Neoliberalism as an ideology

In order to examine whether the usual identification of neoliberal ideas with an ideological discourse is valid, this paper starts off with an analysis of what Marx terms commodity fetishism in Capital, based on which a certain sense of the concept of ideology may be inferred which would result in its being both true and false. In order to determine whether this definition of ideology may be applied to neoliberal theory, we look at its fundamental features and how they continue with or break away from economic liberalism as studied in Michel Foucault’s Birth of biopolitics. Attention is later moved to the characteristics detected by David Harvey in the socalled flexible accumulation as the latest stage of capitalism which coincides with the political implementation of neoliberal doctrine. At the end of the road travelled, it is hypothesised that this theory would be a form of ideology containing a dimension of both truth and falsehood, in line with Marx’s thought.

Discovery and settlement of Alaska coaster

Tsar Peter the Great ruled Russia between 1689 and 1725. Its domains, stretching from the Baltic Sea in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east. From north to south, its empire stretching from the Arctic Ocean to the borders with China and India. Tsar Peter I tried to extend the geographical knowledge of his government and the rest of the world. He was also interested in the expansion of trade in Russia and in the control of trade routes. Feodor Luzhin and Ivan Yeverinov explored the eastern border of the Russian Empire, the trip between 1719 and 1721 and reported to the Tsar. They had crossed the peninsula of Kamchatka, from west to east and had traveled from the west coast of Kamchatka to the Kuril Islands. The information collected led to the first map of Kamchatka and the Kuril Islands. Tsar Peter ordered Bering surf the Russian Pacific coast, build ships and sail the seas north along the coast to regions of America. The second expedition found equal to those of the previous explorers difficulties. Two ships were eventually thrown away in Okhotsk in 1740. The explorers spent the winter of 1740-1741 stockpiling supplies and then navigate to Petropavlovsk. The two ships sailed eastward and did together until June 20, then separated by fog. After searching Chirikov and his boat for several days, Bering ordered the San Pedro continue to the northeast. There the Russian sailors first sighted Alaska. According to the log, "At 12:30 (pm July 17) in sight of snow-capped mountains and between them a high volcano." This finding came the day of St. Elijah and so named the mountain.

Recolección de células hematopoyéticas periféricas para trasplante alogénico con una dosis intermedia de filgrastim

Antecedentes: las células hematopoyéticas de sangre periférica son un recurso para combatir diversas enfermedades que requieren un trasplante alogénico para su curación. El método internacionalmente aceptado para obtener estas células es la administración de 2 a 24 μg/kg de peso de un factor estimulante de colonias de granulocitos y realizar la aféresis al cuarto, quinto o sexto días de iniciada la estimulación del donador. Objetivo: determinar la dosis adecuada del factor estimulante de colonias de granulocitos y el día óptimo para realizar una sola aféresis. Pacientes y método: se incluyeron 11 donadores que recibieron factor estimulante de colonias de granulocitos en dosis diarias de 8 μg/kg de peso, durante cuatro días, y se realizaron dos aféresis: una en el cuarto y otra en el quinto día de estimulación. Se analizaron retrospectivamente los procedimientos de recolección de células hematopoyéticas de sangre periférica para trasplante alogénico realizados entre febrero del 2003 y mayo del 2005 en el Hospital Universitario Dr. José Eleuterio González de la UANL. Resultados: en 63% de los pacientes, la cantidad de células CD34+ recolectada fue significativamente mayor en el quinto día que en el cuarto (3.10 × 106 vs 2.9 × 106), ya que el volumen plasmático promedio procesado por aféresis fue menor en la primera ocasión que en la segunda (8,800 vs 14,080 mL). Conclusión: una dosis de 8 μg/kg de peso del factor estimulante de colonias de granulocitos es efectiva para favorecer la obtención de células hematopoyéticas periféricas. Una aféresis al quinto día de iniciada la estimulación es suficiente para obtener la cantidad necesaria de células CD34+ que aseguren la recuperación hematológica del paciente trasplantado. Este procedimiento reduce los efectos colaterales del factor y de la aféresis, así como el costo final del trasplante.

Aplicación dirigida a estudiantes para facilitar las matemáticas enfocadas en las integrales

El objetivo principal de esta aplicación es fomentar el aprendizaje autónomo del estudiante y desarrollar una nueva manera más didáctica de aprender. Todos los estudiantes de Ingeniería han pasado por esta etapa en la que cada semestre debemos llevar una parte de matemáticas , algunos son muy hábiles para este tipo de materias pero algunos otros prefieren clases más activas o ejercicios más didácticos y es aquí donde entra la idea de crear una aplicación de matemáticas (Integrales) la cual podrán tender un acceso rápido simplemente descargándolo desde su Play Store , esta App es nueva e innovadora pues ha pasado las matemáticas de antes con muchos libros y ejercicios que muchas veces no comprenden debido a que buscan la información en el libro pero viene mucho de todo y es mucho más confuso comprenderlo eso ha terminado pues en cada problema a resolver de nuestra aplicación tendrás la información exacta que ocuparas para poder resolver con facilidad, además a todos les gusta interactuar con el celular , porque no hacerlo de una manera educativa la cual nos ayude a desarrollar nuestra habilidad matemática.

Grief elaboration of a patient with a diagnosis of advanced colon adenocarcinoma: a case study

Objective: The term grief, from the French term grever, which means “to burden, to oppress”, can be deined as the process through which a person must go due to the loss of a loved one. We present a case of grief elaboration in a patient and his family that face a terminal illness. Clinical case: The patient is a 51-year-old man diagnosed with stage T4a N2b M1 colon adenocarcinoma. He came to the Department of Psycho-Oncology presenting depressive symptoms, marital and family issues associated with a medical condition, and work related issues. Conclusions: The patient was diagnosed with a secondary major depressive disorder episode in reaction to his medical condition. He was prescribed anti-depressive treatment, and family psychotherapy was recommended for grief elaboration.

Exercise intervention in pediatric patients with solid tumors: The PAPEC trial

The randomized controlled trial ‘Physical Activity in Pediatric Cancer’ (PAPEC) determined the effects of an in-hospital exercise intervention combining aerobic and muscle strength training on pediatric cancer patients with solid tumors undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Methods. Participants were allocated to an exercise (n=24, 17 boys; mean±SEM age 10±1y) or control group (n=25, 18 boys; 11±1y). Training included three sessions/week for 19±2 weeks. Participants were assessed at treatment initiation, termination, and two months after end-treatment. The primary endpoint was muscle strength (as assessed by upper and lower-body five-repetition-maximum (5RM) tests). Secondary endpoints included cardiorespiratory fitness, functional capacity during daily life activities, physical activity, body mass and body mass index, and quality of life. Results. Most sessions were performed in the hospital’s gymnasium. Adherence to the program averaged 68±4% and no major adverse events or health issues were noted. A significant interaction (group*time) effect was found for all 5RM tests. Performance significantly increased after training (leg press: 40% (95% CI=15–41 kg); bench press: 24% (95% CI=6–14 kg); lateral row 25% (95%CI=6–15 kg)), whereas an opposite trend was found in controls. Two-month post values tended to be higher than baseline for leg (P=0.017) and bench press (P=0.014). In contrast, no significant interaction effect was found for any of the secondary endpoints. Conclusion. An in-hospital exercise program for pediatric cancer patients with solid tumors undergoing neoadjuvant treatment increases muscle strength despite the aggressiveness of such therapy. Key words: Cancer, exercise, muscle strength, fitness, quality of life.
