When TADs go bad: chromatin structure and nuclear organisation in human disease
Authors: Kaiser Vera B , Semple Colin A
Published: March 2017

Chromatin in the interphase nucleus is organised as a hierarchical series of structural domains, including self-interacting domains called topologically associating domains (TADs). This arrangement is thought to bring enhancers into closer physical proximity with their target genes, which often are located hundreds of kilobases away in linear genomic distance. TADs are demarcated by boundary regions bound by architectural proteins, such as CTCF and cohesin, although much remains to be discovered about the structure and function of these domains. Recent studies of TAD boundaries disrupted in engineered mouse models show that boundary mutations can recapitulate human developmental disorders as a result of aberrant promoter-enhancer interactions in the affected TADs. Similar boundary disruptions in certain cancers can result in oncogene overexpression, and CTCF binding sites at boundaries appear to be hyper-mutated across cancers. Further insights into chromatin organisation, in parallel with accumulating whole genome sequence data for disease cohorts, are likely to yield additional valuable insights into the roles of noncoding sequence variation in human disease.

Published: March 2017

Data sharing is critical to advance genomic research by reducing the demand to collect new data by reusing and combining existing data and by promoting reproducible research. The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is a popular resource for individual-level genotype-phenotype cancer related data. The Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes (dbGaP) contains many datasets similar to those in TCGA. We have created a software pipeline that will allow researchers to discover relevant genomic data from dbGaP, based on matching TCGA metadata. The resulting research provides an easy to use tool to connect these two data sources.

Abstract. Siregar HM.2017. The conservation of native, lowland Indonesian Begonia species (Begoniaceae) in Bogor Botanic Gardens. Biodiversitas 18: 326-333. Indonesia has a diversity of indigenous (i.e. wild type) Begonia species thathave never been artificially hybridized. They are usually situated in tropical rain forests, from the lowlands to the uplands (2400 m asl.). There are many Begonia species that have not yet been collected and conserved ex-situ.Hence exploration and conservation of this diversity needs to be exensively pursued. The conservation of lowland adapted Begonia has been carried out for the last ten years in the Bogor Botanic Gardens. The research reported here developed an inventoryof the Begonia collection held in the green house of the Bogor Botanic Gardens nursery. The method used was a study of the plant expedition database which contains collection lists, locality of their discovery and ecological data for the localities. Plant collection registration, acclimatization, propagation and collection care were documented. Bogor Botanic Gardens has conserved 124 collections of Begonia, made up of 93 indigenous species and 31 exotic species. The reported origins for the collection areas follows: Java (9 accessions), Sumatra (37 accessions), Kalimantan (5 accessions), Sulawesi (11 accessions), Maluku (15 accessions), Papua (4 accessions), Bali and West Nusa Tenggara (6 accessions ) and East Nusa Tenggara (6 accessions). These wild Begonia have prospects for development as new ornamental plants and also as genetic material to research the creation of new Begonia varieties through artifial hybridization.Key words: Begonia, Begoniaceae, Conservation, Bogor Botanic Gardens

Abstract. Sulistyo B. 2017. The accuracy of the outer boundary delineation of coral reef area derived from the analysis of various vegetation indices of satellite Landsat thematic mapper. Biodiversitas 18: 351-358. This research aimed at determining the accuracy of the outer boundary delineation of coral reef area derived from the analysis of various vegetation indices of satellite Landsat Thematic Mapper in Enggano Island, the District of North Bengkulu, Bengkulu Province. The vegetation indices of Landsat Thematic Mapper analyzed were the Ratio Vegetation Index, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, the Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index, the Transformed Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index, the Modified Soil Adjusted Vegetation Index and the Transformed Vegetation Index. The result of every analysis of vegetation index (index map) was then used as a base for on-screen digitization of the points assumed to be the outer boundary of coral reefs in order to get digital data. Digitization of shoreline was also done to create an inner boundary of coral reefs. When it is combined with its outer boundary then the calculation of the area is possible. The accuracy of the result was validated by overlaying it onto Map of Coral Reefs derived from a topographic map of Joint Operation Group. To justify whether the accuracy is good (or accepted) or not good (or not accepted), a threshold value proposed by Justice and Townshend was chosen, those are Poor (when the accuracy is < 70%), Moderate (when the accuracy is between 70% and 85%), and Good (when the accuracy is â‰¥ 85%). The results of the research showed that the accuracy of RVI and NDVI values were Poor, those are 67.11% and 66.42%, respectively, so it could not be used for further analysis. The other results were Moderate, those are 73.33% for SAVI, 74.22% for TSAVI, 77.32 % for MSAVI and 77.33% for TVI, and may be used as a quick alternative when the map is absent.

Published: March 2017

Abstract. Kuswantoro H. 2017. Genetic variability and heritability of acid-adaptive soybean promising lines. Biodiversitas 18: 378-382. Genetic variability and heritability are very important in a variety improvement. The high genetic diversity can increase the probability on obtaining a new superior variety, while heritability can accelerate the selection process. In acidic dry land, genetic variability is also needed in order to increase such probability. The objective of this study was to estimate the genetic variability of acid-adaptive soybean promising lines. Ten advanced soybean-promising-lines derived from Tanggamus Ã— Anjasmoro varieties crossing were used as the materials. Results showed that the characters of days to flowering, the number of branches plant-1, the number of reproductive nodes plant-1, 100 grains weight and grain yield had broad genetic variability, while days to maturity, plant height and the number of filled pods plant-1 had narrow genetic variability. Characters of days to flowering, days to maturity, the number of filled pods plant-1 and 100-grain weight showed high broad sense heritability; characters of a number of branches plant-1, and the number of reproductive nodes plant-1 had moderate broad sense heritability; and plant height and grain yield had low broad sense heritability. Characters with broad genetic variability and high heritability can be used as sources in soybean variety improvement. The positive correlation between number of branches plant-1 with number of reproductive nodes plant-1 and number of filled pods plant-1 were significant. Significant positive correlations were also found between number of reproductive nodes plant-1 with number of filled pods plant-1. Negative correlations were found between weight of 100 grains with number of reproductive nodes plant-1 and number of filled pods plant-1. Similarly, negative correlations were also found between days to flowering with grain yield. Negative correlation between days to flowering and grain yield suggests to develop variety with early days to flowering.

The estimation of dynamical distribution of domesticated Burgo chicken population in Bengkulu coastal area, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 458-464. As one of the endemic bird species, which inhabits on the west coast of Sumatra and southern Sumatra region, such as Bengkulu Province, Jambi Province and South Sumatra Province, Burgo chicken is recognized as a pet and a socio-economic symbol status for fanciers. The study aimed to monitor the dynamical distribution of male Burgo population domesticated by fanciers in three regencies and a city located along the coastal area of Bengkulu Province. The locations were determined by a purposive sampling method. By using the software in the form of online questionnaire program, enumerators conducted a field survey for 4 weeks in July-August 2016 by a purposive sampling in three regencies and a city, i.e. Bengkulu City, Seluma District, Bengkulu Utara District and Bengkulu Tengah District. The datas obtained in the field were connected and stored in the system provided on a page and could be accessed in a limited basis. Furthermore, the population datas were summarized and analyzed by using a Variance-Mean Ratio (VMR) formula to determine the distribution pattern of domesticated male Burgo chicken. The results showed that in the year of 2016 the highest population of male Burgo chicken (53.29% population) was found in Bengkulu Utara District as many as 89 individuals, while the lowest population (1.19% or 2 individuals) was found in Seluma District. Furthermore, it was also known that the distribution of domesticated male Burgo population in the coastal area of Bengkulu Province could be classified as negative binomial distribution or over-dispersed (VMR>1.0). The results of estimation of dynamical distribution pattern of male Burgo chicken population in year of 2016 in the coastal areas of Bengkulu Province was similar to the distribution pattern of mixed sex Burgo chicken population in Bengkulu Province in year of 2009 which was categorized as negative binomial distribution.

The study on potential of six isolates of SlNPV which are originally from East Java to control S. litura on soybean was conducted at the Entomology Laboratory, Plant Protection Department of Indonesian Legumes and Tuber Crops Research Institute during May to August 2015. The experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential of six isolates of SlNPV, namely: SINPV JTM 02-1, SINPV JTM 02-2, SINPV JTM 02-3, SINPV JTM 02-4. SINPV JTM 02-5 and SINPV JTM 97c (as control, a virulent strain uses five virus concentrations (1x10Â°, 1x106, 1x108, 1x1010, and 1x1012 PIBs/mL) to control the existence of S. litura instar-3. The data of the time for larvae to stop eating and their mortality were analyzed using MSTATC computer software and Hsinchi Probit program was used to analyze the 50% lethal concentration (LC50) and 50% lethal time (LT50). The study showed that the larvaeâ€™s will to stopeating, their mortality, LC50, and LT50 were significantly influenced by the interaction between SINPV isolate and the inoculated virus concentration. These potential parameters were also different among the larvae instar of tested S. litura. The potential of each isolates was higher at instar-3 than the other. Besides that, SINPV JTM 97c, SINPV JTM 02-5 showed the highest potential to control S. litura. It can be seen from instar-3, LC50 that is effective to kill 50% of the larvae population of SlNPV JTM 02-5 was between 1x1010 - 1x1012 PIBs/mL with LT50 between 170-207 Hours After Inoculation (HAI). It is revealed that SINPV JTM 02-5 has more potential as biopesticide to control S. litura than the other tested isolates.

Wahyuni S, Supartha IW, Ubaidillah R, Wijaya IN. 2017. Parasitoid community structure of leafminer Liriomyza spp. (Diptera: Agromyzidae) and the rate of parasitization on vegetable crops in Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 18: 593-600. Parasitoids such as leafminer have long been known to play an important role in reducing potential pest populations. However, detailed information about the parasitoid community in many agroecosystems is still very limited. To attempt to address this data gap, we assessed the rate of parasitism, diversity, abundance and dominance of leafminer parasitoids in different agroecosystems. The survey was carried out from February to July 2015 in Lesser Sunda islands of Lombok, Sumbawa, Flores and Timor. Samples were taken from three different vegetable ecosystem types the forest edge (H1), agricultural (H2) and settlement (H3). In each ecosystem, 50 leaves were sampled from 20 kinds of vegetable crops attacked by Liriomyza spp. Samples were taken five times per location every week. The sampling results found three distinct species of leafminer flies present: Liriomyza huidobrensis, L. sativae, and Chromatomyia horticola. The sampling also successfully identified 7 other parasitoids with parasitization rates between 0.09%-32.58% i.e. Neochrysocharis formosa (8.20%-32.58%), Hemiptarsenus varicornis (4.57%-24.21%), Opius chromatomyiae (0.88%-22.35%), Opius dissitus (0.49%- 5.08%), Neochrysocharis okazakii (0.69 %-1.24%), Asecodes deluchii (0.51%-5.89%) and Gronotoma micromorpha (0.09%-0.34%). Indices of abundance (R) and diversity (H') were also calculated, with the highest species abundance being found on the Lombok and the lowest on the Sumbawa. Neochrysocharis formosa abundance was found in all the islands sampled, while the dominance (D = 0.43) was found on the Sumbawa. N. formosa was found to have the highest population abundance and parasitism rate, and was found on every island in Lesser Sunda including on the Lombok (1853 adult; 31.16%), Sumbawa (472 adult; 8.2%), Flores (1117 adult; 15.96 %) and Timor (984 adult; 22.18%). The results of these studies suggest a strong need for effective pest control policies for Liriomyza spp. in the research locations, as well as for other vegetable crops in Indonesia

Biodiversitas 18: 633-638. This research represents population dynamics parameters of Pampus argenteus including age, growth and mortality parameters in Iranian waters of the northern Persian Gulf and Oman Sea using length-frequency data. Fork length and total weight data collecting of P. argenteus were conducted from April 2014 to March 2015. A total of 1919 specimen were collected ranging from 10 to 32 cm fork length and 35 to 1075 g total weight. The mean length and weight were recorded to be 19.97Â±0.12 cm and 272.04Â±7.43 g, respectively. The relationship between fork length and total weight was determined as W = 0.0231FL3.141 (R2=0.9932, n= 643) and indicated that P. argenteus grew allometrically in the study region. The Von Bertalanffy growth function estimates were obtained as: Lâˆž = 32.55 cm, K = 0.3 year-1, t0=-0.54 years and Ï•â€²= 2.5. The infinite weight of P. argenteus was estimated as 1301.77 g. The annual instantaneous rate of total mortality (Z) was 1.55 year-1, the natural mortality (M) was 0.75 year-1 and the fishing mortality (F) was 0.78 year-1. Furthermore, the exploitation rate (E) was calculated as 0.51. Results of the obtained exploitation rate showed that P. argenteus was fully exploited in the study region.

Excessive sodium (Na+) intake in modern society has been associated with several chronic disorders such as hypertension. Several studies suggest that early life events can program physiological systems and lead to functional changes in adulthood. Therefore, we investigated behavioral and neuroendocrine responses under basal conditions and after 48 h of water deprivation in adult (60‐day‐old Wistar rats) male, Wistar rats originating from dams were offered only water or 0.15 mol/L NaCl during pregnancy and lactation. Early life salt exposure induced kidney damage, as shown by a higher number of ED‐1 positive cells (macrophages/monocytes), increased daily urinary volume and Na+ excretion, blunted basal water intake and plasma oxytocin levels, and increased plasma corticosterone secretion. When challenged with water deprivation, animals exposed to 0.15 mol/L NaCl during early life showed impaired water intake, reduced salt preference ratio, and vasopressin (AVP) secretion. In summary, our data demonstrate that the perinatal exposure to excessive Na+ intake can induce kidney injury in adult offspring and significantly affect the key mechanisms regulating water balance, fluid intake, and AVP release in response to water deprivation. Collectively, these novel results highlight the impact of perinatal programming on the homeostatic mechanisms regulating fluid and electrolyte balance during exposure to an environmental stress (i.e. dehydration) in later life.
Singularities of plane complex curves and limits of Kähler metrics with cone singularities. I: Tangent Cones
Authors: Borbon Martin de
Published: March 2017

The goal of this article is to provide a construction and classification, in the case of two complex dimensions, of the possible tangent cones at points of limit spaces of non-collapsed sequences of Kähler-Einstein metrics with cone singularities. The proofs and constructions are completely elementary, nevertheless they have an intrinsic beauty. In a few words; tangent cones correspond to spherical metrics with cone singularities in the projective line by means of the Kähler quotient construction with respect to the S1-action generated by the Reeb vector field, except in the irregular case ℂβ₁×ℂβ₂ with β₂/ β₁ ∉ Q.
Position Information Encoded by Population Activity in Hierarchical Visual Areas

Published: March 2017

Neurons in high-level visual areas respond to more complex visual features with broader receptive fields (RFs) compared to those in low-level visual areas. Thus, high-level visual areas are generally considered to carry less information regarding the position of seen objects in the visual field. However, larger RFs may not imply loss of position information at the population level. Here, we evaluated how accurately the position of a seen object could be predicted (decoded) from activity patterns in each of six representative visual areas with different RF sizes [V1–V4, lateral occipital complex (LOC), and fusiform face area (FFA)]. We collected functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) responses while human subjects viewed a ball randomly moving in a two-dimensional field. To estimate population RF sizes of individual fMRI voxels, RF models were fitted for individual voxels in each brain area. The voxels in higher visual areas showed larger estimated RFs than those in lower visual areas. Then, the ball’s position in a separate session was predicted by maximum likelihood estimation using the RF models of individual voxels. We also tested a model-free multivoxel regression (support vector regression, SVR) to predict the position. We found that regardless of the difference in RF size, all visual areas showed similar prediction accuracies, especially on the horizontal dimension. Higher areas showed slightly lower accuracies on the vertical dimension, which appears to be attributed to the narrower spatial distributions of the RF centers. The results suggest that much position information is preserved in population activity through the hierarchical visual pathway regardless of RF sizes and is potentially available in later processing for recognition and behavior.

Plastic changes in the CNS in response to peripheral sensory nerve injury are a series of complex processes, ranging from local circuit remodeling to somatotopic reorganization. However, the link between circuit remodeling and somatotopic reorganization remains unclear. We have previously reported that transection of the primary whisker sensory nerve causes the abnormal rewiring of lemniscal fibers (sensory afferents) on a neuron in the mouse whisker sensory thalamus (V2 VPM). In the present study, using transgenic mice whose lemniscal fibers originate from the whisker sensory principle trigeminal nucleus (PrV2) are specifically labeled, we identified that the transection induced retraction of PrV2-originating lemniscal fibers and invasion of those not originating from PrV2 in the V2 VPM. This anatomical remodeling with somatotopic reorganization was highly correlated with the rewiring of lemniscal fibers. Origins of the non-PrV2-origin lemniscal fibers in the V2 VPM included the mandibular subregion of trigeminal nuclei and the dorsal column nuclei (DCNs), which normally represent body parts other than whiskers. The transection also resulted in ectopic receptive fields of V2 VPM neurons and extraterritorial pain behavior on the uninjured mandibular region of the face. The anatomical remodeling, emergence of ectopic receptive fields, and extraterritorial pain behavior all concomitantly developed within a week and lasted more than three months after the transection. Our findings, thus, indicate a strong linkage between these plastic changes after peripheral sensory nerve injury, which may provide a neural circuit basis underlying large-scale reorganization of somatotopic representation and abnormal ectopic sensations.
Make America's (Foodways) Great Again: Nostalgia, Early Twentieth-Century Dietary Critiques, and the Specter of Obesity in Contemporary Food Commentary
Authors: Jou Chin
Published: March 2017

Using Donald Trump's “Make America Great Again” slogan from last year's U.S. presidential campaign as a framing device, this article considers how nostalgia in food commentary is a critique of present circumstances that also elides unsavory realities of the past. Noting that contemporary food nostalgia for past foodways is ironic given that food commentators of the past also pined for erstwhile foodways, this article examines how early twentieth-century dietary critiques projected anxieties about modernity in their disapprovals of the decline of home cooking and the rising consumption of items like white bread and sugar. While such critiques have much in common with contemporary food nostalgia, this article points to a unique preoccupation of the more recent dietary critiques—the obesity epidemic.
“Lose Like a Man”: Gender and the Constraints of Self-Making in Weight Watchers Online
Authors: Contois Emily
Published: March 2017

Offering online programs that target men and women separately, Weight Watchers communicates, represents, and manipulates gender in its program marketing and materials. In this article, I demonstrate how Weight Watchers engages aspects of hegemonic masculinity as they endeavor to construct “masculine” versus “feminine” dieting through contrasting depictions of food, the body, and technology use. By analyzing the difference in the weight loss experiences that Weight Watchers Online promises, I argue that limited types of self are made available to women and men. Weight Watchers portrays female dieters on a difficult but actualizing and empowering journey toward a new and better self. Conversely, Weight Watchers depicts male clients losing weight easily, even effortlessly, but retaining a stable and immutable masculine selfhood throughout the process. This constraint upon self-making exposes how patriarchy subordinates even the men assumed to profit the most from its power, as the male weight loss promise withholds transformative potentials.
Isotopía en la imagen digital
Authors: Mondéjar Véronique
Published: March 2017

La imagen digital conlleva un análisis procesual de orden hermenéutico a menudo inconsciente. En efecto, aunque la lectura de una fotografía es un acto instantáneo, se relega su apreciación a aspectos críticos que se apartan del panorama creativo desde el cual se emitió. Se distinguen, de este modo, aciertos plásticos en una escala de valores en estrecha relación con la oferta cultural del entorno propio a la exhibición de la obra.  El acercamiento a una lectura semiótica posibilita la comprensión del universo connotativo inmerso en la imagen. Esta interpretación permite establecer acciones isotópicas que abren horizontes interactivos los cuales posibilitan una manipulación digital.
Proyecto El Gesto: crear una lectura
Authors: Lachino Hayde , Prado Nonis , Romero Rosario
Published: March 2017

El proyecto El Gesto surgió como una pregunta sobre las posibles significaciones que puede tener un gesto cotidiano cuando es llevado a un estado de representación. De muchas maneras, esta pieza se inspira en las investigaciones estéticas realizadas por Marcel Duchamp, las cuales nos colocan ante la problemática del lenguaje que conlleva, de forma necesaria, a reflexionar sobre la escritura coreográfica-musical y la lectura como acto creativo. El Gesto es una pieza que se sitúa en una relación de tensión, por un lado, frente al campo de la danza en México, a sus modos de producción y a las estéticas validadas; y por otro, frente a la fecunda experimentación musical y sonora que existe en el país. Este posicionamiento posee implicaciones tanto a nivel lingüístico como corporal.
Tecnología, Pos-humano, Des-humano
Authors: Candela José Miguel
Published: March 2017

El presente artículo intenta exponer de manera sintética el tema de la tecnología digital y sus implicancias en relación con el cuerpo, considerando este en sus manifestaciones, tanto cotidianas como escénicas. Con este fin, se abordan diversos aspectos e implicancias en torno a la idea de la modificación del cuerpo material gracias a la tecnología, exponiendo para esto las perspectivas de lo pos-humano –la superación del cuerpo gracias a la tecnología– en contraposición a lo des-humano –la privación del propio cuerpo por parte de un poder panóptico. En esta dirección, el texto considera ópticas fenomenológicas, semánticas, políticas y tecnológicas del cuerpo, las que buscan realizar una discusión argumentativa de características dialécticas. Finalmente, el ensayo propone posibles (y necesarias) áreas de producción de conocimiento, derivadas de las reflexiones expuestas.

César Martínez-Silva Del arte incendiario y neumático a las perforMANcenas
Authors: González María Luisa
Published: March 2017

Para César Martínez-Silva (Ciudad de México, 1962), la incorporación es un elemento pleno de fuerza metafórica. Al encontrar una equivalencia simbólica entre metabolismo cultural y metabolismo socioeconómico –y entre las producciones artísticas y cualquier creación humana que genera un ciclo de consumo –, el artista elabora el concepto de las perforMANcenas. Estas son performances conceptuales en las que el artista ofrece, para su consumo, esculturas comestibles en forma humana, las cuales se articulan, de forma conceptual, en la trayectoria del artista, en una sucesión que va del arte incendiario realizado con pólvora, al arte neumático realizado con aire; de sucesos significativos de su infancia que atraviesan y marcan su vida personal, a sucesos políticos relacionados con la incorporación que trascienden el plano individual para marcar la vida social y económica. El propósito de este artículo consiste en mostrar la génesis de este concepto, orientándome, para ello, con el método que A. C. Danto (2009) sigue para el abordaje de las producciones artísticas contemporáneas. Dicho método consta de tres preguntas fundamentales, las cuales se mencionan a continuación: ¿quién hace la obra?, ¿qué hace el artista? y, finalmente, ¿cómo hace la obra el artista? Se inicia, por tanto, con el manifiesto del artista; de forma posterior, se describe su trayectoria en la que se realiza énfasis en sus principales referentes y principios estéticos y algunas de sus producciones.En última instancia, se otorga énfasis a la configuración de las perforMANcenas y su propuesta estética.
De cara a la última instancia: José Alberto Hernández en la fotografía contemporánea
Authors: Quirós Luis Fernando
Published: March 2017

Este ensayo observa el trabajo creativo en fotografía de José Alberto Hernández; analiza su temática la cual focaliza el impacto que tienen las armas de fuego, los convictos en las prisiones y los protocolos carcelarios y de investigación en la obra de arte actual, discurso que conduce la reflexión acerca de la muerte, la violencia y la desesperanza.  Asimismo, el escrito esboza una secuencia biográfica intentando evocar las primeras muestras, participaciones en bienales u otros eventos artísticos, históricos, culturales y contextuales que lo formaron y lo catapultaron como artista, hasta contextualizar una de sus recientes exposiciones en el Museo Nacional: “Capturas”.Por último, se analiza el lenguaje e iconografía, recurrencias formales, estilísticas y técnicas en el abordaje a un discurso crítico y una poética que pervive y potencia la discusión sobre el significado del arte en tiempos actuales. Considera, además, referentes en situaciones similares y en otras prácticas artísticas como la literatura, el cine, la pintura y la vida.
Hurtándole el tiempo al tiempo: un libro de Tania Vicente que ayuda a ir componiendo el rompecabezas de la historia cultural de Costa Rica
Authors: Cuevas Molina Rafael
Published: March 2017

Como bien lo dice Tania Vicente, autora del libro Hurtándole tiempo al tiempo. La música académica en el Valle Central: de oficio a profesión (1940-1972), publicado por la Editorial de la Universidad de Costa Rica en el año 2013, la producción bibliográfica orientada a analizar el quehacer musical costarricense es relativamente escaso, lo cual es llamativo en un país en el que hay una efervescencia musical como nunca antes en su historia
Hurtándole el tiempo al tiempo
Authors: Matarrita Manuel
Published: March 2017

Conocer la línea histórica de una región geográfica, desde la óptica de cualesquiera de sus ámbitos culturales, es tarea esencial, no necesariamente para crear patrones restrictivos de identidad cultural –que muchas veces resultan en discursos forzados–, sino para comprender y justificar el presente y, desde allí, construir el porvenir. Como bien decía el compositor Gustav Mahler, rescatar la tradición “es la transmisión del fuego y no la adoración de las cenizas”.
La Iconología como método de estudio historiográfico: los aportes a la historia del arte
Authors: Montero Rodríguez Daniel
Published: March 2017

El presente trabajo consiste en un estudio teórico de la noción de iconografía, como método de estudio historiográfico, a partir de sus contribuciones a la historia del arte. En primera instancia, se abordan las concepciones tradicionales del término para después analizar las diversas propuestas teóricas que redefinen este método. De tal forma, se establecen los diversos estadios de la iconología y su doble dimensión teórico metodológica, dentro de los estudios semióticos de la historia del arte.

La idea de exponer dicho tema, haciendo énfasis en el aspecto metodológico, es con el fin de preparar el camino conceptual para desarrollar en un futuro el tema de la lógica dialéctica.
Estudio jurídico sobre el Derecho al desarrollo de los pueblos; un acercamiento al Progreso Legal
Authors: Rodríguez Araya José Luis
Published: March 2017

Este artículo aborda analíticamente el porqué el Derecho al Desarrollo es un Derecho Humano y como tal debe ser exigido por la ciudadanía, cuando se vea privada de política pública y planes estratégicos para alcanzar el Bienestar Social y la Justicia Social como nación o comunidad, a través de la interpretación de la Declaración de Derechos Humanos de 1948 y las Declaraciones del Desarrollo en lo Social de 1969 y 1986.
Metodologías analíticas utilizadas actualmente para la determinación de mercurio en músculo de pescado
Authors: Ruiz Chaves Ingrid
Published: March 2017

El mercurio es un metal pesado con tiene efectos tóxicos, una de las vías de ingreso en los humanos es por el consumo de pescado, debido al riesgo representado para la salud, existe un gran interés en el desarrollo de técnicas analíticas sensibles y fiables para su determinación. Para la determinación del mercurio total existe una gran variedad de metodologías que proporcionan información parcial acerca de su impacto en la salud humana y el medio ambiente, como consecuencia se han desarrollado técnicas capaces de separar e identificar las diversas especies de mercurio para poder evaluar los distintos grados de impacto. El presente trabajo realiza una propuesta del principio básico, ventajas e inconvenientes de las principales técnicas en la determinación de mercurio total y metilmercurio en matrices alimentarias (músculo de pescado) empleadas por métodos analíticos directos e indirectos, tales como: la espectrometría de absorción atómica de vapor frío (CV AAS), vapor frío espectrometría de fluorescencia atómica (CV AFS), plasma acoplado inductivamente-espectrometría de masas (ICP-MS) y analizador de mercurio. También se presenta un breve texto con el uso de técnicas cromatográficas para el análisis de especiación del mercurio orgánico. Se han desarrollado muchas técnicas analíticas para determinar el mercurio, las cuales han logrado tener un mayor grado de especificidad y selectividad con equipos muy sensibles, para determinar concentraciones en el de nivel ultratrazas y lograr la identificación y separación de los diferentes compuestos del mercurio, para garantizar el riesgo asociado al consumo de pescado.
