    This paper explores the ambivalence in the structural and discursive production of the class positions of migrants that have circulated between Lebanon, Syria and Mexico throughout the twentieth century. Its central argument is that the inscription of their subalternity as subjects of the French mandate on the Mashreq during the first half of the twentieth century has constituted their access to a privileged position in the Mexican context.Key words: Mashreq, México, France, Subalternity, Patronage

    Polar-midlatitude responses to sea ice reduction from long term coupled simulations

    While summer sea ice reduced dramatically/significantly, and the atmospheric warming is amplified over the Arctic, changes in the ocean are less obvious due to its higher inertia. The understanding of the ongoing changes at polar latitudes and its linkages to mid-latitude climate has become a top subject among climate research community. The ocean circulation response to an idealized decline in Arctic sea ice is investigated in a set of novel fully-coupled climate model (AWI-CM) experiments. The atmosphere and thermodynamics is resolved by ECHAM6.3 in a resolution of ca. 180Km, whereas FESOM resolves the ocean and dynamical aspects of the sea ice with resolution ranging from 25 to 150 km. A 250-year reference simulation (REF) is initialized with CORE II and WOA01 data and forced by 1990 greenhouse gases and aerosol concentrations. We conduct a comparative study in which three distinct thermodynamical perturbations are applied on the sea ice to induce a gradual sea ice reduction over 150-year period simulations. Our sensitivity experiments consist of three different approaches to induce an Arctic sea ice reduction: I) the albedo is modified by the increase of snow aging factor; II) reducing the lead closing parameter which resembles a loss of sea ice thickness rather than sea ice area; III) imposing an anomalous heat flux on the sea ice by adding 0.5 W/m2 of long wave radiation. To check the robustness of our results we undertake a second realization of each sensitivity experiment simply by initializing the experiments 30 years later. It is shown that ocean responses establish comparably in all sensitivity experiments. Dynamical adjustments of ocean fluxes and currents are not confined to the polar latitudes. The North Atlantic high-latitude indicates a southward shift of the North Atlantic Current pathway. Although the atmosphere seems to play a secondary role in responding and forcing dynamical changes in the Arctic Ocean, we believe that a negative annular-mode like trend explains the weakening of the westerly winds along the poleward flank of the jet stream, which in turn alters the upper ocean circulation

    Tooth transposition is a rare developmental disorder in which a normal tooth erupts in an inappropriate position. The change in position occurs between two adjacent teeth within the same quadrant. In this article, two cases of tooth transposition involving mandibular molars are described. Patient 1 presented with bilateral transposition between first and second mandibular molars. In addition, giroversion of the first molars was observed. Patient 2 presented with unilateral transposition between the mandibular left molars. Because this tooth disorder does not affect quality of life, both patients declined to seek dental treatment. Out of the 120 cases of tooth transposition found in the literature, 92,5% occurred in the maxilla and 15% were bilateral, 65,8% percent of these cases involved the canine and first premolar; 26.6% involved the canine and lateral incisor; 2,5% involved the canine and central incisor; and only 0.85% involved the first and second molar. The majority of tooth transposition cases occurred in women (66,6%). In literature, tooth transposition is a poorly-documented condition. Consequently, this report seeks to contribute to the existing information in the literature on this disorder.Resumo em português não disponíve

    La Influencia de la familia o tutores en el rendimiento escolar de jóvenes en situación de vulnerabilidad: un estudio de casos de alumnos del cuarto medio A y D del Liceo Alberto Hurtado de San Francisco de Mostazal

    Tesis (Psicopedagogo, Licenciado en Educación)El presente Seminario de Grado pretende comprender que la vulnerabilidad tiene relación con complejidades sociales, entendiendo por una parte, que existen factores de orden más estructural en su origen, que no radican en los sujetos, y que el asistencialismo promovido por el, que se limita a satisfacer las necesidades básicas para la supervivencia, no incide en la superación de los factores que causan la vulnerabilidad. Por ende, aunque el concepto de vulnerabilidad pasa a ser central en las políticas públicas no favorece al desarrollo humano. Específicamente, se define vulnerabilidad como "Condición dinámica que resulta de la interacción de una multiplicidad de factores de riesgo y protectores, que ocurren en el ciclo vital de un sujeto y que se manifiestan en conductas o hechos de mayor o menor riesgo social, económico, psicológico, cultural, ambiental y/o biológico, produciendo una desventaja comparativa entre sujetos, familias y/o comunidades" (JUNAEB, 2005, p. 14). De este modo, una mayor vulnerabilidad implica mayor riesgo. La presente investigación se enmarca dentro del Paradigma Post-Positivista, ya que se caracteriza por tener un rol ontológico, es decir, la realidad está sujeta al investigador pues permite comprender el contexto donde se encuentran los jóvenes y así tener una mirada empíricamente fundada de influencia de la familia en el rendimiento académico de los jóvenes con un alto nivel de vulnerabilidad, a su vez esta investigación recopila datos en un solo momento único, por ende, este estudio es de tipo no experimental transeccional, ya que su propósito es describir variables y analizar su incidencia e interrelación en un momento dado. El tipo de investigación es descriptivo, ya que busca especificar propiedades importantes de personas, grupos o comunidades que se ha sometido a análisis. Además intenta demostrar que el supuesto que tiene relación con el rendimiento escolar, no solo depende de los factores personales, sino que también a los factores contextuales familiares, difíciles de describir y que las políticas públicas actuales al no tomar en cuenta esta variable no ha sido efectiva. Para esta investigación se ha considerado como población de referencia a jóvenes que asisten al Liceo Alberto Hurtado, siendo la unidad de análisis los alumnos de cuarto año medio, en este caso cuarto año A y cuarto año D, la cantidad de jóvenes que serán entrevistados son 4 por caso. A través de la información obtenida y graficada, los resultados en cuanto al ámbito motivacional, establecen que los estudiantes desean en su mayoría aprender e investigar nuevos conocimientos, que desean comprender y entender lo que se les enseña, sin embargo, se observa una tendencia opuesta en especial el grupo de varones lo que indicaría desmotivación o falta de interés de estos por experimentar y conocer nuevas realidades, de acuerdo a la información de responsabilidad de los alumnos frente a sus estudios se observan los porcentajes más altos de desinterés o indiferencia, lo cual podría indicar que los alumnos no ven sus estudios como un factor de importancia o que sea relevante para ellos, finalmente el ámbito del apoyo familiar entrega la información necesaria para poder mencionar de que la percepción de los estudiantes respecto al apoyo que reciben en su hogar de familiares o sus tutores es positivo, osea que si cuentan en la mayoría de los casos con este factor de apoyo. No es el objetivo de este seminario dar una respuesta definitiva a la problemática expuesta, sino iniciar una reflexión a partir de experiencias y aportes teóricos que abordan una perspectiva similar a la orientación de esta investigación

    Analisar as componentes cultural e criativa de uma política autárquica pode ser um processo desafiante. Este desafio enfatiza-se ainda mais quando a investigação é realizada em um contexto específico pouco propício ao seu desenvolvimento como é o caso da pandemia mundial causada pela doença Covid-19. A vila de Óbidos foi provavelmente um dos lugares histórico-culturais que mais consequências sofreu causadas pela pandemia a nível nacional, assim como todos os eventos culturais e criativos de que é produtora. Não só a cultura obidense foi alvo de mudança, como também os setores turístico e comercial de que dela fazem parte. A presente investigação pretende ser uma viagem pelas vertentes cultural e criativa da vila, desde o contexto pré-pandémico, portanto anterior a março de 2020, até ao momento atual, setembro de 2021. Descobrir efetivamente o que se alterou, que alternativas nasceram, que medidas foram tomadas, não só através do Município, mas também por parte dos comerciantes e trabalhadores da vila, e, sobretudo, como toda a dinâmica de vila se reinventou. Pretende-se apurar estes dados através de vários momentos de pesquisa empírica recorrendo à utilização de entrevistas, junto das pessoas que passaram e observaram este fenómeno, como agiram e agem, como se sentem, o que mudou nas suas vidas e nos eventos culturais da vila. É possível concluir de que modos as componentes cultural e criativa de Óbidos foram afetadas pela pandemia. As fotografias de autor na vila complementam a investigação, de modo a torná-la mais multifacetada aludindo para a realidade observada.Analyzing the cultural and creative components of one autarchic policy can be a challenging process. This challenge is even more emphasized when the investigation is carried out in a specific context less propitious to its development such as the case of the worldwide pandemic caused by the Covid-19 disease. The town of Óbidos was probably one of the historical and cultural places that suffered the most consequences caused by the pandemic at a national level, as well as all the cultural and creative events that it produces. Not only the culture of Óbidos was the target of change, but also the tourist and commercial sectors that are part of it. This research aims to be a journey through the cultural and creative aspects of the town since the pre-pandemic context, so that before march of 2020, until the present time, September of 2021. Understand, for sure what has changed, what alternatives were born, what measures were taken, not only through the Municipality, but also by the town’s merchants and workers, and, above all, how the entire dynamic of the town was reinvented. It is intended to investigate this data through various moments of empirical research, with the people who have experienced and observed this phenomenon, how they acted and still act, how do they feel, what has changed in their lives and in the cultural events of the town. It is possible to conclude in which ways cultural and creative components of Óbidos were affected by the pandemic

    Revisão literária sobre pancreatite aguda canina

    Acute canine pancreatitis is characterized by inflammation that is completely reversible after removal of the triggering cause. It is a very common disease among dogs, and can be considered to have a severity that varies from mild to severe. It can have an idiopathic etiology, due to ductal obstruction, hypersecretion or biliary reflex to the pancreatic duct, among others. Trauma, ischemia, hypercalcemia, drugs, infections and hypertriglyceridemia can be predisposing factors. The most common clinical signs include lethargy, anorexia, stooped posture, emesis, hematemesis, diarrhea, hematochezia, tachypnea, dilated abdomen, polyuria, and polydipsia. Physical examination findings are depression, dehydration, abdominal pain, tachycardia, prolonged capillary refill time, sticky mucous membranes, hypothermia, petechiae, jaundice, and ascites. In more severe cases of acute pancreatitis, the consequence can be a systemic inflammatory response, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and/or multiple organ failure. For diagnosis, abdominal ultrasound and lipase-like immunoreactivity are the main tests. The treatment of acute pancreatitis is based on intravenous fluid therapy, analgesia and nutritional support, individually adapted to each need. Therefore, an accurate early diagnosis is important, which guarantees a better prognosis and reduces mortality rates.Pesquisa sem auxílio de agências de fomentoTrabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação)Pancreatite aguda canina é caracterizada por uma inflamação que é completamente reversível após a remoção da causa desencadeadora. É uma doença bastante comum entre os cães, e pode ser considerada de gravidade que varia de discreta a grave. Ela pode ter etiologia idiopática, por obstrução ductal, hipersecreção ou reflexo biliar ao ducto pancreático, entre outros. Traumatismos, isquemia, hipercalcemia, fármacos, infecções e hipertrigliceridemia podem ser fatores predisponentes. Os sinais clínicos mais comuns incluem letargia, anorexia, postura encurvada, êmese, hematêmese, diarréia, hematoquezia, taquipnéia, abdômen dilatado, poliúria e polidipsia. Os achados do exame físico são depressão, desidratação, dor abdominal, taquicardia, tempo de preenchimento capilar prolongado, membranas das mucosas pegajosas, hipotermia, petéquias, icterícia e ascite. Nos casos mais graves de pancreatite aguda, a consequência pode ser uma resposta inflamatória sistêmica, coagulação intravascular disseminada e/ou falência múltipla de órgãos. Para diagnóstico, a ultrassonografia abdominal e a imunorreatividade semelhante a lipase são os principais exames. O tratamento da pancreatite aguda é baseado na fluidoterapia intravenosa, analgesia e suporte nutricional, adaptado individualmente para cada necessidade. Assim sendo, é importante um diagnóstico precoce preciso, o que garante melhor prognóstico e diminui as taxas de mortalidade

    A Classification Model for Managers by Competencies: A Case Study in the Construction Sector

    Get PDF
    Many companies have difficulties in filling managerial positions. This is because there is a lack in understanding of the competencies that a manager must have. This is as true for those responsible for selecting managers as it is for the employee who aspires to be a manager. Furthermore, the construction industry seeks to appoint managers who are likely to excel in several different managerial roles. However, currently, there is no model that classifies managers by the different competencies they need to perform specific functions. This paper presents how a nonordered classification method was applied in a construction company in order to select managers for different roles. While no manager is considered to be more important than any other, they nevertheless need to have different competencies that match those needed for the job assigned to them. The model also serves as a guide for evaluating whether or not those already in or being considered for a managerial position have the competencies required

    La mediación familiar es un proceso alternativo de resolución de conflictos que prioriza el bienestar de la familia para que las partes involucradas puedan solucionar o minimizar la disputa; a través del diálogo interdisciplinar los psicólogos y otros operadores del derecho, actúan en conjunto como mediadores. Según estudios el mediador es una figura importante dentro de la mediación; no es quien soluciona ni resuelve las controversias, sino más bien, a través de un proceso oportuno conduce a pasos firmes para que sea beneficioso y productivo, mediante el consenso y posterior acuerdo. El objetivo general de la investigación fue describir la calidad de los procesos de mediación familiar realizados en centros de mediación pertenecientes a Cuenca, Azuay, en el año 2023. El estudio tiene un enfoque cuantitativo, un diseño no experimental, transversal y con un alcance descriptivo. Se trabajó con una población de 31 mediadores de seis centros de mediación de Cuenca, Azuay. Para ello, los instrumentos que se aplicaron fueron la ficha sociodemográfica que caracterizó a la población y el Cuestionario de Evaluación de la Calidad de los Procesos de Mediación Familiar ECAME 2.0, que evaluó la calidad de mediación. Como resultados se encontró que fueron las mujeres quienes más realizaron procesos de mediación familiar, además el componente predominante en la calidad de mediación es el resolutivo y la dimensión fue la de participación. En Cuenca, Azuay existe una calidad de medición alta por los profesionales de los seis centros de mediación, lo que evidencia altos estándares de mediación familiar.Family mediation is an alternative conflict resolution process that prioritizes the well-being of the family so that the parties involved can resolve or minimize the dispute; Through interdisciplinary dialogue, psychologists and other legal operators act together as mediators. According to studies, the mediator is an important figure in mediation; It is not the one who solves or resolves disputes, but rather, through a timely process leads to firm steps to make it beneficial and productive, through consensus and subsequent agreement. The general objective of the research was to describe the quality of family mediation processes carried out in mediation centers belonging to Cuenca, Azuay, in 2023. The study has a quantitative approach, a non-experimental, cross-sectional design with a descriptive scope. We worked with a population of 31 mediators from six mediation centers in Cuenca, Azuay. To this end, the instruments that were applied were the sociodemographic file that characterized the population and the Questionnaire for the Evaluation of the Quality of Family Mediation Processes ECAME 2.0, which evaluated the quality of mediation. As results it was found that it was women who most carried out family mediation processes, in addition the predominant component in the quality of mediation is the resolutive and the dimension was that of participation. In Cuenca, Azuay there is a high quality of measurement by the professionals of the six mediation centers, which evidences high standards of family mediation.0009-0009-3696-810

    La Ley moral: Una construcción entre la razón y la voluntad

    En términos generales, para Kant, la verdad de la ciencia moderna se fundamenta y legitima tanto en la experiencia sensible como en elementos a priori de la sensibilidad y del entendimiento, y eso explica las legítimas pretensiones de la universalidad que la caracteriza. Indiscutiblemente su mayor aporte consiste en haber comprendido que la ética -y con ella los derechos humanos y la justicia- si bien no se fundamenta en experiencia alguna, no por ello es menos racional que las ciencias naturales. Se desarrolla con base en la razón, pero autónomamente con respecto a la verdad científica. Así mismo, la razón humana es una sola y tiene un uso teórico y moral: la verdad y la justicia. Aunque por caminos diferentes, se allanan por una misma razón que es capaz de conocer y transformar el mundo, de generar valor moral en él. Verdad y justicia obedecen a leyes diferentes, pero pueden ser articuladas en un proyecto de sociedad garante y con conocimiento independiente, con el reconocimiento de la autonomía, la libertad y la dignidad de la persona humana. Cuando el ser humano identifica que es un ser racional, que es capaz de ubicarse temporal y espacialmente en un contexto determinado, atribuyéndose su propia igualdad respecto de sus semejantes y reconociendo la de estos últimos, está haciendo uso de la razón como la herramienta que lo hace diferente, un individuo autónomo y libre. Esta dimensión es la que permite aseverar que, solo mediante el uso de la razón el hombre descubre que existe una misma identidad humana, de la cual deriva la ley moral que rige a todos en un marco de justicia.In general terms, for Kant, the truth of modern science is founded and legitimized both in sensible experience and in a priori elements of sensibility and understanding, and that explains the legitimate claims of universality that characterize it. Unquestionably his greatest contribution consists in having understood that ethics - and with it human rights and justice - although it is not based on any experience, it is no less rational than the natural sciences. It develops based on reason, but autonomously with respect to scientific truth. Likewise, human reason is only one and has a theoretical and moral use: truth and justice. Although by different paths, they are paved for the same reason that is capable of knowing and transforming the world, of generating moral value in it. Truth and justice obey different laws, but they can be articulated in a project of a guarantor society and with independent knowledge, with the recognition of the autonomy, freedom and dignity of the human person. When the human being identifies that he is a rational being, that he is able to locate himself temporally and spatially in a given context, attributing his own equality with respect to his peers and recognizing that of the latter, he is making use of reason as the tool that allows him to do so. makes different, an autonomous and free individual. This dimension is what makes it possible to assert that, only through the use of reason, man discovers that there is the same human identity, from which the moral law that governs everyone in a framework of justice derives
