Artesanos del Lenguaje : un encuentro entre la escritura y la labor artesanal en la Universidad

RESUMEN: Artesanos del Lenguaje: un encuentro entre la escritura y la labor artesanal en la Universidad, es la aventura que emprendemos hacia descubrir los hilos que nos conectan como maestras-escritoras con el Artesano, esta figura medieval que se caracteriza por el compromiso con el trabajo y la disciplina de su quehacer. Ponemos de manifiesto nuestra experiencia con la escritura y sus dinámicas dentro de la Universidad, al igual que nuestro transitar por lo que constituyó el taller de escritura Artesanos del Lenguaje, una experiencia que se tejía alrededor de la imagen y la forma. Proponemos pensar en una escritura artesanal, donde la forma, o el cuerpo de las palabras, sea cultivada y trabajada como una artesanía. Este trabajo es una oda a la escritura, al trabajo en el que cuesta encontrar las palabras correctas, a lo divertido que es jugar con las letras, cambiarlas de lugar, mancharlas, tacharlas, pintarlas, darles forma.ABSTRACT: Language Craftsmen: Convergences between writing and handcrafted work at University, is the adventure we take on towards discovering the threads that connect us as teacher-writers with the craftsman, this medieval figure that’s characterized by the compromise with their labour and discipline of their task. We put at display our experience with writing and it’s dynamics inside the University of Antioquia, as well as our path through what constituted the writing workshop Artesanos del Lenguaje, an experience that threaded around image and shape. We propose to think of an artisanal writing, where the shape, or body, of words is cultivated and elaborated like a craft. This paper is an ode to writing, to the work it takes to find the right words, the fun there is in playing with the letters, switch them up, stain them, strike them, paint them, give them shape. Keywords: Craftsman, writing, image, shape, experience, universit

C/El Herreño, San Cristóbal de La Laguna, Tenerife; España.Fil: Castillo Ruiz, Carolina. Universidad de La Laguna. Facultad de Ciencias. Sección de Biología. Tenerife, España.The fossil record of the Canary Islands has a great importance and outstanding nature due to its preservation in a context of oceanic and active volcanic islands. Along the fact that some of the paleontological sites are located near the coast, the difficulty of their preservation is increased. In this work we present the use of the 3D digitalization technique called photogrammetry for the first time in the Canary Islands. The chosen fossil site was Igueste de San Andrés, located inside the Anaga Biosphere Reserve (Tenerife, Canary Islands), which was recently proposed to become a site of Cultural Interest (Palaentological Zone). This fossil site was selected because of its complexity to test conventional photogrammetry usefulness. As a result, it was obtained that in cases of extensive and complex coastal deposits such as the one studied, models may be improved by using drones. Likewise, it is proposed the creation of a digital catalogue as a monitoring, preservation and dissemination tool for the canarian paleontological heritageEl registro fósil de Canarias tiene una gran relevancia y una naturaleza excepcional debido a su conservación en un contexto de islas oceánicas y volcánicas activas. Dicha naturaleza, junto con el hecho de que algunos de los yacimientos se localizan próximos a la línea de costa, hace que sea difícil la preservación de los mismos. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de la aplicación, por primera vez en un yacimiento paleontológico de Canarias, de la técnica de digitalización 3D fotogrametría. El yacimiento escaneado fue el de Igueste de San Andrés, localizado dentro de la Reserva de la Biosfera de Anaga (Tenerife, Islas Canarias) y recientemente propuesto como un Bien de Interés Cultural (Zona Paleontológica). Dicho yacimiento se eligió por su complejidad para testar la utilidad de la fotogrametría convencional. Como resultado se obtuvo que para el caso de yacimientos costeros extensos y complejos como el estudiado, los modelos pueden ser mejorados con el empleo de drones. Asimismo, se propone la creación de un catálogo digital como herramienta de monitoreo, conservación y difusión del patrimonio paleontológico canario

A new miocene–pliocene ichnotaxon for vermetid anchoring bioerosion structures

A revision of Renichnus arcuatus Mayoral, 1987, the vermetid attachment etching trace fossil (fixichnia), is presented here with an emended diagnosis. Renichnus arcuatus should be used only for nested reniform depressions arranged in linear series or solitary ones. A new ichnotaxon, Santichnus mayorali ichnogen. et ichnosp. nov., is described to name a bioerosion structure that previous authors included under R. arcuatus. The new trace fossil comes from the Miocene–Pliocene deposits from Fuerteventura and Lanzarote, Canary Islands, and is characterized as a shallow canal, semicircular in cross-section that occurs on the surface of hard substrates. Santichnus mayorali follows a logarithmic spiral path that may depart in its outer whorl in a somewhat straight shaft that becomes recurved back toward the spiral. From an actualistic point of view, this new ichnotaxon is interpreted as the anchorage bioerosion structure of vermetid gastropods. Given the close relationship between the two ichnotaxa (Renichnus and Santichnus) that share vermetid gastropods as their tracemakers, it is proposed that they should be considered as compound trace fossils when they occur interconnected

First nearly complete skull of Gallotia auaritae (lower-middle Pleistocene, Squamata, Gallotiinae) and a morphological phylogenetic analysis of the genus Gallotia

The Canary Islands are an Atlantic archipelago known for its high number of endemic species. Among the most known endemic vertebrate species are the giant lizards of the genus Gallotia. We describe the cranial osteology of the first almost complete and articulated fossil skull of the taxon Gallotia auaritae, recovered from the lower-middle Pleistocene of the La Palma island. In this work, X-ray computed microtomography images were used to perform an exhaustive phylogenetic analysis where most of the extant and fossil species of the genus Gallotia were included for first time. This analysis recovered a monophyletic Gallotia clade with similar topology to that of molecular analyses. The newly described specimen shares some characters with the group formed by G. bravoana, G. intermedia and G. simonyi, G. auaritae, and its position is compatible with a referral to the latter. Our study adds new important data to the poorly known cranial morphology of G. auaritae, and the phylogenetic analysis reveals an unexpected power of resolution to obtain a morphology-based phylogeny for the genus Gallotia, for inferring the phylogenetic position of extinct species and for helping in the identification of fossil specimens.Fil: Cruzado Caballero, Penélope.

Role of Exocrine and Endocrine Insufficiency in the Management of Patients with Chronic Pancreatitis

Background: Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency results from the destruction of the pancreatic parenchyma and is diagnosed by using direct or indirect tests, both of which have shortcomings. Chronic pancreatitis is the most frequent cause of this pathology in adults. Methods: Patients meeting radiological or histological diagnostic criteria of chronic pancreatitis are enrolled and the stool elastase test is conducted, considering fecal elastase levels >200 µg/g to represent normal pancreatic function, and levels <200 µg/g to indicate the presence of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. Additionally, we determine the body mass index of the patients and study their nutritional status and main biochemical and hematological variables, including their glucose and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels. Results: Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is detected in 60% of the patients. Among these, 83.3% are severe cases, and 72% of the latter also are diagnosed with endocrine pancreatic insufficiency (diabetes mellitus). During the nutritional status study, HbA1c levels are significantly higher, and magnesium and prealbumin levels are significantly lower in patients with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency than in those without this disease. Conclusions: Exocrine and endocrine pancreatic insufficiency are highly prevalent among patients with chronic pancreatitis and an early diagnosis of these diseases is vital to improve the clinical management of these patients and reduce their risk of mortality.Junta de Andalucia PC-0549-2017 PC-0498-201

3d fossils and climate change: Innovative experience in environmental sciences

Se presentan conceptos claros, actualizaciones tecnológicas y la utilidad de los recursos didácticos del entorno, como hilo conductor sobre las soluciones locales a los cambios rápidos en la Naturaleza, y las consecuencias de un cambio climático global hacia un progresivo calentamiento. Para ello se ha realizado un taller titulado «Fósiles y Cambio de Clima» con un grupo de 40 alumnos/as de Ciencias ambientales. Este taller consta de dos sesiones, una informativa y otra práctica con fósiles reales, y modelos y réplicas 3D, seleccionados a partir del registro fósil de Canarias del Neógeno y Cuaternario (últimos 23 millones de años). Para la validación de los datos de las encuestas al alumnado sobre la motivación y creatividad del taller, se utilizó un cuestionario previo de afección y conocimientos; además, tras el taller, se cumplimentó un cuestionario de aprendizaje. Los resultados son significativos, destacando de entre ellos, por su originalidad, el uso de modelos 3D que favorece la distinción de organismos a nivel de especie. Es evidente el interés del alumnado por aprender sobre la tecnología 3D, y que el conocimiento del Cambio Climático a través de los fósiles se valora como una manera motivadora y creativa para su aprendizaje.Clear concepts, technological updates and the usefulness of the didactic resources of the environment are presented, as a common thread on local solutions to rapid changes in nature, and the consequences of a global climate change towards a progressive warming. For this purpose, a workshop entitled «Fossils and Climate Change» was held with a group of 40 Environmental Science students. This workshop consists of two sessions, one informative and another practice with real fossils, and models and 3D replicas, selected from the Neogene and Quaternary fossil record of the Canary Islands (last 23 million years). For the validation of the data of the surveys to the students on the motivation and creativity of the workshop, a previous questionnaire of affection and knowledge was used; In addition, after the workshop, a learning questionnaire was completed. The results are significant, highlighting among them, for their originality, the use of 3D models that favors the distinction of taxa at the species level. It is evident the interest of the students to learn about 3D technology, and that knowledge of Climate Change through fossils is valued as a motivating and creative way for their learning.Fil: Castillo Ruiz, Carolina.

Shearwater Eggs in Lobos 3, a Holocene Site of Fuerteventura (Canary Islands)

Two eggs (L29 and N28) were recovered in the Holocene site of Lobos 3, (Islote de Lobos, north Fuerteventura, Canary Islands), the site has been interpreted as a purple dye workshop from the Early Roman Empire Epoch. For the first time, eggs from a Holocene deposit of the Canary Islands have been analyzed in terms of size, shape, and biomineral structure, and studied on the basis of several thin sections and SEM analysis. The analysis of the remains allowed the assignation of both eggs to Procellariidae birds, thanks to the relative proportion of the eggshell layers and the vesiculation patterns. The size of the eggs allowed the assignation of L29 to cf. Calonectris/Puffinus, and to cf. Puffinus for N28. The absence of more structural analysis on Procellariiformes eggshells prevent a more specific assignation. The accumulation pattern of the eggs is compatible with a seasonal occupation pattern of the Roman site

Fósiles inteligentes: aplicaciones educativas de los modelos tridimensionales de los lagartos gigantes de Canarias

Desde el Área de Paleontología de la Universidad de La Laguna se está llevando a cabo la creación de una colección de modelos digitales de fósiles para su uso en educación y divulgación. Se ha demostrado que el empleo de modelos digitales son muy eficaces a la hora de hacer participe al público general de los resultados obtenidos en las investigaciones científicas. Apoyandose en la experiencia obte- nida en un trabajo previo en el que se crearon contenidos multimedia a partir de materiales fósiles de invertebrados, el Área de Paleontología ha iniciado un nuevo proyecto con materiales actuales y fósiles de lagartos gigantes endémicos de la Islas Canarias pertenecientes al género Gallotia. Dicho proyecto consta de dos fases, una primera en la que se obtendrá información científica y una segunda en la que se adaptaran los resultados para la generración de contenidos multi- media para el público general. Como primeros resultados del proyecto se han realizado con éxito las microtómografías, modelizaciones e impresiones de los especímenes en estudio y se ha iniciado con el estudio y obtención de información paleobiológica que será empleada en ambas fases.The Paleontology Area of La Laguna University has been developing a collection of digital models of fossils in order to use them in education and divulgation. It has been shown that the use of digital models are effective in getting closer the general public to the results obtained in scientific research. Based on the experience gained in previous work where multimedia contents were created from fossil invertebrate materials, the Paleontology Area has started a new project with present and fossils remains of endemic giant lizards from the Canary Islands belonging to the Ga- llotia genus. The project consists of two stages: firstly, scientific information will be obtained and secondly in which the results will be adapted to generate multimedia contents. The first results of the project were microtomographies, modeling and impressions of specimens under study. This stage has been successfully carried out. Moreover, the study and acquisition of paleobiological information that will be used in both phases has begun
