Páramos humanos: retóricas del espacio vacío en La lluvia amarilla de Julio llamazares y en la novela neorrural española
Authors: Díez Cobo Rosa María
Published: February 2018

La publicación de La lluvia amarilla (1988) de Julio Llamazares aconteció a contracorriente, en un momento en que la narrativa española exploraba cauces estilísticos y temáticos alternativos y urbanos, alejados de la profunda ligazón rural que demuestra esta obra, nostalgia y canto fúnebre al abandono irremisible de las pequeñas aldeas que poblaban, que aún pueblan, el campo español. Sin embargo, y pese a esta naturaleza un tanto desacompasada respecto de las tendencias narrativas predominantes en la década de los 80 del siglo XX, esta obra marcó un hito, se convirtió en un estandarte, en voz poética de una realidad que no por oculta o menos considerada socialmente era, es, menos real.

Ha sido, no obstante, en los últimos años, cuando, sorprendentemente, un buen número de jóvenes narradores de extracción urbana principalmente, bajo la rúbrica del ya famoso ensayo La España vacía (2016) de Sergio del Molino han retomado el asunto en un tenor muy similar al marcado por Llamazares. La particular idiosincrasia del paisaje rural del interior español, caracterizado por amplios espacios críticamente despoblados, es la esencia de la que se nutren estos textos; el vacío en cuanto cartografía física e imaginada se constituye, de esta manera, en piedra angular de una importante veta de la literatura actual y joven en España. Asimismo, en estas obras, si algo es destacable, es el desasosiego que crea la voz de sus protagonistas, solitaria y abandonada en un entorno de páramos humanos, plagados de ruinas, de campos yermos, de poblaciones arruinadas. Es, precisamente, esta capacidad de componer un retrato del espacio desoladora, a la par que evocadora, lo que se explorará en este artículo. Y si bien se recurrirá a referencias narrativas diversas, tanto pretéritas, como presentes dentro de la narrativa española de las últimas décadas, el objeto principal de análisis será la ya citada obra de Llamazares y dos obras encuadrables en el movimiento recientemente denominado, aunque de forma controvertida, como neorrural: Intemperie (2013) de Jesús Carrasco y Por si se va la luz (2013) de Lara Moreno.
Espacios imaginarios. La creación de espacios de fuga en Novela de Andrés Choz y El lugar sin culpa
Authors: Lara Jafet Israel
Published: February 2018

El espacio en la obra de José María Merino actúa como marco de las acciones de los personajes y también como un agente que ayuda a la reflexión sobre la identidad de los protagonistas. Un elemento textual decisivo en la creación de la cotidianeidad que viven los personajes. Sin embargo, dentro de esa realidad cotidiana surgen hechos o situaciones trágicas que se ciernen sobre los personajes afectando sus vidas negativamente.

Para combatir el sufrimiento generado por los eventos funestos que persiguen a los personajes, éstos se plantean una estrategia para alejarse de la pesadumbre del presente e intentar aliviar su dolor: crear escenarios imaginarios. Es decir, se gesta el espacio de fuga.

Ante ello, se propone estudiar en esta investigación cómo en Novela de Andrés Choz y El lugar sin culpa surgen espacios propicios para la huida ante la aflicción que sufren los protagonistas de estas dos novelas. Un estudio en dónde se definirá el concepto de espacio de fuga, cómo se crea en las dos novelas de Merino y cuáles son los resultados de su implementación.
La glorieta miniatura: manifiesto genérico del microrrelato
Authors: Mateos Blanco Belén
Published: February 2018

Jose Mª Merino no es sólo uno de los autores contemporáneos más afianzados del microrrelato español, sino que además, como creador, ha aportado nuevas claves al estudio de este tipo de textos desde varias perspectivas; mientras que en La trama oculta: cuentos de los dos lados con una silva mínima Merino aglutina varios ensayos en los que disecciona las características esenciales de la ficción breve, también nos encontramos con los metamicrorrelatos recogidos en La glorieta miniatura,  a través de los cuales el escritor construye una meticulosa poética sobre el género, definiendo muchos de sus rasgos fundacionales.

La glorieta de los fugitivos es el libro que aglutina casi la totalidad de sus textos dedicados al microrrelato; este volumen consta de tres partes: la primera compuesta por Días imaginarios, Cuentos del libro de la noche e Inéditos y dispersos; la segunda, La glorieta miniatura (veinticinco pasos) y, por último, un apéndice con Diez cuentines congresistas. Son precisamente estas dos últimas secciones las que nos interesan: la primera por constituir en sí misma un manifiesto teórico del microrrelato; y la segunda por presentar, aludiendo a los especialistas a quienes van dirigidos, las controversias que este género es capaz de despertar.
“Fitters”, “paleo” y “veggies”: nuevas formas de clasificar lo comestible
Authors: Hijós Nemesia
Published: February 2018

Las dietas son combinaciones de hábitos y estilos de vida, ligados a prácticas de consumo y condiciones socioeconómicas de los individuos, sus elecciones y gustos. Las sociedades humanas usan la dieta no sólo para mantener la vida biológica, sino también para expresar relaciones sociales y hacer declaraciones colmadas de simbolismo cultural. Las elecciones que hacen las personas en cuanto a su alimentación nos sirven para pensar relaciones, correspondencias o contradicciones con clases sociales, taxonomías y sistemas clasificatorios de la sociedad contemporánea, que superan los particularismos locales y abarcan tendencias globales. Para este trabajo he decidido trabajar con tres grupos sociales que adoptan y siguen diferentes hábitos alimentarios, asociados a sus distintas cosmovisiones del mundo, para apreciar sus sistemas de clasificación social y moralidad: las personas que siguen una dieta fitness, quienes adoptan la dieta paleolítica y los que deciden ser vegetarianos. El objetivo es reflexionar sobre los modos en que tres grupos –“fitters”, “paleo” y “veggies”– perciben lo comestible, cómo ordenan los alimentos como tales, por qué existen “limitaciones” para cada grupo y las relaciones que pueden establecerse con el consumo, la clase social, ciertas prácticas deportivas, y las clasificaciones y elecciones alimentarias que realizan los sujetos.

Published: February 2018

Objetivo: Comparar o incentivo dos componentes psicossociais nas diferentes fases da trajetória esportiva em atletas de voleibol nas categorias de formação. Métodos: Aplicou-se um questionário específico baseado nos elementos dinâmicos da formação esportiva (Côté, 1999; Côté, Turnnidge, & Vierimaa, 2016) em 78 atletas do sexo masculino com média de idade de 19.24±0.9 anos de clubes de reconhecimento nacional brasileiro. Utilizou-se o teste qui-quadrado e a regressão logística multinomial para comparar o nível de incentivo dos componentes psicossociais à prática de voleibol e de outras modalidades em cada fase da trajetória esportiva, adotando nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Os componentes psicossociais incentivam não apenas à prática da modalidade alvo, mas também à prática de outras modalidades. Entretanto, o incentivo dos familiares (p≤0,001), amigos (p≤0,001) e treinadores (p≤0,001) à prática do voleibol aumentou no decorrer da trajetória esportiva, permanecendo estável o incentivo à prática das demais modalidades esportivas. Conclusão: Os componentes psicossociais exercem importante papel na trajetória esportiva de atletas de voleibol em clubes de reconhecimento nacional brasileiro. Ao agregarem reflexões sobre a importância dos componentes psicossociais na vida esportiva de um indivíduo, os achados fornecem pistas às federações, clubes e locais de iniciação esportiva para estruturação de programas de formação esportiva na modalidade.

Authors: Hiratzka Jennie L. , Licari Louis G. , Peters Lisa K.
Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVE To determine the incidence of hospital-acquired anemia among dogs and cats hospitalized at a private emergency and referral center and identify possible risk factors.

DESIGN Prospective, observational study.

ANIMALS 56 patients (46 dogs and 10 cats).

PROCEDURES Patients admitted from August 2014 through March 2015 and hospitalized for ≥ 48 hours were eligible for inclusion. Hospital-acquired anemia was defined as a PCV within reference limits on admission with development of anemia during hospitalization. Packed cell volume was measured once every 24 hours, and IV fluid volumes and blood volumes removed by means of phlebotomy were recorded.

RESULTS The incidence of hospital-acquired anemia for dogs and cats combined was 34% (19/56) by 24 hours, 43% (24/56) by 48 hours, and 48% (27/56) by 72 hours. The incidence of hospital-acquired anemia was 70% (7/10) in cats and 43% (20/46) in dogs. Patients that underwent surgery had an increased odds of developing hospital-acquired anemia, compared with patients that did not undergo surgery (OR, 9.79; 95% confidence interval, 1.92 to 50.0). Cumulative phlebotomy volumes > 3% of total estimated blood volume significantly increased the risk of developing hospital-acquired anemia.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Cumulative phlebotomy volumes > 3% of total blood volume and undergoing surgery significantly increased the risk that dogs and cats would develop hospital-acquired anemia. Further investigation is warranted for early identification of small animal patients at risk for development of hospital-acquired anemia and to inform effective treatment strategies.

Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVE To evaluate tramadol for treatment of signs of pain and impaired mobility in geriatric cats with osteoarthritis.

DESIGN Randomized controlled crossover trial.

ANIMALS 24 client-owned geriatric (≥ 10 years old) cats with osteoarthritis.

PROCEDURES Otherwise healthy cats with owner-identified mobility impairment and clinical and radiographic evidence of osteoarthritis involving at least 1 appendicular joint were enrolled in the study. Cats were treated with tramadol orally at dosages of 0 (placebo), 1, 2, and 4 mg/kg (0, 0.45, 0.9, and 1.8 mg/lb) twice a day for 5 days, with a 2-day (weekend) washout period between treatments. Mobility was assessed with a collar-mounted activity monitor system, and impairments in activity were assessed with a client-completed questionnaire.

RESULTS 17 cats completed the study; 7 cats were withdrawn. There was a significant increase in activity with the 2-mg/kg dosage of tramadol, compared with activity when cats received the placebo. Significantly more owners (11/18) considered their cats to have improved with the 2-mg/kg treatment, compared with all other dosages (6/19 to 8/21). Most owners (17/20 [85%]) considered their cat's global quality of life to have improved during the study. Adverse events, predominantly euphoria, dysphoria, sedation, decreased appetite, and diarrhea, were significantly more frequent with the 4-mg/kg (8/19) and 2-mg/kg (6/18) treatments but not with the 1-mg/kg (2/21) treatment, compared with frequency of adverse events with the placebo (0/21).

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results suggested a beneficial effect of twice-daily oral administration of tramadol at a dosage of 2 mg/kg in geriatric cats with osteoarthritis. Adverse events were dose dependent, and caution should be exercised in cats that have concurrent disease or are receiving other drugs that may produce adverse gastrointestinal effects.

Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVE To describe the radiographic outcome of root canal treatment (RCT) of canine teeth of cats.

DESIGN Retrospective case series.

ANIMALS 32 cats with 37 canine teeth with complicated crown fractures that underwent RCT.

PROCEDURES Medical record databases of 5 referral veterinary hospitals were searched to identify cats that underwent RCT between 1998 and 2016. Only cats that had at least 1 follow-up examination during which radiographs were obtained of the treated canine tooth or teeth were included in the study. Dental radiographs obtained before and immediately after RCT and during all follow-up examinations were reviewed. Treatment was considered successful if the periodontal ligament space was within reference limits and preoperative external inflammatory root resorption (EIRR), if present, had stabilized. Treatment was considered to have no evidence of failure if preoperative EIRR had stabilized and preexisting periapical lucency was stable or decreased in size but had not resolved. Treatment was considered to have failed if periapical lucency or EIRR developed subsequent to RCT or preexisting periapical lucency increased in size or preoperative EIRR progressed following RCT.

RESULTS Follow-up time after RCT ranged from 3 to 72 months. The RCT was successful for 18 (49%) of the 37 treated teeth, had no evidence of failure for 12 (32%), and failed for 7 (19%). Preexisting EIRR and patient age ≥ 5 years significantly increased the rate of RCT failure.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that RCT was a viable treatment option to salvage endodontically diseased canine teeth in cats.

Authors: Bua Anne-Sophie , Combes Anaïs , Maitre Pierre , Bongrand Yannick
Published: February 2018

CASE DESCRIPTION A 7-year-old 44-kg (97-lb) neutered male Great Pyrenees was referred for evaluation because of episodic dyspnea with cyanosis of 1 to 2 weeks' duration. Three days prior to evaluation, the clinical signs had worsened, including 1 episode of collapse.

CLINICAL FINDINGS Thoracic radiography and CT revealed a well-delineated soft tissue mass, located approximately 1.5 cm cranial to the carina and occupying almost 90% of the tracheal lumen. A CBC and serum biochemical analysis were performed, and all results were within reference limits.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Tracheoscopy confirmed the presence of a broad-based bilobate mass that was protruding from the right dorsal aspect of the trachea and occupied almost the entire tracheal lumen. The mass was successfully resected by endoscopic-guided electrocautery ablation. Findings of histologic evaluation were consistent with a diagnosis of liposarcoma. Immediately following the ablation procedure, the previously noted clinical signs of respiratory tract disease resolved. On follow-up examination 12 months later, no regrowth of the mass was evident on thoracic helical CT and tracheoscopy.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE Endoscopic-guided electrocautery ablation of tracheal liposarcoma was a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment for the dog of this report. The procedure was brief and appeared to be well tolerated, resulting in immediate improvement of clinical signs.

Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVE To assess the prevalence of medical errors (specifically, near misses [NMs] and adverse events [AEs]) and their personal and professional impact on veterinarians.

DESIGN Cross-sectional study.

SAMPLE Members of the Veterinary Information Network (n = 46,481).

PROCEDURES An electronic survey regarding veterinarians' experiences with NMs and AEs was distributed via email to an online veterinary community between September 24 and October 21, 2015. Responses were summarized and compared between genders by means of the χ2 test.

RESULTS 606 veterinarians completed the survey (1.3% response rate). Overall, 447 (73.8%) respondents reported involvement in ≥ 1 NM (n = 389 [64.2%]) or AE (179 [29.5%]). The NMs had a short-term (≤ 1 week) adverse impact on professional life for 68.0% (261/384) of respondents and longer-term negative impact for 36.4% (140/385). The impact on respondents' personal lives was similar (63.6% [245/385] and 33.5% [129/385], respectively). For AEs, these numbers were 84.1% (148/176), 56.2% (99/177), 77.8% (137/176), and 50.6% (89/175), respectively. Both NMs and AEs were more likely to negatively impact female veterinarians than male veterinarians.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE These findings suggested that many veterinarians experience emotional distress after a medical error. Support should be provided to mitigate this adverse impact on the wellbeing of veterinarians and, potentially, their future patients.

Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB), was used as surfactant to enhancethe removal of Congo- red (C-R) dye from its solution by employing a wood ofbuckthorn tree as a low cost and eco-friendly adsorbent. Different factors affectingthe sorption process like, time of adsorption, wood dose, initial (C-R) concentrationand hydrogen ion concentration have been studied for both adsorbent wood (W) andmodified wood (MW). The suitability of the two isotherm models Langmuir andfrundlich to the equilibrium results was mentioned for the adsorption of (C-R) onboth wood and modified wood. From the value of correlation - factor, frundlichmodel give a better fit than Langmuir isotherm model. Thermodynamic functionsuch as the changes in enthalpy ΔH°, entropy ΔSo and Gibes free energy ΔGo for theadsorption process was guessed. These values illustrate that physi-sorption takeplace .The negative values of ΔHo shows that the adsorption process accompanywith heat releasing with decreasing the randomness of the (solid-solution) interface.Furthermore the negative values of ΔG° indicated that adsorption of (C-R) dye ontothe wood and modified wood occurs spontaneously.

This paper includes studying the microfacies evalution of Mauddud Formaion infour wells(Rt-2, Rt-5, Rt17 and Rt-19). Seventy-seven(77) sampels were collectedof above mentioned wells. Based on fossil content of the samples under study, fourmain microfacies were identified: packstone , wakestone , grainstone and limemudstone microfacies ,which deposited in shallow open marine and restrictedmarine environments. Petrographic examination of thin section indicated thatdiagenesis vary in intensity from one site to another, such as dissolution,cementation, compaction, dolomitization and micritization, which led to theimprovement and deterioration of porosity. The dominant pore types are vuggy,interparticle and intercrystal.The lithology, mineralogy and the matrix weredetermined by using crossplot method, which showed that the predominantlithology of the formation is limestone with the presence of dolomite in very fewpercentages and the mineralogy is calcite. Based on the relationship betweenporosity and permeability the resevoir performance of the microfacies classifiedinto four types: bad, fair, good and very good. Based on petrophysical propertiesand core description of well study Mauddud Formation was divided into four rockunits A,B,C and D , in terms of reservoir, units A and C are considered good ,whileB and D are bad.
Efficient Plain Password Cryptanalysis Techniques
Authors: G. Mohammed Sajaa , H. Majeed Abdulrahman
Published: February 2018

In this research work, some low complexity and efficient cryptanalysis approaches are proposed to decrypt password (encryption keys). Passwords are still one of the most common means of securing computer systems. Most organizations rely on password authentication systems, and therefore, it is very important for them to enforce their users to have strong passwords. They usually ignore the importance of usability of the password for the users. The more complex they are the more they frustrate users and they end up with some coping strategies such as adding “123” at the end of their passwords or repeating a word to make their passwords longer, which reduces the security of the password, and more importantly there is no scientific basis for these password creation policies to make sure that passwords that are created based on these rules are resistance against real attacks. The current research work describes different password creation policies and password checkers that try to help users create strong passwords and addresses their issues. Metrics for password strength are explored in this research and efficient approaches to calculate these metrics for password distributions are introduced. Furthermore, efficient technique to estimate password strength based on its likelihood of being cracked by an attacker is described. In addition, a tool called PAM has been developed and explained in details in this paper to help users have strong passwords using these metrics; PAM is a password analyzer and modifier.

Authors: M.Mahdi Aseel , Loay E.George  , G. Mohammed Faisal
Published: February 2018

Many recent satellite image compression methods depends on removing the spectral and spatial redundancies within image only , such these methods known as intra-frame(image) coding such as predictive and transformed based techniques , but these contributions needs a hard work in order to improve the compression performance also most of them are applied on individual data. The other trend is to exploit the temporal redundancy between the successive satellite images captured for the same area from different views, different sensors, or at different times, which will be much correlated and removing this redundancy will improve the compression performance and this principle known as inter-frame(image) coding .In this paper, a latest powerful method for compressing sequences of satellite images using inter-frame coding concept with compression method (JPEG) has been presented to satisfy higher compression performance while keeping images quality as well as preservation of significant image details. The experimented results show that the proposed method outperformed many of lossy methods including JPEG.

In the first step N-(4-acetophenyl)succinamic acid was prepared via reaction of succinic anhydride with 4-aminoacetophenone. The prepared amic acid was dehydrated in the second step producing N-(4-acetophenyl)succinimide. The prepared succinimide represents a modified methyl ketone bearing succinimde cycle and ready for introducing in condensation reaction thus in the third step the prepared imide was introduced in acid-catalyzed condensation reaction with a variety of primary aromatic amines affording the new target Schiff bases. The results of antibacterial screening of the newly synthesized Schiff bases indicated that they possess high antibacterial activity.
The Bulk of Solar Energetic Particles (SEP) Acceleration as Seen From the Intensity-Time Profile
Authors: A. Mohammed Ahmed , A. Al-Sawad Amjad
Published: February 2018

In this work 27 events have been chosen for the period from (17 Feb 2000 to 10 Sep 2014) to analyze their intensity profile and find out what is the most effective reason behind the bulk of the accelerated SEPs as seen in the interval from the onset to the maximum intensity. It was found that the parameters of the associated eruptions (CME and solar flare) could play a major role in this acceleration. We considered some of these parameters such as: flare class related to soft X-ray flux, CME's speed and acceleration, site of the eruption (western, eastern) and particle transport in the IP medium. The shape of the profile showed a clear changing in ΔT1 (time from onset to maximum), as an inverse relation with the acceleration of coronal mass ejection (CME) and the class of the flare associated. While the value of the maximum intensity was found to have a direct proportional relation with the speed of CME and the class of the flare.

Detection of Pan Braf in Thyroid Tumors in Iraqi Patients
Authors: Jasim Mohamad Ban
Published: February 2018

The B-type Raf kinase (BRAF) is a member of RAS\RAF\MEK\ERK pathway and this pathway can lead to increased cellular growth, invasion and metastasis. The mutated BRAF protein activates MAPK signaling pathway, results in abnormal cellular growth, apoptosis resistance, tumor progression and metastasis. Pan-BRAF is one of available BRAF monoclonal antibodies and shared by both the wild and mutant BRAF.BRAF status is mostly determined by DNA sequencing methods. In this investigation we assessed the monoclonal Pan BRAF specific antibody that can identify wild and mutant type proteins together in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded thyroid tumor tissues by Immunohistochemistry (IHC). Archival thyroid samples from 43 iraqi patients were immunohistochemically tested with antibodies for BRAF. Out of 43 thyroid tissue cases, (23) were thyroid malignant,(12) benign, and (8) control cases(diagnosed as colloid goiter).The malignant tumors included Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma (PTC), Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma (FTC), Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC), Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma (ATC) and Hürthle cell cancer (HCC).Immunohistochemical staining for BRAF was performed for all specimens. Results of the study showed that Immunohistochemical expression of pan BRAF was significantly higher in malignant thyroid tumors as compared with adenomas and control cases (P<0.05). BRAF over-expression was detected in 5\12 of PTC, 3\5 MTC, 2\4 of FTCas well as all cases of HCC, ATC.Whereas it was detected in 4\12 of adenomas, and totally negative in control cases. No association was observed between BRAF and other clinicopathological traits. We conclude from this study that IHC using BRAF monoclonal antibody is asuccessful way for checking of BRAF status in different thyroid tumors. IHC may be the alternative to molecular biology for the routine detection of this marker in patients with thyroid tumors.

Aim: Restless legs syndrome is characterized by an abnormal sensation, a difficult-to-define type of dysesthesia in the extremities, especially in the legs. In our study, we aimed to determine the frequency of restless legs syndrome in patients with chronic epilepsy.Methods: A total of 86 epilepsy patients were included in the study. Epilepsy grading of the study patients was performed based on the International League Against Epilepsy 1981 classification. Demographic data of the patients were collected and Turkish version of the questionnaire consisting of 4 questions of diagnostic criteria issued in 2014 by International Restless Legs Syndrome Study Group (IRLSSG), in addition to the other forms, were completed through face-to-face interviews.Results: Restless leg syndrome prevalence among the patients included in the study was found to be 5.81% (5 patients out of 86). Mean score of IRLSSG evaluation scale was 17±6.5.Conclusion: The results of our study showed that the prevalence of restless legs syndrome is lower in patients with epilepsy, a common neurologic disorder, compared to the general population.

Flow Simulation Using Local Grid Refinements to Model Laminated Reservoirs
Authors: Correia Manuel Gomes , Maschio Célio , Schiozer Denis José
Published: February 2018

Super-giant carbonate fields, such as Ghawar, in Saudi Arabia, and Lula, at the Brazilian pre-salt, show highly heterogeneous behavior that is linked to high permeability intervals in thin layers. This article applies Local Grid Refinements (LGR) integrated with upscaling procedures to improve the representation of highly laminated reservoirs in flow simulation by preserving the static properties and dynamic trends from geological model. This work was developed in five main steps: (1) define a conventional coarse grid, (2) define LGR in the conventional coarse grid according to super-k and well locations, (3) apply an upscaling procedure for all scenarios, (4) define LGR directly in the simulation model, without integrate geological trends in LGR and (5) compare the dynamic response for all cases. To check results and compare upscaling matches, was used the benchmark model UNISIM-II-R, a refined model based on a combination of Brazilian Pre-salt and Ghawar field information. The main results show that the upscaling of geological models for coarse grid with LGR in highly permeable thin layers provides a close dynamic representation of geological characterization compared to conventional coarse grid and LGR only near-wells. Pseudo-relative permeability curves should be considered for (a) conventional coarse grid or (b) LGR scenarios under dual-medium flow simulations as the upscaling of discrete fracture networks and dual-medium flow models presents several limitations. The conventional approach of LGR directly in simulation model, presents worse results than LGR integrated with upscaling procedures as the extrapolation of dynamic properties to the coarse block mismatch the dynamic behavior from geological characterization. This work suggests further improvements for results for upscaling procedures that mask the flow behavior in highly laminated reservoirs.
Configuración integral de las políticas públicas con énfasis social desde la actuación del trabajo social (Setting public policies comprehensive social with emphasis from social work performance)
Authors: Mancera Agudelo Yury Tatiana
Published: February 2018

Citar políticas públicas, en noción de la necesidad social implica necesariamente activar la participación de trabajadores sociales y/o profesionales sociales en el cumplimiento de la pretensión del bienestar social.Bajo esta idea y desde el reconocimiento teórico y referencial de las masas sociales, culturales a nivel latinoamericano; la producción crítica-reflexiva en curso se focaliza la acción económica y productiva que aqueja a los diferentes grupos poblacionales; sobre el reconocimiento transversal del eje capitalista -monetario en las dinámicas políticas, familiares, y humanas en la visibilización de una realidad social que requiere de un capital humano integral, este contrapuesto desde una justificación productiva del "norte social". Destacándose la óptica real y suicida que el trabajador social enfrenta en pro del ideal de ser parte de una mejor calidad de vida y en sí mejor bienestar de la condición humana con y desde la aplicabilidad de políticas públicas y sociales

El vivir bien-buen vivir: una alternativa intercultural (Living Well, Living Well: An intercultural alternative)
Authors: Cruz Rodríguez Edwin
Published: February 2018

El Vivir  Bien-Buen Vivir plantea la necesidad de un cambio drástico en el modo de vida dominante, que permita construir relaciones de convivencia y complementariedad entre los seres humanos y entre ellos y la naturaleza, como una alternativa frente a la actual crisis ambiental. Mientras el discurso del desarrollo, fundado en la idea de crecimiento económico, producción y consumo ilimitados, tiene un carácter colonial y antropocéntrico, el Vivir Bien-Buen Vivir replantea la concepción de vida buena basada en esos supuestos y apuesta por un modo de vida intercultural que rompe con la concepción dualista y antropocéntrica de la naturaleza. Para desarrollar este argumento, en primer lugar, se reconstruyen las concepciones del desarrollo y del VBBY. En la segunda parte se estudia el carácter intercultural del VBBV. y sus implicaciones sobre la relación entre seres humanos y naturaleza.
