Alexis Cárdenas Trío, trío de cuerdas (Venezuela)
No full textConcierto celebrado por el trío de cuerdas Alexis Cárdenas trío. Esta agrupación es la concretización de una necesidad que motiva cada día más a los jóvenes músicos latinoamericanos: el reencuentro con las culturas tradicionales. Para Alexis Cárdenas, este reencuentro se presenta como una aventura, a la vez respetuosa de las tradiciones y plena de posibilidades creativas.
La esencia misma de nuestras músicas reside precisamente en lo generoso de su apertura como formas vivas y en renovación constante. Como en tantos otros aspectos de la vida y cultura latinoamericana, el terreno es amplio, y la promesa vasta. De allí el lugar preponderante que ocupa la improvisación en el lenguaje y la concepción musical que estos tres músicos presentan. Su repertorio es un viaje por las músicas latinoamericanas en toda su diversidad: joropos, bambucos choros y tangos aspiran a sintetizar la variedad expresiva que identifica nuestro continente frente al resto del mundo
Single incision laparoscopic appendectomy with surgical-glove port is cost-effective and reliable in complicated acute appendicitis: A casecontrol multicenter study in Colombia
No full textBACKGROUND: The single-port (SPL) and multi-port (MPL) laparoscopic approach are the gold standard of management of acute appendicitis, due to its multiple advantages over open surgery, mainly because of its direct effects on recovery, esthetics and costs of the procedure. However, in third-world countries, the laparoscopic approach is not yet fully reproducible due to the costs of the technique. The surgical-glove port single incision laparoscopic appendectomy (SGP-SILA) has been proposed as a viable option. However, it has never been studied in Colombia. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness and reliability of SGP-SILA in the management of complicated acute appendicitis, compared to traditional MPL approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective case control study was carried out comparing patients undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy by SGP-SILA vs. MPL, evaluating operating costs associated with intraoperative and postoperative variables in two tertiary centers in Bogota, Colombia. The data were analyzed and expressed according to their nature and distribution. RESULTS: 116 patients were included (SGP-SILA: 62 and MPL: 54). The median surgical time for SGP-SILA was 60 min vs. 39 min for MPL. SGP-SILA was shown to cause lower frequency of surgical site infection (4 vs. 8 patients; p = 0.047). It was found a significant correlation between Grade III surgical site infection and surgery time (p = 0.047) in the MPL group; also, with hospital stay (p < 0.001). Also, a lower risk of surgical site infection was found with the SGP-SILA technique (22% vs. 31%). SGP-SILA generated a reduction in both direct and indirect operating costs of approximately 10% (616 USD vs. 683 USD). CONCLUSION: SGP-SILA and MPL are feasible and comparable procedures in the resolution of complicated acute appendicitis. SGP-SILA turns out to be more cost-effective compared to MPL, due to the use of more easily accessible instruments. This may be a reproducible technique in low- and middle-income countries

Geohistorical Data in Conservation Biology: Historical Changes and Natural Range of Variability to Long-term Climate Changes in the Adriatic
No full textUsing ordinations and network analyses, we quantified responses of nearshore mollusk assemblages to climate and sea level changes. We used ~300 samples (~130,000 specimens) from shoreface settings of the Adriatic Basin to compare present-day mollusk assemblages to fossil ones derived from Quaternary sediment cores. The fossiliferous sediments provided a historical archive for measuring long-term term dynamics of mollusk associations in response to climate-driven environmental changes during times when globalization and industrialization were absent or very limited (i.e., prior to the Modern Period). Fossil data indicate that nearshore mollusks assemblages of the last interglacial shifted in their faunal composition during the subsequent ice age, and then reassembled again, with the return of interglacial conditions (Holocene pre-Modern Era). In contrast, the comparison of Holocene vs. modern nearshore assemblages indicates a geologically recent shift in mollusk associations. Contemporary coastal Adriatic mollusk assemblages differ from older fossil assemblages by increased relative abundance of sessile species and presence of non-native taxa. Differences between past and present-day assemblages are particularly notable in lower shoreface settings, with present-day samples showing lower heterogeneity, reduced standardized species richness, and a more simplified trophic network. These recent changes have been likely driven primarily by increasing anthropogenic stressors, including aquaculture, invasive species, and fishing. The resilient response of the mollusk assemblages to long-term environmental changes over the past 125 thousand years highlights the historically unprecedented nature of the ongoing reorganization of Adriatic coastal ecosystems, which are shifting into novel states outside the range of natura
Three methodological strategies to approach the movement in qualitative studies of physical exercise and sport
No full textEn el presente artículo se analizan algunas consideraciones metodológicas para abordar al movimiento en los estudios al ejercicio físico y al deporte desde una perspectiva cualitativa. La mayoría de las actividades de los seres humanos en general y, de los deportistas en particular, no son estáticas, por el contrario, sus cuerpos están en constante movimiento, mas ¿cómo entonces abordar metodológicamente esta dimensión tan básica, elemental y compleja? Para responder a esta pregunta, se reflexionan tres estrategias relevantes. Primero, la importancia de la observación como técnica de recopilación de datos. Segundo, las complejidades de intentar verbalizar movimientos. Por último, se problematiza el movimiento como una experiencia emocional.This article analyzes some methodological considerations for the study of movement in physical exercise and sport from a qualitative perspective. Most of the activities of human beings in general and, of athletes in particular, are not static, on the contrary, their bodies are in constant movement, but how then to methodologically approach this basic, elemental and complex dimension? To answer this question, three relevant strategies are discussed. First, the importance of observation as a data collection technique. Second, the complexities of trying to verbalize movements. Finally, movement is problematized as an emotional experience.Fil: Sossa Rojas, Alexis. Centre for Latin American Research and Documentation. Universidad de Ámsterdam/CEDLA.
