    Este trabajo de investigación realiza una revisión del sector educativo de la ciudad de Manizales desde un enfoque sistémico y de capitales y hace una propuesta de potenciación de la educación en el marco de la apuesta de desarrollo de sociedad del conocimiento, basada en la participación de un grupo de actores sociales protagónicos en el procesos de planificación y gestión en la ciudad. La caracterización del sistema educativo local, condensado en un diagnóstico estratégico se hace desde la revisión del contexto en las dimensiones ambiental, físico-espacial, económico productivo, socio cultural y político institucional; en un marco referencial sobre la educación en Colombia y en los conceptos contemporáneos de las sociedades del conocimiento; desde la revisión de los planes de desarrollo del período 2004-2010 y la identificación de los intervinientes con los propósitos planteados en estos documentos y finalmente desde la revisión del mapa de actores estratégicos a la luz de los capitales intangibles. La propuesta de planificación se realizó también desde el enfoque sistémico y enuncia las características fundamentales que requiere asumir el sistema educativo local en busca de ampliar su aporte a la propuesta de desarrollo, movilizada durante la primera década del nuevo siglo en la ciudad, que busca enrutar a Manizales hacia una sociedad del conocimiento; destacando la educación como un ámbito determinante en este propósito y su necesidad de articularse de manera sistémica al resto del sistema social como un elemento movilizador de los capitales sinergéticos, capaz de hacer emerger el desarrollo. La manifestación colectiva de más de 99 mil ciudadanos en el Voto por la Educación “Yo me comprometo a hacer de la educación lo más importante en mi familia y mi ciudad, y voto para que la calidad de la misma sea la prioridad en las acciones públicas y privadas, como motor del desarrollo equitativo en Manizales” (Noviembre de 2011) se convierten en un escenario privilegiado que fortalece la identidad local y la enfoca en un propósito común que otorga valor a los intangibles para producir desarrollo, por lo que es importante avanzar desde este consenso social y político en la definición programas y acciones que transformen la ciudad.This research work carries out a review of the educational sector of the city of Manizales from a systemic and capital approach and makes a proposal to promote education within the framework of the commitment to the development of a knowledge society, based on the participation of a group of leading social actors in the planning and management processes in the city. The characterization of the local educational system, condensed in a strategic diagnosis, is made from the review of the context in the environmental, physical-spatial, economic-productive, socio-cultural and institutional political dimensions; in a referential framework on education in Colombia and in contemporary concepts of knowledge societies; from the review of the development plans for the period 2004-2010 and the identification of those involved with the purposes outlined in these documents and finally from the review of the map of strategic actors in light of intangible capital. The planning proposal was also made from the systemic approach and states the fundamental characteristics that the local educational system requires to assume in search of expanding its contribution to the development proposal, mobilized during the first decade of the new century in the city, which seeks to route to Manizales towards a knowledge society; highlighting education as a determining area in this purpose and its need to articulate in a systemic way with the rest of the social system as a mobilizing element of synergistic capital, capable of making development emerge. The collective demonstration of more than 99 thousand citizens in the Vote for Education "I am committed to making education the most important thing in my family and my city, and I vote so that its quality is the priority in public actions and private, as an engine of equitable development in Manizales ”(November 2011) become a privileged setting that strengthens local identity and focuses it on a common purpose that gives value to intangibles to produce development, so it is important to move forward from this social and political consensus in defining programs and actions that transform the city

    Fallopian canal meningocele is an extremely rare cause of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea. Also, due to complex anatomical relations and a lack of experience, its management remains a challenge. Here we report a case focusing on its clinical course, radiological features, and management

    Docosahexaenoic Acid and Melatonin Prevent Impaired Oligodendrogenesis Induced by Intrauterine Growth Restriction (IUGR)

    In this study, our aims were to characterize oligodendrogenesis alterations in fetuses with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and to find therapeutic strategies to prevent/treat them using a novel rabbit in vitro neurosphere culture. IUGR was surgically induced in one uterine horn of pregnant rabbits, while the contralateral horn served as a control. Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) were obtained from pup's whole brain and cultured as neurospheres mimicking the basic processes of brain development including migration and cell differentiation. Five substances, chosen based on evidence provided in the literature, were screened in vitro in neurospheres from untreated rabbits: Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), melatonin (MEL), zinc, 3,3',5-Triiodo-L-thyronine (T3), and lactoferrin (LF) or its metabolite sialic acid (SA). DHA, MEL and LF were further selected for in vivo administration and subsequent evaluation in the Neurosphere Assay. In the IUGR culture, we observed a significantly reduced percentage of oligodendrocytes (OLs) which correlated with clinical findings indicating white matter injury in IUGR infants. We identified DHA and MEL as the most effective therapies. In all cases, our in vitro rabbit neurosphere assay predicted the outcome of the in vivo administration of the therapies and confirmed the reliability of the model, making it a powerful and consistent tool to select new neuroprotective therapies

    tabla 1 preguntas formulacion de preguntas circulares,reflexivas y estrategicas .El ejercicio que realizamos es de gran importancia ya que el estudio de casos nos acerca directamente a experiencias reales registradas permitiéndonos conocer las situaciones emergentes por las que pasan las comunidades vulneradas por hechos de violencia. Su principal objetivo es producir un conocimiento útil basado en interrogantes que nos brindan la información necesaria para ayudarles en la búsqueda de un bienestar, preparándonos de una forma transversal para el trabajo de campo en escenarios de violencia. Profundizamos en el estudio de casos de violencia y cómo estos afectan la subjetividad del individuo aflorando su capacidad de reponerse frente a estas situaciones de estrés en tales panoramas de desplazamiento forzado, por tal razón hay un aprendizaje individual y luego este aprendizaje se extrapola al trabajo colaborativo, donde también convergen las subjetividades de cada uno de los integrantes del grupo. Palabras claves: violencia, emergentes, comunidades, bienestar, subjetividad, desplazamiento.The exercise we carry out is of great importance because the case study brings us directly to the real experiences recorded, allowing us to know the emergent situations through which the communities violated by acts of violence pass. Its main objective is to produce knowledge based on the questions that provide us with the necessary information to help in the search for well-being, preparing ourselves in a transversal way for field work in the scenarios of violence. We deepened in the study of cases of violence and how they affect the subjectivity of the individual in their ability to respond to these situations of stress in forced displacement scenarios, why there is an individual learning and then this learning is extrapolated to collaborative work, where the subjectivities of each one of the members of the group also converge. Keywords: violence, emerging, communities, wellbeing, subjectivity, displacement

    Squamous cell carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, and larynx: a scoping review of treatment guidelines worldwide

    Get PDF
    Head and neck cancer (HNC) treatments have been based on single or multimodal therapies with surgery, radiotherapy (RT), chemotherapy, and immunotherapy. However, treatment recommendations among countries may differ due to technological/human resources and usual local practices. This scoping review aims to identify, compare, and map the clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for treating squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the oral cavity, oropharynx, and larynx worldwide. A search strategy on global CPGs for HNC was performed by using five electronic databases and grey literature. CPGs were selected for inclusion using EndNote-20 and Rayyan online software. No language or publication date restrictions were applied. The results were analyzed descriptively considering the most updated CPG version. In total, 25 CPGs covering the head and neck region (10), the larynx (7), the oral cavity (5), and the oropharynx (3), were found in 13 geographical regions, and 19 were developed by medical societies from 1996 to 2023. Surgery and RT remain the main modalities for early-stage HNC, with surgery preferred in low-resource countries, and RT in selected cases, especially in the larynx/oropharynx aiming to achieve a cure with organ preservation. Human papillomavirus infection for oropharyngeal SCC is not tested in some Asian countries and there is still no consensus to treat p16-positive cases differently from p16-negative. Recommendations for larynx preservation vary according to facilities in each country, however, individualized choice is emphasized. Inequality across countries/continents is evident, with a similar pattern of recommendations among developed as well as developing ones. No CPGs were found in Latin America as well as Oceania countries, where the incidence of HNC is high and limitations of access to treatment may be encountered

    Cross-cutting principles for planetary health education

    Get PDF
    Since the 2015 launch of the Rockefeller Foundation Lancet Commission on planetary health,1 an enormous groundswell of interest in planetary health education has emerged across many disciplines, institutions, and geographical regions. Advancing these global efforts in planetary health education will equip the next generation of scholars to address crucial questions in this emerging field and support the development of a community of practice. To provide a foundation for the growing interest and efforts in this field, the Planetary Health Alliance has facilitated the first attempt to create a set of principles for planetary health education that intersect education at all levels, across all scales, and in all regions of the world—ie, a set of cross-cutting principles

    Factors influencing terrestriality in primates of the Americas and Madagascar

    Get PDF
    Among mammals, the order Primates is exceptional in having a high taxonomic richness in which the taxa are arboreal, semiterrestrial, or terrestrial. Although habitual terrestriality is pervasive among the apes and African and Asian monkeys (catarrhines), it is largely absent among monkeys of the Americas (platyrrhines), as well as galagos, lemurs, and lorises (strepsirrhines), which are mostly arboreal. Numerous ecological drivers and species-specific factors are suggested to set the conditions for an evolutionary shift from arboreality to terrestriality, and current environmental conditions may provide analogous scenarios to those transitional periods. Therefore, we investigated predominantly arboreal, diurnal primate genera from the Americas and Madagascar that lack fully terrestrial taxa, to determine whether ecological drivers (habitat canopy cover, predation risk, maximum temperature, precipitation, primate species richness, human population density, and distance to roads) or species-specific traits (bodymass, group size, and degree of frugivory) associate with increased terrestriality. We collated 150,961 observation hours across 2,227 months from 47 species at 20 sites in Madagascar and 48 sites in the Americas. Multiple factors were associated with ground use in these otherwise arboreal species, including increased temperature, a decrease in canopy cover, a dietary shift away from frugivory, and larger group size. These factors mostly explain intraspecific differences in terrestriality. As humanity modifies habitats and causes climate change, our results suggest that species already inhabiting hot, sparsely canopied sites, and exhibiting more generalized diets, are more likely to shift toward greater ground use
