El trabajo de campo fue abordado durante agosto 2016, se utilizó un modelo mixto de investigación que permitió determinar las afecciones emocionales causadas como consecuencia de la discriminación laboral por domicilio. La información se obtuvo por medio de dos instrumentos de recolección de datos propuestos por las investigadoras, para luego, brindar estrategias de afrontamiento psicológico que permitieran disminuir la incidencia de las afecciones diagnosticadas. Se concluyó el proceso con la evaluación de los resultados obtenidos de las estrategias de afrontamiento brindadas, lo cual se socializó como impacto del trabajo realizado. Una conclusión muy general que responde a las interrogantes planteadas confirma la existencia de la discriminación laboral por domicilio y, determina que las afecciones emocionales más recurrentes como resultado de dicha problemática son las relacionadas al establecimiento de relaciones interpersonales con su entorno de vivienda o una leve conducta antisocial, asimismo las problemáticas familiares y baja autoestima

    This report presents the first estimates of Consensual Approach multidimensional adult and child poverty in Uganda, using adult and child-specific measures of multidimensional poverty. It shows that adult and child poverty in Uganda have a clear geographical distribution and concentration, with high multidimensional poverty rates in the north. However, the subcounty-level poverty estimates also suggest that poverty is very high in the north east, the south west and some areas in the north west. Moreover, although adults and children in Kampala experience lower rates, the distribution of poverty within Kampala is not homogeneous, and there are parishes with child poverty rates of up to three times higher than the average. Finally, we show that many of these small area spatial patterns match the distribution of public services, such as distance to public health facilities and primary schools. ho This report showcases best practice from the literature while keeping to a minimum technical language. It aims to be a comprehensive and accessible analysis of the spatial patterning and concentration of multidimensional poverty in Uganda and also provide a user-friendly and step-by-step framework for future SAE analyses in Uganda

    In patients with kidney disease, the presence of reactive renal cells has been reported. These cells show several morphological alterations that difficult their classification and interpretation. Therefore, the knowledge of its morphological characteristics and sediments patterns where they can be found will helpful for their correct management by medical departments. Here, we reported the presence of renal cells grouped in acinus with abundant cytoplasm, cariomegaly, irregular nuclear contours and prominent nucleoli, accompanied with cilindruria and fatty oval bodies in the urinary sediment of two patients with Diabetes Mellitus, these cells were named as reactive renal cells.En pacientes con enfermedad renal se ha reportado la presencia de células renales reactivas, cuyas alteraciones morfológicas severas dificultan su clasificación e interpretación. El conocimiento de las características morfológicas y los patrones de sedimentos en donde se presentan pueden ser de ayuda para su manejo en los departamentos médicos correspondientes. Aquí, nosotros reportamos la presencia de células agrupadas en acinos, con abundante citoplasma, cariomegalia, contornos nucleares irregulares y nucléolos prominentes, acompañados de cilindruria y cuerpos ovales grasos en el sedimento urinario de dos pacientes con diabetes mellitus, las cuales fueron sugestivas de células renales reactivas

    BACKGROUND:Violence against women by an intimate partner (DV) is a serious public health and human rights issue. Attitudes justifying DV strongly predict its perpetration and victimisation. This paper presents gendered ecological analyses of the societal acceptance of DV in 49 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) across geographical regions. METHODS AND FINDINGS:We utilised data from 49 Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between 2005 and 2017, United Nations Statistics and topic-specific meta-databases. DV acceptance was measured as the justification of 'wife-beating' in at least one of five circumstances, and by the summative scale. Stepwise multiple linear regression examined country-level social, economic and political empowerment predictors of societal acceptance of DV amongst women, men, and the aggregate gender difference. Women were more likely than men to justify DV in Sub-Saharan Africa and South (east) Asia with societal acceptance of DV being more widespread in these regions compared with Latin America, the Caribbean, Central/West Asia and Europe. Political conflict and limited economic rights for women were associated with higher levels of DV acceptance amongst women and men. Men in more democratic countries were less likely to justify DV. Amongst women, higher national female literacy rates predicted lower levels of justification. There were higher levels of DV acceptance amongst women and a wider aggregate gender difference in countries with a larger representation of women in national parliament. CONCLUSION:Justification of DV is widespread amongst women and men in LMICs with acceptance rates varying across countries and regions. Gender differences in the impact of contextual factors on DV acceptance supports a gendered approach to national-level interventions. Our findings highlight the need for tailored interventions targeting DV acceptance in conflict-impacted societies. The emphasis of inter(national) policies on the 'empowerment' domains of widely-used gender (in)equality indices need to be coupled with strategies tackling discriminatory gender norms
