Ausentismo laboral en call center antes y durante la pandemia por covid-19, Pereira, Risaralda 2019 - 2020

Objetivo: Analizar el comportamiento del ausentismo laboral por enfermedad general y los casos reportados por COVID-19 en los trabajadores de un call center de la ciudad de Pereira durante los años 2019-2020 Materiales y métodos: Estudio cuantitativo, analítico, observacional, retrospectivo, con la aplicación de las normas NTC 3793, 0312 de 2019 y la creación de un instrumento para la clasificación por sistemas de las enfermedades generales CIE 10 mediante el análisis de la base de datos de la empresa BECALL OUTSOURCING. Resultados, conclusiones y recomendaciones: Entre los factores sociodemográficos y laborales asociados al ausentismo se evidencia que la edad de los trabajadores oscila entre los 24 y 34 años. El 36,2% corresponde a los hombres y el 63,8% a las mujeres, el mayor número y duración de las incapacidades se presenta en el cargo de agentes que es a su vez el más representativo en número dentro de la empresa. Por otra parte, entre los diagnósticos relacionados con enfermedad general, el ausentismo derivado de trastornos osteomusculares presentó un incremento del 33% posiblemente en consecuencia al poco control de las condiciones de ergonomía, iluminación, ruido y vibración que tienen las empresas en la modalidad de teletrabajo por lo que se promueve desarrollar políticas de bioseguridad mediante visitas de campo con el fin de garantizar que se mantengan las condiciones laborales para desempeñar el trabajo de manera idónea. Respecto al ausentismo por COVID19 en el segundo semestre del 2020 se reportaron 92 eventos lo que representa el 10% del total la población trabajadora. Si se compara el comportamiento del ausentismo por COVID -19 de la empresa con el reportado por el departamento de Risaralda se observa que para finales del año 2020 ambos presentan la misma tendencia al alza. Los meses en los que se reportaron mayor número de eventos fueron julio con un 30% y diciembre con un 45% llegando a ser la primera causa del ausentismo laboral en el call center, por esta razón se sugiere continuar trabajando en las campañas de bioseguridad relacionadas con el lavado de manos, distanciamiento social y uso de mascarilla quirúrgica ya que han sido estrategias exitosas para la prevención del contagio contra la COVID-19.Universidad Libre Seccional Pereira -- Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud -- Maestría en Gestión de la Seguridad y Salud en el TrabajoObjective: Analyze the behavior of work absenteeism due to general illness and the cases reported by COVID-19 in the workers of a call center in the city of Pereira during the years 2019-2020 Materials and methods: Quantitative, analytical, observational, retrospective study, with the application of the standards NTC 3793, 0312 of 2019 and the creation of an instrument for the classification by systems of general diseases CIE 10 through the analysis of the database of the BECALL OUTSOURCING Company. Results, conclusions and recommendations: Among the sociodemographic and labor factors associated with absenteeism, is evident that the age of the workers ranges between 24 and 34 years. 36.2% correspond to men and 63.8% to women. The greatest number and duration of disability occurs in the position of agents, which is the most representative in number within the Company. On the other hand, among the diagnoses related to general illness, absenteeism derived from musculoskeletal disorders presented an increase of 33%, possibly as a consequence of the little control of ergonomics, lighting, noise and vibration conditions that companies have in the telework modality Therefore, the development of biosafety policies is promoted through field visits in order to guarantee that the working conditions are maintained to perform the work in an ideal manner. Regarding absenteeism due to COVID-19 in the second semester of 2020, 92 events were reported, which represents 10% of the total working population. If the behavior of absenteeism due to COVID -19 of the company is compared with that reported by the department of Risaralda, it is observed that by the end of 2020 both present the same upward trend. The months in which the greatest number of events were reported were July with 30% and December with 45%, becoming the first cause of absenteeism in the call center, for this reason it is suggested to continue working on related biosafety campaigns with hand washing, social distancing and the use of a surgical mask since they have been successful strategies for the prevention of contagion against COVID19

body2vec: 3D Point Cloud Reconstruction for Precise Anthropometry with Handheld Devices

Current point cloud extraction methods based on photogrammetry generate large amounts of spurious detections that hamper useful 3D mesh reconstructions or, even worse, the possibility of adequate measurements. Moreover, noise removal methods for point clouds are complex, slow and incapable to cope with semantic noise. In this work, we present body2vec, a model-based body segmentation tool that uses a specifically trained Neural Network architecture. Body2vec is capable to perform human body point cloud reconstruction from videos taken on hand-held devices (smartphones or tablets), achieving high quality anthropometric measurements. The main contribution of the proposed workflow is to perform a background removal step, thus avoiding the spurious points generation that is usual in photogrammetric reconstruction. A group of 60 persons were taped with a smartphone, and the corresponding point clouds were obtained automatically with standard photogrammetric methods. We used as a 3D silver standard the clean meshes obtained at the same time with LiDAR sensors post-processed and noise-filtered by expert anthropological biologists. Finally, we used as gold standard anthropometric measurements of the waist and hip of the same people, taken by expert anthropometrists. Applying our method to the raw videos significantly enhanced the quality of the results of the point cloud as compared with the LiDAR-based mesh, and of the anthropometric measurements as compared with the actual hip and waist perimeter measured by the anthropometrists. In both contexts, the resulting quality of body2vec is equivalent to the LiDAR reconstruction.Fil: Trujillo Jiménez, Magda Alexandra. Universidad Nacional del Sur.

Scale-up of the electrokinetic fence technology for the removal of pesticides: Part I: Some notes about the transport of inorganic species

This work describes the application electrokinetic fence technology to a soil polluted with herbicides in a large prototype containing 32 m3 of soil. It compares performance in this large facility with results previously obtained in a pilot-scale mockup (175 L) and with results obtained in a lab-scale soil column (1 L), all of them operated under the same driving force: an electric field of 1.0 V cm−1. Within this wide context, this work focuses on the effect on inorganic species contained in soil and describes the main processes occurring in the prototype facility, as well as the differences observed respect to the lower scale plants. Thus, despite the same processes can be described in the three plants, important differences are observed in the evolution of the current intensity, moisture and conductivity. They can be related to the less important electroosmotic fluxes in the larger facilities and to the very different distances between electrodes, which lead to very different distribution of species and even to a very different evolution of the resulting current intensity. 2-D maps of the main species at different relevant moments of the test are discussed and important information is drawn from them. Ions depletion from soil appears as a very important problem which should be prevented if the effect of natural bioremediation and/or phytoremediation on the removal or organics aims to be accounted

Single nucleotide variations in ZBTB46 are associated with post-thrombolytic parenchymal haematoma

Haemorrhagic transformation is a complication of recombinant tissue-plasminogen activator treatment. The most severe form, parenchymal haematoma, can result in neurological deterioration, disability, and death. Our objective was to identify single nucleotide variations associated with a risk of parenchymal haematoma following thrombolytic therapy in patients with acute ischaemic stroke. A fixed-effect genome-wide meta-analysis was performed combining two-stage genome-wide association studies (n = 1904). The discovery stage (three cohorts) comprised 1324 ischaemic stroke individuals, 5.4% of whom had a parenchymal haematoma. Genetic variants yielding a P-value < 0.05 1 x 10(-5) were analysed in the validation stage (six cohorts), formed by 580 ischaemic stroke patients with 12.1% haemorrhagic events. All participants received recombinant tissue-plasminogen activator; cases were parenchymal haematoma type 1 or 2 as defined by the European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study (ECASS) criteria. Genome-wide significant findings (P < 5 x 10(-8)) were characterized by in silica functional annotation, gene expression, and DNA regulatory elements. We analysed 7 989 272 single nucleotide polymorphisms and identified a genome-wide association locus on chromosome 20 in the discovery cohort; functional annotation indicated that the ZBTB46 gene was driving the association for chromosome 20. The top single nucleotide polymorphism was rs76484331 in the ZBTB46 gene [P = 2.49 x 10(-8); odds ratio (OR): 11.21; 95% confidence interval (CI): 4.82-26.55]. In the replication cohort (n = 580), the rs76484331 polymorphism was associated with parenchymal haematoma (P = 0.01), and the overall association after meta-analysis increased (P = 1.61 x 10(-8), OR: 5.84; 95% CI: 3.16-10.76). ZBTB46 codes the zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 46 that acts as a transcription factor. In silica studies indicated that ZBTB46 is expressed in brain tissue by neurons and endothelial cells. Moreover, rs76484331 interacts with the promoter sites located at 20q13. In conclusion, we identified single nucleotide variants in the ZBTB46 gene associated with a higher risk of parenchymal haematoma following recombinant tissue-plasminogen activator treatment.Peer reviewe
