.:CHILE: CONTRATS COUNTRY:.

Chile contrasts country
Our country has fought for hundreds of years in front the adversity, first for the independency, started with the opposition at Spain government, because the people of the country can a change, they wanted freedom.

Since then the people or better say, the habitants of Chile, know what they wanted and established a republic, with limits and frontiers defined, and ideals to represent the people idiosyncrasy
But, what’s the view on Chile’s bicentennial year?

Undoubtedly, Over the years some things, mark the history of a country, with wars, catastrophes, victory’s and significant losses, have been at the time, important situation, to start again and learn to stand up again.

Surely, the people in 1910, celebrated your centenary, the completely different form at the people in 2010, first, because haven’t the resources, and the politics vision was limited, today exist a free expression, also be most resources to invest in infrastructure and make a monumental spectacles like: light show in “La Moneda”, giant flags, etc. because this funds is the work of millions of Chileans in all this years.

Chile was grow up, now the life is most comfortable, have the better indicators in the level of education , economic, health, exist access at technology, and public services, to meet all basic needs, also exist opportunity of job compared with the South America neighbors, reason the hope will be a developed country in a couple of years

In my opinion this bicentenary celebration, also was marking for the unfortunately, the recently earthquake, the minery tragedy, this provoque in the people a change in your routinary life and unit most at the people

In conclusion I can say, this year was very difficult to Chile, for this reason the vision of bicentenary to Chilean people is a looked, deeper, reflexive, and hit by the blows that life gives us, but energetic, with desire to succeed, overcome adversity and sitting in front of the future without forgetting those who gave their lives to build the nation, and gradually built the territory we now call country

.:A very Special Place:.

Hi, everybody!

In this opportunity, I talk about a beautiful place in our country, ubicated in the pacific ocean, at the heigh of Valparaiso region.

Easter Island have an area of 163.6 km ² and a population of 3,791 habitants, concentrated in Hanga Roa, unique city and capital of island, and was annexed to the national territory in 1888 by browser Policarpo Toro.

The traditional name that received island is Rapa Nui, mean "Big Island", placed by older browsers from Thaiti, because is very similar at the Rapa island.

The region have a rainy-tropical climates, unique in Chile, with temperatures average 26.8ºC at the large of the year.

For the other hand the fauna is very rich and varied, we can find species like: langouste, gaviots, pelicans, Maori rats in the others, and flora has , fern meadows and forests of giant palm trees.

One of the monuments attractives of Easter island are the magnificent stone sculptures, better known as "Moais", this figures are an enigma to scientist, for its elaborated and complicated construction.

Easter island is a touristic destiny of many foreigners from all over the world, the principal economic income, for the habitants.

I would like to travel some day to this place and know more of their culture, and know at the natives people of the zone, also appreciate the arquitecture of “Moais” and the environment surrounded for the ocean.

This place is especial to forget of the obligations, work, and responsibilities daily, far away of the noise, and the pollution of the city.

..."Myths and Truth about the Human Brain”...

Hi, everybody!!

In this opportunity I talk about, of excellent presentation of Dr. Pedro Maldonado, about the myths of the brain

First, the brain is a very particular structure, charge of the correct operation of own organism, and so far unknown, but with the advances of medicine has been studied, to discovered the capacities, morphology and real functions of them

The size and form of brain, was thought different compared with others species of animals, because the grade of human intellectual develop, allowed reach the levels of modernization, creation and capacity of thought, but now, we know that there is no difference between animals and humans, both have the same structures and morphology, the difference lies in the size, the number of circumvolutions, not more.

Also, the brain always is compared with a computer, for the capacity of stored or the distribution of information, other myth resolved! Because our brain has a certain plasticity and is able to integrate the events rather than separate them

The human brain not present differences for the gender, the male brain and the female brain have the same capacities, it’s to say, women have a brain less abstract, but with all their skills to use in learning, the differences are most related with hormonal factors, but the brain is equal in both

I think, it’s very important know the functions and characteristics of human brain, understand this complex organ, very difficult to study, and clarify the myths to have a view most extend about what it’s the real role in the organism.

... INMUNIZATION...

Hi everybody!!
I talk about a very interesting article about vaccines and immunization.
Article is available in:http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/oct/11/vaccination-fears-developing-world-deaths

The news talks about the many people are afraid of vaccines, pain, needles, and lately by the diseases they may cause, because immunizations are associated with the development of dangerous diseases such as: the vaccine against hepatitis B, multiple sclerosis occurs, the component Mercury in other vaccines cause autism, the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps and rubella) (included in the immunization program in Chile) is related to whooping cough, etc.

But none of this is proven, they are just rumors spread around the world, developed countries like France, UK, USA. through internet.However, it is relevant, because less industrialized countries, mainly from Asia and Africa (the highest rates are in South Africa and India), reject the vaccines even if they have high numbers of people who die or become ill each year.

Our fears of anti-vaccine groups created to excel in the developed world can not directly cause these problems, but "nurture and amplify them," said Dr. Heidi Larson of the vaccine program and policy group Imperial College London

What to do? so far only been designed to educate, inform and raise awareness, but not sufficient, it is necessary to make the change at the country and end the rumors, better known in each

For the other hand, there are places that progress in immunization, such as South America, has a high number of people vaccinated, even a relatively poor continent, including countries such as Bolivia, Peru, every year increase their numbers

Is very sad to be put at risk hundreds of lives by poor dissemination of information, and every day innocent people are dying, victims of the ignorance of those who decry the benefit offered to modern medicine for better health, especially in those need and are at a disadvantage.

¡¡sTRESs!!

Hi everybody in this opportunity I talk about Stress!

The stress is a set of physiological, psychological and behavioral characteristics of our organism to stimuli or situations that we perceive and interpret as a threat or danger to our physical and psychological.

Hundreds of people around the world suffer from this problem, even in Chile the figures are increasing daily, especially in the female population, and also in the young population

In the case of health students, this situation is habitual, but at the same time prejudicial to the health
The principal causes of stress are:
The competition in the work, the work pression, frustration for not meeting expectations, the accelerated pace of life, economic problems, problems in the family
In conclusion, several factors can trigger this condition
But is relative and accord at the people personality and mood

The symptoms of stress are varied, but the most significatives and frequent are: headache, insomnia, irritability, confussion states, incapacity of concentration, among others
The normal is that stress have a short duration (days, weeks) adaptation and solution to problems must end at this
When the stress becomes chronic (does not go away) can have long-term and in various systems, and present diseases such as high blood pressure, ulcer, depression, is to say, a series of diseases become vulnerability at the organism
The best form to fight with the stress, is evite the stressing situations, planification the change in the life , organize priorities, improve communication, discover our limitations, getting enough rest, and most important develop a positive attitude
This last recommendation can make a difference in the daily rutine and alleviate the burden of the day

LEVONORGESTREL

Hi, everybody!!

This blog is dedicated at presentation of Dr. Carlos Valenzuela, member of institute of biomedical sciences

In this opportunity he talked about: levonorgestrel in emergency contraception, better known as “the morning after pill”.

The Levonorgestrel is contraceptive pill, with postovulatory effects, using a high concentration of female hormones to stop the process of nidation or implantation, after a sexual relation, without protection, or bad utilization of anticonceptive, to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

The point of view of Dr. Valenzuela, was that levonorgestrel is a contraceptive and not an abortion pill, because not affect the implantation, only have effects in the cycle of migration of embryo in the fallopian tubes.

But there is controversy on this point because some people believe that life begins at implantation, others with the union of genetic material.

However, the doctor says in his presentation, abort is an abstract concept, very difficult to define.

This point was to my, the most interesting to my in the presentation, the controversies, and the differents points of view, of the church and the scientists, and relevance as this pills, and how to get involved in daily living.

In my personal opinion, I believe the levonorgestrel should be utilized in extreme circumstances, for example in violation victims, because I think, in case of family planification not is necessary, because exist others anticonceptive methods.

The used of levonorgestrel, should be reduce until clarify the real action method, and the various parties to reach a common understanding, especially when put in game a future life.

THE BICENTENARY

Hi, everybody!!!!

In this blog, I talk about of Bicentenary, one important date that changed the course of Chile .

To start a little of history:

This year our country meets “two hundred years” of independence, the 18 of September of 1810, when set the first meeting of government-led, for Mateo de Toro y Zambrano. But, here was not signed the act of independence, only established the points to start the process of liberation .

Since the arrival of Pedro de Valdivia, Chile has down the laws of Spanish kings, this country of Europe under his power to the vast majority of countries of America, subjecting the people to their beliefs, lifestyle, habits, besides to exploit the natures recourses especially the golden, utilised to elaborated the jewels of the royalty and make more rich at Spanish crown, considering people like an scoria .

This and other situations, prompting the people to make a change, and expulse at the spanish of the continent.

For the other hand, different countries of South America, forming the Army of the Andes, being its top leaders Bernardo O’Higgins and José de San Martín.

For that, chilli don’t its the unique country of anniversary, also Mexico, Argentine, Venezuela, Colombia, etc.

Nevertheless, Chile became independent 12 of February 1818, and the battles finished to Chile, with the embrace of Maipú, the last combat.

Really, this date should be the Chile birthday, but the history considering the independence from birth of the liberty ideas.
