O Poeta Conta e Canta a Cidade Moderna
Authors: Rosa da Silva Edson
Published: February 2018

Resumo: A metrópole moderna implica um outro modo de conceber a poesia, e dessa crise do lugar do poema e do conceito de beleza Baudelaire parece ser digno representante. A coletânea As Flores do mal aponta desde o título para um duplo direcionamento, mantendo uma tensão constante entre o alto e o baixo, o belo e o feio, o sagrado e o profano – o spleen e o ideal. Exercitando essa convivência poética dos contrários, o poeta-flâneur, imerso na multidão, dela extrai os mais fascinantes “quadros parisienses”. Como numa encenação cria personagens que são atores na cidade, e faz da poesia um modo de leitura da história. Palavras-chave: Baudelaire, poesia, cidade, modernidade, spleen/ideal, históriaRésumé: La métropole moderne implique un autre mode de concevoir la poésie, et de cette crise du rôle du poème et du concept même de beauté Baudelaire semble être l’un des plus dignes représentants. Le recueil des Fleurs du mal souligne, depuis son titre, une double direction qui maintient toujours la tension entre le haut et le bas, le beau et le laid, le sacré et le profane – le spleen et l’idéal. Jouant sur cette cohabitation poétique des contraires, le poète-flâneur, immergé dans la foule, est capable d’en extraire les « tableaux parisiens » les plus fascinants. Comme s’il s’agissait d’une mise en scène, il crée des personnages qui deviennent des acteurs dans la ville, en faisant par là de sa poésie un mode de lecture de l’histoire.

Authors: Terenciano Fidel
Published: February 2018

O estudo apresenta como objetivo de investigação compreender a estrutura do sistema partidário e a efetividade da competição política no Brasil e em Moçambique, evidenciando os contornos e o funcionamento dos partidos políticos nos dois países. Teoricamente, existem estudos (Duverger 1961; Inglehart 1971; Sartori 1982; Webb 2000; Dalton e Wattenberg 2000) que ilustram algumas das abordagens desenvolvidas neste estudo. Metodologicamente, trata-se de um trabalho exploratório e descritivo. Foi considerada uma base de dados sobre os processos políticos em perspectiva comparativa, combinados com medidas qualitativas e quantitativas de produtividade. Os resultados indicam que Moçambique apresenta um sistema partidário de dois partidos e que o Brasil apresenta um sistema multipartidário e altamente fragmentado. Em termos de estrutura do sistema partidário, Moçambique detém um sistema partidário quase fechado e, no caso do Brasil, a estrutura do sistema partidário é aberta.
Associations of polymorphisms in the prolactin receptor gene with growth trait in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica)
Authors: Maleki Oreynab , Hashemi Ali , Zarringhabaie Ghorban , Farhadian Mohammad
Published: February 2018

Prolactin receptor (PRLR), as an important regulatory gene about growth and
differentiation, might be a condition gene for reproductive traits. The
prolactin receptor is a specific receptor for prolactin (PRL), which is an
anterior pituitary peptide hormone involved in various physiological
activities and is essential for reproductive improvement. In chickens, the
PRLR gene is on the Z chromosome. In the present study, the polymorphism of
exon 2 of PRLR gene in Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) was
investigated. Blood samples of 180 Japanese Quail were collected randomly.
DNA was extracted from blood samples and amplified. Polymerase chain
reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) analysis of the
exon 2 of PRLR gene. PCR-SSCP analysis of the exon 2 region revealed two
banding patterns. Two different SSCP patterns, representing two different
genotypes, were identified. The frequencies of the observed genotypes were
0.939 and 0.061 for AA and BB. Allele frequencies were 0.939 and 0.061 for A
and B. Observed heterozygosity (Hobs) value was 0.0. The chi-square test
showed significant (P<0.05) deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for
this locus in studied population. The effect of these genotypes on weight
gain was investigated, and the BB genotype was found to be associated with
body weight at 46 days. This was the first study on polymorphism of PRLR gene
in Japanese quail.
Reaction of susceptible maize inbred lines to herbicides
Authors: Dragicevic Vesna , Simic Milena , Jovanovic-Radovanov Katarina , Brankov Milan , Srdic Jelena
Published: February 2018

Maize production is inconceivable without herbicide application, and
certainly depends on crop susceptibility. Some injuries could be induced by
herbicides, what could result in yield losses. This is especially prominent
in maize seed production, due to the lines susceptibility to various
stressful conditions, including herbicides. Crop response to herbicide
application could include whole range of different biochemical reactions such
as alterations in content of various metabolites and antioxidants. The
experiment was conducted to examine the response of three sensitive maize
lines (sugary, popcorn and white kernel maize) to herbicides from
sulfonylurea and triketone groups, during the period after herbicide
application, when visual injuries are the most obvious and in correlation
with grain yield. Variations in soluble proteins, phytic and inorganic
phosphorus content, as important metabolites, were followed. The variations
in soluble proteins and particularly phytic and inorganic phosphorus content
are linked to the expression of susceptibility to herbicides in examined
maize lines. Growing season had significant influence on susceptibility. In
2015, as unfavourable season, line ZPT165b expressed the highest
susceptibility, having the highest values of examined metabolites at the
beginning of experiment. All applied herbicides increased grain yield in
2014, but in 2015 nicosulfuron expressed the lowest selectivity, by
decreasing grain yield and soluble proteins up to the 21th day after
herbicide application, when compared to control.

In an effort to find breeding methods for improving drought stress tolerance
and grain yield, twelve photosynthetic efficiency parameters have been
measured on ten cultivars of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), along with
water use (WU), water use efficiency (WUE) and agronomic traits of grain
yield (GYP), biomass weight (BWP), harvest index (HI), yield stability index
(YSI) and stress tolerance index (STI) in the vegetative pot trial with
control (B1) and drought stress (B2) treatments. Drought stress induced in
three different stages of development has caused decrease in water use
efficiency based on biomass (WUEb) (B1: 2.94 g L-1; B2: 2.71 g L-1) and grain
yield (WUEg) (B1: 1.03 g L-1; B2: 0.89 g L-1), as well as GYP and BWP.
Dissipation energy flux per excited cross section (DI0/CS0) observed in the
drought stress treatment in the tillering stage of growth gave significant
negative correlation coefficient (P?0.05) with agronomic traits of tested
wheat cultivars (GYP:-0.75; WUEg and STI: -0.74; YSI: -0.67). Performance
index (PIABS) measured in the drought stress conditions in the flag leaf
stage was in significant positive correlation with GYP and WUEg (r=0.64).
Lower values of absorption flux per excited cross section (ABS/CS0), electron
transport per excited CS (ET0/CS0) and dissipation energy flux per excited CS
(DI0/CS0) and higher values of PIABS, measured on wheat genotypes (cultivars)
in the drought stress conditions of pot trial, could indicate higher
tolerance to drought stress conditions. Results of the studied photosynthetic
efficiency parameters of wheat cultivars were also the good predictor for
important agronomic traits, especially, when they were detected in the early
stage of growth.
Genetic diversity of farmer-preferred cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) landraces in Turkey and evaluation of their relationships based on agromorphological traits
Authors: Bozokalfa Mehmet , Kaygisiz Aşçioğul , Eşiyok Dursun
Published: February 2018

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is one of the important vegetable, grain,
and fodder legume species grown in the tropics and subtropics. Cowpea is
grown on small farms, and locally adapted landraces or populations are
cultivated, and genetic improvements are limited by the lack of knowledge of
genetic diversity of the indigenous and cultivated germplasm.
Characterization and classification of diversity of the germplasm is
valuable for both plant breeders and germplasm curators in the development
of conservation strategies and identification of plant genetic resources. In
the present study, 36 qualitative and quantitative agromorphological traits
were used to characterize and assess the genetic diversity of 32 farmer
preferred cowpea genotypes collected from diverse cultivated locations.
Genetic variation was highly significant, and phenotypic diversity was
observed for agromorphological traits. Agromorphological traits were
classified by principal components analysis (PCA) into 10 components, which
explained 81.18% of the total variation. PCA revealed that seed properties
such as weight, diameter, width, length, eye color and immature pod
pigmentation, leaf and pod color properties were the primary characteristics
to discriminate cowpea genotypes. The hierarchical analysis grouped the
genotypes into five clusters, and significant association was not apparent
between geographic origin and agromorphological traits. The promising
germplasm was identified to improve the landraces for fresh pod, grain, and
fodder.

Published: February 2018

The paper presents the results of the analysis of genetic variability of
eight populations of silver fir (Abies alba Mill.) in Serbia obtained using
SSR markers. The genomic DNA was isolated from tissue of needles of all eight
populations. Due to the costly and lengthy process a small number of the SSR
markers for Abies alba have been developed, so in this study were used the
microsatellite markers of related species. The obtained results indicate a
low level of the genetic variability between natural populations of silver
fir. The total number of alleles detected with nine SSR markers in eight
studied populations of silver fir is 28. The range of alleles varies from two
for NFF15 to six for SF78 with an average of 3.1 alleles per locus. The mean
value of genetic similarity between populations is 0.92. The smallest genetic
similarity between pairs of populations is 0.82 (Dubocica Bare and Stara
Planina; Dubocica Bare and Tara) and the greatest genetic similarity is 1
(Zlatar and Stara Planina, Zlatar and Tara, Stara Planina and Tara). A basic
insight into the level of genetic diversity of natural populations of silver
fir in Serbia, which are located in a relatively small area, has been given
using a set of SSR markers. The obtained results can be used in the future
strategy for the management and regeneration of silver fir forests.
Looking Back … And Looking Forward
Authors: Ravenscroft Sue
Published: February 2018

In this essay I reflect on my career in academic accounting and explore what has remained the same and what has changed over that time. I examine the people who enter academic accounting, the content of graduate studies, and the contents of the American Accounting Association's premier journal, all of which have changed. I consider how our research remains constrained by boundaries and some statistical approaches that we impose on it. I briefly discuss two significant changes facing students—the major impact of technology on their lives and the rapidly increasing cost of education. I note what I believe are some unsustainable features of our profession and end with a call to revisit our purpose—individually and as a profession.
A Framework for Conducting Numerical Experiments on Cost System Design
Authors: Anand Vic V. , Balakrishnan Ramji , Labro Eva
Published: February 2018

This paper aims to advance the use of numerical experiments in the study of cost system design. As with laboratory and field experiments, researchers must decide on the independent variables and their levels, the experimental design, and the dependent variables. Options for dependent and independent variables are ample, as are ways to model the relations among these variables. We provide a modular framework that provides structure to these variables, their definitions, and the modeling of connections among them. Further, we offer insights into the design and layout of output data files to facilitate data analysis. We also present tips on how to report the results from such numerical experiments effectively. Finally, we provide C# source code for many of these modules in an online appendix. We hope that the framework and guidance provided in this paper will promote further meaningful work in this important area of management accounting.

Optimal Risk Trade-Off in Relative Performance Evaluation
Authors: Wu Martin G. H.
Published: February 2018

In this study, I consider a company's optimal use of relative performance evaluation (RPE) in principal/agent relations to filter out common risk. I construct a risk-parity aggregate of the company's peer group to be the sum of the ratios of the common- and idiosyncratic-risk components of the group of peers' outputs, scaled by the variance of the common risk. I demonstrate that this aggregate embodies the peer group's informativeness about the common risk, so it captures precisely the group's innate capability to trade off optimally between the common- and idiosyncratic-risk components of those peers' outputs. The optimal use of RPE therefore entails a partial substitution of the common risk with the peers' idiosyncratic risks. Moreover, the risk-parity aggregate enables us to identify a boundary condition, which helps us rule out ineffective uses of RPE that completely eliminate the common risk, thereby improving the statistical power of a strong-form RPE test.

Effect of A1C and Glucose on Postoperative Mortality in Noncardiac and Cardiac Surgeries
Authors: van den Boom Willem , Schroeder Rebecca A. , Manning Michael W. , Setji Tracy L. , Fiestan Gic-Owens , Dunson David B.
Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVE

Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) is used in assessment of patients for elective surgeries because hyperglycemia increases risk of adverse events. However, the interplay of A1C, glucose, and surgical outcomes remains unclarified, with often only two of these three factors considered simultaneously. We assessed the association of preoperative A1C with perioperative glucose control and their relationship with 30-day mortality.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Retrospective analysis on 431,480 surgeries within the Duke University Health System determined the association of preoperative A1C with perioperative glucose (averaged over the first 3 postoperative days) and 30-day mortality among 6,684 noncardiac and 6,393 cardiac surgeries with A1C and glucose measurements. A generalized additive model was used, enabling nonlinear relationships.

RESULTS

A1C and glucose were strongly associated. Glucose and mortality were positively associated for noncardiac cases: 1.0% mortality at mean glucose of 100 mg/dL and 1.6% at mean glucose of 200 mg/dL. For cardiac procedures, there was a striking U-shaped relationship between glucose and mortality, ranging from 4.5% at 100 mg/dL to a nadir of 1.5% at 140 mg/dL and rising again to 6.9% at 200 mg/dL. A1C and 30-day mortality were not associated when controlling for glucose in noncardiac or cardiac procedures.

CONCLUSIONS

Although A1C is positively associated with perioperative glucose, it is not associated with increased 30-day mortality after controlling for glucose. Perioperative glucose predicts 30-day mortality, linearly in noncardiac and nonlinearly in cardiac procedures. This confirms that perioperative glucose control is related to surgical outcomes but that A1C, reflecting antecedent glycemia, is a less useful predictor.

Published: February 2018

Thyroid disease often causes unspecific or mild symptoms, so laboratory tests are needed to confirm the functional diagnosis of the thyroid disorder. The laboratory tests which are important to establish the diagnosis of thyroid disorder include: total and free thyroidhormones, its related (thyroid) hormone binding proteins and auto antibodies. The thyroid hormone tests are mostly measured with competitive or sandwich immunoassays and each method can be interfered by several factors. Some drugs may increase or decrease thethyroid functional tests and several factors such as: underlying diseases, age, pregnancy, occurrence of heterophil antibody and auto antibodies may also interfere the thyroid tests results. The interpretation of an unusual combination from thyroid stimulating hormonesuch as free thyroxin and tri-iodothyronine results needs confirmation of underlying condition for establishing the right diagnosis. This review is aimed to evaluate several factors which may influence the thyroid tests and interpretation.

Thalassemia is a quantitative abnormality of the hemoglobin marked by inadequate hemoglobin synthesis due to the lack or absence of synthesis of one or more globin polypeptide chains. Hemoglobin variant is a qualitative abnormality due to the presence of the abnormal amino acid sequence of one or more globin polypeptide chains. HbE β thalassemia is a disorder of hemoglobin that results from the fusion between the gene β-thalassemia allele from one parent with a gene HbE allele from another parent. In this case, HbE β-Thalassemia patient was a 4.8 year girl diagnosed with hemoglobin E-beta thalassemia based on history and clinical manifestations; pale, the presence of splenomegaly and hepatomegaly. Laboratory tests were Hb: 7.7 g/dL, MCV: 52.9 fl, MCH: 17.7 pg, MCHC: 33.5 g/dL and ferritin: 1012 ng/mL. Peripheral blood smear evaluation showed a microcytic hypochromic anemia with hemolytic signs andinfected features of leukocytes. Hb electrophoresis using HPLC showed a Hb F: 37.7% and HbA2 52.4%, indicating that HbA2 was false high due to coeluating with HbE. The patient was treated by blood transfusion and received additional therapy such as folic acid, iron chelation and vitamin E

Published: February 2018

This study was carried out to assess the levels of heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and antioxidants present in pumpkin leaf (Telfairia occidentalis), catfish (Clarias anguillarus), and African land snail (Archachatina marginata), obtained from Ebubu and Elele-Alimini communities in Rivers State, Nigeria. The heavy metals and PAHs were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) and gas chromatography respectively, while the antioxidants were assayed by conventional methods. Soil samples at Ebubu contained significantly higher Pb, Cr, Cd, and Ni contents than that of Elele-Alimini. The pumpkin leaf from Elele-Alimini contained higher Pb, Zn, Cd, and Fe levels. Cr was undetected in the snails from both locations, while Cd and Ni contents of the snails and catfish at both communities were comparable. For the PAHs, the soil samples from Ebubu contained mostly anthracene (93.37 ppm), benzo[k]fluoranthene (74.36 ppm), fluoranthene (72.64 ppm), and acenaphthylene (47.38 ppm), while those from Elele-Alimini contained more of dibenz[a,h]anthracene (38.65 ppm) and naphthalene (20.55 ppm). Pumpkin leaves from Ebubu were mostly composed of naphthalene, indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, and dibenz[a,h]anthracene, which were undetected in pumpkin leaf samples from Elele-Alimini. In the snail and catfish from Ebubu, acenaphthylene and fluoranthene respectively were the most occurring PAHs, whereas pyrene and phenanthrene respectively had the highest occurrences in snails and catfish from Elele-Alimini. Results for the antioxidant enzymes: catalase and superoxide dismutase in both snails and catfish from Elele-Alimini were significantly higher than those from Ebubu whereas samples from Ebubu contained significantly higher glutathione and malondialdehyde levels. The level of toxicants shown in the foods analyzed in this study is suggestive of potentials to pose significant health risks to the populace when consumed.
A systematic review on the effect of Ramadan on mental health: minor effects and no harm in general, but increased risk of relapse in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder
Authors: Heun Reinhard
Published: February 2018

Objectives

Globally, Moslems are the second largest religious group. During the month of Ramadan from dawn to sundown, healthy Moslems are required to refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, sexual activity and harmful behaviour towards others and themselves. Thus Ramadan may change individual physical states and social interactions. Both might affect mental health within society. Consequently, this systematic review looks at the various effects of Ramadan on mental health.

Methods

A literature search on Ramadan and mental health initially identified 294 papers. We finally selected all 22 relevant papers covering Ramadan and mental health from which study data were extracted.

Results

Relevant papers focussed on the general population and healthy volunteers, on subjects practising sports, on subjects with severe physical disorders, on subjects at risk of eating disorders and on subjects with mental health disorders. The effects of Ramadan on mental well-being were mixed. Positive and negative effects were usually minor, except in subjects with schizophrenia and metabolic syndrome, and in subjects with bipolar disorder who suffered a substantial increase of relapses.

Conclusion

Ramadan fasting is safe in most conditions and disorders, but caution is required in subjects with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The research on mental health and Ramadan would profit from larger studies with more representative samples to help understand the intra-individual and social factors that affect the mental health and well-being in patients and in society. The scientific potential of such studies may have been overlooked in the psychiatric community.

A fundamental shift has happened in the economics and business world. Countries within the same region integrates one another consolidating their politics and economies creating a trading bloc as means for accelerating economic growth. This situation creates new market opportunities and access for low cost workers for producers, consequently generating multiple country of origin information in a single product. For consumers, in terms of evaluating a product, currently are experiencing a new shift, cognitively consumers separate the cue signaled from both country of design and country of manufacture. In this study, first is analysed the impact of strong image related concept that presents with fashion products toward purchase intention, from the test, result is concluded that perceived quality, brand awareness, and fashion involvement had positive correlation toward purchase intention. Second is analysed the role of both country of origin and consumer ethnocentrism that serve as the weak country image concept in moderating function, the outcome form the test concluded that country of origin and consumer ethnocentrism cannot influence the relationship of brand awareness, perceived quality, and fashion involvement toward purchase intention. In addition, based on the findings of this study, further discussed how the interaction between country’s image and brand image affecting purchase intention.

Modelado de cargas controlables en el despacho de sistemas con fuentes renovables y vehículos eléctricos
Authors: Guzman Wilder , Osorio Sebastián , Rivera Sergio
Published: February 2018

El presente documento muestra el despacho económico realizado en un sistema de potencia con penetración de fuentes renovables, carros eléctricos y con especial énfasis en el modelado de cargas controlables. Para ello, se estudió el comportamiento de la irradiancia solar, la velocidad del viento y los patrones de conducción de carros eléctricos por medio de distribuciones de probabilidad Log-Normal, Weibull y Normal, respectivamente. Se definió el concepto de carga controlable, así como los requisitos del contrato con el operador de red para que un centro de consumo pueda declararse como controlable y se utilizó un modelo de minimización de costos de compensación por bloque de potencia no despachada para modelar el comportamiento energético-económico de dichos nodos desde el punto de vista del operador de red. La optimización del despacho (flujo óptimo de potencia) se hizo por medio del algoritmo de optimización DEEPSO mediante la inclusión de 7 nodos controlables, escogidos en base a un criterio de selección establecido. Se encontró que las cargas controlables pueden presentar dos grandes beneficios para el sistema dependiendo de los parámetros establecidos en el contrato: suavización del perfil de demanda (desplazamiento de picos de máxima potencia y disminución de pérdidas) y disminución del costo total de generación.

Se evaluó el efecto del tiempo de fermentación sobre los atributos de calidad física y sensorial en muestras de café arábiga; se utilizaron tiempos de fermentación de 0, 5,10, 15,20, 25 y 30 horas, comparados con el beneficio tradicional realizado por el caficultor con 18 horas de fermentación; se evaluaron parámetros físicos como, merma por pasilla, merma por mucilago y rendimiento de trilla, los atributos sensoriales evaluados fueron fragancia/aroma, sabor, sabor residual, acidez, cuerpo, uniformidad, dulzor, limpidez de la taza, balance e impresión global de acuerdo a la metodología de la SCAA. Los resulta- dos mostraron las más altas mermas por mucilago con 10 y 25 horas de fermentación, en todos los casos los factores de rendimiento estuvieron muy por encima de los valores definidos para cafés de buena calidad, en el análisis sensorial los puntajes totales y los puntajes de cada atributo evaluado obtenidos en todos los tiempos de fermentación fueron muy similares a los valores obtenidos por la muestra testigo, indicando que el tiempo de fermentación no afectó los atributos sensoriales expresados en taza.
Impacts of Rice Importation on Nigeria's Economy
Authors: Abbas Asiru Monday , Agada Iye Gloria , Kolade Olaoluwa
Published: February 2018

This study critically examined the negative effects of importation of rice on the Nigerian economy. The study also took a look at various import policies embarked upon by the Nigerian government as inconsistency in policy is a major hurdle to long term investment in the rice sub-sector. Nigeria spends billions of Naira on annual basis to import rice with its attendant depletion of the nation’s foreign reserves and this study analyzed that this negative trend can be reversed as there are a lot of opportunities in the rice sector that will not only help the country to achieve self-sufficiency in rice production, but also transform the country from a net importer to an exporter of rice. In order to meet local demand, right investment has to be made in production, milling and grading (especially in the production of excellent quality rice that can replace imported rice), marketing, road infrastructure etc. It is recommended that farm inputs (fertilizers, improved quality seeds, pesticides etc.) should be heavily subsidized by the government at different levels as timely access to inputs can significantly raise the level of production and also lead to an increase in the quantity and quality of yield. Also, there has to be a consistent and business friendly government policy in the rice sub-sector in order to encourage investors.

Authors: Urquijo Itziar , Extremera Natalio
Published: February 2018

Introducción. El presente estudio examinó el efecto mediador del engagement académico en la relación entre inteligencia emocional y satisfacción académica controlando variables sociodemográficas y otros constructos clásicos como el rasgo de personalidad de conciencia.Método. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 203 estudiantes (140 mujeres, 63 hombres) de la Universidad de Deusto con edades comprendidas entre 18 y 27 años. Para el análisis de datos se realizó el análisis bootstrapping para corroborar la existencia de los efectos múltiples de mediación.Resultados. Los resultados obtenidos indicaron que la inteligencia emocional se asocia significativamente a la satisfacción académica de los estudiantes universitarios. Además, el modelo final mostró una mediación completa del engagement académico en la relación entre inteligencia emocional y satisfacción académica, incluso una vez controladas tanto las variables sociodemográficas como de personalidad.Discusión y conclusiones. El presente estudio supone uno de los primeros trabajos desarrollados en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios en los que se analiza el efecto mediador del engagement académico en la relación entre inteligencia emocional y satisfacción académica controlando variables sociodemográficas y de rasgos de la personalidad. Así, los hallazgos del presente estudio sugirieron un proceso subyacente en la relación entre inteligencia emocional y la satisfacción académica. Finalmente, se discuten las limitaciones e implicaciones de los resultados obtenidos.
