Construcción territorial según los planes y proyectos estratégicos

Para comprender el desarrollo de las luchas socio-ambientales, los conflictos territoriales indígenas y las luchas por tierra y vivienda, es necesario reconocer, como propone nuestra mesa, las “tensiones constantes y cambiantes originadas por el avance del capital sobre los diferentes territorios en conflicto. Esto no puede disociase de la articulación de políticas que los Estados llevan adelante, involucrando a todos los poderes y a los distintos niveles de decisión". Municipios, provincias y regiones se subordinan a nuevos paradigmas espaciales y normativas acordes a estos, después que los Estados nacionales crearon compromisos a nivel hemisférico, desconocidos por los pueblos involucrados y violatorios de las constituciones nacionales y en algunos casos, de las soberanías nacionales. Las tres generaciones de reformas del Estado, se orientaron al perfeccionamiento de los mecanismos de desposesión y despojo del patrimonio público y social y hoy esto se expresa en el avance sobre los territorios en disputa. La reestructuración capitalista demanda nuevas formas de explotación de riqueza, imponiendo regionalizar a toda América Latina para la instalación de economías extractivistas de recursos naturales, para satisfacer al mercado externo. Pensamos necesario incursionar en el estudio de Planes Estratégicos locales, Planes y Proyectos Estratégicos Nacionales y Regionales y relacionarlos con el plan hemisférico como una dimensión entre otras, para ampliar la visión de la problemática compleja que nos ocupa.Fil: Anticic Lovic, Sara .

Quantum Key Distribution: Advantages, Challenges and Policy

The prospect of quantum computing threatens the security of modern encryption methods, putting our private communications at risk. With experts predicting the development of powerful quantum computers as early as the end of the decade, the urgency of transitioning to `quantum-safe’ communications is apparent. There are two classes of solutions available: post-quantum cryptography (PQC), which refers to communication algorithms designed to be safe against quantum computers, and quantum key distribution (QKD), a new technology with unique advantages and challenges. These solutions are not mutually exclusive, and this review argues that they are in fact complementary solutions to the threat of quantum computing. However, QKD has received criticism for being a less practical solution than PQC. This review makes the case for QKD and argues that it offers significant advantages which are not adequately recognised. I conclude that the development of QKD would benefit from increased government support and I provide policy recommendations for how to best support it

Rethinking Informed Consent in the Context of Big Data

A widely accepted method for addressing digital privacy concerns is the use of informed consent: asking users to agree to privacy policies and consent to the use of their personal data. This approach has come under strain with the emergence of “big data” in which large datasets are collected and analysed. This paper argues that since individuals do not understand or even read the privacy policies they agree to, informed consent ultimately fails to protect privacy. Following the work of Solon Barocas and Helen Nissenbaum, this paper proposes an updated definition of informed consent and argues that the responsibility of protecting privacy should be shifted from individuals to organisations

Flight Investigation of the Surface Pressure Distribution and Flow Field Around an Elliptical Spinner

A flight investigation has been made of the surface pressure distribution and the flow field around a dummy, nonrotating, elliptical spinner over a Mach number range from 0.65 to 0.95, which corresponds to a Reynolds number range from about 1.6 x 10(exp 6) per foot to about 3.9 x 10(exp 6) per foot. The results showed that free-stream conditions were approximated from about 15 to 90 percent of the spinner length, but the local Mach number in the propeller plane varied from about 5 percent less than free stream at a Mach number of 0.65 to about 10 percent less than free stream at a mach number of 0.95

Impulsive rats are less maternal.

Early life environment and maternal care can have long-lasting effects on behavior and physiology. Previously, we found that compared to mother-reared (MR) female rats, rats reared without mothers, siblings, and nest, through artificially rearing (AR), show reduced levels of maternal behavior when they grow up. These effects can be reversed if AR pups are provided with extra “licking-like” tactile stimulation during the preweaning period [Gonzalez et al. [2001] Developmental Psychobiology, 38(1), 11–42]. We also found that AR rats are more action impulsive and have reduced attentional capacities in comparison to their MR siblings [Lovic, Fletcher, & Fleming, in preparation; Lovic & Fleming [2004] Behavioural Brain Research 148: 209–219]. However, it is unknown whether increased impulsivity contributes to reduced levels of maternal behaviors. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between impulsivity and maternal behavior in AR and MR rats. Female rats were reared with (MR) or without mothers (AR) and half of the AR rats received additional stroking stimulation. As adults, AR and MR rats were mated and maternal behavior towards their own pups was assessed. In addition, rats were assessed on impulsive action (differential reinforcement of low-rate schedule; DRL-20s). Consistent with previous findings, AR rats were both less maternal and more action impulsive than MR rats. Partial correlations revealed that impulsivity was inversely related to pup licking-impulsive rats were less maternal. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Transformación de la ciudad de Cipolletti en contexto de la Planificación Estratégica

La propuesta de esta ponencia es abordar la transformación de la ciudad de Cipolletti, situada en el Alto Valle de la provincia de Río Negro con una población de noventa mil habitantes, según datos del último censo. Fue fundada en 1893 para satisfacer las necesidades de apropiación y puesta en marcha de tierras cultivables bajo riego, para el desarrollo de la fruticultura. Se trata de un estudio de caso que, haciendo eje en la transformación urbana aspira desentrañar el cambio urbano y rural como otra expresión socio-espacial del proceso de acumulación por desposesión de esta etapa del desarrollo capitalista y descubrir el lugar que esta población ocupa en términos geográficos, económicos, políticos y estratégicos, según una determinada división de roles dentro de su conglomerado de pertenencia, el Conurbano neuquino donde Neuquén capital es cabecera. Entendemos, en sentido relacional, que lo urbano y lo rural, en nuestro caso de estudio, debe observarse como partes de una misma realidad, desestimando la tradicional oposición campo-ciudad, teniendo en cuenta su génesis fundacional y atentos a que ambos espacios sufren en forma articulada la transformación y las contradicciones emergentes.Mesa 29: “La cuestión urbana interrogada”: producción de la ciudad, actores y conflictos, una mirada desde los estudios urbanosFacultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educació

Patients with coronary artery disease and diabetes need improved management: a report from the EUROASPIRE IV survey: a registry from the EuroObservational Research Programme of the European Society of Cardiology

BACKGROUND: In order to influence every day clinical practice professional organisations issue management guidelines. Cross-sectional surveys are used to evaluate the implementation of such guidelines. The present survey investigated screening for glucose perturbations in people with coronary artery disease and compared patients with known and newly detected type 2 diabetes with those without diabetes in terms of their life-style and pharmacological risk factor management in relation to contemporary European guidelines. ----- METHODS: A total of 6187 patients (18-80 years) with coronary artery disease and known glycaemic status based on a self reported history of diabetes (previously known diabetes) or the results of an oral glucose tolerance test and HbA1c (no diabetes or newly diagnosed diabetes) were investigated in EUROASPIRE IV including patients in 24 European countries 2012-2013. The patients were interviewed and investigated in order to enable a comparison between their actual risk factor control with that recommended in current European management guidelines and the outcome in previously conducted surveys. ----- RESULTS: A total of 2846 (46%) patients had no diabetes, 1158 (19%) newly diagnosed diabetes and 2183 (35%) previously known diabetes. The combined use of all four cardioprotective drugs in these groups was 53, 55 and 60%, respectively. A blood pressure target of 9.0% (>75 mmol/mol). Of the patients with diabetes 69% reported on low physical activity. The proportion of patients participating in cardiac rehabilitation programmes was low (≈40 %) and only 27% of those with diabetes had attended diabetes schools. Compared with data from previous surveys the use of cardioprotective drugs had increased and more patients were achieving the risk factor treatment targets. ----- CONCLUSIONS: Despite advances in patient management there is further potential to improve both the detection and management of patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease
