Síndrome del respirador bucal : caracterización de un grupo de pacientes mendocinos

Mendoza es, por sus condiciones climáticas, una zona de muchos alérgenos. Esto determina que de los niños y adolescentes que llegan a nuestro consultorio con distintas maloclusiones, un gran porcentaje de ellos sea portador del Síndrome de Respiración Bucal (SRB). Nuestro objetivo fue caracterizar al paciente portador de ese síndrome en nuestra provincia. El estudio realizado fue del tipo descriptivo correlacional, estudiando a 150 pacientes portadores del SRB entre los 7 y 17 años. Se llevó a cabo la anamnesis, un exhaustivo examen clínico facial, bucal y funcional y se estudiaron los trazados cefalométricos. Los datos obtenidos fueron analizados para obtener una caracterización completa. Se determinaron los rasgos clínicos que más caracterizan a estos pacientes. Se considera beneficiario al grupo de profesionales del área salud y a la población en general, ya que el SRB es una de las disfunciones más frecuentes en nuestro medio.Due to its climatic conditions, Mendoza is a region of allergic people, causing a large percentage of children and adolescents, who come to our dental office suffering from different types of malocclusion, to be affected by Mouth Breathing Syndrome (MBS.) Our goal is to distinguish the patient with this syndrome in our province. Our reaserch was a correlational descriptive one. In addition, 150 patients suffering from MBS, aged 7 to 17, have been observed. The patient history was carried out, i.e., a thorough facial, functional, buccal and clinical examination. The cephalometric tracing was also studied. The data obtained was analyzed in order to obtain a complete characterization of the case. The clinical features that characterize these patients were determined. The professional group belonging to the Health Department together with the population in general were beneficial for us since the MBS is one of the most frequent dysfunctions within our area.Fil: Esquembre, Beatriz.

Repoliticization of Civil Society as Sentimentalization of Politics. Overcoming of Civil Privatism?

El presente artículo se propone analizar el par conceptual “privatismo civil / politización de la sociedad”. El objetivo es cuestionar si una de las formas concretas que adoptan hoy los procesos de repolitización de la sociedad civil, a saber, el llamado politainment y la sentimentalización del relato político, constituye o no una superación del privatismo civil. Para ello reconstruiremos primero la aparición del privatismo civil en el capitalismo tardío. En segundo lugar, analizaremos el surgimiento de esa conciencia ciudadana participativa que tiene su germen en los movimientos sociales de protesta postmaterialistas de finales de los sesenta. En tercer lugar, estudiaremos los procesos de sentimentalización y espectacularización del relato político. Sobre la base de este recorrido, en último lugar argumentaremos en contra de la tesis de una superación del privatismo civil

Workshop on Easy Java Simulations and the ComPADRE Digital Library

The premise of Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling is that when students are not actively involved in modeling they lose out on much of what can be learned from computer simulations. Although the modeling method can be used without computers, the use of computers allows students to study problems that are difficult and time consuming, to visualize their results, and to communicate their results with others. EJS is a free open-source Java application that simplifies the modeling process by breaking it into activities: 1) documentation, 2) modeling, and 3) interface design. The EJS program and examples of models will be available on CD. EJS models, documentation, and sample curricular material can also be downloaded from Open Source Physics collection in the comPADRE NSF Digital Library http://www.compadre.org/osp and from the Easy Java Simulations http://www.um.es/fem/Ejs website. Easy Java Simulations (EJS) is a modeling and authoring tool that helps science teachers and students create interactive simulations of scientific phenomena. These simulations can then be used in computer laboratories with students to better explain difficult concepts, to motivate them to study science, or to let students work with the simulations or (for more advanced students) even create their own ones. Both activities have proven to be very powerful didactical resources. EJS has been specifically designed to be used by people with no advanced programming skills. Hence, it tries very hard to make all the technical tasks easy. Authors still need to define the model of the phenomenon studied and design the visualization and interface for the data of the simulation. This means authors need to learn how to program scientific algorithms into Java language. But the extensive help provided by EJS make this far easier than what is traditionally called “learning to program”

Easy Java Simulations and the ComPADRE OSP collection

Current technologies allow physics educators the ability to combine traditional instruction with computational modeling. However, the implementation of a computational physics based modeling pedagogy requires a considerable programming effort for teachers and students who want to use this approach. This paper describes a pedagogy that limits the amount of programming when designing, implementing, distributing, and using computer models. It is based on the integration of the Easy Java Simulations modeling tool with the ComPADRE National Science Digital Library

Competitive inhibition of protein adsorption to silica surfaces by their coating with high density charge polyelectrolytes

The adsorption of proteins to silica surface is a common process mainly governed by the electrostatic attractive interaction between the pH-dependent negatively silica surface and the positive charges of the biomolecule. This process often reduces the conformational stability of the adsorbed protein and may reduce its biological functionality mostly due to multimolecular processes such as aggregation and fibrillation. Here we show that high-density charge cationic polyelectrolytes may successfully compete with the protein for the silica surface containing deprotonated-silanol groups. Therefore, the coating of silica surfaces with these cationic polyelectrolytes precludes the adsorption of the protein to the solid surface. Intensive water washing of the polyelectrolyte-coated silica surfaces had does not result in polyelectrolyte release (even at moderate ionic strength) maintaining the solid surface protected from protein adsorption

On the different rhythms of law and Artificial Intelligence De-synchronization as a social pathology

El objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar el desajuste temporal que se produce, dentro de la Unión Europea (UE), entre las innovaciones tecnológicas en materia de Inteligencia Artificial y sus regulaciones jurídicas1. Para ello se parte de una tesis formulada por Hartmut Rosa, sociólogo alemán cercano a la Teoría Crítica de la sociedad, de acuerdo con la cual las estructuras temporales de la política no resultan hoy ya compatibles con el ritmo de cambio de algunas esferas sociales. Esto produce una nueva forma de patología social, que Rosa denomina “riesgos de la desincronización”, y cuyo efecto más preocupante hay que buscar en el desplazamiento de los procesos de toma de decisiones desde el ámbito de la política hacia otros ámbitos de la sociedad más rápidos, fundamentalmente el mercado. Para analizar esta problemática se reconstruye, en primer lugar, la tesis de la desincronización como patología social derivada de la aceleración. Tras ello, se hace un mapeo del proceso de legislación en materia de IA a nivel de la UE. Por último, se defiende la tesis de que este proceso legislativo, ciertamente muy admirable, ha llegado sistemáticamente tarde.The aim of this paper is to study the temporal de-synchronization that occurs, within the European Union (EU), between technological innovations in Artificial Intelligence and its legal regulations. To do that, I base on a thesis formulated by Hartmut Rosa, a German sociologist close to the Critical Theory of society, according to which the temporal structures of politics are no longer compatible with the pace of change in some others social spheres. This produces a new form of social pathology, which Rosa calls “risks of de-synchronisation”, and whose most worrying effect must be sought in the displacement of decision-making processes from the political sphere to faster areas of society, fundamentally the market. To analyze this problem, I first reconstruct the thesis of desynchronization as a social pathology derived from acceleration. Then, I map the AI legislation process at EU level. Finally, I defend the thesis that this legislative process, which is certainly very admirable, has consistently come too late

How to Defend the Welfare State Without Means of Systemic Regulation? Habermas and the New Utopian Energies

El objetivo de este trabajo es defender que, si bien el giro operado por Jürgen Habermas dentro de la filosofía social desde la «utopía del trabajo» hasta la «utopía de la comunicación» permite comprender mejor algunos movimientos sociales surgidos a partir de los años setenta, una defensa del Estado social que no recurra a los medios de regulación sistémica «dinero» y «poder» resulta imposible. Para ello se dan tres pasos argumentativos. En primer lugar, se sitúa la crítica de Habermas al Estado del bienestar en el contexto general de la trayectoria de su pensamiento. En segundo lugar, se analiza en detalle la crítica de Habermas al potencial cosificador del medio de regulación sistémica «poder». En tercer lugar, se intenta probar que el tipo de compromisos que adquiere el Estado social desde su configuración a mediados del siglo xx no puede ser satisfecho con el medio de coordinación de la acción que Habermas llama «solidaridad».The aim of this paper is to defend the following thesis: although Habermas’ turn from «utopia of labour» to «utopia of communication» enables him to better understand some social movements that emerged since 1970s, a defence of social State necessarily need to resort to the steering media «money» and «power». In order to prove this thesis, I first place Habermas’ criticism to welfare State in the context of his career. Then, I analyse Habermas’ criticism to the reificating potential of the steering media «power». Lastly, I try to prove that the kind of commitments undertaken by the social State since his configuration in the mid-20th century cannot be satisfied with the media of action coordination that Habermas calls «solidarity»
