefore, the objective of this work is to analyze, quantify and assess the influence of different passive strategies, which consists of the installation of different types of glazing and solar protections, taking into account the orientation of the house, to reduce the energy demand of air conditioning. The analysis of results provides guidelines for the behavior of different strategies and their direct impact on the design demand of refrigeration and heating equipment. They are not unique solutions, but they are indicative when proposing decisions adapt-able to similar building typologies.

In school contexts, ethical competences are crucial in order to make the teacher able to manage the class dynamics and the relationships with families and colleagues. These competences are all the more necessary to the special education teacher. These competences are neither specified nor defined at regulatory and teacher training level; nevertheless, they are transversally present in many of the skills required to the special education teacher. This paper describes an exploratory research carried out at the University of Sassari in the context of a national research project on moral education in lower secondary school. The aforementioned exploratory research aims to assess the point of view of special education teachers during their training, in order to define adequate training strategies for the development of ethical, reflective and argumentative skills. On the basis of the results, guidelines were set for a training course that is being currently in test phase.
Insegnanti di sostegno in formazione e sviluppo della competenza etica. Un’esperienza presso l’Università di Sassari
Nel contesto scolastico la competenza etica dell’insegnante si configura come una competenza molto importante per la gestione delle dinamiche della classe e dei rapporti con le famiglie e con i colleghi. Particolare rilevanza assume per l’insegnante specializzato per le attività di sostegno didattico agli alunni con disabilità. I decreti ministeriali non individuano in modo esplicito questa competenza, che appare come trasversale a molte delle abilità considerate centrali per il profilo dell’insegnante di sostegno. Il presente contributo descrive una ricerca esplorativa realizzata presso l’Università di Sassari, nell’ambito di un PRIN sull’educazione morale nella scuola secondaria di primo grado, che ha la finalità di ascoltare il punto di vista degli insegnanti di sostegno in formazione per definire adeguate strategie formative per lo sviluppo di competenze etiche, riflessive ed argomentative. Gli esiti emersi sono alla base di un percorso formativo in corso di ’prova’ sul campo.

Despite being important etiological agents of waterborne illness, the sources, transport and decay of human viruses in recreational waters are not well understood. This study examines enterovirus and adenovirus concentrations in coastal water samples collected from four beaches impacted by microbial pollution: (1) Malibu Lagoon, Malibu; (2) Tijuana River, Imperial Beach; (3) Baja Malibu, Baja California; and (4) Punta Bandera, Baja California. Water samples were concentrated using a flocculation-based skim milk method and dead-end membrane filtration (MF). Viruses were enumerated using cell culture infectivity assays and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-QPCR). Across concentration and quantification methods, enteroviruses were detected more often than adenoviruses. For both viruses, MF followed by (RT)QPCR yielded higher concentrations than skim milk flocculation followed by (RT)QPCR or cell culture assays. Samples concentrated by skim milk flocculation and enumerated by (RT)QPCR agreed more closely with concentrations enumerated by cell culture assays than MF followed by (RT)QPCR. The detection of viruses by MF and (RT)QPCR was positively correlated with the presence of infectious viruses. Further research is needed to determine if detection of viruses by rapid methods such as (RT)QPCR can be a useful water quality monitoring tool to assess health risks in recreational waters.

The existence of two Pisaster ochraceus subspecies has been proposed; one located northwards (P. ochraceus ochraceus) and the other southwards (Pisaster ochraceus segnis) from Point Conception. We used polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism of the CO I and CO III mitochondrial genes to assess the degree of population structure from 126 samples collected along the western coast of North America, from Vancouver, Canada to Punta San Carlos, of Baja California, Mexico. The genetic structure was tested through molecular analysis of variance and by Monte Carlo simulations of the original data set. The phylogeographical pattern was deduced from a minimum spanning network analysis. No genetic structure was detected. Instead, a high degree of genetic homogeneity along the species distribution was evident from haplotype frequencies at each location. Two haplotypes, Po1 and Po5, were predominant along the distribution and were considered ancestral because of their central position in the minimum spanning network. Since Pisaster ochraceus depicts a planktotrophic larval stage with very long duration before settlement, it seems to be able to surpass the biogeographical boundary that limits other species around Point Conception, thereby maintaining homogeneity of its genetic pool. Results of this study recognize P. ochraceus as a single species.

A yearlong nightmare for the European Monetary System (EMS) began in September 1992. Amid name–calling, finger–pointing, and hand–wringing, the British pound and the Italian lira dropped out of the Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM). In succeeding months, virtually every other ERM currency came under attack.1 Three of them—the Spanish peseta, the Portuguese escudo, and the Irish punt—devalued within the system. Three others—the French franc, the Belgian franc, and the Danish krone—avoided devaluation, but only at the price of recurrent and costly rounds of intervention by multiple central banks. Finally, in August 1993, the defenders of the parities surrendered. The twelve EMS countries agreed to expand the fluctuation margins from 2.25 per cent on either side of parity (6 per cent for Spain, Portugal and the UK) to 15 per cent on either side of parity. The wider margins eliminated the potential for speculative attacks, but left the system only the thinnest veneer of exchange rate coordination. This article seeks not to assess the causes of the crisis but rather to explain why the EMS governments did not defuse it with a realignment—the mechanism built into the ERM for precisely such occasions.

La función motora tiene un papel de gran importancia en el desarrollo integral de los individuos, por lo cual la motricidad se presenta como un tema de indudable relevancia dentro de las escuelas. Los estudios previos analizan la importancia de la motricidad en Educación Infantil desde el punto de vista de los docentes, pero consideramos relevante conocer el punto de vista de los futuros docentes para mejorar la formación de los estudiantes universitarios. El presente estudio exploratorio es de tipo descriptivo transversal y de enfoque cuantitativo mediante uso de encuesta, que tiene la intención de conocer las percepciones que los estudiantes del Grado de Maestro en Educación Infantil en relación con la situación de la práctica motora en las aulas. Específicamente, se abordan aspectos relacionados con su percepción hacia su competencia inicial sobre motricidad. Para ello, tuvimos una muestra de 36 estudiantes matriculados en la asignatura de Educación Corporal y Motricidad de cuarto curso del Grado en Educación Infantil en la Facultad de Formación del Profesorado de la Universidad de Extremadura (Cáceres). Todos eran mujeres, con edades comprendidas entre 21 y 25 años. Para medir las percepciones de los estudiantes, utilizamos el Cuestionario para el Análisis de Motricidad en la Educación Infantil (Moreno, et al., 2004). Los resultados nos permiten concluir que los estudiantes perciben la importancia de trabajar la motricidad en las aulas, pero la mayoría de ellos indican que el trabajo realizado no es suficiente. Además, se observó que la competencia para la práctica motriz en los futuros maestros presenta algunas deficiencias. En vista de los resultados, en la educación superior, parece interesante orientar las estrategias de enseñanza y aprendizaje para mejorar la formación de los estudiantes universitarios.
Abstract. Conscious of the role of motor function in the integral development of individuals, motricity is presented as a topic of undoubted relevance within schools. Previous studies analyse the importance of motricity in early childhood schools from a point of view of the teachers, but we consider relevant to know the viewpoint of the future teachers in order to enhance the training of college students. The present exploratory study is of a descriptive cross-sectional type with a quantitative approach, using a survey intended to assess the perceptions of students in Early Childhood Education Teacher in relation to the situation of motor practice in the classrooms. Specifically, aspects related to their perception towards their initial training on motricity are addressed. A sample of 36 students enrolled in the subject of Corporal Education and Motricity from the 4th Grade in Early Chilhood Education Teacher at the Faculty of Teacher Training of the University of Extremadura (Cáceres) was selected. All of them were women, aged between 21 and 25 years. To measure students’ perceptions, we used the Questionnaire for the Analisys of Motricity in Early Chilhood Education (Moreno, et al., 2004). Results allow us to conclude that students perceive that it is important to work motricity in the classrooms, but most of them indicate that work put into it is not enough. Furthermore, it was observed that the competence on motor practice in future teachers presents some shortcomings. In view of the results, in higher education, it seems interesting to guide teaching and learning strategies towards enhancing the training of college students.

Las empresas están cada vez más expuestas a vulnerabilidades debido a la gran incertidumbre del contexto actual, y por ello necesitan estar preparadas para hacer frente a disrupciones. Si una disrupción impacta en una empresa, ésta tendrá que adaptarse a la nueva situación y recuperarse rápidamente para alcanzar su estado normal de operación. Esta capacidad se define como resiliencia empresarial. Con el fin de evaluar cuán resiliente es una empresa, es necesario analizar qué provoca la falta de resiliencia: las disrupciones. Este trabajo propone un marco de categorización de disrupciones, como punto de partida para evaluar la resiliencia empresarial.Palabras Claves: Resiliencia Empresarial, Disrupción, Fuente, Consecuencias, Marco de CategorizaciónEnterprise resilience assessment: a categorisation framework of disruptionsAbstract: Currently, enterprises are more exposed to vulnerabilities and threats due to the recent and uncertain context and this makes enterprises need the capacity to be ready and prepared to face up to more and more expected and unexpected events. If a disruption impacts on an enterprise, the company will have to adapt to this new situation and try to recover as soon as possible to its normal state of operation. This ability has been defined as Enterprise Resilience. The topic of enterprise resilience is an under-researched concept since there are few studies in the literature, which focus on evaluating and assessing this business capacity. Moreover, enterprise resilience is a new innovative research area that evolves from the traditional risk management to a more operational vision of how to manage disruptions. In order to assess how resilient an enterprise is, it is necessary to understand, assess and analyse the factors that affect enterprise resilience. Therefore, the first step is to focus on the trigger that causes this lack of enterprise resilience: the disruptions. This will lead to: (i) support enterprises to be aware of the potential disruptions in which the company has less adaptative ability and (ii) take appropriate decisions to avoid the occurrence of disruptions and/or to mitigate the impact of them once that already happened. To do so, disruptions should be categorized to provide an organized structure that will be the input for further research. This paper proposes a categorisation framework of disruptions which is the starting point to evaluate the resilience capacity of enterprises.Key words: Enterprise Resilience, Disruption, Source, Consequences, Categorization Framework.

The present study was conducted on insect infestation and develops preventive measures of dried fish during July 2017 – June 2018. Six treatments (T1 as control, T2, T3, T4, T5 and T6) were conducted to assess magnitude of infestation and to develop preventive measures to combat the blowfly infestation of the dried punti fish (Puntius sp.) by treating with net, salt, chili powder and turmeric powder. Experiments were done in same temperature, humidity and sunlight (within six days). It was observed that two types (1. Musca domestica and 2. Phormia regina) of flies landed over the fishes after 30-45 minutes kept for drying as there was no dressing of the fishes and no using of nets. After completing the life cycle the blow fly left the fish body and flew away. Finally dry fishes were lost their weight. In this study the protein, lipid, ash and moisture content of Puntius sp. in dried condition ranged from 68.90±1.20% (T6) to 73.20±2.80% (T5), 6.90±0.80% (T4) to 8.90±0.80% (T6), 7.90±0.30% (T1) to 8.70±0.80% (T6) and 8.90±0.30% (T1) to 9.20±0.50% (T4). Protein and lipid contents were significantly varied from each other and there was no significant difference among the six treatments in case of ash contents and moisture contents. T5 shows better result on the basis of chemical test.

Full textAbstract:
Since the late 1950s, scientists have used sediment cores from lakes on the Yucatan Peninsula to explore the complex interactions among climate, environment, and ancient Maya culture. Early paleolimnological studies generally assumed that late Holocene climate was invariable. Consequently, paleolimnologically inferred environmental changes that occurred during the past 3,000 years or so—for example, forest decline and soil erosion—were attributed wholly to anthropogenic activities such as land clearance for agriculture and construction. Recent high-resolution, proxy-based paleoclimate records from continental and insular sites around the Caribbean Sea contradict the assumption of late Holocene climate stability. Instead, these core data suggest that regional drying began about 3,000 years ago and that the past three millennia were characterized by variable moisture availability. Paleoclimate inferences from Lakes Chichancanab and Punta Laguna, northern Yucatan Peninsula, indicate that drought events over the past 2,600 years were cyclical. These dry events, thought to have been driven by solar forcing, appear to have occurred approximately every two centuries (about 208 years). The driest period of the late Holocene occurred between A.D. 800 and 1000, coincident with the Classic Maya Collapse. We review the history of paleolimnological studies in the Maya Lowlands, discuss the difficulty of differentiating climatic signals from anthropogenic signals in late Holocene lake sediment profiles, and assess current understanding of past climate changes in the region based on regional lacustrine sediment studies.

Full textAbstract:
The Chilean hazelnut (Gevuina avellana Mol., Proteaceae) is a native tree of Chile and Argentina of edible fruit-type nut. We applied two approaches to contribute to the development of strategies for mitigation of the effects of climate change and anthropic activities in G. avellana. It corresponds to the first report where both tools are integrated, the MaxEnt model to predict the current and future potential distribution coupled with High-Resolution Melting Analysis (HRM) to assess its genetic diversity and understand how the species would respond to these changes. Two global climate models: CNRM-CM6-1 and MIROC-ES2L for four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways: 126, 245, 370, and 585 (2021–2040; 2061–2080) were evaluated. The annual mean temperature (43.7%) and water steam (23.4%) were the key factors for the distribution current of G. avellana (AUC = 0.953). The future prediction model shows to the year 2040 those habitat range decreases at 50% (AUC = 0.918). The genetic structure was investigated in seven natural populations using eight EST-SSR markers, showing a percentage of polymorphic loci between 18.69 and 55.14% and low genetic differentiation between populations (Fst = 0.052; p < 0.001). According to the discriminant analysis of principal components (DAPC) we identified 10 genetic populations. We conclude that high-priority areas for protection correspond to Los Avellanos and Punta de Águila populations due to their greater genetic diversity and allelic richness.

Full textAbstract:
This paper investigates the translation of raw terrain and territory—rocks, streams, canyons, packs of wild dog and clusters of cyclamen—into two parallel, contrapuntal, and mutually referential forms of textualized landscapes: Israeli nature, landscape, and travel in Grossman's To the End of the Land and Palestinian landscape as figured in Raja Shehadeh’s renderings in Palestinian Walks: Forays into a Vanishing Landscape. By examining Shehadeh's and Grossman’s translations of the same topoi—olive groves, paths in woods, wildlife, wildflowers, wild dogs and their behaviors, streams, footpaths, memorials, walls, and checkpoints—this paper investigates how topographical facts on the map and on the ground— geomorphological, biological, and cultural features of terrain—are differentially translated, transformed and moved into distinctive national natures—the multiple ways in which natural landscapes and national identities are conflated. The paper argues that the cultural and psychological scars of Israeli and Palestinian historical relations over land, boundaries, and political control are saturate landscape descriptions and narratives of “walking the land.” A second question animates this analysis: How are Shehadeh’s and Grossman’s personal histories of “the situation” carried over and translated into these landscapes and travel narratives? Slavoj Zizek asserts “already inscribed into the perceived object itself, in the guise of its [the subject’s] 'blind spot,' …is the point from which the object itself returns the gaze. Sure the picture is in my eye, but I am also in the picture.” Might Zizek’s claim assist us in understanding how the poetics and politics of the Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories are translated into topography and moved, from one place to another, as we see and walk these lands in tropes painted by Grossman’s and Shehadeh’s hands? Resumen Este ensayo investiga la traducción del terreno y el territorio crudos—las rocas, los arroyos, los cañones, las hordas de perros salvajes y los ramilletes de ciclamen—a dos formas paralelas, contrapuntuales y mutuamente referenciales de paisajes textualizados: la naturaleza, el paisaje, y el viajar israelitas en Al Final de la Tierra de Grossman, y el paisaje palestino tal y como está figurado en las representaciones de Raja Shehadeh en Excursiones Palestinas: una incursión en un paisaje en vías de desaparecer. Al examinar las traducciones de Shehadeh y Grossman de los mismos topoi—los bosquecillos de oliva, los senderos en los bosques, la fauna, las flores silvestres, los perros salvajes y sus comportamientos, los arroyos, los senderos, los memoriales, las paredes y los lugares de inspección—este ensayo investiga cómo los hechos topográficos en el mapa y sobre la tierra—los aspectos geomorfológicos, biológicos y culturales del terreno—son traducidos diferencialmente, tranformados y movidos a las naturalezas nacionales distintivas y a los paisajes móviles. El ensayo argumenta que las cicatrices culturales y psicológicas de las relaciones históricas israelitas y palestinas sobre la tierra, las fronteras y el control político están saturadas en las descripciones de los paisajes y las narrativas de “caminando la tierra.” Una segunda cuestión motiva este análisis: ¿Cómo las historias personales de Shehadeh y Grossman de “la situatión” están transportadas y traducidas a estos paisajes y narrativas de viaje? Slavoj Zizek afirma que “ya inscrita dentro del objeto mismo disfrazado en el punto ciego’ del [sujeto]...es el punto del cual el objeto mismo devuele la mirada. Es cierto que la imagen está en mi ojo, pero yo tambíen estoy en la imagen.” ¿Puede que la afirmación de Zizek nos ayude a entender cómo la poética y las políticas de Israel y los territorios ocupados palestinos son traducidas a la topografia y movidos de un lugar a otro mientras vemos y caminamos por estas tierras en tropos pintados por las manos de Grossman y Shehadeh?

El presente es un estudio de obtención de evidencias de validez, cuyo propósito fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas y medir la invarianza según el género de la Escala de Evaluación de Competencias Docentes de Educación Física (EECD-EF) para escuelas secundarias en el contexto mexicano. Los participantes fueron 748 estudiantes de secundaria con una edad media de 13.99 años, de los cuales 374 eran mujeres. Los resultados del Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC) apoyan el modelo unifactorial. La EECD-EF cumple los requisitos de validez convergente. Además, la correlación con la subescala de Satisfacción de la Escala de Satisfacción Intrínseca en la Escuela (ISDS, por sus siglas en inglés) fue positiva y significativa, proporcionando evidencia de validez de asociación con otras variables. Sin embargo, no se encontró una correlación discriminante con la subescala de Aburrimiento. Se concluye que la EECD-EF sirve como instrumento eficaz para evaluar la invarianza de la medida de la competencia de los profesores desde el punto de vista de los alumnos en función del género. Abstract. This is a study to obtain evidence of validity, whose purpose was to analyze the psychometric properties and the measurement invariance by gender of the Teacher Competency Evaluation Scale for Physical Education (EECD-EF, by it acronym in Spanish) for secondary schools in the Mexican context. Participants were 748 high school students with a mean age of 13.99 years, of whom 374 were female. The results from the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) support the unifactorial model. The EECD-EF meets the requirements for convergent validity. In addition, the correlation with the Satisfaction subscale of Intrinsic School Satisfaction Scale (ISDS) was positive and significant, providing evidence of validity of association with other variables. However, no discriminatory correlation was found with the Boredom subscale. It’s concluded that the EECD-EF serves as an efficient instrument to assess the measurement invariance of the teachers’ competency from the students’ point of view according to gender.

Resumen: Las diferencias culturales y lingüísticas son algunos de los principales obstáculos a los que tienen que enfrentarse los/as inmigrantes en el marco de la realidad multicultural y plurilingüe en la que vivimos. En este punto aparece la figura del/la intérprete o mediador intercultural que interviene para que pueda darse una comunicación efectiva. Este trabajo de investigación se centra en los recursos de asistencia lingüística que se ofrecen a las mujeres extranjeras víctimas de violencia de género que han decidido iniciar un proceso judicial.El objetivo principal de esta investigación es analizar el estado de la cuestión de la comunicación con usuarias extranjeras víctimas de violencia de género en el ámbito judicial a través de intérpretes y la evaluación de la protección del derecho al acceso igualitario a la justicia y a la red de asistencia integral. Finalmente, se pretende dar pautas de mejora o creación de un servicio de interpretación de calidad en los juzgados y tribunales españoles, con intérpretes especializados en género para los casos de violencia contra las mujeres. Abstract: Cultural and linguistic differences are some of the main barriers foreigners have to face within the multicultural and multilingual environment we live in. At this point the role of the interpreter or intercultural mediator appears, as he/she acts to facilitate communication. This research focuses on the language assistance resources that are provided to women who suffer from gender-based violence and have decided to start legal proceedings.The aim of this research is to analyse the current situation of communication in legal settings with foreign women who are victims of gender-based violence. I will also assess the protection of the right to equal access to justice and to the complete network of assistance at their disposal. The final goal is to establish recommendations for the improvement and/or creation of a high-quality interpreting service in Spanish Courts that provides trained interpreters specialised in gender for cases of violence against women.

Introducción: El diagnóstico de la infección por Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) se realiza rutinariamente mediante pruebas serológicas mientras que el empleo de métodos moleculares se encuentra aún en proceso de estandarización. Objetivo: Evaluar la capacidad discriminatoria y concordancia entre una prueba serológica y una molecular para determinar la infección por T. cruzi. Métodos: Se realizó Reacción en Cadena de la Polimerasa (PCR) y la prueba de ELISA-F29 en 95 muestras de participantes de la cohorte “Cardiovascular health investigation and collaboration countries of America to assess the markers and outcomes of Chagas disease” CHICAMOCHA. Se evaluó la capacidad discriminatoria del ELISA-F29 respecto al resultado de PCR mediante la estimación del área bajo la curva ROC. Se estimó la tasa de falsos positivos al 25% y sensibilidad al 75%. Se determinó la concordancia mediante kappa de Cohen. Resultados: Se realizaron pruebas de PCR en dos momentos diferentes en 95 individuos (edad media: 38 años; 64% hombres), con tasas de positividad entre 1.1% – 2.2% para los primers S35-S36 y entre 18.3% – 34.7% para los primers 121-122, respectivamente. La capacidad discriminatoria del ELISAF29 respecto a PCR fue 0.62 (IC95%: 0.53; 0.70) y tasa de falsos positivos del 56% (IC95%: 42; 70). El punto de corte óptimo para el cociente de absorbancia fue 2.53 (sensibilidad 59% y especificidad 60%). Para el primer 121-122 los niveles de acuerdo observado y kappas estimados fueron: 52.6% y 0.10 (IC95%: -0.08, 0.28) para la primera medición, 62.4% y 0.09 (IC95%: -0.09, 0.28) para la segunda medición y 57.5% y 0.13 (IC95%: 0.01, 0.26) al evaluar simultáneamente las dos mediciones. Conclusiones: Los resultados demuestran una baja concordancia evidenciada por los valores de kappa determinados en el estudio. Es necesario afinar los estudios para evaluar la utilidad de las pruebas moleculares en el diagnóstico de la Enfermedad de Chagas.
