La experiencia educativa con menores infractores sancionados
Con la ponencia denominada: “La experiencia educativa con menores infractores sancionados”, Daniel Cuadra, coordinador del centro para la ejecución de la medida sancionadora de convivencia en grupo educativo de la Asociación Meridianos, ha analizado la labor de los grupos de convivencia en el sistema de reforma juvenil de la Junta de Andalucía. En particular, ha explicado las causas que llevan a los menores a la delincuencia y el tratamiento integral que reciben en los centros. De igual forma, ha reflexionado sobre la falta de prevención en el campo de la delincuencia juvenil y el tratamiento que los medios de comunicación efectúan de esta última, sobre todo, cuando se trata de casos graves. La ponencia ha concluido con un debate en torno a la eficacia de implementar políticas legislativas que no han sido previamente evaluadas y que abogan por ejercer un férreo control sobre los menores en detrimento de alternativas educativas.Universidad de Málaga.

Quantum and classical spin network algorithms for -deformed Kogut-Susskind gauge theories
Treating the infinite-dimensional Hilbert space of non-abelian gauge theories
is an outstanding challenge for classical and quantum simulations. Here, we
introduce -deformed Kogut-Susskind lattice gauge theories, obtained by
deforming the defining symmetry algebra to a quantum group. In contrast to
other formulations, our proposal simultaneously provides a controlled
regularization of the infinite-dimensional local Hilbert space while preserving
essential symmetry-related properties. This enables the development of both
quantum as well as quantum-inspired classical Spin Network Algorithms for
-deformed gauge theories (SNAQs). To be explicit, we focus on SU(2)
gauge theories, that are controlled by the deformation parameter and
converge to the standard SU(2) Kogut-Susskind model as .
In particular, we demonstrate that this formulation is well suited for
efficient tensor network representations by variational ground-state
simulations in 2D, providing first evidence that the continuum limit can be
reached with . Finally, we develop a scalable quantum
algorithm for Trotterized real-time evolution by analytically diagonalizing the
SU(2) plaquette interactions. Our work gives a new perspective for the
application of tensor network methods to high-energy physics and paves the way
for quantum simulations of non-abelian gauge theories far from equilibrium
where no other methods are currently available.Comment: 5+4 pages, 4+1 figure
Tiempo y anacronía en vineland,de thomas pynchon:un análisis genetteano
The aim of this research is to analyze, from a Genettean perspective
of temporal order, the influence that numerous anachronies present in the discourse of
Vineland ( by Thomas Pynchon, may have in the novel as a whole, either by means
of analeptic al and proleptical movements, or through immersions into hypodiegetic
levels. In order to do so, the most widely used theoretical framework, provided by Gérard
Genette, will be observed. Besides, this research attempts to evince its weaknesses when
applied to postmodernist literature, assisted, moreover, by Brian McHale’s
approximations, so that an alternative model of analysis for non sequential discourse will
be suggested.El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar, desde una perspectiva
genetteana del orden temporal, la incidencia que las numerosas anacron ías presentes en
el discurso de Vineland ( de Thomas Pynchon, tienen en el conjunto de la obra,
bien a través de movimientos analépticos y prolepticos, bien mediante inmersiones en
niveles hipodiegéticos. Para alcanzar dicho objetivo se presentará el marco teórico más
utilizado en narratología, el propuesto por Gérard Genette. Asimismo, se observarán tanto
las debilidades de esta propuesta en su aplicación sobre literatura postmodernista como
la perspectiva más reciente de Brian McHale, a fin de establecer un modelo de análisis
alternativo en aquellos discursos no secuenciales
Robust Topological Order in Fermionic Z(2) Gauge Theories: From Aharonov-Bohm Instability to Soliton-Induced Deconfinement
Topologically ordered phases of matter, although stable against local perturbations, are usually restricted to relatively small regions in phase diagrams. Thus, their preparation requires a precise fine-tunning of the system's parameters, a very challenging task in most experimental setups. In this work, we investigate a model of spinless fermions interacting with dynamical Z2 gauge fields on a cross-linked ladder and show evidence of topological order throughout the full parameter space. In particular, we show how a magnetic flux is spontaneously generated through the ladder due to an Aharonov-Bohm instability, giving rise to topological order even in the absence of a plaquette term. Moreover, the latter coexists here with a symmetry-protected topological phase in the matter sector, which displays fractionalized gauge-matter edge states and intertwines with it by a flux-threading phenomenon. Finally, we unveil the robustness of these features through a gauge frustration mechanism, akin to geometric frustration in spin liquids, allowing topological order to survive to arbitrarily large quantum fluctuations. In particular, we show how, at finite chemical potential, topological solitons are created in the gauge field configuration, which bound to fermions and form Z2 deconfined quasiparticles. The simplicity of the model makes it an ideal candidate for 2D gauge theory phenomena, as well as exotic topological effects, to be investigated using cold-atom quantum simulators
Advanced nanocellular foams: Perspectives on the current knowledge and challenges
Producción CientíficaNanocellular polymers (i.e., cellular polymers with cells and walls in the nanometric
range) were first produced in the early 2000s, with the works of Yokoyama et al. being
the main precedents in this field, producing nanocellular structures by using supercritical
carbon dioxide. However, it was not until a decade later that this research field started to
grow significantly, attracting several international research groups in the quest to obtain
cellular polymers with cells in the nanocellular range. From 2010 to 2014, the basis of
bulk nanocellular foam production was established, and the CO2 gas dissolution foaming
technique rapidly proved to be the most suitable production route for such materials
(details and theoretical basis of this technique can be found elsewhere). Continuous
technical advances (e.g., higher saturation pressures, lower saturation temperatures, faster
pressure drop rates) and diverse nucleating agents, from inorganic nanoparticles to block
copolymers, provided a broad collection of cellular polymers with submicrometric and
nanometric cells. Although quite diverse polymers allowed the achievement of submicrometric
cells, amorphous polymers such as polyetherimide (PEI), polystyrene (PS), and,
notably, poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) provided the best nanocellular structures,
with cell sizes even below 100 nm and significant density reductions.Ministerio de Asuntos Económicos y Transformación Digital y FEDER (grants RTI2018-098749-BI00, RTI2018-097367-A-I00, and PRE2019-088820)Junta de Castilla y León (grants VA275P18 and CLU-2019-04
Marcadores patobiológicos y supervivencia en el cáncer colo-rectal. Estudio molecular y topográfico de la beta-catenina, p53 y proteínas reparadoras
El cáncer colo-rectal (CCR) no obedece a una única alteración génica, sino que coexisten varias de ellas en el mismo paciente y el pronóstico/evolución pueden variar dependiendo de las alteraciones detectadas.
Existe un elevado número de alteraciones genéticas puntuales, muchas de las cuales se sitúan en la vía de Wnt y afectan a su principal efector: la ß-catenina. Estos tumores son heterogéneos, de tipo morfológico y de carácter
biológico ( las variaciones cinéticas propias del componente superficial y zona profunda del tumor). Se ha evaluado el comportamiento biológico de la ß-catenina, y su interacción con p53 y las proteínas reparadoras de errores en la transcripción de ADN, desde un enfoque topográfico, correlacionándolo con otros datos
histopatológicos y pronóstico/evolutivos.El CCR es un tumor heterogéneo, advirtiéndose grandes variaciones entre
los compartimentos tumorales superficial y profundo.La inmunoexpresión de ß-catenina en el CCR es muy variable, pero, debido a su papel oncogénico y a su relación con otras vías moleculares, juega un papel importante en el
pronóstico de los pacientes. Existe mayor relación con el resto de variables -histopatológicas e
inmunohistoquímicas- en el compartimento tumoral profundo que en el superficial. La inmunoexpresión de ßcatenina
nuclear en el compartimento profundo se ha asociado a peor pronóstico. Las neoplasias con doble
negatividad para p53 y ß-catenina en el compartimento profundo son las de peor supervivencia . El mejor
pronóstico lo presentan las neoplasias con positividad para p53 y ß-catenina negativa, que sugiere la existencia de
un bucle regulador entre p53 y ß-catenina. Concluimos que el análisis combinado de ß-catenina y p53 podría tener
importancia pronóstica, como marcadores predictores de la progresión de la enfermedad, e identificar pacientes
con alto riesgo de mortalidad
Terminal terrestre en la ciudad de Abancay
El terminal terrestre actual de la ciudad de Abancay ha sobrepasado su capacidad
(Municipalidad Provincial de Abancay, 2015, pág. 5). Este problema fundamental genera la
aparición desordenada de agencias de transporte a extramuros del terminal.
La distribución dispersa de las agencias de transporte en la ciudad perjudica su orden y
adecuado uso. Para contrarrestar esto, las operaciones del transporte interprovincial de
pasajeros deben concentrarse en un solo establecimiento, de la magnitud y características
necesarias para satisfacer la demanda tanto a pasajeros como a transportistas
Anclaje de las expectativas de inflación ante choques de oferta adversos
In order to create an environment of low and stable inflation in Mexico it has been necessary to generate a framework for the conduction of monetary policy focused on price stability along with fiscal discipline. This paper describes some structural achievements to control inflation that have been attained in Mexico. In addition, it shows empirical evidence in favor of the anchoring of inflation expectations, particularly those for the medium and long term, being recently strengthened. Considering three episodes, within the period 2004-2012, in which inflation was subject to different supply shocks, it finds that during the episode in 2012 inflation expectations showed greater stability. Results show that the response from inflation expectations to supply shocks has diminished over time, up to values that are not significantly different from zero. This suggests a strengthening of the credibility of the Bank of Mexico's commitment to price stability
