Manejo participativo de áreas protegidas: ¿Un paso hacia la autodeterminación de los pueblos indígenas?

En Bosawas el desarrollo del concepto sobre manejo participativo comenzó con la definición y decretación vertical de la misma por parte del estado sin ninguna consulta a los pueblos indígenas que en ella habitan. En los últimos 10 años se logró avanzar en el diagrama desde la izquierda hacia la derecha, aumentando la participación e influencia activa y el control por parte de los representantes de los territorios indígenas

Hip fracture outcomes in patients with COPD

Hip fractures are common in patients with COPD and contemporary outcome data is needed. Patients admitted with a hip fracture to one acute trust (2010-2015) were assessed prospectively (UK National Hip Fracture Database audit) and mortality data collected. Of the 4020 patients, 16.2% had a recorded COPD diagnosis. Mortality was significantly greater in patients with COPD compared to non-COPD: 30-days (12.6% vs 7.8%) and 1-year (35.3% vs 25.3%), both p[less than] 0.001 and remained significant after adjustment (aOR at 1 year 1.44 95% CI1.18 -1.76). There is further excess mortality following a hip fracture in those with COPD

Impact of Strain and Morphology on Magnetic Properties of Fe3O4/NiO Bilayers Grown on Nb:SrTiO3(001) and MgO(001)

Kuschel O, Pathé N, Schemme T, et al. Impact of Strain and Morphology on Magnetic Properties of Fe3O4/NiO Bilayers Grown on Nb:SrTiO3(001) and MgO(001). Materials. 2018;11(7): 1122.We present a comparative study of the morphology and structural as well as magnetic properties of crystalline Fe3O4/NiO bilayers grown on both MgO(001) and SrTiO3(001) substrates by reactive molecular beam epitaxy. These structures were investigated by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, X-ray reflectivity and diffraction, as well as vibrating sample magnetometry. While the lattice mismatch of NiO grown on MgO(001) was only 0.8%, it was exposed to a lateral lattice mismatch of -6.9% if grown on SrTiO3. In the case of Fe3O4, the misfit strain on MgO(001) and SrTiO3(001) amounted to 0.3% and -7.5%, respectively. To clarify the relaxation process of the bilayer system, the film thicknesses of the magnetite and nickel oxide films were varied between 5 and 20 nm. While NiO films were well ordered on both substrates, Fe3O4 films grown on NiO/SrTiO3 exhibited a higher surface roughness as well as lower structural ordering compared to films grown on NiO/MgO. Further, NiO films grew pseudomorphic in the investigated thickness range on MgO substrates without any indication of relaxation, whereas on SrTiO3 the NiO films showed strong strain relaxation. Fe3O4 films also exhibited strong relaxation, even for films of 5nm thickness on both NiO/MgO and NiO/SrTiO3. The magnetite layers on both substrates showed a fourfold magnetic in-plane anisotropy with magnetic easy axes pointing in directions. The coercive field was strongly enhanced for magnetite grown on NiO/SrTiO3 due to the higher density of structural defects, compared to magnetite grown on NiO/MgO

Enabling time-resolved 2D spatial-coherence measurements using the Fourier-analysis method with an integrated curved-grating beam monitor

Direct 2D spatial-coherence measurements are increasingly gaining importance at synchrotron beamlines, especially due to present and future upgrades of synchrotron facilities to diffraction-limited storage rings. We present a method to determine the 2D spatial coherence of synchrotron radiation in a direct and particularly simple way by using the Fourier-analysis method in conjunction with curved gratings. Direct photon-beam monitoring provided by a curved grating circumvents the otherwise necessary separate determination of the illuminating intensity distribution required for the Fourier-analysis method. Hence, combining these two methods allows for time-resolved spatial-coherence measurements. As a consequence, spatial-coherence degradation effects caused by beamline optics vibrations, which is one of the key issues of state-of-the-art X-ray imaging and scattering beamlines, can be identified and analyzed. © 2020 Optical Society of America

Impact of Strain and Morphology on Magnetic Properties of Fe3O4/NiO\mathrm{Fe_{3}O_{4}/NiO} Bilayers Grown on Nb:SrTiO3\mathrm{Nb:SrTiO_{3}}(001) and MgO(001)

We present a comparative study of the morphology and structural as well as magnetic properties of crystalline Fe$_3$O$_4$/NiO bilayers grown on both MgO(001) and SrTiO$_3$(001) substrates by reactive molecular beam epitaxy. These structures were investigated by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, low-energy electron diffraction, X-ray reflectivity and diffraction, as well as vibrating sample magnetometry. While the lattice mismatch of NiO grown on MgO(001) was only 0.8%, it was exposed to a lateral lattice mismatch of −6.9% if grown on SrTiO$_3$. In the case of Fe$_3$O$_4$, the misfit strain on MgO(001) and SrTiO$_3$(001) amounted to 0.3% and −7.5%, respectively. To clarify the relaxation process of the bilayer system, the film thicknesses of the magnetite and nickel oxide films were varied between 5 and 20 nm. While NiO films were well ordered on both substrates, Fe3O4 films grown on NiO/SrTiO$_3$ exhibited a higher surface roughness as well as lower structural ordering compared to films grown on NiO/MgO. Further, NiO films grew pseudomorphic in the investigated thickness range on MgO substrates without any indication of relaxation, whereas on SrTiO$_3$ the NiO films showed strong strain relaxation. Fe$_3$O$_4$ films also exhibited strong relaxation, even for films of 5 nm thickness on both NiO/MgO and NiO/SrTiO$_3$. The magnetite layers on both substrates showed a fourfold magnetic in-plane anisotropy with magnetic easy axes pointing in $⟨100⟩$ directions. The coercive field was strongly enhanced for magnetite grown on NiO/SrTiO$_3$ due to the higher density of structural defects, compared to magnetite grown on NiO/MgO
