ABSTRACT
En Abril del 2003, la ciudad de Santa Fe (Argentina) vivió la más dramática de las catástrofes en la historia provincial y nacional. El río Salado desbordo junto a la impericia, imprevisión e irresponsabilidad de los gobernantes afectando directamente a 150.000 habitantes. Producto de esto, a las pérdidas en vidas, viviendas, instalaciones y producción, hay que sumar los daños en salud, educación, fuentes laborales e identidad de las personas, familias, barrios y comunidades, que perduran en el tiempo. Los cambios producidos en las ocupaciones y las representaciones de personas, han generado nuevas configuraciones cuya dimensión ocupacional se desconoce. Las ocupaciones caracterizan la vida humana, constituyen fuente de identidad personal y social, organizan la vida cotidiana aportando a los estados de salud y función ocupacional. Una de sus expresiones es a través de las rutinas y hábitos cotidianos. Desde la Universidad Nacional del Litoral, un grupo de terapeutas ocupacionales conformamos un equipo de investigación con la expectativa de producir conocimientos que permitan caracterizar el impacto que la catástrofe ha producido en la dimensión ocupacional de las personas. El diseño adopta metodología cualitativa para captar el fenómeno a profundidad y desde la perspectiva de los afectados. Los propósitos que se pretenderán alcanzar con el desarrollo del trabajo, son: 1. Analizar: a) los cambios de rutinas y hábitos con mayor impacto en la vida de las personas; b) las características de los procesos de interrupción y adaptación ocupacional. 2. Construir indicadores de necesidades ocupacionales desde la perspectiva de los afectados. 3. Detectar los soportes más efectivos para la recuperación ocupacional.
In April 27th 2003, Santa Fe, Argentina, underwent the most dramatic catastrophe in the provincial and national history. The Salado River overflowed due to the unskillfulness, lack of foresight and irresponsibility of the politicians, affecting 150.000 inhabitants. This resulted in loss of lives, housing, installations and equipments, not to mention the damage in health, education, sources of labour, personal identity, families, neighbourhoods and communities, which are everlasting. This has changed life, occupation and representation of people, giving origin to new configurations, the occupational dimensions of which are unknown. The human life is characterized by the occupations which constitute sources of personal and social identity, and organize the daily life contributing with health and occupational function states. One of their expressions is through everyday routines and habits. A study was initiated in the National University of Litoral in order to know the changes in routine life habits caused in the occupational dimension, and the adaptation processes initiated by the victims. Qualitative methods were employed to collect data to understand the phenomenon and to obtain information for the perspective of the affected people. The pursued objectives include: 1. To identify and analyze the changes in routines and habits with major impact in peoples life. 2. To identify and establish necessity indicators from the perspective of the affected people.3. To detect the most effective supports for the occupational recovery.

Erythrocytic membranes from blood group A individuals were assayed for A antigen using a quantitative hemagglutination inhibition technique. The membranes were then extracted for lipid and glycoprotein. Although some A antigen was usually found in the glycoprotein fraction, most of the activity was in the lipid fraction. The sum of A antigen activity in the lipid, glycoprotein, and membrane residue fractions only occasionally was equal to the A activity in the erythrocytic ghosts. However, when certain lipid preparations with little or no A antigen (enhancement factors) were added to the glycolipid fractions, the amount of A antigen demonstrated was usually greatly increased. Under these conditions, the sum of the fractions often was much greater than the A antigen demonstrated in erythrocytic membranes. This suggests that the organization or arrangement of A antigenic determinants in the red cell membrane may not always permit a stoichiometric reaction with anti-A molecules.
