Creatures del Monte

To visually represent the multifaceted hybrid identity; a multidimensional artistic approach was necessary. I considered all the physical, psychological and cultural truths of my family. I explored our relationships, our behaviors and our responses as we simultaneously identify with the Latino and Anglo North American cultures and exist within its ever-changing parameters. Two streams of thought emerged in my artwork. One explores the characteristics and bi-cultural composition of my immediate family. The other looks at recalling past and distant members of my extended family as our points of origin while identifying the visible and invisible forces that shape our characters. Our natural response to mix the Anglo and Latino is reflected in my artistic process by developing a visual image through various mediums

CAP Limits in Telecom Subscriber Database Design

While the notion of a Distributed DBMS has been familiar to the IT industry for several decades, within telecom networks the subscriber data management based on DDBMS technology is a novel addition to a service provider's infrastructure. Service providers are used to telecom networks that are efficient, reliable and easy to maintain and operate, in part thanks to the node model used in designing such networks. A DDBMS spanning a large geographical area however incurs into distributed systems issues not previously seen in telecom networks. Identifying and delivering the right set of trade-offs that satisfies the service providers ’ needs while staying within the known physical bounds of a distributed system is therefore crucial if DDBMS are to conquer the subscriber management space within telecom networks. 1

Addressing Minority Health Disparities in Richmond: Results from a Health Needs Assessment of a Southside Community

Background: Evidence shows the effectiveness of integrating community health workers (CHWs) into care models serving high-risk patients to reduce emergency department (ED) use, increase primary care use, and address adverse social determinants of health (SDH). The Southwood Resource Center, part of a network of clinics established by Richmond City Health Department, utilizes CHWs to address disparities affecting underserved populations through primary care referrals and additional resource linkages. Local student-volunteers in partnership with CHWs conducted a community needs assessment to identify patient resource gaps, aid in design and implementation of SDH interventions, and examine the relationship between chronic disease management and ED use reductions. Methods: English and Spanish-language surveys were conducted during patient visits to the SRC, in addition to other settings to facilitate representative sampling. A total of 134 responses were received, with Blacks (34%) and Hispanic/Latinos (65%) well represented. Results: Significant social determinants identified by the needs assessment included housing stability, and transportation and food access. Respondents indicated need for support managing chronic conditions including heart disease, diabetes, mental health and asthma. 1 in 3 respondents (31%) reported using the ED for primary care, and nearly 2 in 3 (66%) reported not having a family doctor. Barriers to health care included cost (35.6%), insurance status (50.4%) and transportation access (29.6%). Conclusions: CHWs play an important role in identifying community strengths and resource gaps and linking patients to additional resources. Opportunities for service improvements include bilingual care coordination, chronic care management, health insurance navigation, food subsistence resources, and transportation support.https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/gradposters/1104/thumbnail.jp

Reflexiones finales

Cpítulo de cierre del libro "Desarrollo psicocultural de niños mexicanos" en el que se presenta una panorámica de algunos contextos y situaciones particulares que afectan el desarrollo de los niños, explicando la manera en que se da tal desarrollo. Con esto se quiso mostrar la relevancia de considerar que el desarrollo de los niños de México no puede interpretarse siguiendo resultados de la investigación realizada en otras naciones o grupos culturales. Más aún, es importante reconocer que al interior del país existen variantes en las tradiciones culturales y en las condiciones históricas y socioeconómicas que orientan las posibilidades y oportunidades de desarrollo de los niños de una manera diferenciada.ITESO A.C

Contrastes en el desarrollo sociocognitivo de niños en contextos urbanos y rurales o indígenas de México

En este trabajo se contrastan algunos aspectos del desarrollo de los niños en contextos urbanos, contextos rurales y comunidades indígenas de México. Tales aspectos incluyen funciones sociocognoscitivas básicas como la observación, atención y la comunicación, y por otra parte, aspectos complejos de la interacción social como es la interacción colaborativa y de ayuda. Todos ellos son aspectos interconectados que no solo impactan en el desarrollo sociocognitivo–emotivo de los niños sino también en su participación y desarrollo como miembros de las comunidades a las que pertenecen, es decir, en su desarrollo psicocultural
