Higher-loop integrated negative geometries in ABJM
In the three-dimensional Chern-Simons matter (ABJM) theory, the
integrand for the logarithm of the scattering amplitude admits a decomposition
in terms of negative geometries, which implies that all the infrared
divergences concentrate in the last loop integration. We compute the
infrared-finite functions that arise from performing a three-loop integration
over the four-loop integrand for the logarithm of the four-point amplitude, for
which we use the method of differential equations. Our results provide a direct
computation of the four-loop cusp anomalous dimension of the theory, in
agreement with the current all-loop integrability-based proposal. We find an
apparent simplicity in the leading singularities of the integrated results,
provided one works in the frame in which the unintegrated loop variable goes to
infinity. Finally, our results suggest an alternating sign pattern for the
integrated negative geometries in the Euclidean region.Comment: 26 page
Integrable Wilson loops in ABJM: a -system computation of the cusp anomalous dimension
We study the integrability properties of Wilson loops in the
three-dimensional Chern-Simons-matter (ABJM) theory. We begin with the
construction of an open spin chain that describes the anomalous dimensions of
operators inserted along the contour of a 1/2 BPS Wilson loop. Moreover, we
compute the all-loop reflection matrices that govern the interaction of
spin-chain excitations with the boundary, including their dressing factors, and
we check them against weak- and strong-coupling results. Furthermore, we
propose a -system of equations for the cusped Wilson line of ABJM, and we
use it to reproduce the one-loop cusp anomalous dimension of ABJM from a
leading-order finite-size correction. Finally, we write a set of BTBA equations
consistent with the -system proposal.Comment: 44 pages, 2 figures; v2: clarifications added and typos corrected.

Cirugía de rescate (reubicación quirúrgica) en segundos molares inferiores impactados
La impactación de los segundos molares inferiores es una complicación
de la erupción dentaria muy infrecuente, dado que su
incidencia se cifra de un 0,03 a un 0,21 %. Se ha detectado en
mayor frecuencia de forma unilateral que bilateral y es más usual
en mandíbula que en maxilar. Presenta una ligera predicción por
el sexo masculino, y la inclinación mesial es la más habitual.
Se han publicado una amplia variedad de aproximaciones terapéuticas,
fundamentalmente apelando a técnicas quirúrgicas
únicas o ayudadas de técnicas ortodóncicas, con el objeto de
llevar al diente a su correcta posición, y que se engloban bajo
el concepto de cirugía de rescate.
En los casos resueltos con una reubicación del diente impactado,
la extracción profiláctica del germen se ha propugnado como
obligatoria. Presentamos el caso de una paciente de 12 años y
6 meses derivado al Master de Cirugía Bucal de la Universidad
de Sevilla por presentar falta de erupción del segundo molar
inferior izquierdo.
El paciente fue derivado por su ortodoncista, quien detecta la impactación
del diente, antes de iniciar el tratamiento ortodóncico.
Dicho compañero nos indica que, si es posible, no extraigamos
el germen del tercer molar, pues prevé que será viable su erupción
en el futuro (dispondrá de espacio en la arcada suficiente).
Medidos los espacios de que disponemos, decidimos intentar
la reubicación del diente impactado sin extraer el germen del
cordal, que se llevó a cabo de forma exitosa.The impaction of lower second molars, given that its incidence
is 0.03 to 0.21%, is a rare complication in tooth eruption. It
has been detected more often in unilateral form than bilateral
and is more common in the mandible than in the maxillary. It
has a slight predilection for males, and mesial inclination is
more usual.
A wide variety of therapeutic approaches have been published,
basically referring to surgical techniques, independent or complemented
by means of orthodontic technical aids, with the
aim of placing the tooth in the correct position, and which are
encompassed under the concept of surgical rescue.
In cases resolved with repositioning of an impacted tooth,
prophylactic root extraction has been proposed as obligatory.
We present a case of a 12 and a half year old patient referred to
the University of Seville due to non-eruption of the left lower
second molar.
The patient was referred by her orthodontist, who detected the
impaction before starting orthodontic treatment. The orthodontist
requested that, if it was possible, we did not extract the root of
the third molar, because its eruption would be feasible in the
future (there would be sufficient space in the arch). The spaces
available were measured and we decided to attempt the repositioning
of the impacted tooth without extracting the root of the
wisdom tooth, which was carried out successfully
Inferior Alveolar Nerve Paresthesia After Overfilling of Endodontic Sealer Into the Mandibular Canal
The present study describes a case of endodontic sealer(AH Plus) penetration within and along the mandibular canal from the periapical zone of a lower second molar
after endodontic treatment. The clinical manifestations comprised anesthesia of the left side of the lower lip, paresthesia and anesthesia of the gums in the third
quadrant, and paresthesia and anesthesia of the leftmental nerve, appearing immediately after endodontic treatment. The paresthesia and anesthesia of the lip
and gums were seen to decrease, but the mental nerve paresthesia and anesthesia persisted after 3.5 years. This case illustrates the need to expend great care
with all endodontic techniques when performing nonsurgical root canal therapy, especially when the root apices are in close proximity to vital anatomic struc tures such as the inferior alveolar cana
Problematic social situations for peer-rejected students in the first year of elementary school
This study examined the social situations that are problematic for peer-rejected students in the first year of elementary school. For this purpose, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted on the Taxonomy of Problematic Social Situations for Children (TOPS, Dodge et al., 1985) in 169 rejected pupils, identified from a sample of 1457 first-grade students (ages 5–7) enrolled in 62 classrooms of elementary school. For each rejected student, another student of average sociometric status of the same gender was selected at random from the same classroom (naverage = 169). The model for the rejected students showed a good fit, and was also invariant in the group of average students. Four types of situations were identified in which rejected students have significantly more difficulties than average students. They are, in descending order: (a) respect for authority and rules, (b) being disadvantaged, (c) prosocial and empathic behavior, and (d) response to own success. Rejected boys have more problems in situations of prosociability and empathy than girls. The implications concerning the design of specific programs to prevent and reduce early childhood rejection in the classroom are discussed.Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad EDU2012-35930Universitat Jaume I P1-1A2012-0

Peer rejection and social behaviour in the classroom perceived by their teachers
Comunicación presentada en el Simposio “El rechazo entre iguales: Contextos y situaciones sociales”, coordinado por F. J. García Bacete, duranrre el VI Congreso Internacional de Psicología y Educación (CIPE VI), celebrado en Valladolid (España) del 29 de marzo al 1 de abril 2011.Las relaciones sociales tienen un alto impacto en el desarrollo personal, en especial en los
momentos iniciales, y en donde el entorno escolar es uno de los más importantes para los niños
y niñas. El tipo y calidad de esas relaciones tiene implicaciones que sobrepasan el ámbito
escolar, tanto presente como futuro. Lo habitual es que se establezcan relaciones aceptables,
en diferente intensidad, con la mayoría a la vez que se producen relaciones más intensas y
recíprocas con otros. Son los que Coie, Dodge y Coppotelli denominan como tipo sociométrico
“medio”, y que se estima que son el 60/65% de los integrantes del grupo. Sin embargo, hay
otros que no son aceptados por gran parte de sus compañeros, sino directamente “rechazados” (10/12% aproximadamente).
El perfil del alumnado en situación de rechazo es mayoritariamente varón (relación de 3/1
respecto a las mujeres), caracterizado por la inmadurez, ansiedad e incluso agresividad o aislamiento, dificultades de gestión emocional y en interpretación de las señales sociales, con escasas conductas de ayuda hacia los demás. Es un alumnado que suele tener dificultades para
desenvolverse socialmente. Sin embargo no lo hace de la misma manera ya que en el ámbito
escolar se producen multitud de situaciones diferentes. Es por ello que nuestro objetivo se
centra en conocer aquellas situaciones sociales en las que el alumnado en situación de rechazo presenta más dificultades con la finalidad posterior de diseñar y proporcionar intervenciones más específicas.
La muestra está formada por 217 niños y niñas (116 medios y 101 rechazados) de 35 aulas de
primero de Educación Primaria de 15 centros educativos de cuatro comunidades autónomas.
Como instrumento de recogida de datos se ha utilizado el Taxonomy of Problem Situations
(TOPS, de Dodge et al, 1985). Es un cuestionario formado por 44 ítems tipo Likert que mide, mediante la cumplimentación por parte del profesorado, el grado de dificultad que presenta
cada alumno en seis situaciones sociales: (a) entrada en el grupo de iguales; (b) respuesta a
la provocación; (c) respuesta al fracaso; (d) respuesta al éxito; (e) expectativas sociales de los
iguales; y (f) expectativas del profesor.
Como resultados más significativos nos encontramos con diferencias estadísticamente significativas en todas las dimensiones antes mencionadas, con mayores dificultades por parte
del alumnado rechazado que de los medios. Sin embargo, no se encuentran evidencias de que el
género sea una variable moduladora.Social relations have a high impact on personal development, especially in the initial moments,
where the school environment is one of the most important for children. The type and quality
of these relationships has implications that go beyond the school environment, both present and
future. Usually, the relationships established will be, in different intensity, acceptable to most
while more intense and reciprocal relationships with other are produced. Are those that Coie,
Dodge and Coppotelli called as sociometric “medium” type and it’s estimated to be 60/65% of
the group members. However, there are others who aren’t accepted by most of their peers, but
directly “rejected”.
The profile of students in a position of rejection is mostly male (ratio of 3 / 1 for women),
characterized by immature, anxiety and even aggressiveness or isolation, emotional management difficulties, interpretation of social cues and poor behavior of helping others. They are students that often have difficulties to function socially. However they don’t handle it in the same way
because many different situations are produced in the school. That’s why our aim is focused on knowing those social situations in which students in position of rejection have more difficulties in order to design and provide more specific interventions.
The sample consisted 217 children (116 medium and 101 rejected) attending first-grade of
primary school from 35 different classes of 15 centers in four autonomous regions. Taxonomy
of Problem Situations (TOPS, de Dodge et al, 1985) was used as data collection instrument. It’s a questionnaire, filled out by teachers, consisting of 44 Likert-type items measuring the degree of difficulty of each student in six social situations: (a) peer gropu entry; (b) response to peer
provocation; (c) response to failure; (d) response to success; (e) social expectations; (f) teacher
expectations. As the most significant results we have found statistically significant differences in all dimensions above, with rejected students showing greater difficulties than medium. However, It hasn't been found evidences that gender may be a moderator variable
Friends of the rejected girls and boys. An analysis of behavioral similarity
En este trabajo se presenta una primera aproximación al análisis de las relaciones de amistad recíprocas de
niños y niñas en situación de rechazo al comienzo de la escolarización primaria. El eje central del trabajo es confirmar
la hipótesis de la similitud conductual de las amistades contrastando una muestra de 111 niños rechazados
y 111 niños promedios. Las variables de conducta social que se utilizan para estudiar la similitud en la conducta
son habilidades sociales, agresión directa, agresión social, hiperactividad y retraimiento. Casi una tercera
parte de los niños rechazados no tienen relación recíproca de amistad. Los amigos de los rechazados tienen puntuaciones más bajas en habilidades sociales y más altas en todas las dificultades conductuales. Entre los promedios
de contraste también se encuentra relación entre la propia conducta y la de los amigos, aunque no para
todas las variables. Existe una relación significativa entre la conducta social negativa de los niños y niñas rechazados
y sus amigos. La hipótesis de la homofilia conductual se confirma, no así la segunda hipótesis formulada
que hace referencia a una mayor similitud conductual entre los rechazados y sus amigos.This work carries out a first approach to analyzing the relations of reciprocal friendship of children in situations
of rejection at the beginning of primary education. The focus is to verify the hypothesis of behavioral similarity
among friends, by contrasting a sample of 111 sociometrical average children with 111 rejected children.
The variables of social behavior that are used to study the behavioral similarity are social skills, direct aggression,
social aggression, hyperactivity and withdrawal. Nearly a third of the rejected children have no one single
mutual friendship. The scores of the friends of the rejected children are lower at social skills and higher at all the
behavioral difficulties. Among the average children used for the comparison, some correlations between one’s
own behavior and that of friends were also found, but not in all the variables. There is a significant correlation between
the negative social behavior of the rejected children and that of their friends. The hypothesis of behavioral
homophily is verified, but not the second stated hypothesis which refers to a greater behavioral similarity between
the rejected children and their friends.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad EDU2012-35930Plan de Promoción de la Investigación de la Universitat Jaume I P1-1A2012-0
Targeted Therapies in Sarcomas: Challenging the Challenge
Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of mesenchymal malignancies that very often lead to death. Nowadays, chemotherapy is the only available treatment for most sarcomas but there are few active drugs and clinical results still remain very poor. Thus, there is an imperious need to find new therapeutic alternatives in order to improve sarcoma patient's outcome. During the last years, there have been described a number of new molecular pathways that have allowed us to know more about cancer biology and tumorigenesis. Sarcomas are one of the tumors in which more advances have been made. Identification of specific chromosomal translocations, some important pathways characterization such as mTOR pathway or the insulin-like growth factor pathway, the stunning development in angiogenesis knowledge, and brand new agents like viruses have lead to the development of new therapeutic options with promising results. This paper makes an exhaustive review of preclinical and clinical evidence of the most recent targeted therapies in sarcomas and provides a future view of treatments that may lead to improve prognosis of patients affected with this disease
Peer reputation of rejected boys and rejected girls

García Bacete, duranrre el VI Congreso Internacional de Psicología y Educación (CIPE VI), celebrado en Valladolid (España) del 29 de marzo al 1 de abril 2011.VI Congreso Internacional de Psicología y EducaciónEl presente estudio trata de describir la reputación conductual asociada al rechazo entre iguales,
y analizar las diferencias reputacionales entre niños rechazados y niñas rechazadas. Para ello
se estudió a una muestra de 809 niños y niñas escolarizados en 35 aulas de 1º de Primaria,
ubicadas en 15 colegios públicos de las provincias de Castellón, Sevilla, Valladolid y Palma de Mallorca. Se identificó al 13,7% de la muestra como rechazados-as (71 niños y 40 niñas). Los
instrumentos utilizados fueron un Cuestionario de Nominaciones Sociométricas desarrollado
por el propio grupo de investigación (GREI, 2010), y una versión adaptada del Extended
Class Play de Wojslawowicz, Rubin, Burguess, Booth-LaForce & Rose-Krasnor (2006), que identifica seis factores reputacionales: Sociabilidad, Agresividad Directa, Agresividad Relacional, Hiperactividad/Disrupción, Timidez/Retraimiento y Exclusión/Victimización.
Los resultados mostraron diferencias reputacionales entre niños y niñas rechazados en los
factores de Agresión Directa, Agresión Relacional, Hiperactividad y Exclusión, diferencias
que reproducen las que se encuentran en el grupo de niños y niñas promedios. El análisis de
estos cuatro grupos de comparación mostró complejas relaciones entre el sexo, el estatus y las
dimensiones reputacionales.This study aims to describe the peer reputation associated with peer rejection, and analyze the
reputational differences between rejected boys and rejected girls. The sample consists on 809
school children in 35 classrooms of 1 Elementary, located in 15 public schools in the provinces of Castellon, Sevilla, Valladolid and Palma de Mallorca. It was identified 13,7% of the sample
as rejected (71 boys and 40 girls). The instruments used were a questionnaire of Sociometric
Nominations developed by the research group, and an adapted version of the Extended Class
Play by Wojslawowicz et al. (2006), which identifies six reputational factors: Competition Social Aggression Direct, Relational Agression, Hyperactivity / disruption, Shyness / Withdrawal and Exclusiom / Victimization. The results showed differences between boys and girls reputational
rejected factors direct aggression, relational aggression, hyperactivity and Exclusion, which
reproduce the differences found in the group of average children. The analysis of these four
comparison groups showed complex relationships between gender, status and reputational
