Authors: Kusnezov Nicholas , Eisenstein Emmanuel , Dunn John C. , Fares Austin , Mitchell Justin , Kilcoyne Kelly , Waterman Brian R.
Published: June 2017

Background: Radial head and neck fractures are the most common elbow fracture in the general adult population; however, the optimal treatment for radial head fractures remains a topic of ongoing clinical controversy. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of return to function, complications, and reoperation following operative management of unstable radial head fractures in a young, active patient population with intense upper extremity demands. Methods: A military health care database was queried for all US military servicemembers undergoing open reduction with internal fixation (ORIF; Current Procedural Terminology [CPT] code: 24665) and radial head arthroplasty (RHA; CPT code: 24666) between 2010 and 2015. All patients with minimum 2-year follow-up were included. Univariate and chi-square analyses were performed to evaluate the association between potential risk factors and the primary outcome measures. Results: A total of 67 ORIF (n = 69 elbows) and 10 RHA patients were included. The average age was 31 ± 8.0 years. At mean follow-up of 3.5 ± 1.1 years, 90% of patients overall were able to return to active military service, 96% of which with unrestricted upper extremity function. Nearly one-third (31.2%) of patients developed at least 1 postoperative complication. RHA has higher overall complication rates (70% vs 48%) when compared with ORIF, but this finding did not reach statistical significance ( P = .073). However, RHA had significantly higher rates of implant failure (20% vs 2.9%, P = .0498). Seventeen (21%) individuals required reoperation, 5 of which (6.3%) were revision procedures. Dislocation, coronoid fracture, and concomitant ligamentous repair portended a significantly increased risk of sustaining 1 or more complications ( P < .05), while dislocation and requirement for ligamentous repair independently predicted revision surgery ( P < .05). Conclusions: Arthroplasty and ORIF are both viable options for treating unstable radial head fractures in a young, athletic population, offering comparable return to function despite increased complications with RHA.

Authors: Marszałek Jolanta , Molik Bartosz , Gomez Miguel-Angel
Published: June 2017

The aim of this study was to illustrate differences in game efficiency in sitting volleyball of male and female elite athletes in terms of players’ impairment. Game analysis was conducted during World Championships in Sitting Volleyball in 2014. Modified Game Performance Sheet for Sitting Volleyball was used to assess players’ actions: attack, serve, block, block of serve, defense, and ball receiving. Coleman’s formulas were counted to obtain game efficiency of athletes. In statistics, Kruskal–Wallis test and Bonferroni correction were used (p value was set equal .005 and .003, respectively, in male and female group). 128 male and 91 female sitting volleyball athletes were included into this study. They were divided into groups in terms of impairment. There were no statistically significant differences in anthropometric parameters in male and female groups of players. Also, there were not statistically significant differences in game efficiency between players with different impairments in male as well as in female groups. This study did not confirm the current classification system in sitting volleyball (division into minimal disabled and disabled athletes). There is a need to continue research and find more evidences to substantiate or to change the current classification procedures in classification system in sitting volleyball.
Church or state? Reassessing how religion shapes impressions of candidate positions
Authors: Simas Elizabeth N. , Ozer Adam L.
Published: June 2017

The literature largely assumes that a candidate’s religious affiliation sends signals about his or her ideological leanings and policy preferences. We contend that prior works have not sufficiently accounted for the effects of the party label. Using an original experimental design that manipulates both religion and party, we show that the effects of a religious cue are more limited than previously implied. Though Evangelical and Catholic cues do impact impressions of a candidate’s stance on abortion, the partisan cue dominates perceptions of overall ideology. These findings further demonstrate the power of the party brand and are more consistent with research arguing for the non-policy value of the religion heuristic.

Published: June 2017

Older patients quite often arrive in an emergency department (ED) with a family member, but little is known about the family member’s health evaluated in ED. The aim of this study was to describe family health in EDs evaluated by family members and nurses. Data were collected from Estonian hospital EDs from 111 family members of older patients and from 93 nurses. Family health in EDs was evaluated as being at a moderate level. Family members reported that family health was better when older patients lived with the family. The more time the family spent in the ED, the worse the health-related activities were. Nurses reported that cardiovascular problems in older patients who presented in EDs disturbed the values of family health. We conclude that ED nurses should recognize the level of family health, in order to ensure that the family will be able to cope at home. Family health in EDs should be reviewed over time to help nurses meet the required needs of the family.
Democratic development and increased militarism in East and Southeast Asian rivalries
Authors: You Chaekwang
Published: June 2017

This article asks the simple question of why East and Southeast Asian rivals have experienced a sharp increase in military activity despite their decisive shift to democracy. To explain this puzzle, I develop a “theory of perverse political accountability” in East and Southeast Asian rivalries. Central to my theory is that perverse political accountability, in which a hawkish leadership adopting a more conflictual policy toward foreign rivals is rewarded by a hard-line constituency or selectorate, makes democratic leaders in rival states highly conflict-prone. In addition, the theory claims that democratic rivals will likely initiate military conflicts against autocratic rivals due to their leaders’ hawkish preferences and to perverse political accountability, and that autocratic rivals will likely initiate conflicts against democratic rivals and against each other due to their leaders’ hawkish preferences and to the absence of perverse political accountability. The article finds strong empirical evidence for these theoretical arguments. The findings contribute to an enhanced understanding of the causes of increased militarism in East and Southeast Asian rivalries.
Empirical Damage Relationships and Benefit-Cost Analysis for the Seismic Retrofit of URM Buildings
Authors: Paxton Brandon , Elwood Kenneth J. , Ingham Jason M.
Published: June 2017

Benefit-cost analyses for the seismic retrofit of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings in downtown Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, were undertaken, considering the seismic hazard, building value, occupant/pedestrian exposure, a variety of strengthening measures, and local construction costs. The analyses are underpinned by building motion-damage relationships developed based on observed damage in past earthquakes in California and New Zealand. The considered upgrading measures ranged from parapet bracing to comprehensive seismic upgrades consistent with local practices. Parapet bracing and other partial retrofits were shown to have favorable benefit-cost ratios and thus be strong candidate measures for risk mitigation programs. Full upgrades were shown to have less favorable benefit-cost ratios. While applied to Victoria, the generality of the methodology and the use of observed damage data from California and New Zealand make the findings of this study particularly relevant for similar locations throughout the Pacific Northwest and abroad.
Guidance on the Utilization of Earthquake-Induced Ground Motion Simulations in Engineering Practice
Authors: Bradley Brendon A. , Pettinga Didier , Baker Jack W. , Fraser Jeff
Published: June 2017

This paper summarizes developed guidance on the utilization of earthquake-induced ground motion simulations for engineering practice. Attention is given to the necessary verification, validation and utilization documentation in order for confidence in the predictive capability of simulated motions to be established. The construct of a ground motion simulation validation matrix is developed for assessing the appropriateness of a particular suite of simulated ground motions from the perspective of region-to-site-specific application and for different specific engineering systems. Appropriate validation metrics and “pass” criteria, the consideration of modeling uncertainties, and limitations associated with a relative lack of validation data are also addressed. An example is utilized in order to demonstrate the application of the guidance. This document is intended to be bidirectional in the sense that it provides guidance for earthquake engineers on the appropriateness of a suite of ground motion simulations for utilization in a site-specific context, as well as ground motion simulators to understand the context in which their results will be utilized.

Published: June 2017

Purpose

[18F]Sodium fluoride (NaF) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) is a promising radiotracer for quantitative assessment of bone metastases. This study assesses changes in early NaF PET/CT response measures in metastatic prostate cancer for correlation to clinical outcomes.

Patients and Methods

Fifty-six patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with osseous metastases had NaF PET/CT scans performed at baseline and after three cycles of chemotherapy (n = 16) or androgen receptor pathway inhibitors (n = 40). A novel technology, Quantitative Total Bone Imaging, was used for analysis. Global imaging metrics, including maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) and total functional burden (SUVtotal), were extracted from composite lesion–level statistics for each patient and tracked throughout treatment. Progression-free survival (PFS) was calculated as a composite end point of progressive events using conventional imaging and/or physician discretion of clinical benefit; NaF imaging was not used for clinical evaluation. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were conducted between imaging metrics and PFS.

Results

Functional burden (SUVtotal) assessed midtreatment was the strongest univariable PFS predictor (hazard ratio, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.44 to 2.71; P < .001). Classification of patients based on changes in functional burden showed stronger correlation to PFS than did the change in number of lesions. Various global imaging metrics outperformed baseline clinical markers in predicting outcome, including SUVtotal and SUVmean. No differences in imaging response or PFS correlates were found for different treatment cohorts.

Conclusion

Quantitative total bone imaging enables comprehensive disease quantification on NaF PET/CT imaging, showing strong correlation to clinical outcomes. Total functional burden assessed after three cycles of hormonal therapy or chemotherapy was predictive of PFS for men with mCRPC. This supports ongoing development of NaF PET/CT–based imaging biomarkers in mCRPC to bone.
An Automated Critical Event Screening and Notification System to Facilitate Preanesthesia Record Review
Authors: Wax David B. , McCormick Patrick J. , Joseph Thomas T. , Levin Matthew A.
Published: June 2017

BACKGROUND:

Anesthesia information management systems make prior anesthesia records readily available for review when patients return for a subsequent procedure but may create a problem of too much documentation to review in a limited amount of time. We implemented a screening tool to facilitate the identification of critical documentation for review.

METHODS:

An algorithm was developed to electronically search prior anesthesia records for predefined critical events and flag records containing these events. Our web-based daily case schedule was modified to contain a warning message for any patient on the schedule who has a prior record flagged by the system, in addition to a preexisting hyperlink to view the relevant record. A retrospective analysis was performed to determine the impact of the warning messages on the frequency with which the care team reviewed these records before providing anesthesia care.

RESULTS:

The screening algorithm flagged 13% of archived cases as critical. There were 3329 and 3369 cases in the 6 months before and after system implementation, respectively, that had prior critical records available for review at that time. One or more of these critical records were viewed before the subsequent case start in 39% vs 59% (P < .01) of cases in the pre- versus postimplementation periods. Subgroup analysis revealed that the increase was greatest for attending anesthesiologists working alone.

CONCLUSIONS:

We created a system to automatically detect critical events in prior anesthesia records for the purpose of forewarning the anesthesia care team when the same patient returns for another procedure. Inclusion of these warnings on the daily case schedule was associated with an increased frequency of preanesthesia review of old records.

Authors: Imai Hidekazu , Ohashi Nobuko , Yoshida Takayuki , Okamoto Takeshi , Kitamura Nobutaka , Tanaka Takahiro , Baba Hiroshi
Published: June 2017

Persistent endoleaks may lead to adverse events after endovascular aortic repair. We prospectively examined the relationship between intraoperative residual spontaneous echocardiographic contrast (SEC) within the aneurysmal sac and the incidence of postoperative endoleaks in 60 patients undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Patients with SEC had a higher incidence of postoperative endoleaks than did patients without SEC within a few days postoperatively (60.0% vs 12.5%, respectively; P < .001) and at 6 months postoperatively (40.0% vs 2.5%, respectively; P < .001). Intraoperative confirmation of the absence of SEC may identify patients at low risk for persistent endoleaks after thoracic endovascular aortic repair.

Published: June 2017

Acute kidney injury after cardiac surgery is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Methods for measuring urine output in real time may better ensure renal perfusion perioperatively in contrast to the current standard of care where urine output is visually estimated after empiric epochs of time. In this study, we describe an accurate method for monitoring urine output continuously during cardiopulmonary bypass. This may provide a means for setting patient-specific targets for blood pressure and cardiopulmonary bypass flow as a potential strategy to reduce the risk for acute kidney injury.
Imaging and dosimetry for radium-223: the potential for personalized treatment
Authors: Flux Glenn D
Published: June 2017

Radium-223 (223Ra) offers a new option for the treatment of bone metastases from prostate cancer. As cancer treatment progresses towards personalization, the potential for an individualized approach is exemplified in treatments with radiotherapeutics due to the unique ability to image in vivo the uptake and retention of the therapeutic agent. This is unmatched in any other field of medicine. Currently, 223Ra is administered according to standard fixed administrations, modified according to patient weight. Although gamma emissions comprise only 1% of the total emitted energy, there are increasing reports that quantitative imaging is feasible and can facilitate patient-specific dosimetry. The aim of this article is to review the application of imaging and dosimetry for 223Ra and to consider the potential for treatment optimization accordingly, in order to ensure clinical and cost effectiveness of this promising agent.

Published: June 2017

While there is a long history and tradition of behavioral research on basic motor skills in Down syndrome (DS), there has been only limited research on handwriting ability. We analyzed the spatiotemporal features of handwriting produced by children and adults with DS (n = 24), and compared their productions with those of comparison groups matched for developmental (n = 24) or chronological (n = 24) age. Results indicated that the participants with DS performed an alphabet letter-writing task just as efficiently as the children of the same developmental age, in terms of the length, duration and speed of their handwriting, and the number and duration of their pauses. Our study highlights a substantial delay in the stages of writing acquisition.

Still ‘Fashionably Laid’? Costume and contemporary moving-image pornography
Authors: Dirix Emmanuelle , Kirkham Neil
Published: June 2017

This article analyses the role of costume in contemporary heterosexual hard-core moving-image pornography. Building upon a previous study (Church Gibson and Kirkham 2012), it focuses on the representation of youth in a sub-site of the American website Reality Kings (2000–present). By drawing on an emergent yet fragmented body of work in this field, it situates the importance of costume and dress in communicating aspects of gendered identity and debates pornography’s use of ‘authentic’ visual strategies. In addition, it problematizes the much-discussed concept of ‘pornification’, arguing for the recognition of an inverse effect in pornographic texts.
Towards Applying Climate Change Adaptation
Authors: Schmidt-Thomé Philipp
Published: June 2017

Climate change adaptation has been growing in importance since the beginning of the 21st century. Historically adaptation, not to climate change but to extreme events, was deeply rooted in many societies and their land-use structures. With industrialization, and especially the increase in globalization since the 1990’s the importance of appropriate adaptation has slowly decreased, leading to increased exposure and risks of human settlements in areas potentially affected by climate change impacts (e.g. sea level rise) and / or extreme events (natural hazards). In order to implement climate change adaptation sustainably feasible solutions should be identified, i.e. viable and acceptable from socio-economic point of views. The identification of such feasible solutions goes beyond pure scientific analysis but incorporates stakeholders, decision-makers and local knowledge.

Published: June 2017

La amplia distribución del haya común (Fagus sylvatica) en Europa revela su gran adaptación a diversas condiciones de temperatura y humedad. Este interesante aspecto permite explicar el contexto del objetivo principal del presente trabajo: realizar un análisis dendroclimático de la especie Fagus sylvatica en el valle de Polaciones (Cantabria), un área de transición entre un ambiente característico de tipo atlántico hacia las condiciones de otro más mediterráneo, en el límite meridional de su crecimiento. La metodología desarrollada parte del análisis de 25 cronologías locales de anillos de crecimiento muestreadas en diversas altitudes a lo largo del valle, generando a su vez, una cronología de referencia para el área de estudio. Posteriormente, se estiman los patrones de crecimiento y de respuesta a las variaciones climáticas a través de la función respuesta y de correlación y, se obtienen las variables mensuales más significativas en el crecimiento anual de la especie. Finalmente, estas se introducen en un Sistema de Información Geográfica (SIG) donde se modelizan cartográficamente en el gradiente altitudinal mediante análisis multivariante, teniendo en cuenta las diversas variables geográficas y topográficas que inciden en la variabilidad zonal de respuesta de la especie. Los resultados de los análisis y modelos cartográficos muestran que variables son más determinantes en el crecimiento anual de la especie y la distribución de la respuesta climática de ésta en función de las variables consideradas.

Quanto ao percurso metodológico da pesquisa, em um primeiro momento, foram realizadas incursões exploratórias através de levantamento bibliográfico em fontes secundárias. Na sequência aplicou-se um questionário, baseado no modelo de Grigolo (2009) para coleta e análise de dados. O questionário com 88 questões fechadas foi enviado, via correio eletrônico para gestores de 05 hotéis de Piçarras. Trata-se, portanto, de uma pesquisa de abordagem predominantemente qualitativa, caracterizada como exploratória e descritiva, utilizando-se de levantamento bibliográfico e realização de estudo de caso, como procedimentos de investigação. Depois de analisados os dados, conclui-se que os resultados desta pesquisa podem contribuir para um melhor entendimento da gestão da informação na hotelaria de Balneário Piçarras e abrem perspectiva de se trabalhar de maneira mais abrangente os elementos de comunicação, tendo em vista a melhoria contínua dos processos decisórios.

Papeles de investigación: El tránsito hacia la revolución. Raúl González Tuñón en la primera mitad de los años treinta
Authors: Alle María Fernanda
Published: June 2017

Este artículo analiza la producción literaria e intelectual de Raúl González Tuñón en la primera mitad de la década de 1930, momento en que el autor emprende una búsqueda explícita por ligar la literatura a los imperativos revolucionarios, configurando así un primer momento de su poética de la convocatoria. Centra la atención en las imágenes de escritor que el autor construye y en los lineamientos de su poética e indaga las polémicas y las tensiones que el proyecto poético–político del autor suscita con otros espacios del campo intelectual y con los programas del Partido Comunista. Se sostiene que las imágenes de escritor ponen en escena el tránsito desde el muchacho marginal y bohemio de los años veinte al escritor comprometido con la causa de la revolución. Al mismo tiempo, esas imágenes sustentan un proyecto de intervención que enlaza las innovaciones de la vanguardia estética con los fines políticos revolucionarios.

Dossier Fin y resistencia de la teoría: ¿A dónde va la literatura? La contemporaneidad de una institución anacrónica
Authors: Giordano Alberto
Published: June 2017

A través de la lectura de ciertos gestos críticos de Josefina Ludmer, Reinaldo Laddaga y Florencia Garramuño, se intenta mostrar cómo en algunas intervenciones actuales sobre el fin de la institución literaria (tal como la identificaban los principios del régimen estético de las artes o los del paradigma de la modernidad), se podrían leer los síntomas desplazados de una resistencia teórica a la afirmación romántica de la literatura como proceso incesante de interrogación y cuestionamiento de sí misma. La resistencia a lo que este proceso pone en juego se efectuaría indirectamente en las especulaciones que pretenden llevarlo más allá de sí mismo, y en verdad lo debilitan, cuando parece que lo prolongan en el sentido de su superación. La hipótesis que se busca sostener es que habría una frivolidad denegada en los gestos que sancionan el fin de la literatura, porque esos gestos promueven un relajamiento crítico respecto de las tensiones entre búsqueda y reproducción que habitan la clausura estructural de lo literario. Un efecto de ese relajamiento sería el regreso a criterios de valoración clásicos, un vuelco de lo artístico a lo ético, en los términos de Jacques Rancière.
Dossier Fin y resistencia de la teoría: Alain Badiou en Tamara Kamenszain y Daniel Link
Authors: Incaminato Natalí
Published: June 2017

Fantasmas. Imaginación y sociedad, de Daniel Link (2009) y La boca del testimonio, de Tamara Kamenszain (2007) son dos intervenciones de la crítica literaria argentina que llevan a cabo una lectura particular de la filosofía de Alain Badiou. Esta serie de reapropiaciones, que incluyen el recorte, la selección y la combinación con otras perspectivas teóricas, pueden ser leídas desde la noción de Paul de Man de resistencia a la teoría en su doble acepción: en tanto insistencia en la lectura de teoría y en tanto resistencia interna de la propia teoría.
Dossier Fin y resistencia de la teoría: Cueto o el nonsense. Versiones del crítico.
Authors: Biancotto Natalia
Published: June 2017

Este trabajo presenta una lectura de los ensayos de Sergio Cueto sobre el nonsense a partir del modo en que se configura en ellos el movimiento de la resistencia a/de la teoría (De Man). Se propone la hipótesis de que estos ensayos críticos ponen de manifiesto una teoría en obra del arte del non-sense, en tanto que actúan o ensayan la pregunta sobre la posibilidad/imposibilidad de teorizar sobre el problema. Es allí donde la teoría falla, se niega o se ausenta, que el esfuerzo de teorización triunfa. La lógica de la resistencia a/de la teoría se estructura en estos textos, ensayísticamente, como una más de las versiones del nonsense.El trabajo busca mostrar, además, el giro que introduce la versión del crítico respecto de otras lecturas canónicas y actuales, como las de Chesterton y Aira, en su esfuerzo ético por preservar la irreductibilidad de la imaginación nonsensical.
Dossier La traducción editorial: Presentación
Authors: Venturini Santiago
Published: June 2017

¿Cuál es la especificidad de la noción «traducción editorial»? Más allá de concebirla como un tipo de traducción, es posible pensar la traducción editorial como un ámbito de reflexión ligado al reconocimiento de una serie de cuestiones y problemas relacionados con el diseño, la producción y la circulación de las obras traducidas en el espacio de los diferentes mercados nacionales del libro y de un mercado internacional de la traducción.Los trabajos que conforman este dossier contribuyen al pensamiento del cruce entre traducción y edición a través del abordaje de diferentes objetos, prácticas y problemáticas: la configuración de títulos, colecciones y catálogos editoriales, la traducción de determinados nombres de autor y el rol del traductor como agente, entre otras cuestiones.

Traducir, versionar, reescribir, etc.: modos de hacer sobrevivir poemas. Mientras algunos consideran que traducir es traicionar un poema o extirparle la poesía, otros ven este proceso como un modo de cultivar una  obra.  Exploraremos  distintas  maneras —metapoemas, com/ posiciones, recreaciones, palimtextos— que la traducción deja que un poema re orezca en la reescritura, enfocando en particular la poesía del escritor argentino Juan Gelman.
Dossier La traducción editorial: Representaciones sobre el español en la traducción editorial argentina: metodología de una investigación
Authors: Villalba Gabriela
Published: June 2017

El artículo presenta un proyecto de investigación grupal desarrollado entre 2014 y 2016 en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, que puso el foco en la relación entre variedad diatópica y traducción editorial, con la ambición de abrir una cuña en la naturalización de las ideas recibidas sobre ese vínculo. Se realizó una toma amplia de entrevistas y encuestas a agentes del campo editorial y formadores de traductores sobre el tema específico de la variedad «rioplatense» y el español llamado «neutro», a fin de recabar datos cualitativos validados cuantitativamente en torno a las representaciones sociales y sociolingüísticas recortables de sus enunciados metarreflexivos. El enfoque es interdisciplinario: combina herramientas y marcos teóricos de los estudios de traducción, la glotopolítica y el análisis del discurso.
Moravian and Inuit Encounters: Transculturation of Landscapes and Material Culture in West Greenland
Authors: Toft Peter Andreas
Published: June 2017

From 1733 to 1900, Moravian missionaries settled in West Greenland to missionize and teach. These activities resulted in local mission and settlement layouts that followed Moravian principles and at the same time adapted to local landscapes and Inuit traditions and subsistence practices. This article explores spatial data, objects, oral tradition, and written sources from sites at Uummannaq, Akunnaat (Lichtenfels), and Kangillermiut, West Greenland. At these sites, landscape use was transculturated, and the material culture changed among both the European missionaries and the local Inuit. Moravian missionaries traded European commodities for Inuit artefacts, and an Inuit industry evolved through creating souvenirs for the missionaries. At the same time, local Inuit material culture was influenced by the presence of the Moravians, who introduced written language, administrative birth numbers, goats, and new crafts such as European-style basket weaving. The cultural encounters at the three Greenlandic sites resulted in objects and practices that were cultural composites of European and Inuit ideals and traditions.
PATRÓN DE REGENERACIÓN DE LA PLÁNTULA DE Genista monspessulana (L.) L.A.S. Johnson, EN DOS ESCENARIOS DE RESTAURACIÓN ECOLÓGICA
Authors: Solorza-Bejarano Jairo Hernán
Published: June 2017

Con el fin de mejorar los programas de control de la especie invasora Genista monspessulana en dos escenarios de restauración ecológica con diferente disponibilidad lumínica en Bogotá, se analizó el patrón de regeneración del banco de semillas y el desarrollo inicial de los individuos. Para ello, se estudió la cobertura, abundancia, altura, longitud epigea e hipogea, número de foliolos, área foliar, diámetro de la raíz, número de ramificaciones de la raíz, presencia de nódulos y biomasa epigea e hipogea de las plántulas. El desarrollo de las plántulas, así como la regeneración del banco de semillas, presentaron diferencias en los escenarios ecológicos. En el área bajo dosel arbóreo los individuos presentaron un lento crecimiento, limitado por la cobertura de hojarasca y la baja disponibilidad lumínica; mientras que, en el área abierta con mayor incidencia lumínica, los individuos presentaron un rápido desarrollo de las hojas y raíces, además de la asociación mutualista con microorganismos que les permite mayor absorción y fijación de nitrógeno.
