El ecosistema mediático es una metodología de investigación propuesta por Neil Postman y Marshall McLuhan en 1971, con su consolidación a partir de conceptos sólidos presentados en 1979. Sin embargo, presenta conceptos transversales a otros estudios sobre medios, muchos de ellos desarrollados por teóricos que actualizaran, o construyeron conceptos que sostienen una nueva ecología de los medios. El artículo presenta una actualización de estas miradas a partir de una investigación que tiene como metodología ...

In recent decades, the scientific study of complex systems (Bar-Yam 1997; Mitchell 2009) has demanded a paradigm shift in our worldviews (Gershenson et al. 2007; Heylighen et al. 2007). Traditionally, science has been reductionistic. Still, complexity occurs when components are difficult to separate, due to relevant interactions. These interactions are relevant because they generate novel informationwhich determines the future of systems. This fact has several implications (Gershenson 2013).

In this work we report on modeling the demand for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico, followed by the optimization of the location of the ambulances for the Red Cross of Tijuana (RCT), which is by far the largest provider of EMS services in the region. We used data from more than 10,000 emergency calls surveyed during the year 2013 to model and classify the demand for EMS in different scenarios that provide different perspectives on the demand throughout the city, ...

Garlic (Allium sativum) has been used in alternative medicine to treat several diseases, such as cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and hepatic diseases. Several publications have highlighted other features of garlic, including its antibacterial, antioxidative, antihypertensive, and antithrombotic properties. The properties of garlic result from the combination of natural compounds that act synergistically and cause different effects. Some garlic-derived compounds have been studied ...

testing preference where the most frequent reason for preferring home-based testing was "sleeping in one's own bed" (4, 5).We also found that PAP adherence did not differ by PAP initiation strategy, consistent with clinical trial results (6, 7).This is reassuring given concerns that durable medical equipment support for home-based initiation in the real world is lower than what has been provided in clinical trials.However, we did find that adherence was significantly lower among patients who had PAP ...

Graphene is the most attractive 2D nanomaterial with interesting applications from smart coating to high frequency electronics. Its production through liquid exfoliation of graphite in suitable solvents is the most practical approach to prepare graphene dispersions. In recent years, the production of graphene through a short sonication time has attracted huge attention, trying to find a balance between the quality and cost. However, little is known about how the technical parameters (solvent type, ...

Understanding macrophage biology can improve comprehension of diverse biological processes and provide insights into novel therapeutic immunomodulatory strategies. Due to limited yield and technical difficulty in isolating primary macrophages, in vitro studies commonly use monocytes as precursor cells. Monocytic cell lines are a virtually unlimited source of macrophage precursors and two of the most frequently used cell lines are THP-1 and U937. Besides a great variability in macrophage differentiation ...

Next, the olives were cured with brine at 10% sodium chloride concentration. During this curing process, the loss of reducing sugars from, and the diffusion of sodium chloride into the olives was quantified. Effective diffusion coefficients of both solutes in the skin and the flesh were calculated for this period ...

In addition to anti-TB agents, treatment with steroids is used to modulate the inflammatory response. However, a paradoxical deterioration may follow.3,–,5 The most likely explanation is an enhanced delayed-type hypersensitivity response, leading to activation and accumulation of lymphocytes and macrophages at the site of bacillary deposition, ...

We found that relativistic effects largely enhance the nuclear charge-distribution effects (NChDE) on those parameters being them quite sensitive to the nuclear model adopted for calculations.

Abstract: Chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) cells show expression of BCL‐X L , an anti‐apoptotic oncogene. This expression is induced by BCR‐ABL protein kinase through activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription‐5 protein (STAT5). To date, however, the contribution of BCL‐X L and STAT5 to the transforming phenotype in CML is still unclear. This study was aimed at defining the status of activated STAT5 and BCL‐X L expression and their relation to BCR‐ABL rearrangement in CML ...

Despite the fundamental importance of the redox metabolism of mitochondria under normal and pathological conditions, our knowledge regarding the transport of vitamin C across mitochondrial membranes remains far from complete. We report here that human HEK-293 cells express a mitochondrial low-affinity ascorbic acid transporter that molecularly corresponds to SVCT2, a member of the sodium-coupled ascorbic acid transporter family 2. The transporter SVCT1 is absent from HEK-293 cells. Confocal colocalization ...
