Diseño de un programa de salud ocupacional para la empresa ETEC S. A

El trabajo es una actividad que el individuo desarrolla para satisfacer sus necesidades básicas y obtener unas condiciones de vida acordes con su dignidad humana y así poder realizarse como persona, tanto física como intelectual y socialmente. Para trabajar con eficiencia es necesario estar en buenas condiciones de salud, pero desafortunadamente en muchas ocasiones, el trabajo contribuye a deteriorar la salud del individuo, debido a la exposición paulatina a una serie de factores de riesgo, químicos, biológicos, de seguridad, ergonómicos y psicológicos, los cuales afectan el estado de salud de los trabajadores y la productividad de la empresa. Uno de los conceptos más claros en salud ocupacional es el carácter indivisible de la relación SALUD-TRABAJO, entendida como el vinculo del individuo con la labor que desempeña y la influencia que sobre la salud acarrea dicha labor. Estos factores condicionantes de la salud de los trabajadores están dados por las condiciones de trabajo y están constituidas por factores del ambiente, de la tarea, de la organización y el empleado

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat

Cobertura municipal da educação profissional via regime de colaboração: uma prática possível? Cobertura municipal de la educación profesional por la via del régimen de colaboración: una práctica posible? Municipal covering of the professional education through a contribution regimen: a possible practice?

O artigo visa à problematização do envolvimento dos sistemas municipais públicos de educação na cobertura das demandas locais por Educação Profissional, tomando por base a possibilidade de realizar-se via Regime de Colaboração entre os entes federados. De modo a exemplificar as reflexões realizadas, evocam-se alguns dos resultados de pesquisa de survey, de caráter descritivo e exploratório, realizada junto a Municípios do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Como conclusão mais geral, constata, de um lado, que a cooperação advinda da União e dos Estados pela via do Regime de Colaboração vem se mostrando tímida ao atendimento desta modalidade de educação, abrindo espaço para a atuação do setor privado em sua cobertura, e, de outro, que a produção científica neste campo ainda se mostra incipiente, dificultando a compreensão, entre outros aspectos, da identidade da Educação Profissional no âmbito dos sistemas educacionais, particularmente municipal, de modo a verificar a pertinência de se considerá-la, formalmente, como objeto de ação cooperada entre os entes federados.<br>El artículo tiene como objetivo la problematización del envolvimiento de los sistemas municipales públicos de educación en la cobertura de las demandas locales por Educación Profesional, tomando por base tres ejes analíticos centrales: el Régimen de Colaboración entre los entes federados, las asociaciones público-privado y las relaciones entre el desarrollo económico local y la promoción de la Educación Profesional. De modo a ilustrar las reflexiones realizadas, son evocados algunos de los resultados de investigación de survey, de carácter descriptivo y explorador, realizada en los Municipios del Estado de Rio de Janeiro. Como conclusión más general, se constata que la cooperación advenida de la Unión y de los Estados por la vía del Régimen de Colaboración, se viene mostrando tímida a su atención, sobresaliendo la creciente actuación del sector privado en su cobertura, notadamente del "Sistema S", al margen de la existencia de políticas públicas que visen, sistemáticamente, el acompañamiento y evaluación de esas iniciativas. Es notable también que esas acciones exponen una dupla desvinculación: de un lado, con relación a eventuales políticas municipales y/o estaduales de generación de trabajo y renta, y, de otro, en lo que remite a los Programas y Proyectos dirigidos a la atención de la Educación de Jóvenes y de Adultos (EJA).<br>The article discusses the difficulties of commitment of the public municipal education system with the local demands for Professional Education, taking in consideration the possibility to do it through a Contribution Regimen among the federate beings. In order to demonstrate these reflections, the article shows some of the results of a research conducted in various municipalities of the State of Rio de Janeiro. As a general result we conclude that the Government Cooperation through the Contribution System is still timid and fragile when it comes to professional education, creating space for the private sector (the S System as Senai, Senat among others) to fill this gap. On the other hand, the scientific production in this field is in its early stages, making it difficult to understand the role of Professional Education in the scope of the educational systems, mainly in the municipal sphere as an object of cooperation among the federate beings

Grazing and ecosystem service delivery in global drylands

Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure, climate, soil properties, and biodiversity may occur but have never been addressed simultaneously. Using a standardized survey at 98 sites across six continents, we show that interactions between grazing pressure, climate, soil, and biodiversity are critical to explain the delivery of fundamental ecosystem services across drylands worldwide. Increasing grazing pressure reduced ecosystem service delivery in warmer and species-poor drylands, whereas positive effects of grazing were observed in colder and species-rich areas. Considering interactions between grazing and local abiotic and biotic factors is key for understanding the fate of dryland ecosystems under climate change and increasing human pressure

Hotspots of biogeochemical activity linked to aridity and plant traits across global drylands

Perennial plants create productive and biodiverse hotspots, known as fertile islands, beneath their canopies. These hotspots largely determine the structure and functioning of drylands worldwide. Despite their ubiquity, the factors controlling fertile islands under conditions of contrasting grazing by livestock, the most prevalent land use in drylands, remain virtually unknown. Here we evaluated the relative importance of grazing pressure and herbivore type, climate and plant functional traits on 24 soil physical and chemical attributes that represent proxies of key ecosystem services related to decomposition, soil fertility, and soil and water conservation. To do this, we conducted a standardized global survey of 288 plots at 88 sites in 25 countries worldwide. We show that aridity and plant traits are the major factors associated with the magnitude of plant effects on fertile islands in grazed drylands worldwide. Grazing pressure had little influence on the capacity of plants to support fertile islands. Taller and wider shrubs and grasses supported stronger island effects. Stable and functional soils tended to be linked to species-rich sites with taller plants. Together, our findings dispel the notion that grazing pressure or herbivore type are linked to the formation or intensification of fertile islands in drylands. Rather, our study suggests that changes in aridity, and processes that alter island identity and therefore plant traits, will have marked effects on how perennial plants support and maintain the functioning of drylands in a more arid and grazed world.This research was supported by the European Research Council (ERC grant 647038 (BIODESERT) awarded to F.T.M.) and Generalitat Valenciana (CIDEGENT/2018/041).
