Telefonía móvil inteligente e hiper cotidianidad

En este artículo presentamos algunas de las conclusiones de nuestra investigación sobre convergencia tecnológica y vida cotidiana. Los resultados sugieren que se estarían produciendo cambios en la dimensión espaciotemporal de la experiencia cotidiana de los sujetos y en la forma a través de la cual éstos dan estabilidad, estructura y sentido al mundo intersubjetivo, como consecuencia de los usos, apropiaciones y significaciones que hacen respecto de la telefonía móvil inteligente. Proponemos el concepto de cotidianidad enriquecida o hipercotidianidad, para explicar lo que consideramos es una de las principales transformaciones en la vida diaria de las personas en el mundo contemporáneo, referidas a la incorporación de la telefonía móvil inteligente.In this paper we present some results from our research on technological media convergence and everyday life.

Covid-19 y autismo: impacto en las personas con autismo y sus familias en Uruguay

La pandemia de covid-19 y las medidas asociadas determinaron cambios profundos en los individuos con trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) y sus familias. Se busca explorar estos efectos a nivel de las emociones y comportamientos en esta población en Uruguay. Dentro de un estudio multicéntrico de ocho países de Latinoamérica, se utilizó la submuestra de Uruguay para analizar los cambios de los comportamientos exhibidos por los individuos con TEA sobre la base de género y edad. Entre los 269 cuidadores que completaron una encuesta anónima, el 43,9 % reportó mayores problemas de convivencia y el 75,4 % reportó retrocesos. El empeoramiento de los comportamientos externalizados fue mayor en el sexo masculino y de los internalizados, en los adolescentes de 13 a 18 años. Estos resultados deberían considerarse a la hora de tomar medidas que comprometen la continuidad educativa, apoyos terapéuticos y de asistencia a las familias con personas con TEA en Uruguay. - COVID-19 pandemic and its associated measures, determined profound changes in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families. Authors explore consequences regarding emotions and behaviors in this population in Uruguay. Within a multicentric study of eight Latin American countries, changes in behaviors in individuals with ASD based on gender and age were analyzed in the Uruguayan subsample. Among the 269 caregivers who completed an anonymous survey, 43.9% reported greater problems in daily life and 75.4% reported setbacks. The worsening of externalizing behaviors was greater in males. The internalizing ones were higher in adolescents aged 13 to 18 years. These results should be considered when taking measures that compromise educational continuity, therapeutic supports and assistance to families with people with ASD in Uruguay

Facing COVID-19: Situation of People with Autism and their Families in Latin America

We present a multicenter study conducted through an online survey of 1826 families of people with ASD from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Uruguay and Venezuela. Our objective is to describe the impact of the pandemic –and social isolation– on the behavior, mood, sleep and diet of people with ASD. To this end, we have surveyed sociodemographic and housing characteristics and the modality of confinement. We analyze the effects of discontinuity in educational and therapeutic services and assess the scope of remote interventions. Some of the consequences of confinement –obligatory for the majority– has been increased irritability in people with ASD, increased wandering behavior, higher levels of anxiety, and difficulties in eating, sleeping and concentrating. Most of the families have noticed setbacks in their children during the confinement. The beneficial effects of outings and walks are highlighted. Many treatments and classes have been discontinued. Remote interventions are positively highlighted. The current crisis should be an opportunity to reorganize education and treatment devices, attending to the need for changes, with a more ecological, inclusive and autism-friendly perspective.Presentamos un estudio multicéntrico realizado a través de una encuesta en línea a 1826 familias de personas con TEA de Argentina, Brasil, Chile, México, Perú, República Dominicana, Uruguay y Venezuela. Nuestro objetivo es describir el impacto de la pandemia –y el aislamiento social– en la conducta, el estado de ánimo, el sueño y la alimentación de las personas con TEA. A tal fin hemos relevado características sociodemográficas, habitacionales y modalidad de confinamiento. Analizamos los efectos de la discontinuidad de los servicios educativos y terapéuticos y valoramos los alcances de las intervenciones a distancia. Algunas de las consecuencias del confinamiento –obligatorio para la mayoría– han sido el aumento de irritabilidad en las personas con TEA, el incremento de la conducta de deambular, mayores niveles de ansiedad, dificultades en alimentación, sueño y concentración. La mayor parte de las familias han notado retrocesos en sus hijos durante el encierro. Se destacan los efectos beneficiosos de salidas y paseos. Muchos tratamientos y clases se han suspendido. Se subrayan positivamente las intervenciones a distancia. La crisis actual debería ser una oportunidad para reorganizar dispositivos de educación y tratamiento, atendiendo a la necesidad de cambios, con una perspectiva más ecológica, inclusiva y amigable con el autismo

O mercado da identidade. O nativismo entre o colecionismo e as galerias durante o século XX

El presente artículo indagará en la presencia y circulación del nativismo en el mercado de arte argentino, entre 1910 y 1970. Para ello, realizaré una reconstrucción del contexto de surgimiento del nativismo como campo temático y, posteriormente, abordaré dos casos que se constituyen como paradigmas de su supervivencia: la trayectoria de Jorge Bermúdez (uno de los primeros artistas nativistas en alcanzar la consagración) y la obra de Antonio Berni (que circuló por el mercado durante la segunda mitad del siglo). Como hipótesis general, sostengo que la prolongada vida del nativismo se correspondió con una presencia constante de estas obras en colecciones y galerías privadas.This paper will inquire the presence and circulation of nativism in the Argentine art market between 1910 and 1970. To that end, I will first reconstruct the context of emergence of nativism as a thematic field and, later, I will address two cases which constitute paradigms of survival—the trajectory of Jorge Bermúdez (one of the first nativist artists to achieve success) and the work of Antonio Berni (which circulated through the market during the second half of the century). As a general hypothesis, I will maintain that the prolonged life of nativism was accompanied by a constant presence of these works in private collections and galleries.O presente artigo investigará a presença e a circulação do nativismo no mercado da arte argentino, entre 1910 e 1970.

Healthcare workers hospitalized due to COVID-19 have no higher risk of death than general population. Data from the Spanish SEMI-COVID-19 Registry

Aim To determine whether healthcare workers (HCW) hospitalized in Spain due to COVID-19 have a worse prognosis than non-healthcare workers (NHCW). Methods Observational cohort study based on the SEMI-COVID-19 Registry, a nationwide registry that collects sociodemographic, clinical, laboratory, and treatment data on patients hospitalised with COVID-19 in Spain. Patients aged 20-65 years were selected. A multivariate logistic regression model was performed to identify factors associated with mortality. Results As of 22 May 2020, 4393 patients were included, of whom 419 (9.5%) were HCW. Median (interquartile range) age of HCW was 52 (15) years and 62.4% were women. Prevalence of comorbidities and severe radiological findings upon admission were less frequent in HCW. There were no difference in need of respiratory support and admission to intensive care unit, but occurrence of sepsis and in-hospital mortality was lower in HCW (1.7% vs. 3.9%; p = 0.024 and 0.7% vs. 4.8%; p<0.001 respectively). Age, male sex and comorbidity, were independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality and healthcare working with lower mortality (OR 0.211, 95%CI 0.067-0.667, p = 0.008). 30-days survival was higher in HCW (0.968 vs. 0.851 p<0.001). Conclusions Hospitalized COVID-19 HCW had fewer comorbidities and a better prognosis than NHCW. Our results suggest that professional exposure to COVID-19 in HCW does not carry more clinical severity nor mortality

Canagliflozin and renal outcomes in type 2 diabetes and nephropathy

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of kidney failure worldwide, but few effective long-term treatments are available. In cardiovascular trials of inhibitors of sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2), exploratory results have suggested that such drugs may improve renal outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS In this double-blind, randomized trial, we assigned patients with type 2 diabetes and albuminuric chronic kidney disease to receive canagliflozin, an oral SGLT2 inhibitor, at a dose of 100 mg daily or placebo. All the patients had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 30 to &lt;90 ml per minute per 1.73 m2 of body-surface area and albuminuria (ratio of albumin [mg] to creatinine [g], &gt;300 to 5000) and were treated with renin–angiotensin system blockade. The primary outcome was a composite of end-stage kidney disease (dialysis, transplantation, or a sustained estimated GFR of &lt;15 ml per minute per 1.73 m2), a doubling of the serum creatinine level, or death from renal or cardiovascular causes. Prespecified secondary outcomes were tested hierarchically. RESULTS The trial was stopped early after a planned interim analysis on the recommendation of the data and safety monitoring committee. At that time, 4401 patients had undergone randomization, with a median follow-up of 2.62 years. The relative risk of the primary outcome was 30% lower in the canagliflozin group than in the placebo group, with event rates of 43.2 and 61.2 per 1000 patient-years, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.59 to 0.82; P=0.00001). The relative risk of the renal-specific composite of end-stage kidney disease, a doubling of the creatinine level, or death from renal causes was lower by 34% (hazard ratio, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.81; P&lt;0.001), and the relative risk of end-stage kidney disease was lower by 32% (hazard ratio, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.54 to 0.86; P=0.002). The canagliflozin group also had a lower risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, or stroke (hazard ratio, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.67 to 0.95; P=0.01) and hospitalization for heart failure (hazard ratio, 0.61; 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.80; P&lt;0.001). There were no significant differences in rates of amputation or fracture. CONCLUSIONS In patients with type 2 diabetes and kidney disease, the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular events was lower in the canagliflozin group than in the placebo group at a median follow-up of 2.62 years

Mobile communication technologies and ontological security

This paper analyzes the relationship between everyday life and the mass use of mobile communication technologies, especially smartphones. From a methodological point of view, qualitative research was used in order to grasp the meanings people give to the use of such technologies. Data were gathered through 24 focus groups and 20 in-depth interviews with youths aged between 16 and 25 years of age in Santiago de Chile between 2014 and 2015. Results show that the people’s uses of mobile communication systems would be creating changes in the daily experience of time and space, and in the way in which they give stability, structure and meaning to the intersubjective world. The article concludes that the concept of ubiquitous everyday life, or hyper everyday life, may explain the meaning of the current transformations. &nbsp;&nbsp; This paper analyzes the relationship between everyday life and the mass use of mobile communication technologies, especially smartphones.

Gender pluralism and sexual diversity in the Chilean television Pluralismo de género y diversidad sexual en la televisión chilena

© 2018 Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile. All rights reserved. This paper collects the results of a research conductedfortheChileanNationalTelevision Council on respect for gender equity and diversity in Chilean television programs. We implemented a device to identify, on a sample of 167 TV person/characters, the recurrence of stereotypes, which confirmed the persistence of inequalities and gender representational biases. The research concludes that the representations and stereotypes present in the corpus, far to being limited to reproducing images and common meanings circulating in society, produce meanings that are contradictory with the advances of the social discussion about this topic

Desde el punto de vista metodológico, se utilizó un dispositivo de investigación cualitativa que buscó hacer surgir las significaciones que las personas otorgan al uso de dichas tecnologías. La información fue recolectada mediante 24 grupos focales y 20 entrevistas en profundidad a jóvenes entre 16 a 25 años en Santiago de Chile entre 2014 y 2015. Los resultados indican que los usos de los sistemas móviles de comunicación por parte de las personas, estarían produciendo cambios en la experiencia cotidiana del tiempo y del espacio, y en la forma a través de la cual los sujetos otorgan estabilidad y estructura al mundo intersubjetivo. Se concluye que el concepto de híper cotidianidad, podría explicar el sentido de las transformaciones en curso.Fondo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia (FONDECYT) of Chile, 114093
