Islas Lobos de Afuera: Evaluación de pulpo Octopus mimus Gould, 1852 y percebes Pollicipes elegans (Lesson, 1831), Lambayeque, 2010

La distribución de tallas de pulpo fluctuó entre 40 y 200 mm de longitud del manto. El peso promedio fue 588,20 g, el 85% de los ejemplares no superó el peso mínimo de extracción (1 kg). En hembras predominaron estadios en desarrollo (63%), madurez total (16%); en machos predominaron estadios en desove (64%) y maduros (28%). La mayor concentración del recurso se registró al norte de la isla El Ladrón y frente a isla Quita Calcal. Las tallas de percebes fluctuaron entre 1 y 40 mm de longitud carina-rostral (Lcr), 55% de ejemplares estuvieron maduros. El percebes estuvo distribuido en el intermareal rocoso entre 6°56’9’’S y 6°57’30,6’’S en un área de 887,50 m2. La biomasa se estimó en 3,06 t ±27,18% y la población en 0,42 millones de individuos ±47,30%; el stock de juveniles (<17 mm) fue 0,17 millones de ejemplares; el stock adulto (≥17 mm) estuvo constituido por 0,24 millones de individuos y 2,90 t de la biomasa.

The referent : a new referential methodology and procedure in live drawing

My research in live drawing and new technologies uses a combination of a human figure in live in composition, overlaid with a digital projection of a second human figure. The aim is to explore, to amplify and thoroughly analyse the search for distinctive identities and graphic languages of representation for live and projected models.

Getting to know about health and safety related to products used in painting, drawing and printmakin

Practicing art is not a high risk activity. This statement, along with the creative, expressive and intangible aims of this activity, as well as the lack of information, promotion of safety awareness and training of thepeople in charge of art studios, may have pushed the implications of practicing art as regards health, safety and environment into the background. Faced with this prospect, a comprehensive study of the facilities and the activities carried out in art studios becomes necessary. The study concerns experimental activities involving Health and Safety risks for both the artists and the teachers and students, especially those carried out in the studios located in educational institutions.

Perceptions of diabetes obtained through drawing in childhood and adolescence

Objective: To examine whether drawing is useful in the detection of problems of psychosocial adaptation in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and in improving communication with health professionals. Methods: We performed an exploratory descriptive study in 199 children and adolescents with T1D aged 413 years. The participants were asked to render a drawing on a suggested topic. The variables analyzed were related to the drawing and to clinical and sociodemographic data. Results: Most participants showed evidence of having a well-balanced personality, but there were also signs of affective or psychosocial difficulties. Conclusion: Drawing is a useful technique by which to identify children"s and adolescents" feelings and possible problems in adapting to T1D, as well as to gain information directly from the children themselves. Future studies should delimit the possibilities of this technique in clinical practice in greater detail.
