WILLIAMS-BEUREN MAPPING IN CALLITHRIX ARGENTATA, CALLICEBUS CUPREUS AND ALOUATTA CARAYA INDICATES DIFFERENT PATTERNS OF CHROMOSOMAL REARRANGEMENTS IN…
2007
Human chromosome 7 has a complex syntenic origin. It was divided into two segments in both the ancestral primate karyotype and in Platyrrhini. Apparently, a small segment in the ancestral platyrrhine karyotype was associated with HSA5 and the remainder formed a middle-sized submetacentric. We tested the dynamics of platyrrhine chromosomes by hybridizing the locus specific Willams-Beuren probe (7q 11.23, 450 kb) to chromosomes of representative species from the three families of the New World monkeys recently proposed by molecular genomics: Cebidae, Callithrix argentata (bare ear marmoset or silvery marmoset, 2n = 44); Pitheciidae, Callicebus cupreus [red titi monkey, or coppery monkey, 2n =…

Er det sammenheng mellom oppvarmet CO2 gass, postoperative smerter og hypotermi ved laparaskopiske inngrep? : en kvantitativ undersøkelse
2016
Masteroppgave i spesialsykepleie – Universitetet i Agder 2016 Background: A common complication to laparoscopic procedures is postoperative shoulder pain. As a result of a surgical procedure, the patient is also exposed to hypothermia. There are various theories of the causes of postoperative shoulder pain and hypothermia. One of them suggest that the internal environment in the abdomen changes by insufflation of standard CO2 gas, and that this may result in peritoneal changes. Previous studies show that heated CO2 gas can reduce postoperative pain and hypothermia by laparoscopic surgery. Surgical and intensive patient is in a vulnerable situation, and the reflection on the operation and in…
«La princesa i el pèsol» (ATU 704): de les reescriptures escolars a la construcció identitària
2018
A partir del conte d’Andersen «La princesa i el pèsol», s’aborden qüestions que afecten el sentit i difusió d’un text que forma part del cànon de contes clàssics, objecte de pràctiques discursives diverses. En primer lloc, la interpretació de la sensibilitat extrema de la seua protagonista i la reflexió sobre el possible missatge misògin del relat. En aquest sentit, es tracta la reescriptura dels contes de fades proposada per la crítica feminista i l’aparició de nous contes metaficcionals que dialoguen intertextualment amb els clàssics. S’hi aborda la presència i l’ús actual de la figura dels contes de princeses en l’àmbit escolar. En el context de la «glocalització», que dona visibilitat a…
Rompé tus barreras: Un análisis sobre el uso del coaching ontológico en la plataforma de entrenamiento de Nike en Buenos Aires
2020
In recent times, coaching has become relevant in heterogeneous discourses and practices in the economic, political and cultural fields of contemporary societies. Based on our ethnographic analysis of different training sessions on the Nike+ Run Club platform in Buenos Aires, in this article we study how ontological coaching operates in the field of sport and races. Then, we ask about how people who attend this platform appropriate coaching techniques to manage emotions, moods, and body effects according to the business entrepreneurship logic. Through this work, the ethnographic results are articulated with a reflection about the theory, practice, and values of the ontological coaching, wher…
