The development of the extractivist model in Argentina has numerous consequences for the territories and the human and non-human beings that inhabit them. Changes in land use, 'development' infrastructures, technological packages and land grabbing expel their inhabitants to other areas of the country, generally urban, where, far from finding better living conditions, they deepen existing inequalities. In this sense, we propose in this article to analyse those mobilities that involve members of indigenous peoples by describing the environmental scenarios from which they are expelled, mainly in the Chaco region, and the destination territories where these groups converge, focusing on the Metropolitan Region of Buenos Aires. This article is based on information obtained from previous research, fieldwork and field notes, in-depth interviews, analysis of statistical sources, cartographic data and specialised literature on the subject.

Introduction: to present the clinical, surgical, imaging, and histopathological findings of a patient with a gastric teratoma. Materials and Methods: Descriptive analysis was conducted on clinical, demographic, imaging, surgical, and postoperative variables collected. Results: A 33-year-old male patient was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and an angiotc scan revealed an increase in nodular volume in the lesser curvature of the stomach. Upper digestive endoscopy showed an infiltrating lesion extensively affecting the lesser curvature. Laparoscopic total gastrectomy was performed, and histopathological examination confirmed the presence of a mature teratoma in the lesser curvature. The patient experienced a satisfactory postoperative recovery and was discharged. Follow-up at 7 months postoperatively showed no complications. Discussion: Gastric teratoma is a rare tumor characterized by its heterogeneous composition. While it is typically diagnosed in young children, it can occur at any age. The exact cause of gastric teratoma is unknown, but it is believed to result from embryonic developmental anomalies. Diagnosis of teratoma involves a combination of diagnostic tests. Histologically, gastric teratomas consist of tissues derived from different layers of germ cells, including ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. Conclusion: Gastric teratomas are extremely uncommon tumors that pose challenges in terms of diagnosis and management. An interdisciplinary approach is necessary for optimal management.

Background: Cardiopulmonary bypass generates an exacerbated response that may lead to sepsis Objective: To describe the association between procalcitonin levels and sepsis diagnosis in cardiovascular surgery subjects with cardiopulmonary bypass. Material and methods: A case-series study was conducted in 142 patients. Serum procalcitonin levels were measured at 24 hours and at 72 hours after surgery using a point of care testing based on quantitative immunochromatographic method. To assess association between procalcitonin levels and sepsis status, we calculated area under the curve (AUC) and sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for the best cut-off point. Results: From 142 patients studied, 7 developed sepsis after surgery (4.9%). For 24-hours procalcitonin levels AUC was 0.921 and best cut-off point was 3.8 ng/mL (sensitivity 0.857 and specificity 0.904). In the case of 72-hours procalcitonin levels, we observed a value of 0.868 for AUC and best cut-off point was 8.4 ng/mL (sensitivity 0.86 and specificity 0.97). Conclusions: Procalcitonin levels at 24 and 72 hours after cardiovascular surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass are associated with sepsis presence at cut-off points of 3.8 and 8.4 ng/mL respectively.

This article presents the results related to the educational processes that favor the inclusion of students with Rare Diseases. For this purpose, we analyze the teaching planning, the methodological variety, the type of grouping, the organization of spaces and times, support options, evaluation, school transitions and forms of coordination. The methodology used is qualitative through interviews with families, educational professionals, and students with Rare Diseases. The results show the need to incorporate inclusive practices and processes that promote the presence, participation, and achievement of all students without exclusions. In the good inclusive practices analyzed, the inclusion of students in the regular classroom also requires a global restructuring of the school to respond to the diversity of needs. In general, participatory, active, and flexible methodologies, heterogeneous groups and cooperative groupings are used and combined at both the curricular and organizational levels. The organization of spaces and times is fundamental, and there is an attempt to adapt them to comply with the rights so that they are physically and socially accessible to all students. Likewise, school transitions are planned to take care and guarantee that the new changes do not result in additional barriers and obstacles for students with RERD. In short, it is essential to plan and design processes that guarantee the inclusion of all students and respond to different needs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An intervention protocol supported by virtual reality technology has been developed. This protocol allows simulating work environments in which workers face psychosocial risk factors to identify and transform their emotional states and improve their health and work performance. A detailed literature review was done to identify situations that are threatening their mental health in the work environment and are susceptible to simulation using virtual reality. The protocol and the technological tool were validated in a company in the construction sector in Santa Marta, Colombia, showing a good acceptance by the workers. These positively valued this option compared to traditional alternatives for aspects of training in identifying and evaluating different situations that could threaten their mental health. It can be indicated that virtual reality is an effective technological tool to promote, prevent and intervene psychosocial risk factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In humanitarian crisis settings, information gathering can be complex, both for project staff and beneficiaries. Faced with all these difficulties e-Social Work has much to contribute to the different phases of participatory evaluation. This article presents partial results of the Erasmus+ project, KA2- Cooperation for innovation and the exchange of good practices (InovHumbRE Projects). The main aid of this work was to analyze information on which participatory evaluation methods are used by the different institutions/entities that participated in the project and in the context of emergency situations. A mixed type of study was chosen from a descriptive and interpretative approach of a non-generalizable type based on the analysis of quantitative and qualitative data from professionals of non-profit organizations working in emergency situations in Spain. The number of participants was 13 informants from different organizations and social entities. The results show that the use and development of technology, from the approach of e-Social Work, can favor social interventions and participatory evaluations in certain projects or crisis situations.

This research focused on the implementation of different species to evaluate their efficiency in soils disturbed by clay mining. A part of the land was taken and a physical-chemical and microbiological characterization was made to know the conditions of the soil under study before applying the species, then it was divided into four plots of equal measures, of 1.5x1 m, one control and three in which we applied the respective species, this with the objective of evaluating the efficiency of the interaction of the species in the soil contaminated by mining. This study revealed the great capacity of grasses (Maize, star grass and brachiaria grass), and Fabaceae (Yaguaro and Acacia Riparia Kunth), to provide organic materials and nutrients that allowed the evaluation of the efficiency or reactivation of the contaminated soils. It should be noted that the one with the highest efficiency was plot three. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To determine the conditioning factors for labor participation in persons with disability due to spine lesions attended at a specialized rehabilitation center. Methods: A retrospective observational study was carried out at the Departamento de Investigación, Docencia, y Atención en Ayuda al Tratamiento del Servicio de Rehabilitación Professional from 2016 to 2019, 224 patients were evaluated. Clinical, sociodemographic and contextual variables were collected as well as economic activity before and after the trauma. Results: 65% of patients were males; mean age was 38.61 ± 13.33; 85.3% had paraplegia and 63.5% had a lesion grade A on the ASIA scale; duration of illness was higher than one year in 30.4%; 52.2% were single; 51.3% come from provinces of Peru; 50.9% had secondary school level and 61% lived in extreme poverty. A significative difference for labor participation was found between sex (p<0.01) and labor condition (p<0.014) before the spinal lesion. Labor participation after the spinal lesion correlated with socioeconomic level (p<0.005) and the degree of the lesion based on the ASIA scale (p<0.014). The logistic regression analysis found that only duration of illness correlated with labor participation (p=0.039; OR=19.9). Conclusions: Patients with spinal lesions who lived in extreme poverty had higher labor participation as well as those with higher scores in the ASIA scale. The only predicting factor for labor participation was duration of illness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present study assesses the water quality of Ciénaga La Pachita swamp (Cesar, Colombia) by characterizing the aquatic macroinvertebrates associated to the macrophyte Eichhornia crassipes (Pontederiaceae), also known as Buchón de Agua. The assessment also examines physical and chemical variables in different hydrological periods, estimates alpha and beta diversity indices, and determines the BMWP/Col and ASPT water quality indices. As a result, 1550 macroinvertebrates are collected, belonging to five classes, 11 orders, and 21 families. Alpha and beta diversity indices show medium diversity and the class Insecta is dominant. The order Coleoptera is the most diverse while the order Diptera is the most abundant, the Chironomidae family being the most dominant. A significant percentage of the families identified are significantly correlated with both dissolved oxygen and suspended solids. In conclusion, the Ciénaga La Pachita has a medium diversity of macroivertebrates associated to the radicular system of E. crassipes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background. The lockdown during the first wave of COVID-19 in Spain has been related to higher levels of anxiety in the general population. However, the emotional impact on Spanish caregivers of individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) has not been studied so far. Methods. An online questionnaire was distributed to Spanish organisations providing support to individuals with NDD and their families. Data from caregivers of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (N = 17), Down syndrome (DS) (N = 25) and Williams syndrome (WS) (N = 18) were analysed. Results. All caregivers reported concerns directly related to the pandemic and lockdown situation. Caregivers of individuals with ASD showed higher level of concern about the possibility of family conflict. All three groups reported higher levels of anxiety during the lockdown. Anxiety was predicted by previous anxiety disorder and the child's diagnosis. Conclusions. Predictors of anxiety in caregivers of individuals with NDD differ from those previously reported in the general Spanish population. The results suggest that confinement in Spain was especially demanding for families of individuals with ASD. Public policies should consider the particular needs of people with NND and their caregivers to minimise the negative consequences of the ongoing pandemic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this investigation the concentration of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2 was determined in egg-laying hens commercialized at the Bazurto Market of the Cartagena city (Colombia) and it was compared with the maximum values allowed in Colombia. 6 eggs, from randomly chosen main food market of the city and 10 days provided, were analyzed. The analytical technique of high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine the content of aflatoxins. The presence of aflatoxins G1 (0.27 a 0.76 ppb) and G2 (25.49 a 125.67 ppb) in some samples of the eggs were detected and amounts remains of aflatoxin B1 and B2 were not found. The amounts of aflatoxin G2 exceeded the permitted values in NTC 3581 in most samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
