The Latin American Consortium of Studies in Obesity (LASO)
No full textCurrent, high-quality data are needed to evaluate the health impact of the epidemic of obesity in Latin America. The Latin American Consortium of Studies of Obesity (LASO) has been established, with the objectives of (i) Accurately estimating the prevalence of obesity and its distribution by sociodemographic characteristics; (ii) Identifying ethnic, socioeconomic and behavioural determinants of obesity; (iii) Estimating the association between various anthropometric indicators or obesity and major cardiovascular risk factors and (iv) Quantifying the validity of standard definitions of the various indexes of obesity in Latin American population. To achieve these objectives, LASO makes use of individual data from existing studies. To date, the LASO consortium includes data from 11 studies from eight countries (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Peru, Puerto Rico and Venezuela), including a total of 32 462 subjects. This article describes the overall organization of LASO, the individual studies involved and the overall strategy for data analysis. LASO will foster the development of collaborative obesity research among Latin American investigators. More important, results from LASO will be instrumental to inform health policies aiming to curtail the epidemic of obesity in the region

On the use of photobleaching to reduce fluorescence background in Raman spectroscopy to improve the reliability of pigment identification on painted textiles
No full textSubjecting a specimen of red lead watercolour paint on silk to photobleaching was demonstrated to be a simple means by which to engineer a reduction in the magnitude of the fluorescent background that was approximately exponential with time, with a corresponding improvement in the signal to noise ratio of the Raman spectrum, thus rendering the characteristic peaks more easily visible and allowing more confident identification of the pigment. However, relative heights of the Raman peaks obtained from the sample were seen to alter progressively as a result of irradiation, indicating that some component of the sample was undergoing degradation that may result in longer-term damage to a fragile historic artefact. It was also shown that crystals of the lead monoxide pigment massicot were present in the samples ofred lead on a painted silk artefact dating from 1750. It is concluded that this was either due to deliberate mixing of pigments by the artist, contrary to historic records, or as a result of the roasting techniques used to create red lead pigments at the time and not due to thermal degradation of the pigment during Raman analysis

Implicit micro-macro methods
No full textUnlike in continuum approaches, time-dependent micro--macro calculations have been performed up to now almost exclusively using a simple explicit time marching algorithm, the exception being the pioneering work by Somasi and Khomami [J. Non-Newtonian Fluid Mech. 93 (2000) 339] whose iteration of a semi-implicit algorithm is equivalent to a fully implicit formulation. The use of explicit time integration puts explicit micro-macro methods at a disadvantage, since they lack the desirable stability of fully implicit methods. The limitation of using explicit time marching schemes often leads to reduced computational efficiency, since unnecessarily small time steps must be taken to ensure numerical stability. It is shown in a rather general way that micro-macro methods can indeed be treated in a fully implicit fashion, thus putting them on the same footing, as far as stability of time integration is concerned, as continuum approaches.

Simón Rodríguez Laso, un clérigo ilustrado en el colegio de San Clemente de los españoles
No full textSimón Rodríguez Laso (Montejo, Salamanca, 1751, Bologna, 1821) Doctor of Law for the University of Bologna, Dignity of the Maestrecuela of the Cathedral of Ciudad Rodrigo, Knight of the Order of Carlos III and Rector of the College of San Clemente (Bolonga, Italy) from 1788 until his death, in 1821. This article seeks to highlight the Italian stage of a Spanish Enlightenment men, who fought for the survival of a characteristic institution of the Ancien Regime, San Clemente of the Spaniards College, which resisted the offensive of liberalism. The article also underlines Laso´s personality, learned and regalist, he saw off his reformist thinking because of the new ideas that emerged from French Revolution and devoted his life to the Hispanic College of Bologna.Simón Rodríguez Laso (Montejo, Salamanca, 1751, Bolonia, 1821) Doctor en Cánones por la Universidad de Bolonia, dignidad de de maestrescuela de la S. I. catedral de Ciudad Rodrigo, caballero de la Orden de Carlos III y rector del Colegio de San Clemente de Bolonia desde 1788 hasta su muerte en 1821. En este artículo se pretende dar a conocer la etapa italiana de un ilustrado español, que luchó por la supervivencia de una institución característica del Antiguo Régimen, el Colegio de San Clemente de los españoles de Bolonia, que resistió a la ofensiva del liberalismo. En el artículo se quieren también destacar algunos rasgos de la personalidad de Laso, ilustrado y regalista, que vio mitigado su pensamiento reformista por las nuevas ideas que surgieron de la Revolución Francesa y que consagró su vida al Colegio hispánico de Bolonia
