Desde "San Juan, San Pedro y Santa Lucia" hacia la construcción social y política de Inti Raymi en Cotacachi Imbabura
La presente investigación, tiene como escenario dos comunidades kichwas, ubicadas en el Cantón Cotacachi de la Provincia de Imbabura: San Vicente de El Topo Grande y La Calera que protagonizan tradicionalmente la toma de la plaza. La fiesta de Inti Raymi encuentra en estas dos comunidades la representación de las mitades Janan y Urin que cada año en tomo al parque central de Cotacachi efectúan peleas rituales; el nivel de violencia que alcanza la celebración del ritual provoca derramamiento de sangre y ocasionalmente hasta la muerte de sus danzantes. Dicho acto está fuertemente ligado a los ritos de la fertilidad por lo tanto las luchas son una representación de la oposición andina, entre las mitades masculina y femenina.

Prognostic markers are used to evaluate a patient’s outcome and cancer recurrence probability after initial interventions such as surgery or drug treatments and, hence, to select follow-up and further treatment strategies. On the other hand, predictive markers are increasingly being used to evaluate the probability of benefit from clinical intervention(s), driving personalized medicine. Evolving technologies and the increasing availability of “multiomics” data are leading to the selection of numerous potential bio...
