Abstract: A green process for the preparation of a biodegradable plasticizer was developed in this study. An ester was synthesized from castor oil fatty acid (COFA) and furfuryl alcohol (FA), using immobilized Candida antarctica Lipase B (NS 435) as bio catalyst. Reaction parameters were optimized and the ester (FA-COFA) obtained was characterized from their acid value, density, viscosity and flash point. Formation of ester was confirmed by structure analysis using TLC, GC and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The biodegradability of the ester was also confirmed by microbiological study. The application of the ester as plasticizer into the ethyl cellulose films were analyzed by SEM and measuring tensile strength and elongation property. The ester showed good plasticizing ability at certain concentration. antarctica lipase; Biodegradability; Plasticizer; Ethyl Cellulose. 4246

Abstract: The conditions of violence in which a significant number of children, women and men live is a dramatic landscape in today's world. In Mexico, violence as an everyday condition is redefined as a medium-long term problem for society. Exposure to criminal violence has caused considerable impact within the Mexican population generally, such situations have negative psychological outcomes in victims. Some of the disorders that have been the result of criminal acts are Acute Stress Disorder (ASD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Adaptive Disorders (TA) and Pathological Mourning of Violent Death. In order to offer psychological interventions to this national problem, the School of Psychology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico developed a comprehensive program of mental care supported by latest generation technology with evidence-based psychological treatments.This paper describes initial results of the implementation in Mexico of psychotherapy on line and virtual reality e
