In Táchira heartbeat scarce resources are controlled by the experts confirmed




technological advances in heart disease relegated
life expectancy
Every two seconds in the world someone dies as a result of heart disease, according to World Health Organization ( WHO)

María José Aguilar / mjaguilar5@gmail.com
technologies for diagnosis and treatment of heart disease in Venezuela, and consequently in Táchira insufficient in terms of progress compared to other countries like Spain, which since the birth of a baby and even inside the uterus can be diagnosed and treated for diseases such as congenital heart disease.

In Tachira state has not been carried out heart transplants because of lack of proper equipment, because it is a type of operation that requires optimum facilities, medical personnel and equipment necessary to care for and maintain the patient before, during and after surgery of this type. The country

few hospitals that perform heart transplants for adults and children. The case of Latin American Children's Cardiology Hospital Dr. Gilberto Rodríguez Ochoa, located in Caracas, has been operating since 2006 and only until this year are process for conducting these operations in infants since the lack of human resources and medical equipment were not performed.

As technology in heart operations, which have not been made in Venezuela and throughout Latin America, as published on the Web site of El Nacional, "connected in Uruguay's first artificial heart outside a woman." Had heart failure, and this artificial heart device (biventricular) applied on September 3 will keep alive until the transplant. Evolution
medical

However, despite the fact that in Tachira state operations are not carried out as tough as heart transplants, in some form or another in recent years, medical teams have been modified by others with better technology. Thus Yanitza Vázquez, Specialist Cardiologist electrocardiogram Andean Heart Foundation (Fundacor) states that "the existing state of the art equipment, and there Fundacor some, but we are waiting for others."

necessary medical devices found in Fundacor Electrocardiograms are treated, to visualize the structure of the heart valves, "" This is the workhorse of the cardiologist, because it tells us how he is the heart, "said Vazquez. Moreover, it is the stress test, which consists of a treadmill and from there measure heart rate, and there are other teams such as Holter arrhythmia and blood pressure.

Similarly, CT scans are done performing catheterizations avoided, since they require hospitalization while concerned to assess the coronary system, while a scan is performed in an office ignoring the patient's residence to the hospital grounds. Technology


tachirense The Universidad Nacional Experimental del Tachira (UNET) in the laboratory of Bioengineering, both teachers as students of the University are currently undertaking a project that relates to the diagnosis of heart disease through images taken by a scanner, then through an operating system can be modified in three dimensions.

The coordinator of this project, Computer Engineering and professor José Clemente UNET stressed the importance of this type of technology required to reduce diagnosis time and cost while also improving the patient's condition since non-invasive, short time can perform this type of examination.

"The doctor also benefit from this type of software, because with less sophisticated equipment needed four or five days to analyze and evaluate the results, but with this new procedure will immediately see the flaws that exist in every part of the heart, "said Clemente.

This mechanism is being tested by placing filters in the scanner images, causes the cardiac specialist can select the part of the structure of the heart that he wants to or not immediately able to detect any abnormality .

Also, with the aim of creating a comfort to the patient and avoid invasive procedures, the investigator of the Group of Bioengineering, UNET, Juan Mantilla is developing a portion of the heart as it is the left ventricle in three dimensions to study at any length the major human organ movements.

"Every part of the heart is removed, the left ventricle is the most studied, and to transform it into three dimensions by the intensity of the movements of the heart is assigned a certain color to facilitate the study" said blanket. This is how blue is used to distinguish the slightest movements, and the green movement and stronger contractions.


In order to increase project coordinator Augusto Gonzalez Cardiovascular, Renal and Endocrine-Metabolic (Caremt) Táchira, major cardiac pathology in the State are hypertension and congenital malformations and stroke, "this is due to poor nutrition of the people, by eating foods high in fat and salt," said González .

Hypertension according to figures provided by the Health Corporation of Tachira (Corposalud), are among the 10 leading causes of death in the state, recorded in 2007 a total of 10,946 consultations with patients with this type of disease, with a rate of about 947.00.

González explains that this problem is increasing, " why are emphasizing education in the population, to learn to eat healthy, exercise and maintain a comprehensive care without waiting to reach the doctor when it is too late to control both a high and to avoid a congenital malformation children from pregnancy. " Food habits


To determine the eating habits of Tachira was an opinion poll 12 people distributed between the Barrio Obrero sector and the center of the city of San Cristobal, of which only three respondents equivalent to 25 % include in your daily diet foods that are included in the food pyramid, as proteins, minerals, vitamins, and carbohydrates in a balanced way.

while 42% do not know how to classify foods into the categories of proteins, carbohydrates and vitamins, so they do not know if consumed daily. On the other hand, with regard to smoking habit d food intake or seven people (58%) have this lifestyle, with only 25% do not have any vices (three people).

Similarly, for a balance between food intake, excess alcohol consumption and smoking, a question was formulated to determine the amount of exercise practiced by tachirenses respondents as the incorporation healthy food and exercises help maintain optimal health in children, youth and adults.

Thus, as 25% of respondents who happen to be three people perform daily exercises like walking, like other 25% is exercised on a monthly basis without taking a permanent routine. And 33% (four) almost never do physical activity that allows them to maintain Pamper your body.

Within steps of the Food Guide Pyramid incorporating various food groups that need to consume on a daily fat, minerals, protein, vitamin, and simple carbohydrates and complex. However, many individuals are unaware indispensable method and obviates the exaggerated proportions in most cases.

Therefore, only two respondents (17%) of 12 in total daily prefer eating salad with different vegetables, but 33% with four people responded that candy is a type of food that stays in your intake daily, like excessive consumption of pasta, with five to 42% of respondents included before any other food.

Despite owning some technology in Táchira and having the support from small places like the universities to raise a significant advance in heart disease are still inadequate, which in many cases provide a life expectancy is on a scale, counting on one hand with economic and material resources, and other medical equipment.

Somehow the medical development will thrive, especially in cases that would not only have special equipment to diagnose, but also for surgical operations, and will treat patients, while the tachirense should be educated to lead a balanced diet combined with exercise and proper lifestyle, pregnant women, children, men and seniors.

The Táchira not prepared for an earthquake

Melissa Gomez Di Tomaso. CI 17,930,105

earthquakes has existed n long before the appearance of the s are human, these movements also known as earthquakes, are releases of energy caused by the collision of tectonic plates.

Venezuela has experienced serious disasters in terms of earthquakes, recalling the strongest case in New Toledo, which is now known as Cumana, in 1530. Which was recorded with an intensity of 7.3 on the Richter scale, and IX to X on the Mercalli scale, which means that was considered as dilapidated to fatal. This earthquake originated a tsunami with waves up to seven meters high, and is listed as the first tsunami in Latin America.

Other earthquakes have left their mark in the country, as well known as Cuatricentenario earthquake of Caracas, which is listed as the fifth most intense quake registered in Venezuela, but is remembered for having occurred in the celebration of 400 years of the city, leaving behind more than 230 dead and 2000 injured, approximately.

Táchira has also undergone important movements, the strongest recorded was that of Santa Cruz de Mora, which took place on April 28, 1984, this was the epicenter Merida state, but affect many areas of the Táchira and is considered as the strongest, with an intensity of 7.3 on the Richter scale.

The most significant is perhaps the tachirenses Lobatera earthquake, as a result of this community is created, today part of Michelena, occurred on 26 February 1849, and recorded a 7 MM in the scale of Mercalli.


"Earthquakes are cyclical, at any time is expected to return a strong movement to Táchira" explains Juan Carlos Osorio, who is part of the planning division and risk management of Civil Protection of Táchira, so it is very important that people are prepared. An earthquake can not predict or anticipate exactly, but if you can educate people to know how to react and what to do before, during and after the earthquake to avoid leaving injured, goes on to explain Osorio.

Civil Protection in Tachira is not only the rescue efforts during a disaster such as an earthquake, but at this time made speeches on education, planning and operations to prepare community because, as explained Armando Delgado, also a member of the planning division and risk management of Táchira Civil Protection, the state is in a seismic zone number four, because it affects Boconó failure preceded Sucre, Caracas and Miranda, Trujillo and Merida.

Earthquakes are unpredictable, continue to explain the two members of Civil Protection, so the institution is working "27 hours a day, 8 days a week" in order to have a maximum response time of 10 minutes after any disaster. It should be noted that what causes damage and injury during an earthquake are misplaced objects or unsecured, any ornament that more than five feet above the ground and not attached to the wall is a danger in case of an earthquake, and against that we we can do nothing, say these members of PC, is something every person should in their own home.

This institution is giving talks in the communities they wish, anyone interested in applying information can go directly to their facility located off the arena and make the chat application in your school, community college or company.

Civil Protection has a seismograph, which records earthquakes of San Cristobal, this is constantly searching movements, since the city is in constant motion through the discharge of energy, human beings do not perceive these movements that are milder and less than 3 points on the Richter scale.

For its part, the firefighters of San Cristóbal municipality have also carried out educational work regarding seismic concerns matter. Not only giving lectures in different institutions who want it, but carrying out mock earthquakes, creating evacuation plans for people to know exactly where to go and how.

José Elias Varela, assistant sergeant training and technology department of professional Fire Department said that any institution or company, public or private, can go directly to the headquarters of the firefighters of San Cristobal and request a chat at no charge a qualified group organized the event and approximately 20 days after completion of the lecture will be held the drill. It tells the story of a mall of more than 400 employees conducted the drill, no audience, and within 4 minutes had emptied the entire installation, which leads to this sergeant to conclude that the talks are really coming to the public.

The main objective of these activities, Varela goes on to explain, is that people who receive the transmitted information in their homes or communities who become teachers in their environments, these conversations enable people to enable them knowledge to other places. With this in mind, Sergeant Varela organized for this October 24th a talk at the virtual classroom for 45 municipal police officers firefighters, delivered by Ben Quintero, FUNVISIS officer, to train instructors in the area seismology that can train others.

"The Táchira not prepared for an earthquake, but we are starting up now, as companies and institutions have been more interested in this issue," says Varela.

On the other hand, Professor Hector Maldonado, a professor at the Universidad de Los Andes (ULA) core Táchira, who is line of research themes of geography, environment, health and society, says ULA that is not even close to being prepared for an earthquake.

The ULA Force not doing enough to teach students about these issues of environment, says Maldonado, there is only one chair, which is a program of environment, health and society, which is seen as optional in the 5th year of Social Communication and sometimes students do not attend, Maldonado believes that the problem is the lack of interest of society in meeting these issues.

Another important point of the ULA, goes on to explain, is the danger of the infrastructure, there is no adequate emergency exits, but until this year that were built ramps for both buildings, formerly the dining room was maintained with a single door open, and could have more than 200 students inside, which would no way out at the time of an emergency.

The authorities of both the ULA and Venezuela, do not take preventive measures, waiting for disasters to occur to act on solutions and not have policies appropriate education for society, says the professor of the ULA.

The theme of the earthquakes in Tachira is very important, since it is something that can happen at any time, and people should be properly informed and educated on how to must act before, during and after an earthquake, Tachira are not prepared to act in an emergency of this kind, experts say, Civil Protection, Fire and educators focused on this area.

Rafael Labrador, a passion for research


Rafael Labrador, a surgeon specializing in neurosurgery from a very you age your mprana interest has research was beyond any science or any field, research has been what has motivated this tachirense to get ahead, to make an advanced degree, masters and even doctoral degrees.

native of the city's friendliness, San Cristóbal, this doctor decides, from a very early age that his passion would be research, graduate school once the search begins in college, studying for a semester of engineering and later became a medicine, which falls the variety of areas and disciplines but especially for the opportunity to develop as a researcher.

His studies

Labrador began studying medicine at the Universidad de Los Andes (ULA) Mérida core, since the time the school had not yet opened in the city of San Cristobal, in which attends the first three years, for the last two, known as the clinical years, returns to his hometown, where he practices in the Central Hospital of San Cristobal. Once graduated as a surgeon working for a year as a country doctor, in various towns and villages of Táchira.

In 1992 he presents the opportunity for a graduate in Spain, decides to leave and started studying at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwhich obtained his MA and PhD in "Neuromicro surgery" and "Neuro physiology. In 1996, he returned to Venezuela and worked for two years as a resident physician in the Social Security Hospital in San Cristobal.

As a professional

In 1998 he went to work as a teacher and researcher at the core ULA Táchira, drawing on their studies, both in surgery and in neuro neuromicro physiology focuses its research in the multidisciplinary neuroscience.


Dr. Labrador is currently the director of a new research group at the ULA Táchira, the bio-medical research, and with two other active researchers in this case Dr. Urban and Dr. Gloria Ilse Santiago, are the smallest research group recognized by the Council for Scientific and Technological Humanistic (CDCHT).
For

when focusing on two lines of active research, the first is to repair and neural plasticity, which focuses on peripheral nerve tissue injury, this research takes approximately eight years, maybe a little more, in 2002 published part of the research and expected later this year to publish another.

The second human reliability, the study focused on the behavior of groups, this research have only three years. On the other hand, they also expect that this year or next two researchers to join the group

Personally

In his spare time this doctor researcher passionate about music, sports and arts, in the latter studied at the college of fine arts in San Cristobal, however, due to the occupations of everyday life is more than six years without practice. As for the music, more passionate about listening to practice it, however, can play the harmonic minor percussion instruments such as guitar and cuatro.

Of his hobbies, as they are called today, marking the pattern in his life without hesitation was the sport, in its case: the football. Since very little practiced in the Andean chicken children's teams and the laboratory Photo of the West, once in college is part of the selection of the ULA, then summon him to play Juvin, placing it at a fork in your life, continue their medical studies or engage in soccer ? decides to explore and leave the sport as a distraction and not as a career for the future. Even so, today belongs to the selection of football hall of the College of Physicians and the ULA Táchira, soccer and field selection of the ULA.

In the future

portion of the surgery and was left out, has more than two years without any intervention, since the course of his career has been more theoretical, but despite that, is waiting for a new project that goes along with the Simon Bolivar University and the Institute for Scientific Research (IVIC), which is expected in Venezuela prosthesis occurring titanium and other materials for surgical procedures, with a whole new technology that is not yet implemented in the country. The theoretical part will be handled directly in Caracas, while the biological tests will be conducted in San Cristobal.
º Rafael Labrador is a man passionate about what they do, both in medicine and research, has no retirement plans since it has so only 10 years practicing, however, at this point thinks that will stop teaching these disabled and even so, it will investigate.

For the anthropologist and sociologist, Otto Rosales

"The construction of knowledge in freedom is inherent in human beings"

anthropologist, sociologist, researcher and currently a professor at the Universidad de Los Andes-Táchira (ULA) hosts a radio, a passion for music and writing, has sought throughout his career innovation and connecting different areas of knowledge


María José Aguilar
mjaguilar5@gmail.com

Otto Jesus Rosales Cárdenas connoisseur of Social Science, will face cteriza as someone irreverent and rebellious at the time of youth, their ideal fighter looking for novelty in their research, and its work as a teacher. Dominant character but over the years and by their need to innovate, bowed and converted a number of strategies in teaching and in their family life with their four children and two grandchildren. Creative and bold, but peaceful and relaxed time to talk and express their experiences.
A monotonous
province in the 50's in the city of Tachira state Capacho was a quiet town without many things to do, and much more for a child who began to raise some concerns for learn new games and have fun in any way without the presence of television. That was Otto Rosales, who spent his childhood in this town, which as he says "in those years the people were dull and boring."
However, walking and going to the river belonged to the distractions that Rosales performed as a child. Thanks to the profession of his mother, teacher, commonly grouped six children in reading circles, leaving the freedom to create and invent new games with words like riddles. This marked a substantial step in educating the sociologist Rosales, since it becomes the mistress of the readings, which later in secondary education at the Lyceum "Simon Bolivar" are affirmed.
At the university, manages to identify with their interests feeling freer to contribute and build ideas, "the games are key to a society, there could channel this freedom to create, that be expanded in college, and served to experience them later in my lectures, "said Rosales. The reading was latent, and the text "Discipline and Punish" the Frenchman Michel Foucault helped him see otherwise sociology, and read from other perspectives.
Connecting speeches
The college student's life after leaving Rosales confusion of teenagers in high school, started at the Central University of Venezuela (UCV), initiated by the Sociology for make a connection of the various speeches made in other sciences such as anthropology, Literature, from culture and the everyday experiences of human beings. Though his wish was studying philosophy at the Central University of Bogotá, by problems with the Faculty of that race went back to his homeland, Venezuela.

When meeting with friends at a time immersed in the 60 and 70, which Rosales calls it "an effervescence of youth groups, with an opening to the free forms of sexuality, drugs and independence, "he decided to settle in Caracas, leaving his home in San Cristobal to start at the UCV.

were the years of 1970 - 1972 where this university was facing a crisis in its structure led by the government of Rafael Caldera, which suffered a series of raids and protests over the seizure of control, disrupting the operation of the UCV for some years. And is there in the middle of this problem that Rosales enters this house of study, entering easily as many of the youth of the time for being left out of the troubled country.

dense It
freshness
Sociology in the first stage of university teaching and research of Rosales, began in a "radical" as he says, because UCV in forms of learning were theoretical and inflexible, stifling the student to extensive reading, with one author, "read Marx and power were almost forced a nuisance," said Rosales. This does reflect the sociologist and anthropologist to find new teaching strategies that years later, follow in his teaching career at the University of Los Andes-Táchira.

Rosales begins to realize that these structures to training that began in the first schools of social sciences have little to do with life, with the everyday, where the researcher begins as "a rebellion individual, looking for other things, to study Theology, Literature, and Art ", taking several seminars to enable it to expand their knowledge to connect the essence of each of these disciplines.

addition, for UCV those years had a range of many teachers as important as the philosopher and poet Ludovico Silva and Venezuelan anthropologist Efrain Hurtado and Mario Sanoja and other social science that combined the art, music, anthropology, culture, and philosophy, offering a "variety and mix of knowledge, which served to start my first line of investigation, Anthropology with narratives, understood as verbal forms, discursive and coexistence of man, "he said.

Building from reality speeches
These connections arising from its beginnings in college, and the various teachings of iconic characters from the Social Sciences in Venezuela, both in lectures and in practical field Rosales allowed to feel real, to find and build from reality, "formed in freedom," he said.

From there, the specifics of your preferences in investigations ranging from the symbolism of the body, the various oral forms of human discourse, genres, locations of people, focusing on the functionality of Venezuelan society, which is an aspect that attracts more important because for him this society "is marked and easy to fragile structures, characterized by dependency and so abrupt changes."

However, youth is one of the indicators taken into account when considering a research project. Since the beginning of his career was the concern of connecting Rosales explains it as "young people with everyday forms of speech social, for from sociology to build theories and not just talk about them. "

From the classroom
For the years 79 and 80 Rosales looks to expand its expertise to European countries, but for economic reasons was not allowed to travel, this was not an impediment to continue, so go back to San Cristobal on a vacation when you receive a job offer in an institution at that time attached to the Ministry of Infrastructure (Minfra). There he worked five years in which their research ranging from local to oral, leading to studies of people and communities.

later joined as teacher in-ULA Táchira, allowing you to focus and channel their research, combining the studies of local and oral from communities with young people in various field practices as conducted in the last 90 years in the Copper, to identify and create a community through them, "was very encouraging experience, because it allowed locating key areas, and ask how were these young people and how they saw this community," said Rosales.

The sociologist and anthropologist in search of inventiveness and creativity, incorporates new chairs in the university as a community, conducting seminars and giving freedom to students to find new ways dl learning, connecting again what had been working in the institution, location and orality, to pass on to communities, then their chairs, thus transforming a wide experience of knowledge, which gave way to his first publications in journals and an MA in Literature.

In his student days deepened the authors for long periods, so Otto Rosales to serve as a teacher wanted to turn this "slow learning" as he points out, as their interests are the everyday small things, explore different authors and different areas of science to build in freedom. "

"My lectures are a wonderful chaos that we will gradually give way and everyone builds into an issue or proposed scheme." Film, literature, art, poetry, and numerous authors of various social theories are mixed to give rhythm and fluency to students, saying that in such a quiet appearance is a passionate being immersed in the madness, to create freely.

Moreover, the objective of going Rosales towards a cultural and symbolic anthropology, taking into account the local studies are medium-scale, because "it is no longer the problem of grand theories but of the smaller buildings that collapsed stories of the grand narratives are constructed within contexts of everyday life. "

"Young bodies and myths"
In an effort to merge their research, the sociologist and anthropologist currently Otto Rosales is working on a doctorate in Human Sciences in the city of Merida, returning to their projects and the great discussion of the myth, taking the body as a cultural element and to see young people as builders of discourses within the everyday.
"My background has always been connected with the ideas of novelty, looking structures from the everyday to create a new aesthetic, fractured, and transgressing from the investigation," said Rosales.

extravagant in their dress, yet relaxed and comfortable, a lover of wine, beer, music, college, teaching, without vices ends, friend, parent, with certain characteristics to individuality in their research, and with great sensitivity for the lives and societies, looking at this stage of his life away the chaos of the city of San Cristobal to go back to a quiet place like in its infancy.

Writer of several articles in a column for the newspaper La Nation, which hopes to be back on track, using a technique that identifies you as writing for a minute, "I write to be read in five minutes with only 25 lines. That is one of the exercises have not stopped loving, "said Rosales.

Dear by some and not so loved by others, Otto Rosales, is identified by its imposing character who has managed to radically transform their ways of teaching, from the hardness to the freshness and naturalness, varying the number of speeches to innovate the "archaic teaching. We must change these structures giving more freedom to the young combined with new technologies, "said Rosales.

However, pending these changes at the macro level this research by the Social Sciences, continues in the classroom and in their research projects with the interest to publish, to transmit their knowledge to more young people coming up with creative from what he reads in the world culturally, from the graffiti on the streets until the errors in grammar, and building speeches to enjoy it with fans and freedom.

Treating Ferrets With Sores

The Neurogastroenterology, discipline that connects the brain to the stomach

emotional reactions affect the functioning of the digestive
studies of individual relationships experienced since childhood are essential to determine the causes of gastrointestinal diseases, caused by irritable bowel syndrome


María José Aguilar

mjaguilar5@gmail.com

emerged 15 years in medicine a science that establishes the relationship between emotions and the body as they can affect the human body, it is the Neurogastroenterology. It also explains the presence of neurons in the intestinal tract and in the brain that are capable of causing crisis, or any other syndrome that affects the individual, recognized as one of the main irritable bowel syndrome.

Thus, the gastroenterologist Carlos Paez said at a news conference with students of Social Communication of the Universidad de Los Andes-Táchira, there are two types of brains, "one considered the enteral nervous system, which characterized by the relationship of brain and digestive tract, and central nervous system, which would the emotional brain tions. "


Paez continued to explain that the enteral nervous system consists of larger amounts of neurons with respect to the central nervous system, and also is responsible for producing symmetrical movements in the intestines, however, when people have emotional problems these movements are out of control with "asymmetric intestinal contractions," he said.


This irregular functioning digestive system causes irritable bowel syndrome according Paez is one of the major diseases that occur in Neurogastroenterology, where there are diarrhea or constipation, pain and anxiety disorders, not necessarily only due to a stomach problem caused by poor food intake, but emotional behaviors that adversely affect this part of the body.

"The mind controls our emotions, react according to the environment, controlling our lives," said Paez. Thus, emotions are directly involved in the body of the person in crisis manifesting as fatigue, insomnia, anxiety, poor concentration or memory loss, and in turn ulcers, gastritis, hypertension, and gases.

These statements are regarded as psychosomatic illnesses, which recognizes Neurogastroenterology through communication with the patient. To do so, Paez said that to find an accurate diagnosis must be made "a story psychobiographers, referred to seek aspects of childhood that are reflected in adulthood, and can be considered emotional trauma as a victim of sexual abuse. "
emotional traumas generate anxiety disorders, cognitive and physiological and compulsive behavior of cigarette smokers and intake of certain kinds of foods, negative thoughts, tachycardias and constant sweating.

Similarly, the stress is emotional, alters the nerves and acts directly with the brain, by excess secretion of the hormone adrenaline does not produce antibodies or altering the immune defenses of the person, so it is weak and may suffer from any illness.
Paez said that doctors often do not determine the cause and the exact problem, since "they do not speak with patients, perform only an endoscopy, but to clarify one of the most common syndromes such as irritable bowel, there to have the art of communicating. "
People usually tend to deny their problems, "it is important to communicate to help you recognize and accept what ails them, be aware of the disorders," said Paez. The Neurogastroenterology can be considered a therapy that seeks to provide a response to patients of their ailments were determined by using doctor-patient communication diagnosis and appropriate treatment, either drugs or a change in eating habits.

How Often Do Nhl Players Get New Gear

involving 21 projects scientists at the UNET V

biodegradable plastic that avoids the danger of environmental sustainability

are incorporated in this edition Award of new ideas aimed at the music category and the environment, in addition to the existing and Technical Innovation, Social and Process Design and Improvement


María José Aguilar

"Learn Four in a 2x3" "Paths of Carabobo", "Tree Project: community and educational project of tree planting," "interactive Geography," "ECOTECH, educational tool," "educational program to encourage the recycling habit children in special education "and" Bioplastic, Biodegradable plastic " Are some of the 21 papers presented by students of various races on the premises of the University experimetal del Tachira (UNET) contestants for the prize ideas that seeks to promote research and reward innovation in the work of these students.

In one of the new categories such as the environment is the project of "Bioplastic, Biodegradable plastic, created by Manual Rendon, Gabriel Hernández Camps and students Dirley career Unet Environmental Engineering, in order generate a feasible measure to eradicate the environmental pollution from the accumulation of plastic waste in place risk the proper functioning of the ecosystem.

For one of its creators, Manuel Rendon said, "This idea combines durability with versatility, since it must be borne in mind that plastic is a material harmful to nature because it takes about 1200 years to decompose into small particles, causing pollution in the environment. "For this reason, the accumulation of plastic will be in an unbalanced way in the future as in some 100 years according to international experts will be launched at sea or in space.

time research for the project was completed in two years dealing with both the theoretical and practice, using various scientific tests to determine the viability of the product created. So Rendón said "mixed plastic biodegradable polymers with synthetic polymers derived from the crude, capturing the property of the first biodegradable polymer and the strength of the second synthetic polymer. The idea was to synthesize these features to create the proposed plastic. "

Similarly, members of the project was coordinated by specialist teachers in chemistry from UNET subjecting them to laboratory tests, so Rendón said "we worked with high temperatures polymerisation process, scientific experiments that after we check our main objective, classifying it as a thermoplastic material. " It can replace 95% of commercial plastic applications, the commonly used in all parts of general use as domestic, for a biodegradable plastic that can contribute to the environment.

The biodegradation period of this plastic is 10 to 25 years in nature, allowing the disposal of these wastes in a smaller range of time the commercial plastic, which takes 1200 years. Also, after testing these students found that biodegradable is able to resist the action of substances such as gasoline, alcohol, chlorine, diesel and tinner, making it more resistant than others.


On the other hand, according to Ángel Gil, a member of the organizing committee Ideas Award "The goal is for students to participate and go Unet each edition incorporating new students in careers, as this is an award provides a platform for national awards including the Eureka Prize, which in 2007 succeeded in obtaining five awards of the seven projects registered . "Any project can be presented to participate, just have a requirement for feasibility and relevant to the been providing benefits.

evaluation performed by a jury of 15 teachers of different races UNET which take into account creativity, innovation, idea, and the viability of the project, awarding the top three spots with the delivery of money, as well delivery of two special mentions, and Art and Environment Initiative.

Also, students of the "Bioplastic, Biodegradable plastic, expected to provide the advantages of the product to society, because it is composed of readily available materials that are economically low," that future marketing would viable because the costs not represent a disadvantage from the point of view, which favors the replacement of the plastic by other employees at present, "said Rendón.

"In the near future we will do a test to determine the polymers used in more specific applications and daily use and so needed to sell the intellectual property of plastic, and market," said Rendón. Therefore, research efforts are supported daily national and regional level, because they are created to meet needs not only in Táchira, but also internationally, providing solutions for both environmental, economic and social.

Prize Ideas The V edition of the Addiction

Geography interactive, fun tool for children


Melissa Gomez Di Tomaso / Melisiviris@hotmail.com

the days 02.03 and 04 July in the library of the University N ational Experimental del Tachira (UNET) will be taking out the V edition Contest Prize Ideas ", which is a initiative that seeks to create a culture of innovation in the population.


21 projects and 32 participants form the template for this year, all of these, except one, are students of this house of study, the various races, while only a young man comes UNEFA of Carabobo, and since it is pursuing a free chair UNET has the right to participate in this contest.


The award is based on 3 main categories, social innovation, technical innovation and process improvement, this year special feature 2, which are for art and environment initiative, and 3 honorable mentions, which can be distributed in any major category. The awards are for major 2.000Bsf, 1.000Bsf for special categories and 750Bsf for honors, as reported by Angel Gil, a member of the organizing committee of the competition.


Gil went on to explain that the winners will be chosen by a jury of 15 teachers of the UNET, of different races, which will have to assess aspects such as creativity, The report, presentation and above all, the feasibility of projects. The organizing committee consists of seven professors from the same university. After this event, the best projects, which will not necessarily be the winners-only will be nominated by the UNET the national competition "Eureka."


Among the projects presented, is that presented by Andreina Uzcategui and Luis Contreras, students of Computer Engineering, "Geography Interactive, dare to know Venezuela" which consists a multimedia tool that is aimed at children between 8 and 12 years (4th, 5th and 6th grade) to learn Venezuela.


"Children do not know the country and they want to know," said one of its creators, this is the reason that drives them to create this project. The idea is to use the constructivist pedagogy, children to create their own knowledge and break a little with the Venezuelan education scheme, which is conductive, that all information is mediated by the teacher and students must learn by rote, repeating over and over states and capitals, or the flora and fauna.


The tool is designed in adobe flash, and is divided into four sections, the first and foremost, is an overview of the states with their capitals , its flora, fauna, its major national parks, his shield and anthem, this section is very interesting, because in internet there is no page where you get all these data, we must investigate different, whereas with this tool concentrated in one place.


The second section of this interactive program is Venezuela in the world, in c ual children can learn about the countries bordering the Our well as the latitude where we stand. The third part is the most visited children, as is that of interactive games that will be varied and contain, for example, puzzle map of Venezuela, where the children should assemble the map sheets of the states, and will finalize the names, as well as the association of images, especially national parks, so that upon seeing a photograph associated know how and where park is located.


The last section is the test of knowledge, which will not be evaluated quantitatively, but will help the parent, teacher or the students themselves know what aspects are failing. With this tool does not aim to remove or replace the classes, but seek to complement them in a didactic way, to reinforce the skills being taught in the classroom.


software is not yet complete, its creators are working on it and hope to finish it and find ways to bring the schools to be implemented.

How Should My Cervix Feel Just Before My Period

ideas ... technology: a new disease

There are all kinds of addictions and dependencies, from drugs and alcohol to cleanliness and order, and in a changing world, in terms of technology expertise, to be informed and have the newest equipment or appliances, can cause Rather than a mere curiosity or whim, vulva is an addiction.


According to the Royal English Academy, an addiction is defined as: "The habit of who lets himself be dominated by the use of one or more toxic drugs, or the inordinate affection to certain games or behavior ( www.rae.es ). And in many cases, this obsessive attitude can be seen in friends, relatives or acquaintances, so it is important to know the topic to determine if you are in the presence a technology addict or if you yourself fall into this group.


Computers, cell phones, music players, kitchen utensils, home alarms, cameras and video recorders, televisions, video players, embedded systems of sound and nonsense like beverage coolers USB cable are now in stores, whether physical or virtual, and are artifacts by which addicted to technology they crave to the point of investing all their pay on them.


In the specific case of Tachira, Venezuela, being addicted to technology becomes an even more complicated, since the new technological inventions takes to get to local shops, and when these do, are no longer the latest or the most modern, therefore, these addicts are turning to Internet shopping or traveling to countries like U.S., Europe or some of the most innovative in technology, Asian countries like Japan .


Otto Rosales, a sociologist and professor at the Universidad de Los Andes (ULA), is the problem of addiction as "a new language that society has" and makes reference as any new language, you have to know and know how to handle it. The theme of technology you can not escape, since it is the future for all, but you have to know what the most appropriate way to treat it so I would not fall into total dependency.


In countries such as Venezuela, have to be extra careful when it comes to cutting edge technology, as it is believed that something is very new when it really is old in other countries, continues to explain Rosales. And sometimes, the perception of the use of these new techniques do not change with the speed of the media and use new technologies with old technology.


Táchira seen in the lot is the fascination with technology, says Rosales, there is a seduction for all that is new, the latest, who owns the latest technology will admired by those who can not buy, people are paralyzed and was surprised with this news.


In his opinion, we must be alert to all these new languages, because people still have not finished digesting them, and believe that we are not ready for such technology.


contrary position of Victor Riascos, who has devoted much of his life to be immersed in new technologies, working for many years in service, going to create their own digital media company, which currently is responsible for installing and maintaining computer equipment, home or business alarms, among other things, a certain part of the population of San Cristóbal.


admit an addiction is not easy, however, Riascos agree that I love being at the forefront of technology, know the newer laptops or home computers, cell phones that have not yet come to Venezuela, alarms that become new in a city like San Cristobal, including other things.


"I try to stay informed, it helps me make more sales to my clients, I have to show the last thing you bought in order to continue selling as new "Riascos said. In your business sells technology to those who are not as informed on their own, and the only way to bring these artifacts is Their possession, and can display the live action and not just images or video.


Every time you sell a new laptop before, which does not have a life greater than 2 or 3 months, but with the sale and a little more, he manages to buy the latest, the same goes with video cameras or photo. Since being an addict to technology is not economical.


This addiction, which years ago was not as strong as now, is growing at incalculable, since every day there are more facilities for equipment, and more companies take more products to the street. Our future is full of technological advances, can not escape, however, must be controlled at the time of the purchases, to avoid falling into addiction.
