Evaluation of the agronomic performance and taxonomic characterization of four clones of oregano (Origanum sp.)

The objectives of this study were to evaluate four clones of oregano grown in major production areas andcarry out the taxonomic identification of these clones. Four clones of oregano named as "Mendocino","Compacto", "Cordobés" and "Criollo" were field evaluated in two locations: La Consulta (Mendoza) andCapilla de los Remedios (Córdoba). The following traits were measured: plant height (taken as the length ofthe longest branch in cm), fresh weight (kg ha-1) and dry weight (kg ha-1) and the water (%) and fiber contentwere estimated. The fiber content was estimated as the ratio dry weight / fresh weight). The botanicalidentification of the tested clones was conducted using the identification keys proposed by Ietswaart, Xifredaand Rouquaud & Videla. Significant differences between environments and between clones were observed forall analyzed traits. From the botanical identification it was determined that the clone "Medocino" correspondsto the hybrid Origanum x majoricum, the clone "Compacto" belongs to the species Origanum vulgare sspvulgare and clones "Criollo" and "Cordobés" both belong to the species Origanum vulgare ssp hirtum. Thedifferences observed between clones in terms of their agronomic performance were consistent with the resultsof the taxonomic identification of the clones.Fil: Torres, Lorena Elizabeth.

La satisfacción sexual en parejas con estilos de apego seguro y ansioso

Due to the strong link between sexual satisfaction, relational satisfaction and the attachment of both members of the dyad, the aim of this study was to examine the sexual and relational satisfaction in different attachment styles combinations. To address this, sexual and relational satisfaction in the different attachment styles of each participant as well as their partners were analyzed. Eightysix heterosexual couples participated, aged 20-60 years old. The results show that people with secure attachment have both better sexual and relational satisfaction. Heterosexual couples where both are secure, are those who are most satisfied. Secure women are less satisfied with their couple when men are anxious. However, men are equally satisfied whether the women feel secure or anxious. Thus, the satisfaction of the anxious member of the couple will depend on the attachment styles as well as the sex of the partner.Debido a la fuerte vinculación entre la satisfacción sexual, de pareja y el apego de ambos miembros de la diada, el objetivo de esta investigación fue examinar la satisfacción de pareja y sexual en las diferentes combinaciones de estilos de apego. Para ello se analizó la satisfacción sexual y de pareja en los diferentes estilos de apego de cada participante y de su pareja. En el estudio participaron 86 parejas heterosexuales, con edades entre los 20 y 60 años. Los resultados muestran que las personas seguras tienen una mayor satisfacción sexual y de pareja. Las diadas constituidas por un hombre seguro y una mujer segura son las que más satisfechas están, las mujeres seguras están menos satisfechas con sus parejas cuando ellos son preocupados pero los hombres seguros se encuentran igualmente satisfechos tanto si las mujeres son seguras como si son ansiosas. Por tanto, la satisfacción de un miembro de la pareja ansioso/a va a depender del estilo de apego y del sexo de su pareja

Clonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2

The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, we found 133 cases (1.42%) with detectable clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations (mCA) and 226 males (5.08%) with acquired loss of chromosome Y (LOY). Individuals with clonal mosaic events (mCA and/or LOY) showed a 54% increase in the risk of COVID-19 lethality. LOY is associated with transcriptomic biomarkers of immune dysfunction, pro-coagulation activity and cardiovascular risk. Interferon-induced genes involved in the initial immune response to SARS-CoV-2 are also down-regulated in LOY. Thus, mCA and LOY underlie at least part of the sex-biased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in aging patients. Given its potential therapeutic and prognostic relevance, evaluation of clonal mosaicism should be implemented as biomarker of COVID-19 severity in elderly people. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, individuals with clonal mosaic events (clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations and/or loss of chromosome Y) showed an increased risk of COVID-19 lethality

Relevamiento de los tipos de programas, estrategias y criterios que se proponen dentro del campo de la psicología respecto de la protección de niñas y niños ante posibles personas que pretendan abusar de sus cuerpos

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo identificar tipos de programas, estrategias y criterios que se proponen, dentro del campo de la psicología, respecto de la prevención de una de las formas en que los adultos abusan de los cuerpos de los niños, el abuso sexual infantil. La siguiente investigación es de tipo exploratoria. Se trabajará en el análisis de programas y estrategias, desarrollados dentro del campo de la psicología, que estén dirigidos a la prevención primaria y/o secundaria del abuso sexual infantil. Se realizará una clasificiación de los programas según los criterios de prevención. Luego se identificarán los criterios con los cuales trabajan. Finalmente se intentara definir posibles vías de abordaje de programas de prevención, en el campo de la psicología.Fil: Chaves, Lorena C. Facultad de Psicología.

Hybrid method with CS and BRKGA applied to the minimization of tool switches problem

The minimization of tool switches problem (MTSP) seeks a sequence to process a set of jobs so that the number of tool switches required is minimized. The MTSP is well known to be NP-hard. This paper presents a new hybrid heuristic based on the Biased Random Key Genetic Algorithm (BRKGA) and the Clustering Search (CS). The main idea of CS is to identify promising regions of the search space by generating solutions with a metaheuristic, such as BRKGA, and clustering them to be further explored with local search heuristics. The distinctive feature of the proposed method is to simplify this clustering process. Computational results for the MTSP considering instances available in the literature are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the CS with BRKGA. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
