Resumen tomado de la revista

El cambio educativo y las comunidades discursivas : representando el cambio en tiempos de postmodernidad.

Esta comunidad discursiva surge de la convergencia de perspectivas culturales y políticas. Lo político tiene una gran relevancia al matizar lo cultural, porque sitúa lo simbólico en el contexto de la producción social de significado y resalta el conflicto y al preocupación por la transformación. El influjo recíproco ha producido uan reinterpretación y un relanzamiento de la noción de cultura. En esta comunidad la cultura es la base y se la concibe involucrada en todas las formas de producción intelectual son prácticas significativas, ya sea moda, periodismo o educación. Pero la configuración de esta comunidad discursiva está unida al itinerario seguido por las corrientes políticas. Pero, a fines de los ochenta críticas a estas tendencias. Lo que dio origen al pesimismo con respecto a las posibilidades de cambio y ha dejado un estrecho margen de acción. Y gracias a la influencia de nuevos movimientos intelectuales y sociales los planteamientos críticos están siendo reformulados. La teoría feminista, los movimientos ecologistas y sobre todo el postestructuralismo están alentando la redefinición de las corrientes críticas. Finalmente, la respuesta dada no ha sido uniforme y se puede concretar en el declive de la clase social como principal categoría de análisis social y educativo. De todo ello, se deduce como característica principal la diversificación de discursos y diversidad presente en los grupos y movimientos de esta comunidad discursiva para solucionar los problemas existentes.

Educación inclusiva en los Estados Unidos.

Se analiza la legislación educativa en este país, desde los orígenes de la educación especial hasta la actual orientación y apoyo a la educación inclusiva, que consiste en beneficiar a todos los estudiantes, tanto de educación general como especial (ya que los beneficios no deben ser para un grupo a costa del otro) y mejorar el nivel profesional de todos los adultos. No solamente es inaceptable moralmente, sino que es probable que conduzca a un fracaso de la estrategia. De forma creciente, los datos de evaluación de todos los distritos escolares y de los Estados en todo el país, a partir de iniciarse esta experiencia en Nueva York garantizan que bien aplicados, los programas de educación inclusiva benefician a todos los estudiantes discapacitados y no discapacitados, académica, conductal y socialmente. En Nueva York en 1905 se establecio uan escueal sin internado para alumnos con frecuentes índices de absentismo, delincuentes y niños incorregibles. Parte de la lógica de esta escuela era sacar a estos estudiantes de la escuela habitual beneficiaría a los que permanecieran en ella. Este modelo continuó existiendo a medida que los programas se desarrollaron y así a partir de la Ley Especial de Educación Pública de 1975 enfrentó a las escuelas pública de este estado a retos para su continuo desarrollo.

La ciudad de las palabras : imágenes urbanas en novelas españolas contemporáneas.

Analiza las imágenes urbanas en ciertas novelas del final del franquismo estableciendo uan serie de conclusiones que permitan ahondar en la cuestión de la validez de los textos literarios como fuente para la historia.Se estructura en tres apartados: 1) En el primero se intentan clarificar las premisas metodológicas de las que se ha partido para su elaboración. 2) Continua con una estrategia que permita habitar en el mundo que sugieren los textos y a fin de complementar la vía comprensiva-más importante en el trabajo y proponen algunas ideas acerca de la situación política y cultural del periodo de estudio, de las tendencias narrativas que predominaban en dicha época y de la ciudad entonces predominantes en este caso por oposición a un concepto más genérico e ideal de ciudad. 3) Parte de una serie de tópicos urbanos (pueblo y ciudad, ciudad del poder, ciudad de la marginalidad, espacios reales, espacios imaginarios, ciudad promesa, refugio y amenaza o las gentes de la ciudad) se extrae y analiza la información hallada en los textos narrativos de referencia para lograr esa precomprensión en la que sea posible una fusión de horizontes mucho más viable partiendo de la literatura que del tratado.

First human hNT astrocytes patterned to single cell resolution on parylene-C/Silicon dioxide substrates

In our previous work we developed a successful protocol to pattern the human hNT neuron (derived from the human teratocarcinoma cell line (hNT)) on parylene-C/SiO2 substrates. This communication, reports how we have successfully managed to pattern the supportive cell to the neuron, the hNT astrocyte, on such substrates. Here we disseminate the nanofabrication, cell differentiation and cell culturing protocols necessary to successfully pattern the first human hNT astrocytes to single cell resolution on parylene-C/SiO2 substrates. This is performed for varying parylene strip widths providing excellent contrast to the SiO2 substrate and elegant single cell isolation at 10μm strip widths. The breakthrough in patterning human cells on a silicon chip has widespread implications and is valuable as a platform technology as it enables a detailed study of the human brain at the cellular and network level.

Avaliação da Política de Segurança Alimentar no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte viabilizada através dos Restaurantes Populares no aspecto de qualidade higiênico-sanitária

This survey has to general objective to evaluate the Food Safety Policy implemented by Restaurantes Populares do Rio Grande do Norte. The survey is qualitative of type exploratory and descriptive. The universe of survey is all Units of Food and Nutrition (UAN) of the Restaurantes Populares do Rio Grande do Norte. To collects of data were used two instruments: interview and form. The interviews were intended to analyze the four axes of the Food Safety: access, food quality, production and marketing of food and organizational arrangement. The form was used to check the quality of nutrition and sanitary-hygienic food served. We used two types of forms: a spreadsheet with the weekly menu and the portions served to verify that the meals serve the nutritional needs proposed by the program; and the check-list of ANVISA to verify the sanitary-hygienic conditions in each unit. Through the survey data and analyses made observe that the access category have some problems such as lack of registration, lack of advertising of Restaurants and wastage of public resources, making policy that should be of included in a policy of exclusion. In the nutritional aspect there is neglect on the daily nutritional goal, because it is not accomplished nutritional analysis of menu offered, the nutritionists do not know what should be the nutritional value of meals served; in the hygienic-health aspect trough the problems identified is concludes that there is no guarantee of food quality hygienic-sanitary, committing the program as a Food Safety Program. About the production and marketing of food is observed some problems as: the goal of sale of meals is not achieved in full, the purchase of genres does not stimulate the local economy, nor generates jobs and income, and inefficient performance of the MEIOS's supervision. In the analysis of organizational arrangement is concluded that the partnerships are beneficial, despite some negative points, therefore, are these partnerships the problems of non-compliance, as both the MEIOS and Nutriti of important criteria established in the partnership. Therefore, it is understood that the Programa Restaurantes Populares in its original formulation is proposed to be a food safety policy, but has some problems that impossible to meet its goal, making it unprofitable like Food Safety Policy

Hallux rigidus: Arthroplasty or arthrodesis. What technique produces better results?

Hallux rígidus (HR) affects the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) between 35% and 60% of the population over 65 years and there are multiple ways of treatment. Depending on the radiological stage where you find the deformity determines the procedure to be performed; in the early stages cheilectomy techniques and corrective osteotomy is performed while the more advanced ratings, the surgeon chooses destructive techniques considered as arthrodesis and arthroplasty. This final of degree project aims to focus on 1 MTPJ destructive techniques to clarify which of the procedures generates better results by a number of parameters; outcomes of the American Orthopaedic Foot scale and Ankle Society Hallux metatarsophalangeal Interphalangeal-scale (AOFAS), range of motion (ROM) of the 1ºAMTF, radiological classification. As for the implant arthroplasty technique, this article offers information on material and design that generates better relating to patient characteristics such as age, inflammatory joint diseases, viability and durability of the implant results. The conclusion from this review is that the values obtained in the arthrodesis according AOFAS decrease due to loss of mobility, but both techniques have similar values of effectiveness and concludes with the decision that the technique used is determined taking into account various factors and patient characteristics.

Configuración y dislocación de los espacios de trabajo

Esta tesis se presenta como el inicio de una larga reflexión que se pregunta por los espacios de trabajo, sus significados, las relaciones y decisiones que los configuran y a la vez ellos configuran, y la manera como se transforman, transgreden y superan a través de la adopción de las tecnologías. Los resultados que aquí se presentan parten del análisis de once (11) organizaciones ubicadas en Bogotá que acompañé durante el 2014 y 2015 en sus procesos de cambio de oficina.

From the Humpata Plateau to Namibe Desert, SW Angola

After the Congress, a six-day field trip, will be held through three southwestern provinces of Angola (Huíla, Namibe and Cunene), every day starting and ending in the city of Lubango, for overnight stay in Lubango, with the purpose to observe some of the main sites of geological interest in this zone of Angola. The itinerary of this field trip presents the geologic history of Southwestern Angola and its evolution in the scope of the Congo Craton, through a trip that begins in the first excursion days by the oldest geologic formations and phenomena until the recent geologic formations and phenomena on the last excursion days. On the first and second excursion days, September 5th and September 6th, the field trip will go along the Kunene Anorthosite Complex of Angola (KAC), to observe some petrographic features of the KAC that are important to understand the emplacement of this huge igneous massif of the early Kibarean age. These days of the field trip allow the observation of Earthen Construction, because this region of Cunene is privileged to appreciate a kind of Eco-construction, made of raw earth and in wattle and daub, built with ancient techniques, which constitute a real GeoHeritage. On September 7th, in the morning, the destination will be Tundavala, to visit Tundavala Gap, a huge escarpment of more than 1,000 m high cutted in Neo-Archean and Paleo-Proterozoic igneous rocks, the Ruins of Tundavala (quartzite blocks with sedimentary structures) and Tundavala Waterfalls on a quartzitic scarp. After lunch, the field trip continues towards Humpata plateau to observe the panoramic view over Lubango city from the Statue of Cristo Rei, then the outcrops of dolomitic limestones with stromatolites and dolerites and finally the Leba passage, a huge escarpment and one of the most spectacular parts of the Serra da Chela, traversed by a mountain road built in the early 70s of the last century, that can be observed from the belvedere of the Serra da Chela. On September 8th, the destination is the carbonatite complexes of Tchivira and Bonga, belonging to the Mesozoic alkaline massifs of ultrabasic rocks, a rift valley system that occurs during the Early Cretaceous. In this forth excursion day, due to the huge dimensions of these two carbonatite structures it will be visited, only, the Complex of Bonga, namely the outcrops of the northern part of the structure and secondary deposits on the boundary on the southern part of the of the Complex. The last two excursion days, September 9th and September 10th, are to observe the Cretaceous Basin of Namibe. On September 9th, the northern part of Namibe Basin will be visited to observe the volcanic basic rocks of Namibe as well as the interesting paleontological site of Bentiaba. On September 10th, the destination is the southern and more recent part of Namibe Basin, where on the Namib Desert, the exotic plant Welwitschia mirabilis can be observed, as well as Arco, an oasis in the desert. This last excursion day, ends up at the dunes of Tombwa near the mouth of Curoca river and the beautiful bay of Tombwa, where can be observed heavy minerals in their beach sands.

Urban air mobility: modelling the future transport system

The advances in the aviation field, particularly the development of electric flying vehicles, as UAV and eVTOL, paved the way for setting Urban Air Mobility (UAM) services. UAM would provide services for passengers, goods and emergencies and could offer faster trips than ground ones. It is expected that early UAM operations will be performed at Very Low-Level airspace as 0-500 m Above Ground Level. The purpose of this research is to both explore the main features of UAM and test an aerial network model, which could be integrated in a multimodal transport system where ground and aerial mobility services are provided. Analyses on UAM transport system involved two sub-systems: the transport demand sub-system, i.e., the mobility requirements, and the transport supply sub-system, i.e., the service and facilities enabling mobility. At first, the UAM demand levels and features for an Airport Shuttle service have been explored through a suitable survey, by combining Revealed and Stated Preference methodologies, and by calibrating some discrete mode choice models. Then, the focus has been on the transport supply model for UAM services, by focusing on both the ground access points (vertiports) and the aerial network model. A suitable three-dimensional urban aerial network (3D-UAN) model that could support fast aerial connections between O/D pairs has been proposed. Some tests have been implemented to verify the feasibility of the proposed model. Some flying vehicles supporting an Airport Shuttle service have been simulated on the aerial network, which has been specified in terms of both topological features and link transport costs. The preliminary results have showed that the proposed 3D-UAN model could be suitable for supporting UAM services. As for transport engineering, the UAM system framework proposed in this thesis paves the way for further research on air-ground multimodality in urban areas.
