All landslides were digitized into a geographic information system GIS , and a spatial geo-database of landslides was constructed from standardized GIS datasets. Stage 2 Calculates the susceptibility for the watershed. During this stage, Multiple Logistic Regression and SINMAP will be evaluated to select the one that provides scientific accuracy, technical accessibility, and applicability.

Stage 3 Estimate the potential total material delivered to the main stream drainage channel by all landslides in the catchment. Detailed geometric measurements of individual landslides visited during the field work will be carried out to obtain the landslide area and volume. These measurements revealed an empirical relationship between area and volume that took the. The proper control of built heritage entails many challenges related to the complexity of heritage elements and the extent of the area to be managed, for which the available resources must be efficiently used.

In this scenario, the preventive conservation approach, based on the concept that prevent is better than cure, emerges as a strategy to avoid the progressive and imminent loss of monuments and heritage sites. Regular monitoring appears as a key tool to identify timely changes in heritage assets. This research demonstrates that the supervised learning model Support Vector Machines - SVM is an ideal tool that supports the monitoring process detecting visible elements in aerial images such as roofs structures, vegetation and pavements. The linear, gaussian and polynomial kernel functions were tested; the lineal function provided better results over the other functions.

It is important to mention that due to the high level of segmentation generated by the classification procedure, it was necessary to apply a generalization process through opening a mathematical morphological operation, which simplified the over classification for the monitored elements. A wall of this canal collapsed on February 5, due to heavy rains creating the flooding of four surrounding communities. It is important to point out that this area is frequently exposed to floods.

For each critical facility we determined its operational, structural and physical vulnerabilities. For our analysis, we considered the four main natural hazards to which Valle de Chalco is exposed: We considered five levels of vulnerability using a scale from 1 to 5, where values range from very low to very high vulnerability, respectively. A critical facilities database was generated by collecting general information for three categories: Each facility was evaluated considering its location in relation to identified high-risk areas. Our results indicate that in average, the global vulnerability of all facilities is low, however, there are particular cases in which this global vulnerability is high.

The average operational vulnerability of the three communities is moderate. The global structural vulnerability sum of the structural vulnerability for the four analyzed hazards is moderate. In particular, the structural vulnerability to earthquakes is low, to landslides is very low, to flooding is moderate and to sinking is.

The dominant paradigm in disaster risk reduction DRR policies has been seriously contested because of its reliance on interventions based on technocratic expertise. In the Mexican context, the influence of informal practices such as clientelism and cartelisation of the political system produces environmental degradation and vulnerability to disasters within the communities in the study site. This paper contributes to understanding of failed institutional processes and parallel practices that intensify vulnerability to disasters by contrasting the discourses of agents within a peri-urban community in central Mexico.

Employing the Situational Analysis Approach as a methodological framework, the study identifies divergent views and practices within the community, leading to different responses to disasters and to different perceptions regarding institutional performance. In addition, it finds that institutional decision-making, based only on scientific and technical expertise, has resulted in unintended consequences that influence ongoing vulnerability to floods in the site under review.

The B[e] phenomenon is related to certain peculiar features observed in the spectrum of some B stars, which are mainly linked to the physical conditions of their circumstellar medium. As these stars are embedded in dense and optically thick circumstellar media, the determination of the spectral type and luminosity class of the central objects is quite difficult. As a consequence, their evolutionary stage and distances present huge uncertainties. In this work we study 4 B[e] stars and discuss their stellar fundamental parameters and evolutionary stages using the BCD spectrophotometric system.

Redbacks belong to the family of binary systems in which one of the components is a pulsar. Recent observations show redbacks that have switched their state from pulsar - low mass companion where the accretion of material over the pulsar has ceased to low mass X-ray binary system where emission is produced by the mass accretion on the pulsar , or inversely. The irradiation effect included in our models leads to cyclic mass transfer episodes, which allow close binary systems to switch between one state to other. We apply our results to the case of PSR J, and discuss the need to include new ingredients in our code of binary evolution to describe the observed state transitions.

Information is provided on: Factors influencing tropical island freshwater fishes: Species, status, and management implications in puerto rico [Factores que influencian a los peces tropicales de agua dulce: Especies, estado actual e implicaciones para el manejo en Puerto Rico.

Anthropogenic effects including river regulation, watershed development, contamination, and fish introductions have substantially affected the majority of freshwater habitats in Europe and North America. This pattern of resource development and degradation is widespread in the tropics, and often little is known about the resources before they are lost.

This article describes the freshwater resources of Puerto Rico and identifies factors that threaten conservation of native fishes. The fishes found in freshwater habitats of Puerto Rico represent a moderately diverse assemblage composed of 14 orders, 29 families, and 82 species. There are fewer than 10 species of native peripherally-freshwater fish that require a link to marine systems. Introductions of nonindigenous species have greatly expanded fish diversity in freshwater systems, and native estuarine and marine species 18 families also commonly enter lowland rivers and brackish lagoons.

Environmental alterations, including land use and development, stream channelization, pollution, and the impoundment of rivers, combined with nonnative species introductions threaten the health and sustainability of aquatic resources in Puerto Rico. Six principal areas for attention that are important influences on the current and future status of the freshwater fish resources of Puerto Rico are identified and discussed. Mining activities in Mexico have been continuously developed since Since then several thousands of million tons of waste produced as a result of the mining activity have been accumulated and scattered throughout the territory.

These wastes can contain minerals with potentially toxic elements PTEs such as Cr, As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, which show a distribution and mobility in the environment according to the chemical species in which are hosted. Due to their in-slope hydrographic position, the mining activities increase the risk of generating anthropogenic effluent that could contribute with a certain amount of mine-water with high contents of PTEs. Although magnetic methods have been widely applied to pollution studies of regions with high anthropogenic impact, its application to tailings is scarce in spite of the several studies that document the environmental effects as a result of the mining waste.

We present the results obtained by combined geochemical and rock-magnetic studies in these tailings. Fe concentrations determined magnetically from room-temperature susceptibility measurements agrees with those obtained by traditionally geochemical methods.

Hydrocarbon exploration has nowadays a diversity of technological resources to capture, merge and interpret information from diverse sources. To accomplish this, the integration of geodata for modeling was done through the use of new technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographical Systems of Information and applied to the San Pedro-Machango area, located in the Serrania de Trujillo , west of Costa Bolivar onshore , eastern Maracaibo Basin, Venezuela.

The main purpose of this work was to optimize the design of an exploration program in harmony with environmental conservation procedures. The use of a system that combines information of geographical, geodetical, geophysical and geological origins with satellital and radar images produced up to date cartography and refined results of image interpretation. Recent work by Trujillo and Shephard and Batygin and Brown has shown an as-yet unexplained clustering of the periapse vectors of the most distant Kuiper Belt objects. This unusual clustering has motivated the search for an unseen perturbing planet that is responsible for maintaining the alignment.

As a proof of concept of a technique for locating unseen solar system planets, we use dynamical N-body integrations to simulate the orbital dynamics of distant Kuiper Belt objects, with the aim of determining the orbital parameters of Neptune which, for the sake of exercise, we assume is, as-yet, undiscovered. Coal and cremation in ancient Peru.

This chapter represents a travelog of my life and career and the philosophical points I acquired along the way. I was born on a sugar plantation on the island of Hawaii and early on had a stuttering problem.

I link my life and career to various principles and events, some of which are: The guiding light throughout my career were the words from Drs. Eduardo Trujillo and Robert Shepherd, respectively, "Dennis, don't just be a test tube scientist, do something to help people" and "Now tell me, what have you really accomplished? Mineral resources of Peru's ancient societies. Northern Peru has an exceptionally rich archaeological heritage that includes metalwork, ceramics and textiles. The success of at least a half-dozen pre-Columbian societies dating back 3, years and subsequent Spanish colonization in the s has rested on the effective use of northern Peru's abundant resources.

In the summer of , my son Matt and I learned about that connection firsthand by volunteering at the Santa Rita B archaeological site in the Chao Valley near Trujillo in northern Peru. Riding donkey-back through the Andes and talking with local people, we got our hands dirty in the rich archaeology and geology of the area.

We were able to correlate mineral occurrences to their various roles in society - opening a window into the region's fascinating past. From construction to metallurgy, pre-Columbian societies flourished and advanced because of their understanding and use of the available mineral resources.

Tuberculosis TB continues to cause a high toll of disease and death among children worldwide. The diagnosis of childhood TB is challenged by the paucibacillary nature of the disease and the difficulties in obtaining specimens. Whereas scientific and clinical research efforts to develop novel diagnostic tools have focused on TB in adults, childhood TB has been relatively neglected.

Blood transcriptional profiling has improved our understanding of disease pathogenesis of adult TB and may offer future leads for diagnosis and treatment. No studies applying gene expression profiling of children with TB have been published so far. LTBI in our dataset. Furthermore, this minimal set showed a significant discriminatory value for TB vs. In order to identify a robust representative gene set that would perform well in populations of different genetic backgrounds, we selected ten genes that were highly discriminative between TB, LTBI and HC in all literature datasets as well as in our dataset.

HBV exposure was significantly lower in men below 18 years old and also lower than rates previously reported in other Amerindian communities from Venezuela. While in developed countries the prevalence of allergic diseases is rising, inflammatory diseases are relatively uncommon in rural developing areas. High prevalence rates of helminth and protozoan infections are commonly found in children living in rural settings and several studies suggest an inverse association between helminth infections and allergies.

No studies investigating the relationship between parasitic infections and atopic diseases in rural children of developing countries under the age of 2 years have been published so far. We performed a cross-sectional survey to investigate the association of helminth and protozoan infections and malnutrition with recurrent wheezing and atopic eczema in Warao Amerindian children in Venezuela. From August to November , children aged 0 to 2 years residing in the Orinoco Delta in Venezuela were enrolled.

Data were collected through standardized questionnaires and physical examination, including inspection of the skin and anthropometric measurements. A stool sample was requested from all participants and detection of different parasites was performed using microscopy and real time polymerase chain reaction PCR.

Atopic eczema and recurrent wheezing were more frequently observed in stunted compared with non-stunted children in multivariable analysis OR 4. Furthermore, recurrent wheezing was significantly more often observed in children with protozoan infections than in children without protozoan infections OR 6.

High prevalence rates of atopic eczema and recurrent wheezing in Warao Amerindian children under 2 years of age were related to stunting and intestinal protozoan infections respectively. Recurrent wheezing is associated with intestinal protozoan infections in Warao Amerindian children in Venezuela: Background While in developed countries the prevalence of allergic diseases is rising, inflammatory diseases are relatively uncommon in rural developing areas.

Subjects with a positive COPCORD diagnosis either historic or current pain were evaluated by primary care physicians and rheumatologists. A descriptive analysis was performed and comparisons made using analysis of variance and the chi-square test. Musculoskeletal and rheumatic diseases included osteoarthritis The prevalence of RRPS was high in all three ethnic groups.

The Chaima group had the highest prevalence of rheumatic diseases, with 2. This study provides useful information for health care policy-making in indigenous communities. High prevalence of acute respiratory tract infections among Warao Amerindian children in Venezuela in relation to low immunization coverage and chronic malnutrition.

Higher prevalence rates of acute respiratory tract infections ARTIs have been described in Australian and Canadian indigenous populations than in nonindigenous age-matched counterparts. We performed a cross-sectional survey to describe the prevalence of upper respiratory tract infections and acute lower respiratory tract infections ALRTIs and associations with malnutrition and immunization status.

From December 1, to May 31, , Warao Amerindian children 0 to 59 months of age living in the Delta Amacuro in Venezuela were included in a cross-sectional survey. Data were obtained through parent questionnaires, vaccination cards, and physical examinations including anthropometric measurements. Background The International Study on Asthma and Allergies in Childhood ISAAC reported a prevalence of asthma symptoms in 17 centers in nine Latin American countries that was similar to prevalence rates reported in non-tropical countries.

It has been proposed that the continuous exposure to infectious diseases in rural populations residing in tropical areas leads to a relatively low prevalence of asthma symptoms. As almost a quarter of Latin American people live in rural tropical areas, the encountered high prevalence of asthma symptoms is remarkable.

Wood smoke exposure and environmental tobacco smoke have been identified as possible risk factors for having asthma symptoms.

Methods We performed a cross-sectional observational study from June 1, to September 30, in which we interviewed parents and guardians of Warao Amerindian children from Venezuela. The associations between wood smoke exposure and environmental tobacco smoke and the prevalence of asthma symptoms were calculated by means of univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses.

Results We included children between two and ten years of age. The prevalence of asthma symptoms was associated with the cooking method. Children exposed to the smoke produced by cooking on open wood fires were at higher risk of having asthma symptoms compared to children exposed to cooking with gas AOR 2. Four percent of the children lived in a household where more than ten cigarettes were smoked per day and they had a higher risk of having asthma symptoms compared to children who were not exposed to cigarette smoke AOR 2.

Conclusion Our findings suggest that children living in rural settings in a household where wood is used for cooking or where more than ten cigarettes are smoked. High prevalence of asthma symptoms in Warao Amerindian children in Venezuela is significantly associated with open-fire cooking: The International Study on Asthma and Allergies in Childhood ISAAC reported a prevalence of asthma symptoms in 17 centers in nine Latin American countries that was similar to prevalence rates reported in non-tropical countries. We performed a cross-sectional observational study from June 1, to September 30, in which we interviewed parents and guardians of Warao Amerindian children from Venezuela.

Los bosques juegan un papel central en el ciclo de carbono de los Estados Unidos y global. El ciclo natural de un Development of a seroprevalence map for avian influenza in broiler chickens from Comunidad Valenciana, Spain.

The aim of this study was to design and implement a seroprevalence map based on business intelligence for low pathogenicity notifiable avian influenza LPNAI in broilerchickens in Comunidad Valenciana Spain. The software mapping tool developed for this study consisted of three main phases: To obtain the serological data, the authors analysed 8, serum samples from broiler farms over three years. The data were represented on a map of Comunidad Valenciana, including geographical information of flock locations to facilitate disease monitoring.

The data from this study showed no evidence of contact with LPNAI in broiler flocks and the novel software mapping tool proved a valuable method for easily monitoring on the serological response to avian influenza information, including geographical information. Initial results of the oesophageal and gastric cancer registry from the Comunidad Valenciana.

Fourteen of the 24 public hospitals belonging to the Comunidad Valenciana participated. All patients with diagnosis of oesophageal or gastric carcinomas operated from January to December were evaluated. Demographic, clinical and pathological data were analysed. Four hundred and thirty-four patients oesophageal carcinomas and gastric carcinomas were included.

Only two hospitals operated more than 10 patients with oesophageal cancer per year. Transthoracic oesophaguectomy was the most frequent approach A total gastrectomy was performed in On the contrary, lower oesophagus and GOJ carcinomas were treated preferably with chemotherapy alone Any neoadjuvant treatment was administered to Half patients with oesophageal carcinoma or gastric carcinoma received no adjuvant treatment.

This registry revealed that half patients with oesophageal cancer were operated in hospitals with less than 10 cases per year at the Comunidad Valenciana. Also, it detected capacity improvement for some clinical outcomes of oesophageal and gastric carcinomas. An analysis of academic activities of college faculty at the eight campuses of Chile's Universidad Tecnica del Estado was conducted.

Activities were grouped into seven categories: Radioactivity measurements on migrating birds Turdus philomelos captured in the Comunidad Valenciana Spain. The radionuclides Cs, Cs and 90Sr have been measured in edible tissues and bones of migratory birds song-thrushes, Turdus philomelos from central and northern Europe and captured in the Comunidad Valenciana, Spain in the autumn-winter season.

Eight years after the Chernobyl accident, extensive agricultural lands in Europe are still contaminated and this study shows that there was a transfer of radioactive isotopes to the captured migratory song-thrushes. The whole-body dose commitment to humans consuming these birds is estimated. Paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic investigations on Isla de los Estados , Argentina.

The aim of the expedition was threefold: Detailed geomorphologic and stratigraphic mapping of glacial deposits were combined with sampling sediments for OSL dating. In addition, living trees of Nothofagus and old logs preserved in the peat were sampled for dendrochronological and dendroclimatological studies.

Preliminary results show that the deglaciation of the study area occurred before cal yr BP. Detailed multi- proxy analyses of the four sequences are under way and first results will be presented. Astrophysics and technological developments in Comunidad de Madrid. AstroMadrid is a network constituted by different research groups in the Comunidad de Madrid area, with the objective of coordinating the activities related to the development of astronomical instrumentation in the various centres.

AstroMadrid is a multidisciplinar team which benefits from the synergies provided by the different participating groups, optimizing our capabilities to develop instrumentation, and minimizing the problems related to the geographical dispersion within our region. AstroMadrid is also participated by several aerospace industries, which complement the capabilities and facilities available in the research centres.

In addition to optimizing the development of instrumentation, AstroMadrid plays an essential role in the formation of new engineers and scientists, by actively contributing to some Master degree courses organized by different Universities in Madrid. Genetic variability in environmental isolates of Legionella pneumophila from Comunidad Valenciana Spain. Legionella pneumophila is associated to recurrent outbreaks in several Comunidad Valenciana Spain localities, especially in Alcoi, where social and climatic conditions seem to provide an excellent environment for bacterial growth.

We have analysed the nucleotide sequences of three loci from 25 environmental isolates from Alcoi and nearby locations sampled over 3 years. The analysis of these isolates has revealed a substantial level of genetic variation, with consistent patterns of variability across loci, and comparable to that found in a large, European-wide sampling of clinical isolates.

Among the tree loci studied, fliC showed the highest level of nucleotide diversity. The analysis of isolates sampled in different years revealed a clear differentiation, with samples from being significantly distinct from those obtained in and Furthermore, although linkage disequilibrium measures indicate a clonal nature for population structure in this sample, the presence of some recombination events cannot be ruled out. HIV infections are still a very serious concern for public heath worldwide.

We have applied molecular evolution methods to study the HIV-1 epidemics in the Comunidad Valenciana CV, Spain from a public health surveillance perspective. These sequences were subtyped and subjected to phylogenetic analyses in order to detect transmission clusters. In addition, univariate and multinomial comparisons were performed to detect epidemiological differences between HIV-1 subtypes, and risk groups.

Subtype B is more likely to form transmission clusters than non-B variants and MSMs to cluster than other risk groups. Multinomial analyses revealed an association between non-B variants, which are not established in the local population yet, and different foreign groups. An overview of measurements of radionuclides in foods of the Comunidad Valenciana Spain. Environmental radioactivity monitoring includes the determination of radionuclides in foods since they are an important way of intake of radionuclides to the human organism. Moreover, knowledge of the levels of radionuclides in foodstuffs will inform about the environmental radioactivity background permitting to control possible contamination due to human activity, such as agriculture activity, nuclear power plants or other radioactive facilities.

Those measurements are part of several monitoring programs promoted by the Generalitat Valenciana. A total of samples of fruits, cereals, vegetables, milk, meat, eggs and fish coming from markets, agricultural cooperatives or small producers have been analyzed. A gamma-ray spectrometry analysis has been performed in all samples.

It has been detected 40K in all samples, 7Be in some of them. Radiochemical separation of 90Sr has been carried out in some of the samples collected, mainly orange and lettuce. In this paper, a review of the data obtained at the period in the framework of the development of the Environmental monitoring program is presented.

Argentine gas system underway for Gas del Estado. In addition to the in. Legionella pneumophila infects humans to produce legionellosis and Pontiac fever only from environmental sources. In order to establish control measures and study the sources of outbreaks it is essential to know extent and distribution of strain variants of this bacterium in the environment.

Sporadic and outbreak-related cases of legionellosis have been historically frequent in the Comunidad Valenciana region CV, Spain , with a high prevalence in its Southeastern-most part BV. Environmental investigations for the detection of Legionella pneumophila are performed in this area routinely. We present a population genetics study of 87 L. Our goal was to compare environmental genetic variation at two different geographic scales, at county and regional levels. Genetic diversity, recombination and population structure were analyzed with Sequence-Based Typing data and three intergenic regions.

The results obtained reveal a low, but detectable, level of genetic differentiation between both datasets, mainly, but not only, attributed to the occurrence of unusual variants of the neuA locus present in the BV populations. This differentiation is still detectable when the 10 loci considered are analyzed independently, despite the relatively high incidence of the most common genetic variant in this species, sequence type 1 ST However, when the genetic data are considered without their associated geographic information, four major groups could be inferred at the genetic level which did not show any correlation with sampling locations.

The overall results indicate that the population structure of these environmental samples results from the joint action of a global, widespread ST-1 along with genetic differentiation at shorter geographic distances, which in this case are related to. Radioactive source materials in Los Estados Unidos de Venezuela. This report summarizes the data available on radioactive source materials in Los Estados Unidos de Venezuela accumulated by geologists of the Direccions Tecnica de Geolgia and antecedent agencies prior to June , and the writers from June to November The investigation comprised preliminary study, field examination, office studies, and the preparation of this report, in which the areas and localities examined are described in detail, the uranium potentialities of Venezuela are summarized, and recommendations are made.

Preliminary study was made to select areas and rock types that were known or reported to be radioactive or that geologic experience suggests would be favorable host for uranium deposits, In the office, a study of gamma-ray well logs was started as one means of amassing general radiometric data and of rapidly scanning many of ye rocks in northern Venezuela; gamma-ray logs from about representative wells were examined and their peaks of gamma intensity evaluated; in addition samples were analyzed radiometrically, and petrographically.

Radiometic reconnaissance was made in the field during about 3 months of , or about 12 areas, including over localities in the State of Miranda, Carabobo, Yaracuy, Falcon, Lara, Trujillo, Zulia, Merida, Tachira, Bolivar, and Territory Delta Amacuro. During the course of the investigation, both in the filed and office, information was given about geology of uranium deposits, and in techniques used in prospecting and analysis. All studies and this report are designed to supplement and to strengthen the Direccion Tecnica de Geologias's program of investigation of radioactive source in Venezuela now in progress.

The uranium potentialities of Los Estados de Venezuela are excellent for large, low-grade deposits of uraniferous phospahtic shales containing from 0. Seroprevalence of human Trypanosoma cruzi infection in the North of Estado de Mexico. Chagas disease is a neglected public health problem in Mexico; however, detailed studies to determine the seroprevalence in some states have not been performed. A total 1, human serum from thirteen communities in Estado de Mexico, were analyzed with three diagnostics techniques. The overall seroprevalence was 9.

Our data demonstrated the seroprevalence of T. Turning scientific approaches into practical conservation actions: Optimum natural resource management and biodiversity conservation are desirable goals. These, however, often exclude each other, since maximum economic benefits have promoted drastic reductions in biodiversity throughout the world. This dilemma confronts local stakeholders, who usually go for maximizing economic inputs, whereas other social e.

In this paper we describe the way two scientific approaches--landscape and participatory research--were used to develop sound and durable land use scenarios. These two approaches included expert knowledge of both social and environmental conditions in indigenous communities. Our major emphasis was given to detect spatially explicit land use scenarios and capacity building in order to construct a decision support system operated by stakeholders of the Comunidad Indigena de Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro in Mexico.

The system for decision-making was fed with data from inventories of both abiotic and biotic biodiversity components. All research, implementation, and monitoring activities were conducted in close collaboration with members of the indigenous community. As a major result we obtained a number of forest alternative uses that favor emerging markets and make this indigenous community less dependent on a single market.

Furthermore, skilled members of the community are now running the automated system for decision-making. In conclusion, our results were better expressed as products with direct benefits in local livelihoods rather than pure academic outputs. Limited research has documented interventions aimed at promoting use of existing recreational community resources among underserved populations. The aim was to evaluate overall attendance rates and to assess which factors predicted higher attendance. The design was a cohort study. From to , a total of participants were recruited across 5 consecutive cohorts.

The intervention consisted of organized physical activity and nutrition programming at parks and recreational facilities and a free YWCA membership. Attendance at all activities was objectively recorded. Regression analyses were used to evaluate whether demographic factors, health status, and health beliefs were associated with attendance. Results Participants included mostly females at high risk for cardiovascular disease A total of On average, total attendance was Se eliminaron los visados de trabajo temporal y se limitaron los visados de residentes a Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS requires complex multidisciplinary attention.

Clinical pathways are assistance plans for certain diseases with a predictable course. These plans are established in isolated centers, not in multicenter regions. The aim is to develop a clinical pathway capable of organizing and homogenizing assistance given in ALS Assistance Network- Comunidad de Madrid which is made up of five hospitals, from the beginning until the end of the disease.

In successive meetings, neurologists of these hospitals and members of the Madrid Health Service evaluated published therapeutic guidelines and other documents used in ALS assistance. A clinical pathway was created consisting of a scientist-technical framework which arranges the attention in relationship to the diagnosis and treatment, according to the degree of disease progression and a chronogram. This is accompanied by several patient information documents on the disease and the tests that are required, and a patient assistance evaluation form.

The standards are established to reach and to promote constant improvement in patient care. Clinical pathway for the ALS assistance in a regional network organizes the attention and cares that the patients must receive from the beginning to the end of the disease. This arrangement and homogenization of the attention improves the quality of patient care, diminishes variability and rationalizes the use of the health care resources.

Assistant physicians contributed most of papers. Chief of section and chief of department contributed fifth of papers.

Product description

Comunicado de prensa de la EPA: The integration of environmental geology methods and concepts within the framework of a regional administration; the case of the Comunidad Valenciana, Spain. The process of transfer of jurisdictions on environmental matters from the central administration to an autonomous regional government is described. The main approaches taken by different autonomous regions in Spain, to deal with the problems of setting up an environmental administrative organization are also briefly commented here.

Finally, the specific structure of the environmental administration in the Comunidad Valenciana and the main guidelines of its environmental policies are explained. It is concluded that earth science can provide a very useful basis for the drafting of these policies in the region, because of the specific nature of the problems to be dealt with, related mainly to water management, soil conservation, land occupation, natural hazards and preservation of natural areas. The ontogeny and composition of the community are discussed and are related to oxygen liberation during photosynthesis of the periphyton, or of the pond-bottom algne, which carries up portions of the algae growing there.

This special partnership has allowed students from Mexico and the United States to study two master degree programs, in two languages, in two…. Strategic Planning for Institutions of Higher Education: Ten-year development plans of each of the eight campuses of the Universidad de Santiago de Chile, formerly called Universidad Tecnica del Estado , are evaluated, using content analysis. In addition to narrative descriptions, diagrams illustrate the features of each plan, which covers the period Topics covered by the plans were grouped….

The institute proposed solutions based on surveys conducted at sugarcane mills in cane-producing states and on the medical and hospital system adopted by the institute's enlightened bureaucracy in the s, which took the U. Special focus is given to the central hospitals in Pernambuco and especially in Alagoas, which opposed institute guidelines. Children in rural areas experience the interrelated problems of poor growth, anemia and parasitic infections. We investigated the prevalence of and associations between intestinal helminth and protozoan infections, malnutrition and anemia in school-age Venezuelan children.

This cross-sectional study was conducted in children aged years from three rural areas of Venezuela: Stool samples were collected for direct parasitic examinations. Anthropometric indicators of chronic height-for-age Z score and acute weight-for-height and Body Mass Index BMI -for-age Z score in respectively children under 5 years of age and children aged 5 years and above malnutrition were calculated. Multivariate linear and logistic regression models were built to determine factors associated with nutritional status and polyparasitism.

The prevalence of Giardia lamblia infection was not significantly different between regions average: Hemoglobin levels were significantly decreased in children with a hookworm infection. In multivariate analysis including all regions, G. Furthermore, hemoglobin levels were positively associated with the height-for-age Z score 0.

In rural populations in Venezuela helminthiasis and giardiasis were associated with acute and chronic nutritional status respectively. These data highlight the need for an integrated approach to control transmission of parasites and improve the health status of rural Venezuelan children.

In volcanic terrains, dormant stratovolcanoes are very common and can trigger landslides and debris flows continually along stream systems, thereby affecting human settlements and economic activities. It is important to assess their potential impact and damage through the use of landslide inventory maps and landslide models. The catchment covers 5. The geologic and geomorphologic factors in combination with high seasonal precipitation, high degree of weathering, and steep slopes predispose the study area to landslides.

The method encompasses two main levels of analysis to assess landslide susceptibility. The first level builds a historic landslide inventory. In the study area, an inventory of more than landslides was mapped from interpretation of multi-temporal aerial orthophotographs and local field surveys to assess and describe landslide distribution. All landslides were digitized into a GIS, and the spatial geo-database of landslides was constructed from standardized GIS datasets.

The second level calculates the susceptibility for the watershed. Multiple Logistic Regression MLR was used to examine the relationship between landsliding and several independent variables elevation, slope, terrain curvature, flow direction, saturation, contributing area, land use, and geology.

This has involved adapting the syllabus, where one of the new features is considering clinical practice as an independent subject and also including the concept of competence as a result of the students' learning. The figure of the tutor becomes one of the key factors and therefore their activities and competencies must be defined.

Quantitative focus, analysis by group of experts between and A total of nurses have participated, 17 panels of experts have met and consensus has been reached on 22 competencies and 12 activities. The description of activities and competencies can be extremely useful for selecting, evaluating and developing nursing clinical practice tutors, becoming a baseline and reducing the subjectivity in the development of tutors according to the new demands of the European Higher Education Area.

Differences between leisure-time physical activity, health-related quality of life and life satisfaction: Al Ritmo de las Comunidades , a natural experiment from Colombia. Physical inactivity is one of the major public health problems worldwide. Community-based interventions have been pointed out as a promising strategy to increase physical activity PA levels and impact population health. There is growing evidence for two benefits derived from the practice of PA: Data were obtained using the baseline cross-sectional survey of participants belonged to the intervention group as part of the natural experiment Al Ritmo de las Comunidades.

The Monte del Estado massif is the largest and northernmost serpentinized peridotite belt in southwest Puerto Rico. It is mainly composed of spinel lherzolite and minor harzburgite with variable clinopyroxene modal abundances. Mineral and whole rock major and trace element compositions of peridotites coincide with those of fertile abyssal peridotites from mid ocean ridges. The relative enrichment of LREE in whole rock is not due to secondary processes but probably reflects the capture of percolating melt fractions along grain boundaries or as microinclusions in minerals, or the presence of exotic micro-phases in the mineral assemblage.

We propose that the Monte del Estado peridotite belt represents a section of ancient Proto-Caribbean Atlantic lithospheric mantle originated by seafloor spreading between North and South America in the Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous. This portion of oceanic lithospheric mantle was subsequently trapped in the forearc region of the Greater Antilles paleo-island arc generated by the northward subduction of the Caribbean plate beneath the Proto-Caribbean ocean. Finally, the Monte del Estado peridotites belt was emplaced in the Early Cretaceous probably as result of the change in subduction polarity of the Greater Antilles paleo-island arc without having been significantly modified by subduction processes.

Geospatial tools for the identification of a malaria corridor in Estado Sucre, a Venezuelan north-eastern state. Landscape ecology research relies on frameworks based on geographical information systems GIS , geostatistics and spatial-feature relationships. With regard to health, the approach consists of systems analysis using a set of powerful tools aimed at the reduction of community vulnerability through improved public policies.

The north-oriental malaria focus, one of five such foci in Venezuela, situated in the north-eastern part of the Estado Sucre state, unites several social and environmental features and functions as an epidemiological corridor, i. A GIS was developed based on official cartography with thematic overlays depicting malaria distribution, socio-economic conditions, basic environmental information and specific features associated with the natural wetlands present in the area.

Generally, malaria foci are continuously active but when the malaria situation was modelled in the north-oriental focus, a differential, spatio-temporal distribution pattern situation was found, i. This pattern was displayed by spatial and statistical analysis based on the model generated in this study and the results were confirmed by municipal and county malaria records.

Control of malaria, keeping the incidence at a permanently low level within the regional population, should be possible if these results are taken into account when designing and implementing epidemiological surveillance policies. Their languages, Mazahua and Otomi, belong to the Oto-Manguean linguistic family, and although they share cultural traditions and a regional history that suggest close genetic relationships and common ancestry, the historical records concerning their origin are confusing.

We identified the mtDNA haplogroups by restriction fragment length polymorphism typing and sequenced hypervariable region 1 of the mtDNA control region in Mazahua and Otomi. These results showed that Otomi exhibit a higher frequency of haplogroup A than B, whereas Mazahua exhibit the opposite pattern. The genetic differences between the Mazahua 1 and Otomi EM suggest a distant shared ancestry and a moderate degree of maternal admixture that has not obscured the difference of their mtDNA patterns.

These unexpected results suggest the Mazahua and Otomi probably descend from the same group but separated very early and admixed with other Mesoamerican populations before their arrival in Central Mexico. The historical evidence of conflicting relations between the Mazahua and Otomi and the almost nonexistence of marriage between them could be responsible for maintaining only a moderate degree of maternal admixture.

This fault is located in the middle of the Trans Volcanic Belt in the center of the Mexican territory and generated a large seismic event in with magnitude 6. In this work we measure the different vulnerabilities of the SMT community: In addition, we determinate the total vulnerability, by summing all estimated vulnerabilities, for the critical facilities identified in this town.

Besides, we considered a minimum sample statistically significant of the total houses with a random sampling for our survey.

The results for independent vulnerabilities are as follows: Background Children in rural areas experience the interrelated problems of poor growth, anemia and parasitic infections. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted in children aged years from three rural areas of Venezuela: Conclusions In rural populations in Venezuela helminthiasis and giardiasis were associated with acute and chronic nutritional status respectively.

This analysis divided the watershed into 12 mass-wasting landforms on which gravitational processes occur: For each landform the landslide area rate and the landslide frequency rate were calculated as well as the overall hazard rating. The slope-stability hazard rating has a range that goes from low to very high.

The overall hazard rating for this watershed was very high. The shallow slide type landslide was selected and area and volume of individual landslides were retrieved from the watershed landslide inventory geo-database, to establish an empirical relationship between area and volume that takes the form of a power law. The relationship was used to estimate the total volume of landslides in the study area. The findings are important to understand the long-term evolution of the southwestern flank stream system of Pico de. Community-based physical activity PA programs in Latin America have been recognized because of the use of available environmental resources to offer PA classes.

Yet, the evaluation of programs focused on PA classes involving dancing in public spaces is limited. We used the System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities to evaluate park use gender, age, and physical activity level and target areas. A total of people were observed during observation visits to parks.

Community resources parks, recreational facilities provide opportunities for health promotion, but little is known about how to promote utilization of these resources and their impact on cardiovascular disease risk CVD. Participants were assessed at baseline and following the 4-month intervention. Attendance records were objectively collected to assess utilization of intervention programing. A total of five consecutive cohorts were recruited between and Participants were mostly females Higher attendance significantly predicted greater improvements.

The baseline to 4-month change for the highest vs. Gran parte de la investigacion acerca de la ensenanza de las ciencias se dedica a estudiar la forma o manera en que los estudiantes visualizan los conceptos cientificos.

The last decade has seen an unprecedented, worldwide acceleration of environmental and climate changes. These processes impact the dynamics of natural systems, which include components associated with human communities such as vector-borne diseases. The dynamics of environmental and climate variables, altered by global change as reported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, affect the distribution of many tropical diseases.

This research investigated the influence of ENSO events on malaria incidence by determining the relationship between climate variations, expressed as warm, cold and neutral phases, and their relation to the number of malaria cases in some north-eastern municipalities of Venezuela Estado Sucre during the period These findings should be taken into account for surveillance and control in the future as they shed light on important indicators that can lead to reduced vulnerability to malaria.

Other lineages found in lower proportions were: Eighteen isolates were orphans. Only 57 isolates were grouped in nine clusters and the SIT X1 showed the highest number of members Despite the important prevalence of four major lineages found and the diversity of strains circulating in the population, we found the presence of one of the largest populations of isolates clustered to the X lineage in a setting from a Latin American country.

Desse modo, comparando seus resultados pode-se estimar o grau de relaxamento desse sistema. El Triunfo, Avandaro and San Isidro. The dimensions of this fracture were 70m length, 20m wide and 5m height, and cause severe wastewater flooding that affected surrounding communities. This area was also impacted by a similar event in and In this study, we assess the social, economic, structural, and physical vulnerability to floods, earthquakes, subsidence, and landslides hazards in the communities of El Triunfo, San Isidro and Avandaro of VCS.

This area is located in soil of the old Chalco Lake, and in recent decades has experienced a large population growth. Due to urban development and the overexploitation of aquifers, the zone is also exposed to subsidence up to 40 cm per year. For these reasons, CC is at present, well above ground level. As a first step, we established the level of exposure of the communities to the four main hazards. We also analyzed the economic and social vulnerability of the area using data collected from a field survey.

From the total family houses in the studied communities, we estimated a minimum sample statistically significant and the households from this sample were selected randomly. We defined five levels of vulnerability: Our results indicate that San Isidro is the community with the highest level of structural vulnerability, as for the physical vulnerability it was found that the homes most affected by flooding are those located close to CC but we did not found a direct relationship between the physical vulnerability and structural vulnerability.

The main hazard to which the zone of study is exposed is flooding because its period of recurrence is about five. The methodology encompasses three main stages of analysis to assess landslide hazards: Stage 1 builds a historic landslide inventory. In the study area, an inventory of more than landslides is created from multi-temporal aerial-photo-interpretation and local field surveys to assess landslide distribution.

All landslides were digitized into a geographic information system GIS , and a spatial geo-database of landslides was constructed from standardized GIS datasets. Stage 2 Calculates the susceptibility for the watershed. During this stage, Multiple Logistic Regression and SINMAP will be evaluated to select the one that provides scientific accuracy, technical accessibility, and applicability.

Stage 3 Estimate the potential total material delivered to the main stream drainage channel by all landslides in the catchment. Detailed geometric measurements of individual landslides visited during the field work will be carried out to obtain the landslide area and volume. These measurements revealed an empirical relationship between area and volume that took the. Voices from the local communities Voces de las comunidades locales. We would have liked to hear more talks about production issues and alternative modes of production, such as the one given about ecotourism activities.

However, the examples and experiences from Sonora and the United States were very useful and interesting. In a subsequent meeting, we would like to hear more about legal and organizational issues and not so much about A wall of this canal collapsed on February 5, due to heavy rains creating the flooding of four surrounding communities. It is important to point out that this area is frequently exposed to floods.

For each critical facility we determined its operational, structural and physical vulnerabilities. For our analysis, we considered the four main natural hazards to which Valle de Chalco is exposed: We considered five levels of vulnerability using a scale from 1 to 5, where values range from very low to very high vulnerability, respectively.

A critical facilities database was generated by collecting general information for three categories: Each facility was evaluated considering its location in relation to identified high-risk areas. Our results indicate that in average, the global vulnerability of all facilities is low, however, there are particular cases in which this global vulnerability is high.

The average operational vulnerability of the three communities is moderate. The global structural vulnerability sum of the structural vulnerability for the four analyzed hazards is moderate. In particular, the structural vulnerability to earthquakes is low, to landslides is very low, to flooding is moderate and to sinking is.

Describes an advanced conversational Spanish language course based on community experiences, multicultural education, and collaborative research taught at the University of Santa Clara in California. The class combined authentic materials with real-life experiences. Puerto Rican roots stem from the ethnic mixture of Indians, Europeans, and Africans. This article describes the advent of each of the groups on the island, the historical and cultural impact each made, and the retention of heritage among Puerto Rican migrants to the U.

Increased atmospheric radioactivity after the accident in Chernobyl was first detected on air filters. Measurements were begun in Valencia on May 2, , with the maximum activity being observed around May , As a consequence of this accident, annual campaigns of measurements on migrating birds several species of aquatic birds and song-thrushes were started. Significant levels of Cs, Cs and Agm were found. It is important to note that Agm is only present in Aythya ferina. Strontium was measured and identified in some specimens, mainly in their bones.

To evaluate anthropometric characteristics and satisfaction with self body image in a group of university students. Body composition was evaluated by anthropometric data and bioimpedance. Satisfaction with body image was self evaluated by a score from 0 to Mean BMI was Satisfaction level was high, with a mean score of 7.

Anthropometric characteristics in the study population were appropriate, as reflected by the high level of satisfaction with their body images. Nevertheless, there is a trend towards a lower self evaluation at greater BMI in women. This trend is not so strong with greater fat mass percent, despite this parameter would represent more exactly the real body image.
