SUMMARY:The main aim of this study was to identify the morphological characteristics, to determine the tendency in the physical structure, differences and similarities according to categories based on age of the Chilean team of Rhythmic Gymnastics. We performed an anthropometric analysis of 60 gymnasts, fractioned by categories: preschoolers and schoolers (n= 11), junior (n= 28) and senior (n= 21). The anthropometric analysis was determined based on the study of the body composition, through pentacompartimental fractionation method (Kerr), somatotype (Heath & Carter) and the body mass index (Quetelet). The results showed significant differences between preschoolers and schoolers and higher categories (junior and senior) in the general anthropometric variables of body mass, height and BMI. Regarding the body composition, we only found significant differences in the percentage of muscle mass between the preschoolers and schoolers when being compared with the other two categories. In the study of somatotype, the prevalence of ectomorphic categorization was only found in the preschoolers and schoolers (meso-ectomorph), while in the junior category a mesomorph-ectomorph somatotype was observed and a central type in the senior category. We conclude that the morphology of the selected Chilean Rhythmic gymnastics depends on the category, as observed in the anthropometric characteristics related to the body composition and somatotype. Therefore, this factor is not useful in establishing a clearer tendency in the morph structure for this sport at a national level.
This is a case report describing a paramolartubercle occurring on the buccal surface of left uppersecond premolar (tooth 25). From the perspective ofdental anthropology, this morphological feature, thoughuncommon, may be useful for classification and identification.
Introduction:SAIATU is a program of specially trained in-home social assistance and companionship, which provided support to end-of-life patients in Gipuzkoa, Spain. Collaboration with other palliative care resources is a key element of the program designed to ensure comprehensive care through specialized social support, facilitate in-home care and meet the wishes of patients who prefer to die at home and their families, alleviating pain and offering accompaniment and support in the care of physical symptoms, as well as emotional and social needs.
ResumenEl nominalismo de Estado es una categoría que explica el papel semántico del soberano en la definición de los términos jurídicos y políticos. Un ejemplo de su aplicación está en el debate propiciado por el gobierno colombiano en torno al concepto de conflicto armado, con la pretensión de esclarecer si éste constituye un apelativo válido para designar la situación de crisis interna. Mediante la metodología del análisis crítico del discurso político fue posible establecer que el discurso gubernamental ha empleado técnicas como la atenuación, el eufemismo, la lexicalización y la polarización para proscribir del lenguaje público, la referencia a un conflicto armado interno y substituirla por el nombre de amenaza terrorista. Los resultados obtenidos con el estudio evidencian la necesidad de reemplazar la retórica guerrerista por una narrativa más conciliadora, que permita construir nuevos relatos de país y que guarde una mayor coherencia con la expectativa de la reconciliación, inherente a la justicia transicional.
Palabras claveDiscurso, conflicto armado interno, guerra civil, amenaza terrorista, Derecho Internacional Humanitario.
AbstractState nominalism is a category that explains the semantic role of the sovereign in the definition of juridical and political terms. An example of its application can be seen in the debate around the concept of armed conflict propitiated by the Colombian government, with the goal of determining whether this constitutes a valid name for Colombia's internal crisis. Using the methodology of critical discourse analysis, it was established that government discourse has used the techniques of attenuation, euphemism, lexicalization and polarization in order to proscribe references to internal armed conflict in public discourse, and to substitute them with the name terrorist threat. Results show the need to replace current warlike rethoric for a more conciliatory narrative, that would allow the construction of new narratives for the country, one more coherent with the expectation of reconciliation that is inherent to transitional justice.
Key wordsDiscourse, internal armed conflict, civil war, terrorist threat, International Humanitarian Law.
