Planktonic foraminiferas in bottom sediments and paleotemperatures in the areas of the Benguela and Canary upwellings

Distribution of planktonic foraminiferal tests was studied in four drill cores of Upper Quaternary sediments from the zone of influence of the Canary upwelling and in nine sediment cores from the zone of the Benguela upwelling. Paleotemperatures were reconstructed from these data. It was established that under conditions during stadials, interstadials, and interglacials of Quaternary time, the upwelling existed continuously, intensifying and expanding during colder epochs and weakening and contracting in the warmer intervals. During the last stadial (about 18000 yrs ago), relative cooling of sea waters as compared to central regions of the ocean in the zone of the Canary upwelling was not lower than 9°C (4.5°C higher than at present time), and in the zone of the Benguela upwelling it was not lower than 15°C (8.5°C higher than at present time).

Radiocarbon ages and last occurrences of Globorotalia menardii flexuosa and Globoquadrina hexagona in Atlantic sediment cores

Ranges of Globorotalia menardii menardii, Gr. menardii flexuosa and Globoquadrina hexagona at time of climatostratigraphic intervals representing oxygen-isotope stages 5-1 are determined by study of dozens of Late Quaternary sediment cores involving constructing paleotemperature curves from planktic foraminifera and oxygen isotope curves for their shells, as well as radiocarbon dating. Gr. menardii flexuosa and Gq. hexagona disappeared about 27-25 ky ago from the subtropical and tropical Atlantic and about 18 ky ago from the equatorial area.

Sequential release of BMP-7 and VEGF from the PLGA/AK-Gelatin Composite Scaffolds

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP-7) are key regulators of angiogenesis and osteogenesis during bone regeneration. The aim of this study was to investigate the possibility of realizing sequential release of the two growth factors using a novel composite scaffold. Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)-Akermanite (AK) microspheres were used to make the composite scaffold, which was then loaded with BMP-7, followed by embedding in a gelatin hydrogel matrix loaded with VEGF. The release profiles of the growth factors were studied and selected osteogenic related markers of bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were analysed. It was shown that the composite scaffolds exhibited a fast initial burst release of VEGF within the first 3 days and a sustained slow release of BMP-7 over the full period of 20 days. The in vitro proliferation and differentiation of the BMSCs cultured in the osteogenic medium were enhanced by 1 to 2 times, resulting from the additionally and sequentially release of growth factors from the PLGA-AK/gelatin composite scaffolds.

IKT-ak lehen hezkuntzan: mugikorraren eragina ikasleen errendimendu akademikoan

[eus] IKTekiko (Informazio eta Komunikazio Teknologiak) menpekotasuna, oso gai eztabaidatua da gaur egun, batik bat, guraso eta hezitzaileak kezkatzen dituena. Mugikorra aipaturiko teknologia horien barne dagoenez, horretaz egiten den erabilera ezagutzeaz gain, ikerketa honen helburu nagusia mugikorraren erabileraren eta errendimendu akademikoaren arteko korrelazio posible bat aurkitzea da. Horretarako, Euskal Autonomia Erkidegoari dagozkion Lehen Hezkuntzako 5. eta 6. mailetako 39 ikasleko lagina erabili da. Emaitzek, aipaturiko korrelazioa erakusten dute. Beraz, prebentzioaren garrantzia azpimarratzeko asmoz, menpekotasun jokaeraren garapena ekiditeko zenbait gako ematen dira.

A experiência ficcional de Gérard Aké Loba: utopia e construção da identidade pós-colonial

A experiência ficcional de Gérard Aké Loba — Kocoumbo, l’étudiant noir(1960), Les fils de Kouretcha (1970), Les dépossédés (1973) e Le sas des parvenus(1990), ancorada na dinâmica de culturas, no respeito e na honorabilidade do Eu e do Outro, centra-se na problemática da utopia e da construção da identidade pós-colonial. Considerando que a Literatura, enquanto sistema semiótico de produção e recepção de textos, se encontra vinculada a uma visão do mundo, iremos ver como nela se manifestam as relações entre o Ocidente (Europeu) e as regiões da África francófona (Costa do Marfim) no percurso das metamorfoses que conduzem ao Pós-Colonialismo. Procuraremos, de igual modo, problematizar a utopia, e também a distopia, comungando da proposta de Éric Aunoble2, para quem estas questões deverão ser compreendidas na sua relação com o tempo e com a historicidade presente por tentarem responder “aux attentes de leurs temps”.
