    The importance of Discourse Analysis can be seen from different perspectives. Each one contemplates distinct benefits related to applied linguistics, both for the teaching-learning of languages and for translation and interpreting, but also as a human. For this reason, in the context of the Bachelor's Degree in Languages at the Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, in which training for teaching and translation and interpretation is provided, we intend to emphasize the importance of Discourse Analysis for a Language Graduate, especially when practicing Audiovisual Translation. This work aims to identify different aspects of a real and spontaneous conversation to analyze several of the characteristics of oral discourse that are implicit in a dialogue and that can cause complications when transmitting the oral message in written form in the subtitling of audiovisual products.La importancia del Análisis del Discurso puede verse desde diferentes perspectivas. Cada una contempla distintos beneficios relacionados con la lingüística aplicada, tanto para la enseñanza-aprendizaje de lenguas como para la traducción e interpretación, pero también como ser humano. Por esta razón, en el contexto de la Licenciatura en Idiomas de la Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, en la que se brinda formación para la docencia y la traducción e interpretación, pretendemos enfatizar la importancia del Análisis del Discurso para un Licenciado en Idiomas, especialmente cuando practica Traducción Audiovisual. Este trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar diferentes aspectos de una conversación real y espontánea para analizar varias de las características del discurso oral que están implícitas en un diálogo y que pueden provocar complicaciones a la hora de transmitir el mensaje oral de forma escrita en el subtitulado de productos audiovisuales

    The process that goes from prospective decisions (oriented to risks ofmaximum profits with respect to minimum insurance benefits) to deliberateactions (oriented by avoidance of failures, based on the systematizationof errors and successes) is addressed in the present work, aiming to specifya model for the study of Internet entrepreneurship. A non-experimentalstudy was carried out with a non-probabilistic selection of 135 entrepreneurs.From a structural model, the reflective factor of the construct wasfound to be deliberate actions, but such findings are only applicable to thesample since the type of study, sampling, and statistical analysis suggestthe contrast of the model in other scenarios would increase the percentageof the explained variance of its factors, that added to 57% in this case

    Objective: The main objective of this study aimed to evaluate the response to treatment in implants with peri-implantitis regarding the presence or absence of keratinized mucosa. Materials and Methods: One hundred implants with peri-implantitis were treated non-surgically at the Prosthodontics and Occlusion Teaching Unit of the University of Valencia. Records were registered at day zero (recession, bleeding on probing, suppuration, probing depth, bone loss and plaque index), at 1, 3 and 6 months. Results: In both groups, a slight increase in recession and disappearance of suppuration took place, and no bone loss was observed during the following 6 months. However, after an initial reduction, probing depth, bleeding on probing and plaque index increased again in the group without keratinized mucosa (KM). Conclusions: Implants with KM presented better results after non-surgical treatment as well as in their medium-term evolution, although it would be advisable to increase the number of samples in order to achieve greater scientific evidence and standardization in the treatment protocol. Clinical relevance: The role of keratinized mucosa in the development of peri-implantitis has been mentioned in many publications, but less has been emphasized regarding its influence on the success of the treatment of this pathology. The presence of keratinized mucosa has been found to play a key role in the evolution of the non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. The amount of keratinized mucosa should be considered in the treatment of peri-implantitis, as well as when planning connective tissue grafts accompanying the decontamination of implants in the absence of keratinized mucosa.Odontologí

    Objective: To evaluate the influence of implant length on marginal bone loss, comparing implants of 4 mm, 6 mm, and >8 mm, supporting two splinted crowns after 36-month functional loading. Materials and Methods: this retrospective clinical trial evaluated the peri-implant behavior of splinted crowns (two per case) on pairs of implants of the same length placed in the posterior maxilla (molar area). Implants were divided into three groups according to length (Group 1: extra-short 4 mm; Group 2: short 6 mm; Group 3: conventional length >8 mm). Marginal bone loss was analyzed using standardized periapical radiographs at the time of loading and 36 months later. Results: 24 patients (19 women and 5 men) were divided into three groups, eight rehabilitations per group, in the position of the maxillary first and second molars. The 48 Straumann® Standard Plus (Regular Neck (RN)/Wide Neck (WN)) implants were examined after 36 months of functional loading. Statistical analysis found no significant differences in bone loss between the three groups (p = 0.421). No implant suffered biological complications or implant loss. Long implants were associated with less radiographic bone loss. Conclusions: extra-short (4 mm); short (6 mm); and conventional length (>8 mm) implants in the posterior maxilla present similar peri-implant bone loss and 100% survival rates in rehabilitation, by means of two splinted crowns after 36 months of functional loading. Implants placed in posterior positions present better bone loss results than implants placed in anterior positions, regardless of the interproximal area where bone loss is measured.

    Cueva de la Pileta es uno de los enclaves clásicos en la historiografía de la Prehistoria del sur de Iberia, sobre todo por las representaciones de arte rupestre. No obstante, el yacimiento también dispone de una amplia secuencia estratigráfica del Cuaternario reciente (p. ej., 7 m de potencia en la sala de los Murciélagos) que apenas ha recibido atención bibliográfica. Este trabajo se centra en la historiografía de los trabajos en el yacimiento y en el estudio de los materiales neolíticos. La colección cerámica y sus paralelos técnicos y estilísticos en el contexto del Mediterráneo y sur ibérico permiten integrar La Pileta dentro del primer Neolítico en Andalucía con una edad encuadrada en la segunda mitad del 8º milenio cal BP.Cave of La Pileta is a key site in southern Iberia prehistoric historiography. It’s mainly known for its rock art paintings, but the archaeological site also has a wide stratigraphic sequence of Recent Quaternary period (e.g. 7 meters in ‘Murciélagos’ Room) that has scarcely been studied. This paper focuses on historiographical analysis of worked areas and Neolithic materials. Ceramics and its stylistic and technical parallels in the Mediterranean and southern Iberian context allow us to classify Pileta in the first Neolithic period of Andalusia, second half of 8th millenium cal BP

    El extracto acuoso de ruta graveolens del norte de México causa apoptosis y muestra efecto antiproliferativo sobre el hígado de rata wistar: evidencia morfológica

    Ruta graveolens es una planta nativa del Mediterráneo Oriental y del área Sur Occidental de Asia, de esta planta se han aislado más de 120 compuestos químicos. En un estudio previo en nuestro laboratorio se observó que un extracto acuoso de R. graveolens causó necrosis y alteraciones morfológicas sugestivas de apoptosis sobre el hígado de rata Wistar. El objetivo del presente estudio, fue evaluar la inducción de apoptosis y el posible efecto antiproliferativo in vivo de un extracto acuso de R. graveolens del norte de México, mediante métodos inmunohistoquímicos. Se utilizaron 25 ratas Wistar y se dividieron en 5 grupos (n=5). El grupo 1 correspondió al grupo control negativo, el grupo 2 o control positivo se trató con 100 mg de dexametasona/kg/día. Los grupos 3 y 4 se trataron con 30 y 100 mg de extracto de R. graveolens/kg/día respectivamente. Al grupo 5 se le administraron 100 mg de dexametasona/kg/día combinados con 100 mg de extracto de R. graveolens/kg/día. Las administraciones se realizaron vía intraperitoneal por tres días. Los animales se sacrificaron por dislocación cervical, y se tomaron muestras de hígado que se fijaron en formalina, posteriormente se incluyeron en bloques de parafina. Se obtuvieron cortes histológicos que se tiñeron con el método tricrómico de Masson. También se realizaron pruebas inmunohistoquímicas de TUNEL, anti-bcl-2 y anti-PCNA; además de un estudio morfométrico. Los resultados demuestran por primera vez el potencial apoptósico y antiproliferativo del extracto acuoso de R. graveolens del norte de México, sobre el hígado de rata Wistar. Se sugiere la posibilidad de emplear dosis menores a las administradas en este estudio del extracto acuoso de R. graveolens, para investigar su potencial uso como agente antineoplásico en estudios in vitro con líneas celulares tumorales e/o implantadas en modelos murinos de cáncer

    Tailoring hyper-heuristics to specific instances of a scheduling problem using affinity and competence functions

    Get PDF
    Hyper-heuristics are high level heuristics which coordinate lower level ones to solve a given problem. Low level heuristics, however, are not all as competent/good as each other at solving the given problem and some do not work together as well as others. Hence the idea of measuring how good they are (competence) at solving the problem and how well they work together (their affinity). Models of the affinity and competence properties are suggested and evaluated using previous information on the performance of the simple low level heuristics. The resulting model values are used to improve the performance of the hyper-heuristic by tailoring it not only to the specific problem but the specific instance being solved. The test case is a hard combinatorial problem, namely the Hybrid Flow Shop scheduling problem. Numerical results on randomly generated as well as real-world instances are included

    Estradiol Regulates Energy Balance by Ameliorating Hypothalamic Ceramide-Induced ER Stress

    Compelling evidence has shown that, besides its putative effect on the regulation of the gonadal axis, estradiol (E2) exerts a dichotomic effect on the hypothalamus to regulate food intake and energy expenditure. The anorectic effect of E2 is mainly mediated by its action on the arcuate nucleus (ARC), whereas its effects on brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis occur in the ventromedial nucleus (VMH). Here, we demonstrate that central E2 decreases hypothalamic ceramide levels and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Pharmacological or genetic blockade of ceramide synthesis and amelioration of ER stress selectively occurring in the VMH recapitulate the effect of E2, leading to increased BAT thermogenesis, weight loss, and metabolic improvement. These findings demonstrate that E2 regulation of ceramide-induced hypothalamic lipotoxicity and ER stress is an important determinant of energy balance, suggesting that dysregulation of this mechanism may underlie some changes in energy homeostasis seen in femalesThe research leading to these results has received funding from Xunta de Galicia (R.N.: 2015-CP080 and 2016-PG057; M.L.: 2015-CP079), MINECO co-funded by the FEDER Program of EU (R.N.: BFU2015-70664R; D.P.: SAF2016-77526-R; C.D.: BFU2017-87721; M.L.: SAF2015-71026-R and BFU2015-70454-REDT/Adipoplast).
