Desarrollo a Escala Humana y Resiliencia en las comunidades de El Chile y El Zarzal asociados a la Unión de Campesinos Organizados de San Dionisio (UCOSD)

En el presente documento investigativo se muestra acerca de la Unión Campesinos Organizados de San Dionisio desde la sub-cuenca del Rio Cálico en el Desarrollo a Escala humana y Resiliencia, el propósito de esta investigación, es realizar un estudio de caso cualitativo mediante la caracterización en el desarrollo a escala humana que existe en cada uno de los asociados de El Chile y EL Zarzal, seguidamente, el diagnóstico de resiliencia socio-económico y ambiental de estas mismas. La importancia de esta temática, consiste en un proceso metodológico de enseñanza, aprendizaje, análisis reflexivo en la investigación de acción y participación y sobre todo para los asociados de El Chile y El Zarzal. Lo tercero, A nivel analítico generalmente existen satisfactores potenciales y carencias que responde a un desarrollo escala humana entre las comunidades de El Chile y El Zarzal, es decir, la realidad de calidad de vida humana nunca será pulcro. El cuarto contexto, existen problemas en la parte organizativa (deficiencia administrativa por ambos, asociados/as y junta directiva) entre otros asuntos de mencionar. Por último la comunidad de El Chile presenta una vulnerabilidad baja ambiental, social y economía, además, en EL Zarzal una vulnerabilidad media ambiental, social y resiliencia baja en el aspecto económico.

Combining mobile-health (mHealth) and artificial intelligence (AI) methods to avoid suicide attempts: the Smartcrises study protocol

The screening of digital footprint for clinical purposes relies on the capacity of wearable technologies to collect data and extract relevant information’s for patient management. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques allow processing of real-time observational information and continuously learning from data to build understanding. We designed a system able to get clinical sense from digital footprints based on the smartphone’s native sensors and advanced machine learning and signal processing techniques in order to identify suicide risk. Method/design: The Smartcrisis study is a cross-national comparative study. The study goal is to determine the relationship between suicide risk and changes in sleep quality and disturbed appetite. Outpatients from the Hospital Fundación Jiménez Díaz Psychiatry Department (Madrid, Spain) and the University Hospital of Nimes (France) will be proposed to participate to the study. Two smartphone applications and a wearable armband will be used to capture the data. In the intervention group, a smartphone application (MEmind) will allow for the ecological momentary assessment (EMA) data capture related with sleep, appetite and suicide ideations. Discussion: Some concerns regarding data security might be raised. Our system complies with the highest level of security regarding patients’ data. Several important ethical considerations related to EMA method must also be considered. EMA methods entails a non-negligible time commitment on behalf of the participants. EMA rely on daily, or sometimes more frequent, Smartphone notifications. Furthermore, recording participants’ daily experiences in a continuous manner is an integral part of EMA. This approach may be significantly more than asking a participant to complete a retrospective questionnaire but also more accurate in terms of symptoms monitoring. Overall, we believe that Smartcrises could participate to a paradigm shift from the traditional identification of risks factors to personalized prevention strategies tailored to characteristics for each patientThis study was partly funded by Fundación Jiménez Díaz Hospital, Instituto de Salud Carlos III (PI16/01852), Delegación del Gobierno para el Plan Nacional de Drogas (20151073), American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) (LSRG-1-005-16), the Madrid Regional Government (B2017/BMD-3740 AGES-CM 2CM; Y2018/TCS-4705 PRACTICO-CM) and Structural Funds of the European Union.

Role of Mo in catalysts based on noble metals in hydrodeoxygenation reactions

The use of bio-energy as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels is nowadays attracting more and more attention. The bio-fuel from biomass seems to be a potential energy substitute for fossil fuels since it is a renewable resource that could contribute to sustainable development and global environmental preservation and it appears to have significant economic potential1. The problem is its high oxygen content, which gives undesirable properties for combustion. To remove oxygen, catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) reactions are carried out. Monometallic Mo/Si, Pt/Si as well as bimetallic PtMo/Si catalysts were prepared and evaluated in the hydrodeoxygenation (HDO)reaction of dibenzofurane (DBF) as a model molecule in biomass derived bio-oil.Universidad de Málaga.

Jorge eliécer gaitán y el positivismo: una construcción ideológica y jurídica

Jorge Eliécer Gaitán viajó en 1926 a la Real Universidad de Roma para perfeccionar sus estudios en Derecho Penal, dos años después de culminar sus estudios de Derecho en la Universidad Nacional; éste es un hecho destacado teniendo en cuenta las limitaciones económicas a que estaba sometido1. No obstante tales inconvenientes, pudo llevar a cabo satisfactoriamente sus estudios de especialización jurídicocriminal llegando incluso a obtener el premio Enrico Ferri por sus tesis de grado titulada: El criterio positivo de la premeditación. Fue allí donde Gaitán se permeó de la corriente positivista plasmándola tanto en su discurso político como en su práctica jurídica

Using a causal smoothing to improve the performance of an on-line neural network glucose prediction algorithm

This work evaluates a spline-based smoothing method applied to the output of a glucose predictor. Methods:Our on-line prediction algorithm is based on a neural network model (NNM). We trained/validated the NNM with a prediction horizon of 30 minutes using 39/54 profiles of patients monitored with the Guardian® Real-Time continuous glucose monitoring system The NNM output is smoothed by fitting a causal cubic spline. The assessment parameters are the error (RMSE), mean delay (MD) and the high-frequency noise (HFCrms). The HFCrms is the root-mean-square values of the high-frequency components isolated with a zero-delay non-causal filter. HFCrms is 2.90±1.37 (mg/dl) for the original profiles

Chondromodulin-I expression in the growth plate of young uremic rats

Chondromodulin-I expression in the growth plate of young uremic rats.BackgroundGrowth retardation of chronic renal failure is associated with alterations in the growth plate suggestive of a disturbed chondrocyte maturation process and abnormal vascular invasion at the chondro-osseous interphase. Chondromodulin I (ChM-I) is a potent cartilage-specific angiostatic factor. Its pattern of expression in the uremic rat growth plate is unknown. Persistence of ChM-I synthesis and/or imbalance between ChM-I and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expressions might play a role in the alterations of uremic growth plate.MethodsGrowth cartilage ChM-I expression was investigated by immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in growth-retarded young uremic rats (UREM), control rats, fed ad libitum (SAL) or pair-fed with the UREM group (SPF), and uremic rats treated with growth hormone (UREM-GH). VEGF expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry.ResultsChM-I and ChM-I mRNA were confined to the proliferative and early hypertrophic zones of growth cartilage. A similar number of chondrocytes per column was positive for ChM-I in the 4 groups. In accordance with the elongation of the hypertrophic stratum in uremia, the distance (X±SEM, μm) between the extracellular ChM-I signal and the metaphyseal end of growth cartilage was higher (P < 0.003) in UREM (236 ± 40) and UREM-GH (297 ± 17) than in SAL (92 ± 7) and SPF (113 ± 6). No differences in ChM-I expression were appreciated by RT-PCR. Similar VEGF positivity was observed in the hypertrophic chondrocytes of all groups.ConclusionIn experimental uremia, expansion of growth cartilage does not result from increased or persistent expression of ChM-I or from reduced VEGF expression at the cartilage-metaphyseal bone interphase. GH treatment does not modify ChM-I and VEGF expressions
