Project of a conceptual design in BIM of a hospital

Differences in climate, habits and diseases in different parts of the world create a great variability of care needs that the population needs to be covered. The most important of these is health. The aim of this project is to study the rooms needed in two specific units of a hospital, the surgical and the emergency unit, and to relate them to the population, in order to obtain an algorithm that quantifies and sizes them according to the population. Based on this algorithm, it is wanted to visualise the data dynamically and dump it in Revit to obtain a BIM model that is capable of varying the distributions depending on the selected inputs. This project begins with the study of the care units of a hospital and then focuses on the functional plan of the surgical and the emergency unit. Based on the functional plan, the relationship between the inputs and the number and dimensions of the rooms in both units is studied. From these relationships, an algorithm is created and written in Python in order to calculate the results based on the data entered and to visualise them in a web environment. Finally, the formulation of coordinates that can locate each of the rooms in a plan according to the inputs, without overlapping one over the other, is studied and the data is dumped into Dynamo for its design in Revit. This study demonstrates the variability in the dimensions and number of rooms needed in a hospital to serve a specific population, by number of people and by location. In the case of this project, the regulations were studied and applied at a state level, but the surgical and emergency unit attendance is different in each autonomous community, which is reason enough to present the possibility of making this study more generic and with more variables so that it can be used in any part of the world

Reseña de "LA PROFESIÓN UNIVERSITARIA EN EL CONTEXTO DE LA MODERNIZACIÓN" de Teresa Pacheco Méndez y Ángel Díaz Barriga

La lectura de este libro es una lectura obligada para los docentes, explora uno de los territorios en los que el conocimiento y sus tradicionales mecanismos institucionales de preservación (la profesión y la formación de profesionales) encaran la nueva dinámica del cambio, sobrellevando sus efectos. El principal interés de los autores es salir al encuentro de los puntos de contradicción a los que se enfrentan actualmente nuestras instituciones universitarias, que asumen la elevada responsabilidad de generar conocimiento y de formar sujetos sociales, con la perspectiva de ganar terreno a la fragmentación y a la segmentación de la vida institucional, producto de la modernización

Infecção por riquétsias em carrapatos de aves silvestres em duas ecorregiões da Argentina

Several tick-borne Rickettsia species are recognized human pathogens in Argentina. Here we evaluated rickettsial infection in ticks collected on passerine birds during 2011-2012 in two eco-regions of Argentina. The ticks were processed by molecular analysis through polymerase chain reaction (PCR) detection and DNA sequencing of fragments of two rickettsial genes, gltA and ompA. A total of 594 tick specimens (532 larvae and 62 nymphs), representing at least 4 species (Amblyomma tigrinum, Ixodes pararicinus, Haemaphysalis juxtakochi, Haemaphysalis leporispalustris), were evaluated. At least one A. tigrinum larva, collected on Coryphospingus cucullatus in Chaco Seco, was infected with Rickettsia parkeri, whereas at least 12 larvae and 1 nymph of I. pararicinus, collected from Troglodytes aedon, Turdus amaurochalinus, Turdus rufiventris, C. cucullatus and Zonotrichia capensis, were infected with an undescribed Rickettsia agent, genetically related to several rickettsial endosymbionts of ticks of the Ixodes ricinus complex. R. parkeri is a recognized human pathogen in several American countries including Argentina, where a recent study incriminated A. tigrinum as the potential vector of R. parkeri to humans. Birds could play an important role in dispersing R. parkeri-infected A. tigrinum ticks. Additionally, we report for the first time a rickettsial agent infecting I. pararicinus ticks.Algumas espécies de Rickettsia transmitidas por carrapatos são reconhecidos como patógenos humanos na Argentina. Este presente trabalho avaliou a infecção por Rickettsia em carrapatos coletados em aves passeriformes, durante 2011-2012, em duas ecorregiões da Argentina. Os carrapatos foram processados pela reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR) e sequenciamento de DNA de dois genes de Rickettsia: gltA e ompA. Ao todo, 594 amostras de carrapatos (532 larvas e 62 ninfas), representando pelo menos 4 espécies (Amblyomma tigrinum, Ixodes pararicinus, Haemaphysalis juxtakochi, Haemaphysalis leporispalustris), foram avaliadas. Pelo menos uma larva de A. tigrinum, coletada de Coryphospingus cucullatus no Chaco Seco, estava infectada com Rickettsia parkeri, enquanto pelo menos 12 larvas e 1 ninfa de I. pararicinus, coletadas de Troglodytes aedon, Turdus amaurochalinus, Turdus rufiventris, C. cucullatus e Zonotrichia capensis estavam infectadas com Rickettsia sp., geneticamente relacionada a vários endossimbiontes riquetsiais de carrapatos do complexo Ixodes ricinus. R. parkeri é reconhecidamente um patógeno humano em alguns países americanos, incluindo a Argentina, onde um estudo recente incriminou A. tigrinum como um provável vetor. Aves poderiam desempenhar um papel importante na dispersão de carrapatos A. tigrinum infectados por R. parkeri. Em adição, relata-se pela primeira vez a infecção por Rickettsia em I. pararicinus.Fil: Flores, Fernando Sebastián. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Facultad de Medicina.

Técnicas e instrumentos químico-farmacéuticos en México (1849-1925)

ArtículoDurante el siglo xix y las primeras décadas del xx, la investigación científica desarrollada en México giraba principalmente en torno al estudio de las plantas medicinales. Se analizan los instrumentos y técnicas utilizados durante este periodo por los farmacéuticos en sus labores de docencia e investigación. Su empleo estaba relacionado con la realización de análisis químicos de acuerdo con los procedimientos de las escuelas de farmacia europeas y se procuraba especialmente la búsqueda de alcaloides de utilidad terapéutica. Este interés de los farmacéuticos en el desarrollo de la enseñanza y la práctica del análisis químico fue fundamen- tal y eventualmente permitió el establecimiento de la carrera de químico farmacéutico biólogo

Anderson Localization Phenomenon in One-dimensional Elastic Systems

The phenomenon of Anderson localization of waves in elastic systems is studied. We analyze this phenomenon in two different set of systems: disordered linear chains of harmonic oscillators and disordered rods which oscillate with torsional waves. The first set is analyzed numerically whereas the second one is studied both experimentally and theoretically. In particular, we discuss the localization properties of the waves as a function of the frequency. In doing that we have used the inverse participation ratio, which is related to the localization length. We find that the normal modes localize exponentially according to Anderson theory. In the elastic systems, the localization length decreases with frequency. This behavior is in contrast with what happens in analogous quantum mechanical systems, for which the localization length grows with energy. This difference is explained by means of the properties of the re ection coefficient of a single scatterer in each case.Comment: 15 pages, 10 figure
