Prensa y redes sociales en internet: aproximaciones a la relación de dos diarios argentinos en línea con Facebook y Twitter

El presente articulo se enmarca en una investigacion, de corte sociosemiotica, que se propone analizar la incorporacion de recursos propios de las redes sociales en Internet (RSI) en las interfaces digitales de los dos principales diarios argentinos, Clarin y La Nacion, asi como tambien las maneras en que dichos periodicos en linea gestionan y utilizan sus cuentas oficiales en Facebook (FB) y Twitter (TW). Las reflexiones aqui expuestas son parte de la primera etapa, exploratoria, de un estudio que tiene por finalidad dar cuenta de la incidencia de las RSI tanto en el vinculo de la prensa con su publico lector, como en la relacion prensa-esfera publica. Segun hemos podido apreciar hasta el momento, los diarios en linea estudiados utilizan sus cuentas oficiales en FB y TW para: la difusion viral de sus contenidos; establecer un contacto mas directo con su publico; canalizar el interes de la audiencia por la participacion; consolidar sus posiciones en estos sitios; y, por ultimo, procurar que los usuarios controlen la calidad de sus intervenciones. Por otra parte, la incorporacion de recursos propios de las RSI en estos diarios impactaria, sobre todo, en el proceso de circulacion de noticias, que deja de ser una unidad estable y se modifica a medida que circula por las RS

Eventos adversos supuestamente atribuibles a la vacunación e inmunización en hijos de madres infectadas con el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana

Introduccion: las vacunas son una de las intervenciones sanitarias mas importantes y difundidas. La monitorizacion de su seguridad a traves del registro de eventos adversos es imprescindible. Los hijos de madre infectada por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH), expuestos, infectados o serorrevertidos son un grupo particular de individuos dentro del esquema de inmunizacion. El objetivo del presente estudio fue describir la frecuencia de eventos adversos supuestamente atribuibles a la vacunacion e inmunizacion (ESAVI) en los hijos de madres infectadas con VIH. Metodologia: se realizo un estudio descriptivo, de corte transversal entre el 1o de setiembre de 2008 y el 28 de febrero de 2011 en el Centro Nacional de Referencia Obstetrico-Pediatrico VIH-SIDA del Centro Hospitalario Pereira Rossell con los pacientes alli controlados ( infectados y no infectados) que requerian vacunacion en sus controles. Se registro el porcentaje y tipo de eventos producidos. Resultados: de 189 pacientes, 110 (58%) entregaron el formulario con un total de 157 registros. La mediana de edad fue de 2 meses (rango de 2 meses a 17 anos). El 63% era menor de 6 meses. De los 110 ninos, 34 eran infectados y 76 no infectados Se registraron eventos adversos en 49 (44,5%) pacientes. Hubo 108 eventos leves y 23 graves. El porcentaje de ESAVI en ambos grupos fue similar (p>0,05). No se registraron hospitalizaciones ni eventos dificiles de catalogar como relacionados a vacunacion. Conclusiones: las vacunas administradas en ese periodo fueron seguras con similares ESAVI en ambos grupos de pacientes. Continuar vigilando la aparicion de ESAVI y comparar los resultados ano a ano sera importante para actualizar recomendaciones y garantizar la seguridad de los pacientes y sus cuidadores.
Assimilation of Earth Observation Variables and In Situ Measurements in a Surface Energy Balance Model: A Case Study of a Desert City Area

Satellite based data and ground measurements were assimilated in a surface energy balance (SEB) model to assess urban energy fluxes in Abu Dhabi (UAE) metropolitan area during the winter and the summer seasons. Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) data were used to derive land surface variables such as albedo, emissivity, and land cover. Solar radiation parameters (incoming shortwave and longwave radiation) have been derived from the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI)/METEOSAT and from a ground station located in the study area. Meteorological variables have also been assimilated into the model. The analysis highlighted the particular characteristics of cities located in desert areas. The irrigated vegetation increases the contribution of latent heat flux (QE) component in the SEB of downtown areas compared to the surrounding desert areas. The hazy atmosphere observed during the summer period has also affected the retrieval of incoming shortwave radiation from satellite-based methods. The sensitivity of the model to this variable has been assessed and evaluated with in situ solar radiation measurements.
Emotional Intelligence and Locus of Control as Predictors of Counsellors ’ Efficacy among School Counsellors in Lagos State , Nigeria

This study examined the composite emotional intelligence and locus of control as predictors of counsellors’ efficacy among school counsellors in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study investigated the relative effects of the independent variable on the criterion variable. A total number of three hundred and ninety six male and female school practicing counsellors were randomly selected with the use of simple random sampling technique from the six educational districts of Lagos state. The counsellor self-efficacy scale, Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale and Rotter‘s Locus of Control Scale were the three instruments used to collect data for the study. Data were analysed using Pearson Moment correlation Coefficient statistical method. The result shows that emotional intelligence and locus of control have significant relationship to school counsellor efficacy in terms of making decisions, solving problems, planning and organizing programmes that are consistent with behaviours of professional counselors. It also reveals that emotional intelligence and locus of control are essential in enhancing counselors’ preparedness and discharge of duties while dealing with clients. ________________________________________________________________________________________
Haemorrhagic stroke in term and late preterm neonates

Objective Few data regarding causes and outcomes of haemorrhagic stroke (HS) in term neonates are available. We characterised risk factors, mechanism and short-term outcomes in term and late preterm neonates with acute HS. Design Prospective cohort. Setting Single-centre tertiary care stroke registry. Subjects Term and late preterm neonates (≥34 weeks gestation), born 2004–2010, with acute HS ≤28 days of life were identified, and clinical information was abstracted. Short-term outcomes were assessed via standardised neurological exam and rated using the Paediatric Stroke Outcome Measure (PSOM). Results Among 42 neonates, median gestational age was 39.7 weeks (IQR 38–40.7 weeks). Diagnosis occurred at a median of 1 day (IQR 0–7 days) after delivery. Twenty-seven (64%) had intraparenchymal and intraventricular haemorrhage. Mechanism was haemorrhagic transformation of venous or arterial infarction in 22 (53%). Major risk factors included congenital heart disease (CHD), fetal distress and haemostatic abnormalities. Common presentations included seizure, apnoea, and poor feeding or vomiting. Acute hydrocephalus was common. Mortality was 12%. Follow-up occurred in 36/37 survivors at a median of 1 year (IQR 0.5–2.0 years). Among 17/36 survivors evaluated in stroke clinic, 47% demonstrated neurologic deficits. Deficits were mild (PSOM 0.5–1.5) in 9/36 (25%), and moderate-to-severe (PSOM ≥2.0) in 8/36 (22%). Conclusions In our cohort with acute HS, most presented with seizures, apnoea and/or poor feeding. Fetal distress and CHD were common. Nearly two-thirds had intraparenchymal with intraventricular haemorrhage. Over half were due to haemorrhagic transformation of infarction. Short-term neurologic deficits were present in 47% of survivors.
Social well-being of young adults with type 1 diabetes since childhood. The Oulu cohort study of diabetic retinopathy

Aim: To evaluate the social performance of young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) since childhood with particular interest in its relation to the severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Methods: The prevalence of DR was evaluated in a population-based Finnish cohort of children with T1D during 1989–1990. The subjects were contacted 18 years later for evaluation of DR, education, employment, and family relations. Results: 136 of 216 subjects participated in the study in 2007 (mean age 30±3 years, mean diabetes duration 23±4 years, 78 men). There were 42 subjects (31%) with proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). A university degree was held by 9%, a degree from a university of applied sciences by 33%, and 45% had a vocational school education; 7% were full-time students while 4% had received no education after comprehensive school. PDR was associated with lower education. Sixty percent of the subjects with PDR and 68% of those with non-PDR held full-time jobs. Four percent of the non-PDR group were unemployed while 26% of subjects with PDR were outside working life because of either unemployment or retirement. Seventy-one percent of the subjects had a spouse, and 60 subjects had a total of 119 children. PDR did not compromise the likelihood of having a spouse and children. Conclusions: The majority of young adults with T1D take active roles in society by working and raising families. However, patients with PDR lacked secondary education significantly more often and were less likely to work than those with non-PDR.
Effects of bending on cracking and critical current of Nb/sub 3/Sn ITER wires

Critical current (I/sub c/) measurements and microscopic crack investigations were performed on short samples of ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) wires, designed for the CSMC (Central Solenoid Model Coil), that were bent to curvatures ranging up to 0.3% at room temperature. I/sub c/ was found to improve significantly with bending. Microstructural investigation revealed that IGC and VAC samples were nearly crack-free at all bend strains while Furukawa samples had significant cracking due to polishing and unrelated to bending.
Anxiety, Significant Losses, Depression, and Irrational Beliefs in First-Offence Shoplifters

Objective: To evaluate the relationship among demographic data, anxiety, significant losses, depression, and irrational beliefs reported by first-offence shoplifters. Method: One hundred and six adult shoplifters who were first-time offenders completed a self-administered questionnaire. Results: Men and women were equally likely to be arrested for this offence. The majority of offenders were poor and unemployed. Depression, but not anxiety, was the most common psychiatric disorder associated with shoplifting. Subjects with depression presented the greatest number of irrational beliefs related to shoplifting. Conclusions: The authors suggest 2 categories of shoplifters: those who shoplift through rational choice; and those for whom shoplifting is a response to depression or leads to the fulfilment of some psychological needs. In conclusion, shoplifting does not have a unitary motive, and the clinical implications are that the affective and cognitive aspects of shoplifters' behaviours must be taken into account.
The Effect of the Direct Historical Approach on the Development of Theory in Plains Archaeology: A Comment on Mitchell's Analysis of the MBP Legacy

Mark Mitchell's analysis of the legacy of the Missouri Basin Project (MBP) identified the direct historical approach as one discourse that shaped the MBP legacy. While that identification is certainly correct, the discussion is too limited in two ways. First, the use of the direct historical approach for tracing ethnicity was more limited than is generally recognized. Second, and more seriously, the rich documentary and ethnographic record of the Plains Village lifeway became a too readily used source of specific analogies for reading the archaeological record. Theory became irrelevant. Some of the numerous inaccuracies this produced are only recently being corrected.
The micrococci in a marine environment.

Micrococci forming part of the marine flora, are especially important in fish spoilage. They are common in estuarine mud but rare in sea water and in marine mud of the Australian continental shelf. Non-pigmented and orange strains are most abundant; lemon-yellow strains are found in the early stage of spoilage of teleost fish, but are rare in mud. About 10 % of the cocci form packets, and these are commonest in mud. Nearly all marine micrococci are saccharolytic, hydrolyse urea, and attack asparagine, aspartic acid and alanine. The classification and taxonomic position of these cocci are discussed.
On the general BER expression of one- and two-dimensional amplitude modulations

Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is an attractive technique to achieve high rate transmission without increasing the bandwidth. A great deal of attention has been devoted to the study of bit error rate (BER) performance of QAM, and approximate expressions for the bit error probability of QAM have been developed in many places in the literature. However, the exact and general BER expression of QAM with an arbitrary constellation size has not been derived yet. We provide an exact and general closed-form expression of the BER for one-dimensional and two-dimensional amplitude modulations, i.e., PAM and QAM, under an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel when Gray code bit mapping is employed. The provided BER expressions offer a convenient way to evaluate the performance of PAM and QAM systems for various cases of practical interest. Moreover, simple approximations can be found from our expressions, which are the same as the well-known approximations, if only the dominant terms are considered.
Intelligence and Religious and Political Differences Among Members of the U.S. Academic Elite

Many studies have found inverse correlations between intelligence and religiosity, intelligence and political conservatism, and intelligence and political extremism. Other studies have found that academics tend to be significantly less religious and more liberal than the general population. In this article, we argue that interdisciplinary differences in religiosity and political perspective among academics are predicted by interdisciplinary differences in intelligence between academics. Once personality factors correlating with religiosity have been substantially controlled for, physicists, who have higher average intelligence, are less religious than are social scientists, who have lower average intelligence. Physical scientists are also less politically extreme than are social sci-
1 14 A pr 2 00 4 The History of Astrophysics in Antarctica

We examine the historical development of astrophysical science in Antarctica from the early 20th century until today. We find three temporally overlapping eras, each having a rather distinct beginning. These are the astrogeological era of meteorite discovery, the high energy era of particle detectors, and the photon astronomy era of microwave, sub–mm and infrared telescopes, sidelined by a few niche experiments at optical wavelengths. The favourable atmospheric and geophysical conditions are briefly examined, followed by an account of the major experiments and a summary of their results.
Oxidative Stress Reprograms Lipopolysaccharide Signaling via Src Kinase-dependent Pathway in RAW 264.7 Macrophage Cell Line*

Oxidative stress generated during ischemia/reperfusion injury has been shown to augment cellular responsiveness. Whereas oxidants are themselves known to induce several intracellular signaling cascades, their effect on signaling pathways initiated by other inflammatory stimuli remains poorly elucidated. Previous work has suggested that oxidants are able to prime alveolar macrophages for increased NF-κB translocation in response to treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Because oxidants are known to stimulate the Src family of tyrosine kinases, we hypothesized that the oxidants might contribute to augmented NF-κB translocation by LPS via the involvement of Src family kinases. To model macrophage priming in vitro, the murine macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7, was first incubated with various oxidants and then exposed to low dose LPS. These studies show that oxidant stress is able to augment macrophage responsiveness to LPS as evidenced by earlier and increased NF-κB translocation. Inhibition of the Src family kinases by either pharmacological inhibition using PP2 or through a molecular approach by cell transfection with Csk was found to prevent the augmented LPS-induced NF-κB translocation caused by oxidants. Interestingly, while Src kinase inhibition was able to prevent the LPS-induced NF-κB translocation in oxidant-treated macrophages, this strategy had no effect on NF-κB translocation caused by LPS in the absence of oxidants. These findings suggested that oxidative stress might divert LPS signaling along an alternative signaling pathway. Further studies demonstrated that the Src-dependent pathway induced by oxidant pretreatment involved the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase. Involvement of this pathway appeared to be independent of traditional LPS signaling. Together, these studies provide a novel potential mechanism whereby oxidants might prime alveolar macrophages for altered responsiveness to subsequent inflammatory stimuli and suggest different cellular targets for immunomodulation following ischemia/reperfusion.
Nevirapine Pharmacokinetics and Safety in Neonates Receiving Combination Antiretroviral Therapy for Prevention of Vertical HIV Transmission

Background: Nevirapine (NVP)-based combination antiretroviral therapy is routinely prescribed to infants deemed at high risk of vertical HIV infection in our centers. We evaluated NVP pharmacokinetics and safety of this regimen. Methods: Neonates were recruited prospectively between September 2012 and April 2015 or enrolled retrospectively if treated similarly before prospective study initiation. NVP was dosed at 150 mg/m2 daily for 14 days, then twice daily for 14 days. NVP levels were drawn at weeks 1, 2, and 4 [target trough (NVP-T): 3–8 mg/L]. Results: Thirty-three neonates were included (23 prospectively). Median gestational age (GA) and birth weight were 38 weeks (32–41 weeks) and 2.9 kg (1.5–4.2 kg), respectively. Median NVP-Ts were 8.2 mg/L (1.6–25.1 mg/L), 3.5 mg/L (1.6–6.8 mg/L), and 4.3 mg/L (0.1–19.9 mg/L) at weeks 1, 2, and 4, respectively. The proportions with therapeutic NVP-T were 42%, 61%, and 73% at these same timepoints. Median apparent oral clearance (CL/F) increased from 0.05 L·kg−1·h−1 (0.01–0.50 L·kg−1·h−1) at week 2 to 0.18 L·kg−1·h−1 (0.01–0.78 L·kg−1·h−1) at week 4. Increased drug exposure [area under the curve (AUC&tgr;)] correlated with younger GA (r = 0.459, P = 0.032) and lower birth weight (r = 0.542, P = 0.009). The most common adverse events potentially attributable to combination antiretroviral therapy were transient asymptomatic hyperlactatemia (26%), anemia (24.7%), and neutropenia (22.1%). Conclusions: Treatment dose NVP was generally well-tolerated and associated with normalization of trough levels over time in most cases without dose adjustment. Lower empiric dosing is recommended for infants <34 weeks of GA. Routine therapeutic drug monitoring may not be required for infants ≥34 weeks of GA.
Sex differences in response to lithium treatment.

OBJECTIVE Although sex differences occur with some psychotropic drug treatments, they are not well defined for mood-stabilizing agents, including lithium. The authors' goal was to investigate whether there are differences between the sexes in response to lithium. METHOD Studies identified in a literature search were analyzed for reports of sex differences in clinical response to lithium in major affective syndromes. RESULTS Data from 17 studies published in 1967-1998, involving 1,548 adults treated with lithium for a mean of 38.6 months (SD=30.5), yielded similar weighted response rates to lithium in 1,043 women (65.6% [N=684]) and 505 men (61.0% [N=308]). CONCLUSIONS The results indicate little difference between the sexes in clinical response to lithium treatment of bipolar and related affective disorders.
On the Marketing of IPOs

Derrien (2005) and Ljungqvist, Nanda, and Singh (2003) build upon the work of Miller (1977) and claim that issuers and the regular customers of investment bankers benefit from the presence of sentiment investors (noise traders) in the market for an IPO. Thus we argue that investment bankers have an incentive to promote an IPO in order to induce sentiment investors into the market for it. Consistent with this motivation and these models, we expect that the promotional efforts of investment bankers should influence the compensation of investment bankers, the valuation of an IPO, its initial returns and trading, the wealth gains of inside shareholders, and the likelihood that an issuer switches investment bankers for a subsequent seasoned equity offering. Examining data for a sample of IPOs from 1993 through 2000, we find evidence consistent with these predictions, and so with the proposition that an investment banker's ability to market an IPO to sentiment investors is important.
Three Cases of Pityriasis rubra pilaris Successfully Treated with Cyclosporin A

Background: Pityriasis rubra pilaris (PRP) is reported to respond poorly to cyclosporin A (CsA). Objective: We attempted to determine the efficacy of CsA in the treatment of classic adult-type PRP. Methods: Three patients with classic adult-type PRP were treated with 5 mg/kg/day CsA. Results: A sustained clinical response was achieved within 2–4 weeks of therapy. Relapses were noted when the CsA dose was decreased to 1.2 mg/kg/day. Conclusion: CsA should be considered in the treatment of classical adult-type PRP.
eciprocation and altruism in social cooperation

Altruistic behavior benefits other individuals at a cost to oneself. The purpose of the present experiment was to study altruistic behavior by players (P) in 2-person iterated prisoner’s dilemma games in which reciprocation by the other player (OP) was impossible, and this impossibility was clear to P. Altruism by P could not therefore be attributed to expectation of reciprocation. The cost to P of altruistic behavior was constant throughout the study, but the benefit to OP from P’s cooperation differed between groups and
Influence of Self-Controlled Feedback on Learning a Serial Motor Skill

Self-controlled feedback on a variety of tasks are well established as effective means of facilitating motor skill learning. This study assessed the effects of self-controlled feedback on the performance of a serial motor skill. The task was to learn the sequence of 18 movements that make up the Taekwondo Poomsae Taegeuk first, which is the first beginner's practice form learned in this martial art. Twenty-four novice female participants (M age = 27.2 yr., SD = 1.8) were divided into two groups. All participants performed 16 trials in 4 blocks of the acquisition phase and 20 hr. later, 8 trials in 2 blocks of the retention phase. The self-controlled feedback group had significantly higher performance compared to the yoked-feedback group with regard to acquisition and retention. The results of this study may contribute to the literature regarding feedback by extending the usefulness of self-controlled feedback for learning a serial skill.
