    [Resumen] Este trabajo pretende arrojar la luz sobre el feminismo, entendido como un conjunto de teorías y prácticas de autoafirmación, con las que múltiples culturas se entrelazan en torno a los derechos de las mujeres. Con un enfoque comparado, se presentan las ideas feministas en el ensayo literario A Room of One’s Own (1929), de la escritora británica Virginia Woolf; y en la novela Dafatir Al-Toufan (2003) de la escritora jordana Samiha Khreis. Tras una breve contextualización histórica y cultural, se pone atención en la influencia de las religiones en los feminismos oriental y occidental. Se aborda la representación literaria de la mujer occidental y sus reivindicaciones a principios del s. XX; y la de la mujer oriental árabe y la lucha por sus derechos a principios del s. XXI. Por último se comentan los puntos en que las obras convergen o divergen, de manera que se ponga en evidencia, acompañada de una breve reflexión sobre las luchas feministas, lo que hay de común o no entre movimientos socio-culturales reflejados en la literatura, por encima de fronteras y marcos temporales y culturales[Abstract] This work aims to shed light on feminism, understood as a set of theories and practices of self affirmation, with which multiple cultures are intertwined around women's rights. With a comparative approach, feminist ideas are presented in the literary essay A Room of One's Own (1929), by the British writer Virginia Woolf; and in the novel Dafatir Al-Toufan (2003) by the Jordanian writer Samiha Khreis. After a brief historical and cultural contextualization, attention is paid to the influence of religions on Eastern and Western feminisms. The literary representation of Western women and their claims at the beginning of the s. XX; and that of the Arab oriental woman and the fight for her rights at the beginning of the s. XXI. Finally, the points in which the works converge or diverge are commented, so as to put in evidence, accompanied by a brief reflection on the feminist struggles, what there is in common or not between socio-cultural movements reflected in the literature, for above borders and temporal and cultural frameworksTraballo fin de mestrado (UDC.FIL).

    Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

    SARS-CoV-2 vaccination modelling for safe surgery to save lives: data from an international prospective cohort study

    Background: Preoperative SARS-CoV-2 vaccination could support safer elective surgery. Vaccine numbers are limited so this study aimed to inform their prioritization by modelling. Methods: The primary outcome was the number needed to vaccinate (NNV) to prevent one COVID-19-related death in 1 year. NNVs were based on postoperative SARS-CoV-2 rates and mortality in an international cohort study (surgical patients), and community SARS-CoV-2 incidence and case fatality data (general population). NNV estimates were stratified by age (18-49, 50-69, 70 or more years) and type of surgery. Best- and worst-case scenarios were used to describe uncertainty. Results: NNVs were more favourable in surgical patients than the general population. The most favourable NNVs were in patients aged 70 years or more needing cancer surgery (351; best case 196, worst case 816) or non-cancer surgery (733; best case 407, worst case 1664). Both exceeded the NNV in the general population (1840; best case 1196, worst case 3066). NNVs for surgical patients remained favourable at a range of SARS-CoV-2 incidence rates in sensitivity analysis modelling. Globally, prioritizing preoperative vaccination of patients needing elective surgery ahead of the general population could prevent an additional 58 687 (best case 115 007, worst case 20 177) COVID-19-related deaths in 1 year. Conclusion: As global roll out of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination proceeds, patients needing elective surgery should be prioritized ahead of the general population
