DE LA COMPETENCIA COMUNICATIVA A LA COMPETENCIA INTERCULTURAL: UNA PROPUESTA TEÓRICA Y DIDÁCTICA PARA LA EDUCACIÓN INTERCULTURAL EN LATINOAMÉRICA
Authors: Fajardo Salinas Delia María 
Published: March 2017

En este artículo se revisa la evolución del concepto de competencia comunicativa desde que fuera propuesto por Dell Hymes, pasando por los principales modelos de análisis de dicho constructo, con un énfasis en la relevancia que fue cobrando la formulación de ciertas capacidades y actitudes para afrontar la relación con la diferencia cultural, en el marco de la enseñanza de lenguas, todo ello como fundamento para elaborar una propuesta teórica del concepto de competencia intercultural factible de convertirse en el núcleo curricular de una propuesta didáctica para programas de educación intercultural en Latinoamérica. Entre los modelos de análisis considerados destacamos el de Cantero (2009), por la novedad de su aporte con un enfoque apoyado en la teoría de la complejidad para explicar las relaciones entre los elementos que integran la competencia comunicativa y, más importante aún, el potencial descriptivo y normativo de su modelo de análisis para la enseñanza de lenguas.

ABSTRACTThis paper reviews the evolution of the concept of communicative competence proposed by Dell Hymes, including the main models for the analysis of this construct with an emphasis on the relevance acquired by the formulation of certain capabilities and attitudes to face the relationship with cultural difference within the framework of language teaching. This is the foundation for the development of a theoretical proposal about the concept of intercultural competence that may feasibly become the curricular core of a didactic proposal for intercultural education programs in Latin America. Cantero's model (2009) is noted among the most outstanding analysis models because of the novelty of his contribution with an approach that uses complexity theory to explain both the relationships among the elements integrating communicative competence and even more importantly the descriptive and normative potential of his analysis model for language teaching.
LAS POLÍTICAS CULTURALES DE LOS GOBIERNOS LOCALES EN LA ARGENTINA
Authors: Mendes Calado Pablo 
Published: March 2017

Este artículo tiene por objeto presentar el trabajo que desde el proyecto de investigación Políticas Culturales en los Gobiernos Locales*, la Universidad Nacional de Tres de Febrero viene desarrollando en este campo poco explorado del quehacer público en cultura. El trabajo en cuestión consiste en un estudio de casos mediante herramientas metodológicas tales como entrevistas en profundidad, observaciones, grupos focales, análisis presupuestario y observaciones participantes. Desde el 2007 a la fecha, doce municipios han sido objeto de estudio en Argentina. Lo que aquí se presenta son reflexiones en torno a algunos de los resultados hasta ahora obtenidos, los cuales se organizan en los siguientes temas: el desarrollo institucional, los objetivos, la nominación del destinatario y los recursos disponibles. Finalmente, se hace un balance de la actual situación que los gobiernos locales en la Argentina presentan en materia de políticas culturales y cuáles podrían ser algunos caminos para avanzar en un sentido que haga de las políticas culturales locales una fuente de desarrollo y de construcción de lazos sociales.

ABSTRACTThe objective of this article is to present the work that the Argentine National University of Tres de Febrero has been developing in the practically unexplored field of public engagement with culture, based on a research project on Cultural Policies in Local Governments*. This piece of research consists of a study of cases using various methodological tools, such as in-depth interviews, observations, focal groups, budget analysis and participant observations. From 2007 to the present, twelve municipalities have been the object of study in Argentina. This article presents reflections about some of the results obtained so far, which are organized under the following themes: institutional development, objectives, nomination of target groups, and resource availability. Finally, a balance is made regarding the current situation that local governments in Argentina present in terms of cultural policies and which could be some pathways to follow in order to turn local cultural policies into a source of development and a means to construct social bonds.
EL FOGÓN ABIERTO DE TRES PIEDRAS EN LA PENÍNSULA DE YUCATÁN: TRADICIÓN Y TRANSFERENCIA TECNOLÓGICA
Authors: Cantú Gutiérrez Citlalli , Quiroz Carranza Joaquín 
Published: March 2017

En México, y particularmente en la península de Yucatán, el uso del fogón abierto de tres piedras y de leña combustible es un recurso de gran importancia por su cantidad de usuarios, el sustento histórico-cultural y su significado dentro del complejo de tecnologías tradicionales. Su existencia actual representa un proceso de autonomía de las poblaciones indígenas, campesinas y pobres respecto a las redes hegemónicas de energéticos convencionales. En este artículo se describen las características del fogón abierto y de las especies preferidas como leña con base en observaciones realizadas en 4,000 viviendas de 39 localidades de Yucatán y Quintana Roo, México. Se analiza el proceso de transferencia tecnológica y se describe un proceso de entrega de fogones del gobierno federal en Yucatán, interpretándose como una política de subsidio de carbono hacia la industria capitalista local y como una forma de neutralizar lo autónomo tradicional y los esfuerzos de la sociedad civil organizada por impulsar el desarrollo participativo y comunitario.

ABSTRACTIn Mexico and particularly on the Yucatan peninsula, the use of the three-stone open fire cook stove and fire wood fuel is a phenomenon of great importance due to the number of people using it, its historical-cultural background and its meaning within the complex of traditional technologies. Its current existence represents a process of autonomy of the indigenous, peasant and poor populations with respect to the hegemonic networks of conventional sources of energy. Based on observations of 4000 households in 39 locations in Yucatan and Quintana Roo, Mexico, this article describes the characteristics of the open fire cook stove as well as the preferred types of firewood. It analyzes the transfer of technology and describes the process of delivery of open fire cook stoves by the federal government in Yucatan, interpreting it as a carbon subsidy policy for both local capitalist industry and developed countries, and as a way of neutralizing traditional autonomy and the efforts of organized civil society to promote participatory and community development.
RESISTENCIA Y CONSTRUCCIÓN DE AUTONOMÍA: UNA EXPERIENCIA COMUNITARIA ZAPATISTA
Authors: González Ruiz Nicolás 
Published: March 2017

En este artículo describo y explico las formas en que los zapatistas están construyendo procesos de resistencia y de autonomía en pequeños espacios que integran el complejo territorio autónomo zapatista. Con la intención de que se pueda comprender la complejidad del proceso que están desarrollando a niveles más amplios, identifico los problemas que pretenden superar e identifico también las relaciones que mantienen con «los otros» con quienes comparten territorio. La información la obtuve de forma directa dentro de la comunidad analizada utilizando una metodología participativa donde la observación fue fundamental. Formo parte de la comunidad y hablo la lengua nativa y estos aspectos fueron de suma importancia para construir los diversos niveles de discusión que desarrollo.

RESISTANCE AND CONSTRUCTION OF AUTONOMY: A ZAPATISTA COMMUNITY EXPERIENCEABSTRACTThis article describes and explains the ways in which the Zapatistas are constructing resistance and autonomy processes in small areas that form part of the complex autonomous Zapatista territory. In order to help understand the complexity of the process that the Zapatistas are developing at broader levels, the author identifies the problems that they aim to overcome as well as the relations that they have with «the others» with whom they share the territory. The author obtained information directly from within the analyzed community through a participatory methodology in which observation played a crucial role. The author is part of the community and speaks the native language. These aspects were of supreme importance for the construction of different levels of discussion that unfolded.
GUATEMALA: CONSTRUYENDO EL DESARROLLO PROPIO EN UN NEOLIBERALISMO DE POSGUERRA
Authors: De León Quimy , Bastos Santiago 
Published: March 2017

En Guatemala, después del fin del conflicto armado, se dio una apertura a las actividades extractivas, que se instalaron en forma indiscriminada en muchas comunidades del país. Estas se organizaron para defender su territorio y su modo de vida. Este es el contexto en el que se están construyendo las propuestas de formas propias de desarrollo, entre las que se destaca la de la participación comunitaria que ha dado fuerza a la movilización y supone una propuesta nueva de relación con el Estado.
GUATEMALA: BUILDING ITS DEVELOPMENT IN POSTWAR NEOLIBERALISM
After the end of a period of armed conflict, Guatemala opened up indiscriminately to extraction activities in many communities throughout the country. The communities organized to defend their territory and way of life. This is the context within which proposals are being made to build their own forms of development, including the proposal for community participation that has strengthened mobilization and assumes a new relationship with the State.
Sensitizing Reasons by Emulating Exemplars
Authors: Sato Kunimasa 
Published: March 2017

The fostering of rationality has long been endorsed as an educational ideal by some philosophers; in recent years, whereas some have argued for this ideal, others have challenged it, particularly within debates relevant to the study of critical thinking. Harvey Siegel, who has spelled out the philosophical theory of educating for rationality, not only has defended his view from such challenges but also has been deepening his thoughts regarding how rationality can be fostered.
This paper centers on the cultivating of sensitivity to reasons in the fostering of rationality by critically examining and extending Siegel’s arguments concerning the notion of what he calls “felt reasons.” By clarifying the notion of felt reasons, I will argue for two ideas: first, teachers, parents, and fictional characters in media such as novels and films can be seen as exemplars that manifest rationality; second, the emotion of admiring exemplars may act as a motivating force for children—including small children who are still not sensitive to reasons and thus are not moved by reasons—to be critical thinkers.
Predictive Properties of Biomarkers GDF-15, NTproBNP, and hs-TnT for Morbidity and Mortality in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes With Nephropathy

Published: March 2017

OBJECTIVE
Although patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with nephropathy are at high risk for renal and cardiovascular complications, relevant biomarkers have been poorly identified. Because renal impairment may increase biomarker levels, this potentially confounds associations between biomarker levels and risk. To investigate the predictive value of a biomarker in such a setting, we examined baseline levels of growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15), N-terminal prohormone of B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP), and high-sensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) in relation to renal and cardiovascular risk in T2D patients with nephropathy.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS
Eight hundred sixty-one T2D patients from the sulodexide macroalbuminuria (Sun-MACRO) trial were included in our post hoc analysis. Prospective associations of baseline serum GDF-15, NTproBNP, and hs-TnT with renal and cardiovascular events were determined by Cox multiple regression and C-statistic analysis. Renal base models included albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), serum creatinine, hemoglobin, age, and sex. Cardiovascular base models included diastolic blood pressure, ACR, cholesterol, age, and sex.

RESULTS
The mean (±SD) estimated glomerular filtration rate was 33 ± 9 mL/min/1.73 m2, and the median serum concentration for GDF-15 was 3,228 pg/mL (interquartile range 2,345–4,310 pg/mL), for NTproBNP was 380 ng/L (155–989 ng/L), and for hs-TnT was 30 ng/L (20–47 ng/L). In multiple regression analysis, GDF-15 (hazard ratio [HR] 1.83, P = 0.04), NTproBNP (HR 2.34, P = 0.004), and hs-TnT (HR 2.09, P = 0.014) were associated with renal events, whereas NTproBNP (HR 3.45, P &lt; 0.001) was associated with cardiovascular events. The C-statistic was improved by adding NTproBNP and hs-TNT to the renal model (0.793 vs. 0.741, P = 0.04). For cardiovascular events, the C-statistic was improved by adding NTproBNP alone (0.722 vs. 0.658, P = 0.018).

CONCLUSIONS
Biomarkers GDF-15, NTproBNP, and hs-TnT associate independently with renal risk, whereas NTproBNP independently predicts cardiovascular risk.

APROXIMACIONES AL PENSAMIENTO DEL INICIO: MIRADAS CONFRONTADAS DESDE LAS FILOSOFÍAS DE MARTIN HEIDEGGER Y CORNELIUS CASTORIADIS
Authors: ALDEGANI EMILIANO 
Published: March 2017

La reciente publicación de los seminarios de Cornelius Castoriadis ha permitido el acceso a una interpretación particular del pensamiento de Anaximandro, que toma como eje de su pensamiento la oposición entre lo determinado y lo indeterminado en el momento inicial de lo existente. Sin embargo, esta lectura surge también en contraposición a la interpretación de Heidegger, para quien el pensamiento de Anaximandro expresaba la tensión inicial entre el ser y la presencia. En este contexto, el artículo busca explicitar la confrontación entre las ideas de Heidegger y Castoriadis a partir de su interpretación de la sentencia de Anaximandro, desarrollando esquemáticamente su interpretación del fragmento, su vínculo con la lectura propuesta por Nietzsche, y la influencia de sus propias consideraciones ontológicas sobre la lectura que ofrecen del fragmento.

Published: March 2017

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the plasma pharmacokinetics and safety of 1% diclofenac sodium cream applied topically to neonatal foals every 12 hours for 7 days.
ANIMALS Twelve 2- to 14-day old healthy Arabian and Arabian-pony cross neonatal foals.
PROCEDURES A 1.27-cm strip of cream containing 7.3 mg of diclofenac sodium (n = 6 foals) or an equivalent amount of placebo cream (6 foals) was applied topically to a 5-cm square of shaved skin over the anterolateral aspect of the left tarsometatarsal region every 12 hours for 7 days. Physical examination, CBC, serum biochemistry, urinalysis, gastric endoscopy, and ultrasonographic examination of the kidneys and right dorsal colon were performed before and after cream application. Venous blood samples were collected at predefined intervals following application of the diclofenac cream, and plasma diclofenac concentrations were determined by liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry.
RESULTS No foal developed any adverse effects attributed to diclofenac application, and no significant differences in values of evaluated variables were identified between treatment groups. Plasma diclofenac concentrations peaked rapidly following application of the diclofenac cream, reaching a maximum of < 1 ng/mL within 2 hours, and declined rapidly after application ceased.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Topical application of the 1% diclofenac sodium cream to foals as described appeared safe, and low plasma concentrations of diclofenac suggested minimal systemic absorption. Practitioners may consider use of this medication to treat focal areas of pain and inflammation in neonatal foals.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the potential efficacy of blind perineural injection techniques to provide nerve blockade of the saphenous, obturator, and lateral cutaneous femoral nerves by assessing the distribution along those nerves of 3 volumes of an injected staining solution in dog cadavers.
ANIMALS 18 canine cadavers.
PROCEDURES The anatomic characteristics of the target nerves were evaluated by dissection in 3 cadavers. The saphenous nerve was located by the use of superficial anatomic landmarks and a loss-of-resistance test. The obturator and lateral cutaneous femoral nerves were located by the use of superficial anatomic landmarks. Following perineural administration of 3 volumes (0.1, 0.2, and 0.3 mL/kg) of staining solution near the target nerves in 15 cadavers, the distribution of the staining solution along the nerves was evaluated. Staining that extended ≥ 2 cm along the target nerves was considered to be compatible with an effective clinical nerve block.
RESULTS In all cadavers, nerves were appropriately stained by the blind techniques used here. The staining distribution along the nerves was considered to be optimal after perineural injection of 0.2 mL of staining solution/kg in the obturator and lateral cutaneous femoral nerves and 0.3 mL of staining solution/kg in the saphenous nerve.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results indicated that the evaluated blind perineural injection techniques may be an inexpensive, safe, and clinically effective method to block the saphenous, obturator, and lateral cutaneous femoral nerves in dogs.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the plasma total antioxidant capacity, erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity, whole blood glutathione peroxidase activity, and plasma coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) concentration in dogs with various stages of cardiovascular diseases and in healthy dogs; assess the influence of cardiac treatment on the levels of antioxidant variables, plasma CoQ10 concentration, and serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentration, and determine any correlation between the disease severity (NT-proBNP concentration) and antioxidant variables or CoQ10 concentration.
ANIMALS 43 dogs with various types and stages of cardiovascular diseases (congenital and acquired) and 29 healthy dogs.
PROCEDURES Blood samples were collected from all dogs for spectrophotometric assessment of antioxidant variables. Plasma CoQ10 concentration was determined with a high-performance liquid chromatography–atmospheric pressure chemical ionization–tandem mass spectrometry method. Serum NT-proBNP concentration was measured with an ELISA.
RESULTS Values for antioxidant variables did not differ among groups of dogs with cardiovascular diseases, regardless of disease stage or treatment. Plasma CoQ10 concentration was significantly increased in treated dogs with congestive heart failure (CHF), compared with untreated patients. However, plasma CoQ10 concentration did not differ among heart failure classes. A significant, negative correlation between serum NT-proBNP and plasma CoQ10 concentrations was identified in treated CHF-affected dogs, suggesting that low plasma CoQ10 concentration may be associated with increased severity of CHF.
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE The antioxidant variables evaluated were not altered in dogs with CHF, regardless of cardiac disease stage or treatment. Further investigation into the possible effects of CoQ10 supplementation in dogs with advanced stages of CHF is warranted.
