The Glucose-6-phosfate dehydrogenase (G6PD) specific activity was determined in adipose and hepatic tissues 0167 Holtzman, male, adults rats, born and bred at sea level. Of them, 48 were transported by automobile in three hours up to 4 540 m. above sea, and sacrificed in turn at 0,1,2,3,5,15 and 30 days after arrival. The other 19 were grouped in two classes: a control class of rats which never traveled, and another class of rats thal traveled around fer three hours, after which they were sacrificed.As a result, it was shown that the trip without ascenl did not cause any significant variation in adipose and hepatic tissue G6PD specific activity.In animals taken to the high altitude, it was observed a lower specific activity of adipose tissue G6PD than in those remaining at sea level. During the first two days the activity fell sharply, thereafter recovering slowly without actually return...

The present work is a qualitative and explorer study. Its objective is to propose criteria for the evaluation of the writing production of argumentative texts of university students in the first term. Two hypotheses are formulated in this research. The first one, younger students have the cognitive scheme of oral discussion and, therefore they know the act sequence of such communicative event because of their experiences in oral daily practices to convince other ones, but such acts are evidently different from those specialized ones of scientific discourse which are argumentative and written. For that reason, and this is the second hypothesis, it is necessary to activate their previous knowledge about discussion practice in oral dynamics to ensure the success in the production of an argumentative writing with cohesive propositions. The result of this exploratory study is a cognitive ling...

Se estudió el efecto de la hidroclorotiazida sobre la curva de tolerancia de la glucosa, para cuyo efecto se administró diariamente 200 mq, de hidroclorotiazida durante 7 días a 53 sujetos: 10 presuntos normales, 20 con hipertensión esenciaL 7 con nefropatías difusas e insuficiencia renal, 6 nefrópatas sin insuficiencia renal y 10 con diabetes mellitus de moderada intensidad. No se produjo elevación de la glucosa sanguínea basal, en cambio sí hubo un incremento en las curvas de glicemia en todos los grupos a excepción de los nefrópatas. En los pacientes renales sin insuficiencia no se halló una variación importante, pero en los que acusaron retención nitrogenada la curva descendió. Los sujetos normales mostraron una elevación estadísticamente significativa a los 60 y 90 minutos, pero que no llegó a sobrepasar los límites normales. En los pacientes con hipertensión se ...

Analiza la definición estructural de subdesarrollo y los problemas del funcionamiento de la seguridad social y especialmente los seguros sociales obligatorios en los países subdesarrollados. Explica que el subdesarrollo es un proceso histórico autónomo y no una etapa por la que necesariamente tienen que haber pasado las economías que han alcanzado un grado superior de desarrollo; es una economía dualista e híbrida en la que a estructuras económicas preexistentes se yuxtaponen, en extensión y profundidad variable, determinados aspectos de la economía industrial. El subdesarrollo presenta diversas etapas, cada una de las cuales requiere un esfuerzo de teorización adecuado que permita ubicar cada problema dentro de la forma específica y etapa concreta de subdesarrollo en que se encuentra el país en cuestión y lleve a adoptar fórmulas, planteamientos y soluciones acordes con e...

Linguistic corpus annotation is one of the most important phases for solving Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, as these methods are deeply involved with corpus-based techniques. However, meta-data annotation is a highly laborious manual task. A supportive alternative requires the use of computational tools. They are likely to simplify some of these operations, while can be adjusted appropriately to the needs of particular language features at the same time. Therefore, this paper presents ChAnot, a web-based annotation tool developed for Peruvian indigenous and highly agglutinative languages, where Shipibo-Konibo was the case study. This new tool is able to support a diverse set of linguistic annotation tasks, such as word segmentation, POS-tag markup, among others. Also, it includes a suggestion engine based on historic and machine learning models, and a set of statistics about pr...

Despite the importance of maintaining flexible pavements in optimal conditions to guarantee the trafficability and comfort of users, the evaluation of failures in these pavements is usually a slow and costly process.Early detection of these failures is essential to prevent them from escalating and generating higher rehabilitation costs.Furthermore, in some areas of the city of Lima, the lack of government budget and availability for road maintenance further complicates the situation.This article addresses the evaluation of functional failures in flexible pavements, incorporating the use of mobile technology and image processing through the use of the MATLAB tool compared to the conventional method of Pavement Condition Index (PCI) according to ASTM D6433.The implementation of mobile technology together with the processing of photographic images for the evaluation of the PCI of the paveme...

The objective of the present study was to determine serological levels of antibodies against foot and mouth disease (FMD) and brucellosis in mixed herds of alpacas and sheep in four communities of the highland ecorregion of the Apolobamba Protected Area (National Integrated Management Natural Area - ANMIN), La Paz - Bolivia, bordering with Peru. Blood samples of 99 alpacas and 42 sheep of different sex and ages were collected. Plasma samples were tested for the detection of VIA antibodies against FMD virus using the agar gel immunodiffusion test (AGID-VIA) and for the detection of antibodies against smooth strains of Brucella spp. using a plate agglutination test as screening and a competitive ELISA (c-ELISA) as a confirmatory test. The results of the study showed no seropositive reactors for FMD or brucellosis.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar niveles serológicos de anticuerpos contra fiebre aftosa y brucelosis en rebaños mixtos de alpacas y ovejas en cuatro comunidades de la ecorregión serranía en el Área Natural de Manejo Integrado Nacional Apolobamba, La Paz - Bolivia, colindante con Perú. Se colectaron 99 muestras de sangre de alpacas y 42 de ovinos de ambos sexos y edad diversa. Las muestras se procesaron mediante la prueba de inmunodifusión en gel agar para detectar anticuerpos VIA contra el virus de la fiebre aftosa y las pruebas de Aglutinación Rápida en Placa (prueba tamiz) y ELISA de competición (c-ELISA) (prueba confirmativa) para la detección de anticuerpos contra cepas lisas de Brucella sp. No se detectó anticuerpos contra fiebre aftosa o brucelosis.

Natural Language Processing deals with the understanding and generation of texts through computer programs. There are many different functionalities used in this area, but among them there are some functions that are the support of the remaining ones. These methods are related to the core processing of the morphology of the language (such as lemmatization) and automatic identification of the part-of-speech tag. Thereby, this paper describes the implementation of a basic NLP toolkit for a new language, focusing in the features mentioned before, and testing them in an own corpus built for the occasion. The obtained results exceeded the expected results and could be used for more complex tasks such as machine translation.
