La biografía de Manuela Cambronero
No full textManuela Cambronero’s biography has been a pending issue until now, given that her figure has not aroused interest and no studies which focus on clarifying her origins and chronology have been published. This information is essential as a starting point for any work on the author, which is why elucidating these unknowns through direct archive research is a sine qua non. Consequently, locating Manuela Cambronero’s baptismal, marriage and death certificates is the only reliable way to dispel any doubt about her provenance and to determine the exact places and dates of the trans-cendental events of her life.La biografía de Manuela Cambronero ha sido una cuestión pendiente hasta ahora, pues, como su figura no ha suscitado interés, no se han publicado estudios centrados en esclarecer su origen y su cronología.

Manuela Sáenz en varios textos
No full textThis report is an attempt to analyze the narrative discourse order in the novel “La esposa del Dr. Thorne” (Dr. Thorne’s Wife) of the Venezuelan writer Denzil Romero, in the light of ¨Las cuatro estaciones de Manuela” (“The Four Seasons of Manuela”) of the American author Víctor W. von Hagen, and of “Manuela. Sus diarios perdidos y otros papeles”, (Manuela. Lost Diaries and Other Papers) of the Ecuadorian Carlos Álvarez Saá. This paper is a risky comparison between a book of fiction, presumably based on real facts, where Manuela’s eroticism is the central theme in Romero, the large literary chronicles issued by von Hagen and the compilation and discovery of alleged original and historic texts (letters and diaries) produced by Álvarez Saá. It is also a research exercise where, whimsically, what the official discourse says, as it may be viewed by the school of Venezuela or that of Quito, is mixed with the fictionalization of that discourse. It is, too, a possible vindication of Manuela Sáenz as a person and/or predominant character in the fights for the independence of America beyond her ¨circumstantial¨ relationship with Simón Bolívar. It is, to a certain extent, a look into how literary texts and the perceptions of history about a character (Manuela) tend to a “rearrangement” in present times and how there has been an attempt to consolidate the figure of Manuela Sáenz as a heroine, awarding a victory to what von Hagen calls “the school of Quito”.Si prese l’analisi dell’ordine discorsivo narrativo del romanzo dell’autore venezuelano Denzil Romero, La sposa del Dott.re Thorne, attraverso le comparazioni delle opere dell’autore statunitense Víctor W. Von Hagen, Le quattro stagioni di Manuela e dell’ autore ecuadoregno Carlos Álvarez Saá, Manuela, i suoi diari persi ed altre carte. È una comparazione azzardadata tra un libro di finzione, forse basato in fatti reali, dove l’erotismo della donna (Manuela) costituisce la tematica centrale, nell’opera di Romero, con la lunga cronaca letteraria che fa von Hagen e la compilazione e la scoperta di supposti testi originali e storici (lettere, diari) che fa Álvarez Saá. È un esercizio di ricerca dove si mescolano, in modo capriccioso, il campo d’attività del Venezuela o quello del Quito, e la finzione di quello ufficiale. È anche la rivendicazione possibile di Manuela Sáenz come persona e/o personaggio preponderante nelle lotte indipendentistiche dell’America che era aldilà della relazione congiunturale con Simón Bolívar. Si vuole vedere, fino a un certo punto, come i testi letterari e le percezioni della storia su un personaggio (Manuela) tendono a sistemarsi con i tempi attuali e come si ha voluto affiancare la figura eroica di Manuela Sáenz, concedendole il trionfo, forse secondo la tesi di von Hagen: quella che lui definisce la scuola di Quito.Se pretendeu analisar a ordem discursivo-narrativa do romance do venezuelano Denzil Romero, “La esposa del Dr. Thorne”, à luz das obras do americano Víctor W. von Hagen, ¨Las cuatro estaciones de Manuela” e do equatoriano Carlos Álvarez Saá, “Los diários perdidos de Manuela Sáenz y otros papeles”. Este trabalho é a comparação arriscada entre um livro de ficção, baseado aparentemente em fatos reais, no qual o erotismo da mulher (Manuela) é o tema central, em Romero, com a extensa crônica literária que lhe faz von Hagen e a recopilação e a descoberta de aparentes textos originais e históricos (cartas, diários) que faz Álvarez Saá. Também é um exercício de pesquisa em que, de maneira especial, se mistura o que diz o discurso histórico oficial, segundo seja visto pela escola da Venezuela ou a de Quito, com a visão dada pela ficção a esse discurso. É, ao mesmo tempo, um pouco a possível reivindicação de Manuela Sáenz como pessoa e/ou personagem preponderante nas lutas de independência da América que chegavam além do seu ¨controvertido¨ relacionamento com Simón Bolívar. É ver, de certa forma, como os textos literários a as percepções da história sobre uma personagem (Manuela) têm tendência a ¨se readaptar” nos tempos atuais e como se quis dar força à figura de heroína de Manuela Sáenz, dando uma vitória a ela na que, tal vez, von Hagen denomina “a escola de Quito”.Se pretendió el análisis del orden discursivo narrativo de la novela del venezolano Denzil Romero, “La esposa del Dr. Thorne”, a luz de las obras del estadounidense Víctor W. von Hagen, ¨Las cuatro estaciones de Manuela” y del ecuatoriano Carlos Álvarez Saá, “Manuela.

Este trabajo es la comparación riesgosa entre un libro de ficción, basado presumiblemente en hechos reales, donde el erotismo de la mujer (Manuela) es el tema central, en Romero, con la larga crónica literaria que hace von Hagen y la recopilación y descubrimiento de presuntos textos originales e históricos (cartas, diarios) que hace Álvarez Saá.

Sustainable Interventions for the Preservation of Earthen Heritage
No full textAbstractEarth is one of the most common material used for the construction of historical villages, whose conservation ensures the transmission of a technological culture that represents the landscape, as well as historical and architectural values. The preservation of this rich, but very fragile, heritage requires the development of projects that should be promoters of sustainable interventions, not only able to guarantee a limit in the consumption of resources, but also the start-up of local development processes, generating externalities that could significantly contribute to the preservation of tangible and intangible assets. As it concerns Piedmont earthen vernacular architecture the development of thematic itineraries could give a significant contribution to the enhancement of this cultural heritage
Imminent extinction of the guanay cormorant on the Atlantic South American coast: A conservation concern?
No full textGuanay cormorants Phalacrocorax bougainvilli are distributed mostly on the Pacific coast of Peru and northern Chile. A small population of around 50 pairs was described on the Patagonian Atlantic coast in the late 1960s. Further records have revealed a progressive decrease of this population. During 1999 we looked for guanay cormorants at those Atlantic colonies where the species was recorded in the past. Only four individuals were detected in one colony (Punta Lobería), and all of them were mated with king cormorants P. albiventer. In addition, we recorded hybrids between guanay and king cormorants mated with pure king cormorants P. atriceps. Causes of the population decline are unknown. Since guanay cormorants inhabiting the Atlantic coast could be a genetically differentiated population, we emphasize the need for molecular studies. If genetic polymorphism is detected, the capture of remnant individuals in order to constitute a genetic stock should be considered.Fil: Bertellotti, Néstor Marcelo.

Design assistive technology for handling moldable mass for children with absence of upper limb
No full text"Marte" es el resultado de un proyecto académico, realizado en 2017 en la Universidad El Bosque de Bogotá durante la carrera de Diseño Industrial, es un producto que facilita y optimiza terapias para la rehabilitación preprotésica y protésica mediante el manejo de composiciones de moldeo y herramientas de moldeo, con el fin de mejorar el trofismo y la calidad muscular de los niños con amputación de miembro superior, malformación congénita transradial o antebrazo. De acuerdo con las observaciones de los niños con este tipo de malformaciones, estos tienen dificultad en su desarrollo y participación social, mostrando timidez y baja relación con sus compañeros; en general se mejora su escasa participación en actividades artísticas que también requieren coordinación y uso controlado de ambas manos, lo que hace que este tipo de actividad sea ideal para la rehabilitación del niño. El proyecto se centró en el modelado y la creación de prototipos en 3D y duró 5 meses (alrededor de 17 horas de terapia). El desarrollo de las terapias fue realizado por un equipo multidisciplinar, formado por un diseñador industrial en formación, terapeutas ocupacionales, fisioterapeutas y psicólogos del Laboratorio de la Universidad Manuela Beltrán, con niños de entre 3 a 8 años.
El enfoque de las terapias fue invitar a la exploración lúdica y la creación de modelos de arcilla utilizando tecnologías de asistencia en tareas gradualmente más complejas utilizando una protoprótesis acoplable. Se concluyó que los niveles de atención y memoria estaban relacionados con los procesos de selección de sus modelos de desarrollo en arcilla y la libertad que tenían los niños para elegirlos; También se concluyó que las terapias ayudaron a mejorar su motricidad, coordinación y planificación gracias al aumento paulatino de la dificultad de las tareas."Marte" is the result of an academic project, undertaken in 2017 at the University El Bosque in Bogotá during the undergraduate degree of Industrial Design, it is a product that facilitates and optimizes therapies for pre-prosthetic and prosthetic rehabilitation by handling molding compositions and molding tools, in order to improve trophism and muscle quality of children with upper limb amputation, transradial congenital malformation type or forearm. According to the observations of children with this type of malformation, they have difficulty in their development and social participation, showing shyness and low relationships with peers; generally their limited participation is improved in artistic activities which also require coordination and controlled use of both hands, making this type of activity ideal for the child's rehabilitation. The project was focused on modeling and prototyping in 3D and ran for 5 months (around 17 hours of therapy). The development of the therapies was performed by a multidisciplinary team, consisting of an industrial designer in training, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and psychologists at the Laboratory of University Manuela Beltran, with children between 3 to 8 years. The approach to the therapies was to invite playful exploration and creation of clay models using assistive technologies in gradually more complex tasks using an attachable proto-prothesis. It was concluded that levels of attention and memory were related to the selection processes for their development models in clay and the freedom that the children had to choose them; it was also concluded that the therapies helped improve their motor, coordination and planning skills thanks to the gradual increase in difficulty of the tasks
