Incidencia de la actividad edificadora del sector turístico en EL Crecimiento Económico De Santa Marta (1986 -1991) (Rodadero Y Playa Salguero)
El estudio de la incidencia de la actividad edificadora del sector turístico en el crecimiento económico de Santa Marta entre 19S6 y 1991 excluye las construcciones de los estratos medio—bajo y bajo, centrando los datos y cifras al total construidos en la ciudad, las condiciones que tienen ciudades intermedias dentro del contexto Nacional. Es así, como se concentra la atención en Santa Marta, su crecimiento medio, el comportamiento que ha presentado la actividad edificadora y su crecimiento urbanístico en los últimos 6 años, en el sector turístico de El Rodadero y Playa Salguero. Tomando como punto de referencia esta investigación se aspira a que sea el inicio de una política de concertación o entre el sector público, el sector de los constructores Y las corporaciones de ahorro y vivienda para fortalecer Financieramente el sector. De esta forma los sectores anteriores deberán definir los programas y recursos para sostener la actividad edificadora en la ciudad y convertirla en un motor que arrastre nuestra economía local y esté a la vanguardia como lo ha estado en los últimos años
EVALUACIÓN NUTRICIONAL Y ACTIVIDAD FÍSICA DE DOCENTES Y ADMINISTRATIVOS DE LA FACULTAD DE FARMACIA Y BIOQUÍMICA, UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE TRUJILLO-PERÚ 2013
Se realizó la evaluación del estado nutricional y la actividad física de los Docentes y Administrativos de la Facultad de Farmacia y Bioquímica, con la finalidad de determinar si existen problemas de salud, así como conocer los alimentos que más consumen y si realizan actividad física adecuada. Para la evaluación se emplearon métodos antropométricos (IMC), bioquímicos y dietéticos; se utilizó el cuestionario mundial sobre Actividad Física (GPAQ) OMS. Se encontró sobrepeso en el 63% de docentes y el 52% de administrativos, obesidad tipo I en 17% de docentes y 19% de administrativos; Obesidad tipo II y obesidad mórbida en 5% en los administrativos. Hemoglobina y hematocrito disminuídos en 10% y 14% respectivamente en el personal administrativo; Hipertrigliceridemia en 33% de docentes y 14 % de administrativos; Hipercolesterolemia en 13% de docentes y 43 % de administrativos. El consumo de lácteos, pescado, carnes rojas, huevos fue de 2 a 3 veces por semana en los docentes y 1 vez por semana en los administrativos, el consumo de frutas y verduras es de 3-4 veces por semana en los docentes y todos los días en los administrativos. El 33% de los encuestados realizan un nivel de actividad física insuficiente. Se concluye que más del 50% de docentes y administrativos presentan sobrepeso, existen pocos casos de obesidad tipo I y II; no hay desnutrición; existen pocos participantes con hemoglobina y hematocrito disminuidos; alrededor del 33% y 14% de docentes y administrativos presenta hipertrigliceridemia respectivamente e hipercolesterolemia de modo similar; el consumo de frutas y verduras es bajo por parte de los docentes. El trabajo de docentes y administrativos no exige actividad física intensa y la tercera parte realiza actividad física insuficiente.

Radical Listening, Action, and Reflection at the Boundaries of Youth Violence Prevention
The purpose of this article is to make visible collaborative pedagogical and research practices that opened space for community members to be co-educators and researchers with students and a professor on a youth violence assessment. We use Third Generation Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) as a conceptual framework to examine the learning that occurred in the boundary zone of our eight differently situated organizations. As we demonstrate through the inclusion of boundary dialogue excerpts, this process generated more authentic understandings of why racial inequity has persisted in youth violence outcomes. The assessment questions we asked, the key informants we engaged, the data analysis process we undertook, and the substantially different types of findings that emerged were a function of relationship building and radical listening in the boundary zone of our collaboration. We conclude that practices that foster radical listening in boundary work can reframe experiential learning for racial justice
Ancient DNA of guinea pigs (Cavia spp.) indicates a probable new center of domestication and pathways of global distribution
Guinea pigs (Cavia spp.) have a long association with humans. From as early as 10,000 years ago they were a wild food source. Later, domesticated Cavia porcellus were dispersed well beyond their native range through pre-Columbian exchange networks and, more recently, widely across the globe. Here we present 46 complete mitogenomes of archaeological guinea pigs from sites in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, the Caribbean, Belgium and the United States to elucidate their evolutionary history, origins and paths of dispersal. Our results indicate an independent centre of domestication of Cavia in the eastern Colombian Highlands. We identify a Peruvian origin for the initial introduction of domesticated guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus) beyond South America into the Caribbean. We also demonstrate that Peru was the probable source of the earliest known guinea pigs transported, as part of the exotic pet trade, to both Europe and the southeastern United States. Finally, we identify a modern reintroduction of guinea pigs to Puerto Rico, where local inhabitants use them for food. This research demonstrates that the natural and cultural history of guinea pigs is more complex than previously known and has implications for other studies regarding regional to global-scale studies of mammal domestication, translocation, and distribution.Fil: Lord, E..

Grupo español de cirugía torácica asistida por videoimagen: método, auditoría y resultados iniciales de una cohorte nacional prospectiva de pacientes tratados con resecciones anatómicas del pulmón
Introduction: our study sought to know the current implementation of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for anatomical lung resections in Spain. We present our initial results and describe the auditing systems developed by the Spanish VATS Group (GEVATS). Methods: we conducted a prospective multicentre cohort study that included patients receiving anatomical lung resections between 12/20/2016 and 03/20/2018. The main quality controls consisted of determining the recruitment rate of each centre and the accuracy of the perioperative data collected based on six key variables. The implications of a low recruitment rate were analysed for '90-day mortality' and 'Grade IIIb-V complications'. Results: the series was composed of 3533 cases (1917 VATS; 54.3%) across 33 departments. The centres' median recruitment rate was 99% (25-75th:76-100%), with an overall recruitment rate of 83% and a data accuracy of 98%. We were unable to demonstrate a significant association between the recruitment rate and the risk of morbidity/mortality, but a trend was found in the unadjusted analysis for those centres with recruitment rates lower than 80% (centres with 95-100% rates as reference): grade IIIb-V OR=0.61 (p=0.081), 90-day mortality OR=0.46 (p=0.051). Conclusions: more than half of the anatomical lung resections in Spain are performed via VATS. According to our results, the centre's recruitment rate and its potential implications due to selection bias, should deserve further attention by the main voluntary multicentre studies of our speciality. The high representativeness as well as the reliability of the GEVATS data constitute a fundamental point of departure for this nationwide cohort
Training future generations to deliver evidence-based conservation and ecosystem management
1. To be effective, the next generation of conservation practitioners and managers need to be critical thinkers with a deep understanding of how to make evidence-based decisions and of the value of evidence synthesis. 2. If, as educators, we do not make these priorities a core part of what we teach, we are failing to prepare our students to make an effective contribution to conservation practice. 3. To help overcome this problem we have created open access online teaching materials in multiple languages that are stored in Applied Ecology Resources. So far, 117 educators from 23 countries have acknowledged the importance of this and are already teaching or about to teach skills in appraising or using evidence in conservation decision-making. This includes 145 undergraduate, postgraduate or professional development courses. 4. We call for wider teaching of the tools and skills that facilitate evidence-based conservation and also suggest that providing online teaching materials in multiple languages could be beneficial for improving global understanding of other subject areas.Peer reviewe
Estimating the global conservation status of more than 15,000 Amazonian tree species
Estimates of extinction risk for Amazonian plant and animal species are rare and not often incorporated into land-use policy and conservation planning. We overlay spatial distribution models with historical and projected deforestation to show that at least 36% and up to 57% of all Amazonian tree species are likely to qualify as globally threatened under International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List criteria. If confirmed, these results would increase the number of threatened plant species on Earth by 22%. We show that the trends observed in Amazonia apply to trees throughout the tropics, and we predict thatmost of the world’s >40,000 tropical tree species now qualify as globally threatened. A gap analysis suggests that existing Amazonian protected areas and indigenous territories will protect viable populations of most threatened species if these areas suffer no further degradation, highlighting the key roles that protected areas, indigenous peoples, and improved governance can play in preventing large-scale extinctions in the tropics in this century
