El neoconstitucionalismo nos enmarca dentro de una nueva propuesta de Estado constitucional de derechos y justicia, idea que nos permite comprender que como nunca antes en la historia del constitucionalismo ecuatoriano, múltiples derechos vinculados con la participación social han sido reivindicados y reconocidos como una novedad en la Constitución de Montecristi. Entre estos derechos se encuentra el de resistencia, necesario e insustituible para que el pueblo de forma individual o colectiva pueda ejercer el derecho innato de defensa ante la arbitrariedad y abuso de los poderes públicos o privados y también para utilizarlo como “un medio directo de participación del pueblo en la política.” En esta tesis reviso como sería entendida por la sociedad ecuatoriana la invocación del derecho a la resistencia en el marco sistemático de la Constitución del 2008 y señalo que una comprensión sobre unos límites débiles del derecho a la protesta, podría llevarnos a pensar que existiría un conflicto de derechos constitucionales en las diferentes manifestaciones de actos de resistencia colectiva, mismos que podrían haber sido zanjados con la aplicación de normas infraconstitucionales en la sustanciación de diferentes procesos penales; de ahí la importancia de que los operadores de justicia dejen de lado un criterio de solución estándar al momento de resolver los casos en los que se ha invocado este derecho constitucional, y de que consideren también que podría existir una trilogía en el ejercicio de la resistencia colectiva, pues la protesta social sería entendido como un medio para la invocación de este derecho, ya que la resistencia al ser entendida como un derecho de participación en el marco constitucional actual, podría considerarse como el fin de estos actos colectivos de protesta. Finalmente en este planteamiento, los actos de resistencia colectiva encontrarían protección no solo constitucional sino internacional porque existiría una conexidad de éstos con los derechos a la libertad de expresión, reunión, manifestación y asociación.

A inicios del siglo XX Ecuador era un país eminentemente rural. Por lo tanto, abordar el tema de la modernización urbana de Quito de 1895 a 1932 exige un tratamiento que incluya necesariamente la realidad del campo. Un acercamiento a este hecho descubre a una fracción de la élite terrateniente que mantuvo un vínculo orgánico con los procesos de modernización urbana. Desde este punto de vista, la ciudad no solo era destino de la renta extraída en el sistema de la hacienda, sino que tenía importancia como espacio para la representación del poder. En ese contexto, nos parece lógico pensar en la posibilidad del desplazamiento y continuidad de los dispositivos de dominación del campo a la ciudad. Pero ¿cómo ocurre y cómo entender este desplazamiento? Pensamos que introducir el componente espacial en el análisis de las relaciones de poder nos permite evidenciar este proceso. Proceso que en este estudio está delimitado a una noción particular de «espacio público» marcado por el liberalismo y que tiene como correlato la construcción de un tipo ideal de ciudadano.

«La soberanía reside en el pueblo». En este precepto descansa el sistema democrático; sin embargo, en sociedades con una elevada desigualdad social, la participación del pueblo en la toma de decisiones mediante canales institucionales es casi inexistente. Las acciones colectivas y los movimientos sociales surgen, en estos contextos, como la única oportunidad de quienes han sido excluidos del debate político para hacer escuchar su voz. La protesta social ha conseguido en Ecuador la inclusión o ampliación de derechos en la Constitución y la ley, detener la agenda neoliberal e inclusive revocar de facto el mandato a tres presidentes de la república. La participación popular no institucional en la conducción de los asuntos públicos fue reconocida en la Constitución mediante el derecho a la resistencia. Sin embargo, la otra cara es la criminalización de la protesta. Sucesivos gobiernos han utilizado al derecho penal como herramienta de amedrentamiento y desmovilización de los movimientos sociales. El presente trabajo analiza la interrelación del derecho a la resistencia y la criminalización. En él se defiende que la constitucionalización del derecho a la resistencia genera consecuencias jurídicas que alteran el sistema de fuentes del derecho, la aplicación del derecho penal e inclusive la forma en que se conciben los conceptos de participación política y democracia.

Enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157 : H7 is a bacterial pathogen that can cause haemorrhagic colitis and haemolytic uremic syndrome. In the primary reservoir host, cattle, the terminal rectum is the principal site of E. coli O157 colonization. In this study, bovine terminal rectal primary epithelial cells were used to examine the role of H7 flagella in epithelial adherence. Binding of a fliC(H7) mutant O157 strain to rectal epithelium was significantly reduced as was binding of the flagellated wild-type strain following incubation with H7-specific antibodies. Complementation of fliC(H7) mutant O157 strain with fliC(H7) restored the adherence to wild-type levels; however, complementation with fliC(H6) did not restore it. High-resolution ultrastructural and imunofluorescence studies demonstrated the presence of abundant flagella forming physical contact points with the rectal epithelium. Binding to terminal rectal epithelium was specific to H7 by comparison with other flagellin types tested. In-cell Western assays confirmed temporal expression of flagella during O157 interaction with epithelium, early expression was suppressed during the later stages of microcolony and attaching and effacing lesion formation. H7 flagella are expressed in vivo by individual bacteria in contact with rectal mucosa. Our data demonstrate that the H7 flagellum acts as an adhesin to bovine intestinal epithelium and its involvement in this crucial initiating step for colonization indicates that H7 flagella could be an important target in intervention strategies.

O traçado de obras com características lineares num espaço geográfico tem, em princípio, um número muito grande de soluções. A seleção de traçados mais convenientes é hoje abordada pela Pesquisa Operacional por meio da Programação Dinâmica tradicional e das técnicas para resolver o problema conhecido como leastcost- path, (caminho de mínimo custo). Por sua vez, o planejamento de espaços geográficos é feito com o auxílio de técnicas de SIG (sistemas de informação geográfica). O estudo algorítmico dos caminhos de mínimo custo não é novidade e até os programas comerciais para SIG mais utilizados têm incorporado comandos que, com certas limitações, resolvem esse problema. Mas, seja qual for a abordagem, sempre é preciso conhecer a priori a funçãoobjetivo (FO), e isto não é tarefa fácil, pois devem ser conjugados objetivos de satisfação de necessidades sociais, políticas, ambientais e econômicas, o que gera um verdadeiro problema de otimização multiobjetivo e multicritério. Este trabalho teve como foco principal elaborar um modelo de decisão para ajudar na formulação da FO, adotando o paradigma multiobjetivo/multicritério, explorando inclusive o relaxamento difuso de pareceres dos decisores. Foram utilizadas apenas ferramentas computacionais (software e hardware) simples, de ampla difusão entre os engenheiros e de baixo custo, como a planilha de cálculo Excel e o programa Idrisi 32, procurando explorar suas aptidões e limitações, sem recorrer à elaboração e/ou utilização de códigos computacionais próprios, sobre os quais muitas pessoas sentem receios até não serem testados suficientemente. Foi obtido um sistema de apoio à decisão eficaz e de fácil utilização e sua possibilidade de aplicação foi testada na definição do traçado ótimo de parte da defesa norte da cidade de Resistencia (Argentina).

The virulence of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis can be attenuated or lost after long periods of repeated subculturing and reestablished after animal inoculation. Only one adhesin (gp43) has been described until now, among the various identified components of P. brasiliensis, and gp43 shows adhesion to laminin. Thus, the present study was designed to isolate and characterize factors putatively related to the capacity of this fungus to adhere to the host by comparing P brasiliensis samples, taken before and after animal inoculation. The two samples differed in their pattern of adhesion and invasion. The sample recently isolated from animals (Pb18b) demonstrated a greater capacity to adhere and to invade the Vero cells than the one subcultured in vitro (Pb18a). Extract from Ph18b also showed higher levels of protein expression than that from Pb18a, when two-dimensional electrophoresis gels were compared. A protein species of 30 kDa, pI 4.9, was more evident in the Pb18b extract and had properties of adhesin. Laminin, but none of the other extracellular matrix (ECM) components, such as fibronectin, collagen I and IV, bound specifically to the P. brasiliensis 30 kDa protein. The roles of 30 kDa and gp43 in cellular interactions were investigated and the adhesion of P. brasiliensis yeast cells was intensively inhibited by pre-treatment of epithelial cells with 30 kDa protein and gp43. Thus, this study presents evidence that adhesion capacity could be related to virulence, and that a 30 kDa adhesin accumulated differentially in samples with different levels of pathogenicity. This protein and its adhesion characteristics are being published for the first time and may be related to the virulence of P brasiliensis. (c) 2005 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is an important fungal pathogen. The disease it causes, paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), ranges from localized pulmonary infection to systemic processes that endanger the life of the patient. Paracoccidioides brasiliensis adhesion to host tissues contributes to its virulence, but we know relatively little about molecules and the molecular mechanisms governing fungal adhesion to mammalian cells. Triosephosphate isomerase (TPI: EC 5.3.1.1) of P. brasiliensis (PbTPI) is a fungal antigen characterized by microsequencing of peptides. The protein, which is predominantly expressed in the yeast parasitic phase, localizes at the cell wall and in the cytoplasmic compartment. TPI and the respective polyclonal antibody produced against this protein inhibited the interaction of P. brasiliensis to in vitro cultured epithelial cells. TPI binds preferentially to laminin, as determined by peptide inhibition assays. Collectively, these results suggest that TPI is required for interactions between P. brasiliensis and extracellular matrix molecules such as laminin and that this interaction may play an important role in the fungal adherence and invasion of host cells.

Filamentous haemagglutinin adhesin (FHA) is an important virulence factor from Bordetella pertussis related to the adhesion and spread of the bacteria through the respiratory tract. Three distinct domains have been characterized in mature FHA, and among them, the FHA(442-863) fragment was suggested to be responsible for the heparin-binding activity. In this study, we cloned the gene encoding the HEP fragment (FHA(430-873)) in a Lactobacillus casei-inducible expression vector based on the lactose operon. The recombinant bacteria, transformed with the resulting construct (L. casei-HEP), were able to express the heterologous protein depending on the sugar added to the culture. Subcutaneous inoculation of L. casei-HEP in Balb/C mice, using the cholera toxin B subunit as adjuvant, induced systemic anti-HEP antibodies that were able to inhibit in vitro erythrocyte haemagglutination induced by FHA. This is the first example of a B. pertussis antigen produced in lactic acid bacteria and opens new perspectives for alternative vaccine strategies against whooping cough.

Since 1988 to 1992, a study about susceptibility to antimicrobial drugs of bacterias isolated from hospitalized patients was performed. The compared susceptibility to important drugs (ampicillin, cephalotin, cefoxitin, ceftaxizime, ceftriaxone, aztreonam, gentamicin, amikacin, pefloxacin, ciprofloxacin, imipenem, oxacillin and vancomycin) was investigated in 1200 strains (300 of each specie) of the prevalent bacterias: E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and S. aureus. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) was determined by agar dilution method, using from 0.05 to 256 mcg of each drug per ml of culture medium (Mueller-Hinton). Ranges of MIC, MIC(50%), MIC(90%) and the proportion of resistant strains were determined and permitted to know the 4 drugs that were found to be more active against bacterias; the CIM(90%) values are: E. coli - aztreonam (0.1 mcg/ml), pefloxacin (0.1), ceftazidime (0.25) and ceftriaxone (0.05); K. pneumoniae-aztreonam (0.25) ceftriaxone (0.25), ceftazidime (0.5) and pefloxacin (2.0); P. aeruginosa-imipenem (4.0), aztreonam (16), ceftazidime (16) and ciprofloxacin (16); S. aureus-vancomycin (1.01, ciprofloxacin (8, 0), amikacin (128) and cephalothin (128 mg/ml). The better 'in vitro' antibacterial activity observed was related to: aztreonam (77-100% of the sensitive strains), ceftazidime (50-99,7%), pefloxacin (73-99,7%), ciprofloxacin (80%), imipenem (93%) and vancomycin (100%).

Paracoccidoides brasiliensis adhesion to lung epithelial cells is considered an essential event for the establishment of infection and different proteins participate in this process. One of these proteins is a 30 kDa adhesin, pI 4.9 that was described as a laminin ligand in previous studies, and it was more highly expressed in more virulent P. brasiliensis isolates. This protein may contribute to the virulence of this important fungal pathogen. Using Edman degradation and mass spectrometry analysis, this 30 kDa adhesin was identified as a 14-3-3 protein. These proteins are a conserved group of small acidic proteins involved in a variety of processes in eukaryotic organisms. However, the exact function of these proteins in some processes remains unknown. Thus, the goal of the present study was to characterize the role of this protein during the interaction between the fungus and its host. To achieve this goal, we cloned, expressed the 14-3-3 protein in a heterologous system and determined its subcellular localization in in vitro and in vivo infection models. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed the ubiquitous distribution of this protein in the yeast form of P. brasiliensis, with some concentration in the cytoplasm. Additionally, this 14-3-3 protein was also present in P. brasiliensis cells at the sites of infection in C57BL/6 mice intratracheally infected with P. brasiliensis yeast cells for 72 h (acute infections) and 30 days (chronic infection). An apparent increase in the levels of the 14-3-3 protein in the cell wall of the fungus was also noted during the interaction between P. brasiliensis and A549 cells, suggesting that this protein may be involved in host-parasite interactions, since inhibition assays with the protein and this antibody decreased P. brasiliensis adhesion to A549 epithelial cells. Our data may lead to a better understanding of P. brasiliensis interactions with host tissues and paracoccidioidomycosis pathogenesis. © 2013 Silva et al.
