Authors: Kalinina Svetlana N , Fesenko Vladimir N , Nikolskii Anton V , Burlaka Oleg O , Marchenko Natalia V
Published: April 2018

There were 27 men under observation who got conservative treatment for Peyronie's disease. The criteria for inclusion in the study were the maximum size of the plaque of the penis up to 1.5 cm and the angle of curvature of the penis is less than 45 degrees. Before treatment, after 6 and 12 months, patients underwent ultrasonic dopplerography of the penis, the velocity of blood flow in the cavernous and dorsal arteries and the size of the plaque were determined. All observed patients were prescribed combined therapy, such as symptomatic, immunological and physiotherapeutic treatment. In this case, the patients of the 1st group (n = 15) additionally got longidase treatment (intramuscularly for 3000 IU every 3 days, for a course of 10 injections with concurrent administration of rectal suppositories with longidase at the same dose for a course of 10 suppositories). Locally, these patients were assigned phonophoresis with lengidase on the plaque area (10 sessions). The remaining 12 patients (2nd group) didn’t got longidase treament. Six months after the start of treatment the absence of plaques was recorded in 8 (53.3%) patients in the 1st group and 4 (33.3%) in the 2nd group of patients and in 12 months in 11 (73.3%) and 6 (41.6%) patients. Thus, conservative therapy in Peyronie's disease is effective in patients in the early stages of the disease with moderate deviation of the penis and plaques up to 1.5 cm. The inclusion of longidase in the complex therapy increases the effectiveness of the treatment. (For citation: Kalinina SN, Fesenko VN, Nikolskii AV, et al.

European urban freight transport policies and research funding: are priorities and H2020 calls aligned?
Authors: Lozzi Giacomo , Gatta Valerio , Marcucci Edoardo
Published: April 2018

The European Commission (EC) has recently developed a growing awareness and interest with respect to the challenges urban freight transport (UFT) poses. Consequently, the EC has started defining specific policies and promoted dedicated tools to address them. Transport is a shared responsibility between the EU and the Member States, where the subsidiarity principle applies. Accordingly, the EC provides European local authorities with support in the different areas, including research and innovation funding. This paper aims to assess the linkage and consistency between EC policy priorities for UFT and the corresponding calls of the new Horizon 2020 (H2020) Research Programme, created by the EC in order to foster research and innovation. The paper identifies and extrapolates in a comparable format 10 UFT priority solutions, and consequently estimates their degree of correspondence with the H2020 Work Programmes (WPs) on the basis of the weight in monetary terms resulting from the research funds allocated to each of them. Findings show that, generally, the EC addresses UFT through a systematic and coherent approach. Moreover, all the identified solutions are covered by at least one H2020 call, although the extent of the coverage is heterogeneous.

Authors: . Bipin Kumar , Mondal D B , Jithin M V
Published: April 2018

The present study has been carried out on the calves less than one month of age suffering from clinical Theileriosis. All the cases came to Referral veterinary polyclinic, IVRI, Izatnagar, Bareilly for treatment during 2015. Erythrocytic LPO in clinically affected calves were significantly (P less than0.05) higher than healthy animals. GSH, and SOD values in ailing calves were significantly (P less than 0.05) lower than healthy control and postreated calves. Catalase was also higher in infected calves but non significant. The hemoglobin concentration was significantly (P less than 0.05) lower in ailing animals. The erythrocyte fragility at 0.9%, 0.8% and 0.6% NaCl concentration was significantly (P less than 0.05) higher than the control group. However, there were less erythrocytic fragility observed in NaCl 0.4% and 0.2% concentration in infected animals. In conclusion, anemia occurs in Theileria annulata infection is due to corpuscular oxidative damage as revealed from lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status which contribute to RBC fragility and consequent anemia.

This study investigates the effects of hydrolyzed yeast mixture (HYM) and an organic acid blend (OAB) supplementation individually and in combination on growth performance and tibia bone characteristics of broilers. A total number of 128 one day- old chicks were divided into four different groups with each group having 4 replicates in a trial of 35 days. The first group was kept as control whereas, the second and third groups were given HYM and OAB respectively. The fourth group (HYM+OAB) was given combination of HYM and OAB. At the end of trial, two birds from each replicate were slaughtered for analysis. Results revealed that feed conversion ratio and live body weight were significantly higher in HYM+OAB compared to other groups. Tibial bone analysis revealed that robusticity and tibiotarsal indices were significantly better for HYM+OAB. It is concluded that compared to individual, combined supplementation of HYM and OAB is more beneficial in broilers.

Authors: Bogomolov D. V. , Zbrueva Yu. V. , Semenov G. G. , Denisova O. P.
Published: April 2018

Methods of immunohistochemistry are of great importance in morphology, namely in forensic histology. 19 observations of statutory mechanical asphyxia were studied in the age group from 28 to 48 years. For comparison, 3 observations of mechanical asphyxia as a result of drowning in the age group from 35 to 50 years have been studied. The control group consisted of 11 observations of the acute form of coronary heart disease, 6 cases of death from traumatic shock. In the process of research, fibrinogen can be evaluated as the substance of early response to damage and the marker of intactness of strangulation mechanical asphyxia. This algorithm can be proposed for the diagnosis of strangulation asphyxia.

A interdisciplinaridade como instrumento de ação comunicativa
Authors: Silva Marco Donizete Paulino da , Gracioso Luciana de Souza
Published: April 2018

Parte-se da percepção da necessidade de uma consideração holística dos elementos epistemológicos envolvidos na construção do conhecimento no tempo contemporâneo, tendo como elementos-chave, tanto a exigência de uma conscientização cidadã do indivíduo quanto o uso de um instrumento que potencialize essa conscientização, ainda que se reconheça o caráter utópico desse projeto. O conceito de interdisciplinaridade (e seus múltiplos sentidos) foi entendido como recurso de aplicação recorrente no desenvolvimento e ampliação do conhecimento humano e científico. Da articulação dessas premissas, propôs-se a consideração do termo interdisciplinaridade como um instrumento-tecnologia de ação comunicativa, capaz de intermediar o mundo da vida e os sistemas sócio-institucionais, promovendo o encontro (ou resultando do encontro) de intersubjetividades de sujeitos atuantes nesses dois espaços. Objetivando-se verificar a pertinência dessa proposição, aplicou-se a análise hermenêutico-dialética sobre textos nacionais e internacionais que abordam o conceito de interdisciplinaridade na perspectiva de vários teóricos do campo da Filosofia e da Sociologia. As argumentações em torno desse tema se deram por meio dos seguintes conceitos-base, nas seguintes filiações: Ação Comunicativa, Racionalidade, e Pretensões de Validez, por Jürgen Habermas; e, de Interdisciplinaridade, em Leo Apostel et al. – com considerações de Japiassu e Alvarenga et al. Concluiu-se que o ambiente da esfera pública é, potencialmente, um espaço de construção interdisciplinar do conhecimento e que sua natureza conscientizadora poderia beneficiar a promoção mais abrangente da interdisciplinaridade em espaços diferenciados.

Published: April 2018

Reflete sobre os vestígios memoriais colecionados por uma cidade, Porto Alegre (Brasil), a vida social dos objetos inseridos nessa coleção, no sentido não só de sua patrimonialização, mas de sua dinâmica de memoração, bem como da visibilidade desse conjunto de objetos que estão em constante movimento de criação e transformação. O corpus de análise considera dois objetos digitais: o aplicativo Porto Alegre Guide, como um suporte à consolidação ou à criação de memórias sobre a cidade de Porto Alegre e o site da Prefeitura Municipal, que reúne equipamentos e espaços valorizados como patrimônios da cidade. Objetiva, a partir dessa análise, compreender a relação entre memória, informação e patrimônio cultural. Conclui que as múltiplas identidades e polifonias existentes na cidade de Porto Alegre e que têm potencialidade para emergirem como patrimônio cultural não são divulgadas pela Prefeitura Municipal, nem pelo aplicativo Porto Alegre Guide.

A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa documental e etnográfica.
Ultrasound-guided removal of cut intravenous cannula
Authors: YALÇIN Mihriban , GÖDEKMERDAN KATIRCIOĞLU Eda , KUTLU Yavuz
Published: April 2018

The most common invasive intravascular procedure is the placement of the intravenous cannula. The use of peripheral venous cannulas may lead to a number of complications that may increase hospital stay, increase the cost of treatment, and decrease patient comfort. Spontaneous fracture and migration of intravenous cannula is a known complication and should be removed immediately. We report a case of a peripheral venous catheter (PVC) piece in the left cephalic vein treated successfully by a surgical approach. Our patient had to undergo intravenous cannulation for treatment of pneumonia and the cannula was cut on the second day by mistake during removal. The cut catheter piece was removed operatively. Inserting and removing a PVC is not always a simple and harmless procedure.

Published: April 2018

O presente texto está inserido em uma pesquisa de mestrado em andamento, no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Antropologia da UFGD. Volta-se a uma pesquisa bibliográfica e contempla elementos preliminares de um primeiro trabalho de campo realizado na aldeia Pakurity. O objetivo é trazer à discussão o direito à terra em sua forma legal e de identificar a atual situação fundiária da aldeia, bem como descrever como se dá o processo de demarcação das terras e sinalizar os limites do território tradicionalmente ocupado pelos indígenas da tekoha Pakurity. O aporte teórico-metodológico é a pesquisa bibliográfica e o trabalho de campo, utilizado na própria Antropologia, e a partir disto, ainda contamos com a observação participante, diário de campo e outras formas de registros. Os autores que dão sustentação teórica são: Brand (1993; 1997), Cavalcante (2013), Crespe (2009), Pereira (2002; 2007; 2010), Eloy Amado (2015) e Cunha (1992). Os povos indígenas e a permanência em sua terra tradicional configuram-se como um direito originário e, para tanto, esta é submetida aos procedimentos administrativos de demarcação de terras indígenas estabelecidos no Decreto n. 1775/96. Trazer a forma como se dá todo esse processo é confirmar que a demarcação das terras indígenas é um ato que, de forma indireta, beneficia a sociedade de forma geral, pois garante a construção de uma sociedade pluriétnica e multicultural.

Authors: Cheng Tina L. , Mistry Kamila B. , Wang Guoying , Zuckerman Barry , Wang Xiaobin
Published: April 2018

Objectives. To examine maternal folic acid supplementation and plasma folate concentrations in the Boston Birth Cohort, a predominantly urban, low-income, minority population in Boston, Massachusetts.

Methods. This report includes 7612 mothers with singleton live births (3829 Black, 2023 Hispanic, 865 White, and 895 others) enrolled in the Boston Birth Cohort at the Boston Medical Center, during 1999 to 2014. Folic acid supplementation during preconception and each trimester was obtained via interview questionnaire. In a subset (n = 2598), maternal plasma folate concentrations were measured in blood samples drawn within a few days of delivery.

Results. The percentage of mothers taking folic acid supplementation almost daily during preconception and the first, second, and third trimesters were 4.3%, 55.9%, 59.4%, and 58.0%, respectively. Most striking, we observed a wide range of maternal plasma folate concentrations, with approximately 11% insufficient (< 13.4 nmol/L) and 23% elevated (> 45.3 nmol/L).

Conclusions. Findings indicate that fewer than 5% of mothers in the Boston Birth Cohort started folic acid supplements before pregnancy, and approximately one third of mothers had either too low or too high plasma folate levels, which may have important health consequences on both the mother and the child.

Authors: Graves Janessa M. , Mackelprang Jessica L. , Van Natta Sara E. , Holliday Carrie
Published: April 2018

Objectives. To identify and compare state policies for suicide prevention training among health care professionals across the United States and benchmark state plan updates against national recommendations set by the surgeon general and the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention in 2012.

Methods. We searched state legislation databases to identify policies, which we described and characterized by date of adoption, target audience, and duration and frequency of the training. We used descriptive statistics to summarize state-by-state variation in suicide education policies.

Results. In the United States, as of October 9, 2017, 10 (20%) states had passed legislation mandating health care professionals complete suicide prevention training, and 7 (14%) had policies encouraging training. The content and scope of policies varied substantially. Most states (n = 43) had a state suicide prevention plan that had been revised since 2012, but 7 lacked an updated plan.

Conclusions. Considerable variation in suicide prevention training for health care professionals exists across the United States. There is a need for consistent polices in suicide prevention training across the nation to better equip health care providers to address the needs of patients who may be at risk for suicide.
Early‐Season Wind Erosion Influenced by Soil‐Incorporated Green Manure in the Pacific Northwest
Authors: Sharratt B. S. , McGuire A. , Horneck D.
Published: April 2018

Core Ideas

Irrigated soils in the Pacific Northwest are highly susceptible to wind erosion.

Early‐season wind erosion potential was assessed from soil‐incorporated green manure and no green manure treatments.

Soil‐incorporated green manure did not influence wind erosion.

Management strategies are sought to minimize wind erosion of irrigated agricultural soils along the Columbia River of the Inland Pacific Northwest (PNW), particularly during the early season (March–April) when high winds coincide with sowing of vegetable crops. Early‐season wind erosion potential from soil‐incorporated green manure (i.e., incorporation of a cover crop of mustard into the soil in autumn) and no green manure treatments was assessed at two locations over 2 yr using a portable wind tunnel. Incorporation of green manure the preceding autumn did not influence wind erosion or soil erodible characteristics the following spring. Soil‐incorporated green manure, however, did influence early‐season crop residue characteristics. Although differences were significant, low residue cover and stem silhouette area suggested relatively small differences in empirical estimates of windblown soil loss between manure treatments. Soil crusting resulting from irrigation and/or rainfall prior to assessing wind erosion may have masked any influence of green manure on wind erosion. Due to the high erosion rates measured from the crusted soils, multiple years of green manure or minimum or reduced tillage may be required to promote aggregation and/or enhance residue cover and thereby reduce wind erosion of irrigated soils.
Hydraulic optimization of corrugated stilling basin with adverse slope
Authors: Honar Tooraj , Khoramshokooh Nafiseh , Nikoo Mohammad Reza
Published: April 2018

In this paper, perhaps for the first time, a data-driven simulation–optimization model is developed based on experimental results to find the effects of state and decision variables on the optimum characteristics of a stilling basin with adverse slope and corrugated bed. The optimal design parameters of the stilling basin are investigated to minimize the length of the hydraulic jump and ratio of the sequent depths of the jump while the relative amount of energy loss is maximized. In order to model the relationship between design variables of the bed, the experimental results are converted to a data-driven simulation model on the basis of a multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network. Then, the validated MLP model is used in a genetic algorithm optimization model in order to determine the optimum characteristics of the bed under the hydraulic jump considering the interaction between the bed design variables and the hydraulic parameters of the flow. Results indicate that the optimum values of bed slope and the diameter of the corrugated roughness (2r) can be considered as −0.02 and 20 millimetres, respectively.
Current Trends in Cancer Biomarker Discovery Using Urinary Metabolomics: Achievements and New Challenges
Authors: Burton Casey , Ma Yinfa
Published: April 2018

Background:

The development of effective screening methods for early cancer detection is one of the foremost challenges facing modern cancer research. Urinary metabolomics has recently emerged as a potentially transformative approach to cancer biomarker discovery owing to its noninvasive sampling characteristics and robust analytical feasibility.

Objective:

To provide an overview of new developments in urinary metabolomics, cover the most promising aspects of hyphenated techniques in untargeted and targeted metabolomics, and to discuss technical and clinical limitations in addition to the emerging challenges in the field of urinary metabolomics and its application to cancer biomarker discovery.

Methods:

A systematic review of research conducted in the past five years on the application of urinary metabolomics to cancer biomarker discovery was performed. Given the breadth of this topic, our review focused on the five most widely studied cancers employing urinary metabolomics approaches, including lung, breast, bladder, prostate, and ovarian cancers.

Results:

As an extension of conventional metabolomics, urinary metabolomics has benefitted from recent technological developments in nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, gas and liquid chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis that have improved urine metabolome coverage and analytical reproducibility. Extensive metabolic profiling in urine has revealed a significant number of altered metabolic pathways and putative biomarkers, including pteridines, modified nucleosides, and acylcarnitines, that have been associated with cancer development and progression.

Conclusion:

Urinary metabolomics presents a transformative new approach toward cancer biomarker discovery with high translational capacity to early cancer screening.
Fruitless Wolfberry-Sprout Extract Rescued Cognitive Deficits and Attenuated Neuropathology in Alzheimer’s Disease Transgenic Mice
Authors: Liu Shu-Ying , Lu Shuai , Yu Xiao-Lin , Yang Shi-Gao , Liu Wen , Liu Xiang-Meng , Wang Shao-Wei , Zhu Jie , Ji Mei , Liu Dong-Qun , Zhang Zi-Ping , Liu Rui-tian
Published: April 2018

Background:

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease featured by memory
loss, neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. Overproduction or insufficient clearance of Aβ leads to its
pathological aggregation and deposition, which is considered the predominant neuropathological hallmark
of AD. Therefore, reducing Aβ levels and inhibiting Aβ-induced neurotoxicity are feasible therapeutic
strategies for AD treatment. Wolfberry has been traditionally used as a natural antioxidant and
anti-aging product. However, whether wolfberry species has therapeutic potential on AD remains unknown.

Method:

The effects of fruitless wolfberry-sprout extract (FWE) on Aβ fibrillation and fibril disaggregation
was measured by thioflavin T fluorescence and transmission electron microscope imaging; Aβ oligomer
level was determined by dot-blot; Cell viability and apoptosis was assessed by MTT and TUNEL
assay. The levels of Aβ40/42, oxidative stress biomarkers and inflammatory cytokines were detected by
corresponding kits. 8-month-old male APP/PS1 mice and their age-matched WT littermates were treated
with FWE or vehicle by oral administration (gavage) once a day for 4 weeks. Then the cognitive performance
was determined using object recognition test and Y-maze test. The Aβ burden and gliosis was
evaluated by immunostaining and immunoblotting, respectively.

Results:

FWE significantly inhibited Aβ fibrillation and disaggregated the formed Aβ fibrils, lowered
Aβ oligomer level and Aβ-induced neuro-cytotoxicity, and attenuated oxidative stress in vitro. Oral administration
of FWE remarkably improved cognitive function, reduced Aβ burden, decreased gliosis and
inflammatory cytokines release, and ameliorated oxidative stress in the brains of APP/PS1 mice.

Conclusion:

These findings indicate that FWE is a promising natural agent for AD treatment.

Opioid Analgesics and Adverse Outcomes among Hemodialysis Patients
Authors: Ishida Julie H. , McCulloch Charles E. , Steinman Michael A. , Grimes Barbara A. , Johansen Kirsten L.
Published: April 2018

Background and objectives

Patients on hemodialysis frequently experience pain and may be particularly vulnerable to opioid-related complications. However, data evaluating the risks of opioid use in patients on hemodialysis are limited.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

Using the US Renal Data System, we conducted a cohort study evaluating the association between opioid use (modeled as a time-varying exposure and expressed in standardized oral morphine equivalents) and time to first emergency room visit or hospitalization for altered mental status, fall, and fracture among 140,899 Medicare-covered adults receiving hemodialysis in 2011. We evaluated risk according to average daily total opioid dose (>60 mg, ≤60 mg, and per 60-mg dose increment) and specific agents (per 60-mg dose increment).

Results

The median age was 61 years old, 52% were men, and 50% were white. Sixty-four percent received opioids, and 17% had an episode of altered mental status (15,658 events), fall (7646 events), or fracture (4151 events) in 2011. Opioid use was associated with risk for all outcomes in a dose-dependent manner: altered mental status (lower dose: hazard ratio, 1.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.23 to 1.34; higher dose: hazard ratio, 1.67; 95% confidence interval, 1.56 to 1.78; hazard ratio, 1.29 per 60 mg; 95% confidence interval, 1.26 to 1.33), fall (lower dose: hazard ratio, 1.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.21 to 1.36; higher dose: hazard ratio, 1.45; 95% confidence interval, 1.31 to 1.61; hazard ratio, 1.04 per 60 mg; 95% confidence interval, 1.03 to 1.05), and fracture (lower dose: hazard ratio, 1.44; 95% confidence interval, 1.33 to 1.56; higher dose: hazard ratio, 1.65; 95% confidence interval, 1.44 to 1.89; hazard ratio, 1.04 per 60 mg; 95% confidence interval, 1.04 to 1.05). All agents were associated with a significantly higher hazard of altered mental status, and several agents were associated with a significantly higher hazard of fall and fracture.

Conclusions

Opioids were associated with adverse outcomes in patients on hemodialysis, and this risk was present even at lower dosing and for agents that guidelines have recommended for use.

Background and objectives

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is the most common inheritable kidney disease, frequently thought to become symptomatic in adulthood. However, patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease may develop signs or symptoms during childhood, in particular hypertension. Although ambulatory BP monitoring is the preferred method to diagnose hypertension in pediatrics, data in children with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease are limited.

Design, setting, participants, & measurements

Our retrospective multicenter study was conducted to collect ambulatory BP monitoring recordings from patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease age <18 years old. Basic anthropometric parameters as well as data on kidney function, BP treatment, and kidney ultrasound were also collected.

Results

Data from 310 children with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease with a mean age of 11.5±4.1 years old were collected at 22 European centers. At the time when ambulatory BP monitoring was performed, 95% of children had normal kidney function. Reference data for ambulatory BP monitoring were available for 292 patients. The prevalence rates of children with hypertension and/or those who were treated with antihypertensive drugs were 31%, 42%, and 35% during daytime, nighttime, or the entire 24-hour cycle, respectively. In addition, 52% of participants lacked a physiologic nocturnal BP dipping, and 18% had isolated nocturnal hypertension. Logistic regression analysis showed a significant association between a categorical cyst score that was calculated on the basis of the number of cysts >1 cm per kidney and daytime hypertension (odds ratio, 1.70; 95% confidence interval, 1.21 to 2.4; P=0.002), nighttime hypertension (odds ratio, 1.31; 95% confidence interval, 1.05 to 1.63; P=0.02), or 24-hour hypertension (odds ratio, 1.39; 95% confidence interval, 1.08 to 1.81; P=0.01). Kidney length, expressed as SD score, was also significantly associated with nighttime hypertension (odds ratio, 1.23; 95% confidence interval, 1.06 to 1.42; P=0.10).

Conclusions

These data indicate high prevalence of hypertension in children with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease starting at young ages.

Después de las elecciones de 2006
Authors: Rodríguez Araujo Octavio
Published: April 2018

Antes y después de las elecciones federales de 2006 en México se presentaron argumentos y evidencias de irregularidades cometidas por el gobierno de Fox, por los empresarios, por los medios principales de comunicación, por las autoridades del IFE y por el Tribunal Electoral. Nada sirvió. Fue impuesto Felipe Calderón como presidente de México. Panistas, priístas, neozapatistas y no pocos perredistas, con sus aliados respectivos, militaron en contra del principal opositor: Andrés Manuel López Obrador, e indirectamente (y a veces de manera directa) favorecieron no sólo al candidato del PAN sino al proceso en su conjunto, plagado de suficientes anomalías y fraudes como para mantener, a la fecha, dudas fundadas sobre sus resultados.
La diplomacia pública: los medios informativos como instrumento de política exterior
Authors: Nieto Alfonso , Peña María
Published: April 2018

El quehacer diplomático se realiza crecientemente por canales no convencionales como la Diplomacia Pública (DP), que consiste en la utilización de los medios de comunicación masiva y la cultura, para facilitar la instrumentación de la política exterior y mejorar su imagen internacional. La DP busca influir favorablemente en la opinión pública internacional. En este artículo se analiza la interrelación entre la política exterior y los medios informativos, se discuten los límites entre la información pública y la privada y se proponen acciones orientadas a que los países hispanohablantes institucionalicen y profesionalicen las labores de DP.
Reflexiones en torno a la sofística
Authors: Ayala Blanco Fernando
Published: April 2018

El presente artículo hace un estudio sobre la sofística, que fue más que una escuela filosófica; para el autor representó un impulso intelectual y un movimiento de renovación pedagógica. Para su consideración evalúa una serie de fuentes que ayudan a la comprensión de una de las escuelas más trascendentales en la filosofía política. El autor demuestra en este trabajo que la sofística implica más que la retórica por la que es conocida; esta escuela tuvo mayores implicaciones de las que se saben y el autor hace mención de algunas de ellas.
La disciplina de la ciencia política
Authors: Muñoz Patraca Víctor Manuel
Published: April 2018

En el presente artículo el autor hace un estudio sobre el origen y la naturaleza de la Ciencia Política, comprendida como una disciplina de las Ciencias Sociales que se encuentra en constante cambio por la diversidad de enfoques que ofrece sobre la realidad de la convivencia humana. Para el autor, el carácter multidisciplinario de la Ciencia Política es uno de los elementos más enriquecedores de su labor analítica debido a que de él se desprenden una gran variedad de análisis, estudios e interpretaciones sobre un fenómeno determinado. A lo largo del artículo se ofrecen varias reflexiones y consideraciones que sirven como elementos de orientación para conocer una perspectiva teórica del conocimiento social.
Los partidos políticos y las elecciones en México: del partido hegemónico a los gobiernos divididos
Authors: García Reyes Christian Uziel
Published: April 2018

Para modificar el mapa de la representación política en México, que respondía a un esquema de corte autoritario y de partido hegemónico, fueron necesarias una serie de reformas electorales que edificaron un sistema de partidos competitivo y un sistema electoral confiable. Tomando como eje la evolución reciente del sistema electoral y del sistema de partidos, este artículo pretende responder cómo y qué fue lo que hizo posible el cambio de un régimen autoritario a uno democrático.
México, democratización de espuma: sin participación ni representación
Authors: Villa Aguilera Manuel
Published: April 2018

En México se logró la liberalización política, pero sólo se avanzó en la fase primera de la transición, la alternan ia en el 2000. Las reformas desde 1997 han tenido poco éxito, propiciando nuevas distorsiones. El artículo propone que el problema no está en sólo el ámbito institucional, éste sólo lo reproduce, lo que falta es plantear adecuadamente el modelo para construir la representación y su soporte, nuevas formas de organización y participación ciudadana.
