Oficio de historiador - Enfoques y prácticas -

El libro Oficio de historiador. Enfoques y prácticas muestra diversos panoramas reflexivos de la disciplina de la historia, según miradas interpretativas que van de los objetos del oficio de historiador hasta las apuestas de la escritura en la apertura de las potencialidades de los enfoques, a la hora de examinar las huellas de la memoria impresas en los materiales de la historia. Este libro es el resultado del análisis, corrección y puesta en obra de un gran número de ponencias de la IV Muestra Regional de Historia, realizada en Medellín en el mes de septiembre de 2012, evento que tuvo como principal propósito recordar a la historiadora fallecida Beatriz Patiño (1952-2012). El libro está integrado por tres partes, siguiendo los marcos temporales desarrollados por los autores en sus textos, según problemáticas históricas propias de los siglos XVIII, XIX y XX. La diversidad de temas abordados, los cuales revelan los enfoques y prácticas el oficio del historiador en Antioquia, manifiestan el profundo interés que ha suscitado la transición del período colonial al período republicano, la sociedad colombiana en el siglo XIX y las características de Colombia en el siglo XX. Esta organización de la obra y los abordajes de sus capítulos manifiestan una serie de orientaciones e intereses temáticos que van desde asuntos políticos, sociales y culturales hasta económicos, con trabajos de orden local, nacional, internacional y global.

Perceptions of aging across 26 cultures and their culture-level associates

College students (N = 3,435) in 26 cultures reported their perceptions of age-related changes in physical, cognitive, and socioemotional areas of functioning and rated societal views of aging within their culture. There was widespread cross-cultural consensus regarding the expected direction of aging trajectories with (1) perceived declines in societal views of aging, physical attractiveness, the ability to perform everyday tasks, and new learning, (2) perceived increases in wisdom, knowledge, and received respect, and (3) perceived stability in family authority and life satisfaction. Cross-cultural variations in aging perceptions were associated with culture-level indicators of population aging, education levels, values, and national character stereotypes. These associations were stronger for societal views on aging and perceptions of socioemotional changes than for perceptions of physical and cognitive changes. A consideration of culture-level variables also suggested that previously reported differences in aging perceptions between Asian and Western countries may be related to differences in population structure.

Functional role of cell surface CUB domain-containing protein 1 in tumour cell dissemination

The function of CUB domain-containing protein 1 (CDCP1), a recently described transmembrane protein expressed on the surface of hematopoietic stem cells and normal and malignant cells of different tissue origin, is not well defined. The contribution of CDCP1 to tumor metastasis was analyzed by using HeLa carcinoma cells overexpressing CDCP1 (HeLa-CDCP1) and a high-disseminating variant of prostate carcinoma PC-3 naturally expressing high levels of CDCP1 (PC3-hi/diss). CDCP1 expression rendered HeLa cells more aggressive in experimental metastasis in immunodeficient mice. Metastatic colonization by HeLa-CDCP1 was effectively inhibited with subtractive immunization-generated, CDCP1-specific monoclonal antibody (mAb) 41-2, suggesting that CDCP1 facilitates relatively late stages of the metastatic cascade. In the chick embryo model, time- and dose-dependent inhibition of HeLa-CDCP1 colonization by mAb 41-2 was analyzed quantitatively to determine when and where CDCP1 functions during metastasis. Quantitative PCR and immunohistochemical analyses indicated that CDCP1 facilitated tumor cell survival soon after vascular arrest. Live cell imaging showed that the function-blocking mechanism of mAb 41-2 involved enhancement of tumor cell apoptosis, confirmed by attenuation of mAb 41-2–mediated effects with the caspase inhibitor z-VAD-fmk. Under proapoptotic conditions in vitro, CDCP1 expression conferred HeLa-CDCP1 cells with resistance to doxorubicin-induced apoptosis, whereas ligation of CDCP1 with mAb 41-2 caused additional enhancement of the apoptotic response. The functional role of naturally expressed CDCP1 was shown by mAb 41-2–mediated inhibition of both experimental and spontaneous metastasis of PC3-hi/diss. These findings confirm that CDCP1 functions as an antiapoptotic molecule and indicate that during metastasis CDCP1 facilitates tumor cell survival likely during or soon after extravasation.

The validity and structure of culture-level personality scores: Data from ratings of young adolescents

We examined properties of culture-level personality traits in ratings of targets (N=5,109) ages 12 to 17 in 24 cultures. Aggregate scores were generalizable across gender, age, and relationship groups and showed convergence with culture-level scores from previous studies of self-reports and observer ratings of adults, but they were unrelated to national character stereotypes. Trait profiles also showed cross-study agreement within most cultures, 8 of which had not previously been studied. Multidimensional scaling showed that Western and non-Western cultures clustered along a dimension related to Extraversion. A culture-level factor analysis replicated earlier findings of a broad Extraversion factor but generally resembled the factor structure found in individuals. Continued analysis of aggregate personality scores is warranted.

The inaccuracy of national character stereotypes

Consensual stereotypes of some groups are relatively accurate, whereas others are not. Previous work suggesting that national character stereotypes are inaccurate has been criticized on several grounds. In this article we (a) provide arguments for the validity of assessed national mean trait levels as criteria for evaluating stereotype accuracy and (b) report new data on national character in 26 cultures from descriptions (N= 3323) of the typical male or female adolescent, adult, or old person in each. The average ratings were internally consistent and converged with independent stereotypes of the typical culture member, but were weakly related to objective assessments of personality. We argue that this conclusion is consistent with the broader literature on the inaccuracy of national character stereotypes

Stereotypes of age differences in personality traits : universal and accurate?

Age trajectories for personality traits are known to be similar across cultures. To address whether stereotypes of age groups reflect these age-related changes in personality, we asked participants in 26 countries (N = 3,323) to rate typical adolescents, adults, and old persons in their own country. Raters across nations tended to share similar beliefs about different age groups; adolescents were seen as impulsive, rebellious, undisciplined, preferring excitement and novelty, whereas old people were consistently considered lower on impulsivity, activity, antagonism, and Openness. These consensual age group stereotypes correlated strongly with published age differences on the five major dimensions of personality and most of 30 specific traits, using as criteria of accuracy both self-reports and observer ratings, different survey methodologies, and data from up to 50 nations. However, personal stereotypes were considerably less accurate, and consensual stereotypes tended to exaggerate differences across age groups.

Gender stereotypes of personality : universal and accurate?

Numerous studies have documented subtle but consistent sex differences in self-reports and observer-ratings of five-factor personality traits, and such effects were found to show well-defined developmental trajectories and remarkable similarity across nations. In contrast, very little is known about perceived gender differences in five-factor traits in spite of their potential implications for gender biases at the interpersonal and societal level. In particular, it is not clear how perceived gender differences in five-factor personality vary across age groups and national contexts and to what extent they accurately reflect assessed sex differences in personality. To address these questions, we analyzed responses from 3,323 individuals across 26 nations (mean age = 22.3 years, 31% male) who were asked to rate the five-factor personality traits of typical men or women in three age groups (adolescent, adult, and older adult) in their respective nations. Raters perceived women as slightly higher in openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness as well as some aspects of extraversion and neuroticism. Perceived gender differences were fairly consistent across nations and target age groups and mapped closely onto assessed sex differences in self- and observer-rated personality. Associations between the average size of perceived gender differences and national variations in sociodemographic characteristics, value systems, or gender equality did not reach statistical significance. Findings contribute to our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of gender stereotypes of personality and suggest that perceptions of actual sex differences may play a more important role than culturally based gender roles and socialization processes.

Fundamentos de alimentación animal: Texto básico

Este libro, ha sido concebido para satisfacer las necesidades de tres grupos de lectores: primero, el estudiante universitario del área agropecuaria que necesita de una fuente de información manejable de los aspectos científicos de la alimentación animal; segundo , los técnicos del Ministerio de Agricultura que precisan de una fuente de información necesaria para la elaboración de mezclas y raciones ; y tercero, el productor agropecuario que bien puede desear comprender porque se le recomienda un tipo determinado de alimento o ración para sus animales. Este es un auditorio heterogéneo y no es de esperar que cada uno de los tres grupos quede completamente satisfecho del resultado. El alcance de este libro está determinado por un programa, que es el de la asignatura de NUTRICION ANIMAL 1 para estudiantes de IV año de Ingeniería Agronómica con orientación en Zootecnia, así como también, por consideraciones de tamaño. No se pretende profundizar en lo teórico sino más bien ayudar a la comprensión de tan complicado tema como lo es el de la nutrición animal, expresándolo en forma clara y sencilla, al finalizar el lector se dará cuenta de ello y podrá poner en práctica el conocimiento adquirido. La información referente al contenido nutritivo de los alimentos está basado en los análisis efectuados en el Laboratorio de Bromatología de la U.N.A. que suman más de mí, queriéndose con ello llenar el vacío del contenido nutritivo de gramíneas y leguminosas más difundidas en Nica­ ragua, lo cual tiene un alcance práctico muy profundo. En cuanto a los subproductos nacionales, los datos son propios, ellos ayudarán a comprender la necesidad de su uso, sobre todo durante la época de mayor escasez de alimentos, ofreciéndole una alternativa alimenticia al ganado. Los minerales son abarcados en este libro considerando básicamente los trabajos realizados en el trópico por McDowell, L.R., Conrad, J.H., Ellis,G.L. y Loosli, J.K. Es grande mi deuda con diversos amigos y docentes por su información, crítica y consejo. Espero aportar un grano de arena que ayude a resolver el problema de déficit de bibliografía referente a la alimentación animal en Nicaragua.

Ensayo : contexto político-legislativo de la crianza en Colombia: una reflexión psicológica

Este ensayo propone que la crianza debe ser objeto de renovada investigación. Esto con el fin de que una forma de crianza llamada humanizada, que es aquella en la que se educa con base en el reconocimiento de los derechos de los niños y adolescentes, se promocione y se posicione en las políticas sociales. Para ello se exponen someramente las condiciones político-legislativas colombianas e internacionales.

On the Informational Role of Term Structure in the U.S. Monetary Policy Rule

This paper uses a structural approach based on the indirect inference principle to estimate a standard version of the new Keynesian monetary (NKM) model augmented with term structure using both revised and real-time data. The estimation results show that the term spread and policy inertia are both important determinants of the U.S. estimated monetary policy rule whereas the persistence of shocks plays a small but significant role when revised and real-time data of output and inflation are both considered. More importantly, the relative importance of term spread and persistent shocks in the policy rule and the shock transmission mechanism drastically change when it is taken into account that real-time data are not well behaved.

Another Look to the Price-Dividend Ratio: A Markov-Switching Approach

This paper analyzes the stationarity of this ratio in the context of a Markov-switching model à la Hamilton (1989) where an asymmetric speed of adjustment is introduced. This particular specification robustly supports a nonlinear reversion process and identifies two relevant episodes: the post-war period from the mid-50’s to the mid-70’s and the so called “90’s boom” period. A three-regime Markov-switching model displays the best regime identification and reveals that only the first part of the 90’s boom (1985-1995) and the post-war period are near-nonstationary states. Interestingly, the last part of the 90’s boom (1996-2000), characterized by a growing price-dividend ratio, is entirely attributed to a regime featuring a highly reverting process.
