Polylepis forests are one of the most threatened high Andean ecosystems, with 15 species and eight subspecies being categorized as critically endangered, vulnerable or near threatened by IUCN. However, their conservation status is poorly evaluated and could be outdated. As a case study, we evaluated Polylepis flavipila, a species endemic to the Peruvian central Andes, that is categorized as Vulnerable in Peru and is not mentioned in the Global Threatened Species Red List. We used two methods to categorize P. flavipila: (1) a species-level assessment using criteria proposed by IUCN and (2) a population-level assessment of four forests using the more specific criteria proposed by Navarro and collaborators. We recorded 350 relicts of P. flavipila forests as identified from herbariums and other sources. Forest cover was reduced 53% over 45 years as evaluated using satellite images from 1975 ...

RESUMEN Este libro se propone servir de guía de aproximación para analizar, con un enfoque global y visión sistémica, los múltiples problemas que enfrenta la empresa moderna en materia de desarrollo de los recursos humanos, a la vez que presenta ejemplos e ilustraciones de los métodos e instrumentos de uso más común en la gestión de la capacitación. Está dirigido de manera especial a encargados de la capacitación en las empresas medianas y pequeñas, instructores, consultores de recursos humanos y profesionales de organismos de capacitación. La gestión de la capacitación en las organizaciones abarca un conjunto de temas extenso y variado, relacionados con la psicología, la sociología, la economía y la administración; en este libro se privilegia una visión integradora del tema que ofrece una panorámica de las diferentes disciplinas involucradas y sus interrelaciones. ...

Twitter is one of the most popular information source available on the Web. Thus, there exist many studies focused on analyzing the credibility of the shared information. Most proposals use either Twitter API or web scraping to extract the data to perform such analysis. Both extraction techniques have advantages and disadvantages. In this work, we present a study to evaluate their performance and behavior. The motivation for this research comes from the necessity to know ways to extract online information in order to analyze in real-time the credibility of the content posted on the Web. To do so, we develop a framework which offers both alternatives of data extraction and implements a previously proposed credibility model. Our framework is implemented as a Google Chrome extension able to analyze tweets in real-time. Results report that both methods produce identical credibility values, w...

El tirano Pezón de pecho de ceniza, Anairetes alpinus (Carriker, 1933) (Aves, Tyrannidae), es un ave en peligro de extinción y muy especializada que habita los bosques de Polylepis (Rosaceae) de Perú y Bolivia. Aquí, informamos 2 nuevas localidades en el departamento de Junín, en el centro de Perú, donde se detectó en bosques dominados por Polylepis canoi, P. rodolfo-vasquezii y una tercera especie de Polylepis no descrita. Llegamos a la conclusión de que una población residencial es la posibilidad más probable, aunque también debe considerarse la posibilidad de la dispersión de individuos. © Quispe-Melgar et al.

Introduction: Pharmaceutical care improves medication adherence that is why is important that the pharmacist uses instruments to evaluate and improves it through pharmaceutical intervention at pharmaceutical care. Objective: To evaluate the impact of the pharmaceutical intervention in the improvement of the medication adherence of the patients with HIV and AIDS, and to identify the factors that infl uence on medication adherence and which one could be modifi ed by the pharmaceutical intervention during pharmaceutical care. Methods: Pharmacotherapeutic follow-up was realized for 23 months to 52 patients, older than 18 years, with antiretroviral treatment for up to three months, consent informed was obtained from patients. Medication adherence was evaluated with CEAT-HIV (questionnaire to evaluate the adhesion to the antiretroviral treatment) at the beginning and at the end of the study (6...

The Ash-breasted Tit-tyrant, Anairetes alpinus (Carriker, 1933) (Aves, Tyrannidae), is an endangered and highly specialized bird that inhabits the Polylepis forests (Rosaceae) of Peru and Bolivia. Here, we report 2 new localities in the department of Junín, central Peru, where it was detected in forests dominated by Polylepis canoi, P. rodolfo-vasquezii, and a third undescribed Polylepis species. We conclude that a residential population is the more likely possibility although the possibility of dispersal individuals should also be considered. © Quispe-Melgar et al.

Polylepis forests are threatened high Andean ecosystems that harbour unique species of flora and fauna. However, there is little information on the avifauna associated with these forests in the Central Andes of Peru. We evaluated 12 bird communities in the Junín, Lima and Huancavelica departments of Peru and recorded richness-abundance data that were used to perform an analysis of ?- and ?-diversity using Hill numbers. In addition, we built two species matrices (presence-absence data) for three previously identified key bird conservation areas and our study area, first with the species that regularly inhabit the Polylepis forests and second with the species of conservation interest. We found that the Polylepis forests of the Central Andes of Peru have a high diversity of birds. Some of these birds have a strong affinity for Polylepis forests, and another group is typical of the tree lin...

Polylepis (Rosaceae) is the dominant tree genus in High-Andean forest ecosystems. These ecosystems are severely threatened, but little is known about their structure and functioning. We provide the first reports of the dasometric structure and spatial distribution of eight forests of Polylepis canoi, P. flavipila and P. rodolfovasquezii in the Central Peruvian Andes as fundamental information for management and conservation policies. We sampled all individuals ?1 cm of diameter at ground level (DGL) in 20 plots of 10x10 m in each forest, and measured total height (TH) and DGL. Also, we mapped the spatial distribution of the individuals in two plots of 30x30 m (X and Y axes). We found differences in the dasometric structure between forests of the same species, which, in some cases, were associated with climate, soil or elevation variables. However, no well-defined pattern was found. The a...
