Relationship Amongst Technology Use, Work Overload, and Psychological Detachment from Work

Permanent connection to the work world as a result of new technologies raises the possibility of workday extensions and excessive workloads. The present study addresses the relationship between technology and psychological detachment from work resulting from work overload. Participants were 313 professionals from the health sector who responded to three instruments used in similar studies. Through PLS-SEM, regression and dependence analyses were developed, and through the bootstrapping method, significance of factor loadings, path coefficients and variances were examined. Results of the study corroborate a negative effect of technology use on psychological detachment from work and a positive correlation between technology and work overload. Additionally, there is a significant indirect effect of technology on psychological detachment from work as a result of work overload. Findings extend the literature related to the stressor-detachment model, and support the idea that workers who are often connected to their jobs by technological tools are less likely to reach adequate psychological detachment levels. Implications for the academic community and practitioners are discusse

Programa de inclusión laboral para personas profesionales con discapacidades físicas de 24 a 50 años de edad; en medianas empresas de servicios del sector privado en el municipio de San Miguel

Actualmente muchos empleadores parten del supuesto que una persona con discapacidad puede ser menos productiva comparado con otra persona que no posee discapacidad; debido a que el propósito esencial de las organizaciones con fines de lucro es crecer, que en el medio donde se desenvuelven las condiciones económicas sean propicias y que el personal sea idóneo para alcanzar competitividad en el mercado es por ello el planteamiento de un Programa de Inclusión Laboral para Personas Profesionales con Discapacidades Físicas de 24 a 50 años de edad dirigido a Medianas Empresas de Servicio del Sector Privado en el Municipio de San Miguel con el propósito de contribuir articular y fortalecer la inclusión efectiva de dicho sector en el ámbito laboral del sector privado. La inclusión laboral de personas profesionales con discapacidades físicas en el ámbito laboral se ha visto afectado por diversas causas como la discriminación; Según el reporte del estudio realizado en el año 2016 por la Embajada de Los Estados Unidos. 93 , desigualdades e infraestructura de las empresas

Digitally mediated social ties and achieving recognition in the field of creative and cultural production: unravelling the online social networking mystery

Career paths in the field of cultural and creative production and the attainment of recognition have been associated with networking and point at the relevance of maintaining social relationships. Social capital has been discussed as one key element, given the fact that forming social relations with significant others potentially aids individuals striving for symbolic capital – the precursor to recognition. The emergence of online social networking platforms as a means to amplify opportunities to build social relationships raises questions in regards to its impact on building social capital. The key question that arises is: To what extent can digitally mediated social relationships support creative professionals in attaining recognition for their work by capitalising on digitally mediated social ties? To answer this, it was necessary to uncover the nature of digitally mediated social relatedness in order to understand how and why these relations may be eligible to produce social capital. Tracing this process through drawings of personal networks elicited a wealth of narratives around the influence of digitally mediated social interaction on symbolic capital. This thesis identified that accessing social capital resources via digitally mediated social interaction operates within the context of two prime factors: risk and trust. As such, digitally mediated social ties are useful for building social capital. However, this holds primarily in contexts where risk is relatively low and therefore the required level of trust is marginal. The relevance of digitally mediated social ties in building social capital is thus largely context driven, whereby the individual circumstances of creative professionals are crucial. My findings highlight the ambivalent nature of digitally mediated social ties in terms of their conceptualisation as a form of social relationship. Interestingly, while being highly volatile and fluctuating in nature, these liquid ties, as I have labelled them in my thesis, do afford access to resources such as trust that have hitherto been primarily associated with strong social ties. Essentially, this challenges the prime conceptualisation of social capital as an affordance of strong, established social relationships in the formation of symbolic capital. Therefore, I make a case for a more nuanced approach to (mediated) social capital, which conceptualises the relevance of the social tie in light of its affordance, rather than its formal quality

Filosofía de la danza, una aproximación desde la estética modal

Este artículo parte del deseo de plantear, explorar y poner en juego el rico dispositivo filosófico-metodológico de la Estética Modal, , así como reflexionar qué hay de enigmático, metafísico y a la vez mundano y necesario en la experiencia estética, en aquello que nos inquieta del arte como fenómeno en general y en especial de los objetos artísticos como cuerpos que se disponen hacia la reflexión filosófica. Desde una visión de la estética profundamente pragmática pretendemos guiar nuestra curiosidad hacia los flujos y transformaciones que se han dado en el mundo de la danza como materialización de las derivas culturales, políticas, sociales o espirituales para afirmar que a pesar de no responder a preguntas, así como sucede con la filosofía, el arte es capaz de plantear, suscitar y generar tanto espacios físicos como virtuales de reflexión y persistencia.This paper comes from the desire to pose, explore and put into play the rich philosophical-methodological device of Modal Aesthetics as well as to reflect what is enigmatic, metaphysical and at the same time mundane and necessary in the aesthetic experience, in what concerns us about art as a phenomenon in general and especially of artistic objects as bodies that are disposed towards philosophical reflection. From a deeply pragmatic vision of aesthetics we intend to guide our curiosity towards the flows and transformations that have taken place in the world of dance as a materialization of cultural, political, social or spiritual drifts to affirm that despite not answering questions, as it also happens with philosophy, art is capable of raising and generating both physical and virtual spaces of reflection and persistence

Computational search for UV radiation resistance strategies in Deinococcus swuensis isolated from Paramo ecosystems

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) is widely known as deleterious for many organisms since it can cause damage to biomolecules either directly or indirectly via the formation of reactive oxygen species. The goal of this study was to analyze the capacity of high-mountain Espeletia hartwegiana plant phyllosphere microorganisms to survive UVR and to identify genes related to resistance strategies. A strain of Deinococcus swuensis showed a high survival rate of up to 60% after UVR treatment at 800J/m2 and was used for differential expression analysis using RNA-seq after exposing cells to 400J/m2 of UVR (with \u3e95% survival rate). Differentially expressed genes were identified using the R-Bioconductor package NOISeq and compared with other reported resistance strategies reported for this genus. Genes identified as being overexpressed included transcriptional regulators and genes involved in protection against damage by UVR. Non-coding (nc)RNAs were also differentially expressed, some of which have not been previously implicated. This study characterized the immediate radiation response of D. swuensis and indicates the involvement of ncRNAs in the adaptation to extreme environmental conditions
