El siglo de las luces : Historia de la fantasi´a

Huertas, Francisco Bermu´dez 서울大學校 스페인中南美硏究所 2007 이베로아메리카硏究 Vol.18 No.-

Las corrientes del pensamiento moderno europeo fueron determinantes en el devenir cultural de Ame´rica Latina y particularmente ejercieron gran influencia en la literatura del nuevo mundo. Sin embargo, todas las caracteristicas sociales, culturales y lingüi´sticas de Latinoame´rica, y para nuestro caso especi´fico de las Antillas, no se dejaron llevar completamente por estas nuevas formas de pensamiento que llegaban de un mundo comparativamente “ma´s civilizado” en el que se habi´an arraigado y ahora buscaban expandirse a nuevos horizontes. De esta manera, dichas tendencias y formas de pensamiento renacen en Ame´rica Latina a manera de combinacio´n de elementos de las dos partes del globo, desde luego, con marcada influencia de lo recie´n llegado del viejo mundo y originando en el campo literario una amalgama que dio nuevas luces de conocimiento e ilustracio´n a esta regio´n del mundo. La revolucio´n, la erudicio´n, el realismo ma´gico, lo maravilloso, la utopi´a, etc., encarnan elementos fijos que definen las nuevas formas y estructuras de la literatura del Nuevo Mundo originando un boom de la novela latinoamericana. En este escrito hacemos un analisis de la influencia que ejercieron dichas tendencias en la obra El siglo de las luces de Alejo Carpentier, escritor cubano que reflejo´ de manera expli´cita y que supo manejar con una habilidad ma´s que sorprendente toda esta gama de elementos literarios en sus novelas.

The Impact of Hurricanes on Investor Sentiment and Stock Market Returns

Daniel Huerta,Daniel Perez-Liston 사람과세계경영학회 2011 Global Business and Finance Review Vol.16 No.2

In this paper, we employ an event study methodology to examine the impact of hurricanes on investor sentiment and stock market returns. Our results show that there is a significant decrease in stock returns on the day hurricanes make landfall and one day prior. Additionally, we observe that not all industries are significantly impacted and that firms with large market capitalization are least impacted by hurricanes. Further, we find a significant increase in investor fear on the day of hurricane landfalls, and a significant decrease in investor sentiment during the week prior to landfalls. These results suggest that hurricanes and the anticipation of these storms have a negative and significant impact on both stock market returns and investor sentiment.

Metastasis Risk Reduction Related with Beta-Blocker Treatment in Mexican Women with Breast Cancer

Parada-Huerta, E,Alvarez-Dominguez, TP,Uribe-Escamilla, R,Rodriguez-Joya, JF,Ponce-Medrano, JA Diaz,Padron-Lucio, S,Alfaro-Rodriguez, A,Bandala, C Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2016 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.17 No.6

Background: Breast Cancer (BCa) is the most common malignant tumour in Mexican women. In BCa, several studies have linked ${\beta}2-adrenergic$ receptor activation with increased tumour growth and progression as related with Epinephrine-NorEpinephrine (E-NE) stimulation. The aim of this study was to describe Beta-Blocker (BB) treatment related with reduction of the risk of metastasis in Mexican patients with BCa. Materials and Methods: We collected data of 120 patients seen at the High-Specialty Naval General Hospital in Mexico City (HOSGENAES), all of these with a histopathological diagnosis of BCa. Four groups of patients were divided as follows: without Systemic Arterial Hypertension (SAH); with SAH treatment with non-selective BB; with SAH treatment with selective BB, and with SAH treatment with other antihypertensive drugs. Chi-square, Mantel-Haenszel, Student t, and ANOVA tests were performed for data analysis. Results: On average, patients were $54.8{\pm}11.8$ years of age. Risk factors such as smoking and consuming alcohol exhibited a frequency of 33 and 36.5% respectively. Clinical stages III- IV were found in 50% of patients, while, 30% of patients had arterial hypertension (n=29 and N=96, respectively) and 17.5% used BB. One hundred percent of patients with arterial hypertension treated with BB for ${\beta}1$ - and ${\beta}2$ -adrenergic-receptors did not present metastasis globally, but patients treated with ${\beta}1$ BB presented 30% of metastasis while patients treated with no BB or without SAH had around 70% of metastasis. Conclusions: In Mexican patients with BCa and SAH treated with non-selective (${\beta}1$- and ${\beta}2-adrenergic$ receptors) BB, a decrease in the risk for metastasis was observed at the time of diagnosis.

Impacto medioambiental y social del Glifosato en Colombia

Francisco Bermudez Huertas 한국외국어대학교 중남미연구소 2018 중남미연구 Vol.37 No.1

A part of the agreement between Colombia and the United States in the so called “Plan Colombia” has to do with combating narcotics production derived from the coca plant, particularly the cocaine. Most of the cocaine that reach the United States comes from South American countries, particularly Colombia where the fertile richness of its land is proper to proliferate tropical species such as coca and poppy which are used in medicine, but also serve as alkaloids that stimulate the nervous system of individuals. As a bilateral strategy to eradicate coca plantations in the Colombian soil, the two countries, Colombia and United States, have agreed to conduct sprays of phosphonomethylglycine, commonly known as “glyphosate”, a powerful herbicide that removes not only the coca plants but also crops grains such as soybeans, sorghum, corn and many others. Additionally, glyphosate used in high concentrations, affects water sources in rural areas of the Colombian countryside and therefore to the economy plunging farmers who grow their products in extreme poverty and also with the highest risk of get skin diseases and even cancer. This paper aims to show that glyphosate, even that is used with relatively safely in many countries of the world as a herbicide, is not the right way to combat illegal coca plantations in Colombia by the effects of overuse of herbicide generated in this particular tropical environment and its tremendous impact on the economy and welfare of the Colombian farmers who live in the regions where they carry out spraying. Therefore, the government of Colombia in coordination with the United States should seek a new strategy to combat coca plantations without having any impact on the environment and the local economy of the rural communities. This research has been divided in four parts. The first one is the Introduction where the problem of spraying and its environmental impacts are presented, the second one explains about glyphosate and its uses in agriculture fields, the third one shows figures and presents two specific cases resulting of glyphosate spraying and the forth one presents the conclusions of the research work.

El TLC entre Colombia y los Estados Unidos Analisis de las variables en juego

Los sistemas preferenciales arancelarios que los Estados Unidos de América otorgaron a la actual Comunidad Andina de Naciones CAN permitieron que por muchos años los países integrantes de dicho bloque económico se beneficiaran de bajos aranceles para poner sus productos en los mercados de la gran potencia mundial. Gracias a este beneficio arancelario de preferencias <Ley de Preferencias Arancelarias Andinas> la balanza comercial de varios de estos países, entre ellos Colombia, arrojó buenos resultados en el comercio bilateral con los Estados Unidos en la mayor parte del periodo de su vigencia. Pero este sistema de preferencias ha llegado a su fin, excepto algunos ítems que aún las mantienen por razones de control al narcotráfico, y las dos naciones buscan ahora el establecimiento de un tratado de libre comercio que permita mantener unas “relaciones comerciales equilibradas” entre las dos naciones. El 27 de febrero de 2006 se terminó el trabajo correspondiente y el tratado fue aprobado posteriormente por los dos gobiernos. Sin embargo, está pendiente su ratificación por parte del Congreso de los Estados Unidos, pues en el seno de esta corporación ha habido dificultades de orden político que obstaculizan la ratificación del tratado. El objetivo de esta investigación es presentar un análisis detallado de las principales variables que implican la puesta en marcha de este tratado, mostrando los aspectos favorables y las desventajas en la firma de este tratado entre una potencia económica y un país con una economía aún no desarrollada suficientemente para encarar un compromiso de esta índole.

Effect of 3,5-Diaminobenzoic Acid Content, Casting Solvent, and Physical Aging on Gas Permeation Properties of Copolyimides Containing Pendant Acid Groups

R.M. Huertas,E.M. Maya,J. de Abajo,J.G. de la Campa 한국고분자학회 2011 Macromolecular Research Vol.19 No.8

A series of copolyimides containing carboxylic acid groups have been prepared from 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) and two diamines, 2,4,6-trimethyl-1,3-phenylenediamine and bis(4-amino-3-isopropyl-5-methylphenyl)methane. Carboxylic acid groups were introduced using 3,5-diaminobenzoic acid (DABA) as a comonomer in different proportions in both series of polyimides. The polymers were fully characterized using spectroscopic and thermal analysis techniques. The gas permeation properties of the polymer films were investigated and the results were explained mainly by anhydride formation, which depended not only on the -COOH content, flexibility, and structure of the polymer chain but also on the thermal treatment of the membrane. Copolyimides with the lowest DABA content of both series showed the best permeation properties, particularly the copolyimide that contained 25% of acid units, which showed O_2, N_2, CH_4, and CO_2 permeability coefficients close to 40, 10, 7, and 145 barrers, respectively. The gas separation properties were evaluated using three different casting solvents, N-methylpyrrolidinone, tetrahydrofuran, and acetone. At the initial stage, large differences in permeability coefficients were obtained for each copolyimide. On the other hand, after 1,000 h aging at room temperature,the membranes of each series showed similar permeability coefficients.
