Este estudio tiene por objeto describir y evaluar la aplicación de la enseñanza secundaria en determinadas escuelas para los años académicos 2016-2018. Concretamente, encontró respuestas sobre la descripción de las escuelas; la evaluación de las competencias pedagógicas de los profesores; la evaluación de los hábitos de trabajo, valores y habilidades de los estudiantes; los problemas encontrados, y las posibles contribuciones para mejorar el programa. Paralelamente se utilizó un método mixto específicamente convergente. Los resultados muestran que las escuelas seleccionadas ofrecen principalmente TVL, HUMSS y ABM. Tienen un promedio de 200 estudiantes o menos. La mayoría de los miembros de su facultad están con unidades de MA. Observaron las políticas del Departamento de Educación sobre admisión, retención y promoción. Las dimensiones de las competencias de enseñanza se consideran de efectivas a muy efectivas, mientras que los hábitos de trabajo, valores y habilidades de los estudiantes se evalúan como altamente desarrollados. Se identificaron problemas relacionados con la adecuación de los materiales de enseñanza, la falta de apoyo de los interesados, el rendimiento de los estudiantes y la necesidad de contar con profesores especializados. Por lo tanto, se recomienda mejorar las instalaciones escolares, contratar profesores para profesores especializados, fortalecer las asociaciones con la industria empresarial y capacitar a los profesores en las últimas tendencias de la enseñanza, así como en tecnología, para que los estudiantes sean competitivos a nivel mundial.This study is intended to describe and evaluate the implementation of high school in selected schools for the 2016-2018 academic years. Specifically, it found answers on the description of the schools; the evaluation of the pedagogical competencies of the teachers; the evaluation of the work habits, values, and skills of the students; the problems encountered, and the possible contributions to improve the program. A specifically convergent mixed method was used in parallel. The results show that the selected schools offer TVL, HUMSS, and ABM. They have an average of two hundred students or less. Most of their faculty members are with MA units. They observed the Department of Education's policies on admission, retention, and promotion. The dimensions of teaching competencies are considered effective to highly effective, while students' work habits, values, and skills are assessed as highly developed. Problems identified related to the adequacy of teaching materials, lack of stakeholder support, student performance, and the need for specialized teachers. Therefore, it is recommended to improve school facilities, hire teachers for specialized teachers, strengthen partnerships with the business industry, and train teachers in the latest teaching trends, as well as in technology, to make students globally competitive
Landau Levels in the noncommutative
We formulate the Landau problem in the context of the noncommutative analog
of a surface of constant negative curvature, that is surface, and
obtain the spectrum and contrast the same with the Landau levels one finds in
the case of the commutative space.Comment: 19 pages, Latex, references and clarifications added including 2

Aharonov-Casher effect for spin one particles in a noncommutative space
In this work the Aharonov-Casher (AC) phase is calculated for spin one
particles in a noncommutative space. The AC phase has previously been
calculated from the Dirac equation in a noncommutative space using a gauge-like
technique [17]. In the spin-one, we use kemmer equation to calculate the phase
in a similar manner. It is shown that the holonomy receives non-trivial
kinematical corrections. By comparing the new result with the already known
spin 1/2 case, one may conjecture a generalized formula for the corrections to
holonomy for higher spins.Comment: 9 page
Budesonide Reverses Lung Hyperinflation in Childhood Asthma: a Controlled Study
Budesonide (800 mg bid, for 2 months) was administered to 12 asthmatic children (mean age, 11.293.3 years) with lung
hyperinflation (TGV]130% predicted and:or RV]140% predicted) in a randomised, placebo controlled, double blind, crossover
study. Body plethysmography (panting frequency controlled at 1·s 1) was performed at the beginning, 2 months afterwards
(before crossover) and at the end of the study. Budesonide significantly reduced TGV (2.3590.90 l BTPS or 126924% predicted)
compared with placebo (2.5491.08 l BTPS, P 0.014 or 140921% predicted, PB0.05). In addition, budesonide significantly
increased mean specific conductance (0.0690.02 cm H2O 1 l s 1 to 0.0790.01 cm H2O 1 l s 1, PB0.05). It was concluded
that budesonide reduced lung hyperinflation most likely by decreasing airway inflammation
Underpotential deposition of Cu on Au(111) in sulfate-containing electrolytes: a theoretical and experimental study
We study the underpotential deposition of Cu on single-crystal Au(111)
electrodes in sulfate-containing electrolytes by a combination of computational
statistical-mechanics based lattice-gas modeling and experiments. The
experimental methods are in situ cyclic voltammetry and coulometry and ex situ
Auger electron spectroscopy and low-energy electron diffraction. The
experimentally obtained voltammetric current and charge densities and adsorbate
coverages are compared with the predictions of a two-component lattice-gas
model for the coadsorption of Cu and sulfate. This model includes effective,
lateral interactions out to fourth-nearest neighbors. Using group-theoretical
ground-state calculations and Monte Carlo simulations, we estimate effective
electrovalences and lateral adsorbate--adsorbate interactions so as to obtain
overall agreement with experiments, including both our own and those of other
groups. In agreement with earlier work, we find a mixed R3xR3 phase consisting
of 2/3 monolayer Cu and 1/3 monolayer sulfate at intermediate electrode
potentials, delimited by phase transitions at both higher and lower potentials.
Our approach provides estimates of the effective electrovalences and lateral
interaction energies, which cannot yet be calculated by first-principles
methods.Comment: 36 pages, 14 Postscript figures are in uufiles for
Survey for ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ and ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma’ in Citrus in Chile
The considerable economic losses in citrus associated with ‘Candidatus Liberibacter’ and ‘Candidatus Phytoplasma’ presence have alerted all producing regions of the world. In Chile, none of these bacteria have been reported in citrus species. During the years 2017 and 2019, 258 samples presenting symptoms similar to those associated with the presence of these bacteria were examined. No detection of ‘Ca. Liberibacter’ associated with “huanglongbing” disease was obtained in the tested samples; therefore, this quarantine pest is maintained as absent in Chile. However, 14 plants resulted positive for phytoplasmas enclosed in subgroups 16SrV-A (12 plants) and 16SrXIII-F (2 plants). Although they have been found in other plant species, this is the first report of these phy-toplasmas in citrus worldwide
Integrating energy and land-use planning : Socio-metabolic profiles along the rural-urban continuum in Catalonia (Spain)
Abandoning fossil fuels and increasingly relying on low-density, land-intensive renewable energy will increase demand for land, affecting current global and regional rural-urban relationships. Over the past two decades, rural-urban relationships all over the world have witnessed unprecedented changes that have rendered their boundaries blurred and have lead to the emergence of "new ruralities." In this paper, we analyze the current profiles of electricity generation and consumption in relation to sociodemographic variables related to the use of time and land across the territory of Catalonia, Spain. Through a clustering procedure based on multivariate statistical analysis, we found that electricity consumption is related to functional specialization in the roles undertaken by different types of municipalities in the urban system. Municipality types have distinctive metabolic profiles in different sectors depending on their industrial, services or residential role. Villages' metabolism is influenced by urban sprawl and industrial specialization, reflecting current "new ruralities." Segregation between work activity and residence increases both overall electricity consumption and its rate (per hour) and density (per hectare) of dissipation. A sustainable spatial organization of societal activities without the use of fossil fuels or nuclear energy would require huge structural and sociodemographic changes to reduce energy demand and adapt it to regionally available renewable energy. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht

Maximally localized states and causality in non commutative quantum theories
We give simple representations for quantum theories in which the position
commutators are non vanishing constants. A particular representation reproduces
results found using the Moyal star product. The notion of exact localization
being meaningless in these theories, we adapt the notion of ``maximally
localized states'' developed in another context . We find that gaussian
functions play this role in a 2+1 dimensional model in which the non
commutation relations concern positions only. An interpretation of the wave
function in this non commutative geometry is suggested. We also analyze higher
dimensional cases. A possible incidence on the causality issue for a Q.F.T with
a non commuting time is sketched.Comment: 11 pages, Revtex. The presentation has been improved, the subsection
on high dimensions has been modified. This version will appear in PR
