Reputación corporativa en una universidad pública formadora de trabajadores sociales de la salud pública

Problematic: in a context of risk, the reputation of an organization is affected by the expectations of its members. Consequently, the prestige of the organization is a function of the future needs of its members, when they converge on a common purpose and task. Objectives: to establish the structure of expectations around the reputation of a higher education institution (HEI), comparing the literature review with the responses to a survey. Materials and methods: an exploratory, cross-sectional and psychometric study was carried out with a sample of 100 students. Results: the structure of seven factors was established (follow-up, adherence, counseling, interview, mediation, promotion and follow-up) that supported 82% of the total variance explained. In other words, corporate reputation is explained through the relationship between these seven factors, as they clarify the internal and external expectations of the public institution. Discussion: the study's contribution to the state of knowledge lies in the testing of a structural equation model to explain corporate reputation in a public university. The seven established factors follow the same relationships reported in the selected literature, although the percentage of the variance explained suggests the inclusion of an eighth factor, identified as corporate image. These are expectations external to the institution that place it in accordance with the medium-term objectives. Conclusion: corporate reputation is linked to accompaniment as a preponderant factor. It means, then, that both internally and externally the university is distinguished by its degree of attention and monitoring of academic rights. Consequently, educational policies can be evaluated from corporate reputation as an indicator of participation and governance. Contribution / originality: the reliability and validity of an instrument that measured seven dimensions of corporate reputation was established.Problemática: en un contexto de riesgo, la reputación de una organización se afecta por las expectativas de sus integrantes. Por consiguiente, el prestigio de la organización está en función de las necesidades futuras de sus integrantes, cuando estos convergen en un propósito y tarea común. Objetivos: establecer la estructura de expectativas en torno a la reputación de una institución de educación superior (IES), comparando la revisión de la literatura con las respuestas de una encuesta. Materiales y métodos: se realizó un estudio exploratorio, transversal y psicométrico con una muestra de 100 estudiantes. Resultados: se estableció la estructura de siete factores (acompañamiento, adhesión, consejería, entrevista, mediación, promoción y seguimiento) que fundamentaron el 82% de la varianza total explicada. Es decir, la reputación corporativa se explica a través de la relación entre estos siete factores, ya que aclaran las expectativas internas y externas de la institución pública. Discusión: el aporte del estudio al estado del conocimiento radica en la contrastación de un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para explicar la reputación corporativa en una universidad pública. Los siete factores establecidos siguen las mismas relaciones reportadas en la literatura seleccionada, aunque el porcentaje de la varianza explicada sugiere la inclusión de un octavo factor, identificado como imagen corporativa. Se trata de expectativas externas a la institución que la ubican de acuerdo con los objetivos a mediano plazo. Conclusión: la reputación corporativa está vinculada al acompañamiento como factor preponderante. Significa, entonces, que tanto interna como externamente la universidad se distingue por su grado de atención y seguimiento a los derechos académicos. Por consiguiente, las políticas educativas pueden ser evaluadas desde la reputación corporativa como indicador de participación y gobernanza. Contribución / originalidad: se estableció la fiabilidad y validez de un instrumento que midió siete dimensiones de la reputación corporativa

Network of Water Problems in the Press of Mexico City during the COVID-19 Era

The pandemic led to containment and mitigation policies, as well as distancing and confinement strategies that limited the supply of water resources to social sectors. Residential areas-maintained supply, but with an increase in rates. Marginalized areas were subsidized and exempted from paying for an increasingly intermittent supply. Anti- COVID-19 policies guided water policies in two ways: The first consisted of disseminating anti-COVID-19 policies in water management agencies. Another second consisted of the autonomy of the institutions and their decoupling or concordance with anti-COVID-19 policies. In this way, the literature from 2019 to 2022 around anti-COVID-19 policies in their water dimensions, register problems of scarcity, famine and unhealthiness. The scarcity had already been observed in the marginalized sectors, the famine in the residential areas, but the unhealthiness was appreciated in the migrant communities. In fact, the type of exposure to occupational hazards determined the health status of migrants. The water problems were recorded in the circulation press to highlight the asymmetries of anti-COVID-19 policies on the public and private sectors, as well as political and social actors. The objective of the study was to reveal the network structure of relationships between nodes and edges related to press releases on water issues. A documentary, cross-sectional and retrospective study was carried out with newspapers of national circulation: El País, El Reforma, La Jornada and El Universal, considering the water problems of scarcity, unhealthiness and famine. The results show a structure of nodes where the water problems were initiated by La Jornada and ended by El Reforma. Both findings are relevant considering the ideology of the newspaper. La Jornada, a newspaper identified with the political ideology of the left, initiated the dissemination of water problems in a city administered by a government of the same ideology. El Reforma, a newspaper designated by the executive as a spokesperson for the opposition ideology, culminates the network of notes on water problems. That is to say, regardless of the type of political ideology attributed to the newspapers, the problems of scarcity, unhealthiness and famine are spread. In relation to the state of the art where it is shown that ideology does not influence the establishment of the agenda, the present work corroborates and recommends expanding the study to other entities administered by the opposition such as the cities of Guadalajara and Monterrey

Attitudes towards COVID-19 era

The SARS CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic and the COVID-19 disease impacted the educational system and Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). University institutionalism, understood as academic, professional and labor regulations, can be explained from its attitudinal dimensions. In this way, the provisions against or in favor of anti-COVID-19 policies, consisting of distancing and confinement, anticipate risk scenarios of contagion, illness and death. Attitudes towards anti-COVID-19 institutionalism predict scenarios of stigma, entrepreneurship, innovation, training or performance. The importance of attitudes, as long as they are measured as anti- or pro-confinement and distancing dispositions in the face of pandemic, lies in their explanatory capacity for risk exposure behaviors. Therefore, the diagnosis of attitudes in students selected for professional practices and social services in public health institutions will allow us to appreciate the intentions and decisions of exposure to risks associated with the health crisis. The objective of the present work was to specify a model for the study of attitudes towards the effects of the pandemic on the environment. An exploratory, cross-sectional and correlational work was carried out with 100 students, considering their confinement and intensive use of electronic technologies, devices and networks. A factorial structure was found that explained 35% of the total variance, although the research design limited the results to the study setting, suggesting the extension of the work towards the contrast of the proposed model

Facilidad y utilidad del uso de Internet: implicaciones para la innovación educativa

The use of the Internet, indicated by the degree of perception of usefulness and ease, has been observed as an antecedent of educational innovation. As it is a meaningful teaching-learning sequence, the adoption of technology, devices and networks imply accessibility and diversity of content that the perceptual dimensions determine. Consequently, a confirmatory, psychometric, and correlational study was carried out with a sample of 340 students, considering their participation in social networks and educational platforms. A structure was found that explained 29% of the total variance, suggesting the extension of the study to other scenarios and samples.El uso de Internet, indicado por el grado de percepción de utilidad y facilidad, se ha observado como un antecedente de innovación educativa. Al tratarse de una secuencia significativa de enseñanza-aprendizaje, la adopción de tecnología, dispositivos y redes implica accesibilidad y diversidad de contenidos que determinan las dimensiones perceptivas. En consecuencia, se realizó un estudio confirmatorio, psicométrico y correlacional con una muestra de 340 estudiantes, considerando su participación en redes sociales y plataformas educativas. Se encontró una estructura que explicaba el 29% de la varianza total, sugiriendo la extensión del estudio a otros escenarios y muestras

Low friction coefficient coatings Ni-Cr by magnetron sputtering, DC

Magnetron Sputter Deposition technique with DC was used for the deposition of Ni-Cr coatings on AISI 316 SS like substrate. The cathode with a nominal composition Ni-22 at% Cr was prepared by Mechanical Alloying (MA) technique, with a maximum milling time of 16 hours and, with a high energy SPEX 8000 mill. The coatings were made under Argon atmosphere at room temperature with a power of 100 W at different times of growth. Chemical composition, microstructure, topography, nanohardness and wear of the coatings were evaluated using the techniques of microanalysis by energy dispersive X-ray analyzer (EDAX), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Nano-indentation and pin-on-Disk, respectively. After milling, was not detected contamination in the mixtures. XRD analysis revealed that the microstructure of the Ni-Cr alloy was maintained in the coatings with respect to MA powders, with some degree of recrystallization. Nanohardness values were in the order of 8.8 GPa with a Young’s modulus of 195 GPa. The adhesion of the films was evaluated according to their resistance to fracture when these were indented at different loads using Vickers microhardness. The wear test results showed a decrease in the friction coefficient with respect to the increase of thickness’ films, getting a minimum value of 0.08 with a thickness of 1 µm and which correspond with the maximum growing time.Financial support provided by the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACyT), with the number project 135100 from basics science program, and the support offered by CINVESTAV-QRO, México, specially to the Dr. F.J.

Single dose of diclofenac or meloxicam for control of pain, facial swelling, and trismus in oral surgery

Background: Postoperative pain associated with removal of mandibular third molars has been documented from moderate to severe during the first 24 hours after surgery, with pain peaking between 6 and 8 hours when a conventional local anesthetic is used. Dental pain is largely inflammatory, and evidence-based medicine has shown that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the best analgesics for dental pain. The aim of this study was to compare the analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-trismus effect of a single dose of diclofenac and meloxicam after mandibular third molar extraction. Material and Methods: A total of 36 patients were randomized into two treatment groups, each with 18 patients, using a series of random numbers: Group A, was administered 100 mg of diclofenac; and Group B, 15 mg of meloxicam. Drugs were administered orally 1 hour prior to surgery. We evaluated pain intensity, analgesic consumption, swelling, as well as trismus. Results: The results of this study showed that patients receiving 15 mg of meloxicam had less postoperative pain ( P =0.04) and better aperture than those receiving 100 mg of diclofenac ( P =0.03). The meloxicam group presented less swelling than diclofenac group; however, significant statistical differences were not observed. Conclusions: Data of this double-blind, randomized, parallel-group clinical trial demonstrated that patients receiving 15 mg of preoperative meloxicam had a better postoperative analgesia and anti-trismus effect compared with who were given 100 mg of diclofenac after third molar extractions

Modelo para el estudio de la lucidez organizacional y la responsabilidad social corporativa.

La lucidez organizacional y la responsabilidad social corporativa son dos procesos que explican la propensión de empleados a apoyar a sus empresas y políticos vinculados con ella en una contienda electoral, pero cuando éstos votantes perciben que más bien las autoridades gubernamentales limitan las iniciativas ecológicas de las empresas, entonces sus preferencias, intenciones y sufragios se decantan por opciones alternativas a las del candidato del gobierno en turno. Por consiguiente, el objetivo del presente trabajo ha sido establecer la confiabilidad y la validez de un instrumento que mide las expectativas y las intenciones de voto a favor de candidaturas que respetan el medio ambiente a fin de poder contrastar un modelo para el estudio integral del fenómeno en contextos y muestras diversas. A partir de un modelo estructural ⌠X2 = 432,25 (20gl) p = 0,009; GFI = 0,990; CFI = 0,995; RMSEA = 0,008⌡se observó que los riesgos y beneficios esperados predicen directamente (0,358) e indirectamente a través de las expectativas de consenso y disenso (0,395) a la intención de voto a favor de un candidato de la actual administración, o bien a un candidato alternativo (0,381). Se recomiendan líneas de investigación concernientes a las disposiciones de los electores con respecto a las normas y valores ambientales locales
