Objetivo: Evaluar la alimentación, hidratación, las prácticas de suplementación y su asociación con la composición corporal en jugadores de 1a división de la ciudad de Córdoba en el año 2017. Población, material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo-correlacional. Población: jugadores de básquetbol de 1a división de la ciudad de Córdoba. Muestra: 27 jugadores, 11 pertenecientes a Atenas y 16 al Club Universitario. Se tomaron medidas antropométricas según el protocolo de la ISAK, datos socio-demográficos y sobre consumo de suplementos. Se utilizó un registro de 72 horas para evaluar la ingesta alimentaria nutricional. Resultados: La ingesta energética promedio con suplementación (CS) fue 3389 ± 851 kcal/día. La ingesta de macronutrientes CS (g/kg/día) según las recomendaciones fue baja en HC, alta en PRO y adecuada en GR. La suplementación aumentó el consumo promedio de vitamina C, sodio y potasio. Según las GAPA, predomina un consumo inadecuado en los grupos: verduras; carnes y huevos; aceites frutos secos y semillas; y alimentos de consumo opcional. El consumo promedio de fluidos fue 2,2 ± 0,6 L/día. En el consumo de suplementos deportivos se destacó el consumo de alimentos deportivos (85%). En el fraccionamiento en 5 componentes sólo se encontraron diferencias significativas según posición de juego en valores absolutos (kg) de masa grasa, piel y masa residual. Conclusión: La ingesta alimentaria nutricional y la composición corporal de estos jugadores son aspectos a mejorar. Por ello, sería fundamental el asesoramiento del Lic. en Nutrición especializado en Nutrición Deportiva para el logro de un óptimo rendimiento deportivo y estado de salud.Fil: Ferrando, Agustina.

Data for: The non-democratic roots of mass education: Evidence from 200 years
No full textThis is an Annotation for Transparent Inquiry (ATI) data project. The annotated article can be viewed on the publisher's website.
Project Summary
This project assesses the impact of democratization on primary school enrollment rates using quantitative data from 1820 to 2010 to estimate difference-in-differences and interrupted time series models of the impact of democratization. It finds that, on average, there is little evidence to support the claim that democratization led to the expansion of primary schooling. The study then unpacks this average result to explain what lies behind the null effect. It finds that democracy can lead to the expansion of primary schooling, but the key condition under which it does—when a majority of the population lacked access to primary schooling before democratization—rarely holds. Indeed, the study documents that, among countries that experienced democratization, the average primary school enrollment rate was already 70% before transitioning to democracy. Although the project does not seek to provide a conclusive answer to why there was so much provision of primary education under non-democracies, the section titled “Primary School Systems Under Non-Democracies” explores several possible answers to help readers entertain the possibility that the provision of primary education may have been high under non-democracies—because this is a counterintuitive finding given the previous literature in political science and economics. With that modest goal in mind, this section surveys existing research in history, sociology, political science, and economics to parse out four common arguments for the provision of primary schooling under non-democratic regimes; provides exploratory quantitative tests for these arguments; and, using online annotations, provides qualitative evidence that illustrates these arguments.
Data Generation and Analysis
The gathering of qualitative evidence focused on either the founding period of primary education systems or the period of fastest expansion of primary schooling in six non-democratic regimes chosen to have variation across space and over time: Prussia (1750s and 1760s), France (1830s), Chile (1860s), Argentina (1880s), USSR (1930s), and China (1950s). For each case, the author gathered primary and secondary sources in English, Spanish, or French that provided evidence about the rationales used by non-democratic regimes to expand access to primary education. On average five sources per country were analyzed, including: speech transcripts by presidents, ministers of education, and congressmen from parliamentary debates; newspaper and magazines articles, letters, books, memoirs, and other documents written by politicians who participated in education debates; reports written by official government missions from foreign countries that traveled to learn about the selected education systems; official education laws and regulations; books and PhD dissertations specializing on the history of education of these cases. All sources analyzed were obtained from Stanford Libraries, UCSD Libraries, HathiTrust, the Biblioteca Nacional del Maestro in Argentina, or the Biblioteca Nacional de Chile. Language limitations implied a greater ability to consult primary sources from Argentina, Chile, and France than from Prussia, the USSR, and China, where reliance on secondary sources was greater.
For each source, the author extracted citations that provided evidence of the rationales espoused by non-democratic regimes to provide primary education. Each citation was classified using a common coding scheme based on the type of argument being made for the provision of primary education: molding political values and behaviors, industrialization, military strength, promoting the social mobility of the lower classes, responding to parental demand, staying in vogue with global ideas, or other reasons. A set of 45 citations (out of 150) were identified as “strong” evidence for three types of common arguments for primary education provision under non-democratic regimes: molding political values and behaviors, industrialization, and military strength. The other theorized arguments appeared less often and either lacked strong evidence in the sampled sources (staying in vogue with global ideas, promoting social mobility) or had strong evidence against them (responding to parental demand).
Logic of Annotation
Online annotations were used to illustrate those arguments for which strong qualitative evidence was found. The citations included in the annotations were chosen so as to provide as clear an illustration of a theoretical argument as possible within a relatively short amount of space (i.e., without requiring readers to read an entire book or parliamentary debate transcript). Analytic notes were used in almost all annotations to offer additional context about a source and its author, and to specify the interpretations made from a citation or set of citations.</p
An analysis of the importance of taxonomic level in the assessment of annelid communities in a Mexican lagoon
No full textAssessing taxonomic sufficiency (TS) is useful for developing rapid and reliable procedures in marine impact assessment and monitoring. The coastal lagoon Estero de Urías has been subjected to the effects of several anthropogenic activities (shrimp farms, a thermoelectric plant, a slaughterhouse, a fish processing factory, a harbor, and urban sewage) for several decades, thus it is a candidate for TS application. The characterization of this lagoon through the study of soft-bottom annelids has identified zones subjected to different degrees of organic pollution, which lead to the need for monitoring. TS involves the identification of taxa to higher taxonomic levels than species (e.g., genus or family) without losing statistically relevant information. This study investigated the degree to which reduced taxonomy can be used to detect anthropogenic effects in a lagoon through the analyses of published and unpublished data of polychaetes and oligochaetes. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) ordinations, pairwise Spearman correlation tests, “second-stage” MDS ordination, analysis of similarity (ANOSIM), and BIO-ENV analyses revealed that, in general, results obtained at species, genus, and family levels followed similar patterns. Analyses performed at the genus and family levels were as effective as those performed at the species level and followed similar trends to those found in previous studies. Therefore, further analyses using family-level data are recommended for monitoring and characterization of this tropical coastal lagoon.Fil: Méndez, Nuria.

Efectos de la contaminación orgánica sobre la distribución de las comunidades de anélidos en la laguna costera "estero de urías"(Mexico)
No full textLa laguna costera “Estero de Urías” se encuentra sujeta al efecto de varias actividades antropogénicas y ha sido caracterizada desde 1997 a través del estudio de la fauna bentónica. Con el fin de conocer el grado de perturbación actual, se analizó la distribución espacial y temporal de los anélidos, así como su relación con las variables ambientales (profundidad, tamaño de grano, materia orgánica y temperatura del sedimento). Los valores de densidad, riqueza específica, diversidad, dominancia, biomasa y la aplicación de técnicas de clasificación y ordenación permitieron distinguir cinco zonas: 1) zona no perturbada, en la boca de la laguna; 2) zona ligeramente perturbada, bordeada por manglares y granjas camaronícolas; 3) zona temporalmente perturbada, cerca del efluente de la planta termoeléctrica; 4) zona perturbada, frente al matadero y la fábrica procesadora de pescado; 5) zona muy perturbada, sujeta al efecto de los desechos domésticos e industriales. La comparación con los datos previos registrados para la misma zona indica que la laguna ha sufrido sólo cambios ligeros en la granulometría y en la composición faunística. Esto sugiere que la laguna aún se encuentra perturbada debido al efecto que producen las actividades antropogénicas.The Estero de Urías coastal lagoon is subjected to several anthropogenic activities and has been characterized since 1997 through the study of benthic fauna. We analyzed the spatial and temporal distribution of annelids and their relationships with environmental variables (depth, sediment temperature, grain size and organic matter) in order to determine the current degree of perturbation. Density, species richness, diversity, dominance, biomass, and the application of classification and ordination techniques allowed us to distinguish 5 zones: 1) a non-perturbed zone at the mouth of the lagoon, 2) a slightly perturbed zone surrounded by mangroves and shrimp farms, 3) a temporarily perturbed zone close to the effluent of the thermoelectric plant, 4) a perturbed zone in front of the slaughterhouse and fish factory, and 5) a very perturbed zone subjected to sewage and industrial input. Only minor changes in granulometry and faunal composition were observed in comparison with previous data from the same area, suggesting that the lagoon is still perturbed due to the effect of anthropogenic activities.Fil: Ferrando, Agustina.

Caracterización de los ensambles de poliquetos asociados a diferentes parámetros físico-químicos (golfo Nuevo, Patagonia)
No full textLos organismos bentónicos de la zona intermareal coexisten en un delicado equilibrio y constituyen un eslabón trófico fundamental para las aves y otros organismos marinos. Factores extrínsecos de origen antrópico como el aporte de contaminantes orgánicos de tributilestaño (TBTs), pueden afectar la actividad de bioturbación y estructura de la comunidad macrobentónica e indirectamente a sus predadores. La respuesta de los diferentes organismos del macrobentos ante la presencia de TBTs en los sedimentos es relevante considerando su rol en la columna sedimentaria y en los procesos de degradación de los compuestos orgánicos. El golfo Nuevo (GN) posee características particulares desde el punto de vista de la conservación de la zona costera patagónica debido a que una importante superficie del mismo integra la Reserva Natural Protegida Península Valdés (declarada “Patrimonio Natural de la Humanidad” por la UNESCO en 1999). Estudios previos en el GN, han informado la presencia de sitios contaminados con TBTs y sus derivados Dibutilestaño (DBT) y Monobutilestaño (MBT) en concentraciones variables así como imposex en gasterópodos, dependiendo de su exposición al tráfico marítimo. En este contexto, el objetivo de este proyecto, de carácter interdisciplinario, fue realizar un estudio experimental en condiciones ex situ a fin de evaluar la respuesta de la comunidad macrobentónica a la exposición al TBT, y la distribución y tasa de degradación de este contaminante antrópico en la columna sedimentaria. Se colectaron sedimentos en un sitio contaminado crónicamente con TBT y en otro sin signos de impacto antrópico, localizados en la zona costera del GN. En los sitios de estudio se registró una respuesta diferente de los organismos, y una distribución y biodegradación diferencial de los TBTs en la columna sedimentaria. Un aporte valioso de este proyecto fue que la experimentación ecotoxicológica se realizó ex situ, manteniendo condiciones similares al ambiente natural, a fin de no contaminar los sitios en evaluación. La generación de conocimiento científico interdisciplinario contribuye a la implementación del manejo sustentable de los recursos marinos.Fil: Ferrando, Agustina.

Introduction to Everyday Streets
No full textEveryday streets are both the most used and the most undervalued of cities’ public spaces. They constitute the inclusive backbone of urban life – the chief civic amenity – though they are challenged by optimisation processes. Everyday streets are as profuse, rich and complex as the people who use them; they are places of social aggregation, bringing together those belonging to different classes, genders, ages, ethnicities and nationalities. They comprise not just the familiar outdoor spaces that we use to move and interact and the facades that are commonly viewed as their primary component but also urban blocks, interiors, depths...Urban Desig
É A PAULA QUE ESTÁ A DIZER ISTO OU SOU EU?: AS MENINAS, DE AGUSTINA BESSA-LUÍS & PAULA REGO
No full textEste trabalho analisa a obra As meninas (2001), álbum de pinturas de Paula Rego e texto de Agustina Bessa-Luís. Embora imagens e texto formem um todo, é sobre o texto que a análise incide. No conjunto da obra de Agustina, esse trabalho se insere em duas categorias: a das biografias e a das obras iconográficas (fotografias, pinturas) comentadas, interpretadas ou acompanhadas de palavras da autora. É como registo biográfico peculiar que o texto vai interessar, pois as pinturas da série As meninas são lidas como índices de certos biografemas de Paula Rego e comparados com autobiografemas.IS IT PAULA WHO IS SAYING SO, OR MYSELF?: AGUSTINA BESSA-LUÍS & PAULA REGO’S AS MENINASThis paper analyses As Meninas (2001), a collection of paintings by PaulaRego with a text by Agustina Bessa-Luís. Although the text and the paintings form a whole, the analysis will be focused on the text. This text can be placed into two different categories of Agustina\u27s work: that of biographies and that of iconographic works commented upon orillustrated by the author (photographies, paintings). The text is interesting when analysed from biographical point of view, as the paitings of the As meninas series can be analysed as discreet elements of Paula Rego\u27s biography and compared to discreet elements of Agustina Bessa-Luís´ autobiography.
