El abordaje transcultural de la mutilación genital femenina

Este trabajo es una revisión bibliográfica, que tiene como finalidad la revisión de la literatura existente sobre la ablación genital femenina para mejorar el conocimiento de la misma, así como dar a conocer esta práctica y la importancia de la formación continuada de los profesionales sanitarios para poder abordar adecuadamente problemas transculturales como es el caso de la mutilación genital femenina (MGF) ya que su conocimiento determina la atención que las mujeres y niñas reciben por parte del sistema sanitario. Se ha llevado a cabo una revisión de los documentos encontrados en diversas fuentes, destacando monografías y bases de datos centrándonos en la temática de la MGF y todo lo relativo a ella. Los resultados obtenidos nos muestran que sobre este tema se ha investigado y avanzado mucho, luchando por los derechos humanos de las niñas y mujeres. Sin embargo esto no es suficiente, se hace necesaria la formación de los profesionales sanitarios en competencia cultural así como la concienciación sobre la importancia de la prevención precoz para aplicar cuidados de calidad. En conclusión la MGF no es sólo un problema que afecta a determinadas culturas sino que atañe al conjunto de la sociedad. Los profesionales sanitarios con una adecuada formación sobre cuidados culturales pueden desempeñar un papel fundamental en la erradicación de esta práctica.

Dissolved CO2 and Alkane Gas in Clay Formations

Characterization of dissolved CO2 and alkane gas in clayrocks may help assessing the confinement properties of geological barriers considered as potential host rocks for a deep geological disposal as well as for caprocks of gas storages. A monitoring of alkanes with CO2, combined with carbon isotopes was performed on core samples coming from Underground Research Laboratories (Bure, Mont Terri, Tournemire) and the Schlattingen borehole in France and Switzerland. Composition of hydrocarbon gas and delta C-13 of methane strongly suggest a dominant thermogenic origin of methane which is mixed with a bacterial origin for the Toarcian shales, Pliensbachien and Callovian-Oxfordian clayrocks. Results also evidence the contrasted behavior of CO2, which is controlled by chemical equilibrium between pore water and carbonate mineralogy, compared to the alkanes which are present in the porosity as a stock of dissolved gases which can be depleted during degassing experiments.

Mineral, chemical and isotope compositions of clay subfractions from formations of the Srednii Peninsula, Murmansk coast of the Barents Sea

Fine-grained clay subfractions (SFs) with particle size of <0.1, 0.1-0.2, 0.2-0.3, 0.3-0.6, 0.6-2.0, and 2-5 µm separated from claystone of Upper Precambrian Pumanskaya and Poropelonskaya formations on the Srednii Peninsula were studied by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Rb-Sr methods. All subfractions consist of low-temperature illite and chlorite, and contribution of chlorite decreases with diminishing particle size. The crystallinity index and I002/I001 ratio increase from coarse- to fine-grained SFs. Leaching by ammonium acetate solution and Rb-Sr systematics in combination with mineralogical and morphological data indicate that illite in Upper Proterozoic claystone from the Srednii Peninsula formed during three time intervals: 810-830, 610-620, and about 570 Ma ago. The first generation of this mineral with low Rb/Sr ratio dominates in coarse-grained SFs while the second and third generations with a high Rb/Sr ratio prevail in fine-grained SFs. All of three generations are known in Poropelon claystone, whereas Puman claystone contains only illite of the first and second generations. Geological processes responsible for multistage illite evolution in claystones are discussed.
