DEFESA E SEGURANÇA:
Authors: Barradas Jaqueline Santos
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo tem por finalidade reunir e sistematizar o conceito de defesa e segurança no Brasil, bem como abordar o entrecruzamento com outras disciplinas, como os Estudos Estratégicos, as Ciências Militares, a Ciência Política e as Relações Internacionais, buscando encontrar proximidades epistêmicas. Tal esforço se deu em função de compreender os temas Defesa e Segurança para ambientar os leitores de uma pesquisa de doutorado, cujo objetivo era identificar os componentes básicos do processo de comunicação científica para a institucionalização do campo de defesa no Brasil. Trata-se de um levantamento bibliográfico para entendimento do conceito e do contexto de Defesa e Segurança. Para tanto, apresenta conceitos definidos por teóricos e pesquisadores e os contidos em documentos normativos do governo federal brasileiro. Evidencia-se a falta de consenso acerca dos conceitos pelos pesquisadores no Brasil, o que se reflete também na indefinição sobre qual área do conhecimento a Defesa e a Segurança devem pertencer (Ciência Política, Sociais ou Humanas, ou Multidisciplinar). A autora conclui que há a necessidade de se aprofundarem os estudos e o diálogo, buscando clarificar conceitos e as relações entre as disciplinas.

Diagnostic criteria and management of metabolic syndrome: Evolution overtime
Authors: Rojas Edward , Castro Ana , Manzano Alexander , Suarez Maria Karina , Lameda Victor , Carrasquero Ruben , Nava Manuel , Bermudez Valmore
Published: December 2020

The beginnings of the Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) as
a suspected, not yet recognized entity can be traced
back to 1923 when a study concerning a particularly
common clustering of metabolic entities observed
in diabetic patients was first published. Years of
research and endless debate yielded the currently
accepted MetS definition and diagnostic criteria,
even if some components and their cut-off points are
still up for discussion. To date, MetS are defined as
a clustering of metabolic risk factors that greatly
increase the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD)
and type 2 diabetes (T2D), while also being closely
related to various potentially deadly comorbidities.
Furthermore, since early detection and management
of MetS have been shown to decrease the risk for CVD
and T2D, current research has focused on unifying
diagnostic criteria and proposing novel parameters
to facilitate MetS identification, while also promoting
a healthy lifestyle as a preventive measure. With a
deeper understanding of MetS pathophysiology comes
the broadening of therapeutic targets open for study,
thus expanding and enhancing the treatment methods
currently in use. This review aims to summarize the
evolution of MetS as a concept, development of the
diagnostic criteria, current management, and future
directions.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, a risk factor for SARS-CoV-2 morbidity and mortality?
Authors: Pluchino Salvatore
Published: December 2020

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a
major health problem difficult to treat due to underlying
neutrophilic inflammation resistant to inhaled
corticosteroids in most patients. Increased blood and
sputum eosinophils are associated with more frequent
exacerbation. Novel coronavirus SRAS-CoV-2 has
infected humans in all age groups of all ethnicities.
COVID-19-patients with comorbidities are more likely
to develop a more severe course and progression of
the disease. As an inflammatory disease of the lung,
COPD was expected to be frequent comorbidity of
COVID-19. Analysis of available data revealed a low
prevalence of chronic pulmonary diseases in patients
with COVID-19. However, the presence of preexisting
COPD is associated with a nearly fourfold higher risk
of developing severe COVID-19. The demographic
characteristic of the population has a great impact on
case-fatality reporting. Clear definition of COVID-19
related deaths and transparency in testing policies are
essential for reporting comparable case-fatality rates
among countries.

O irreconciliável nos editais do PNLD: eurocentrismo, cidadania e ensino de história
Authors: Bichara Taissa Cordeiro
Published: December 2020

O estudo trata de análise sobre os sentidos atribuídos às categorias eurocentrismo, cidadania e ensino de história encaminhados pelos editais de convocação para o processo de inscrição e avaliação de obras didáticas e literárias publicados no Diário Oficial da União, pelo Ministério da Educação (MEC), submetidos ao Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) e destinados aos Anos Finais do Ensino Fundamental, entre 1996 e 2018. Nestes, residem pressupostos que orientam o processo de avaliação do PNLD e relacionam-se com a produção das narrativas literárias didáticas. Neste sentido, argumenta-se que a busca pela formação de cidadania, associada ao ensino de história, situa determinados agentes históricos em posição de submissão ao universo identificado com a civilização ocidental - predominantemente branca e cristã - reforçando a matriz de referencial eurocêntrico nos livros didáticos de história.

La question du « travail » occupe une place paradoxale dans l’histoire de l’anthropologie puisqu’elle y est présente de longue date mais a le plus souvent été traitée en creux ou de façon instrumentale, sans donner lieu à un champ véritablement formalisé. Mettre en tension usages extensifs et intensifs du terme « travail » et ventiler les analyses selon les échelles mobilisées ouvre une voie pour modéliser les études anthropologiques en la matière.

Pharmaceuticals are one of the most profitable business today, being unsatisfied with this profit, many of them have involved in sale of fake and expired medicines. The usage of these bogus medicines are high in developing countries and this has been constantly increasing to a very large number resulting in the death of many innocent people because of ineffective medicines. The number of deaths has been quite increasing because of lack of adequate knowledge about solving these issues. In an attempt to put an end to this problem, we have proposed a methodology in our paper. This system can be implied around the globe to sole the present problems, its prerequisite is centralization of the medicine manufacturers. A connecting link is formed between the manufacturer and the customer, which prevents the dealer’s illegal activities. This link is achieved by providing customers with e-bills generated from the company. This method helps in monitoring the prices of the various drugs and preventing the usage of outdated medicines.
Model Reference Adaptive Controlled Application to the Vector Controlled Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Drive
Authors: Kumar P.sai , Kumar J.S.V. Siva
Published: December 2020

This paper presents the parameters of permanent magnet synchronous motor i.e. speed (r), stator resistance (RS), q-axis inductance (Lq), and torque (Ts) is to be estimated by using Model Reference adaptive System(MRAS). To improve the performance
of speed sensor less permanent magnet synchronous motor drives, especially at low speeds by identifying stator resistance together with speed. Several speed estimation methods for sensor less PMSM drives have been proposed but the Performance is not satisfactory at low speed. Model-based speed and stator resistance estimators are the most common schemes used in the literature. The stator resistance varies with the
temperature of the machine, so it should be estimated adaptively. The proposed technique is completely Independent of stator resistance (Rs) and is less
parameter sensitive, as the estimation-algorithm is only dependent on q-axis stator inductance (Lq). Also, the method requires less computational effort as the
simplified expressions are used in the MRAS. In this proposed scheme sensor less technique is used, the aim at eliminating mechanical sensor, which are rather
expensive and delicate, especially if accurate mounting and calibration are necessary, and at obtaining rotor position and angular velocity from the measurement of
only electrical quantities. But the precision of position estimation often depends on motor’s parameters. To control PMSM position and speed sensors are indispensable. So the vector control technique is used for the control the PMSM position and speed sensor. MATLAB/ simulink based simulation is discussed.

(Des)construção da gestão ambiental no Brasil: De Paulo Nogueira Neto (1973) a Ricardo Salles (2020)
Authors: Pereira de Gusmão Paulo , Borges Medeiros Pavão Bianca
Published: December 2020

Este texto é composto por duas partes principais. Na primeira, destacam-se algumas das passagens mais importantes da construção de um sistema brasileiro de gestão ambiental. Esse processo construtivo (1973-2010) esteve, nos doze anos iniciais, em grande parte associado à figura de Paulo Nogueira Neto, responsável pela condução da primeira agência ambiental federal. Com base nesses elementos, formula-se uma linha do tempo desdobrada em fases. Na segunda parte, analisam-se as mudanças normativas introduzidas no sistema na década 2010-2020, e sobretudo no último biênio desta. Essa análise evidencia uma ruptura e, consequentemente, a crise de desempenho e credibilidade do sistema brasileiro de gestão ambiental. Essa ruptura marca, assim, a contraposição entre dois “modelos”: o que foi construído ao longo do período 1970/2010 e o segundo que resulta da sua desconstrução, que tem na promulgação do novo Código Florestal (Lei nº 12.651/2012) um dos seus marcos mais importantes. Essa evidente bipolaridade é resultado de uma conjuntura própria da década 2010-2020, dentro da qual destaca-se o papel, a intencionalidade e a sistematicidade das ações levadas a cabo nos primeiros vinte meses do atual governo federal.
A PICARESCA DESDE A ACULTURAÇÃO É SUBLIMAÇÃO
Authors: Assis Adriana Carolina Hipólito de
Published: December 2020

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo verificar o processo de aculturação mexicano a partir da leitura de Serge Gruzinski, Jacques Lafaye observando a obliteração do índio via hibridização e miscigenação consanguínea e que esse processo possibilitou a partir da negação dos desejos uma escritura sublimada e, sobretudo imitada – pois a maioria dos índios mexicanos catequisados eram gentis imitadores de seus senhores – que reescrevia a memória de seu povo hibridizando a religião e a imago dos desejos para serem aceitos. Esse processo de aculturação apresenta um substrato que também pode ser lido de forma analítica. Cabe ainda discutir que essas imitações - ícone da fome na psique e da presença do real lacaniano -, relaciona-se aos textos e a arte picaresca, bastante explorada por Octavio Paz no ensaio Conjunciones y Disyunciones, que discute por dentro a Picardia Mexicana, de Armando Jimenez.
A LITERATURA GÓTICA DE AUTORIA FEMININA NA INGLATERRA DOS SÉCULOS XVIII E XIX: RESISTÊNCIA À IDEOLOGIA HEGEMÔNICA
Authors: Ferrari Pandim Lisboa Teixeira Rosana , Melo Ribeiro de Lima Priscilla
Published: December 2020

O objetivo central deste artigo é compreender como a escrita de horror gótico por mulheres se configurou enquanto narrativa de resistência à ideologia hegemônica. Primeiramente, traçamos um panorama histórico da Inglaterra dos séculos XVIII e XIX e as proposições ideológicas a que marcaram. Depois, uma análise do gênero gótico enquanto sintoma da Modernidade capitalista, capaz de capturar suas angústias, fissuras e conteúdos recalcados. A partir disso, pensamos na possibilidade de escrita feminina do gótico que se desenvolveu neste período enquanto um discurso de resistência, de denúncia e crítica social. Estes elementos deram suporte a uma leitura de Frankenstein, de Mary Shelley, epítome do gótico, enquanto obra primordial para a compreensão da resistência feminina ao empunhar a caneta. Para tanto, foram necessários os escritos de Marx, Eagleton e Federici acerca da ideologia e da condição feminina, a concepção de narrativas de resistência de Bosi e a análise da escrita por mulheres de Gilbert e Gubar, sobre um pano de fundo psicanalítico. As escritoras femininas conseguiram, ao ousar uma incursão na escrita, escrever as suas histórias e a de tantas outras mulheres. Shelley, em especial, ao gerar e dar voz a uma criatura que corporifica os dilemas da sociedade e as angústias de grupos marginalizados.Palavras-chave: discurso de resistência; Frankenstein; escrita feminina; ideologia; gótico.
Impact of cost of substitution and joint replenishment on inventory decisions for joint substitutable and complementary items under asymmetrical substitution
Authors: Mishra Rajesh Kumar , Mishra Vinod Kumar
Published: December 2020

In this paper, impact of cost of substitution and joint replenishment on inventory decisions for joint substitutable and complementary items under asymmetrical substitution has been studied. The phenomenon of substitution is considered in a stock-out situation and when items become out of stock due to demand then unfulfilled demand is asymmetrically substituted by another item. We formulate the inventory model mathematically and derived optimal ordering quantities, optimal total costs and extreme value of substitution rate for all possible cases. Moreover, pseudo-convexity of the total inventory cost function is obtained and the solution procedure is provided. Numerical example and sensitivity analysis have been presented to validate the effectiveness of the inventory model and substantial improvement in total optimal inventory cost with substitution with respect to optimal total inventory cost without substitution is seen.
Partial flexible job shop scheduling considering preventive maintenance and priorities
Authors: Farahani Ameneh , Tohidi Hamid , Khalaj Mehran , Shoja Ahmad
Published: December 2020

In this paper, a new mathematical programming model is proposed for a partial flexible job shop scheduling problem with an integrated solution approach. The purpose of this model is the assignment of production operations to machines with the goal of simultaneously minimizing operating costs and penalties. These penalties include delayed delivery, deviation from a fixed time point for preventive maintenance, and deviation from the priorities of each machine. Considering the priorities for machines in partial flexible job shop scheduling problems can be a contribution in closer to the reality of production systems. For validation and evaluation of the effectiveness of the model, several numerical examples are solved by using the Baron solver in GAMS. Sensitivity analysis is performed for the model parameters. The results further indicate the relationship between scheduling according to priorities of each machine and production scheduling.
Jornalismo e Mito

Published: December 2020

Este trabalho se desafia a compreender as transformações no imaginário do Jornalismo na passagem do período industrial para o pós-industrial, quando a mídia de massas dá lugar à massa de mídias. Para tanto, busca ampliar o olhar das Teorias do Jornalismo a partir do aporte da Teoria Geral do Imaginário, de modo a compreender as variâncias e reminiscências nas imagens que permeiam o campo epistemológico deste objeto em crise. A leitura simbólica foi construída a partir da mitocrítica de obras clássicas para a epistemologia do jornalismo no Brasil, ainda em seu momento industrial, servindo como fundamento para tensionar as dinâmicas pós-industriais. A análise nos permitiu compreender que as imagens que constelam no imaginário do jornalismo são dinamizadas a partir de suas respostas imaginantes a pulsões ancestrais: Mitos do Tempo, Mitos Especulares, Mitos do Progresso e Mitos da Ordem. A partir deste arcabouço simbólico-mítico, delineamos as imagens evocadas pelo contemporâneo.
Functional-Voxel Method in Problems of Geometric Modeling of Thermal Characteristics of Objects
Authors: Plaksin Aleksandr , Tolok Alexey
Published: December 2020

The paper presents an approach developed on the basis of the functional voxel method to the geometric representation of the thermal expansion of objects and temperature stresses in a material when exposed to a surface of a heat source. A discrete geometric law of a single temperature stress in an isotropic heat-conducting body is derived, applicable in the concept of functional voxel modeling. Based on this law, functional-voxel models of thermal stress are developed for a single and distributed application of a heat source. Algorithms of functional-voxel modeling of temperature stress and expansion in the case of distributed thermal loading are presented, which make it possible to construct a loading region of a complex configuration, uniformly form a contour (surface) after material expansion and obtain information about changes in the length (volume) of products. The advantages of the proposed functional-voxel approach to modeling thermal expansion and stress over approaches based on the FEM are substantiated.

Authors: Bodnar Ivanna , Pavlova Iuliia , Khamade Ali
Published: December 2020

Introduction

Studies of the effect of physical activity on indicators of physical and social health, as well as communication
skills remain relevant owing to the lack of clear recommendations regarding the types, organization, and substantive content
of sports and exercise interventional programs, as well as means of physical education (PE) effective for autism spectrum
disorders (ASD) treatment and correction and improving the participants’ quality of life.

Methods

Studies of the effect of physical activity on indicators of physical and social health, as well as communication
skills remain relevant owing to the lack of clear recommendations regarding the types, organization, and substantive content
of sports and exercise interventional programs, as well as means of physical education (PE) effective for autism spectrum
disorders (ASD) treatment and correction and improving the participants’ quality of life.

Results

In the scientific studies of 2000–2019 concerning the effect of applying PE programs for children with ASD, the participants were usually heterogeneous in age, level of functional capabilities, and intelligence quotient. The duration of the experiment
was short (8–14 weeks); the frequency of interventions was different, the training sessions lasted 45–60 minutes. PE activities
with proven effectiveness were swimming and water games, running, walking, imitation of riding, elements of yoga and oriental
martial arts.

Conclusions

It is worth conducting a randomized study with a representative sample, within a group of the same age, intelligence quotient, daily physical activity, functional capabilities that would investigate indicators of all groups (physical, cognitive,
behavioural, communicative) in an integrated manner, with a particular focus on those that are of interest to practice

Introduction

To evaluate the effects of shock wave therapy on the fibrous septa of cellulite in Brazilian women

Methods

The sample consisted of 20 women with gluteal cellulite (grade III) evaluated through protocols and ultrasound examinations before and after treatment. The volunteers were randomly distributed into treatment group (TG) and control group (CG). TG received shock wave therapy, while CG volunteers received vibratory massage. The shock wave parameters were:
intensity of 3.5 bar, frequency of 21 Hz, and 1500 pulses per application. Both groups underwent 6 treatment sessions, 1 per
week, of 30 minutes each.

Results

Data were analysed by the SPSS software, with a significance level of 5% and a 95% confidence interval. TG presented a significant reduction of septa in the right gluteus (p = 0.001) and left gluteus (p = 0.000). Only the right gluteus revealed
fat layer reduction (p = 0.043). There was no reduction in CG for these variables (p > 0.05). In the intergroup comparison, only
the septum thickness measurement of the left gluteus showed some reduction, generating a significant value (p = 0.008). Although no change in the other variables was observed in any of the groups (p > 0.05), the participants reported improvement
in quality of life.

Conclusions

The shock wave protocol applied in this study significantly reduced the fat layer and cellulite septa.
Practising physical therapy affects professionals in Egypt
Authors: Ameer Mariam A. , Ashour Ahmed A.
Published: December 2020

Introduction

Physiotherapy is one of many professions at a high risk of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs).
The authors focused on job risk factors, frequency of occurrence, pain severity, and features of WMSDs among physical therapists in 11 governorates of Egypt

Methods

A survey research interview including a standardized questionnaire was conducted with 220 physiotherapists from
different clinics and hospitals in 11 governorates of Egypt

Results

The most frequently involved body parts were the lower back (56.82%), followed by the neck and upper back (14.55%
and 11.82%, respectively). Physiotherapists who worked at clinics were mostly affected. Physiotherapists working in the orthopaedic field were exposed to most work risk factors (63.18%), followed by those in the paediatric and neurological fields (25.91%
and 10.91%, respectively). Moreover, 66.82% of the physiotherapists were affected while using manual therapy methods in
comparison with electro-manual and electrical methods. Female physiotherapists were more involved than their male counterparts (62.73% and 37.27%, respectively). There was a moderate positive correlation among the pain level of the affected body
segment, the number of cases managed by the physiotherapist per day, and the number of work hours per day.

Conclusions

The results suggest that physiotherapists should follow a specific strategy to protect their bodies, especially
the back areas. The use of engineering and administrative controls like a proper clinic design, application of electronic and computerized devices, and management of work time may help reduce the incidence of WMSDs.

Abstract. The NASA Rapid Ozone Experiment (ROZE) is a broadband
cavity-enhanced UV (ultraviolet) absorption instrument for the detection of in situ ozone
(O3). ROZE uses an incoherent LED (light-emitting diode) light source coupled to a
high-finesse optical cavity to achieve an effective pathlength of
∼ 104 m. Due to its high sensitivity and small optical cell
volume, ROZE demonstrates a 1σ precision of 80 pptv (parts per trillion by volume) in 0.1 s and 31 pptv in a 1 s integration time, as well as an e-fold time response of 50 ms. ROZE can be
operated in a range of field environments, including low- and high-altitude
research aircraft, and is particularly suited to O3 vertical-flux
measurements using the eddy covariance technique. ROZE was successfully
integrated aboard the NASA DC-8 aircraft during July–September 2019 and
validated against a well-established chemiluminescence measurement of
O3. A flight within the marine boundary layer also demonstrated flux
measurement capabilities, and we observed a mean O3 deposition velocity
of 0.029 ± 0.005 cm s−1 to the ocean surface. The performance
characteristics detailed below make ROZE a robust, versatile instrument for
field measurements of O3.
Brief communication: Heterogenous thinning and subglacial lake activity on Thwaites Glacier, West Antarctica
Authors: Hoffman Andrew O. , Christianson Knut , Shapero Daniel , Smith Benjamin E. , Joughin Ian
Published: December 2020

Abstract. A system of subglacial lakes drained on Thwaites Glacier from 2012–2014. To improve coverage for subsequent drainage events, we extended the
elevation and ice-velocity time series on Thwaites Glacier through austral winter 2019. These new observations document a second drainage cycle in
2017/18 and identified two new lake systems located in the western tributaries of Thwaites and Haynes glaciers. In situ and satellite velocity
observations show temporary < 3 % speed fluctuations associated with lake drainages. In agreement with previous studies, these observations
suggest that active subglacial hydrology has little influence on thinning and retreat of Thwaites Glacier on decadal to centennial timescales.
Projecting circum-Arctic excess-ground-ice melt with a sub-grid representation in the Community Land Model
Authors: Cai Lei , Lee Hanna , Aas Kjetil Schanke , Westermann Sebastian
Published: December 2020

Abstract. To address the long-standing underrepresentation of the influences of highly variable ground ice content on the trajectory of permafrost conditions simulated in Earth system models under a warming climate, we implement a sub-grid representation of excess ground ice within permafrost soils using the latest version of the Community Land Model (CLM5). Based on the original CLM5 tiling hierarchy, we duplicate the natural vegetated
land unit by building extra tiles for up to three cryostratigraphies with
different amounts of excess ice for each grid cell. For the same total
amount of excess ice, introducing sub-grid variability in excess-ice
contents leads to different excess-ice melting rates at the grid level. In
addition, there are impacts on permafrost thermal properties and local
hydrology with sub-grid representation. We evaluate this new development
with single-point simulations at the Lena River delta, Siberia, where three
sub-regions with distinctively different excess-ice conditions are observed. A triple-land-unit case accounting for this spatial variability conforms well to previous model studies for the Lena River delta and displays markedly different dynamics of future excess-ice thaw compared to a single-land-unit case initialized with average excess-ice contents. For global simulations, we prescribed a tiling scheme combined with our sub-grid representation to the global permafrost region using presently available circum-Arctic ground ice data. The sub-grid-scale excess ice produces significant melting of excess ice under a warming climate and enhances the representation of sub-grid variability of surface subsidence on a global scale. Our model development makes it possible to portray more details on the permafrost degradation trajectory depending on the sub-grid soil thermal regime and excess-ice melting, which also shows a strong indication that accounting for excess ice is a prerequisite of a reasonable projection of permafrost thaw. The modeled permafrost degradation with sub-grid excess ice follows the pathway that continuous permafrost transforms into discontinuous permafrost before it disappears, including surface subsidence and talik formation, which are highly permafrost-relevant landscape changes excluded from most land models. Our development of sub-grid representation of excess ice demonstrates a way forward to improve the realism of excess-ice melt in global land models, but further developments require substantially improved global observational datasets on both the horizontal and vertical distributions of excess ground ice.
Glucose-6-phosphate Dehydrogenase Deficiency: A Review
Authors: Ravikumar Nidhruv , Greenfield Graeme
Published: December 2020

Deficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme is a common X-linked disorder that affects humans globally. It was first identified in the 1950s as a disorder that primarily affects the red blood cells causing a myriad of symptoms including acute haemolytic anaemia, neonatal jaundice and chronic nonspherocytic haemolytic anaemia. The deficiency has been extensively studied and especially in the last 5 years there have been improvements in the diagnosis and management. Various methods of diagnosis exist, however recent research focusses on the use of biosensors for more accurate and less time-consuming diagnosis. Guidelines suggest on controlling symptomology as there exists no specific treatment. Neonatal jaundice is a common complication of the disease and research on phototherapy has proved to show some effect in managing this condition. In the last year, protein-protein interactions have been studied and are used as a target to enhance enzyme stability and activity. AG1 is a small molecule activator that has demonstrated effectiveness in treating G6PD deficiency in models. The purpose of this review is to summarize existing literature and potential areas of research on glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency including clinical characteristics, diagnosis and management.
Letter to the Editor Regarding "Survey among Medical Students during COVID-19 Lockdown: The Online Class Dilemma"
Authors: Thampan Akshara Mavunkal , Pulimoottil Davis Thomas , Philip Angel Cham
Published: December 2020

Neither students nor teachers were prepared for a sudden shift from traditional classroom learning to e-learning without any extensive planning and faculty training. In countries like India, the vast majority of students are underprivileged to access e-learning facilities. To overcome this, special schemes that provide free data daily to attend online classes may be considered. Medical students are also concerned about acquiring practical clinical skills that cannot be provided through e-learning. The drastic reduction in their patient contact time, time spent in wards learning clinical skills, and bedside teaching may have a negative impact on the confidence of medical students with regard to their future career skills. The indefinite extension of their courses is also a concern, as universities have failed to provide appropriate clarity in their communications. Immediate measures need to be instituted so that the efforts of online education may bear fruit. Medical students are a natural reservoir of volunteers and they offer a vast wealth of potential which can be put to use in times of crisis. To harness this potential, medical students should be prepared adequately. The inclusion of “pandemic/crisis specific” content in the medical curriculum may prove to be helpful in tackling these situations in future. This will also help the students to complete their transition from a ‘student’ to a ‘doctor’.

Los incendios hacen referencia a fuegos de grandes proporciones que se desarrolla sin control, el cual puede provocar daños materiales, interrupción de los procesos de producción, pérdida de vidas humanas y afectación al ambiente. Este trabajo se ha realizado con el objetivo de analizar los datos obtenidos mediante los sistemas de información geográfica con los incendios forestales de la Región Costa-Sierra Occidental. La metodología se dividió en tres procesos; 1) detección de los puntos de calor con imágenes satelitales AVHRR y MODIS, 2) caracterización del sitio en el cual se localizan los puntos de calor, su publicación, distribución de la información y 3) relacionarlo con los sistemas atmosféricos presentes al momento del incendio forestal. Comparando los registros de incendios de los años 2015 al 2018, se observó que el 2015 presentó el menor número de incendios registrados, mientras que el 2018 fue mayor el registro de incendios afectando principalmente al bosque pino-encino.
