El PNUD calcula todos los años el Índice de Desarrollo Humano (IDH). El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los antecedentes y las perspectivas futuras del desarrollo humano a partir de los datos de este índice durante el periodo 1970-2000. Esto es, comprobar, a partir de los datos pasados, si las diferencias entre el IDH de los países del mundo están aumentando y valorar la tendencia del IDH esperada para los próximos años. En definitiva, se trata de buscar respuesta a la siguiente pregunta ¿cómo se modificarán los niveles de desarrollo humano en el futuro? Para ello, se utiliza la metodología estadística del análisis dinámico de distribución mediante las cadenas de Markov.

Un entrenamiento musical de larga duración durante la infancia y/o adolescencia puede reducir la degeneración neuronal que, inevitablemente, se produce con la edad. Hoy día, gracias a las técnicas de neuroimagen, es posible "ver" que ocurre en el interior de nuestro cerebro cuando estamos sometidos a diversos estímulos, entre ellos los musicales. Si utilizamos marcadores radioactivos, a través de las técnicas denominadas Tomografía por Emisión de Positrones (PET), podremos ver qué ocurre con el metabolismo cerebral. La neurología musical es un estimulante campo para los científicos.

OBJETIVO: Avaliar a reprodutibilidade interobservador dos índices de vascularização do Doppler de amplitude tridimensional (Doppler de amplitude 3D) no primeiro trimestre de gestação. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Realizou-se estudo de reprodutibilidade com 32 gestantes normais entre 7 e 10 semanas e 6 dias. Para o cálculo do volume tridimensional dos embriões utilizou-se o método VOCAL (Virtual Organ Computer-aided AnaLysis) com ângulo de rotação de 12°. Em seguida obtiveram-se, automaticamente, os três índices vasculares do Doppler de amplitude 3D: índice de vascularização (VI), índice de fluxo (FI) e índice de vascularização e fluxo (VFI). Para o cálculo da variabilidade interobservador, um examinador realizou uma segunda medida dos 32 embriões e um segundo examinador realizou uma terceira medida dos mesmos volumes, ambos desconhecendo os resultados do outro. Utilizaram-se, para análise estatística, o coeficiente de correlação intraclasse (CCI) e gráficos de Bland-Altman. RESULTADOS: Observou-se boa reprodutibilidade interobservador dos três índices vasculares. O VI apresentou CCI = 0,9 e média da diferença = -1,1; o FI apresentou CCI = 0,9 e média da diferença = -0,5; e o VFI apresentou CCI = 0,9 e média da diferença = -1,1. CONCLUSÃO: Os índices vasculares do Doppler de amplitude 3D do embrião no primeiro trimestre de gestação foram altamente reprodutíveis, em especial o FI.

El acceso al agua potable y al saneamiento sin discriminación ha sido formalmente elevado a la condición de derecho humano internacionalmente reconocido en la resolución 64/292 de la Asamblea General, de 28 de julio de 2010. El propósito del artículo es dotar de contenido dicha declaración sobre la base de los trabajos del comité DESC y de la relatora especial de la ONU sobre el derecho al agua potable y al saneamiento, haciendo una especial referencia a la situación específica del continente europeo. Se desprenden de la investigación unos contenidos mínimos del derecho al agua y al saneamiento que los estados deben respetar en toda circunstancia.

A preliminary analyses of the possible contamination of superficial and underground water by the active ingredients of the pesticide products used in the surroundings of the urban area of Primavera do Leste, Mato Grosso, Brazil, was carried out. A description of the study region and of its environmental characteristics, which can favor the contamination of the local aquatic environment, was presented. The EPA screening criteria, the groundwater ubiquity score (GUS) and the criteria proposed by Goss were used to evaluate which pesticides might contaminate the local waters. Among the active ingredients studied, several present risks to the local aquatic environment.

La Permacultura, los Paisajes de retención de agua y la Economía del bien común, se configuran como una alternativa a la situación actual de la agricultura. Mediante la combinación de estas corrientes, se puede desarrollar una agricultura más respetuosa con el entorno natural capaz de ayudar a regenerarlo. Una buena gestión del suelo fija y estabiliza el CO2 y gracias a los paisajes de captación de agua, se consigue cosechar el agua, infiltrándose en los ecosistemas y llenándolos de vida. Sumado a una correcta gestión del agua se mitigan los efectos del cambio climático en nuestras latitudes. Finalmente la economía del bien común, nos permite crear sistemas económicos más justos y sociales, encajando a la perfección con los principios de la Permacultura. Para poder aplicar dicho concepto actualmente, establecer el sistema agrícola como un sistema asociativo (asociación sin ánimo de lucro), nos permite fijar unos precios estables y sociales, dando especial importancia a la mano de obra y a la autosuficiencia.

Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) has been used for the determination of twenty minor and trace elements in hair samples from an urban population group (N = 1775), aiming at the establishment of reliable hair reference intervals. Statistical evaluation of the data with respect to age, sex and anatomic region was performed by multivariant analysis and according to recommendations of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC). The results show that mainly age and anatomic region (scalp or pubis) influence significantly the concentration of several elements. Comparison of the here calculated reference intervals with those previously published and used by clinical laboratories for this population showed larger discrepancies and the need for an urgent revision of these data.

The literature carries many theories about the mechanism of action of local anesthetics (LA). We can highlight those focusing the direct effect of LA on the sodium channel protein and the ones that consider the interaction of anesthetic molecules with the lipid membrane phase. The interaction between local anesthetics and human erythrocyte membranes has been studied by ¹H and 31P nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. It was found that lidocaine (LDC) and benzocaine (BZC) bind to the membranes, increase the mobility of the protons of the phospholipid's acyl chains, and decrease the mobility and/or change the structure of the polar head groups. The results indicate that lidocaine molecules are inserted across the polar and liquid interface of the membrane, establishing both electrostatic (charged form) and hydrophobic (neutral form) interactions. Benzocaine locates itself a little deeper in the bilayer, between the interfacial glycerol region and the hydrophobic core. These changes in mobility or conformation of membrane lipids could affect the Na+-channel protein insertion in the bilayer, stabilizing it in the inactivated state, thus causing anesthesia.

European Directive (98/83/CE), compulsory after 2008, states that bromate in drinking water must be controlled at levels below 10 mg L-1. Supporting implementation of the Directive, the European Comission has established project SMT4-CT96 2134, in collaboration with various european institutions, aiming at the identification of the interferents to the current analytical method (Ionic Chromatography with Conductimetric Detection - IC/CD), their removal and the automation of pre-treatment and injection steps, as well as the development of alternative methods. EPAL, responsible for the water supply to a great deal of Portuguese regions, has taken steps to meet these requirements. Although not part of such project, this work (the result of a project conducted under a protocol of collaboration between EPAL SA and FCUL - Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon), reports on studies of usefulness to laboratories planning to monitor bromate in ozone treated waters, in conditions different from those described in EPA 300.1. Simultaneous determination of bromide is justified by its role as bromate precursor.

The aim of the present work was to test the combination of non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) isolation using fumed silicon dioxide with capillary gas-chromatography (C-GC) with splitless injection for the analysis of NEFAs in human plasma. Injection volume, solvent re-condensation and split purge flow-rate were the parameters evaluated for the analysis of fatty acid methyl esters by C-GC. The use of a solvent re-condensation technique, associated with 1.0 µL injection and a split purge flow rate of 80 mL/min resulted in satisfactory analysis of NEFAs. Fourteen fatty acids were identified in plasma samples, ranging from 2.03 to 184.0 µmol/L. The combination of both techniques proved useful for routine analyses of plasma NEFAs.

The alteration in the quality of groundwater in the industrial zone of Brazil's southernmost state was assessed by a hydrogeochemical study. In 70-85% of the studied area, fluoride, nitrate and phosphate in groundwater surpass the maximum limits for human consumption according to Brazilian environmental legislation. The chemical spectrum of contaminants and their spatial distribution show that fertilizer production processes are responsible for groundwater pollution. The natural conditions of the region are not favorable for minimal protection against infiltration of pollutants into the aquifer.

Since the last decade, the combined use of chemometrics and molecular spectroscopic techniques has become a new alternative for direct drug determination, without the need of physical separation. Among the new methodologies developed, the application of PARAFAC in the decomposition of spectrofluorimetric data should be highlighted. The first objective of this article is to describe the theoretical basis of PARAFAC. For this purpose, a discussion about the order of chemometric methods used in multivariate calibration and the development of multi-dimensional methods is presented first. The other objective of this article is to divulge for the Brazilian chemical community the potential of the combination PARAFAC/spectrofluorimetry for the determination of drugs in complex biological matrices. For this purpose, two applications aiming at determining, respectively, doxorrubicine and salicylate in human plasma are presented.
