The work aims at designing and implementing a demonstrative pilot plant to treat landfill leachate to: i. Encourage of the use the constructed wetlands for water quality improvement ii. To improve technical training programs in constructed wetlands iii. To cooperate with local authorities to promote the use of constructed wetlands to treat landfill leachate in areas with particular natural and cultural interests in Perú. To achieve these objectives, we have design and implemented a program to strengthen human capacity in the design, operation, monitoring and maintenance of constructed wetlands. Universidad Nacional Agricola la Molina (UNALM) has provided infrastructure, equipment, and library facilities to develop programs that include training, research, innovation and public awareness. The program for science is strengthening to improve the education, promote researchers, and encourage mobility of technical staff and students within the doctoral program at the UNESCO Chair of the UPC. The project also includes the production of training manuals as well as web tool for teaching, training, and dissemination. The program also includes the education of Environmental promoters that will train high school students on issues related to wastewater in schools. Has built a prototype artificial wetland and ecological toilet module. The prototype is fully operational and is expected to be a model for local actors. Moreover, it is expected that this work will contribute to local governments to implement strategies to improve water quality through constructed wetlands, and promote the use of artificial wetlands in isolated communities, increasing the quality of the environment and reduce the impact on human health. ; Postprint (published version)

AbstractMalignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction warranting decompressive craniectomy (DC) is unusual in the population younger than 40 years. Specifically, only a few cases affecting pregnant women have been described in the literature. We present the case of a 39-year-old woman in the 24th week of pregnancy who suffered a right malignant MCA infarction that eventually required DC. The patient delivered a healthy baby and underwent a second surgery for cranioplasty 7 months later. We present both this case and a review of the literature, including all cases of DC in pregnant women published to date.
