Endocervical Canal

Women with an abnormal Pap smear are often referred to colposcopy, a procedure during which endocervical curettage (ECC) may be performed. ECC is a scraping of the endocervical canal lining. Our goal was to compare the performance of a naïve Poisson (NP) regression model with that of a zero-inflated Poisson (ZIP) model when identifying predictors of the number of distress/pain vocalizations made by women undergoing ECC. Data on women seen in the colposcopy clinic at a medical school in El Paso, Texas, were analyzed. The outcome was the number of pain vocalizations made by the patient during ECC. Six dichotomous predictors were evaluated. Initially, NP regression was used to model the data. A high proportion of patients did not make any vocalizations, and hence a ZIP model was also fit and relative rates (RRs) and 95% CIs were calculated. AIC was used to identify the best model (NP or ZIP). Of the 210 women, 154 (73.3%) had a value of 0 for the number of ECC vocalizations. NP identified three statistically significant predictors (language preference of the subject, sexual abuse history and length of the colposcopy), while ZIP identified one: history of sexual abuse (yes vs no; adjusted RR=2.70, 95% CI 1.47 to 4.97). ZIP was preferred over NP. ZIP performed better than NP regression. Clinicians and epidemiologists should consider using the ZIP model (or the zero-inflated negative binomial model) for zero-inflated count data.

En este artículo se propone valorar las formas, prácticas y propuestas que las comunidades indígenas han elaborado en función de sus proyectos de educación propia, como resultado de presiones y luchas ante el modelo de educación oficial. La historia de implementación de la educación en las comunidades indígenas ha sido la negación de sus idiomas y formas culturales a partir del modelo de educación evangelizadora, republicana y estandarizada. Los cambios en ese camino muestran el paso de la etnoeducación a la educación propia indígena, que se reconoce en Colombia gracias a la Constitución de 1991 y a las luchas de las comunidades por transformar el modelo institucionalizado de educación, al proponer una educación que reconozca los principios culturales, los idiomas, las lógicas otrasde los pueblos indígenas. Los aportes de los pueblos Nasa y Misak en el departamento del Cauca demuestran la riqueza de cómo se viene investigando, indagando y tratando de fortalecer una propuesta educativa desde las comunidades. THE PATH OF EDUCATION OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES IN THE DEPARTMENT OF CAUCA, COLOMBIA:from ethnoeducation to own education ABSTRACTThe purpose of this article is to discuss the practices and proposals of education projects that indigenous communities have elaborated, against the official education model. The history of implementation of education in indigenous communities has been the negation of their languages and cultural forms based on the evangelizing, republican and standardized education model. The changes in this path show the passage from ethnoeducation to indigenous education itself, recognized in the 1991 Constitution. The contributions of the Nasa and Misak peoples in the department of Cauca demonstrate the way that they are trying to strengthen an educational proposal from the communities.Key-words: Ethnoeducation. Own education. Accompaniment. Recognition of differences. Knowledge relationships.

El artículo siguiente atiende el estudio de la obra Monarquía de España, compuesta por el jurista y canónigo de la catedral de Toledo, Pedro Salazar de Mendoza, fechada entre 1597 y 1599, aunque publicada finalmente en 1770. En sus páginas, se ofrece una historia de España desde la llegada de Túbal hasta el reinado de Felipe II, en la que se perciben respuestas a las principales cuestiones identitarias que afectaban a la monarquía en el paso al siglo XVII: desde la consolidación de un pasado mítico unido al relato veterotestamentario hasta la importancia de los godos en la conformación política de Hispania. Sin embargo, el aspecto más relevante de la obra es un planteamiento de la monarquía partiendo de los reinos jurídicamente vinculados al rey Felipe II, entre los que destaca Castilla, como un reino con una iurisdictio propia bien distinguible. La apelación al pasado castellano es el mejor ejemplo del tipo de monarquía que buscaba describir en un momento de cambio y reforma de la misma. Algo que engarza con el objetivo de nuestro trabajo respecto a la identificación de diferentes identidades en la Monarquía hispánica. AbstractThe article studies the work Monarquía de España, written in 1597-1599 by Pedro Salazar de Mendoza, a jurist and canon of the Cathedral of Toledo, which was not published until 1770. The book tells the history of Spain from the arrival of Tubal during the Philip II’s reign, developing the most historiographical problems which affected to the Monarchy in the step into XVIIth century. In this project, his consideration of the mythical past, Chaldean origins, will be analysed, together with references to his reflexion about Goths in the historical constitution of Hispania. But, it is mostly interesting to study a history of the Monarchy from the kingdoms’ perspective. In this point, he emphasizes the role of Castile as a kingdom with its own laws and an independent past, exalting a political culture from Castile that has been usually ignored by historiography.

The Lakeshore ore body is in Pinal County, Arizona about 30 miles south of Casa Grande. In February, 1969 when the latest figures were published, the ore reserves were reported at 241 million tons of disseminated sulfide ore (0.7 percent copper) and 24 million tons of concentrated metallic ore (1.69 percent copper). Sulfide copper ore was first intersected in July, 1967 in Hole P‐3. The magnetite‐pyrite‐chalco‐pyrite mineralization occurred in a banded tactite at a depth of 1147 ft. Hole P‐3 was the fourth of several holes that were drilled to determine the source of an induced polarization anomaly that had been outlined, at depth, to the west of the old Lakeshore pit. The successful conclusion of this exploration program by El Paso Natural Gas Company is an excellent example of an integrated exploration approach. The application of regional geological planning, geophysical methods, and detailed geological reasoning resulted in the discovery of a major copper ore body. Due to the depth of the ore zone and the disseminated character of most of the ore, the only geophysical technique that was useful in the direct detection of the ore mineralization was the induced polarization method. Field measurements were made sporadically between August, 1966 and July, 1968. Variable‐frequency induced‐polarization measurements, made using the dipole‐dipole electrode configuration and electrode intervals from 300 ft to 1000 ft, successfully indicated the presence of the metallic mineralization at depth and gave some indication of its extent. Comparisons of the induced polarization data and the appropriate geological sections give information concerning the usefulness of the method.

En este artículo nos adentramos en la figura del piloto en la Edad Moderna, etapa en donde transcurrió el paso del arte de navegar a la navegación astronómica científica. En donde el piloto fue una figura clave en la gran transformación que sufrió la navegación marítima en ese periodo tan importante de la historia de la ciencia, pasando en su profesión del conocimiento intuitivo, al empírico y finalmente al especulativo. Para ello, se abordan el estamento de procedencia, las competencias técnicas que debía reunir en el ejercicio de la profesión, así como su consideración técnica. Finalmente presentamos como el estamento social al que pertenecía, condicionó su desarrollo social, profesional y técnico. In this article, we examine the figure of the Piloto in the Modern Age, the period in which took place the swap from sailing as a flair to the scientific and astronomical navigation. At such a very important time in the history of science, The Piloto had an essential role in the great transformation suffered by maritime navigation. Navigational knowledge, formerly based on the intuition, moved first to the empiric knowledge and finally to the speculative, what implied a step forward in his career. To this end, in the abstract, it is tackled his initial social status, the technical capabilities he should hold to develop his job, as well as his technical consideration. Eventually, we show how the social condition which he belonged to, determined his social, professional and technical development.
