This dissertation develops a new organizational model based on sustainability criteria within which the organizational and technical solutions to the problems of management of extensive livestock production systems on the commons grazing lands can be provided. Due to the multifarious forces of modernization the traditional range/livestock systems developed by tribal peoples in arid and semiarid areas world-wide have largely been abandoned. The outcome has been extensive rangeland deterioration and expansion of desertification in many cases. The Apache Indian cattle association operations examined herein, the Mescalero single-brand and the San Carlos multiple-brand, are examples of livestock organizations operating extensive livestock production programs on commonly held rangelands. The results of these investigations provide the basis for developing this model.

The purpose of this study was to describe and compare the post-school adjustment of Native American youth who received special education or regular education services on White Mountain Apache Indian reservation in Arizona. This study reflects what the students have been doing since they left school, whether their school experiences have prepared them for life in general, and how their personal history helps identify their values, outlooks, and current community standing. In an effort to assess the transition status of these former students, a 38 item survey instrument was developed. A total of 132 students were identified from the Alchesay high school records. Of this number, face-to-face interviews were conducted with 106 former (80%) students. Students were compared in five areas which have been identified as important to successful transition from school to adult life. Comparisons were made on the respondents opinions of their secondary school education, employment status, independent living, maladjustment, and culture/traditionality. SES stated that mathematics, resource programs, and English prepared them for the job market whereas mathematics, office skills, science, and business education were selected by the RES. All the respondents wished for computer education. Only 31% of the total sample was employed up to five years after leaving school. Seventy-four percent of the students still live with their parents. Forty-four percent of both groups had arrest records, and 68% of both groups had a history of substance abuse. Sixty-four percent of the respondents use and speak the Apache language most of the time. Parents and the extended family provide the majority of guidance and support as these young adults seek employment, community integration and social adjustment. There is a pressing need for transitional programs, better job programs, and substance abuse preventive programs for both groups of Apache post-high school students.

La pancreatitis aguda es una enfermedad inflamatoria del páncreas exocrino; el rango de incidencia es de 10 a 80 / 100,000 habitantes por año y el rango de mortalidad varia de 2 a 10%. Las causas más comunes son la litiasis biliar y el alcohol. Los pacientes con pancreatitis aguda se presentan con dolor en el hemiabdomen superior y/o diferentes grados de insuficiencia orgánica. El diagnostico se sospecha por una presentación clínica típica y una amilasa serica elevada más de tres veces su valor normal. En presentaciones atípicas podrían requerir confirmación con tomografía axial computarizada. El manejo inmediato es hidratación endovenosa, analgésicos y monitoreo continuo. La mayoría de los pacientes presentan pancreatitis leve y se recuperan sin tratamiento adicional. En 20% de los pacientes la enfermedad es severa y esta asociada con una mortalidad de aproximadamente 20-40%; Estos pacientes requieren un manejo en cuidados intensivos o podrían requerir transferencia a una unidad especializada.

Establece la utilidad de los puntajes BISAP y APACHE II como predictores de severidad de pancreatitis aguda (PA) en pacientes del Hospital Nacional Dos de Mayo. Se realiza un estudio analítico, retrospectivo y transversal entre enero y diciembre de 2016 de pacientes con diagnóstico de PA según la nueva clasificación Atlanta 2012 y se define severidad como falla orgánica persistente mediante puntaje Marshall modificado ≥ 2 a las 48 horas. Selecciona puntos de corte apropiados con los que se calcula la sensibilidad, especificidad, VPP y VPN; y confecciona la curva ROC para los puntajes BISAP y APACHE-II. / Tesis
