GEOGRAFIA DA COMUNICAÇÃO NO CENTRO DO BRASIL

Geografia da Comunicação no Centro-Oeste brasileiro é o foco desta pesquisa. Estruturada em duas partes: a primeira, sob uma perspectiva diacrônica, mostra o processo de formação geopolítica e demográfica do centro do Brasil; a segunda contém uma visão sincrônica dos sistemas midiáticos e seus modos de produção, resgatando a memória do campo comunicacional na macro-região. O estudo evidenciou a conflituosa formação do Centro-Oeste, com sucessivas divisões territoriais, refletidas na mídia e nas Ciências da Comunicação. Em continuidade, aplicando parâmetros análogos, fez-se um estudo comparado entre o Centro-Oeste e a Comunidade Autônoma de Castilla y León, na Espanha. Os indicadores da pesquisa demonstram que a mídia e a academia, no Centro-Oeste brasileiro, não contribuem para a formação de uma identidade regional; ao contrário, propagam e fortalecem os conflitos históricos, deixando as Ciências da Comunicação à margem do regionalismo observado no caso espanhol.

Discourse on equality in organizations. A case study of the chemical industry in Tarragona

This paper presents a proposal for analyzing discourses on gender equality in organizations. The research is carried out as a case study, focusing on the chemical industry in Tarragona. To the question: why there are still so many differences between women and men in labour market, despite having multiple tools to avoid inequalities? we propose to focus on discourses of equality to find an answer. The viewpoint that companies have on gender is crucial in enabling policies for equality. To ensure that policies are truly aimed at promoting equality, it is needed a gender approach that nowadays is not widespread in organizations. From these considerations, we present a fourfold typology of discourses on equality in organizations.

El periodismo de proximidad local: los periódicos burgaleses del siglo XIX en la defensa del Patrimonio Histórico Artístico

Los periodistas de Burgos del siglo XIX desempeñaron un importante protagonismo en la defensa del patrimonio histórico artístico. En un momento en el que la protección de los monumentos no estaba garantizada ni regulada, estos profesionales demostraron con su pluma tener una mentalidad adelantada a la de su tiempo y defendieron la necesidad de mantener, proteger y rehabilitar los grandes y pequeños monumentos. Su intervención y sus denuncias constituyen una demostración de la importancia del periodismo, y en especial del periodismo local.

Net-surplus as a useful tool to analyse financial information in co-op societies

This paper aims to analyse a sample of Galician co-ops to verify whether or not it is possible to deduce different financial behaviours among co-op partners from the amount of net-surplus. To this end, our study adds net-surplus to the variation registered in some account entries so that other residual incomes yielded by the co-op may be considered. The distribution of these revenues shows that partners do not usually choose to fully anticipate residual incomes. This reveals that some firms follow a positive net-surplus strategy, which is actually different from the null net-surplus strategy asserted by the classical financial theory. Furthermore, results show that differences between both strategies are statistically significant. This opens a path to future research on determinants explaining why co-op partners voluntarily renounce to anticipating these residual incomes. Such behaviour only arises when yearly accounts render a positive result, thereby making the accounting net-surplus a useful tool to analyse financial information in co-op societies.

Source Provenance of Pre-Historic Granitic Grindstones: The Case Study of the Cogotas I Archaeological Site of Arroyo Mucientes/San Lázaro (Castronuño, Valladolid) and a Proposal on the General Methodological Flow Process

The occurrence of hand grindstones at the Cogotas I archaeological sites is considered to be a common feature. Given that a distant-provenance raw material is frequently involved, determination of its source is a basic factor in the search for a better understanding of resource management and for any Political Economy approach. To progress in these directions an overall study should be planned, using selected grindstones with a view to covering diverse sub-zones of the Cogotas I dispersal area, especially because of its considerable distance from the granite basement source. Such a study may today includes diverse analytical procedures combining successive geographic, petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical criteria. To check the plausibility of the proposed methodology, a preliminary test has been carried out on two granite grindstones, obtained at the archaeological excavation at the Castronuño (Valladolid) Cogotian site, which is fifty km away from an inferred source area that was presumably located at Peñausende (Zamora). The result obtained validates the proposed operational process, yielding a generalizable knowledge to other similar situations.

Análisis de la accesibilidad física en el transporte público en autobús en la ciudad de Valladolid

La accesibilidad al transporte público es uno de los factores que limitan la integración de las personas con algún tipo de discapacidad en la sociedad. En este trabajo hemos analizado durante seis meses la situación de la cadena de accesibilidad del autobús urbano, contrastando la ficha de toma de datos con expertos de la Universidad de Valladolid, personal técnico y usuarios de Cocemfe Castilla y León y realizando el análisis de las casi 600 paradas de la ciudad de Valladolid, diferenciando entre aspectos críticos y no críticos (aunque recogidos en la legislación) para personas con discapacidad física.

Soy tu próximo paciente, una persona con autismo. Cuéntamelo en imágenes: cuaderno de ayudas visuales en Urgencias

El proyecto en el que se enmarca este “Cuaderno de ayudas visuales” consiste en la materialización práctica de un programa especial dirigido a personas con Trastornos del Espectro Autista en los Servicios de Urgencias Hospitalarias de Castilla y León, basado en un trabajo de adaptación, de reestructuración del entorno, de prevención de las posibles dificultades y de formación de los profesionales sanitarios en la atención. Las personas con autismo en el ámbito sanitario tienen dificultades para comprender lo que les pasa e identificar síntomas. Por otra parte, en los servicios de Urgencias Hospitalarias los profesionales sanitarios no están formados para atender a estos pacientes. Se trata de un auténtico reto sociosanitario que precisa de la colaboración de asociaciones, familias y requiere la implicación de los profesionales del sistema sanitario que han de estar formados para desarrollar buenas prácticas de atención a TEA. Este documento va dirigido al personal médico y de enfermería de los Servicios de Urgencias para facilitar la comunicación con personas con TEA.

Classification and clinical behavior of blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasms according to their maturation-associated immunophenotypic profile

Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) is a rare subtype of leukemia/lymphoma, whose diagnosis can be difficult to achieve due to its clinical and biological heterogeneity, as well as its overlapping features with other hematologic malignancies. In this study we investigated whether the association between the maturational stage of tumor cells and the clinico-biological and prognostic features of the disease, based on the analysis of 46 BPDCN cases classified into three maturation-associated subgroups on immunophenotypic grounds. Our results show that blasts from cases with an immature plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) phenotype exhibit an uncommon CD56- phenotype, coexisting with CD34+ non-pDC tumor cells, typically in the absence of extramedullary (e.g. skin) disease at presentation. Conversely, patients with a more mature blast cell phenotype more frequently displayed skin/extramedullary involvement and spread into secondary lymphoid tissues. Despite the dismal outcome, acute lymphoblastic leukemia-type therapy (with central nervous system prophylaxis) and/or allogeneic stem cell transplantation appeared to be the only effective therapies. Overall, our findings indicate that the maturational profile of pDC blasts in BPDCN is highly heterogeneous and translates into a wide clinical spectrum -from acute leukemia to mature lymphoma-like behavior-, which may also lead to variable diagnosis and treatment.

Análisis histórico constructivo de la iglesia de Santo Domingo de Guzmán (Pajarejos, Segovia) por medio del análisis estratigráfico constructivo

El artículo ilustra el potencial del análisis estratigráfico, un método arqueológico para leer la información contenida en los paramentos, para la obtención datos y la documentación del patrimonio arquitectónico. Las vicisitudes del método configuran un modelo especializado de carácter constructivo dentro del proceso de documentación patrimonial, más allá del conocimiento histórico y el análisis tipológico. Tomando como fuente primaria el propio edificio, se aplica un procedimiento lógico y contextualizado de los elementos legibles y tangibles, deduciendo de manera técnica el conjunto de campañas constructivas que lo han conformado hasta su estado actual. Su inclusión previa a cualquier actuación en un bien patrimonial, contribuye a mejorar el entendimiento y la toma de postura ante cualquier intervención en el bien arquitectónico. El estudio estratigráfico detallado de la iglesia románica de Santo Domingo de Guzmán (Castilla y León, España) ha demostrado claramente las virtudes del método, ante la carencia de estudios previos y la limitada disponibilidad de referencias históricas. El estudio, inédito a nivel arquitectónico, delimitó trece fases constructivas, específicas y complementarias comprendidas entre el siglo XII y la actualidad.

Changes in the storage and sink of carbon dioxide in subsurface atmospheres controlled by climate-driven processes: the case of the Ojo Guareña karst system

A comprehensive environmental monitoring program was conducted in the Ojo Guareña cave system (Spain), one of the longest cave systems in Europe, to assess the magnitude of the spatiotemporal changes in carbon dioxide gas (CO2) in the cave–soil–atmosphere profile. The key climate-driven processes involved in gas exchange, primarily gas diffusion and cave ventilation due to advective forces, were characterized. The spatial distributions of both processes were described through measurements of CO2 and its carbon isotopic signal (δ13C[CO2]) from exterior, soil and cave air samples analyzed by cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS). The trigger mechanisms of air advection (temperature or air density differences or barometric imbalances) were controlled by continuous logging systems. Radon monitoring was also used to characterize the changing airflow that results in a predictable seasonal or daily pattern of CO2 concentrations and its carbon isotopic signal. Large daily oscillations of CO2 levels, ranging from 680 to 1900 ppm day−1 on average, were registered during the daily oscillations of the exterior air temperature around the cave air temperature. These daily variations in CO2 concentration were unobservable once the outside air temperature was continuously below the cave temperature and a prevailing advective-renewal of cave air was established, such that the daily-averaged concentrations of CO2 reached minimum values close to atmospheric background. The daily pulses of CO2 and other tracer gases such as radon (222Rn) were smoothed in the inner cave locations, where fluctuation of both gases was primarily correlated with medium-term changes in air pressure. A pooled analysis of these data provided evidence that atmospheric air that is inhaled into dynamically ventilated caves can then return to the lower troposphere as CO2-rich cave air.

Risk factors associated with negative in-vivo diagnostic results in bovine tuberculosis-infected cattle in Spain

BACKGROUND Despite great effort and investment incurred over decades to control bovine tuberculosis (bTB), it is still one of the most important zoonotic diseases in many areas of the world. Test-and-slaughter strategies, the basis of most bTB eradication programs carried out worldwide, have demonstrated its usefulness in the control of the disease. However, in certain countries, eradication has not been achieved due in part to limitations of currently available diagnostic tests. In this study, results of in-vivo and post-mortem diagnostic tests performed on 3,614 animals from 152 bTB-infected cattle herds (beef, dairy, and bullfighting) detected in 2007-2010 in the region of Castilla y León, Spain, were analyzed to identify factors associated with positive bacteriological results in cattle that were non-reactors to the single intradermal tuberculin test, to the interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) assay, or to both tests applied in parallel (Test negative/Culture + animals, T-/C+). The association of individual factors (age, productive type, and number of herd-tests performed since the disclosure of the outbreak) with the bacteriology outcome (positive/negative) was analyzed using a mixed multivariate logistic regression model. RESULTS The proportion of non-reactors with a positive post-mortem result ranged from 24.3% in the case of the SIT test to 12.9% (IFN-γ with 0.05 threshold) and 11.9% (95% CI 9.9-11.4%) using both tests in parallel. Older (>4.5 years) and bullfighting cattle were associated with increased odds of confirmed bTB infection by bacteriology, whereas dairy cattle showed a significantly lower risk. Ancillary use of IFN-γ assay reduced the proportion of T-/C + animals in high risk groups. CONCLUSIONS These results demonstrate the likelihood of positive bacteriological results in non-reactor cattle is influenced by individual epidemiological factors of tested animals. Increased surveillance on non-reactors with an increased probability of being false negative could be helpful to avoid bTB persistence, particularly in chronically infected herds. These findings may aid in the development of effective strategies for eradication of bTB in Spain.

Caracterización de la función cognitiva de niños con síndrome de down de 5 a 12 años en la ciudad de Bogotá

Los niños que padecen trisomía 21 poseen una serie de características físicas, neurológicas y neuropsicológicas específicas, las cuales han sido investigadas a profundidad en diferentes países, de lo cual se han desarrollado protocolos de evaluación para estos niños acorde a su nacionalidad (García, 2010). A pesar de que Colombia es uno de los países en los cuales el síndrome de Down se presenta con mayor frecuencia, hasta la fecha, no se encuentran estudios que enfaticen en las habilidades neuropsicológicas de esta población específica, por lo cual no se han desarrollado protocolos de evaluación adecuados para los niños con síndrome este síndrome. Esta investigación se llevó acabo con una población de 88 niños a los cuales se les aplicó el inventario de desarrollo BATTELLE, y se identificó que los niños con síndrome Down de 5 a 12 años obtienen un puntaje que se encuentra en 4 desviaciones estándar por debajo de la media típica. Lo anterior demuestra una característica específica de esta población en cuanto a patrones de desarrollo en las cuales, se evidencia dificultad más importante en las área cognición y de la comunicación expresiva. Con respecto a los intervalos de edad se identificó que a lo largo de estos el desempeño en las áreas evaluadas decrece. esto puede estar relacionado con la mayor complejidad de los hitos del desarrollo para una edad esperada. Debido a que los hitos del desarrollo esperados varían a lo largo de los periodos del ciclo vital del ser humano, estos tienden a aumentar su complejidad en etapas del desarrollo más avanzados; como estos niños poseen una serie de dificultades en las funciones ejecutivas y cognición, no lograrán alcanzar dichos hitos del desarrollo.
