    La alfabetización informacional dentro de las políticas nacionales sobre tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TICs): la cultura de la información, una dimensión ausente

    No full text
    Most national and international development policies have now made ample room for the application of ICT and transition toward the information society. Within each country as well as among them, inequalities in access and use (usually referred to as “digital divide”) are seen as a major threat. In addition to securing “universal access," information literacy is a major component of these efforts. A number of examples mostly drawn from Latin America illustrate the patterns in addressing information literacy issues. The emphasis upon use of computers and more generally the quite narrow perspective of these programs makes them look far more an exercise for “retooling” the workforce than empowering citizens. It is advocated that the potential of the Information Age cannot be realised without expanding the scope of information and computer literacy far beyond their usual, functional aspects. What is at stake is the formation of an information culture, which itself involves the adaptation of pre-existing cultures. In other words a cultural revolution assumed by the actors rather than a cultural involution pushed by the global media. In conclusion a few requirements for such a new course are outlined.

    STARFISH SAPONINS .18. STEROIDAL GLYCOSIDE SULFATES FROM THE STARFISH LINCKIA-LAEVIGATA

    The asterosaponins of the Pacific starfish L. laevigata were sepd. into 5 compds. Four of them are known: thornasteroside A, marthasteroside A1, ophidianoside F, and maculatoside. The 5th minor component, named laevigatoside, is new and was characterized as 6α-O-[β-fucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-α-arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-[(β-quinovopyranosyl-(1 → 2)]-β-quinovopyranosyl-(1 → 3)-β-quinovopyranosyl]-20-hydroxy-23-oxo-5α-cholest-9(11)-en-3β-yl Na sulfate

    STARFISH SAPONINS .23. STEROIDAL GLYCOSIDES FROM THE STARFISH HALITYLE-REGULARIS

    Eight new steroidal glycosides were isolated from the starfish H. regularis. Three compds. contain the 2,4-di-O-methyl-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinofuranosyl disaccharide moiety, which is attached at C-24 of polyhydroxysteroid aglycons. Another 3 glycosides have polyhydroxylated 24-(β-hydroxyethyl) steroid aglycons with the disaccharide moieties, 2-O-methyl-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-β-D-xylopyranosyl or 2,4-di-O-methyl-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1→2)-α-L-arabinofuranosyl, located at the primary hydroxyl group at C-29. Unlike the other compds., the other 2 glycosides have a sulfate group. These glycosides are accompanied by 2 nonglycosidated polyhydoxylated sterols, i.e., (25S)-5α-cholestane-3β,6α,8,15β,26-hexol and (25S)-5α-cholestane-3β,4β,6α,8,15β,26-heptol. The structures of the new metabolites were detd. by interpretation of spectral data, comparison with related glycosides described previously, and chem. transformations

    STARFISH SAPONINS .16. COMPOSITION OF THE STEROIDAL GLYCOSIDE SULFATES FROM THE STARFISH LUIDIA-MACULATA

    No full text
    Thornasteroside A, maculatoside (I), marthasteroside A2, marthasteroside B, and marthasteroside C were isolated from L. maculata by extn. and chromatog. on Amberlite XAD-2, Sephadex LH-60, Sephadex LH-20, and anal. HPLC on μ-Bondapack C18. The structures of the saponins were detd. by 1H- and 13C-NMR and chem. analyses. Thornasteroside A was previously isolated from Acanthaster planci, whereas the marthasterosides were previously isolated from Marthasterias glacialis

    STARFISH SAPONINS .22. ASTEROSAPONINS FROM THE STARFISH HALITYLE-REGULARIS - A NOVEL 22,23-EPOXYSTEROIDAL GLYCOSIDE SULFATE

    No full text
    A new sulfated asterosaponin, regularoside A (I), contg. the (20R,22R,23S,24S)-22,23-epoxy-24-methyl-5α-cholesta-9(11)-ene-3β,6α,20-triol aglycon, was isolated from the Pacific starfish H. regularis. The sulfate residue is at C-3, and the oligosaccharide chain, β-D-fucopyranosyl(1→2)-β-D-quinovopyranosyl(1→4)[β-D-quinovopyranosyl(1→2)]-β-D-quinovopyranosyl(1→3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl, is at C-6. I co-occurs with the common thornasteroside A (II) and the novel regularoside B (III). III also has thornasterol A as its aglycon and the oligosaccharide chain is β-D-fucopyranosyl(1→2)-β-D-fucopyranosyl(1→4)[β-D-quinovopyranosyl(1→2)]-β-D-xylopyranosyl(1→3)-β-D-quinovopyranosyl. The structures of I and III were detd. by 3H- and 13C-NMR combined with chem. degrdn. anal
