Emociones que experimenta un grupo de cuatro barristas de la “Barra Cabañax” pertenecientes a la “Rexixtenxia norte” del Deportivo Independiente Medellín al presenciar un partido de fútbol.

El objetivo principal de esta investigación fue describir las emociones que experimentan un grupo de cuatro barristas de la “Barra Cabañax” pertenecientes a la “Rexixtenxia norte” seguidores del Deportivo Independiente Medellín, al presenciar un partido de fútbol en el estadio Atanasio Girardot. Para su desarrollo se utilizó un enfoque cualitativo de tipo fenomenológico hermenéutico, que permitió describir cómo experimentan estos barristas las emociones. Se aplicaron las técnicas de observación participante y de entrevista semiestructurada para la generación de información. En la investigación participaron cuatro integrantes de esta barra que asisten constantemente a los encuentros deportivos. Se pudo concluir que los barristas experimentan una oscilación de emociones positivas y negativas mientras presencian un partido de futbol, entre ellas se encontraron la alegría, orgullo, amor, sorpresa, ira, tristeza, angustia y miedo. Se destaca que las emociones que más sobresalieron en el proceso de observación fueron: alegría, tristeza, ira y angustia. Además se identificaron unos elementos representativos para la barra como detonantes de emociones y conductas como “el trapo” y la “murga del indigente”.Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dio

Implementación del Sistema Pictográfico de Comunicación en un deportista con parálisis cerebral espástica: Reporte de un caso

La parálisis cerebral (PC) es definida como uno de los trastornos neurológicos no progresivos que puede originarse por lesiones o anomalías en el cerebro inmaduro o en desarrollo. La parálisis cerebral de tipo espástica, concomitan con alteraciones a nivel motor y de lenguaje, alterando los procesos de transmisión de mensajes durante la comunicación. En respuesta a dichas alteraciones a nivel comunicativo se crean los Sistemas de Comunicación Aumentativa y Alternativa (SAAC), herramientas que permiten la interacción con el medio, ya sea complementando las emisiones orales o sustituyéndolas por símbolos, palabras escritas, lectores digitales, entre otros. El objetivo de la presente investigación es implementar un sistema de comunicación alternativo en un deportista con parálisis cerebral, mediante el uso de la aplicación Let Me Talk®. Se inicia con una evaluación utilizando como instrumento el Test de Barcelona, para la identificación de habilidades de comunicación y lenguaje. El proceso de adaptación del Sistema Pictográfico de Comunicación se desarrolló en 10 sesiones, en las cuales el deportista participó mediante el uso de la aplicación; las sesiones se registraron en un formato de observación participante de autoría propia. En el análisis de los resultados, se concluye que el SAAC implementado le permitió al deportista la participación durante las conversaciones planteadas, estructurando oraciones simples y complejas con el uso de las categorías y flexiones gramaticales, y la ejecución de preguntas movilizadoras complementadas por expresiones no verbales, que favorecieron la participación independiente en las situaciones comunicativas

Global, regional, and national sex differences in the global burden of tuberculosis by HIV status, 1990–2019: results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Tuberculosis is a major contributor to the global burden of disease, causing more than a million deaths annually. Given an emphasis on equity in access to diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis in global health targets, evaluations of differences in tuberculosis burden by sex are crucial. We aimed to assess the levels and trends of the global burden of tuberculosis, with an emphasis on investigating differences in sex by HIV status for 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2019.publishedVersio

Wastewater treatment plant effluent inputs influence the temporal variability of nutrient uptake in an intermittent stream

Este artículo contiene 14 páginas, 5 figuras, 2 tablas.Wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) effluents alter water chemistry and in-stream nutrient uptake rates of receiving freshwaters, thus changing the magnitude and fate of the nutrients exported. In Mediterranean regions, the dilution capacity of receiving streams can vary strongly over time due to the seasonal occurrence of floods and droughts, causing temporal variability of nutrient uptake. We assessed the temporal patterns and the controlling factors of net nutrient uptake in an intermittent Mediterranean stream receiving WWTP effluent inputs. We compiled the longitudinal concentration profiles of ambient dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) along a 800 m reach on 47 sampling dates between 2001 and 2017, encompassing a wide range of hydrological conditions. We estimated net nutrient uptake in the receiving stream. In 72% of the dates, high rates of net ammonium uptake co-occurred with net releases of either nitrate or nitrite. This pattern suggests that the receiving stream has a high nitrification capacity. Conversely, 75% of the dates did not show any longitudinal pattern in SRP concentration, suggesting that uptake and release processes for this element were either counterbalanced or both occurred at very low rates. Finally, net ammonium uptake was low when the stream had a low dilution capacity (< 40%) and ammonium concentration was high. Overall, we demonstrate that consideration of the receiving stream’s dilution capacity is imperative to the management of freshwaters to guarantee an adequate dilution of WWTP effluent inputs and avoid saturation of in-stream nutrient uptake capacity under low flow conditions in urban landscapes.Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature.

SCIPP: An Expanded Community of Practice - Community Publishing

SCIPP redefines and expands the existing notions about what makes for a vibrant and robust community of practice by partnering CSUSB students and professors with K-12 students, parents, and educators, along with committed community partners. SCIPP encourages curiosity in ways that leads to critical thinking, exploration, risk taking , confidence building, open-mindedness, and other personal traits that equip them with the softskills to be active, critical, and creative contributors to our communities. SCIPP pedagogy embraces our students\u27 collective wisdom and focuses on relational building where multi-directional communication is promoted and students are viewed as equal stakeholders in their own educations. SCIPP puts collaboration into action which in turn fosters community-based lifelong learning. SCIPP provides the open intellectual space for future university students (our K-12 students) to engage with existing university students in meaningful ways so as to sustain interconnected partnerships facilitating community engagement. It supports parents as experts in the education of their children and acknowledges parents as the first conduits to spark their children’s imagination while they actively participate in education enriching activities and programs. Everyone involved is committed to creating a secure and open atmosphere for dreaming, sharing, and learning. Together we explore the aspects of community publishing through collaborative learning in formal and informal settings relating to digital and printed medias

Global, regional, and national burden of tuberculosis, 1990–2016: results from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors 2016 Study

Background Although a preventable and treatable disease, tuberculosis causes more than a million deaths each year. As countries work towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target to end the tuberculosis epidemic by 2030, robust assessments of the levels and trends of the burden of tuberculosis are crucial to inform policy and programme decision making. We assessed the levels and trends in the fatal and non-fatal burden of tuberculosis by drug resistance and HIV status for 195 countries and territories from 1990 to 2016. Methods We analysed 15 943 site-years of vital registration data, 1710 site-years of verbal autopsy data, 764 site-years of sample-based vital registration data, and 361 site-years of mortality surveillance data to estimate mortality due to tuberculosis using the Cause of Death Ensemble model. We analysed all available data sources, including annual case notifications, prevalence surveys, population-based tuberculin surveys, and estimated tuberculosis cause-specific mortality to generate internally consistent estimates of incidence, prevalence, and mortality using DisMod-MR 2.1, a Bayesian meta-regression tool. We assessed how the burden of tuberculosis differed from the burden predicted by the Socio-demographic Index (SDI), a composite indicator of income per capita, average years of schooling, and total fertility rate. Findings Globally in 2016, among HIV-negative individuals, the number of incident cases of tuberculosis was 9·02 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 8·05–10·16) and the number of tuberculosis deaths was 1·21 million (1·16–1·27). Among HIV-positive individuals, the number of incident cases was 1·40 million (1·01–1·89) and the number of tuberculosis deaths was 0·24 million (0·16–0·31). Globally, among HIV-negative individuals the age-standardised incidence of tuberculosis decreased annually at a slower rate (–1·3% [–1·5 to −1·2]) than mortality did (–4·5% [–5·0 to −4·1]) from 2006 to 2016. Among HIV-positive individuals during the same period, the rate of change in annualised age-standardised incidence was −4·0% (–4·5 to −3·7) and mortality was −8·9% (–9·5 to −8·4). Several regions had higher rates of age-standardised incidence and mortality than expected on the basis of their SDI levels in 2016. For drug-susceptible tuberculosis, the highest observed-to-expected ratios were in southern sub-Saharan Africa (13·7 for incidence and 14·9 for mortality), and the lowest ratios were in high-income North America (0·4 for incidence) and Oceania (0·3 for mortality). For multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, eastern Europe had the highest observed-to-expected ratios (67·3 for incidence and 73·0 for mortality), and high-income North America had the lowest ratios (0·4 for incidence and 0·5 for mortality). Interpretation If current trends in tuberculosis incidence continue, few countries are likely to meet the SDG target to end the tuberculosis epidemic by 2030. Progress needs to be accelerated by improving the quality of and access to tuberculosis diagnosis and care, by developing new tools, scaling up interventions to prevent risk factors for tuberculosis, and integrating control programmes for tuberculosis and HIV

Cross-Sectional Exploration of Plasma Biomarkers of Alzheimer's Disease in Down Syndrome: Early Data from the Longitudinal Investigation for Enhancing Down Syndrome Research (LIFE-DSR) Study

With improved healthcare, the Down syndrome (DS) population is both growing and aging rapidly. However, with longevity comes a very high risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The LIFE-DSR study (NCT04149197) is a longitudinal natural history study recruiting 270 adults with DS over the age of 25. The study is designed to characterize trajectories of change in DS-associated AD (DS-AD). The current study reports its cross-sectional analysis of the first 90 subjects enrolled. Plasma biomarkers phosphorylated tau protein (p-tau), neurofilament light chain (NfL), amyloid β peptides (Aβ1-40, Aβ1-42), and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were undertaken with previously published methods. The clinical data from the baseline visit include demographics as well as the cognitive measures under the Severe Impairment Battery (SIB) and Down Syndrome Mental Status Examination (DS-MSE). Biomarker distributions are described with strong statistical associations observed with participant age. The biomarker data contributes to understanding DS-AD across the spectrum of disease. Collectively, the biomarker data show evidence of DS-AD progression beginning at approximately 40 years of age. Exploring these data across the full LIFE-DSR longitudinal study population will be an important resource in understanding the onset, progression, and clinical profiles of DS-AD pathophysiology
