Se examino la asociacion o ligacion entre la capacidad de comunicacion asertiva del alumno y su rendimiento academico.Tiene un enfoque cuantitativo, diseno no experimental, de alcance descriptivo-correlacional, con recojo de informacion transversal. Para medir la asertividad se uso el inventario de asertividad adaptado de Rathus (1973), que analiza el problema dela medicion de la asertividad, a traves de 30 items. La variable rendimiento academico esta representada por el promedio ponderado acumulado (PPA). Para el analisis estadistico principal, se uso el metodo del Producto Momento de Pearson. Para el analisis especifico, se utilizo la estadistica descriptiva, presentando comparaciones cuantitativas y cualitativas. Intervienen 69 alumnos promocionales al 2017 - I (Noveno, ingresantes en 2013-I). El estudio concluye que el rendimiento academico no se asocia significativamente con la asertividad de los estudiantes.

The analysis of results was performed in the Excel 2016 program, through descriptive statistical parameters as average and standard deviation. For the determination of proximal analysis in 100g of pulverized Nostoc sphaericum “cushuro”, the Kjeldahl method was used, finding 26.68 ± 0.01% protein, 0.21 ± 0.03% fat, 5.77 ± 0.11% crude fiber, 11.23 ± 0.42% moisture, 7.77 ± 0.01% ash. For the determination of iron, the colorimetric method based on reactions with orthoferantothroline was used, finding 15.72 ± 2.07 mg/100g of dry sample, and for calcium the complexometric method was applied by titration with ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA), obtaining 1224.4 mg of Ca/100g of dehydrated “cushuro” as a result.

For this reason, sugarcane juice samples were obtained from 15 randomly sampled residual sugarcane stalk samples. The isolation of LAB was then carried out by means of conventional microbiology techniques, using Agar Mayeux, Sandine and Elliker (MSE) culture medium at pH 7.2 and an incubation time of 30°C for 48 hours. Subsequently, pure cultures were made from the characteristic colonies of Leuconostoc mesenteroides (rubbery, viscous, translucent and creamy colonies) for their biochemical identification according to Bergey’s Manual of Bacteriological Determination. The identification and selection of L. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides was carried out according to the Kappa coefficient statistical method, with the purpose of using it in the production of dextran (bioflocculant) in an aerated-agitated bioreactor (Aplikon brand). The purity of the dextran was determined using the FT-IR technique, which was compared with the spectrum of pure dextran produced by the strain NRRL P-640. Four strains of Leuconostoc mesenteroides, LM (01-04) were isolated, of which the strain LM03 was identified as L. meenteroides subsp. mesenteroides. The dextran values produced by LM03 were 26.87 g/L at 80 hours (maximum concentration) and 2.61 g/L at 4 hours (minimum concentration). The dextran produced by LM03 is pure according to FT-IR analysis. In conclusion, it was possible to isolate BAL L. mesenteroides subsp. mesenteroides (strain LM03), which had the capacity to produce dextran, which can be used as a bioflocculant with different biotechnological and industrial uses.","PeriodicalId":31354,"journal":{"name":"UCVScientia","volume":"12 1","pages":"121-135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67588601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
