The paper of Rusconi, in 1928, on the discovery of two indigenous locations was one of the first archeological researchs in the area surrounding the Matanza River. In the present work we establish the spatial location of the sites mentioned through an intensive literature and geospatial research, which used the topographic surveys of the own Rusconi and the satellites charts of the City of Buenos Aires from the Military Geographic Institute (actually National Geographic Institute) combining them with the gvSIG 1.11.0 program. The results showed that the site listed as location A to the author is in the current South Park Municipal Workers' Union, and the location B, under the Autódromo Oscar Galvez city. ; La publicación de Rusconi, en 1928, sobre el hallazgo de dos paraderos indígenas en Villa Riachuelo constituyó una de las primeras investigaciones realizadas en el área circundante al río Matanza. En el presente trabajo establecemos la ubicación espacial de los sitios mencionados a través de una búsqueda bibliográfica y geoespacial intensiva, en la cual se utilizaron los relevamientos topográficos del propio Rusconi y las cartas satelitales de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires del Instituto Geográfico Militar (actual Instituto Geográfico Nacional) combinándolas con el programa gvSIG 1.11.0. Los resultados demostraron que el sitio mencionado como Paradero A por el autor se encuentra en el actual Parque Sur del Sindicato de Trabajadores Municipales, y el Paradero B, bajo el Autódromo Municipal Oscar Gálvez.
The current article investigates how political violence can increase psychological stress and how it can tear down the social structure of a community. At the same time, we examine how individuals and communities are surprisingly resilient to the on-going conflict. This phenomenon leads us to this research question: How does the exposure to political violence affect people at an individual level? More precisely, this article explores what relationship we can find between political violence and individual mental health by examining the participation these individuals have in a community, and also by studying the attitudes or behaviors they had towards transitional justice and democracy, in a setting of a very long term armed conflict. A theoretical contribution of this project is the integration made between theoretical psychological frameworks and studies in favor of peace. Surveys of 184 individuals reveal certain trends, such as the one that shows that different types of violence are associated to different types of mental health and how these people solve problems. In addition, this article shows that despite the wide-spread actions taken to support democracy and transitional justice, in general, many Colombians are not satisfied with the current, national-level initiatives taken by the government. The results suggest that there is a need to work more deeply with people having mental health problems. The intervention that could be made in this aspect will show a decentralized process more sensitive and accurate to the process of peace the government is looking for in the contexts where these people live. ; El presente artículo explora por un lado que la violencia política tiene el potencial de amenazar el bienestar de los individuos y romper el tejido social, pero por otro lado, que los individuos y comunidades son resilientes frente a ella. De este modo, planteamos la siguiente pregunta de investigación: ¿Cómo las experiencias de violencia política afectan a las personas a nivel personal? Específicamente este artículo explorará las relaciones entre la violencia, salud mental, participación ciudadana, y actitudes hacia la justicia transicional y democracia dentro un contexto de conflicto armado prolongado. Una contribución teórica de este proyecto es la integración de dos marcos teóricos de psicología y estudios de paz. En el pilotaje se realizaron 184 encuestas con individuos, los cuales revelan determinados patrones. Por ejemplo, que diferentes tipos de violencia están relacionados con diferentes problemas de salud mental y maneras de enfrentar situaciones difíciles. El artículo también revela que a pesar del apoyo ciudadano hacia la democracia y la justicia transicional, muchos colombianos no están satisfechos con las iniciativas actuales que se adelantan desde el nivel nacional. Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de desarrollar intervenciones de salud mental y construcción de paz que son más sensibles al contexto y menos centralizadas.
The article reflects on the differences in the way in which, in Argentina since 1983, and in South Africa since 1994, the exit from regimes of Terror was processed and the foundations were laid for "new beginnings" in both political communities. In Argentina, we can say in a very simplified way, the choice was made for Justice - and it is no coincidence that the milestones of this process are legal milestones - starting with the Trial of the Juntas, which in 1985 condemned the main actors of the 1976-1983 dictatorship, continuing with the laws of Full Stop and Due Obedience, the amnesty law of 1990 and the declaration of nullity of these last three laws in 2004. In South Africa, in an equally simplified way, the choice was for the Truth, or more precisely, for an amnesty based on the exposition of the Truth, and it is no coincidence that the Commission that has been carrying out this process since 1995 was given the name of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. ; El artículo reflexiona sobre las diferencias con que, en la Argentina desde 1983, y en Sudáfrica desde 1994, se tramitó la salida de regímenes de Terror y se sentaron los cimientos de los "nuevos comienzos" en una y otra comunidad política. En la Argentina, podemos decir de manera muy simplificada, se optó por la Justicia—y no es casual que los hitos de este proceso sean hitos jurídicos—, empezando por el Juicio a las Juntas, que condenó en 1985 a los principales actores de la Dictadura de 1976-1983, continuando por las leyes de punto final y obediencia debida, por la ley de amnistía de 1990 y por la declaración de nulidad de estas últimas tres leyes en 2004. En Sudáfrica, diremos de modo igualmente simplificado, se optó por la Verdad, más precisamente, por una amnistía asentada en la exposición de la Verdad, y no es casual que la Comisión que desde 1995 llevó adelante ese proceso recibiera el nombre de Comisión de Verdad y Reconciliación.

El objetivo de este estudio fue describir la relación que existe entre la capacidad de agencia de autocuidado y la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud de las personas que tienen dispositivos cardiacos implantables en la ciudad de Bogotá. Este estudio es cuantitativo correlacional, de corte transversal. El Autocuidado se midió con la escala "Capacidad de Agencia de Autocuidado" diseñada por Isemberg, Evers y Otros; y la calidad de vida con el cuestionario de salud SF-36 desarrollado por Ware y Sherbourne, ambos cuentan con validez y confiabilidad para el contexto colombiano. Fueron aplicados a 125 personas, quienes voluntariamente accedieron a participar. Se encontró una relación débil positiva (r=0,34, p 0,01) entre autocuidado y calidad de vida. Existen asociaciones estadísticamente significativas entre las dimensiones. Desde el autocuidado, el bienestar personal, actividad y reposo y promoción del funcionamiento y desarrollo personal, se relacionó con todas las dimensiones de calidad de vida. La promoción del funcionamiento y desarrollo personal es la dimensión que mostró mejor asociación con la calidad de vida, específicamente con el desempeño físico. Análisis adicionales del estudio, determinaron que la calidad de vida se relaciona de manera significativa con el género y el estado civil. Estadísticamente, no existen diferencias significativas entre la calidad de vida y el autocuidado según el tiempo de convivencia con el dispositivo cardiaco y el tipo de terapia. Se reporta un alfa de Cronbach de 0,78 para la escala que mide la Capacidad de Agencia de Autocuidado y 0,93 para el cuestionario de salud SF-36. ; Abstract. The objective of this study was to determine the existing relation between the capacity of self-care agency and the quality of life related to the health of people that have implantable cardiac devices in the city of Bogotá. This quantitative study is co-relational and cross-sectional. Self-care was measured with a scale titled "Self-care Agency Capacity", designed by Isemberg, Evers second version in Spanish; quality of life was measured with the SF-36 Health Questionnaire, developed by Ware y Sherbourne. Both measurements are reliable and valid within the Colombian context. These were applied to 125 people, which volunteered to participate. A weak, positive co-relation was found (r=0.34, p 0.01) between self-care and quality of life. Some statistically significant associations exist between these dimensions. Personal healthcare, physical activity and rest, and promotion regarding personal development and functions have all been related to all the dimensions of quality of life, all derived from self-care. The promotion of personal development and functions is the most co-related dimension in regards to quality of life, especially in terms of physical performance. Additional analysis from the study determined that quality of life has a significant co-relation with gender and civil status. Statistically, there is no significant difference between quality of life and self-care, according to time spent with the cardiac device and the type of therapy. The alfa Chronbach's reliability coefficient was applied to the "Self-care Agency Capacity" scale and a value of 0,78 was obtained, and a value of 0,93 was obtained for SF-36 Health Questionnaire. ; Maestría

La complejidad y aumento progresivo del fenómeno de la coproducción internacional hace importante su estudio desde diferentes puntos de vista y plantea también la necesidad de contar con datos fiables y contrastables que, en ocasiones, son de difícil acceso para los investigadores. Es por ello que este trabajo contempla dos objetivos principales: analizar la situación actual de los sistemas de catalogación de la coproducción cinematográfica e indagar la conveniencia de la creación de una base de datos específica, un sistema de archivo y catalogación singular, para las coproducciones cinematográficas españolas con diferentes países de Latinoamérica y Europa. Este estudio también permitirá realizar un acercamiento, evidentemente sólo introductorio, para entender las circunstancias de producción y circulación internacional de las coproducciones cinematográficas. ; The complexity and gradual increase of the international co-production phenomenon makes its research from different points of views important, and also increases the need to have trustworthy and verifiable data that are sometimes hardly accessible to researchers. The aim of this work contemplates two main aspects: an analysis of the current situation of the cataloging system of film co-production and an inquiry into the appropriateness of the creation of a specific database, a unique archiving and cataloging system, for the Spanish film co-productions with different Latin American and European countries. In addition, the study will allow for an approximation, albeit an introductory one, in order to understand the circumstances of production and international circulation of Spanish film co-productions. ; Este trabajo ha sido realizado con la ayuda de los siguientes proyectos de investigación: "El cine y la televisión en la España de la post-Transición (1979-1992)".

14 pag.- 8 fig.- 5 tab. ; Pseudomonas putida KT2440 has evolved a tightly regulated system for metabolizing glycerol implying a prolonged growth lag-phase. We have learnt that this fact can be avoided by the addition of small amounts of some growth precursors. The addition of 1mM octanoic acid as co-feeder completely eliminated the lag-phase, resulting in an improvement, in terms of invested time, of both growth and polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) accumulation. To investigate this phenomenon, we have followed co-metabolic approaches combined with mutations of the specific and global regulatory networks that connect glycerol catabolism and PHA synthesis. By using mutant strains in metabolic genes from the PHA and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycles, we have demonstrated that the co-feeding effect is independent of PHA accumulation, but driven on active glyoxylate shunt and Entner-Doudoroff (ED) routes. These findings suggested that the effect of octanoate on glycerol metabolism could rely, either on a global activation of the cell energy state, or on the generation of specific metabolites or cofactors needed for the activation of glycerol metabolism. Our results addressed GlpR as the key factor controlling the efficient utilization of glycerol as growth precursor in P.putida KT2440. Accordingly, a glpR knockout mutant of P.putida KT2440 showed an elimination of the lag-phase when cultured on glycerol in the absence of co-feeder. Besides, the production of PHA in this strain was increased near twofold, resulting in a higher final yield in terms of PHA accumulation. The repressor activity of the GlpR protein over the glp genes in the absence of glycerol was finally demonstrated by qRT-PCR. This work contributed to unravel the physiological causes of the long lag-phase produced by glycerol in the model strain P.putida KT2440 that hinders its use as carbon source in biotechnological applications for generating valuable products. ; This work was supported by 597 grants from the Comisión Interministerial de Ciencia y Tecnología and CSIC598 (BIO2010-21049 and 201120E092), and by the European Union Grant (NMP2-CT-599 2007-026515).

El Instituto de Investigaciones de la Amazonía Peruana – IIAP, Nature and Culture International (NCI) junto con comunidades locales, el Gobierno Regional de Loreto y otras organizaciones privadas, han estado desarrollando en la última década un modelo de cogestión comunitaria de la biodiversidad amazónica, con resultados muy promisorios. En el presente trabajo se analizan los principales logros de este modelo. En las tres cuencas donde se ejecutaron estos proyectos (Tahuayo, Yanayacu del Amazonas y Nanay) observamos la reversión de los procesos de degradación de recursos y eco sistemas, la reducción significativa de la tala, pesca y caza ilegales, y de la cosecha destructiva de recursos; también han mejorado significativamente algunos indicadores económicos de las poblaciones locales involucradas gracias a la comercialización de productos con valor agregado y la recuperación de las pesquerías, la fauna silvestre y otros recursos. Las líneas maestras de este enfoque fueron: (1) conservación productiva (conservación como negocio, esto es, recuperar recursos de flora y fauna silvestres y conservarlos productivamente para la gente, generando ingresos); (2) manejo adaptativo (medidas sencillas de manejo diseñadas y adoptadas progresivamente por las propias comunidades con apoyo de los técnicos, siguiendo el modelo de investigación participativa); (3) enfoque ecosistémico (conservación de grandes paisajes, especialmente cuencas y ecosistemas completos, incluyendo procesos ecológicos priorizados, como migraciones estacionales de peces, y conservación de áreas fuente); (4) uso y rentabilización del bosque en pie (priorizar generación de ingresos de recursos silvestres manejados vs. cambio de uso del bosque); (5) participación de todos los actores, desde las comunidades locales organizadas debidamente consultadas hasta las empresas privadas, las instituciones públicas y los tomadores de decisión; (6) desarrollo de cadenas productivas completas, con agregación de valor a productos de la biodiversidad y articulación al mercado; (7) gestión adaptativa (decisiones tomadas localmente, y adecuación progresiva de las instituciones y normas de acuerdo a las capacidades de las comunidades). ; For the past 10 years, the Instituto de Investigaciones de la Amazonía Peruana (Peruvian Amazon Research Institute) - IIAP, Nature and Culture International (NCI), together with local communities, the Regional Government of Loreto, and other private organizations, have been developing a community co-management model for the Amazonian biodiversity, with very promising results. In the three basins where such co-management projects were implemented (Tahuayo, Yanayacu and Nanay), we are seeing a concrete evidence of reversals in the processes of degradation of resources and ecosystems. In each of these basins, a significant reduction in logging, illegal fishing and hunting, and destructive harvesting methods of resources can be found as a directresult of the co-management model. Significant economic improvements to local communities are achieved mainly due to the commercialization of value-added biodiversity products, as well as the recovery of fisheries, wildlife and other resources. The main principles of this model are : (1) productive conservation (conservation as a business, that is to recover flora and fauna resources and their management in ways that allow income generation); (2) adaptive management (simple management actions designed and progressively adopted by the communities and accompanied with technical support); (3) eco-systemic approach (conservation of large landscapes, especially watersheds, prioritized ecological processes such as fish's seasonal migrations, and conservation of source areas); (4) making use of standing forest (to prioritize revenues from sustainable use of forest vs. cutting down the forest); (5) participation of all stakeholders from the organized and properly consulted local communities, to private enterprises, public institutions and all decision-makers; (6) development of complete productive chains with value-added biodiversity products and insertion in markets; (7) adaptive management (progressive adjustment of institutions and norms according to communities' capacities).

This paper aims to be a comprehensive and analytic overview of the development of Venezuelan theater in the first decade of the 21st century. We intend to analyze the co-relations present in Venezuelan theatre produced in Caracas from 2000 to 2010, and if the latter is in any manner a reaction to the political process established in the country in that decade, based on the dramaturgy written and staged in Caracas (main cultural center of the country), and the theatrical activity. It will also be our purpose to study cultural policies for theatre set forth by the revolution. ; Este estudio, pretende ser una revisión panorámica y analítica del desarrollo del teatro venezolano en la primera década del siglo XXI. Nos proponemos analizar qué co-relaciones existen entre el teatro venezolano producido en Caracas desde 2000 hasta 2010 y si éste responde o no al proceso político implantado en el país durante esa década, a partir del estudio de la dramaturgia escrita y estrenada en Caracas (principal centro cultural del país) y de la práctica teatral, así como el análisis de las políticas culturales para el teatro propuestas por la revolución.
