Western subtropical North Atlantic oceanic and atmospheric circulations connect tropical and subpolar climates. Variations in these circulations can generate regional climate anomalies that are not reflected in Northern Hemisphere averages. Assessing the significance of anthropogenic climate change at regional scales requires proxy records that allow recent trends to be interpreted in the context of long-term regional variability. We present reconstructions of Gulf Stream sea surface temperature (SST) and hydrographic variability during the past two millennia based on the magnesium/calcium ratio and oxygen isotopic composition of planktic foraminifera preserved in two western subtropical North Atlantic sediment cores. Reconstructed SST suggests low-frequency variability of ~1°C during an interval that includes the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) and the Little Ice Age (LIA). A warm interval near 1250 A.D. is distinct from regional and hemispheric temperature, possibly reflecting regional variations in ocean-atmosphere heat flux associated with changes in atmospheric circulation (e.g., the North Atlantic Oscillation) or the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation. Seawater d18O, which is marked by a fresher MCA and a more saline LIA, covaries with meridional migrations of the Atlantic Intertropical Convergence Zone. The northward advection of tropical salinity anomalies by mean surface currents provides a plausible mechanism linking Carolina Slope and tropical Atlantic hydrology.

OBJETIVO: Determinar la prevalencia de anemia en niños y niñas de 12 a 59 meses de edad con sus factores asociados, y capacitación a padres de familia en el Centro de Desarrollo Infantil de la Universidad de Cuenca (CEDIUC), METODOLOGÍA: Esta investigación se basó en un estudio descriptivo – transversal de prevalencia, se efectuó mediante la obtención de pruebas de hemoglobina a 90 niños/as de 12 a 59 meses de edad y cuestionarios a los padres sobre factores de riesgo; a los mismos se les aplicó encuestas validadas para visualizar el grado de conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas sobre la alimentación y nutrición respecto a la deficiencia de hierro. Se manejó frecuencias y porcentajes, y para las variables numéricas media, mediana y moda en programas estadísticos. RESULTADOS: La prevalencia de anemia fue en total del 43,3%, el 30% de los niños/as presentó anemia leve y un 13,3% padeció de anemia moderada. La afección tuvo un asocio importante con respecto a la edad, género, lugar de residencia, condición socioeconómica, factores perinatales y estado nutricional actual. Sobre los conocimientos y prácticas en relación a la alimentación, se pudo señalar que gracias a las capacitaciones se mejoró del 31,4% a un 89,9% al finalizar el estudio. CONCLUSIÓN: Se logró evidenciar ciertas relaciones importantes entre anemia e indicadores de riesgo a pesar del número reducido de participantes. Brindar charlas y talleres de manera periódica a los padres y personal del CEDIUC para mejorar sus conocimientos y prevenir complicaciones a futuro se considera oportuno, necesario y preventivo.

This paper explores a new interpretation of experiments on foil rolling. The assumption that the roll remains convex is relaxed so that the strip profile may become concave, or thicken in the roll gap. However, we conjecture that the concave profile is associated with phenomena which occur after the rolls have stopped. We argue that the yield criterion must be satisfied in a nonconventional manner if such a phenomenon is caused plastically. Finite element analysis on an extrusion problem appears to confirm this conjecture.
