title: Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda: Un siglo de manipulación e invención en torno a su autobiografía (1907-2007)
Creators: name: Gil, Ángeles Ezama
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2009

description: La autobiografía de la escritora cubana Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda ha sido sometida a diversas manipulaciones. En primer lugar, no es el texto escrito en 1839, y dado a conocer por Lorenzo Cruz de Fuentes en 1907, el único autobiográfico de la autora cubana, aunque sí el más difundido y aquel sobre el que se han basado buena parte de las interpretaciones tanto de la biografía como de la obra de Avellaneda. La edición del citado texto afianza una interesada imagen de la escritora que ha pesado irremisiblemente sobre la interpretación en torno a ella; versiones posteriores de dicho escrito han tendido a prolongar esta manipulación primera. En segundo lugar la autobiografía de la autora ha sido utilizada con alguna frecuencia como punto de partida para recreaciones imaginarias de su vida y su obra, que alcanzan hasta nuestros días.

description: Background: Antenatal care which is known as care given during pregnancy, is essential for diagnosing and treating complications that could endanger the lives of mother and child. Although most obstetric life-threatening conditions can be prevented through early and frequent access to antenatal care services the risk of dying from pregnancy-related causes is higher in Somaliland. Objective: the objective of this study was to determine the frequency and timing of antenatal care utilization and factors influencing it among reproductive-age women. Methods: A population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted among 330 randomly selected mothers who gave birth in the past two years in Borama, Somaliland. Result: Although a significant number of women utilized antenatal care in their pregnancy only 31.1% initiated the first visit within the first trimester and 48.3% received less than the recommended four visits. Fewer antenatal care visits were significantly associated with age (OR=3.018; CI=1.264-7.207), gravida (OR=3.295; CI=1.200-9.045), and gestation age (OR=1.737; CI=1.013-2.979). Early marriage (OR=0.495; CI=0.252-0.973), and large family size (OR=3.952; CI=1.330-11.742) were associated with delay of early commencement of the antenatal care. Conclusion: Higher probability of delay in antenatal care and fewer visits were obtained in women who were young, got pregnant multiple times, married at a young age, and had a large family size. Based on our findings, uplifting the socioeconomic status and literacy level of women through community-based education and developing strategies that would take the determining factors into account may contribute to improved and adequate utilization of antenatal care.

description: Usada hoy con ironía, con enojo, con lástima, con desprecio, la categoría estética de lo pintoresco se resiste al análisis. ¿Cómo tomarla en serio? E incluso si esto fuera posible, ¿no correríamos el riesgo de prestarle más atención de la que se merece a una forma de ver el mundo signada, en el mejor de los casos, por la superficialidad y la complacencia? En lo que hace a una sociedad esclavista como la cubana de mediados del siglo XIX, por ejemplo, ¿no implicaría esto convalidar el silencio sobre la explotación humana más extrema requerido por las elites para preservar su poder sin perder el sueño?

description: Introduction: Psychometric evaluation of the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12), a well-used scale for measuring health-related quality of life (HrQoL), has not been done in general populations in Indonesia. This study assessed the validity and reliability of the SF-12 in middle-aged and older adults. Methods: In total, 161 adults aged 46-81 years (70% female) self-completed the SF-12 and SF-36. Scaling assumptions, internal consistency reliability, and 1-week test-retest reliability were assessed for the SF-12. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess its construct validity. Correlations between SF-12 and SF-36 component scores were computed to assess convergent and divergent validity. Effect size differences were calculated between SF-12 and SF-36 component scores for assessing criterion validity. Results: Scaling assumptions were satisfactory. Internal consistency for the SF-12 Physical Component Summary (PCS-12) and the Mental Component Summary (MCS-12) were acceptable (a=0.72 and 0.73, respectively) and test-retest reliability was excellent (ICC=0.88 and 0.75, respectively). A moderate fit of the original two-latent structure to the data was found (root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA]=0.08). Allowing a correlation between physical and emotional role limitation subscales improved fit (RMSEA=0.04). Correlations between SF-12 and SF-36 component summary scores support convergent and divergent validity although a medium effect size difference between PCS-12 and PCS-36 (Cohen’s d=0.61) was found. Conclusion: This study provides the first evidence that SF-12 is a reliable and valid measure of HrQoL in Indonesian middle-aged and older adults. The algorithm for computing SF-12 and its association with SF-36 in the Indonesian population warrant further investigation.

description: Galaxy surveys have suggested that rapid and sustained decrease in the star-formation rate, "quenching", in massive disk galaxies is frequently related to the presence of a bar. Optical and near-IR observations reveal that nearly 60% of disk galaxies in the local universe are barred, thus it is important to understand the relationship between bars and star formation in disk galaxies. Recent observational results imply that the Milky Way quenched about 9-10 Gyr ago, at the transition between the cessation of the growth of the kinematically hot, old, metal-poor thick disk and the kinematically colder, younger, and more metal-rich thin disk. Although perhaps coincidental, the quenching episode could also be related to the formation of the bar. To explore the relation between bar formation and star formation in gas rich galaxies quantitatively, we simulated gas-rich disk isolated galaxies. Our simulations include prescriptions for star formation, stellar feedback, and for regulating the multi-phase interstellar medium. We find that the action of stellar bar efficiently quenches star formation, reducing the star-formation rate by a factor of 10 in less than 1 Gyr. Analytical and self-consistent galaxy simulations with bars suggest that the action of the stellar bar increases the gas random motions within the co-rotation radius of the bar. Indeed, we detect an increase in the gas velocity dispersion up to 20-35 km/s at the end of the bar formation phase. The star-formation efficiency decreases rapidly, and in all of our models, the bar quenches the star formation in the galaxy. The star-formation efficiency is much lower in simulated barred compared to unbarred galaxies and more rapid bar formation implies more rapid quenching.

description: An elementary step in drug policy analysis is comparing the cost of an intervention to its benefit in the form of the social cost averted because of reduced drug use and associated consequences. One would think that cost of illness (COI) studies would provide a solid foundation for quantifying the benefits of reduced drug use, but at present they do not. This paper suggests ways the COI studies could be adapted to serve better policy analytic purposes.

description: Introduction: Tobacco Consumption (TC) is one of the main causes of the deterioration of health. The objetive this study is to test the association of smoking with anthropometry, diet and sleep quality among Chilean university students. Cross-sectional study. University students (n=1454) from the North, South and Central parts of Chile were evaluated. A self-assessment survey was used to evaluate healthy and unhealthy eating habits, nutritional status was evaluated by Body Mass Index (BMI). And two surveys of sleep: the Questionnaire of Insomnia and the Epworth scale. Finally, he was consulted about tobacco Consumption. 30% of students consume tobacco, they have a higher score in unhealthy food consumption, less frequent weekly consumption, less daily fruit consumption, higher alcohol consumption and daily junk food consumption compared to non-consuming students. Men who consume tobacco present greater insomnia, sleep latency and daytime sleepiness compared to non-consumers; and women who consume tobacco have a higher weight and BMI. When performing the logistic regression, tobacco consumption is positively associated with alcohol consumption, whereas fish and vegetable consumption negatively. In conclusions, the students of both sexes who smoke have higher unfavorable health factors and quality of life

Linking the Climate and Thermal Phase Curve of 55 Cancri e

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The thermal phase curve of 55 Cancri e is the first measurement of the temperature distribution of a tidally locked Super-Earth, but raises a number of puzzling questions about the planet's climate. The phase curve has a high amplitude and peak offset, suggesting that it has a significant eastward hot-spot shift as well as a large day-night temperature contrast. We use a general circulation model to model potential climates, and investigate the relation between bulk atmospheric composition and the magnitude of these seemingly contradictory features. We confirm theoretical models of tidally locked circulation are consistent with our numerical model of 55 Cnc e, and rule out certain atmospheric compositions based on their thermodynamic properties. Our best-fitting atmosphere has a significant hot-spot shift and day-night contrast, although these are not as large as the observed phase curve. We discuss possible physical processes which could explain the observations, and show that night-side cloud formation from species such as SiO from a day-side magma ocean could potentially increase the phase curve amplitude and explain the observations. We conclude that the observations could be explained by an optically thick atmosphere with a low mean molecular weight, a surface pressure of several bar and a strong eastward circulation, with night-side cloud formation a possible explanation for the difference between our model and the observations.

description: We discuss aspects of the problem of assigning probabilities in eternal inflation. In particular, we investigate a recent suggestion that the lowest energy de Sitter vacuum in the landscape is effectively stable. The associated proposal for probabilities would relegate lower energy vacua to unlikely excursions of a high entropy system. We note that it would also imply that the string theory landscape is experimentally ruled out. However, we extensively analyze the structure of the space of Coleman-De Luccia solutions, and we present analytic arguments, as well as numerical evidence, that the decay rate varies continuously as the false vacuum energy goes through zero. Hence, low-energy de Sitter vacua do not become anomalously stable; negative and zero cosmological constant regions cannot be neglected.

description: The relativistic quasiparticle time-blocking approximation (RQTBA) is applied to the description of nuclear excitation modes of astrophysical interest. This method is based on the meson-nucleon Lagrangian and goes beyond the standard relativistic quasiparticle random-phase approximation (RQRPA) by treating the coupling between single quasiparticles and collective vibrations of the nucleus. We calculate electric dipole transitions and Gamow-Teller modes in the (p,n) direction in a few Sn isotopes and obtain the rates of (n,$γ$) reaction and $β^-$-decay processes, which govern the r-process nucleosynthesis, in a unified RQTBA framework. Gamow-Teller transitions in the (n,p) branch, which in principle can serve for the modeling of stellar evolution, are also investigated, and $^{90}$Zr is taken as a study case.

description: We present the aperture synthesis imaging of C3H2 2_{12}-1_{01} and HCO+ 1-0 lines and of continuum emission at 3.4 mm toward the class 0 young stellar object, IRAS 18148-0440 in the L483 molecular cloud. The continuum emission is detected at the IRAS position at a level of 16 mJy, indicating a compact source with a 0.13 solar mass. The C3H2 delineates an envelope near the IRAS position, with a size of 3000 AU x 2000 AU in R.A. and Dec. directions, respectively. A velocity gradient detected only along the axis of outflow can be explained in terms of free-fall motion of the envelope. The HCO+ line wing extends up to the velocity of +- 6 km s^{-1} relative to the systemic one, and the high velocity material shows a symmetric bipolarity and extends over 2' or 0.1 pc along the east-west direction. It is found that the outflow material is clumpy and the opening angle is widest for the slowest moving component. The core component of the HCO+ 1-0 line exhibits an anti-infall asymmetry not only in interferometric but also in single dish observations. It is attributable to the slow isotropic outward motion of gas between the flattened envelope and the collimated outflow.

We start with the analysis of the case when the moduli space of complex structures is one-dimensional; later we show that our methods can be used to prove integrality in general case. We give an expression of instanton numbers in terms of Frobenius map on $p$-adic cohomology ; the proof of integrality is based on this expression.

description: Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most common cancers affecting men globally. Although PER3 has been suggested as a risk factor for cancer development, there are few reports elucidating the relationship between PER3 and PCa. We investigated the association between PER3 polymorphisms (rs2640908 and VNTR) and susceptibility to PCa in the Japanese population. Methods: Eighty three patients with PCa and 122 controls participated in this study. We analyzed rs2640908 and VNTR polymorphisms by using PCR–Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR–RFLP). Results: Compared to the C/C genotype with the rs2640908 polymorphism, the T/T (OR: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.15–0.81, P = 0.02) and C/T + T/T (OR: 0.46, 95% CI: 0.24–0.88, P = 0.02) genotypes had a significantly lower risk of PCa. TT (OR: 0.29, 95% CI: 0.10–0.77, P = 0.02) and CT + TT (OR: 0.47, 95% CI: 0.23–0.97, P = 0.04) also had significant protection against PCa in the smoker group. Significantly, we observed an association between smoking and rs2640908 polymorphism in this study. However, no association between the VNTR polymorphisms and PCa was detected. Conclusions: Our results suggest that PER3 rs2640908 polymorphisms influence an individual’s susceptibility to PCa.

description: Introduction: Social campaigns concerning vaccinations against human papillomavirus (HPV) in Poland are mainly addressed to women. In addition to cervical cancer, anal, penile, and oropharyngeal cancers can be caused by the virus, which clearly affects men as well. HPV vaccinations are voluntary and mostly not refunded in Poland. Methods: A survey was published on social media’s group gathering males and contained questions concerning epidemiological data, knowledge about HPV, and opinions of HPV vaccination. A questionnaire was enriched with educational note regarding HPV-dependent cancers and available vaccines against HPV in Poland. Results: Because of age limitations, 169 males (115 heterosexuals, 48 homosexuals) aged 14-39 were chosen for the study. Seventy-five percent of heterosexual and 88% of homosexual men were aware of HPV, but less than 4% and 17% (respectively) were vaccinated against the virus. Main sources of knowledge about HPV were the Internet (61%), media (28%) and relatives (27%). HPV infection was linked with the development of anal and oropharyngeal cancers by 28%, and 37% of heterosexual males, compared with 56.3% and 43.8% of homosexual males. The majority of respondents (88%) indicated that all genders should be vaccinated, although only 57% were aware of HPV vaccination availability in Poland. Conclusions: The men are at risk of HPV-related cancers and the danger is poorly understood amongst Polish men. Despite awareness of HPV vaccines, the vaccination rate is low. Consequently, there is a serious need to broaden educational with a special attention to LGBTQ+ communities.

description: Stochastic models and Monte Carlo algorithms for simulation of flow through porous media beyond the small hydraulic conductivity fluctuation assumptions are developed. The hydraulic conductivity is modelled as an isotropic random field with a lognormal distribution and prescribed correlation or spectral functions. It is sampled by a Monte Carlo method based on a randomized spectral representation. The Darcy and continuity equations with the random hydraulic conductivity are solved numerically, using the successive over relaxation method in order to extract statistical characteristics of the flow. Hybrid averaging is used: we combine spatial and ensemble avergaing to get efficient numerical procedure. We provide some conceptual and numerical comparison of various stochastic simulation techniques, and focus on the prediction of applicability of the randomized spectral models derived under the assumption of small hydraulic conductivity fluctuations.

description: To cope with the harsh environment foreseen at the high luminosity conditions of HL- LHC, the ATLAS pixel detector has to be upgraded to be fully efficient with a good granularity, a maximized geometrical acceptance and an high read out rate. LPNHE, FBK and INFN are involved in the development of thin and edgeless planar pixel sensors in which the insensitive area at the border of the sensor is minimized thanks to the active edge technology. In this paper we report on two productions, a first one consisting of 200 μm thick n-on-p sensors with active edge, a second one composed of 100 and 130 μm thick n-on-p sensors. Those sensors have been tested on beam, both at CERN-SPS and at DESY and their performance before and after irradiation will be presented.

description: We consider the model of modified gravity with dynamical torsion. This model was found to have promising stability properties about various backgrounds. The model admits a self-accelerating solution. We have shown previously that if the parameters are adjusted in such a way that the torsion is much greater than the effective cosmological constant, the self-accelerating solution is unstable: there are exponentially growing modes. Here we study the scalar perturbations in the case when the torsion is of the order of the effective cosmological constant. We find that there are no exponential instabilities.

description: An elementary step in drug policy analysis is comparing the cost of an intervention to its benefit in the form of the social cost averted because of reduced drug use and associated consequences. One would think that cost of illness (COI) studies would provide a solid foundation for quantifying the benefits of reduced drug use, but at present they do not. This paper suggests ways the COI studies could be adapted to serve better policy analytic purposes.

description: Under Bernstein's condition a non-asymptotic exponential estimation for the probability of deviations of a sum of independent random fields in uniform norm is proposed. Application of this result to the problem of the error estimation for the dependent sampling Monte Carlo method is presented. It is shown that in the domain of moderately large deviations the suggested estimations have optimal asymptotics.

description: Randomized Spectral Models (RSM) and Randomized Fourier-Wavelet Models (FWM) for simulation of homogeneous Gaussian random fields based on spectral representations and plane wave decomposition of random fields are developed. Extensions of FWM to vector random processes are constructed. Convergence of the constructed Fourier-Wavelet models (in the sense of finite-dimensional distributions) under some general conditions on the spectral tensor is given. A comparative analysis of RSM and FWM is made by calculating Eulerian and Lagrangian statistical characteristics of a 3D isotropic incompressible random field through an ensemble and space averaging

description: Linear logical frameworks with subexponentials have been used for the specification of among other systems, proof systems, concurrent programming languages and linear authorization logics. In these frameworks, subexponentials can be configured to allow or not for the application of the contraction and weakening rules while the exchange rule can always be applied. This means that formulae in such frameworks can only be organized as sets and multisets of formulae not being possible to organize formulae as lists of formulae. This paper investigates the proof theory of linear logic proof systems in the non-commutative variant. These systems can disallow the application of exchange rule on some subexponentials. We investigate conditions for when cut-elimination is admissible in the presence of non-commutative subexponentials, investigating the interaction of the exchange rule with local and non-local contraction rules. We also obtain some new undecidability and decidability results on non-commutative linear logic with subexponentials.

description: We use energy minimization principles to predict the structure of a decagonal quasicrystal - d(AlCoNi) - in the Cobalt-rich phase. Monte Carlo methods are then used to explore configurations while relaxation and molecular dynamics are used to obtain a more realistic structure once a low energy configuration has been found. We find five-fold symmetric decagons 12.8 A in diameter as the characteristic formation of this composition, along with smaller pseudo-five-fold symmetric clusters filling the spaces between the decagons. We use our method to make comparisons with a recent experimental approximant structure model from Sugiyama et al (2002).

description: La présente étude se propose d’établir l’influence que pourrait avoir la nature du contrat de travail sur la performance individuelle à la SANRU, étant donné que les formes de contrat les plus usuelles dans le monde du travail y sont aussi proposées, notamment contrat à durée déterminée et contrat à durée indéterminée. Nous partons de l’idée à priori selon laquelle : ceux qui possèdent le Contrat à durée déterminée doivent fournir un grand effort au cours de l’exécution de leur contrat, faisant preuve de plus de performance et de savoir-faire, afin de voir à la prochaine occasion leur nature de contrat être reconduite ou convertie d’emblée. Ceux qui possèdent le Contrat à durée indéterminée sont performants au regard de la gratification psychologique liée à la nature de leur contrat. Pour élaborer cette étude, nous avons fait recours à la méthode comparative. Cette dernière a été soutenue par les techniques suivantes : documentaire, analyse de contenu, questionnaire d’enquête et technique statistique.

description: Optical model potentials for elastic nucleon nucleus scattering are calculated for a number of target nuclides from a full-folding integral of two different realistic target density matrices together with full off-shell nucleon-nucleon t-matrices derived from two different Bonn meson exchange models. Elastic proton and neutron scattering observables calculated from these full-folding optical potentials are compared to those obtained from `optimum factorized' approximations in the energy regime between 65 and 400 MeV projectile energy. The optimum factorized form is found to provide a good approximation to elastic scattering observables obtained from the full-folding optical potentials, although the potentials differ somewhat in the structure of their nonlocality.

A multiple scales approach to maximal superintegrability

Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)

description: In this paper we present a simple, algorithmic test to establish if a Hamiltonian system is maximally superintegrable or not. This test is based on a very simple corollary of a theorem due to Nekhoroshev and on a perturbative technique called multiple scales method. If the outcome is positive, this test can be used to suggest maximal superintegrability, whereas when the outcome is negative it can be used to disprove it. This method can be regarded as a finite dimensional analog of the multiple scales method as a way to produce soliton equations. We use this technique to show that the real counterpart of a mechanical system found by Jules Drach in 1935 is, in general, not maximally superintegrable. We give some hints on how this approach could be applied to classify maximally superintegrable systems by presenting a direct proof of the well-known Bertrand's theorem.

description: This study sought to examine the challenges of the TVET sector in meeting graduate employability in the changing employment dynamics in Kenya. Specific objectives included establishing the influence of institutional objectives, and operational departmental plans of TVET institutions on graduate employability in Kenya. The study was anchored on resource-based view theory and strategic theory and used descriptive research design focusing on a sample of 353 key management staffs from public and private TVET institutions from the 4 Nairobi metropolitan counties of Nairobi, Machakos, Kiambu and Kajiado. Primary data was collected using a structured questionnaire, and descriptive statistics and thematic methods applied in data analysis. Analyzed data was presented using tables, figures, and narratives. The study noted that institutional objectives and operational departmental plans had significant influence on TVET graduate employability in Kenya. Regarding the influence of institutional objectives in TVET institutions on graduate employability in Kenya, the study concluded that the institutions should always have strong objectives which are clearly aligned to their mission. With a P-value of 0.002 (p=0.002<0.05) at 5% level of significance, it was concluded that institutional objectives had a significant influence on graduate employability. Furthermore, operational department plans influenced capacity of TVETs, especially when it comes to specialization and innovativeness. With a P-value of 0.000 (p=0.000<0.05) at 5% level of significance, it was concluded that operational departmental plans had a significant influence on institutional improvement for graduate employability. The study recommended that TVET institutions should constantly set clear short-term and long-term goals and objectives which guide them in their strategy review and general development journey as well as create different departments and allocate them sufficient resources for coordinating registration and training of students on specific courses

description: In this paper we study the mean and standard deviation of concentrations using random walk models. Two-particle models that takes into account the space correlation of the turbulence are introduced and some properties of the distribution of the particle concentration are studied. In order to reduce the CPU time of the calculation a new estimator based on reverse time diffusion is applied. This estimator has been introduced recently by Milstein, Schoenmakers, and Spokoiny (2004). Some numerical aspects of the implementation are discussed for relative simple test problems and finally a realistic application to predict the spreading of the pollutant in the Dutch coastal zone is described.

description: Introduction. Influenza is a highly contagious acute respiratory illness. Due to the high exposure of hospital personnel, widespread vaccination of these high-risk groups seems to be a necessity in healthcare centers. To determine vaccination coverage in the personnel of four tertiary referral collegiate hospitals in 2019, and to further investigate individual obstacles for Influenza vaccination. Methods. In this cross-sectional descriptive study, 637 personnel were selected randomly from distinctive hospitals in a list-wised. Ones vaccinated filled the side effects questionnaire and who not vaccinated filled the vaccination obstacles questionnaire. Results. The mean vaccination coverage was 29.4% and the coverage difference among centers was not statistically significant (p=0.192). The following items had the most impact on personnel decision: confidence about one’s immune system (p<0.05), the experience of side effects from previous vaccinations (p=0.011), attitude about vaccination in colleagues (p=0.021) and work experience (p<0.05). About 23% of vaccinated individuals reported side effects following vaccination and the most common side effect was mild cold symptoms with 12.3% prevalence. Conclusion. The results of the current study revealed that influenza vaccination coverage among HCWs is not satisfactory in Iran. Hospital authorities and infection control units should plan to remove the obstacles of influenza vaccination.
