    ReligiosoChinú, CórdobaCarrera 6 # 15-39La Iglesia de San Rafael de Chinú tiene sus orígenes en el periodo colonial, en el contexto de las reorganizaciones territoriales impulsadas por las autoridades españolas en el siglo XVIII. En 1775, durante la gestión de Don Antonio de la Torre y Miranda, se llevó a cabo la reubicación de familias y el trazado urbano del poblado, lo que evidencia la existencia y relevancia de un templo religioso que articulaba la vida comunitaria y administrativa del asentamiento. Desde entonces, la iglesia ha mantenido su función como centro de referencia religiosa, acompañando los principales procesos históricos de la localidad, entre ellos la consolidación del municipio y las transformaciones sociopolíticas que marcaron la transición del orden colonial al republicano. A lo largo del tiempo, el templo ha conservado su condición de bien patrimonial con valor histórico, en tanto constituye un testimonio material de la continuidad institucional y de las dinámicas de conformación territorial en la región de Chinú desde el siglo XVIII hasta la actualidad.Esta iglesia presenta una estética de corte Neocolonial, caracterizada por la búsqueda de una imponente verticalidad que contrasta con la horizontalidad de la nave. La fachada logra un fuerte impacto visual gracias al marcado contraste cromático entre el blanco limpio de los muros y el amarillo dorado ocre, que resalta los elementos estructurales y decorativos como cornisas, pilastras y arcos. La torre campanario, dispuesta en varios cuerpos escalonados, es el elemento dominante y jerárquico, acentuada por un remate bulboso y un reloj, reflejando el poder de la institución en el paisaje urbano. El uso de arcos de medio punto y las ventanas con sutiles celosías o vitrales oscuros infunde un ritmo visual clásico a lo largo de la nave, resultando en una estructura que es a la vez luminosa, solemne y profundamente tradicional en su lenguaje formal. En el interior, la espacialidad se organiza mediante una secuencia rítmica de arcos y columnas que definen la nave principal con una sensación de continuidad y equilibrio visual. La iluminación natural, filtrada por los vanos laterales, contribuye a la percepción de ligereza estructural y realza la textura de los acabados. Los detalles dorados en capiteles y luminarias introducen un matiz de sobriedad ornamental que dialoga con la blancura dominante, generando una atmósfera de serenidad formal. La composición general evidencia una búsqueda de orden, proporción y armonía, sustentada en la simplicidad estructural y la coherencia estética del conjunto. La Iglesia San Rafael de Chinú posee un valor simbólico asociado a su papel como eje de identidad colectiva y expresión del legado religioso de la comunidad. Su presencia en el centro del municipio la ha consolidado como un referente de cohesión social, donde convergen las manifestaciones de fe y las tradiciones que estructuran la vida comunitaria. A través del tiempo, el templo ha representado la permanencia de la devoción católica y la continuidad de las costumbres locales. Las festividades en honor a San Rafael, desarrolladas en torno al templo, reafirman su función como espacio de encuentro y expresión de la memoria colectiva. En este contexto, la iglesia materializa la relación entre religión, tradición y pertenencia, actuando como emblema de la continuidad cultural de Chinú. Su permanencia a lo largo de los procesos históricos del municipio la configura como un signo visible de la identidad chinuana, depositario de significados compartidos que fortalecen el sentido común

    Distributive justice and poverty alleviation in Mexico (1992-2000)

    No full text
    The liberal debate on egalitarian distributive justice was originally developed with affluent occidental countries in mind. We might ask whether the liberal egalitarian distributive question has a different answer when we consider countries with a different social justice answer should in principle better interpret a political conception of social justice for a poor society, and within this general distributive principle provide specific theoretical distributive criteria for the design of poverty alleviation programmes. I claim, as a possible answer to this theoretical question that egalitarianism could be better served by using a mixed distributive. I maintain that in extreme scarcity situations egalitarians should rather appeal to a moral pluralist view where many factors matter when we compare various feasible distributions, not only equality. This “hybrid” distributive view, which I have called Progressive Sufficiency would not give ultimate importance to equality; it would give priority to the worse off over the better off individuals only under some circumstances and would consider that several morally relevant thresholds should be clarified. Another problem relates to the type of goods upon we should focus when dealing with interpersonal comparisons. Three types are commonly distinguished: welfare, resources and capability. Progressive sufficiency for instance would recommend thresholds in advantage with the first one described in absolute terms and the second and third described in progressive increases of benefits, taking as the measure of benefits the average held by the proportion of the population within thresholds. Thus we could conclude that both analysis either of the distributive criterion and the currency of the distribution naturally fit together in a general prioritarian argument with graded steps of benefits. My case study is Mexico and some of its recent poverty alleviation programmes (1992-2000). In terms of developing countries, the Mexican case is interesting because most of its institutions and policies have being inspired by liberal ideas that have succeeded in creating a moderately strong economy, but have failed in the fair distribution of scarce resources

    Esta investigación tuvo como propósito desarrollar un modelo para seleccionar fincas productoras de café orgánico. El proyecto se estructuró a partir de diversas fuentes de información primarias y secundarias, como: informes técnicos de organismos de desarrollo público (FEDECAFE, CENICAFE, CCI), artículos científicos, páginas virtuales en Internet y asesorías de investigadores expertos en la temática. En consonó con lo anteriores se concluyó que se debían realizar cuatro etapas, la primera desde la sustentabilidad, la segunda desde el análisis de punto de equilibrio, la tercera desde el análisis de componentes principales y la cuarta desde el diseño factorial; razón por la cual se trabajó con la técnica DELPHI, el método MESMIS, y el proceso de análisis jerárquico como metodologías para la clasificación, diferenciación, selección y toma de decisiones para este sector agrícola. Técnicas que permitieron conformar un equipo de expertos, elaborar una encuesta, identificar las 10 variables sustentables del proyecto, estructurar un cuestionario y su escala, y definir los indicadores estadísticos, técnicos y económicos que intervienen en la producción de café diferenciado u orgánico. Estadísticamente se calculó el peso porcentual, la ponderación de cada una de las variables y los indicadores de precisión del método empleado para analizar jerárquicamente 3 fincas siguiendo la teoría de toma de decisiones y el análisis multi criterio. Con base en los resultados se concretaron indicadores de fiabilidad y confiabilidad los cuales permitieron clasificar 3 fincas productoras de cafés diferenciados. Además, se contrastaron los resultados obtenidos con el análisis de punto de equilibrio, el cual coincidió con los resultados obtenidos con el proceso de análisis jerárquico (AHP). El análisis de componentes principales (ACP), permitió correlacionar y corroborar las variables de sustentabilidad, económicas y productivas, y con el diseño factorial 2k se obtuvo el modelo estadístico para seleccionar fincas cafeteras utilizando variables agrícolasThis research was aimed to develop a model to select farms producing organic coffee. The project was structured from various primary and secondary sources of information, such as technical reports public development agencies (FEDECAFE, CENICAFE, CCI), scientific articles, virtual pages on the Internet and advice of expert researchers in the field. In harmony with the above it was concluded that they should perform four stages, the first from sustainability, the second from the breakeven analysis, the third from the principal component analysis and the fourth since the factorial design; why the technique worked with DELPHI, the MESMIS method, and the process of hierarchical analysis methodologies for the classification, differentiation, selection and decision making for the agricultural sector. Techniques that allowed to form a team of experts to prepare a survey identified 10 sustainable project variables, structuring a questionnaire and scale, and to define the statistical, technical and economic indicators involved in the production of differentiated or organic coffee. Statistically, the percentage weight, the weight of each of the variables and indicators of accuracy of the method used was calculated to analyze hierarchically 3 properties on the theory of decision making and multi criteria analysis. Based on the results indicators of reliability and reliability which allowed to classify three farms producing differentiated coffees materialized. Moreover, the results obtained with the analysis of equilibrium point, which coincided with the results obtained with the process of hierarchical analysis (AHP) were compared. The principal component analysis (PCA) allowed correlate and corroborate the variables of sustainability, economic and productive, and the 2k factorial statistical model was obtained to select coffee farms using agricultural variablesPregrad

    Political Discourse and Neoliberal Reform in Mexico 1988-1994.

    No full text
    PhDThis thesis examines the impact of economic liberalism on the dominant source of legitimation in Mexico - nationalism - during the presidency of Carlos Salinas de Gortari (1988-94). It asks whether national ideology remained of value as a legitimising force given the ways in which neoliberalism challenged its social rationale and looks at the search for a new basis of consensus. The thesis argues that salinismo continued to find nationalism valuable to maintaining consensus by providing a formula which could mediate rival individual and social claims. It analyses nationalism through the content attributed to the individual and the social in political discourse of the period. Chapter 1 argues that a relationship has existed between political economy and national ideology since Mexico's independence. This has been determined by elites seeking to establish a state sufficiently stable to enable economic development. In the 20th century, conceptions of nationality provided criteria for "nation-building", the creation of an integrated citizenry free of divisions which threatened stability. Chapter 2 argues that Salinas continued to find nationalism of legitimising value to his own state reforms, but adapted it to neoliberal priorities. Chapters 3 and 4 focus on how Salinas dealt in two instances - landholding and free trade - with conflicts generated by rival conceptions within nationalism and neoliberalism of the individual and sovereignty. Chapter 5 examines how intellectuals reassessed nationalist ideology, and how the new models of community they imagined reflected the search for a legitimising formula functional to the new political economy. Chapters 6 and 7 argue that opposition parties on Left and Right also sought such a formula and assessedth e need to mediate individual and social claims. The thesis contributes to an understanding of the role nationalism has played in Mexico's capitalist development, shedding light upon its fate within accelerated modernisation

    PSMA PET/CT imaging for biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer after radiotherapy: is it necessary to review the Phoenix criteria?

    No full text
    [Purpose] PSMA positron emission tomography (PET)/CT imaging and new systemic treatment strategies have been recently implemented in the routine care of patients with prostate cancer. In the new era of PSMA PET/CT imaging, the definition of recurrence as established by the Phoenix criteria may be questioned.[Methods] A search of the evidence published in the Medline, Scopus, and Embase databases has been carried out to identify the most relevant findings published in the literature in the last 10 years up to July 2022. QUADAS-2 analysis has been carried out.[Results] Published data show evidence for the diagnostic superiority of PSMA PET/CT for biochemical recurrence after radiotherapy compared to conventional imaging techniques. Several studies show that up to 80% of patients not meeting the Phoenix criteria for biochemical recurrence present disease progression by PSMA PET/CT. These patients may potentially benefit from metastasis-directed therapies (MDT), such as SBRT (stereotactic body radiotherapy) and surgery. SBRT shows a broad safety profile and potential clinical benefit in patients with oligo-metastatic prostate cancer after definitive RT (radiation therapy).[Conclusions] The development of PSMA PET/CT questions the need for a review of the Phoenix criteria. Solid studies are needed to evaluate new PSA thresholds to redefine these criteria considering the clinical benefit to the patient of changing the therapeutic approach at different stages of the disease.Peer reviewe

    The first observation of the decay B0s→K∗0K∗0 is reported using 35 pb−1 of data collected by LHCb in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. A total of 49.8±7.5 B0s→(K+π−)(K−π+) events are observed within ±50 MeV/c2 of the B0s mass and 746 MeV/c2 < mKπ < 1046 MeV/c2, mostly coming from a resonant B0s→K∗0K∗0 signal. The branching fraction and the CP-averaged K∗0 longitudinal polarization fraction are measured to be B(B0s→K∗0K∗0)=(2.81±0.46(stat.)±0.45(syst.)±0.34(fs/ fd))×10−5 and fL =0.31±0.12(stat.)±0.04(syst.)

    ilustraciones, graficasINTRODUCCIÓN: El formaldehído (FA) es una sustancia química clasificada por la Agencia Internacional de Investigación en Cáncer (IARC), como una sustancia grupo I, lo que significa que se ha confirmado que es capaz de originar cáncer en los seres humanos. Se ha identificado como causante de cáncer nasofaríngeo, leucemia mieloide aguda y cáncer sinusoidal, adicionalmente se conoce como genotóxica, mutagénica y sensibilizante de piel y vías áreas. Esta es una sustancia utilizada ampliamente en diferentes ambientes laborales, principalmente en ambientes hospitalarios y en la industria, por sus propiedades como conservante, biocida y producto intermedio para la fabricación de láminas, resinas y madera. Conociendo sus efectos nocivos a la salud es imperativo realizar vigilancia médica sobre los trabajadores a través del control y seguimiento de mediciones ambientales y adicionalmente, un examen médico ocupacional acompañado de biomarcadores que permitan monitorizar de cerca la exposición y así mismo alertar posibles efectos reversibles en salud; sin embargo, aunque se han hecho muchos esfuerzos e investigaciones para identificar uno o varios biomarcadores que permitan monitorear a los trabajadores expuestos, los resultados de la evidencia generada presentan amplias diferencias, lo cual lleva a una situación confusa a la hora de tomar decisiones en la vigilancia ocupacional. OBJETIVO: Revisar de manera sistemática la evidencia disponible para evaluar los diferentes biomarcadores aplicables en la vigilancia médica ocupacional de la exposición a formaldehido METODOLOGÍA: Se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos EMBASE, LILACS, MEDLINE, CHOCRANE LIBRARY, PUBCHEM, así como una búsqueda manual a partir de las referencias de los artículos seleccionados y búsqueda en base de datos OPENGREY con las palabras clave formaldehído, monitoreo biológico, exposición ocupacional, y los términos MESH Formaldehyde, biological monitoring, biomarkers, ocuppactional exposure, DNA adducts, protein adducts, antibodies, genotoxicity. Se incluyeron artículos desde enero de 2000 hasta octubre 2020. Se realizó una estrategia de dos pasos. En primer lugar, la lectura de resumen y primera selección de artículos para revisión completa; en segundo lugar, la verificación de criterios de inclusión y exclusión de artículos seleccionados y literatura de búsqueda manual. RESULTADOS: La búsqueda inicial arrojó 108 registros, sin embargo, solo 30 artículos cumplieron los criterios de inclusión y exclusión establecidos. Posteriormente se realizó una calificación de cada estudio por parte de dos investigadores de manera independiente y se calificó el riesgo de sesgos por medio de la herramienta JBI. Unos de los biomarcadores más frecuentemente evaluados fueron los micronúcleos en sangre periférica, los cuales arrojaron un OR 3.21 (IC 95%: 2.39-4.04) entre los expuestos a formaldehído vs los controles, sin embargo, los estudios incluidos eran heterogéneos (I2=99%) entre sí, motivo por el cual se realizó un metanálisis de efectos aleatorios. DISCUSIÓN: Se encontró un riesgo intermedio a alto de sesgos en todos los estudios realizados, lo que dificulta el análisis de los datos y limita contar con homogeneidad en los datos y genera alta variabilidad de cada ítem evaluado en los diferentes grupos de estudio. Además de que no se cuenta con un gold estándar para comparar los biomarcadores propuestos en cada estudio, lo que genera la dificultad de la realización de un análisis cuantitativo de los datos obtenidos. Se encontraron resultados que mostraban asociación de las alteraciones de los biomarcadores con exposición y otros estudios con resultados disímiles. CONCLUSIONES: Es imperioso la ejecución de estudios con mejor calidad metodológica, que usen criterios estandarizados, donde haya control de las diferentes variables para minimizar el sesgo y en el cual se escojan diferentes poblaciones a nivel mundial dado que han sido pocos países se han interesado en evaluar a su población trabajadora. Con los estudios y biomarcadores evaluados, se logra continuar confirmando que las mediciones ambientales hacen parte de la vigilancia y que vigilancia y que no se cuenta con ningún biomarcador específico para FA. (Texto tomado de la fuente)INTRODUCTION: Formaldehyde is a chemical substance classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), as a group I substance, which means that it has been confirmed that it is capable of causing cancer in humans. It has been identified as the cause of nasopharyngeal cancer, acute myeloid leukemia and sinusoidal cancer, it is also known as genotoxic, mutagenic and sensitizing the skin and airways. This is a substance widely used in different work environments, mainly in hospital environments and in industry, for its properties as a preservative, biocide and intermediate product for the manufacture of sheets, resins and wood. Knowing its harmful effects on health, it is imperative to medically carry out workers through control and monitoring of environmental detection and, additionally, an occupational medical examination accompanied by biomarkers that can closely monitor exposure and also alert possible reversible effects on health; However, although many efforts and investigations have been made to identify one or several biomarkers that allow monitoring of exposed workers, the results of the evidence showed wide differences, which leads to a confusing situation when making decisions in the industry. occupational surveillance. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the available evidence to evaluate the different applicable biomarkers in occupational medical surveillance of formaldehyde exposure. METHODOLOGY: A search was carried out in the EMBASE, LILACS, MEDLINE, CHOCRANE LIBRARY, PUBCHEM databases, as well as a manual search based on the references of the selected articles and a search in the OPENGREY database with the keywords formaldehyde, biological monitoring, occupational exposure, and the MESH terms Formaldehyde, biological monitoring, biomarkers, occupational exposure, DNA adducts, protein adducts, antibodies, genotoxicity. Articles from January 2000 to October 2020 were included. A two-step strategy was used. Firstly, the abstract reading and first selection of articles for full review; second, the verification of inclusion and exclusion criteria of selected articles and manual search literature. RESULTS: The initial search yielded 108 records, however, only 30 articles met the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. Subsequently, each study was rated independently by two investigators and risk of bias was rated using the JBI tool. One of the most frequently evaluated biomarkers was micronuclei in peripheral blood, which yielded an OR 3.21 (95% CI: 2.39-4.04) between those exposed to formaldehyde vs. controls, however, the included studies were heterogeneous (I2=99 %) with each other, which is why a random-effects meta-analysis was performed. DISCUSSION: An intermediate to high risk of bias was found in all the studies carried out, which makes data analysis difficult and contributes to the difficulty of their homogeneity and the high variability of each item evaluated in the different study groups. In addition to the fact that there is no gold standard to compare the biomarkers proposed in each study, which makes it difficult to carry out a quantitative analysis of the data obtained. Results were found that showed association of biomarker alterations with exposure and other studies with dissimilar results CONCLUSIONS: It is imperative to carry out studies with better methodological quality, that use standardized criteria, where there is control of the different variables to minimize bias and in which different populations are chosen worldwide, given that few countries have been interested in Assess your working population. With the studies and biomarkers evaluated, it is possible to continue confirming that environmental measurements are part of surveillance and that and there is no specific biomarker for formaldehyde.MaestríaMagíster en ToxicologíaSe realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos EMBASE, LILACS, MEDLINE, CHOCRANE LIBRARY, PUBCHEM, así como una búsqueda manual a partir de las referencias de los artículos seleccionados y búsqueda en base de datos OPENGREY con las palabras clave formaldehído, monitoreo biológico, exposición ocupacional, y los términos MESH Formaldehyde, biological monitoring, biomarkers, ocuppactional exposure, DNA adducts, protein adducts, antibodies, genotoxicity.

    The fellowship of St.Diogo : new Christian judaisers in Coimbra in the early 17th century

    No full text
    Dr Antonio Homem was a respected teacher in the University of Coimbra, a Canon in the Cathedral and an illustrious scholar. He was also the heir of a long Jewish family tradition. His great-great-grand father lived and died as a Jew. His great-grandfather, his grandmother and two of his uncles were among his relatives to have been sentenced as judaisers by the Inquisition. His own father kept the Law of Moses, and taught it to all his children, without the knowledge of his wife, an Old Christian of noble lineage. His concern for the situation of the New Christians in Portugal eventually made him build up a congregation of judaisers, which he called the Fellowship of St Diogo as a tribute to a Capuchin friar who had been executed a few years earlier as an apostate and defender of the Jewish Law. His congregation grew to include over sixty people, including clerics, physicians, lawyers and students, as well as merchants and farmers. Its leader gave it a corpus of doctrine and eventually a distinctive liturgy, which showed influence from the Catholic Church. The Fellowship also inspired the creation of judaiser conventicles in three major Monasteries in the Coimbra district, where a relatively large number of nuns held cult meetings and paid homage to Friar Diogo as a martyr of the Law of Moses. After several years of activity, the Fellowship was investigated and dismantled by the Inquisition. Most of its members were arrested and sentenced. Dr AntOnio Homem was himself taken into custody, charged with heresy and apostasy, as well as sodomy (he was a known paederast), and finally handed over to the secular arm for execution. His dream of building up a judaiser community in Coimbra was shattered. The Fellowship members who survived either left the country and joined the orthodox Jewish communities in the Netherlands and elsewhere, or stayed in Portugal and gradually lost their Jewish consciousness. Descendants of some of them can still be found near Coimbra

    The Christian ministry : case studies of preachers of the Churches of Christ in Bicol, Philippines

    No full text
    This thesis examines the challenges faced by the ministers of religion in Churches of Christ (Restoration Movement) in Bicol, Philippines. The goal is to do theology from below, not from above, as pastoral ministry must come from the experience of those who practice it, not from textbooks. The pastoral perspectives of the dilemmas that the ministers raise are heard, observed, documented, and then reflected upon. To do this, case studies of four preachers are used and the mga problema that they present are explored with them. As a result, first, I introduce some of those challenges which are perplexing on the ground level and which appear to be under-researched in serious theological circles, especially in an Asian context. Second, I hope that these case studies can be used to stimulate reflection in ministerial and spiritual formation. Third, I document some of the theology and methodology of the Churches of Christ, particularly as practiced in the Philippines. Chapter 1 explores the dichotomy between the perceived satisfaction in the pastoral ministry with the crisis of role and identity. In particular, issues such as forced exits and stress are presented while baptism and preaching are scrutinized. Chapter 2 centres on the conundrums experienced in planting a new church and being the lone planter. Chapter 3 examines three challenges–the task of ministering in a home congregation, the issue of accreditation in ministerial training, and how the minister can be a success and grow the church. Never far from the thoughts and actions of any of the Bicolano ministers is the problema of poverty, so Chapter 4 considers some of the Filipino, personal, and spiritual complexities of poverty, delineates a number of factors that need to be taken into consideration in any effort to overcome this malady and concludes with a particular reference to ministry
