Authors: Orozco-Gutiérrez Jimena , Solís-Castro Yuliana
Published: April 2017

Las fuentes de abastecimiento de agua para consumo humano en Costa Rica se dividen en tres tipos: superficiales, subterráneas y subsuperficiales. El objetivo del presente estudio es inventariar, clasificar y calificar las fuentes de abastecimiento registradas en la base de datos del Laboratorio Nacional de Aguas (LNA) pertenecientes al Instituto Costarricense de Acueductos y Alcantarillados (AyA), que operaron durante el 2015 en las distintas regiones, desglosando la información en porcentajes por tipo de fuente y por calidad de agua de consumo. Se utilizó el Programa de Control de Calidad del Agua, implementado por el LNA, para recopilar los datos. La calificación de fuentes subterráneas y subsuperficiales se basó en los criterios físico-químicos y microbiológicos convenidos en el estudio denominado “Actualización de los criterios de calidad de aguas de pozos y nacientes para potabilización en Costa Rica 2012”; para la clasificación de las fuentes superficiales se utilizaron los criterios establecido en el Reglamento para la Evaluación y Clasificación de la Calidad de Cuerpos de Agua Superficiales Decreto N°33903-MINAE-S. Se reportó un total de 492 fuentes de abastecimiento; 47 fueron superficiales (10 %), 287 subterráneas (58 %) y 158 subsuperficiales (32 %). Las fuentes subterráneas y subsuperficiales predominaron para todas las regiones, siendo la Región Área Metropolitana (RAM) la que presentó el mayor porcentaje en fuentes superficiales (25 %). La calidad excelente y buena fue mayor del 50% para los tres tipos de fuentes. El presente estudio recomienda desarrollar un programa, establecido y ejecutado por el AyA, para proteger las fuentes de abastecimiento, garantizando la calidad de agua para consumo humano.
O diálogo educador entre indígenas e pedagogos(as) em formação: uma ponte para compreender e valorizar a diversidade cultural indígena brasileira
Authors: Bampi Aumeri Carlos , Diel Jeferson Odair
Published: April 2017

O objeto do estudo é a força do diálogo entre estudantes de Pedagogia e indígenas, acerca da mudança de percepção sobre os indígenas brasileiros. A justificativa dá-se em virtude de que os alunos pesquisados realizam a formação em Mato Grosso, Estado brasileiro conhecido pela diversidade étnica indígena; a cidade em que estudam (Sinop) está próxima a comunidades indígenas xinguanas; no entanto esses discentes desconhecem-nas. Na pesquisa-ação envolveram-se 560 estudantes ingressantes no curso de Pedagogia entre os anos de 2008 a 2015. Aponta-se que suas percepções estavam configuradas dentro de uma visão etnocêntrica, discriminatória, descontextualizada e de subalternidade dos indígenas. O debate inicia-se com o estudo sobre a diversidade, apreciação de filmes e documentários; mas o encontro dialógico entre indígenas e estudantes atua intensamente na modificação das percepções.
Policy Uncertainty and Foreign Exchange Rates: The DCC-GARCH Model of the US / Japanese Foreign Exchange Rate
Authors: Kurasawa Kazutaka
Published: April 2017

Since the breakdown of the Bretton Woods system in the 1970s, the US / Japan foreign exchange rate has been largely influenced by policy changes in the United States and Japan. This study applies the multivariate dynamic conditional correlation (DCC) – generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) models to analyze the time-varying effects of policy uncertainty, measured by the economic policy uncertainty (EPU) index of Baker et al. (2013, 2016), on the US / Japan foreign exchange rate. Using the EPU index as a proxy variable, it shows that the dynamic conditional correlations between policy uncertainty and the exchange rate are not time-invariant, but even sign-changing in the sample period. The analysis also empirically examined what drives the evolution of the time-varying correlations. The driving force of the correlations is, however, mostly attributed to unknown random factors.

Published: April 2017

Substituted bis(iminophosphoranyl)methanes are CH acidic compounds that can form complexes with formally dianionic central carbon centres. The reaction of H2C(Ph2P=NDip)2 (≡ H2L), Dip = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl, with one equivalent of di-n-butylmagnesium afforded the methanide complex [HLMgnBu] 1. Treatment of complex 1 with phenylsilane in aromatic solvents at elevated temperatures afforded the methanediide complex [(LMg)2] 2 presumably via the MgH intermediate [(HLMgH)n] (n = 1 or 2). The reaction of 1 with LiAlH4 in diethyl ether yielded the AlH complex [HLAlH2] 3. Alternatively, this complex was also obtained from the reaction of H2L with AlH3∙NMe3. The molecular structures of [HLMgnBu] 1, [(LMg)2] 2, and [HLAlH2] 3 are reported. Complex 3 shows no sign of H2 elimination to a methanediide species at elevated temperatures in contrast to the facile elimination of the putative reaction intermediate [(HLMgH)n] (n = 1 or 2) to form [(LMg)2] 2. The chemical properties of complex 2 were investigated and this complex appears to be stable against coordination with strong donor molecules.

Peanut Yield and Injury from Thrips with Combinations of Acephate, Bradyrhizobium Inoculant, and Prothioconazole Applied in the Seed Furrow at Planting
Authors: Jordan David L. , Shew Barbara B. , Brandenburg Rick L.
Published: April 2017

Core Ideas

Acephate and prothioconazole did not adversely impact peanut response to Bradyrhizobium inoculant.

Peanut was more responsive to Bradyrhizobium inoculant when planted in fields with no history of peanut production than in fields with recent peanut plantings.

Acephate, Bradyrhizobium inoculant, and prothioconazole can be applied simultaneously in the seed furrow without losing effectiveness of individual components.

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) growers often apply commercial inoculant in the form of Bradyrhizobium to the seed furrow at planting to promote biological nitrogen fixation. Additionally, disease and injury from thrips (Frankliniella spp.) feeding can be reduced when prothioconazole and acephate, respectively, are applied in the seed furrow. Interactions of these products have not been determined for Virginia market‐type peanut. Six experiments were conducted during 2009 and 2010 to define interactions of acephate, Bradyrhizobium inoculant, and prothioconazole when co‐applied in the seed furrow at planting. Acephate and prothioconazole did not affect peanut yield response to Bradyrhizobium inoculant. Peanut yield increased in two of six experiments when Bradyrhizobium inoculant was applied. The increase in yield was observed in fields that did not have a known history of peanut production. Visible thrips damage was lower when prothioconazole was applied in absence of acephate, although acephate was more effective in minimizing injury from thrips than prothioconazole. Although acephate did not affect peanut yield, prothioconazole increased yield in all experiments regardless of acephate or Bradyrhizobium treatment. Results from these experiments indicate that acephate, inoculant containing Bradyrhizobium, and prothioconazole are compatible in peanut production systems.
Sobre las políticas, los imaginarios acerca de las drogas y los estigmas que guían las acciones sociales
Authors: Posada Zapata Isabel Cristina
Published: April 2017

Desde hace muchos años, organismos internacionales, instituciones gubernamentales, expertos y comunidades de base, han estado insistiendo en la necesidad de invertir en promoción de comportamientos y contextos saludables y prevención, y no en la represión como forma de dar respuesta al fenómeno creciente de producción y consumo de drogas en el mundo entero. Tal llamado enfatiza en el fracaso que han tenido las políticas que se fundamentan en la negación de los consumos y la restricción absoluta de los comportamientos ligados a los consumidores.¿Cómo entender que los esfuerzos se hubieran enfocado durante años en una lucha frontal contra las drogas? ¿Cómo comprender que muchas de estas políticas no hicieran diferenciación alguna entre quienes producen y comercializan sustancias ilegales y aquellos que las adquieren y consumen?

Authors: Dueñas Ramírez Laura Ximena , Riveros Reina María Cristina
Published: April 2017

Este artículo presenta la investigación realizada con el objeto de comprender las pautas que se confi guran en la relación terapéutica y la manera como dicha relación influye en la construcción del cambio, tomando como modelo la reconfiguración de identidad de los consultantes, en tres procesos interventivos asociados al consumo de alcohol, juego online y trastornos de la conducta alimentaria. Se asume una perspectiva sistémica compleja, apoyada en una metodología cualitativa y un análisis holístico de la información; se realiza un ejercicio comparativo entre los tres casos, a lo largo de tres momentos del proceso terapéutico, lo cual posibilita establecer diferencias y similitudes entre estas problemáticas en pro de su comprensión clínica y terapéutica; los resultados arrojan en el terceto de casos la importancia innegable de la relación terapéutica en los procesos de cambio, destacando una relación humana, colaborativa y respetuosa, en la que sea posible hablar de la comunicación misma y hacer explícito el proceso afectivo, emocional y refl exivo que se va generando, de modo que la relación se constituya en un vehículo seguro y confi able de transición hacia nuevas formas de concebir y experimentar el mundo, a otros y a sí mismo, parámetros que dan cuenta de la reconfi guración de la identidad. Ello implica la exigencia de realizar ajustes particulares en cada caso en lo atinente a la coordinación interactiva, el contacto comunicativo, las actitudes emocionales y las comprensiones en torno al problema- en la relación entre paciente y terapeuta en función de la pauta misma del problema, del marco de referencia de los consultantes y de los procesos autorreferenciales del terapeuta.
Drogas y educación: una revisión bibliográfica
Authors: Losada Salgado Néncer , Chica Lasso Marco Fidel
Published: April 2017

El presente artículo busca centrarse en la revisión bibliográfica alrededor del tema “drogas y educación”. Aunque muchos son las naciones que han investigado acerca de esta temática, como apuesta metodológica solo fueron tomadas aquellas investigaciones realizadas en países involucrados directamente en la lucha antidrogas, ya sea desde la orilla de la oferta (países latinoamericanos)  y  desde el lado de la demanda (España y Estados Unidos).  Tomando en cuenta este criterio de delimitación de las investigaciones, se procedió a organizarlas según su naturaleza, en cuanto si eran de orden teórico, o de trabajo de campo.  Ahora bien, la finalidad de esta revisión bibliográfica es, en un primer momento, hacer una descripción de cada una de las investigaciones realizadas, para posteriormente efectuar un análisis crítico, en el que se incluye el hecho de que todas las investigaciones parten de conceptos como: drogas y prevención, como si fueran estos mismos incuestionables.

Authors: Velasco Angélica , Gil Víctor
Published: April 2017

La pornografía puede definirse como el material audiovisual que presenta de forma explícita actividades sexuales y genitales de manera inocultable, con el objetivo de excitar al espectador. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar las principales causas y consecuencias de la adicción a la pornografía en hombres y mujeres. Se empleó la metodología de la revisión sistemática de literatura (RSL), tomando como referencia investigaciones previas publicadas en bases de datos científicas y publicaciones web especializadas. Este trabajo concluye que la adicción a la pornografía puede generar problemas físicos, mentales, psicológicos y sociales, que son equiparables con los que genera la adicción al consumo de sustancias psicoactivas. Establecer estrategias de autocontrol, incrementar la actividad física y la participación en actividades sociales son algunas de las alternativas que pueden ayudar a combatir y prevenir la adicción.
Prevención del consumo de sustancias psicoactivas. Revisión teórica de los modelos y estrategias preventivas
Authors: Llano Sierra Laura , Martínez Saldarriaga Mayra Gisella , Torres Benítez Mariana , Ochoa Parra Jessica Magaly , Peláez Olarte Daniela
Published: April 2017

Se entienden los modelos conceptuales en prevención como construcciones que se han venido desarrollando lentamente, los cuales responden a contextos en los que se reflexiona acerca de la construcción teórica y la acción práctica. Dichos constructos, se van adaptando a la situación cultural, política, económica del país, teniendo en cuenta la posible relación entre los modelos preventivos y las necesidades. Lo ideal sería implementar, en cualquier acción que involucre lo teórico y lo práctico, referentes investigativos que retomen diversas perspectivas para asumir el fenómeno del consumo de sustancias psicoactivas (SPA) y, por tanto, de la prevención del mismo, teniendo presente a la sustancia, al individuo y al contexto y tomando al ser humano y al consumo de SPA como un proceso dinámico compuesto por variables: psicológicas, sociales-culturales-políticas y biológicas que requieren intervención. Lo anterior se puede lograr revisando modelos teóricos que centren su atención en cada una de las variables mencionadas, para construir un modelo integrativo que dé respuesta a la globalidad de la problemática, y del que sea posible evaluar constantemente la vigencia, posibilidades de aplicación, pertinencia y relevancia. A partir del abordaje de modelos teóricos basados en las representaciones sociales, se trata la prevención referida al conjunto de creencias de un sistema cultural como tal y se menciona la necesidad de intervenir en las percepciones -estructura del pensamiento de un sujeto social inscrito en un periodo histórico y en una situación específica-, percibiendo el consumo desde otra perspectiva. Cabe mencionar que el objetivo del presente artículo es realizar una revisión teórica sobre los modelos y estrategias preventivas del consumo de sustancias psicoactivas, con el fin de orientar hipótesis partiendo de la implementación de programas de prevención.

Authors: Li Wang , Lei Lei , Yun Zhou , Jiangtao Fu
Published: April 2017

Titanium carburizing electrodes were used as the electrodes in a capacitive deionization (CDI) process for desalination in this study. Two methods of high vacuum magnetron sputtering and chemical deposition were used for the preparation of nano-titanium carburizing electrodes (named Ti-C* and Ti-C**). By comparing the adsorption capacities of different kinds of electrode material, combined with physical and chemical characteristics and electrochemical analysis, the method of high vacuum magnetron sputtering to prepare Ti-C* electrodes have been proved successful for the CDI process. The results show that under the same conditions, the adsorption capacity of Ti-C* and Ti-C**were 9.6 mg/g and 7.12 mg/g, respectively. The Ti-C* electrodes showed a higher ion electrosorption capacity than Ti-C** and the electrodes can be easily regenerated, indicating excellent recyclability. This study provided a novel method to fabricate titanium carburizing electrodes in CDI process and might lead to the improvement of the CDI desalination performance in an industrial practical application.

Political goals during liquidation of masonic organizations by Joint State Political Directorate – People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs in USSR in the 1920s–1930s
Authors: Ermakov Vyacheslav Alekseevich , Androsov Andrey Anatolievich
Published: April 2017

This research is dedicated to the political specificity of elimination of «masonic underground organization» by soviet special forces in USSR. The issue of relations between communist movements with political masonry was also considered in the article. It appears that in the beginning of 1920s «freemasons» planned prospects in cooperation with Bolsheviks, while having hidden goal to «cover» Soviet government with masonic ideas. Masons of 1920s were quite satisfied with Bolshevism as a weapon to eradicate Russian national self-awareness and its Orthodox religion. Liquidation process of masonic underground, which started in 1925, was conditioned by inner-party strife between «Stalinists», conducting anti-masonic and anti-Zionist campaigns, and «Trotskyists», who appeared to be a weapon of international masonic politics in Soviet Russia. Authors conclude that liquidation of occult-masonic underground in USSR had several political goals: covering communist party leaders' masonic past, elimination masons as potential western secret service agents, threatening conservative intelligentsia, exposure masonic people from the environment of Soviet officials and cultural elites, extermination masonic alternative of communistic ideology and preparation of «grand terror» against «Lenin's guard».

Overview of models of microsurgical operations for processing manual skills of surgeons
Authors: Artsimovich Ilia Valerievich , Asadulaev Marat Sergeevich
Published: April 2017

The article is devoted to the review of models about the most well-known and generally accepted techniques for practicing techniques and manual skills in the field of microsurgical practice. The technical aspects of model implementation are discussed in detail, as well as recommendations for their implementation. It is shown that the development of manual skills on such models contributes to a faster and more accurate development of microsurgical techniques and avoids a large number of errors, as in the presented models we use tissue models and laboratory animals whose vessels practically do not differ from human vessels.

Incorporación de la energía solar en las tecnologías del agua: desalación solar para la provisión de agua en zonas remotas
Authors: Blanco Gálvez Julián , Alarcón Padilla Diego
Published: April 2017

El siglo XX ha traído un desarrollo sin precedentes en la historia de la humanidad con avances impresionantes en todas las disciplinas de la ciencia y de la técnica. Sin embargo dichos avances no han sido algo gratuito, sino que han tenido un precio que no sería descabellado considerar que, bajo determinados prismas, ha sido excesivo. Durante los últimos 100 años, la población humana en la Tierra se ha multiplicado por un factor de 4 (pasando de 1.600 millones de personas en 1.900 a los más de 6.000 millones de la actualidad). Sin embargo el consumo de agua se ha multiplicado por 9 en el mismo periodo y el consumo de energía por 16, y ello con una degradación asociada del medio ambiente y los recursos naturales, en general, muy significativa.
Monitorización de calidad de aguas y control de procesos mediante sensores químicos de fibra óptica
Authors: Orellana Moraleda Guillermo
Published: April 2017

Nuestro equipo investigador, en colaboración con la empresa Grupo Interlab, S.A. (Madrid), lleva varios años involucrado en un ambicioso proyecto que ha llevado al mercado un instrumento optoelectrónico para análisis y control medioambiental e industrial. El sistema multicanal utiliza sensores y biosensores sobre fibra óptica basados en indicadores específicos resultantes de la ingeniería molecular y fotoquímica de complejos luminiscentes de Ru(II). De esta forma, se ha conseguido un novedoso dispositivo capaz de monitorizar simultáneamente por vía óptica, in situ y en continuo, diversos parámetros esenciales en calidad de aguas y procesos industriales (oxígeno, temperatura, pH, amonio, DBO, hidrocarburos, detergentes y pesticidas de tipo carbamato) mediante el simple cambio de terminal sensible situado en el extremo de la fibra óptica, ya que todos los indicadores preparados a medida se excitan por la misma luz y emiten luminiscencia en la misma región espectral. La presentación detallará el camino seguido desde el diseño y preparación de estos últimos hasta la validación de campo de los dispositivos desarrollados.
El "lenguaje" de los animales no humanos en el comentario de al-Fārābī a De Interpretationes de Aristóteles
Authors: López-Farjeat Luis Xavier
Published: April 2017

En De interpretatione Aristóteles distingue entre voces articuladas e inarticuladas. Mientras que la voz articulada se compone de una combinación de vocales y consonantes, la voz inarticulada equivale a cualquier sonido emitido por animales no humanos. Sin embargo, al-Fārābī cuestiona esta visión. En su Gran Comentario a De Interpretatione, corrige la postura de Aristóteles y desarrolla una argumentación que toma en cuenta algunas consideraciones sobre el comportamiento de los animales no humanos en algunos de los tratados de Aristóteles sobre los animales. Tras presentar la postura de al-Fārābī en torno al “lenguaje” en los animales no humanos, discuto brevemente hasta qué punto las capacidades de los animales no humanos para expresarse y comunicarse amplían nuestra comprensión de lo que podríamos entender por lenguaje.
Mímesis y máthesis: acerca de sus conexiones en la Poética de Aristóteles
Authors: Castillo Merlo Mariana
Published: April 2017

El objetivo de este artículo es mostrar la relevancia de la máthesis para la concepción de la mímesis aristotélica. A partir de las observaciones de la Poética, delimitaré las características del aprendizaje tomando como eje su objeto, modalidad y consecuencias. Para ello analizaré, en primer lugar, el objeto sobre el que recae el aprendizaje mimético, esto es, los hombres que actúan. Luego examinaré la modalidad de presentación de sus acciones para que sea posible el aprendizaje, prestando especial atención al papel que desempeña el error trágico o hamartía. Finalmente, resaltaré los aspectos por los que, a mi entender, la mímesis tiene consecuencias éticas y políticas relevantes en el marco del proyecto educativo de Aristóteles, y que permiten pasar de una consideración de la mímesis en el plano individual a una consideración sobre su función en el ámbito político.
