and the words used in abstracts

This year I made the transition from an Apple device (Ipod touch) to an Android (Galaxy Player 4.2) mainly because I didn't like the closed environment of Apple and the upgrades policy (upgrade your old device with our new software to make it unusable so you will have to buy a new one or go away!).
Well, here is a list of my favorite apps. Those are apps that I use at least daily and usually very often during the day, and maybe you will find some of them useful for you also.

Hace tiempo escribí acerca del escándalo que es ver como los aranceles que pagan los estudiantes de las Ues privadas terminan pagando publicidad para atraer más postulantes en vez de pagando profesores, bibliotecas o investigación..
Ahora hay unos datos que permiten hacer una estimación más precisa de los "gastos" o "inversión" (como quiera que lo llamen) en publicidad de las universidades.
El año 2008 se gastaron $ 57.259.700.000, unos U$ 119.308.440 (fuente). De estos, cerca del 83% de ese gasto correspondió a universidades privadas (fuente), o sea, las ues privadas gastaron cerca de $ 47.525.551.000 mientras que las del CRUCh cerca de $ 9.734.149.000. Considerando que la matrícula de las ues el 20085 fue de 504.000 estudiantes, distribuidos en 257.000 de CRUCh y 246.000 de ues privadas (fuente), en promedio, cada estudiante de universidad tradicional pagó $ 13.742 anuales en publicidad de su universidad, mientras que un estudiante de universidad privada pagó $ 193.079 por el mismo concepto. Por supuesto, esto es un promedio, ya que la diferencia entre el gasto en publicidad de una u privada puede ser hasta 10 veces (fuente). Sin embargo, lo que está claro que existe una asociación entre gasto publicitario y calidad, de manera que las ues que gastan más en publicidad tienen peor calidad (fuente). Vale la pena darle un vistazo a los antecedentes recogidos por la Comisión de la Cámara de Diputados aquí
Y que pasa si el "emprendimiento" sale mal? Simple, PIDAMOS QUE EL ESTADO SE HAGA CARGO DEL NEGOCIO!
Peor aun, algunos hablan del "rol social" de las universidades que lucran, arguyendo que permiten que jóvenes que no recibieron una buena educación primaria accedan a la educación superior. Sin embargo, los mismos dueños de las Ues privadas son asimismo dueños de los bancos que ofrecen créditos para estos estudiantes. Esta vía del lucro es COMPLETAMENTE legal, y explica el interés de los "inversionistas" de las ues privadas en capturar la mayor cantidad de postulantes, independiente de si estos tienen o no las capacidades o habilidades que requieren los estudios universitarios. Sin embargo, las ues privadas prefieren gastar en publicidad para captar más "clientes" que en la educación o ayuda a estos estudiantes.
los planteles privados invertían MM$ 22.625 en publicidad, mientras que únicamente MM$ 6.750 en becas. “En el CRUCh, en cambio, las cifras eran MM$ 4.618 y MM$ 17.909. (fuente)
"Professor, your lectures are a disgrace to the university"
Estaba en una fila el otro día y escuche una conversación entre adolescentes:
- y a que u vas a postular?
- a la "U Privada 1", es super buena!
- ah si? que buena, yo a la "U Privada 2", es super buena también
1. pick your citation style (right click "Save as") from the Zotero Style Repository and download.
You will see a file with .csl extension
2. In Zotero, go to Edit > Options > Cite > Styles > + and add the file csl
Done :)
You can download all the styles of major dental journals in a zipped file here :) or create a new style with this instructions or this
Caries in its simplest expression consists in a chemical dissolution of the calcium salts of the tooth by lactic acid, followed by the decomposition of the organic matrix, or gelatinous body, which, in the dentin, is left after the solution of the calcium salts.
...always begins upon the surface, never in the interior. Decay of the teeth is therefore caused by an agent acting from without the tooth, never from within the tooth. It is something extraneous to the tooth, acting upon the surface in the beginning and penetrating little by little into its substance
The progress of caries is limited, or even stopped, in a number of different ways.
...it becomes the duty of the dentist to prescribe the manner of its use; not only to prescribe the manner of use, but to teach his patients the correct use of the brush.
There are very few persons who need other than the ordinary straight tooth brush. A cheap tooth brush is generally the best tooth brush, because it is small, there are not so many bristles in it, and they will get in between the teeth better. Examinations should be made at intervals to see that regular and correct habits become fixed
It is intrinsically wrong to treat tbe subject of filling teeth simply from the mechanical standpoint; it is wrong in that it tends to produce in the minds of students the idea that filling teeth is a purely mechanical pursuit. This is far from the proper conception of the facts. In filling teeth, the closest use of our knowledge of the pathology of dental caries and of the local conditions of its occurrence, and of its recurrence after fillings have been made, should be put to full use in every case, in order that the greatest benefit may be derived from filling operations
Fillings are not curative in the same sense that vaccination is curative against smallpox — preventive; such remedies remove the tendecy to disease; something of a material nature is introduced into the blood and cellular elements of the whole body that tends to counteract the disease. Nothing of this kind is done in filling teeth. No systemic change is produced as a direct effect. That is to say, fillings do not remove the tendency to caries, and the curative effect of a filling is literally no broader than its outline.
The complete divorcement of dental practice from the studies of the pathology of dental caries, that existed in the past, is an anomaly in science that should not continue. It has the apparent tendency to make dentists mechanics only..
It must be understood that treatment by filling should be supplemented and supported, in all cases of considerable susceptibility to caries of the teeth, by fairly vigorous and healthful chewing of food and by artificial cleaning with the brush in the hands of the patient. For this purpose, careful training of the individuals should be seriously undertaken by the dentist with the same care that he would bestow upon any operation he performs for their relief.
What should be considered a permanent filling? What do we mean by permanent?
...incipient decay of the enamel or the deeioer decays of the proximal surfaces will be stopped, provided the surface is such that it can be kept fairly clean.
Looking for a Facebook for researchers? Here are some options. Every of them has similar features.
Those are not exactly social networks, rather kind of "Profile" webpages:
This is not exactly social network, but you can create groups and store papers. The downside: is commercial :/
Not exactly for research, but worth to mention
Or you can create your own at Wall.fm, Elgg or Ning
Also, worth of mention is the Google Scholar Profile
I've using those social networks for a while. All have similar features. Some are better for interaction as ResearchGate and others to discover and stay updated with publications of your network, as BioMedExperts.
So, it's up to you to decide which one fits better for your requirements. I use a lot of twitter (@sergiouribe) to discover and share information and some of G+ with a circle of Dental Research.
PS: feel free to add me in any of those networks :) (or in my Google Plus)

I was born in Chile and currently works as Associate Professor at the Dental School of the Universidad Austral de Chile, Valdivia, where I am the Head of the Dental Imaging Department and Research Coordinator. I am a dentist specialising in Maxillofacial Radiology.
My research area is dental radiology & imaging, cariology and evidence based dentistry.
