    Las cuencas de Wagner y de Consag se encuentran localizadas en la parte más septentrional del Golfo de California (GC). Con una profundidad máxima de 216 m, son las cuencas más someras del golfo y presentan una actividad gasohidrotermal submarina intensa (Canet et al., 2008)

    Biogenic vs geochemical precipitation of minerals in the submarine hydrothermal vents of Punta Mita, Mexico

    Get PDF
    The submarine hydrothermal vents located in the vicinity of Punta Mita contain abundant deposition of calcite, pyrite. Also present are barite, carbonate hydroxyl-apatite, cinnabar and T1-sulfide.Textures indicate direct deposition for calcite and pyrite; however, pyrite also replaces magnetite in the host rock. Thermal water was filtered and microscopic analysis of the particles fiom the filters shows that the shape of the crystals varies euhedral crystals of pyrite to globular aggregates that may be interpreted as a mixture of chemical and biogenic precipitation. Isotopic signature of sulfur in pyrite and carbón in calcite indicates that biogenic deposition is an important phenomenon in this hydrothermal systemPeer ReviewedPostprint (published version

    La reforma del aborto en España : perspectivas de un debate (re)emergente

    Get PDF
    Pertenece a la colección Religión, Género y Sexualidad / dirigida por Juan M. Vaggione ; v.8De manera creciente, desde finales del 2013 el escenario español visibiliza no sólo las marchas y contramarchas en relación a derechos sexuales y reproductivos sino cómo las disputas se renuevan poniendo de relieve la necesidad de reflexionar sobre las dimensiones que se ponen en juego en un debate sociopolítico contemporáneo. Los trabajos que integran este libro, surgen al calor del debate público abierto en España en torno a la reforma de los marcos regulatorios vigentes sobre salud reproductiva e interrupción voluntaria del embarazo. Discusiones que demandan marcos analíticos que permitan pensar estos procesos considerando tanto sus particularidades coyunturales como sus dimensiones comunes. Los análisis que integran este libro abordan desde diferentes perspectivas, diferentes dimensiones de un debate que no sólo involucra la norma explícita formal (la ley) sino lo que ese mismo debate promueve como sancionable, cuestionable. El contexto español sirve, de esta manera, como disparador de reflexiones que abren el panorama privilegiando miradas múltiples. La participación de personas provenientes de distintas disciplinas enriquece la conexión entre los trabajos poniendo de relieve la necesidad de reflexiones críticas constantes y alertando sobre la necesaria recreación de la praxis política, en particular cuando visiones más restrictivas buscan impactar sobre los marcos legales vigentes, opacando las relaciones de poder y subordinación en las que el derecho a decidir de las mujeres se actualiza como operación de control

    Metalogenia del depósito de manganeso Santa Rosa, Baja California Sur, México

    The Santa Rosa Mn-Ba deposit is located southwest of the town of San Nicolás and south of the Concepción Peninsula in Baja California Sur (Mexico). It consists of a manganese oxide vein-breccia striking NNW with a subvertical dip to the ENE that is exposed discontinuously over 500 m. The deposit is hosted in conglomerates that belong to the Los Volcanes member of the Pliocene age San Nicolas Formation. The mineralization is characterized mainly by banded and brecciated structures with manganese oxides (romanèchite and pyrolusite), along with barite, opal, quartz, calcite, magnetite-maghemite and minor goethite. The ore contains between 23.6 and 50.0 wt. % MnO, 13.3 and 32.4 wt. % SiO2, and 9.9 and 13.7 wt. % BaO. In addition, the ores are significantly enriched in Sr, Sb, As, Cu and Zn. The NASC normalized REE profles show a pronounced negative Eu anomaly and a more moderate negative Ce anomaly. The Fe/Mn and the Co/Zn ratios range between 0.01 and 0.16, and 0.17 and 0.34, respectively. Microthermometry suggests two fluid inclusion populations: one with an average Th of 136.5°C and estimated salinity of 4.2 wt. % equivalent NaCl, and the other with an average Th of 136°C and estimated salinity of 11.4 wt. % equivalent NaCl. The mineralogical and geochemical composition, together with the ore formation conditions and the geotectonic setting, suggest a genetic relation between the Santa Rosa deposit and the modern coastal hydrothermal systems of the Concepción Bay

    Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

    Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat
