Arsenic-contaminated drinking water and cholangiocarcinoma
No full textIntroduction: Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is an aggressive tumor occurring in bile ducts and associated with dismal outcomes. It can be classified according to anatomical location as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) or extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ECC). Although some risk factors have been identified, our understanding of these tumors remains limited. Arsenic (As) is a prevalent toxicant with established associations with bladder, skin and lung cancers while pilot data on its potential carcinogenic role on digestive tumors are emerging. This ecological study aimed to investigate the association between exposure to As-contaminated drinking water and CCA. Methods: Analyses were conducted for the US, Taiwan and India due to the quality of publicly available datasets including small area-level information. Statistics included coefficient correlations analyses as well as univariate and multivariate linear regressions. Results: In the US, no correlation was observed between As and CCA. In Taiwan, correlations were identified for ICC in men (Spearman = 0.55, P = 0.01) and women (Spearman = 0.67, P < 0.01), as well as for ECC in men (Spearman = 0.62, P < 0.01). In India, counties with As level of at least 50 μg/L showed higher incidences of ECC in men (R2 = 0.26, P = 0.01) and women (R2 = 0.31, P < 0.01). Conclusion: These findings highlighted a potential carcinogenic impact of As in drinking water on bile duct cancers, paving the way for future studies aiming to replicate this association with individual data as well as its clinical and ecological implications

Jen Delos Reyes
No full textProjects in this collection: Open Engagement
From http://www.jendelosreyes.com/about: Jen Delos Reyes was born in the city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, and educated first in its local music scene of the mid-90’s infused with the energy of Riot grrrl and DIY, and then in its university. [1] How she works today is rooted in what she learned in her formative years as a show organizer, listener, creator of zines, and band member. Graduate work at the University of Regina made the space possible for her to see her work as an organizer as a key component of her continued creative work.
Jen Delos Reyes is a \u27farmer of sorts and an artist of sorts\u27[2], educator, writer, and radical community arts organizer. She is defiantly optimistic, a friend to all birds, and proponent that our institutions can become tender and vulnerable. Her practice is as much about working with institutions as it is about creating and supporting sustainable artist-led culture.
Delos Reyes worked within Portland State University from 2008-2014 to create the first flexible residency Art and Social Practice MFA program in the United States and devised the curriculum that focused on place, engagement, and dialogue. The flexible residency program allowed for artists embedded in their communities to remain on site throughout their course of study.
She worked with the Portland Art Museum from 2009-14 on a series of programs and integrated systems that allowed artists to rethink what can happen in a museum, and reinvigorate the idea of the museum as a public space.
From 2015-2022 Delos Reyes was the Associate Director of the School of Art & Art History of the University of Illinois, Chicago’s only public research university, where she taught in the departments of Art and Museum and Exhibition Studies.
She was the Director and founder of Open Engagement, an international annual conference on socially engaged art that was active between 2007-2019 and hosted ten conferences in two countries at locations including the Queens Museum in New York. After over a decade of large scale organizing she is now focused on work on the scale of her life.
She is the author of I’m Going to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song: How Artists Make and Live Lives of Meaning, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Public Engagement But Were Afraid to Ask, and Defiantly Optimistic: Turning Up in a World on Fire.
Delos Reyes divides her time between Chicago, IL where she is the founder of Garbage Hill Farm, and Ithaca, NY where she is an Associate Professor of Art at Cornell University.

Los Reyes: Estado de México
No full textLa información de esta miniguía se basa en la información de Richard Edward Blanton, William Sanders, Jeffrey R. Parsons, Robert Santley y el autor.Como antecedente del sitio de Los Reyes existió un asentamiento durante la fase Coyotlatelco (600 - 800 d.C.), 500 m al oriente de la actual zona arqueológica. Al surgir Tula como centro hegemónico del altiplano (alrededor del año 800 d.C.), muchos de los asentamientos de la fase Coyotlatelco fueron abandonados y la población se reubicó en sitios nuevos como Los Reyes. Los gobernantes toltecas diseñaron un sistema de sitios con diferentes funciones y algunos debieron operar como puntos de recaudación de tributo, el cual fluía hacia la ciudad de Tula. En este gradiente donde Tula era la capital, se ha encontrado que existían diferentes tamaños de aldeas. Los Reyes era un sitio intermedio, es decir, tenía un pequeño templo alrededor del cual se organizaba el culto y la vida pública. Rodeando a éste se encontraba el asentamiento, el cual debió contar con algunos cientos de habitantes.</p
Alfonso Reyes. Su itinerario y deslinde filosófico
No full textEsta investigación estudia el propósito filosófico de El Deslinde, texto importante que desarrolló Alfonso Reyes en sus días de madurez, orientándose más hacia la filosofía en lugar de la literatura. El autor del artículo presenta la hipótesis de que Reyes escribió El Deslinde como una propuesta filosófica a pesar de que no fue aceptado y cabalmente entendido. Sin embargo, Aspe se analiza sus argumentos filosóficos demostrando su importancia y su anticipación a la filosofía postmoderna. //// This investigation studies the philosophical aim of El Deslinde, important text that developed Alfonso Reyes in his mature days, when he tried to move towards philosophy instead of literature.
