The world today faces a global problem that has been talked about for several years. It is about climate change, an issue of great importance because it affects society, the ecosystem and because not the economy of a country. In this context, Peru is no exception, currently the country is facing difficult and different problems as a consequence of global warming, the change in seasonal periods that are increasingly longer has generated periods of drought, where the soil is arid generating food shortages, causing rationing measures and the non-existence of water, these conditions become the greatest affectation of the towns far from the city, with little infrastructure. According to the World Health Organization, water scarcity affects 4 out of 10 people on the entire planet, thousands die each year from diseases caused by the consumption of non-potable water, given that 18% of the population does not have access to a sanitation network. According to the United Nations, populations that are below 1,700 m3 of water/inhabitant/year are experiencing a situation of water scarcity. In Peru, between 7 and 8 million people still do not have drinking water. Being Huacho the most vulnerable city, groundwater constitutes its main source of water, the extraction is done mainly through tube wells, making it necessary to search for new alternative surface sources. Peltier cells from the condensation of air humidity in the city of Huacho, Peru. In this sense, the methodology consisted of designing and building equipment at the laboratory level to obtain water from the environment with the support of a program developed in Arduino Mega, which is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega1280. This prototype used in electronic circuits under the thermos-electric concept, worked at 3 amperes of current, with an average ambient temperature of 16.32 °C, average relative humidity of 81.97 % and average dew point of 13.22 °C, meteorological characteristics that the city of Huacho for the month of October 2021. It is concluded that through the Peltier cells it was possible to obtain a total volume of monthly water 7148.90 mL, with humidity and temperature being the fundamental parameters to control; in such a way that this system is an alternative in obtaining water resources so scarce and essential for life, a method of relatively low cost to take advantage of water vapor from the environment.

El presente artículo pretende responder a la pregunta: ¿es Internet un territorio? Con ese objetivo se aportan elementos empíricos y teóricos sobre los discursos de las transformaciones actuales en el mundo digital. Este análisis surge de una investigación sobre los hacktivismos en México, realizada desde los marcos de acción colectiva y la investigación narrativa, donde se cuestiona la virtualidad de la Internet, se describen sus jardines vallados y se utiliza la idea de extractivismo para explicar el proceso de acopio de datos por las empresas tecnológicas, y finalmente, se propone estudiar desde las ciencias sociales a la Internet como ciberterritorio.

El trabajo que presentamos tiene como objetivo analizar la religiosidad barroca en Sevilla a través de la figura de Miguel de Mañara. Una religiosidad que es fruto de una decidida política de implantación de la normativa emanada del Concilio de Trento, que en el caso del arzobispado de Sevilla se encauzó mediante la convocatoria de un Sínodo en 1604 por el arzobispo Fernando Niño de Guevara. El análisis de la trayectoria vital de Mañara tras enviudar, comparada con los resultados de Trento y el Sínodo de 1604 nos ha permitido constatar la realidad indiscutible de una religiosidad barroca, que tuvo en Sevilla uno de los lugares en los que alcanzó su máxima expresión y plasticidad.

Background Hypercortisolism in Cushing's syndrome (CS) is associated with bone loss, skeletal fragility, and altered bone quality. No studies evaluated bone geometric and strain–stress values in CS patients after remission thus far. Patients and methods Thirty-two women with CS in remission (mean age [±SD] 51 ± 11; body mass index [BMI], 27 ± 4 kg/m2; mean time of remission, 120 ± 90 months) and 32 age-, BMI-, and gonadal status–matched female controls. Quantitative computed tomography (QCT) was used to assess volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) and buckling ratio, cross-sectional area, and average cortical thickness at the level of the proximal femur. Finite element (FE) models were generated from QCT to calculate strain and stress values (maximum principal strain [MPE], maximum strain energy density [SED], maximum Von Mises [VM], and maximum principal stress [MPS]). Areal BMD (aBMD) and trabecular bone score (TBS) were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (2D DXA). Results Trabecular vBMD at total hip and trochanter were lower in CS as compared with controls (P <.05). Average cortical thickness was lower, and buckling ratio was greater in CS vs controls (P <.01). All strain and stress values were higher in CS patients vs controls (P <.05). 2D DXA–derived measures were similar between patients and controls (P >.05). Prior hypercortisolism predicted both VM (β.30, P =.014) and MPS (β.30, P =.015), after adjusting for age, BMI, menopause, delay to diagnosis, and duration of remission. Conclusions Women with prior hypercortisolism have reduced trabecular vBMD and impaired bone geometrical and mechanical properties, which may contribute to an elevated fracture risk despite long-term remission.

The number and the diversity in nature of daily cyber-attacks have increased in the last few years, and trends show that both will grow exponentially in the near future. Critical Infrastructures (CI) operators are not excluded from these issues; therefore, CIs' Security Departments must have their own group of IT specialists to prevent and respond to cyber-attacks. To introduce more challenges in the existing cyber security landscape, many attacks are unknown until they spawn, even a long time after their initial actions, posing increasing difficulties on their detection and remediation. To be reactive against those cyber-attacks, usually defined as zero-day attacks, organizations must have Threat Hunters at their security departments that must be aware of unusual behaviors and Modus Operandi. Threat Hunters must face vast amounts of data (mainly benign and repetitive, and following predictable patterns) in short periods to detect any anomaly, with the associated cognitive overwhelming. The application of Artificial Intelligence, specifically Machine Learning (ML) techniques, can remarkably impact the real-time analysis of those data. Not only that, but providing the specialists with useful visualizations can significantly increase the Threat Hunters' understanding of the issues that they are facing. Both of these can help to discriminate between harmless data and malicious data, alleviating analysts from the above-mentioned overload and providing means to enhance their Cyber Situational Awareness (CSA). This work aims to design a system architecture that helps Threat Hunters, using a Machine Learning approach and applying state-of-the-art visualization techniques in order to protect Critical Infrastructures based on a distributed, scalable and online configurable framework of interconnected modular components.

Partiendo de una somera explicación de lo que significa Snowden para la sociedad-red en la que convivimos, la intención de este texto es la de poner Internet en situación, como bien común, en los movimientos sociales actuales. Y a la vez que se traza una línea paralela con el movimiento zapatista y sus propuestas éticas, acercándolas al mundo hacker, hasta llegar al uso tecnopolítico de la Red también para defenderla.
