Gestión del Capital Intelectual en las Organizaciones

The objective of the research is to analyze the management of intellectual capital in the business organization of the José Carrasco Arteaga hospital, located in Cuenca - Ecuador. Methodologically, the research was of a descriptive, non-experimental field type, working with a total sample of 324 individuals. The management of intellectual capital in the institution was established that 49% think that, if there is management of intellectual capital, while 24% do not consider that there is management of capital, while lower percentages are between sometimes there is management with 18% and 9% of respondents. The José Carrasco Arteaga specialty hospital could unify some departments into one and in this way optimize resources; In the same way, technological systems, both those that already exist and the implementation of new systems, help to reduce waiting times for patients, and optimize staff time and work.The objective of the research is to analyze the management of intellectual capital in the business organization of the José Carrasco Arteaga hospital, located in Cuenca - Ecuador.

Assessing the burden and spatial distribution of Taenia solium human neurocysticercosis in Ecuador (2013-2017).

BackgroundEstimating the burden of neglected tropical diseases is a valuable tool to support policymakers in the resource allocation for control and elimination of these diseases. Spatial analysis allows to identify the geographical distribution patterns of infectious and parasitic diseases within a country and allows to assess their possible correlation with other health disorders. Despite being neurocysticercosis (NCC) considered as the most important parasitic disease of the nervous system, few efforts have been addressed to assess the real burden of NCC in endemic countries, to date, there are no studies estimating the burden of NCC in South America. In this study we aimed to use the Disability Adjust Life Years (DALY) and spatial indicators as tools to measure the impact of human neurocysticercosis in Ecuador between 2013 and 2017.MethodsMortality, morbidity and spatial data from the national agency of statistics were used to estimate the burden of disease of NCC during a five-year period (2013-2017). NCC cases and its two main sequelae, epilepsy and migraine headache, were stratified by sex and age group to calculate the DALY associated to NCC using the DALY package in R. SATSCAN software was used to assess spatial clusters of NCC and its possible neurological sequelae as epilepsy, status epilepticus, migraine and hydrocephalus.Principal findingsThe burden of human neurocysticercosis ranged from 56201 [95% CI 29961-89333] to 59612 [95% CI 31854-94689] DALY per year, corresponding to 3.54 to 3.56 DALY per 1000 population. Average yearly incidence rates per 10 000 person-years were 0.23 [95% CI 0.21-0.26] for NCC, 4.89 [95% CI 4.78-5.00] for epilepsy, 0.130 [95% CI 0.11-0.15] for status epilepticus, 0.62 [95% CI 0.58-0.66] for migraine headache, and 1.02 [95% CI 0.98-1.07] for hydrocephalus. Most important significant spatial clusters (pConclusion/significanceThis is the first study in South America to calculate estimates for burden of NCC and one of the few using spatial analysis to show the importance of sequelae other than epilepsy that play an important role in the impact of human neurocysticercosis

Juventudes e infancias en el escenario latinoamericano y caribeño actual

Este libro nace con la intención de construir una agenda de temas centrales en torno a las infancias y las juventudes en un contexto político particular como el contemporáneo. Las múltiples colaboraciones que reúne esta obra colectiva apuntan a reconstruir los principales rasgos y consecuencias de un contexto regional de cambios y mutaciones, identificando las especificidades de cada país al mismo tiempo que detectando puntos comunes. Invitamos a las y los lectores a sumergirse en la interesante trama de los capítulos que integran esta compilación y que apuntan a establecer reflexiones y análisis para intervenir en el debate público y político por medio de lecturas críticas comprometidas con la realidad de América Latina y el Caribe. Las autoras y los autores son personas dedicadas a la investigación científica, académica y a la docencia, pero que también desarrollan diversos modos de activismo social y político. Los trabajos de este libro se postulan como un aporte político al debate y al diálogo sobre la situación de niños, niñas y jóvenes que ayude a construir agendas, a definir temas urgentes y a desplegar más y nuevos debates para la transformación de sus realidades.
