El patrimonio histórico como recurso didáctico en el Parque Nacional del Teide

[EN] Teide National Park is a geographic space that has unique geological and natural characteristics, which validated its declaration as World Heritage Site in 2017. However, human activity has been recorded since pre-hispanic times, whose actions left their mark in the territory, this has allowed archaeology to understand how “guanche” human occupation has been articulated in the high mountain contexts of Tenerife. Nowadays, high school teachers have the inconvenient of a severe lack of visitable archaeological sites in Tenerife. Spaces in which the students can elaborate their knowlege about the aboriginal cultures of The Canaries. Therefore, in this article we intend to analyze the educative potential of this geographic space for the teaching of the Social Sciences, and especifically for History. We present an educative proposal which integrates Teide National Park in the education methods of the pre-hispanic period, specially having in mind the use of archaeological ítems, guided visits or other activities.[ES] El Parque Nacional del Teide es un espacio geográfico que destaca por sus características geológicas y naturales únicas, las cuales le valieron su declaración como patrimonio mundial en 2017. No obstante se trata también de un territorio humanizado desde la etapa prehispánica, cuyas actividades dejaron su huella en el territorio, dando a la arqueología numerosas pautas para conocer cómo se articuló la ocupación guanche de la alta montaña de Tenerife. En la actualidad el profesorado de enseñanza secundaria parte de un inconveniente destacable que es la falta de yacimientos arqueológicos visitables en la Isla de Tenerife, espacios en los que el alumnado pueda consolidar su conocimiento relativo a las culturas aborígenes canarias. Por ello con nuestro trabajo se pretende hacer un análisis del potencial didáctico para las Ciencias Sociales, y específicamente para la materia de Historia, de un espacio geográfico como es el Parque Nacional del Teide, presentando una propuesta que integre a Las Cañadas del Teide en la enseñanza de la etapa prehispánica de las Islas, teniendo en cuenta aspectos relacionados con el uso de objetos arqueológicos, visitas guiadas o actividades relacionadas con la disciplina arqueológica.Ruiz González, H.; Marrero Salas, E.; García Ávila, JC.; Abreu Hernández, I.; Arnay De La Rosa, M.

Las investigaciones arqueológicas como recurso en la gestión integral del patrimonio del Parque Nacional del Teide

[EN] The Teide National Park (PNT) was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2007 with the category of Natural Heritage. In addition to the great geological and faunal richness of the high mountains of Tenerife, the territory occupied by the current National Park also has a whole cultural landscape, which is evidenced by numerous archaeological and ethnographic manifestations. This shows the historical importance of this site of the island since pre-Hispanic times. In the last decade, several archaeological excavations have been carried out which have made it possible to better determine the Guanche way of life and the uses of this territory in its diachrony. The location, the conservation that the archaeological assets present and the information they are providing, together with the written sources generated about this territory after the conquest, constitute an important strategic reference for the development of management and integral research formulas within the Park's dissemination activities, which could contribute to its conservation, and to a better knowledge of our past in order to be able to transmit it to the whole population of the island, as well as to those who visit it.[ES] El Parque Nacional del Teide (PNT) fue declarado Patrimonio Mundial de la Humanidad por la Unesco en el año 2007 con categoría de Bien Natural. Además de la gran riqueza geológica y faunística que atesora la alta montaña de Tenerife, el territorio que ocupa el actual Parque Nacional entraña también todo un paisaje cultural evidenciado a través de numerosas manifestaciones arqueológicas y etnográficas, lo que pone de manifiesto la importancia histórica de este enclave de la isla desde época prehispánica. En la última década se han realizado varias excavaciones arqueológicas que han permitido determinar mejor el modo de vida guanche y los usos de este territorio en su diacronía. La ubicación, la conservación que presentan los bienes arqueológicos y la información que están aportando, junto con las fuentes escritas generadas sobre este territorio tras la conquista, constituyen un importante referente estratégico para el desarrollo de fórmulas de gestión e investigación integral dentro de las actividades de difusión del Parque, lo que podría contribuir a su conservación, y a un mejor conocimiento de nuestro pasado para poder transmitirlo a toda la población de la isla, así como a los que la visitan.Marrero Salas, E.; Array De La Rosa, M.; García Ávila, J.; Abreu Hernández, I.; Lacave Hernández, A.; Carballo Pérez, J.; Sanchez Cañadilla, E....

The Transcriptomic Portrait of Locally Advanced Breast Cancer and Its Prognostic Value in a Multi-Country Cohort of Latin American Patients

Purposes: Most molecular-based published studies on breast cancer do not adequately represent the unique and diverse genetic admixture of the Latin American population. Searching for similarities and differences in molecular pathways associated with these tumors and evaluating its impact on prognosis may help to select better therapeutic approaches. Patients and Methods: We collected clinical, pathological, and transcriptomic data of a multi-country Latin American cohort of 1,071 stage II-III breast cancer patients of the Molecular Profile of Breast Cancer Study (MPBCS) cohort. The 5-year prognostic ability of intrinsic (transcriptomic-based) PAM50 and immunohistochemical classifications, both at the cancer-specific (OSC) and disease-free survival (DFS) stages, was compared. Pathway analyses (GSEA, GSVA and MetaCore) were performed to explore differences among intrinsic subtypes. Results: PAM50 classification of the MPBCS cohort defined 42·6% of tumors as LumA, 21·3% as LumB, 13·3% as HER2E and 16·6% as Basal. Both OSC and DFS for LumA tumors were significantly better than for other subtypes, while Basal tumors had the worst prognosis. While the prognostic power of traditional subtypes calculated with hormone receptors (HR), HER2 and Ki67 determinations showed an acceptable performance, PAM50-derived risk of recurrence best discriminated low, intermediate and high-risk groups. Transcriptomic pathway analysis showed high proliferation (i.e. cell cycle control and DNA damage repair) associated with LumB, HER2E and Basal tumors, and a strong dependency on the estrogen pathway for LumA. Terms related to both innate and adaptive immune responses were seen predominantly upregulated in Basal tumors, and, to a lesser extent, in HER2E, with respect to LumA and B tumors. Conclusions: This is the first study that assesses molecular features at the transcriptomic level in a multicountry Latin American breast cancer patient cohort. Hormone-related and proliferation pathways that predominate in PAM50 and other breast cancer molecular classifications are also the main tumor-driving mechanisms in this cohort and have prognostic power. The immune-related features seen in the most aggressive subtypes may pave the way for therapeutic approaches not yet disseminated in Latin America.
