SCIPP: An Expanded Community of Practice - Community Publishing

SCIPP redefines and expands the existing notions about what makes for a vibrant and robust community of practice by partnering CSUSB students and professors with K-12 students, parents, and educators, along with committed community partners. SCIPP encourages curiosity in ways that leads to critical thinking, exploration, risk taking , confidence building, open-mindedness, and other personal traits that equip them with the softskills to be active, critical, and creative contributors to our communities. SCIPP pedagogy embraces our students\u27 collective wisdom and focuses on relational building where multi-directional communication is promoted and students are viewed as equal stakeholders in their own educations. SCIPP puts collaboration into action which in turn fosters community-based lifelong learning. SCIPP provides the open intellectual space for future university students (our K-12 students) to engage with existing university students in meaningful ways so as to sustain interconnected partnerships facilitating community engagement. It supports parents as experts in the education of their children and acknowledges parents as the first conduits to spark their children’s imagination while they actively participate in education enriching activities and programs. Everyone involved is committed to creating a secure and open atmosphere for dreaming, sharing, and learning. Together we explore the aspects of community publishing through collaborative learning in formal and informal settings relating to digital and printed medias

INNOVA Research Journal

El (Censos, 2016) (INEC), en su encuesta nacional de empleo, desempleo y subempleo en el Ecuador, de marzo de 2016, informó que el 68,6% de las personas en edad de trabajar se considera económicamente activo; de éstos, el 94,3% se consideran con empleo, el 5,7% no cuenta con empleo formal o independiente. De las personas en edad de trabajar 31,4% forman parte de la población económicamente inactiva. El emprendimiento se presenta como una solución que permite generar empleo. A la luz de nuevas investigaciones sobre el consumo de carnes y productos procesados. Está evolucionando las percepciones de la población y se están modificando sus hábitos. Se cuestionan más sobre los efectos en su salud y sobre el impacto ambiental, es mayor la demanda de productos en cuya elaboración se genere un menor nivel de impacto ambiental. Siendo la responsabilidad ambiental, un factor que a las empresas competitivas globales y locales las ha llevado no sólo a cumplir con las disposiciones legales, sino a crear ventajas competitivas a partir de la promoción del trabajo realizado en favor de la protección del medio ambiente. El fomento de emprendimientos con responsabilidad ambiental, mediante el uso de fibras sintéticas y pieles artificiales ayudará a generar herramientas para incrementar el empleo, generando valor con responsabilidad ambiental

Clonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2

The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, we found 133 cases (1.42%) with detectable clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations (mCA) and 226 males (5.08%) with acquired loss of chromosome Y (LOY). Individuals with clonal mosaic events (mCA and/or LOY) showed a 54% increase in the risk of COVID-19 lethality. LOY is associated with transcriptomic biomarkers of immune dysfunction, pro-coagulation activity and cardiovascular risk. Interferon-induced genes involved in the initial immune response to SARS-CoV-2 are also down-regulated in LOY. Thus, mCA and LOY underlie at least part of the sex-biased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in aging patients. Given its potential therapeutic and prognostic relevance, evaluation of clonal mosaicism should be implemented as biomarker of COVID-19 severity in elderly people. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, individuals with clonal mosaic events (clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations and/or loss of chromosome Y) showed an increased risk of COVID-19 lethality

Biosorption technologies and membranes in the removal of heavy metals

En este trabajo se realizo la comparacion entre la tecnologia de membrana y biosorcion en la eliminacion de Pb +2 y Cd +2 de las aguas residuales de la industria minera. Se utilizo la celda de membranas SEPA CF II a escala laboratorio, que permite realizar operaciones de filtracion en flujo cruzado con las membranas comerciales de osmosis inversa (SE, GE Osmonics) y de nanofiltracion (DK, GE Osmonics), obteniendose un coeficiente de rechazo con la de osmosis de 98.77 para el Pb +2 y 98.30 para el Cd +2 ; y con la de nanofiltracion 98.67 para el Pb +2 y 98.05 para el Cd +2 . Con la tecnologia de biosorcion utilizanda en el bagazo de cana de azucar se obtuvieron porcentajes de remocion de 97.76 para el Pb +2 y 81.35 para el Cd +2 . Desde el punto de vista ambiental, las dos tecnologias son compatibles con el ambiente, y desde la perspectiva economica , las membranas cuentan con un costo inicial mayor que el proceso de biosorcion, pero su vida util es de cerca de 10 anos. En la biosorcion se pueden aprovechar residuales agricolas con un bajo costo de adquisicion.In this paper a comparison between biosorption membrane technology and the elimination of Pb +2 and Cd +2 wastewater from the mining industry is performed. SEPA cell membranes CF II laboratory scale operations that allows cross-flow filtration with reverse ósmosis membranes (SE, GE Osmonics) and nanofiltration (DK, GE Osmonics), yielding a ratio of ósmosis rejection of 98,77 for Pb +2 is used and 98.30 for Cd + 2 and nanofiltration 98,67 for Pb + 2 and 98.05 for Cd +2 . Powered by biosorption using sugar cane bagasse removal percentages for 97.76 and 81.35 Pb +2 for Cd +2 are obtained. From the environmental point of view the two technologies are compatible with the environment and from the economic point of view, the membranes have a higher initial cost than biosorption process but life is about 10 years, Biosorption you can take advantage of agricultural waste with low acquisition cost. © 2018 Instituto Mexicano de Tecnologia del Agua.

Hogar, pobreza y bienestar en México

Este libro está dedicado a los pobres de México, protagonistas silenciosos de un fenómeno social del que todos somos parte. En la medida en que nuestra percepción académica nos permita transitar de la observancia y el análisis de sujetos de estudio a la conformación de elementos de transformación social, será entonces cuando la investigación social trascienda como una entidad congruente y con un peso específico más allá del diagnóstico social y sus causas. Nuestro momento histórico plantea retos que cuestionan a la retórica y exige que los círculos académicos se mantengan atentos, sensibles y abiertos a la confrontación directa y sistemática de una realidad social, producto de la desigualdad. El verdadero mensaje de la pobreza requiere actitudes propositivas que vayan mucho mas allá del discurso y establezcan compromisos humanos más profundos. Esta edición es, entonces, una invitación al diálogo y la reflexión. Esperamos tocar tierra fértil y sembrar esperanza en beneficio de aquellos que experimentan de manera cotidiana la pobreza
