Democracia 2.0: twitter y la construcción de opinión pública. caso Álvaro Uribe Vélez. periodo 2012-2013

Esta investigación busca analizar la incidencia de la opinión pública en la agenda, a partir de herramientas de comunicación facilitadas por Internet. El uso de redes sociales ha incrementado exponencialmente a nivel global y esto ha roto el monopolio informativo que anteriormente tenían los grandes medios masivos de comunicación. Twitter, se ha convertido en el medio predilecto de líderes de opinión, medios informativos tradicionales y personas del común, para expresar opiniones y sondear las de los demás. Esta masa crítica que se desarrolla a través de la red ha logrado tener un impacto político muy alto, que ha desatado grandes debates a nivel nacional. El uso riguroso de esta red social y su incidencia en la agenda pública por parte de Álvaro Uribe, señalan una estrecha relación entre opinión y su vigencia política. La tecnología ha hecho que algunas teorías tradicionales sobre el poder deban re evaluarse.

“La construcción de la opinión pública digital en Colombia: Twitter y Juan Manuel Santos: un estudio de caso”

El presente trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo explicar el papel de las redes sociales en el proceso de conformación de la opinión pública en Colombia en el gobierno de Juan Manuel Santos. Lo que se quiere comprobar es que las redes sociales han ejercido un papel de herramienta configuradora de agendas en el gobierno de Juan Manuel Santos. Las antiguas formas de comunicación como las tertulias en los cafés y las discusiones cara a cara se han reemplazado por las conversaciones “online”, modificando así los procesos comunicativos entre los individuos y la forma de producir opinión pública. Para llevar a cabo esta investigación es pertinente desarrollar los conceptos de opinión pública, esfera pública y redes sociales; además de hacer uso de un método de recolección y análisis de información cualitativo con herramientas cuantitativas como las encuestas, estadísticas y gráficas.

Para los soachunos la necesidad tiene cara de perro

En este reportaje se responde la pregunta de investigación ¿de qué manera repercuten los problemas de movilidad de Soacha en los habitantes del municipio tanto al salir de éste hacia Bogotá, como al regresar? haciendo énfasis en las vivencias diarias de los habitantes, sin dejar de lado la perspectiva institucional, reflejada en las intervenciones de políticos, fuerzas militares e informes estatales. A lo largo del texto se explica con detalle cuáles son los problemas de movilidad y además se desarrolla cada una de las consecuencias que estos acarrean, dentro de ellas: el uso del tiempo, los recursos económicos, la falta de oportunidades dentro de Soacha y por último el futuro.

Phase equilibria study of systems composed of refined babassu oil, lauric acid, ethanol, and water at 303.2 K

Deacidification of vegetable oils can be performed using liquid-liquid extraction as an alternative method to the classical chemical and physical refining processes. This paper reports experimental data for systems containing refined babassu oil, lauric acid, ethanol, and water at 303.2 K with different water mass fractions in the alcoholic solvent (0, 0.0557, 0.1045, 0.2029, and 0.2972). The dilution of solvent with water reduced the distribution coefficient values, which indicates a reduction in the loss of neutral oil. The experimental data were used to adjust the NRTL equation parameters. The global deviation between the observed and the estimated compositions was 0.0085, indicating that the model can accurately predict the behavior of the compounds at different levels of solvent hydration.

Geochemistry of FeMn oxyhydroxides of IODP Site 303-U1302 and 303-1303

Regional weathering intensity must have changed dramatically at high latitudes during the Quaternary as a consequence of repeated continental glaciation. Investigation of these glacial/interglacial changes at high temporal resolution is possible with the recent development of Pb isotopes in FeMn oxyhydroxide phases as a proxy for region-specific weathering intensity, where increases in the radiogenic component are thought to correspond to increased continental weathering fluxes. Here we present a Pb isotope record sourced from the FeMn oxyhydroxide fraction in marine sediments from IODP Sites U1302/3 on Orphan Knoll (~3500 mbsl, NW Atlantic), spanning the last 37 ka. Located at the eastern edge of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (LIS), Site U1302/3 is well-placed to monitor changes in weathering intensity associated with LIS glacial history. Overall, the data show a close correspondence to local surface water d18O, with least radiogenic values during times of heavy d18O (glacial maximum) and most radiogenic values during times of light d18O (Holocene). This supports the prediction that weathering intensity in glaciated regions of the North Atlantic correlates with the exposure age of glacial debris. Superimposed on these background trends are extreme radiogenic excursions (e.g. variation in 206Pb/204Pb from ~19.2-21.0) contemporaneous with Heinrich events and the Younger Dryas. These data are substantially more radiogenic than existing records from the NW Atlantic, and most likely represent episodes of exceptionally high inputs of pre-formed FeMn oxyhydroxides during drainage of the LIS. Due to its extreme isotope composition, at least in the NW Atlantic region, Pb would appear to be a good proxy for the fluxes of weathered continental material and perhaps, by inference, nutrients to the surface ocean

Theater 38.3 : Censorship and Performance

Censorship and Performance, edited by Tom Sellar, examines the politics of censorship, and continuing contests over the ‘right’ to claim theatrical and cultural stages for controversial forms of social and self representation, at the start of the twenty-first century. In bringing this collection together, Sellar has taken a broad-based approach to the concept of censorship in theatrical performance—and, indeed, to the concept of theatrical performance itself. Sellar and his contributors clearly accept that surveillance, suppression and restriction of specific forms of representation is a complex, culturally specific phenomenon. In this sense, Censorship and Performance addresses direct political control over content, as well as thornier arguments about media controversy, moral panic, and the politics of self-censorship amongst artists and arts organisations.

Influence of UGT1A9 intronic I399C4T polymorphism on SN-38 glucuronidation in Asian cancer patients

Genetic polymorphisms in hepatically expressed UGT1A1 and UGT1A9 contribute to the interindividual variability i-n irinotecan disposition and toxicity. We screened UGT1A1 (UGT1A1*60, g.−3140G>A, UGT1A1*28 and UGT1A1*6) and UGT1A9 (g.−118(T)9>10 and I399C>T) genes for polymorphic variants in the promoter and coding regions, and the genotypic effect of UGT1A9 I399C>T polymorphism on irinotecan disposition in Asian cancer patients was investigated. Blood samples were collected from 45 patients after administration of irinotecan as a 90 min intravenous infusion of 375 mg/m2 once in every 3 weeks. Genotypic–phenotypic correlates showed that cancer patients heterozygous or homozygous for the I399C>T allele had approximately 2-fold lower systemic exposure to SN-38 (P<0.05) and a trend towards a higher relative extent of glucuronidation (REG) of SN-38 (P>0.05). UGT1A1–1A9 diplotype analysis showed that patients harbouring the H1/H2 (TG6GT10T/GG6GT9C) diplotype had 2.4-fold lower systemic exposure to SN-38 glucuronide (SN-38G) compared with patients harbouring the H1/H5 (TG6GT10T/GG6GT10C) diplotype (P=0.025). In conclusion, this in vivo study supports the in vitro findings of Girard et al. and suggests that the UGT1A9 I399C>T variant may be an important glucuronidating allele affecting the pharmacokinetics of SN-38 and SN-38G in Asian cancer patients receiving irinotecan chemotherapy.

Gate 38

Airports are a place of transition, empty halls of fleeting comings, goings and waitings. 'Gate 38' follows the experience of four groups of young people trapped at this point of departure. As contact with the outside world is cut off, the focus is placed squarely on what they’re doing, and where they’re going. A non-traditional musical set at the end of the world. Commissioned by MacGregor State High School's Centre of Artistic Development, script development included workshops with the CAD class of 2007. No musical score required.
