Shape evolution and shape coexistence in Pt isotopes: comparing interacting boson model configuration mixing and Gogny mean-field energy surfaces

The evolution of the total energy surface and the nuclear shape in the isotopic chain $^{172-194}$Pt are studied in the framework of the interacting boson model, including configuration mixing. The results are compared with a self-consistent Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov calculation using the Gogny-D1S interaction and a good agreement between both approaches shows up. The evolution of the deformation parameters points towards the presence of two different coexisting configurations in the region 176 $\leq$ A $\leq$ 186.Comment: Submitted to PR

Estrés académico asociado a ideación suicida en estudiantes de medicina humana UPAO – Piura, 2019

OBJETIVO: Determinar si el estrés académico es un factor asociado a la ideación suicida en los estudiantes de medicina humana. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Es un estudio observacional, analítico, de corte transversal, donde se evaluó a 621 alumnos. Se aplicó la Escala De Ideación Suicida de Beck para medir la ideación suicida, y para medir el nivel de estrés académico se utilizó el Inventario SISCO, además se incluyó un cuestionario de variables sociodemográficas, académicas y clínicas. RESULTADOS La prevalencia de ideación suicida fue de 16,1%, el nivel bajo de ideación suicida fue el que más predominó con 10%. La mayoría presentó un nivel de estrés académico moderado con 56%. Se identificó que el nivel de estrés académico, el lugar de procedencia, llevar un curso por más de una matrícula, la no convivencia con los padres y tener un antecedente de un familiar con suicidio o intento de suicido fueron variables asociadas a ideación suicida. A medida que aumenta el nivel de ideación suicida, el puntaje de estrés académico también aumenta. CONCLUSIONES: El estrés académico es un factor que aumenta de forma directamente proporcional la ideación suicida. Los alumnos que presentaban ideación suicida tenían un nivel profundo de estrés académico. Casi 2 de cada 10 estudiantes de medicina humana presentan ideación suicida.OBJECTIVE: To determine if academic stress is a factor associated with suicidal ideation in human medicine students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: It is an observational, analytical, cross-sectional study, where 621 students were evaluated. For data collection, the BECK Suicidal Ideation Scale was applied to measure suicidal ideation, and the SISCO Inventory was used to measure the level of academic stress, in addition a questionnaire of sociodemographic, academic and clinical variables was included. RESULTS: The prevalence of suicidal ideation was 16.1%, the low level of suicidal ideation was the most prevalent with 10%. The majority presented a moderate level of academic stress with 56%. It was identified that the level of academic stress, the place of origin, taking a course for more than one enrollment, not living with parents and having a history of a family member with suicide or suicide attempt were variables associated with suicidal ideation. As the level of suicidal ideation increases, the academic stress score also increases. CONCLUSIONS: Academic stress is a factor that directly proportionally increases suicidal ideation. Students who presented suicidal ideation had a profound level of academic stress. Almost 2 in 10 human medicine students have suicidal ideation.Tesi

En el presente trabajo se formula como problema general: ¿Cómo influye los geosintéticos en el dimensionamiento de los espesores de las capas del pavimento flexible?, siendo el objetivo: establecer la influencia de los geosintéticos en el dimensionamiento de los espesores de las capas del pavimento flexible, la hipótesis que debe verificarse es: el hecho de aplicar los geosintéticos en el dimensionamiento logra reducir los espesores de las capas del pavimento flexible. Por naturaleza del estudio el tipo de investigación es aplicada, nivel descriptiva-explicativa, con un método deductivo y diseño no experimental transversal explicativo, la población considerada es la zona urbana del distrito de Huamalí, y la muestra conformada por 7 vías locales con un promedio de 3.4 km. Se concluye que, del dimensionamiento de los espesores de las capas del pavimento flexible, se logró determinar que el geosintético tipo geomalla ó BPBX12 (30 KN/m) influye en la reducción del espesor de las capas diseñadas entre 3 a 5 cm.Tesi

Thirsty for Justice: A People's Blueprint for California Water

The report's first chapter analyzes the origins of environmental discrimination in California water policy. After an overview of how low income communities and communities of color have been historically left out of California water management, we analyze political, economic and social trends that produce the current exclusionary system and emerging policies and technologies that could further harm low-income communities and communities of color.In the second chapter, we provide an overview of what we term "water governance": who controls water supply and quality and what agencies are responsible for ensuring that people have enough clean water. We explain the current system of water governance, examine changing patterns in control over water, and provide examples of communities that face profound barriers to participating in water decisions. We conclude by discussing barriers within water regulatory entities that prevent community voices from entering into water decision-making.In the third chapter, we provide a picture of water-related environmental injustices that low-income communities and communities of color face on a daily basis. These communities' lack of access to safe, affordable drinking water and healthy watersheds exemplifies the health burdens many communities bear as a result of California's water policies.Our report concludes with policy recommendations for how to remedy some of the most pressing water concerns low-income communities and communities of color face, in order to guarantee the basic right to safe and affordable water

PERCEPCIÓN DE LOS PROFESIONALES GINECO OBSTETRAS Y OBSTETRAS DE LA ATENCIÓN CON ENFOQUE INTERCULTURAL A LAS PACIENTES OBSTÉTRICAS EN EL AMBITO DE LA CIUDAD DE TACNA

La presente investigación realizada permitió determinar la percepción de los profesionales gineco-obstetras y obstetras de la atención con enfoque intercultural a las pacientes obstétricas, en el ámbito de la ciudad de Tacna. Para tal efecto se entrevistaron y encuestaron a 18 médicos Ginec-obstetras y 100 obstetras que laboran en los diferentes establecimientos de salud de nuestra ciudad. Los resultados obtenidos nos indican que los profesionales de salud reconocen carecer en su formación universitaria de elementos interculturales y, a pesar de ello, consideran que la atención con este enfoque es un derecho, una necesidad y que se justifica su implementación. Por otra parte, reconocen que la condición étnica genera inequidad y discriminación en la atención de salud

From Classical to Modern Computational Approaches to Identify Key Genetic Regulatory Components in Plant Biology

The selection of plant genotypes with improved productivity and tolerance to environmental constraints has always been a major concern in plant breeding. Classical approaches based on the generation of variability and selection of better phenotypes from large variant collections have improved their efficacy and processivity due to the implementation of molecular biology techniques, particularly genomics, Next Generation Sequencing and other omics such as proteomics and metabolomics. In this regard, the identification of interesting variants before they develop the phenotype trait of interest with molecular markers has advanced the breeding process of new varieties. Moreover, the correlation of phenotype or biochemical traits with gene expression or protein abundance has boosted the identification of potential new regulators of the traits of interest, using a relatively low number of variants. These important breakthrough technologies, built on top of classical approaches, will be improved in the future by including the spatial variable, allowing the identification of gene(s) involved in key processes at the tissue and cell levels
