Metamodelos de linguagem e modelos de indução de Milton Erickson: possibilidades de análise para rastreamento de ideologias e crenças
Authors: Antunes Junior Fernando Simões
Published: May 2020

O presente artigo pretende revisar interfaces entre os Metamodelos de Linguagem, de Bandler e Grinder (2002), e os Modelos de Indução de Milton Erikson, compilados por O´Connor e Seymor (1990), enquanto possibilidades metodológicas para análises discursivas de mensagens de duplo vínculo em materiais midiáticos. Para demonstrar tais interfaces, são analisados fragmentos textuais de uma reportagem jornalísticas veiculada no site do jornal Correio do Povo em 2016. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa e de natureza aplicada. Por ter um caráter revisional, usam-se os procedimentos técnicos de revisão bibliográfica e análise documental. Os resultados mostram que tantos os metamodelos quanto os modelos de indução dão pistas ideológicas sobre as construções narrativas das reportagens analisadas.

Locational Investment Signals: How to Steer the Siting of New Generation Capacity in Power Systems?
Authors: Eicke Anselm , Khanna Tarun , Hirth Lion
Published: May 2020

New generators located far from consumption centers require transmission infrastructure and increase network losses. The primary objective of this paper is to study signals that affect the location of generation investment. Such signals result from the electricity market itself and from additional regulatory instruments. We cluster them into five groups: locational electricity markets, deep grid connection charges, grid usage charges, capacity mechanisms, and renewable energy support schemes. We review the use of instruments in twelve major power systems and discuss relevant properties, including a quantitative estimate of their strength. We find that most systems use multiple instruments in parallel, and none of the identified instruments prevails. The signals vary between locations by up to 20 EUR per MWh. Such a difference is significant when compared to the levelized costs of combined cycle plants of 64-72 EUR per MWh in Europe.
Los planes especiales de protección de los centros históricos: la necesidad de un nuevo modelo de protección
Authors: Vázquez Ríos Rafael
Published: May 2020

La declaración de un Conjunto Histórico como bien de interés cultural lleva aparejada la realización de un plan especial de protección para dicho ámbito. Este plan, que forma parte del Plan General de Ordenación Urbanade una ciudad, están elaborados en la actualidad basándose en normas eminentemente urbanísticas con propuestas que afectan a la edificación, a las alineaciones y a los usos de los edificios incorporando todos ellos la figura de los catálogos de protección que hacen más amplia la conservación de los conjuntos. Sin embargo, estos documentos adolecen de muchos aspectos transversales que consideramos fundamentales para una protección efectiva de estos entornos, tales como los económicos, medioambientales, turísticos (incluido el nuevo fenómeno de las viviendas de uso turístico), la necesidad de recoger usos más amplios, comercio, transporte, accesibilidad y la gestión de estos conjuntos mediante figuras como los consorcios o patronatos. Es por ello, que entendemos de enorme interés analizar el régimen jurídico de este instrumento de protección para poder proponer algunas medidas que redunden en una mejor protección de estos entornos urbanos y que con la necesaria adaptación de la normativa correspondiente consigamos un nuevo concepto de Plan Especial de Protección.

The Declaration of a historic set of cultural interest carries the accomplishment of a special protection plan for this area. This plan, which is part of the comprehensive Plan of urban development of a city, are currently based on eminently town planning regulations with proposals that affect the building, alignments and the uses of buildings incorporating all of them the figure of protection catalogs that make larger sets conservation. However, these documents are transversal aspects which we consider fundamental for effective protection of these environments, such as the economic, environmental, tourism (including the new phenomenon of the dwellings of use tourist), the need to collect wider applications, Commerce, transport, accessibility and management of these sets by figures such as consortia or boards. That is why, we understand enormous interest to analyze the status of this instrument of protection to be able to propose some measures which lead to better protection of these urban environments and that, with the necessary adaptation of the corresponding legislation, get a new concept of special protection Plan.
Gestão urbana e arranjos institucionais para a política de ciclomobilidade: perspectivas de avanço no cicloturismo urbano na cidade de Curitiba, Brasil
Authors: Silva Segovia Yenifer Ninosca
Published: May 2020

A capacidade de articulação de política pública de mobilidade e turismo urbano em sistemas locais de gestão e governança tem sido colocada como desafio para a formulação de políticas urbanas cicloinclusivas em diferentes países. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do presente é delinear o contexto da ciclomobilidade de grandes cidades lationoamericas e compreender como órgãos e entidades públicas municipais responsáveis por políticas públicas de Curitiba associam a mobilidade urbana cicloinclusiva e atividades cicloturísticas. O estudo foi realizado a partir de base documental e de entrevistas com gestores municipais. Os resultados evidenciam, por um lado, fragilidades na articulação e formação de visões concordantes entre as entidades que compõem o sistema de governança e de gestão urbana local responsável por incentivar, regular e aplicar recursos públicos na atividade cicloturística urbana e, por outro, riscos elevados para aumentar a utilização de bicicletas no sistema urbano viário de Curitiba.

The capacity for articulating public policies for mobility and urban tourism in local management and governance systems has been challenged for the formulation of cycle-inclusive urban policies in different countries. In this context, the purpose of this paper is to outline the context of the cyclomobility of large Latin American cities and to understand how municipal public bodies and entities responsible for public policies in Curitiba associate urban mobility and cyclotourism activities. The results show, on the one hand, weaknesses in the articulation and formation of concordant views between the entities that make up the system of governance and local urban management responsible for encouraging, regulating and applying public resources in urban cyclotourism activity and, on the other hand, high risks to increase the use of bicycles in the urban road system of Curitiba.
Streets by the sea: type–morphology of Portuguese Atlantic waterfront facing sea level rise
Authors: Dal Cin Francesca
Published: May 2020

Global warming affects the city and the interaction of anthropogenic systems. Among the effects of climate change, there is an increase in the average sea level, as reported by the IPCC. In an unpredictable future of climate change where cities are vulnerable anthropic systems, it is required to make cities climate-proof. This thesis research focuses on the seashore street, in the Portuguese coastal cities. The relationship between water and the built area defines a territory that has been considered habitable and that over time has developed different forms of use: fishing, port, and today is a recreational place.The aim is to describe seashore streets' characteristics in the space through a morphological analysis of its spatial dimension evolution in time. Furthermore to understand what happens when the urban and the Atlantic overlap. The identification and classification of this part of the city is the first step for its adaptation.
Tecnologías de información geográfica para la gestión del patrimonio territorial: los paisajes culturales de la sal en Chile
Authors: Román López Emilia , González Loyola Mauricio Sebastián
Published: May 2020

La presente investigación ofrece resultados sobre el estudio de los paisajes culturales salados en Chile y su relación con los existentes en España, concretamente en Andalucía. El interés reside en estudiar áreas con latitudes y culturas similares, ya que las salinas estudiadas utilizan técnicas de producción artesanal, con gran dependencia de los ciclos estacionales y la posición geográfica, al utilizar energías renovables. El aspecto cultural también es fundamental, pues ha determinado la aplicación y desarrollo de técnicas de explotaciónheredadas de la tradición española desde hace más de 400 años, aunque previamente existían salares “naturales” de explotación indígena. Actualmente este valioso patrimonio cultural presenta un importante proceso de abandono y olvido por parte de la sociedad chilena, al igual que ocurre en España. Esta circunstancia es una de las principales causas de su acelerado deterioro y desaparición en los últimos años y, por ello, se pretende fortalecer su conocimiento mediante el empleo de las TIGs.

This research offers results on the study of cultural saltplants in Chile and their relationship with those existing in Spain, specifically in Andalusia. The interest lies in studying areas with similar latitudes and cultures, since the salinas studied use handcrafted production techniques, with great dependence on seasonal cycles and geographical location, using renewable energies. The cultural aspect is also fundamental, since it has determined the application and development of exploitation techniques inherited from the Span ish tradition for more than 400 years, although previously there were "natural" salt flats of indigenous exploitation. Currently, this valuable cultural heritage presents an important process of abandonment and oblivion by Chilean society, as occurs in Spain. This circumstance is one of the main causes of its accelerated deterioration and disappearance in recent years and, therefore, it is intended to strengthen its knowledge through the use of ITCs.
Territórios informais desenhados no litoral brasileiro: processos restritivos, permissivos, ocultos e pactuados à luz da legislação urbanística e ambienta
Authors: Gomes Ramon Fortunato , Bitencourt Ricardo Batista , Ribeiro Rômulo José da Costa
Published: May 2020

O estudo desenvolve a análise do planejamento urbano por meio de planos de ordenamento territorial, códigos, leis e práticas de gestão urbana adotadas no gerenciamento territorial. Compõem o objeto de estudo cidades cujo arcabouço jurídico urbanístico compreende ferramenta singular ao ordenamento territorial e à preservação urbanística e paisagística: os Conjuntos Urbanos Tombados, cidades históricas no litoral brasileiro. Foianalisada a legislação urbanística e ambiental vigente nessas cidades, bem como as áreas de expansão urbana e formações periféricas. A sobreposição de imagens de satélite obtidas no Google Earth constituiu o método de identificação dos territórios informais, definidos como “ocorrências urbanas”, cuja constituição e consolidação envolveram processos na gestão territorial que fomentam formações em núcleos urbanos informais. Assim, mediante as análises em planos territoriais, em leis e na gestão urbanística, conclui-se que as práticas de gestão urbana contribuem, via processos distintos, para a formação e consolidação das ocupações informais.

This study analyzes urban planning in terms of territorial planning plans, codes, laws and urban management practices adopted in territorial management. The object of study is the cities whose urban juridical framework comprises a unique tool for territorial planning, urban and landscape preservation: the listed historical cities located on the Brazilian coast. The urban building and environmental legislation in force, as well as the areas of urban expansion and peripheral formations, were analyzed. Satellite images obtained in Google Earth were overlapped as a method to identify informal territories, defined as "urban occurrences". The constitution and consolidation of urban occurrences involve processes in territorial management that encourage informal urban centers. Based on analyses of territorial plans, laws and urban management, it is concluded that urban management practices contribute to the formation and consolidation of informal occupations.

Arica, 1950-80: la forma urbana del desarrollo: estructura y lógica de partes en el crecimiento extensivo
Authors: Torrent Horacio
Published: May 2020

La ponencia presenta las formas que asumió la configuración del crecimiento extensivo de una ciudad de tamaño medio, empleando los instrumentos del análisis urbano para la identificación de los proyectos –básicamente urbano residenciales- que propendieron a la configuración de una ciudad de partes. Arica, constituyó entre los años cincuenta y setenta, un laboratorio particular en el que se caracterizó esta relación entre arquitectura y ciudad de manera excepcional. Se presentan así los crecimientos de la planta urbana, y el análisis de una serie de proyectos de vivienda que propusieron el crecimiento expansivo, en directa relación con las lógicas internas a cada porción o parte y una lectura interpretativa del tejido, en correlación con los planes que trataron de controlar el desarrollo urbano.

The paper present the different configurations of the urban development growth of a medium-sized city, using the instruments of urban analysis for the identification of the projects -basically urban residential- that favored the configuration of a city of parts. Arica, between the fifties and seventies, became a privileged urban laboratory that characterized the city by the relationship between architecture and urban form in an exceptional way. The paper shows the growth of the urban plant, and the analysis of a series of housing projects that proposed expansive growth, in a direct relationship with the internal logics and an interpretive reading of the fabric, in correlation with the plans implemented to control the urban development.
Influencia de la ciudad colonial hispanoamericana en el Ensanche de Barcelona: análisis morfológico del Plan Cerdà para Barcelona de 1859
Authors: Malave Fernández Rafael Alirio , Aceves Álvarez Oscar
Published: May 2020

El Ensanche de Barcelona, proyectado por el ingeniero de caminos Ildefons Cerdà en 1859, es un ejemplo notable del urbanismo del siglo XIX, cuya influencia ha llegado a otros ensanches posteriores gracias a su calidad y al avanzado pensamiento que lo generó. A pesar de la originalidad de muchos aspectos del llamado “Plan Cerdà”, este se encuentra relacionado con algunos precedentes, siendo la influencia de la ciudad colonial hispanoamericana, concretamente la del “modelo clásico” -de trazado urbano cuadricular-, la que nos interesa analizar aquí. ¿De qué manera entonces tomó Cerdà como referencia las ciudades hispanoamericanas para diseñar su propuesta para el ensanche de Barcelona? Bajo la hipótesis de que la influencia es explicita en lo que se refiere a forma, orden, ocupación del espacio, y capacidad de expansión, e implícita -pero evidente- en cuanto al ancho de las calles y el tamaño de las manzanas, el objetivo principal de la investigación es exponer evidencias que hacen verosímil la posible influencia de las ciudades hispanoamericanas en el diseño del Plan Cerdà.

The Barcelona's Extension, designed by the road engineer Ildefons Cerdà in 1859, is a notable example of nineteenth-century urbanism, whose influence has reached other subsequent city extensions thanks to its quality and the advanced thinking that generated it. Despite the originality of many aspects of the so-called "Plan Cerdà", this is related to some precedents, being the influence of the Spanish-American colonial city, specifically that of the "classic model" (of urban grid layout), which interests us to analyze here. In what way did Cerdà take as a reference the Spanish-American cities to design his proposal for the widening of Barcelona? Under the hypothesis that the influence is explicit in terms of form, order, occupation of space, and capacity for expansion, and implicit -but evident- in terms of the width of the streets and the size of the apples, the research main objective is to expose evidence that make likely the possible influence of Spanish-American cities on the design of the Cerdà Plan.

Published: May 2020

Los centros de arte contemporáneo son considerados piezas motoras de transformación urbana, lo que se ha constatado en numerosas ciudades de todo el mundo. Por ello, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar el Centro Nacional de Arte Contemporáneo Cerrillos, único de su tipo en Chile. Con este fin, se despliega una estrategia metodológica multidisciplinaria y multimétodo que permite el estudio de un caso institucional. Como resultado se describe el centro en función de cuatro dimensiones: histórica, urbana, arquitectónica y sociocultural. En la discusión se analiza la conectividad, la accesibilidad, la legibilidad, los recorridos y permanencias y la flexibilidad. Se concluye que, si bien se requiere potenciar algunos elementos secundarios, este centro opera como un motor de transformación de un sector desvalorizado de la ciudad.

Contemporary art centers are considered urban transformation engines, which has been observed in many cities around the world. Therefore, the objective of this article is to analyze the Centro Nacional de Arte Contemporáneo Cerrillos, the only one of its kind in Chile. To this end, a multidisciplinary methodological and multi-method strategy is deployed that allows the study of an institutional case. As a result, the center is described according to four dimensions: historical, urban, architectural and sociocultural. In the discussion, connectivity, accessibility, readability, tours and permanence and flexibility are analyzed. It is concluded that, although it is necessary to promote some secondary elements, this center operates as an engine of transformation of a devalued sector of the city.
Crise urbana e direito à cidade: reflexões e perspectivas de resistência a partir da luta popular microlocal
Authors: Coelho Polyana Pereira , Gonçalves Raquel Garcia
Published: May 2020

Desde a chegada do século XXI uma mudança nas mobilizações populares marcou a luta de classes mundial. Embora difusas e aparentemente desconectadas, as mobilizações retomaram a centralidade do espaço urbano enquanto palco da práxis política. O espaço urbano em crise, marcado por muros, conflitos e disputas, tem suscitado insurreições demonstrando que é possível construir resistência por meio da luta de agentes que, com todas as suas contradições, se apresentam em processo de transformação. O presente trabalho apresenta um estudo do distrito Antônio Pereira, Ouro Preto, MG, que foi palco de lutas populares acompanhando o quadro nacional de mobilizações que se abriu em 2013. A partir da história oral, foram reconstruídos os cenários das mobilizações, as motivações e os primeiros desdobramentos das experiências vividas a fim de entender de que forma a ação direta, a ocupação do espaço e a desobediência civil podem suscitar transformações e ressignificações na luta urbana.

Since the arrival of the twenty-first century a change in popular mobilizations has marked the world class struggle. Although diffused and apparently disconnected, mobilizations have returned to the centrality of urban space as the stage of political praxis. The urban space in crisis, marked by walls, conflicts and disputes, has provoked insurrections demonstrating that it is possible to build resistance through the struggle of agents who, with all their contradictions, are in a process of transformation. The present case presents a study of the Antônio Pereira district, Ouro Preto, MG, which was the scene of popular struggles accompanying the national mobilization framework that opened in 2013. From the oral history, the scenarios of the mobilizations, motivations and the first developments of the lived experiences in order to understand how direct action, occupation of space and civil disobedience can provoke transformations and resignification in the urban struggle.
Dominação e apropriação social no Calçadão General Osório: a legislação urbana como elemento condicionante da “territorialização” do espaço
Authors: Carato Victor Amorim , Migliorini Vera Lúcia Blat
Published: May 2020

Reconhecido regionalmente por ser uma via de trânsito exclusivo do pedestre, o Calçadão General Osório sintetiza sobre sua realidade socioespacial os paradigmas enfrentados pela região central de Ribeirão Preto/SP, onde, através da multiplicidade de usos (co) existentes em suas territorialidades, afirmam-se como a “expressão mais bem acabada da contradição do espaço geográfico ao estabelecer ora como espaço da dominação, ora como espaço da apropriação social” (Miranda, 2005:17). Assim, levantando a hipótese de que “mais do que efetivamente regular a produção da cidade, a legislação urbana age como marco delimitador de fronteiras do poder” (Rolnik, 1997:13), o presente trabalho propõe identificar descompassos entre a legislação urbana vigente e a realidade socioespacial do Calçadão, discutindo, sobre este ponto, os discursos desenvolvidos pelos agentes vinculados a sua produção, no âmbito da legalidade assim como sobre a dimensão dos interesses particulares no uso e ocupação do território.

Recognized regionally as an exclusive pedestrian transit road, Calçadão General Osório synthesizes on its socio-spatial reality the paradigms faced by the central region of Ribeirão Preto/SP, where, through the multiplicity of (co) existing uses in their territories, as the “most well-finished expression of the contradiction of geographical space by establishing now as the space of domination, now as the space of social appropriation” (Miranda, 2005, p. 17). Thus, raising the hypothesis that “more than effectively regulate the production of the city, the urban legislation acts as a boundary delimiter of power” (Rolnik, 1997:13), the present work proposes to identify mismatches between the current urban legislation and the social-spatial reality of Calçadão, discussing about this point, the discourses developed by the agents that produce this territoriality, both within the scope of legality and on the dimension of particular interests in the use and occupation of the territory.
Transformações morfológicas e apropriação urbana: uma análise configuracional da urbanidade de Blumenau/SC
Authors: Carminatti Karol Diego , Reis Almir Francisco
Published: May 2020

Ainda recente nos estudos urbanos, a urbanidade surge como elemento fundamental para o entendimento das práticas sociais no espaço urbano. Conceituando o acolhimento que as cidades dão aos seus moradores e transeuntes, a urbanidade está relacionada com a morfologia dos espaços públicos e sua capacidade de atrair gente. Neste trabalho propomos investigar os efeitos da forma espacial e seus atributos como meio de possibilitar ou restringir as práticas sociais. Utilizando Blumenau, importante cidade catarinense, partimos de leituras teórico-metodológicas analisando o papel do traçado urbano e suas implicações no cotidiano. Através da teoria da Sintaxe Espacial e análises complementares de morfologia e apropriação urbana, pudemos identificar mudanças tanto de configuração como de uso. A dinâmica espacial no presente aponta mudanças significativas no centro histórico de Blumenau e o surgimento de um “novo centro”, facultando uma migração da urbanidade da cidade.

Still recent in urban studies, urbanity emerges as a fundamental element for the understanding of social practices in urban space. Conceptualizing the reception that cities give their residents and passers-by, urbanity is related to the morphology of public spaces and their ability to attract people. In this work we propose to investigate the effects of the spatial form and its attributes as a means of enabling or restricting social practices. Using Blumenau, an important city in Santa Catarina, we start from theoretical-methodological readings analyzing the role of the urban layout and its implications in everyday life. Through spatial syntax theory and complementary analyses of morphology and urban appropriation, we were able to identify changes in both configuration and use. The spatial dynamics in the present point indicate significant changes in the historic center of Blumenau and the emergence of a "new center", allowing a migration of urbanity of the city.
Ecobarrio integral como una estrategia de planificación urbana: nuevas líneas, mismo paisaje y espacios habitables en el barrio El Níspero, Colombia
Authors: Mestra Manzur Meibi Maria , Agudelo Jiménez Jorge Ricardo , Guzmán Arteaga Ramiro Elías
Published: May 2020

El Ecobarrio es una estrategia de planificación urbana que busca el desarrollo sostenible de la ciudad, involucrando a la comunidad con su entorno. Nuestro objetivo es proponer al barrio El Níspero (Montería, Colombia) una propuesta de ecobarrio integral, para mejorar su habitabilidad y fortalecer la calidad de vida de 3000 habitantes. Mientras las políticas de intervención pública no incluyan la ciudadanía, la sostenibilidad estará desarticulada de las necesidades de la comunidad. Para diagnosticar la problemática del barrio, caracterizamos interdisciplinariamente las viviendas y la infraestructura urbana, empleando fotografías y observación directa, y encuestamos a los habitantes para conocer su percepción sobre relaciones sociales, sistemas de movilidad, entre otros aspectos. Recopilamos información sociodemográfica y efectuamos sesiones de participación ciudadana para conocer su percepción sobre el barrio. Logramos establecer que las desigualdades en la habitabilidad de las viviendas y el espacio público han sido subsanadas utilizando materiales reciclables y de la construcción.

The ecourban is an urban planning strategy that seeks the sustainable development of the city, involving the community with its surroundings. Our goal is make a proposal to El Níspero neighborhood (Montería, Colombia),to improve living conditions and strengthen the quality of life of their 3000 inhabitants. While policies of public intervention don’t include the citizenship, sustainability are disarticulated form the needs of the community. To diagnose the problem of the neighborhood, we characterized with an interdisciplinary view the housing and urban infrastructure, using photographs, direct observation, and surveyed the inhabitants to know their perception on social relations, mobility systems, among others. We also collect socio-demographic information and hold two meetings with the community to find out their perception about the neighborhood. We were able to establish that inequalities in the habitability of homes and public space have been corrected using recyclable and construction materials.
Trazando la Frontera Araucana, Chile: de las leyes y las divisiones del territorio. 1866-1916
Authors: Barria Catalán Tirza Aseneth
Published: May 2020

Con la “Pacificación de la Araucanía”, se inició en la segunda mitad del s.XIX, un proceso que cambió la fisonomía del territorio llamado “frontera araucana”. La propiedad privada y pública se mensuró, delimitó y fijó en planos, determinándose la radicación mapuche, y el remate y entrega de tierras a colonos nacionales y extranjeros. Del análisis de planos y en especifico de la “Carta Jeneral de Colonización de la provincia de Cautín”, elaborada por Nicanor Boloña e impresa en 1916, y su relación con la Ley de 1866, este articulo tiene como objetivo visibilizar el proceso de territorialización de la frontera. Por medio del redibujo de la “carta”, se elaboran una serie de mapas temáticos entre ellos los de hidrografía, infraestructura, urbanos, administrativos y de parcelación. Se observa en la macro escala una continuidad del espacio territorial dado por el trazado de hijuelación, formas determinadas por la ley de 1866 y sus sucesivas leyes complementarias.

With the "Pacification of Araucanía", a process that changed the physiognomy of the territory called "Araucana border" began in the second half of the 19th century. Private and public property was measured, delimited and fixed in plans, determining the Mapuche settlement, and the auction and delivery of land to national and foreign settlers. From the analysis of plans and specifically the "Jeneral Letter of Colonization of the province of Cautín", prepared by Nicanor Bologna and printed in 1916, and its relationship with the Law of 1866, this article aims to make visible the territorialization process of border. Through the redrawing of the “letter”, a series of thematic maps are prepared, including those of hydrography, infrastructure, urban, administrative and partitioning. The continuity of the territorial space given by the plotting of the land, the forms determined by the law of 1866 and its successive complementary laws is observed in the macro scale.
El mito de Ixión y el burlesque victoriano
Authors: Muñoz Vargas Antonio
Published: May 2020

El burlesque victoriano fue un género teatral menor próximo a la Ópera Cómica. La mitología clásica fue uno de sus temas preferidos: contemplar en el espectáculo a dioses apostando, jugando a las cartas o tomando té tenía un efecto muy cómico. Por otro lado, la mitología daba también la posibilidad de contemplar actrices y bailarinas escasamente vestidas de acuerdo a los estándares de la época. El burlesque reflejaba a través de las referencias anacrónicas la realidad sociopolítica del momento. Y, por otro lado, extendía el conocimiento de la mitología clásica a un público, a veces, no muy culto. El Ixión o el hombre en la rueda de Burnand es un gran ejemplo de este género.
Coherencia y principio de coordinación en el ejercicio de la competencia por parte del órgano estatal
Authors: Sacristán Estela B.
Published: May 2020

El presente artículo, luego de algunas aclaraciones metodológicas, analiza una muestra de Argentina compuesta por normas jurídicas, manifestaciones de órganos estatales en la world wide web y fallos de la Corte Suprema de Justicia de la Nación, desde la mera perspectiva lógica de la coherencia en el ejercicio de la competencia por parte del órgano estatal. La muestra versa sobre vida humana y su protección. Se propicia un enfoque que combina –por no incompatibles mutuamente–, coherencia, el principio de coordinación de Grice y el principio de coordinación de raigambre aristotélico-tomista. También se encaran algunas objeciones y se proponen respuestas a las mismas.

Comparación de la escala qSOFA para evaluar la falla orgánica secuencial y los criterios SIRS para sepsis a la cabecera de pacientes con bacteriemia por Staphylococcus aureus
Authors: García Óscar , Álvarez Tatiana , Granados Santiago , Garzón Vanessa , González Santiago
Published: May 2020

Introducción. Staphylococcus aureus es una de las principales causas de bacteriemia, adquirida en la comunidad o asociada con la atención en salud, la cual presenta un gran porcentaje de complicaciones y elevadas tasas de morbilidad y mortalidad. Los criterios SRIS (Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) se han usado tradicionalmente con el fin de establecer la presencia de sepsis; sin embargo, recientemente se ha cuestionado su valor predictivo dada su baja sensibilidad y especificidad. En el 2016, apareció la escala qSOFA (quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment), como una nueva herramienta para la evaluación rápida de las infecciones en los servicios de urgencias.Objetivo. Comparar las herramientas qSOFA y SRIS para la predicción de la bacteriemia por S. aureus.Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un estudio observacional sobre el comportamiento clínico de pacientes con bacteriemia por S. aureus para evaluar el perfil de resistencia fenotípica, algunas características sociodemográficas, clínicas y de laboratorio, las complicaciones y la mortalidad, así como los resultados de las evaluaciones con la escala qSOFA y los criterios SRIS, para establecer cuál podría predecir mejor la presencia de bacteriemia por S. aureus.Resultados. Se seleccionaron 26 pacientes con bacteriemia, en cuyas muestras S. aureus había sido el segundo germen más frecuentemente aislado. Se encontró una mortalidad del 50 % (13 casos) y una prevalencia del 30 % de S. aureus resistente a meticilina (SARM). Según los puntajes clínicos obtenidos, la escala qSOFA fue positiva en 30,8 % de los pacientes y los criterios SRIS lo fueron en el 92,3 %.Discusión. Se encontró una elevada mortalidad en la población analizada. La escala qSOFA fue menos efectiva para el diagnóstico que los criterios clásicos de reacción inflamatoria sistémica.

Protected areas, as integral part of natural heritage, by their intrinsic value and low human intervention degree, are by far, the best examples for natural and semi-natural ecological systems. Protected areas are still perceived and considered true wild oasis which need protection for conservation of different unique species that populate them. Little is known about the fact that natural and semi-natural regime areas constitute livelihood support, and decisively contribute to socio-economical development of local and regional communities.

Constantly promoting philatelic themes involving the natural heritage, different philatelic postal entities and associations, all over the world, performs a series of postage issues, among which the preoccupations for environmental protection prevail.

In accordance with the previously stated, in this paper, is proposed an incursion into the history of environmental protection preoccupations, and bring in discussion the significant concerns in promoting ecological educational via thematic joint issues. So is presented the Romanian’s collaboration with countries like Argentina, Spain, Estonia and Gibraltar.

This study set out to identify, index and describe the main philatelic pieces issued in Romania, from the beginning of issuing in this field. Likewise, a huge numbers of pictorial data was used (postal stamps, first day covers, occasional envelopes, postcards and maxicards), from different international open-source philatelic databases, as well as from specialized catalogs and collections.

The analysis and interpretation of this kind of pictorial data was the main objective of study, based on the descriptions made by other collectors and philatelists, respectively by consulting other sources and specialized catalogs. As a result, this study has succeeded in identifying the pieces in question, and shows they come to certify the common concerns for the environmental protection, from mountain lakes to species of flora and fauna.

In conclusion it can be mentioned that this study therefore recommends the use of the ecology and science classes, where young people can come into direct contact with the described philatelic pieces (postal stamps and first day covers - FDCs, in most cases), and thus can fully understand the specificities of external collaborations on environmental protection and sustainable development.

Aim: The aim of this work was to carry out a screen for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) in nasal cavity of patients in the intensive care units of the University Hospital Center (UHC) and the Central Hospital of Yaounde (CHY) in Cameroon.

Study Design: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out.

Pace and Duration of the Study: Collection of nasal swab was done in Intensive Care Unit of University Teaching Hospital of Yaounde, and Intensive Care Unit of Central Hospital of Yaounde. Identification and susceptibility test were done in bacteriology laboratory of University Hospital Center, Yaounde between August 2018 and March 2019.

Methods: Nasal swabs were collected from patients by performing rotation in each nose. The identification of bacteria was carried out by observation of mannitol fermentation on Chapman agar, catalase, coagulase and DNAse tests. The susceptibility test was carried out by the method of diffusion of the discs in Mueller-Hinton agar.

Results: A total of 29 S. aureus were identified from 127 patients of which 44.10% were women  and 55.90% were men. The antibiotic resistance profile showed cross-resistance of S. aureus between cefoxitin and others antibiotics with high resistance of amoxicillin, Amoxi / Clavulanic, fusidic acid, gentamycin and tetracycline with rates ranging from 62% to 82%. We detected 58.62% resistant species to cefoxitin and 51.72% were resistant to vancomycin. Statistical analysis found that there was not association between age groups, gender with nasal carriage of S. aureus. However there was an association (P=0,0060) between the hospital attended and the portage of S. aureus.

Conclusion: The prevalence of Methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) is quite high in intensive care patients. Staphylococcus aureus isolated from carriers also shows resistance to others antibiotics. This can increase the incidence of nosocomial infections. There is a need to implement effective control strategies to prevent infection cross transmission in intensive care Units.

Enhanced drug delivery can improve the therapeutic efficacy of drugs and help overcome side effects. However, many reported drug‐delivery systems are too complex and irreproducible for practical use. In this work, the design of a hypoxia‐responsive molecular container based on calixarene, called CAC4A, which presents a significant advance in practical, hypoxia‐targeted drug‐delivery, is reported. CAC4A enables a wide variety of clinical drugs to be quantitatively loaded to improve their solubility and stability, as well as enable the administration of reduced doses. Furthermore, as a result of its azo functional groups, which are sensitive to reduction within a hypoxic environment, it is possible to achieve tumor‐targeted drug‐release with reduced side effects. CAC4A fulfils all essential requirements for a drug‐delivery system in addition to multiple advantages, including facile preparation, well‐defined molecular weight, and structure, and universal applicability. Such features collectively enable supramolecular prodrugs to be formulated simply and reproducibly, with potential for bench‐to‐bedside translation. Moreover, CAC4A is amenable to other therapy modalities and can be facilely decorated with functional groups and hybridized with nanomaterials, providing ample possibilities for its role in future drug‐delivery systems.

While α‐synuclein, an intrinsically disordered protein linked to Parkinson's disease, has been shown to associate with membrane organelles, its overall cellular function remains nebulous. α‐Synuclein binds to membranes through its amino‐terminal domain (first ≈100 residues), but there is no consensus on the biophysical function of the carboxyl‐terminal domain (last ≈40 residues) due, in part, to its lack of strong interaction partners and persisting intrinsic disorder even when membrane bound. Here, by directly applying force on α‐synuclein bound to spherical nanoparticle‐supported lipid bilayers (SSLBs) and tracking higher‐order structural changes through small‐angle X‐ray scattering, strong evidence is presented that α‐synuclein sterically stabilizes membrane surfaces through its carboxyl‐terminal domain. Full‐length α‐synuclein dramatically increases the critical osmotic pressure at which SSLBs cluster (PC ≈ 1.3 × 105 Pa) compared to α‐synuclein without the carboxyl‐terminal domain (PC ≈ 1.9 × 104 Pa) at physiological salt and temperature conditions. This clustering of α‐synuclein‐bound SSLBs is shown to be reversible and sensitive to monovalent/divalent salt, both features of grafted polyelectrolyte‐mediated steric stabilization. In elucidating the biophysical function of α‐synuclein in the framework of polymer science, it is demonstrated that the carboxyl‐terminal domain can potentially utilize its persisting intrinsic disorder to functionalize membrane surfaces.

Extensive effort is dedicated to developing 2D materials as an alternative to Si‐based semiconductor technology. As the size decreases, heat dissipation at various interfaces becomes increasingly important in controlling device performance. On the other hand, the high interfacial thermal resistances can be applied for thermoelectric devices or thermal insulators by achieving ultralow thermal conductivity via nanostructuring. Here, it is found that a) the thermal and electrical conductance of the Au/MoS2 monolayer interface can be tuned by changing the interfacial chemical properties through N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone (NMP) wet cleaning while preserving the MoS2 structure; b) the effectiveness of the NMP cleaning process, which removes surface adsorbates, exhibits a temperature dependence; c) experimental results demonstrate that adequate oxygen adsorbates at the Au/MoS2 interface significantly improve the thermal and electrical conductance, in agreement with the simulation results. The interfacial thermal conductance increases by 339.87% when oxygen adsorbates are partially removed and decreases by 74.37% as a sharp interface exists (oxygen adsorbates are removed) compared to the as‐deposited interfaces. The electrical conductance shows up to 2 order increase after NMP cleaning. This finding can both enhance the heat dissipation in functional devices and provide new options for the interface design of thermal insulating thin films.
