El Oasis: propuesta para la recuperación de la cultura pesquera

El trabajo se centra en el desarrollo de un proyecto como solución a las problemáticas encontradas en una comunidad pesquera, situada sobre la Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta. Este, es una transformación urbana y paisajística a la que se le denominó: “El Oasis, propuesta para la recuperación de la cultura pesquera”. La importancia de la realización de proyectos de transformaciones urbanas y del paisaje, ubicados en asentamientos informales, radica en la búsqueda de la mejora en las condiciones de vida de poblaciones que se encuentran en estado de pobreza o pobreza extrema. Esto ocurre debido a la renovación o transformación del entorno de viviendas y del espacio urbano en el que se encuentran, ya sea con el fin de lograr el progreso social, el desarrollo sostenible y disminuir la pobreza a través de mecanismos como el ordenamiento urbano barrial, la legalización y regularización del barrio y el planeamiento de proyectos de estructura básica y equipamientos. Con el fin de cumplir con el objetivo de mejorar las condiciones de habitabilidad y calidad de vida en el asentamiento informal de la comunidad del Oasis, se realizó mediante un proceso de participación, el diseño de tres propuestas de intervención en tres diferentes escalas, vivienda, espacio público y equipamiento. Es mediante el desarrollo de estos proyecto, que se pretende dar solución a las problemáticas relacionadas con la recuperación del ecosistema, el equilibrio al habitar y las condiciones adecuadas para convivir en comunidad.PregradoArquitect

Mamíferos en áreas de conservación de la Corporación Autónoma Regional del Quindío, Colombia

We present a list of medium and large mammals occurring in 11 conservation areas of the department of Quindío, Colombia. The field phase was developed in five municipalities, between July and December 2016, and sampling included transect routes and installation of camera traps. We confirm the occurrence of 21 species of mammals in the studied areas. The areas with the highest number of species are part of the Reserva Forestal Central or are close to other conservation areas, a situation that could facilitate the connection between reserves through biological corridors. Four of the recorded species are under threat category: Tapirus pinchaque (Endangered), Aotus lemurinus, Leopardus tigrinus and Mazama rufina (Vulnerable). The presence of Leopardus pardalis is highlighted as a new record for the department.Se presenta el listado de los mamíferos medianos y grandes registrados en 11 áreas de conservación del departamento del Quindío, Colombia.

Paediatric COVID-19 mortality: a database analysis of the impact of health resource disparity

Background The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on paediatric populations varied between high-income countries (HICs) versus low-income to middle-income countries (LMICs). We sought to investigate differences in paediatric clinical outcomes and identify factors contributing to disparity between countries.Methods The International Severe Acute Respiratory and Emerging Infections Consortium (ISARIC) COVID-19 database was queried to include children under 19 years of age admitted to hospital from January 2020 to April 2021 with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 diagnosis. Univariate and multivariable analysis of contributing factors for mortality were assessed by country group (HICs vs LMICs) as defined by the World Bank criteria.Results A total of 12 860 children (3819 from 21 HICs and 9041 from 15 LMICs) participated in this study. Of these, 8961 were laboratory-confirmed and 3899 suspected COVID-19 cases. About 52% of LMICs children were black, and more than 40% were infants and adolescent. Overall in-hospital mortality rate (95% CI) was 3.3% [=(3.0% to 3.6%), higher in LMICs than HICs (4.0% (3.6% to 4.4%) and 1.7% (1.3% to 2.1%), respectively). There were significant differences between country income groups in intervention profile, with higher use of antibiotics, antivirals, corticosteroids, prone positioning, high flow nasal cannula, non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation in HICs. Out of the 439 mechanically ventilated children, mortality occurred in 106 (24.1%) subjects, which was higher in LMICs than HICs (89 (43.6%) vs 17 (7.2%) respectively). Pre-existing infectious comorbidities (tuberculosis and HIV) and some complications (bacterial pneumonia, acute respiratory distress syndrome and myocarditis) were significantly higher in LMICs compared with HICs. On multivariable analysis, LMIC as country income group was associated with increased risk of mortality (adjusted HR 4.73 (3.16 to 7.10)).Conclusion Mortality and morbidities were higher in LMICs than HICs, and it may be attributable to differences in patient demographics, complications and access to supportive and treatment modalities

Diminishing benefits of urban living for children and adolescents’ growth and development

Optimal growth and development in childhood and adolescence is crucial for lifelong health and well-being1–6. Here we used data from 2,325 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight from 71 million participants, to report the height and body-mass index (BMI) of children and adolescents aged 5–19 years on the basis of rural and urban place of residence in 200 countries and territories from 1990 to 2020. In 1990, children and adolescents residing in cities were taller than their rural counterparts in all but a few high-income countries. By 2020, the urban height advantage became smaller in most countries, and in many high-income western countries it reversed into a small urban-based disadvantage. The exception was for boys in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa and in some countries in Oceania, south Asia and the region of central Asia, Middle East and north Africa. In these countries, successive cohorts of boys from rural places either did not gain height or possibly became shorter, and hence fell further behind their urban peers. The difference between the age-standardized mean BMI of children in urban and rural areas was <1.1 kg m–2 in the vast majority of countries. Within this small range, BMI increased slightly more in cities than in rural areas, except in south Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and some countries in central and eastern Europe. Our results show that in much of the world, the growth and developmental advantages of living in cities have diminished in the twenty-first century, whereas in much of sub-Saharan Africa they have amplified
