The author intends to go beyond the unanimous opinion that the processes of political transition must be explained, almost exclusively, in terms of national forces and calculations. In the case of the Spanish transition he intends to demonstrate how thestrategies of the national actors (crown, government and parties) were moulded largely by the pressure of regulations and structures drawn up outside its frontiers. Firstly, by the United States’ discreet support (always putting forward first her strategic interests) of the political evolution whilst it did not put in danger the Spanish contribution to the western defensive system (while the USSR hardly played any role). The Spanish transition did not offer a threat to the alliance system from the beginning and with which the result was practically guaranteed. The European governments for their part, worried least about security and more about the political dimension pressurizing the regime and supporting the leaders of the democratic opposition more and more. The European institutions, withtheir veto, ended up legitimizing the Spanish process of democratization while the different Internationals came together and helped their coreligionists in Spain. Their political and diplomatic pressure were complemented, with the paradigm in the case of PSOE, with the contribution of means and resources by the political foundations, largely German, whose highly visible participation did not lessen the credibiity of those it protected.

Mediante el Programa de Control de Calidad Parasitológico se analizaron los errores en la identificación de parásitos intestinales en muestras fecales procedentes de 11 laboratorios de la provincia de Camagüey, desde septiembre de 2000 a agosto de 2001. Se le realizó examen microscópico directo y concentrado a 258 muestras y se constató la emisión de diagnósticos incorrectos en 35 ocasiones, el incompleto fue el más frecuente, seguido por el sobrediagnóstico y el cambio diagnóstico en orden de frecuencia; se utilizó como centro de referencia el Laboratorio Provincial de Higiene y Epidemiología de Camagüey. Concluimos que es necesario perfeccionar constantemente la capacitación del personal que realiza este tipo de exámenes.

Se presenta el primer caso de esquistosomosis diagnosticado y tratado en nuestro servicio, se analizan los datos clínicos fundamentales para el diagnóstico, las características radiológicas y citoscópicas, así como la buena respuesta a la terapéutica con prazicuantel. La esquistosomosis urogenital es un tipo de parasitosis producida por el Shistosoma, muy raro en nuestro medio y su prevalencia aumenta debido al auge de los movimientos migratorios. Se debe pensar en ella ante toda hematuria esporádica que afecte a pacientes procedentes de zonas endémicas o con antecedentes de viajes a países exóticos, por lo que es fundamental un detallado interrogatorio clínico. En estos momentos la droga de elección es el prazicuantel.

El síndrome de Swyer es un desorden de la diferenciación sexual en el cual los pacientes exhiben un fenotipo femenino con cariotipo 46 XY e hipoplasia gonadal sin células germinales. Dentro de las posibles causas para esta reversión sexual se encuentra la ausencia del gen SRY ubicado en el cromosoma Y. Éste ejerce el papel rector en la cascada de genes que intervienen en la diferenciación sexual. En este trabajo se utilizó la técnica de reacción en cadena de la polimerasa para amplificar el gen SRY, con el fin de conocer si la ausencia del mismo podía explicar la reversión sexual en nuestros dos pacientes. Se detectó la presencia del gen SRY y concluimos que la causa del síndrome puede estar dada por mutaciones en el gen SRY o en otros que participan en la cascada de diferenciación sexual en humanos.

Se realizó un estudio de actividad de la enzima glucosa 6 fosfato deshidrogenasa (G-6-P-des-H) en suspensiones eritrocitarias procedente de muestras tomadas a un grupo de 626 estudiantes provenientes de África, América Central y el Caribe, América del Sur y Asia, que ingresaron a nuestra provincia entre noviembre de 1999 y noviembre de 2000. Se utilizó el método cualitativo de Breger basado en la reducción enzimática del azul de metileno. Las pruebas se realizaron en el Centro Provincial de Higiene y Epidemiología de Camagüey, Cuba. Se constató que el 2.87 % del grupo estudiado presentó deficiencias en la actividad de la mencionada enzima; el 25 % de las personas de raza negra estudiadas fue portador del defecto enzimático, y que entre las personas originarias del África Subsahariana la deficiencia citada tuvo la mayor incidencia.

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de la incidencia de accidentes por exposición al riesgo biológico en diferentes instituciones hospitalarias, en el Hospital "Manuel Ascunce", "Amalia Simoni", Hospital Militar "Octavio de la Concepción", Hospital Oncológico "María Curie" y en el Centro Provincial de Higiene y Epidemiología en la provincia de Camagüey desde agosto de 2000 hasta agosto de 2002 con el objetivo de determinar la frecuencia de los tipos de lesiones de acuerdo con las actividades asistenciales realizadas por el personal lesionado y el riesgo biológico inherente a ellas. En este estudio se determinó que los técnicos de laboratorios, auxiliares de limpieza y enfermeras fueron los más comprometidos. Se constató que las lesiones superficiales, así como los pinchazos que atraviesan el tejido celular subcutáneo y las salpicaduras fueron los tipos más frecuentes de lesiones y constituyeron el 38, 24 y 20 %, respectivamente, del total de casos. Se supo además que la sangre (18 casos), las excreciones corporales (14 casos) y el suero (9 casos) fueron los materiales biológicos más frecuentes en los accidentes. La manipulación de sangre, agujas hipodérmicas, y otros objetos punzantes y cortantes fueron las actividades sanitarias de riesgo que tuvieron relacionadas con los accidentes.

The paper explores a Fregean inspired conception on what concerns the nature of logical laws. A basic idea is that logic must ‘take care of itself’, i.e., nothing topic-specific could play the role of ground for a logical law. In this Fregean mood, we’ll see as isolating logical laws requires to separate being true from taken to be true. Such a path will lead us through a discussion on the role of representation in its relation to the true and the false. Logic’s proper justification (proof) concerns returning to more basic truths, but justifying such truths is something beyond its scope. According to Frege, logical laws are grounded solely on being true, which brings us back to the question about these laws’ relation to topic-specific matters, as well as their revision.

We defend the guise of the good thesis in a tradition going back to Socrates and Plato, according to which persons act on the basis of what appears to them as good or the least bad or evil act available to them. This seems contrary to moral experience, but we defend the thesis against plausible counter-examples in life as well as fiction. We contend that the thesis makes wrong-doing and vice intelligible, but still wrong, dysfunctional and horrific.

La gestión del conocimiento es un proceso ejecutado en diversidad de empresas y organizaciones; posee tres dimensiones importantes: creación; transferencia – almacenamiento; aplicación y uso del conocimiento. Autores como: Escorcia y Barros (2020); Bom y Bolívar (2015); Tarí y García (2009), concuerdan en la necesidad de aumentar la calidad y valoración del capital intelectual de las empresas con miras a aumentar la generación de conocimiento y por ende mejorar la gestión. El objetivo del estudio fue proponer una herramienta para mejorar la gestión del conocimiento en la carrera de educación primaria de la Universidad Nacional del Santa, Perú. La investigación fue descriptiva con diseño de campo; la población fue de 120 estudiantes de la carrera de educación primaria y se les aplicó un cuestionario validado por expertos de confiabilidad: 0.896/bueno. Como resultado se obtuvo que el 60.8% de los estudiantes, percibe la gestión como regular. Se concluye con esta investigación que se debe mejorar la gestión del conocimiento, ameritando cambios en los procesos y procedimientos, por medio de la implementación de la herramienta de mejora continúa propuesta en esta investigación.

Abstract This narrative is the result of the round-table “Mariana, Barcarena, Brumadinho: mining and environmental crimes”, at the III Latin-American Congress of Political Ecology, in March 2019. We present the crimes in mining activities and the experiences born from the resistance to extractive projects that threaten the planet’s integrity and human life. We seek to understand and investigate the reactions to these projects, assessing economic, social and geographic dimensions. This transdisciplinary perspective contributes to understand that socioenvironmental and sociotechnical crimes are not isolated, and that extractive projects of mining companies are a result of a logic of global capital expansion and of a territorial structure where the mining activity takes place. This logic of accumulation is not only horizontal, with the expansion of the extraction frontiers, but is also vertical, because it penetrates the deepest parts of the earth, water, air and all the nature and living beings.

Trata-se de um relato de experiência sobre aspectos relacionados ao sigilo profissional a partir da vivência na direção de um Conselho Regional de Serviço Social entre os anos de 2011 e 2017.

Ao final, analisa algumas situações concretas experimentadas no cotidiano do Conselho, relacionando-as com a legislação profissional e as prerrogativas éticas do Serviço Social brasileiro, especialmente as relações entre as condições éticas e técnicas de trabalho e as responsabilidades éticas de assistentes sociais.

Learn more about Eastern Indigo Snakes! The Wildlife of Florida Factsheet series was created to provide the public with a quick accurate introduction to Florida’s wildlife, including both native and invasive. We hope these factsheets inspire people to investigate wildlife in their own backyard and communities and understand the amazing biodiversity of wildlife in the state of Florida.

Distúrbios do equilíbrio consistem em um grande problema na doença de Parkinson (DP). A terapia por vibração do corpo inteiro mostra-se benéfica em pessoas saudáveis, mas apresenta eficácia incerta na DP. O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar os efeitos agudos da terapia por vibração do corpo inteiro sobre o equilíbrio de pacientes com DP e analisar o tamanho do efeito da intervenção para predizer o número ideal de participantes. Doze participantes com DP foram randomicamente divididos entre grupos intervenção e placebo. O grupo intervenção foi submetidos à terapia vibratória, tendo o equilíbrio avaliado em período anterior, imediatamente após e transcorrido cinco minutos da sessão. O grupo placebo fez uma intervenção simulada, tendo o equilíbrio avaliado nos mesmos períodos. Ambos os grupos tiveram seus olhos vendados para manter cegamento dos participantes sobre a intervenção. As variáveis analisadas foram deslocamento, área e velocidade de deslocamento. O tamanho do efeito foi verificado em análises univariadas e multivariadas, admitindo significância em 5%. Sobre os resultados, a terapia por vibração do corpo inteiro não apresentou eficácia sobre o equilíbrio na DP em momento imediato e transcorrido cinco minutos da aplicação da terapia. A análise que apresentou maior tamanho do efeito se deu quando o equilíbrio foi mensurado de forma multivariada, predizendo a necessidade de 46 pacientes. Em conclusão, os resultados desse estudo foram imprecisos quanto à eficácia da terapia por vibração do corpo inteiro no equilíbrio de pacientes com DP. Novas pesquisas com uma amostra superior a 46 participantes devem ser realizadas.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Hospitals integrate several risks posed by physical, chemical, psychosocial and ergonomic factors, which may be noxious for different healthcare professionals. This study aimed at evaluating the level of physical activity, the presence of musculoskeletal risk factors and the incidence of low back pain among nursing professionals of a hospital Materials and Sterilization Center. METHODS: Sample was made up of 56 individuals of both genders, working for the Associação Beneficente de Campo Grande/MS-Hospital Santa Casa. Participants were divided in two groups: G1 (insufficiently active, n=27) and G2 (sufficiently active, n=29). In addition to the level of physical activity, anthropometric data, incidence of pain and functional incapacity, flexibility and muscle resistance were evaluated. RESULTS: The incidence of low back pain was lower in G2 (13 cases; 44.8%) as compared to G1 (24 cases; 88.9%). Body mass index, pain intensity and functional incapacity index were lower for G2. Time of physical activity was lower in G1. Abdominal muscles resistance was higher in G2. CONCLUSION: In nursing professionals, the level of physical activity influences the presence of low back pain, pain intensity and functional incapacity index.

William Irwin defends a form of moral anti-realism, according to which there are no objective moral facts. He contends that moral realism is objectionable because of its being more complex or not as simple as anti-realism; moral realism is in conflict with science; moral realism is also challenged by the fact that our moral judgements would differ if we were subject to a different biology or evolutionary past. Irwin also argues that insofar as moral realism is supportable evidentially by experience this would lead to the absurdity of thinking theism may be supported evidentially by religious experience. In response, it is argued that there are many truths (about logic and mathematics) and practices (such as science itself) that are not intelligible if there are no objective, normative truths and that objective moral truths are no more dispensable or odd than epistemic norms. It is further argued that Irwin's account of the evolution of morality is not able to escape presupposing objective moral facts (about harm and benefaction). Finally, the appeal to moral and religious experience is defended in making the case for moral realism and theism.

Philip Kitcher and other secular naturalists assert that we have a problem-free concept of the "mundane physical world" and use the idea of our familiar material world to critique those who recognize a transcendent reality as in theism. It is argued that the naturalist's concept of the world faces problems involving the primacy of the mental, normativity, sensations and consciousness, and contemporary science. A closing section suggests, contra secular naturalism, that our experience of the mundane world can be suffused with a sense of the transcendent, as we find in Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. This conclusion is supported by reference to other work.

A thought makes truth turn in some given way on how things are. What it thus does decomposes in partial doings of this. For example, making truth turn on whether Sid is sober may decompose into making truth turn on which ways Sid is, and on which objects are sober. If we assume that a thought decomposed in just one such way. Such, then, would be a thought’s essential structure. That idea might then apply as follows. To hold a thought true one must first grasp it. To grasp it one must each element of its essential structure. If, say, those elements are making truth turn on Sid and making it turn on who is sober, then one must grasp what it would be for something to be Sid (and for something to be sober). The working assumption here is false. But in any case this application is mistaken. Or so this essay argues.

Se analizaron datos aeromagnéticos de la región Akonolinga–Mbama, con la finalidad de determinar la geología de subsuperficie de la zona. La interpretación de los datos disponibles, en forma de un mapa aeromagnético residual, muestra a esta vasta zona como magnéticamente tranquila, y las zonas complejas no se correlacionan con la geología de la superficie de la región. Dentro de esta zona magnética tranquila una zona negativa alta, anómala, alargada y circular parece significar la intrusión de una roca plutónica en las formaciones metamórficas de la región. Se utilizaron el análisis espectral y la modelación dimensional de 2 y medio (2½ -D) para determinar la profundidad de los cuerpos que lo causaron y analizar las rocas de origen a lo largo de tres perfiles que cruzan las zonas en estudio. Se obtuvieron modelos de las intrusiones graníticas de diversas zonas, lo cual parece significar algunas fallas poco profundas a lo largo de las zonas de contacto. Esto nos permitió delimitar el margen norte del Congo Cratón, con lo cual distinguimos las formaciones cratónicas de la faja Panafricana plegada. Parte de la faja se ha extendido sobre la parte norte del Congo Cratón en Camerún. doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/S0016-7169(14)71486-2

This study aims to understand teachers’ strategies of planning students’ visits to science museums and how they intend to relate this visit to formal science teaching. The study was conducted with 21 teachers of Science, Physics, Chemistry and Biology, randomly identified among visitors to a science museum, who were accompanying their students. Interviews and written records of teachers about teachers strategies were analyzed using the textual discursive analysis revealed five levels of control (or choice) adopted by teachers for planning and tracking of students' visits to the museum. The results showed that most teachers surveyed use control elements, requesting notes for reports to be retrieved in school. The evaluation mechanisms planned by teachers after the visit showed an intention for preserving and contextualization of the museum experience in other contexts, like in school.

Hay dos maneras de interpretar la Modernidad; a través de un enfoque cultural o a través de una enfoque acultural. La explicación acultural de la Modernidad conlleva considerar que diferentes espacios gegráficos afrontan un mismo tipo de cambio histórico. Al contrario una visión cultural subraya la existencia de modernidades múltiples construidas a través de procesos históricos distintos.

Hay una analogía entre la guerra, la construcción del estado y el crimen organizado en la historia de los últimos siglos en Europa. Los diferentes usos de la fuerza han tenido un papel central en la historia de las autoridades europeas. Así, la emergencia de los estados-nación fue el resultado de la ordenación de la violencia organizada a través de cuatro actividades: la guerra, la construcción del estado, la protección y la extracción.

In 2013, Governor Jerry Brown and the California legislature radically restructured the state’s school funding system and accountability systems with a weighted student formula and a mandated local planning process in each district. The new law substitutes local politics and grassroots agency for state-driven mandates and compliance reviews. While the Local Control Funding Formula has had immediate impact, early evaluations suggest that districts like the new system and are earnest in their implementation efforts, but it will take years to assess the effect of the multi-indicator Local Control Accountability Plans. Simultaneously, the state is implementing the Common Core State Standards and the associated Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium tests, which make creating local accountability plans more complicated.

This article tries to, from a significant case of study (mobilizations in the streets of Philippines in 2001), inquire into the way by which new technologies of communication interact with new tactics and forms of organization of social movements, study their effects on the latter, as well as to analyze the changes that could have occurred in relation to the internationalization of social movements at the beginning of twenty-first century.Este artículo pretende, a partir de un estudio de caso significativo (las movilizaciones en las calles de Filipinas en 2001), indagar en la forma en que las nuevas tecnologías de la comunicación interactúan con las nuevas tácticas y formas de organización de los movimientos sociales, estudiar sus efectos sobre éstos, así como analizar los cambios que pudieran haberse producido en la internacionalización de los movimientos sociales a comienzos del siglo veintiuno.

Given Fielding’s noteworthy achievement as a songwriter, two puzzling issues arise. First, why are his lyrics so superior to his poetry, and second, why did he become immersed in popular song when he had limited respect for the form? The second question is the more easily answered: the often impecunious Fielding embraced ballad opera after noting the monumental success of The Beggar’s Opera. Its appeal for him, though, was not simply financial as its attack on Italian opera and use of songs to make moral points also attracted him. Once underway, however, his career as a lyricist quickly revealed his talent for word-painting, as he skillfully used music to reinforce his words’ meaning; and he integrated his airs so smoothly into the action that many are written as dialogue, giving them dramatic force. He also proved highly adept at setting new words to old melodies, using the previous lyrics to provide an interpretive framework for his own. Ironically, too, his limited respect for the genre contributed to his success as he abandoned the stilted and elevated style of his poetry and adopted popular music’s easy informality. Indeed, if English song was ‘low’, it was ultimately by stooping that Fielding conquered

Se presenta una comparación de los resultados obtenidos al usar 2 métodos de segmentación de imagen en lesiones ateroscleróticas de la aorta torácica; uno supervisado y el otro no supervisado. La segmentación se empleó con preprocesamiento y sin preprocesamiento. Se presentan las ventajas que origina este tipo de procedimiento en la discriminación de las diferentes lesiones, a saber: estrías adiposas, placas fibrosas, placas complicadas y placas calcificadas. Se constata que en todos los casos los algoritmos no supervisados fueron superiores a los supervisados.A comparison of the results obtained on using 2 image segmentation methods in arteriosclerotic lesions of the thoracic aorta is presented. One of these methods was supervised and the other wasn't. The segmentation was used with preprocessing and without preprocessing. The advantages of this type of procedure for the discrimination of different lesions, such as adipoid striae, fibrous plates, complicated plates, and calcified plates, are explained. It is shown that in every case the non-supervised algorithms were high than those supervised.

O estudo foi conduzido no Laboratório de Bromatologia do CENTEC, durante os meses de junho a dezembro de 2004. O objetivo foi avaliar o comportamento do teor de Umidade do mel do município de Limoeiro do Norte-CE durante o armazenamento de seis meses em recipientes de plástico e de metal. Os méis utilizados neste trabalho foram acondicionados nos dois tipos de embalagens, e armazenados durante seis meses à temperatura ambiente. Mensalmente efetuou-se ensaios de umidade nos méis de acordo com a metodologia da AOAC (1998). O teor de umidade sob diferentes embalagens não sofreu influência progressiva com o tempo de armazenamento, apesar das variações detectadas nos tempos intermediários. Apesar das oscilações ao longo do armazenamento, os teores de umidade não obedeceram a um comportamento claramente dependente do tempo. De acordo com os resultados conclui-se que, no final dos seis meses de armazenamento, ambas as embalagens apresentaram valores de umidade inferiores a 20g/100g (Brasil, 2000) e que dentre as duas embalagens utilizadas no estudo, o recipiente plástico apresentou melhor resultado na manutenção dos níveis de umidade.

Este es un estudio exploratorio sobre la emergencia y la expansión de las organizaciones violentas no estatales, en el que se intenta dar cuenta de una de las tendencias más fuertes en el ejercicio contemporáneo de la violencia colectiva: la sustitución del Estado central por otras fuerzas. El autor sugiere dos mecanismos básicos para explicar la tendencia mencionada: la explotación y el atesoramiento. El primero supone la extracción de valor por parte de las redes violentas. El segundo implica el control pleno sobre la propiedad, la explotación y la distribución de los recursos. En ambos casos, el ejercicio de la violencia genera desigualdad y las condiciones para su reproducción y expansión. Las organizaciones violentas no hacen nada que los Estados nacionales no hayan hecho a lo largo de la historia, la única diferencia es que no son Estados.

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A disfunção temporomandibular é uma síndrome clínica que acomete principalmente músculos mastigatórios e articulações temporomandibulares. Como a articulação temporomandibular está diretamente relacionada à região cervical e escapular por meio de cadeias musculares, alterações posturais da coluna podem acarretar distúrbios de articulação temporomandibular, e vice-versa. A relação entre a postura corporal e a disfunção temporomandibular pode estabelecer uma forma de prevenção e reabilitação. Sendo assim o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a influência do tratamento da disfunção temporomandibular muscular na postura global de indivíduos diagnosticados por meio do Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders. MÉTODOS: Trinta pacientes foram classificados em grupo controle (n=12) (sem diagnóstico clínico de disfunção temporomandibular) e tratamento (n=17) (com diagnóstico de disfunção temporomandibular). Esses pacientes passaram por avaliação postural através da fotogrametria e análise pelo Software de Avaliação Postural. O tratamento consistiu em aconselhamento, fisioterapia caseira e uso do dispositivo interoclusal, monitorado por dois meses. Os pacientes do grupo controle apenas utilizaram o dispositivo interoclusal pelo mesmo período. Após o tratamento, uma nova avaliação foi feita pela fisioterapia. RESULTADOS: Nos pacientes do grupo controle, não ocorreram alterações nas medidas correspondentes ao inicio da intervenção comparado ao pós-tratamento. Já no grupo tratamento, apenas o ângulo de alinhamento vertical da cabeça exibiu resultado estatisticamente significativo (p
