Evolution of magnetic fields through cosmological perturbation theory
The origin of galactic and extra-galactic magnetic fields is an unsolved
problem in modern cosmology. A possible scenario comes from the idea of these
fields emerged from a small field, a seed, which was produced in the early
universe (phase transitions, inflation, ...) and it evolves in time.
Cosmological perturbation theory offers a natural way to study the evolution of
primordial magnetic fields. The dynamics for this field in the cosmological
context is described by a cosmic dynamo like equation, through the dynamo term.
In this paper we get the perturbed Maxwell's equations and compute the energy
momentum tensor to second order in perturbation theory in terms of gauge
invariant quantities. Two possible scenarios are discussed, first we consider a
FLRW background without magnetic field and we study the perturbation theory
introducing the magnetic field as a perturbation. The second scenario, we
consider a magnetized FLRW and build up the perturbation theory from this
background. We compare the cosmological dynamo like equation in both scenarios
Geodesic Deviation Equation in Bianchi Cosmologies
We present the Geodesic Deviation Equation (GDE) for the
Friedmann-Robertson-Walker(FRW) universe and we compare it with the equation
for Bianchi type I model. We justify consider this cosmological model due to
the recent importance the Bianchi Models have as alternative models in
cosmology. The main property of these models, solutions of Einstein Field
Equations (EFE) is that they are homogeneous as the FRW model but they are not
isotropic. We can see this because they have a non-null Weyl tensor in the GDE.Comment: Submitted to Journal of Physics: Conference Series (JPCS), ERE200
El crecimiento de las exportaciones menores y el sistema de fomento de las exportaciones en Colombia
En este estudio se hará un intento de explicar el crecimiento de las exportaciones menores durante los últimos veinte años a la luz de las políticas colombianas de fomento de las exportaciones. El esfuerzo de fomento de las exportaciones menores se inició a base de aproximaciones sucesivas en las cuales varió con frecuencia la definición de las exportaciones menores y las políticas algunas veces cambiaron de un año a otro
Noncommutative Geometry Inspired Rotating Black Hole in Three Dimensions
We find a new rotating black hole in three-dimensional anti-de Sitter space
using an anisotropic perfect fluid inspired by the noncommutative black hole.
We deduce the thermodynamical quantities of this black hole and compare them
with those of a rotating BTZ solution.Comment: 7 page
Boundary Term in Metric f(R) Gravity: Field Equations in the Metric Formalism
The main goal of this paper is to get in a straightforward form the field
equations in metric f(R) gravity, using elementary variational principles and
adding a boundary term in the action, instead of the usual treatment in an
equivalent scalar-tensor approach. We start with a brief review of the
Einstein-Hilbert action, together with the Gibbons-York-Hawking boundary term,
which is mentioned in some literature, but is generally missing. Next we
present in detail the field equations in metric f(R) gravity, including the
discussion about boundaries, and we compare with the Gibbons-York-Hawking term
in General Relativity. We notice that this boundary term is necessary in order
to have a well defined extremal action principle under metric variation.Comment: 12 pages, title changes by referee recommendation. Accepted for

The conceptualisation and measurement of DSM-5 Internet Gaming Disorder: the development of the IGD-20 Test
Background: Over the last decade, there has been growing concern about ‘gaming addiction’ and its widely documented detrimental impacts on a minority of individuals that play excessively. The latest (fifth) edition of the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) included nine criteria for the potential diagnosis of Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) and noted that it was a condition that warranted further empirical study. Aim: The main aim of this study was to develop a valid and reliable standardised psychometrically robust tool in addition to providing empirically supported cut-off points. Methods: A sample of 1003 gamers (85.2% males; mean age 26 years) from 57 different countries were recruited via online gaming forums. Validity was assessed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), criterion-related validity, and concurrent validity. Latent profile analysis was also carried to distinguish disordered gamers from non-disordered gamers. Sensitivity and specificity analyses were performed to determine an empirical cut-off for the test. Results: The CFA confirmed the viability of IGD-20 Test with a six-factor structure (salience, mood modification, tolerance, withdrawal, conflict and relapse) for the assessment of IGD according to the nine criteria from DSM-5. The IGD-20 Test proved to be valid and reliable. According to the latent profile analysis, 5.3% of the total participants were classed as disordered gamers. Additionally, an optimal empirical cut-off of 71 points (out of 100) seemed to be adequate according to the sensitivity and specificity analyses carried
Enfermedad ateroembólica. Presentación de un caso de afectación multisistémica y revisión de la literatura
The atheroembolic disease is an entity characterized by obstruction of multiple small arteries by cholesterol crystals. The incidence rises steeply with advancing age and following an invasive procedure involving arteries in patients with atherosclerosis. Actually it has a growing interest due to the increased frequency and to the lack of appropriate therapy. In this paper we report a clinical case of multiple system disease secondary to anticoagulant therapy in a 69 years old patient. We review the pathogenesis, clinical features, laboratory dates and pathology of the diseas
