Efectos económicos y macrofiscales de los recursos naturales en América Latina

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo presentar una evolución detallada del impacto económico y macrofiscal de los recursos naturales en América Latina y el Caribe. Dado el crecimiento importante experimentado por los mismos, que constituyen la principal fuente de exportaciones de los países de la región, se analizará en este trabajo la manera en que los países de la región han utilizado los ingresos adicionales con fines de aprovechamiento fiscal y su consecuente efecto económico (desigualdad, crecimiento) en términos de instrumentos fiscales (recursos tributarios), gobernanza de los recursos naturales y el establecimiento de fondos de estabilización.

Tendencias y ciclos de la formación de capital fijo y la actividad productiva en la economía mexicana, 1960-2015

En este artículo se analiza la inversión y su relación con el crecimiento de la actividad productiva desde una perspectiva de largo plazo que distingue dos etapas en la evolución de la economía mexicana. La primera abarca de 1960 a 1981, años en que el modelo de desarrollo se centró en la industrialización dirigida por el Estado. La segunda cubre 1988-2015, ya bajo una pauta marcada por una serie de reformas orientadas a priorizar la estabilización macroeconómica nominal y reducir el papel del estado en la esfera económica. En este empeño se examinan las tendencias y fluctuaciones cíclicas de la inversión y del PIB, así como su correlación en las fases de impulso y de retraimiento.

Pistas diretas para o tratamento de mordida cruzada posterior

The malocclusions are one focus of discussions in public health, due to which it is necessary to incorporate correction procedures that are inexpensive, easy to perform and which can be made in health services. Planas Direct Tracks meet such characteristics which make them advantageous for the crossbite correction. The aim of this study was to present a case in which correction of unilateral crossbite was performed with the resources available in a public clinic. This is a 6 year-old patient who presented functional unilateral crossbite in canines and posterior teeth. A cross decreased maxillary arch leading to a condition of unilateral posterior crossbite was detected. Occlusal adjustments were performed in canine and posterior teeth; however it was not enough to restore the occlusal balance. It was decided to prepare Planas Direct Tracks in canines, allowing functional balance, which prevented masticatory movement alteration during the growth phase and malocclusion correction. Controls were performed every six months to evaluate the patient's progress and whether or not new occlusal adjustments were necessary. Monitoring and treatment were conducted for 5 years, until stabilization of the permanent dentition ensuring treatment. It is concluded that Planas Direct Tracks were effective for the correction of unilateral posterior crossbite. So, it is essential to note that this procedure can be performed in public services.

Opportunistic microorganisms in patients with head and neck trauma

The use of antimicrobial agents has facilitated the dissemination of multi-resistant microorganisms, compromising dental and medical treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution of different opportunistic microbial species in patients who suffered head and neck trauma, under temporary maintenance in nosocomial environment, particularly intensive care units, on the occurrence of such microorganisms in the oral cavity of the patients. It was selected 38 patients subjected to head and neck traumas. After emergency surgical procedures, clinical samples of saliva, sub and supragingival biofilms and mucosal surfaces were collected at two different moments: just after stabilization of the patient and soon after patients’ release from medical units. The presence of opportunistic and superinfecting microorganisms was evaluated by culture on selective and non-selective media, and the presence of the family Enterobacteriaceae, as well as genera Enterococcus, Pseudomonas, and Staphylococcus was assessed by PCR. It was found that the use of antimicrobials, even for short periods of time was sufficient to facilitate colonization by microorganisms of the families Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonadaceae, as well as yeasts and enterococci. These results support the concept that medical and dental teams should make a periodically change of antimicrobials used in treatment protocols in hospital for head and neck trauma patients, in order to minimize dissemination of opportunistic or superinfecting microorganisms.

As etapas da carreira docente e o processo de formação continuada de professores de Educação Física

In this research, qualitative, aimed to analyze the meanings assigned by Physical Education teachers to the relationship between continuing education and professional development stages. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight state public school teachers of Bauru/SP. The data were analyzed following the theory referential of HUBERMAN (2000), relatively to the concept of professional life cycles, and found that as well as other factors of the teaching career, on the extent of continuing education teachers also have different needs at each moment professional. In summary concluded: the early stage to teaching, they seek activities to improve pedagogical practice; stabilization phase: to solve problems in the educational context and to disseminate the academic content between teachers; diversifi cation phase: to provide a basis to work new content and to make constant updates according to educational innovations; serenity/exit: they feel the need to attend training activities in different spaces of the school.

Ambiente térmico y el bienestar de los cerdos en el período de descanso previo al sacrificio

The research aimed to evaluate the relationship between the thermal environment of the rest pens in a pig slaughterhouse and the surface temperature (ST) of the animals as well as the effect of intermittent water spraying on thermal comfort. There were two visits to slaughter industrial being in each selected three pens of rest, one for control treatment (no spray throughout the period) and two for the treatment of intermittent spraying water (30 minutes intervals with constant spray followed by 30 minutes then turned off). Assessments began at the time of discharging animals in which are taken the thermographic images from lots using an infrared thermographic camera. After housing in the pens, were registered the thermographic images and the respiratory frequency (RF) every five minutes for four hours. Were evaluated the temperature, relative humidity and temperature-humidity index (THI). Considering the values of THI was observed that the animals remained in a condition of comfort only at the time of his arrival at the slaughterhouse. The ST and RF of the animals kept in the pens without sprinkler system (control) showed a linear increase in function of time of day, with increasing temperature. The treatment with intermittent sprinkling of water was observed oscillatory behavior of the ST and RF, however it was always lower than the control treatment, even in times when the water sprinklers were turned off. The time required of spray to reduction and stabilization of the ST of the animals was limited to the combination of temperature and relative humidity, being estimated at 25 minutes at times of higher THI. The maximum environmental temperature during evaluation was 28.4 oC.

Frequency and precision of feedback and the adaptive process of learning a dual motor task

This work investigated the effects of frequency and precision of feedback on the learning of a dual-motor task. One hundred and twenty adults were randomly assigned to six groups of different knowledge of results (KR), frequency (100%, 66% or 33%) and precision (specific or general) levels. In the stabilization phase, participants performed the dual task (combination of linear positioning and manual force control) with the provision of KR. Ten non-KR adaptation trials were performed for the same task, but with the introduction of an electromagnetic opposite traction force. The analysis showed a significant main effect for frequency of KR. The participants who received KR in 66% of the stabilization trials showed superior adaptation performance than those who received 100% or 33%. This finding reinforces that there is an optimal level of information, neither too high nor too low, for motor learning to be effective.

Problemática ambiental en la isla de La Graciosa: ¿Hay déficit de arena actual en sistemas playa-duna?

[ES] La isla La Graciosa está situada al noroeste de Lanzarote y tiene una extensión de 27,05 km2. Se trata de un área que presenta un alto valor ecológico pues está protegida a través de diferentes figuras tales como: Parque Natural y Reserva Marina del Archipiélago Chinijo, Reserva de la Biosfera de Lanzarote, Zona de Especial Protección de aves (ZEPA) y Zona de Especial Conservación (ZEC), entre otras. En la isla hay varios sistemas playa-duna tanto en la mitad nororiental de la isla (Las Conchas, Lambra y El Jablillo) como en su parte meridional (Barranco de Los Conejos, Las Caletas, El Salado y Francesa). Algunas de las playas muestran evidencias de un déficit sedimentario pues tienen una reducida o nula entrada de sedimentos arenosos al sistema y/o muestran procesos erosivos que hacen aparecer el substrato rocoso. Además, se observa en el interior de la isla la estabilización de los mantos eólicos por la vegetación. Estos ambientes eólicos costeros son esenciales, tanto para la preservación de los ecosistemas protegidos, como para la actividad turística insular. En este contexto se están desarrollando investigaciones multidisciplinares para elaborar un diagnóstico científico de esta problemática ambiental, determinando si las causas de este déficit sedimentario son naturales o antrópicas, y proponer soluciones al respecto.

La empresa jesuítica. En: Estudios Regionales, v. 1, n° 1

Los miembros de la Compañía de Jesús convocados para llevar adelante la Conquista espiritual de los Guaraníes, formaron con los 30 pueblos misioneros una verdadera empresa que actuó en Río de la Plata y que reúne, junto a los rasgos espirituales y heroicos, las características propias de una organización en la que el interés del beneficio económico está presente. Pero esto no siempre fue así, ya que al principio se observa una actividad misional exclusivamente, luego hay una etapa en que los conflictos con los factores externos hacen peligrar el proyecto y finalmente se produce la estabilización y la consolidación de actividades comerciales. Determinar las etapas de dicho cambio, esla intención de este trabajo.
