Estados Unidos y la guerra por el desarrollo: el control de la natalidad en Chile, 1960-1970

Abstract: Bajo el paradigma de modernizacion y desarrollo norteamericano -y en un contexto de Guerra Fria-, durante la decada de 1960 se adecuaron a la realidad chilena programas de control de natalidad que no solo buscaron disminuir las altas tasas de mortalidad materno infantil, sino que ademas respondieron al proyecto de seguridad hemisferica norteamericana de contencion a posibles revoluciones populares en paises del Tercer Mundo.

Traducción legal del inglés al español en el aula: problemas de traducción de las fórmulas fraseológicas y léxicas

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to identify problems when translating standard formulas of expression in English to Spanish legal translation. To achieve the goal, a total of 250 Spanish translations were analyzed of 10 sentences from legal texts in English. The degree of difficulty posed by the translation of these formulas is confirmed by the results obtained, which is related not so much to the intrinsic meaning of the words that compose them, but to their contextual meaning. An eclectic approach that combines discourse analysis with contrastive linguistics is proposed, and some specific didactic guidelines are indicated to facilitate the translation teaching of these standard formulas of expression. Lexical interpretation and contextual recreation allow the apprentice translator to make progress with the translation of these phrases and to improve his/her attitude when facing them to achieve a successful semantic and contextual interpretation, that is to say, getting the closest natural equivalent while respecting the genius of the language.

Obtención de carbones activados a partir de semillas de eucalipto, por activación química con H3PO4. Caracterización y evaluación de la capacidad de absorción de fenol desde solución acuosa

Abstract: Activated carbons were prepared from shell Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus Labil) by chemical activation using as activating agent solutions of phosphoric acid, at two different concentrations; 30 and 80% v/v. Carbons were texturally characterized by N2 physisorption, the apparent surface area was determined by B.E.T., method, values obtained were 2009 and 1027 m2 g-1. Dubinin-Radushkevich equation was used to obtain the micropore volume with values of 0.65 and 0.32 cm3 g-1. Boehm method established that the carbons are acidic aspect confirmed by determining the point of zero charge. Solid energetic interactions against HCl and NaOH solutions were established by immersion calorimetry finding great correlation with the content of acidic and basic groups of the solids. Finally, the adsorption capacity of the solid was evaluated with phenol from aqueous solution since this is a priority pollutant, where high adsorption capacity of the two carbons was evident due to the large surface area, micropore volume and surface chemistry of solids.

Desarrollo de un modelo computacional para la evaluación mecánica y funcional de la articulación trapecio metacarpiana

Abstract: Se desarrollo un modelo computacional del pulgar con el fin de evaluar los esfuerzos y deformaciones a los que se en¬cuentra sometida la articulacion trapecio metacarpiana. Utilizando tomografias axiales computarizadas se rea¬lizo la reconstruccion de la geometria 3D del pulgar, y con base en un analisis anatomico y funcional se genero un modelo computacional para simular el comportamiento de la articulacion bajo condiciones normales de servi¬cio. Del analisis del modelo por el metodo de elementos finitos, se obtuvieron las fuerzas musculares y la distribucion de esfuerzos, para condiciones normales de funcionamiento y en posiciones anatomicas especificas de agarre.

Intervenciones psicológicas eficaces en pacientes con cáncer de mama en Latinoamérica y España: una revisión sistemática

Abstract: Objective: The aim of this systematic review was to identify the evidence available in the Latin America and Spain scientific literature about the effective psychological intervention for breast cancer, between 2006 and 2016. Method: The databases included were BVS and PsycNetAPA, using the following descriptors: breast cancer, psychological interventions, psychooncology, and psychotherapy, in English and Spanish. The search was also done in Google Academics with the descriptors: “Cancer de mama and intervenciones psicologicas”, in Spanish. Results: Only 17 articles were found that met our inclusion criteria and showed the evidence of psychological intervention for breast cancer patient in Latin America and Spain between 2006 and 2016. The theoretical model most frequently applied was CBT, followed by other types of psychosocial intervention. Nevertheless, other novel models to these population were also found. Limits in the methodology of these investigation were identified, which hinders the generalization of results. Conclusions: More research with according methodology design to prove the efficacy of a psychological intervention for breast cancer patient, is very much needed in Latin America and Spain.

Estrategias argumentativas filonianas en De aeternitate y De providentia

Abstract: This paper discusses a Stoic argument on the problem of individual identity (recorded by Philo in De aeternitate, 47-51) and some arguments put forward by Philo in favor of the existence of providence in the world (such as they can be found in De providentia, 1-4; 6-10; 11; 13; 16; 18-21; 35, 37; 47). This study intends to show both that Philo takes from Greek philosophers (mainly from Plato and the Stoics) several of the arguments he discusses and that he also incorporates them into his own approach and for his general discussion in the above mentioned treatises. In the final section of the paper an attempt is made to elucidate the argumentative strategies Philo makes use of.
