This study had the objective to analyze the mental processes in terms of the thinking abilities and the cognitive functions as well as some levels of text processing that distinguish (differentiate) good and poor reader students from High School. The analysis was based on the theories: The Structural Cognitive Modifiability of Reuven Feuerstein and the Text Processing of W. Kintsch and T.A Van Dick. The cognitive demands of solution from each one of the questions of a standardized reading test were analyzed as mentioned before. The following cognitive processes were identified and organized: Classification, Analysis-Synthesis, Logic inference and Hypothetical reasoning.

This study assesses the influence of PM10 on the optical thickness of aerosols in the central Andes of Peru, in addition to analyzing and establishing their circulation patterns from July to October 2017. This particular period is considered herein because the largest biomass burning events are usually recorded during these months. The regional meteorological-chemistry transport model WRF-Chem (version 3.7) was used with the Fire Inventory from NCAR (FINN) fire emissions dataset and aerosol optical depth (AOD) data from the Aerosol Robotic Network monitoring network (AERONET), which has a CIMEL sun photometer located at the Huancayo Observatory, the most important city in the central highlands of Peru. The simulation used a single domain with a grid size of 18 km and 32 vertical levels. Results showed an increase in PM10 concentrations with an increase in the number of fire outbreaks and...

Pulmonary alveolar microlithiasis a rare disease whose main characteristic accumulation of calcium salts within the air cell, this due to the presence of a genetic mutation autosomal recessive. This entity is within the group of diffuse lung diseases and primary diagnosis is a challenge for health professionals. There is no treatment to date, has raised the use of bisphosphonate, steroids and bronchoalveolar lavage without reaching conclusive results. It is preferred to perform the transplant before the development of right ventricular failure for best results. The definitive diagnosis is histopathological. In Peru it has been poorly described this disease as the only report found no definitive histopathological diagnosis. We report a case diagnosed in the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Hipolito Unanue National Hospital in Lima, Peru.
