Un aporte de la sociología a la temática ambiental: de la mirada sociológica a la mirada socioambiental

Este ensayo invita a la actualización de los conceptos que hoy se abordan desde la Escuela Socioambiental Española para la comprensión sistémica-compleja de las diversas relaciones entre el medio ambiente y la sociedad. Se recrea así un desplazamiento contextual de las principales orientaciones teóricas del campo de desplazamiento propuesto. Por último, se arroja al debate y la crítica académica tres problemas de investigación que la mirada socioambiental debe tener en cuenta para lograr ampliar las miradas estrictamente biologicistas y antropocentristas que han dominado el campo de la gestión ambiental. Los problemas propuestos son pues los socio-psíquicos, los ambiental-societales y el problema social- conservacional, todos ellos producto de los nuevos estilos de vida y concepciones del mundo que ha creado lo contemporáneo. ABSTRACTThis article updates the necessary concepts to understand in a complex and systematic way the relationships between natural environment and society. Besides, some indispensable investigation problems are proposed to extend the perspective that environmental management has usually had.Este ensayo invita a la actualización de los conceptos que hoy se abordan desde la Escuela Socioambiental Española para la comprensión sistémica-compleja de las diversas relaciones entre el medio ambiente y la sociedad.

Renovación urbana: nuevas formas de control sistémico

Dispositivos arquitectónicos, como la renovación urbana, que posicionan a la ciudad en una nueva división interurbana del trabajo y le dan un nuevo sentido (sueño político de las élites que dirigen losr riturales económicos, jurídicos y   religiosos) son también una nueva forma de control sistémico: de dispositivos de vigilancia computacional en los centros de comercio, ocio, trabajo, estudio y movilización de los flujos económicos simbólicos. La renovación urbana produce nuevos agentes sociales estandarizados en el manejo de su información social (vestido, lenguaje, sueños) al igual que desplaza a subempleados, homosexuales, farmacófilos, de sus antiguas zonas de construcción de significado (familias, grupos edificaciones). Las élites monopolizan así los centros y las formas de abastecimiento de sentido y crean una nueva violencia y desplazamiento de grupos humanos dentro de las mismas ciudades.ABSTRACTArchitectal instruments as urban renovation that build cities for work and give a new sense -to economic elits- are too the latest control for market places, entertainment, work, study and other economic flows. Urban renovation gives birth to new standars as dreams, slang, and indumentaries. At the same time makes to disappear sub-employee, homosexuals, junkies from their family ties. This way elits take over metropolies and markets to create new violence and make to fall apart human concentrations inside the cities.Dispositivos arquitectónicos, como la renovación urbana, que posicionan a la ciudad en una nueva división interurbana del trabajo y le dan un nuevo sentido (sueño político de las élites que dirigen losr riturales económicos, jurídicos y   religiosos) son también una nueva forma de control sistémico: de dispositivos de vigilancia computacional en los centros de comercio, ocio, trabajo, estudio y movilización de los flujos económicos simbólicos. La renovación urbana produce nuevos agentes sociales estandarizados en el manejo de su información social (vestido, lenguaje, sueños) al igual que desplaza a subempleados, homosexuales, farmacófilos, de sus antiguas zonas de construcción de significado (familias, grupos edificaciones).

Educación en la complejidad y crisis ambiental global

En este ensayo hablaremos de dos problemas de conocimiento en los que estamos empeñados a enfrentar todos aquellos que consideramos la educación como objeto central primario en la búsqueda de nuevos valores y nuevos sentidos de patria. Estos problemas son, primero, el del sueño político de avanzar hacia una educación completa, intercultural negociada y enmarcada en el reconocimiento y aprehensión de los procesos complejos de la vida y, segundo, el abordaje conceptual de la gravedad de la crisis ecológica tal como se presenta en la actualidad, como destrucción de recursos no renovables y creación de residuos no reciclables, y que debe su aparición a un determinado tipo de cultura... íntimamente unida al sistema vigente de producción y consumo (J. Ballesteros y P. Adán. 1997).ABSTRACTIn this essay we will talk about two knowledge problems that have to make something with all the people who consider education as a primary central object in the search of new values as well as new senses of native country.

Abnormal anal cytology risk in women with known genital squamous intraepithelial lesion

The purpose of this study was to assess the risk of abnormal anal cytology in women with known genital squamous intraepithelial lesion. This study evaluated 200 women with and without genital squamous intraepithelial lesion who were recruited for anal Pap smears. Women who had abnormal results on equally or over atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance were classified as having abnormal anal cytology. A multiple logistic regression analysis (stepwise) was performed to identify the risk for developing abnormal anal cytology. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 20.0 program. The average age was 41.09 (±12.64). Of the total participants, 75.5% did not practice anal sex, 91% did not have HPV-infected partners, 92% did not have any anal pathology, and 68.5% did not have anal bleeding. More than half (57.5%) had genital SIL and a significant number developed abnormal anal cytology: 13% in the total sample and 17.4% in women with genital SIL. A significant association was observed between genital squamous intraepithelial lesion and anal squamous intraepithelial lesion (PR = 2.46; p = 0.03). In the logistic regression model, women having genital intraepithelial lesion were more likely to have abnormal anal Pap smear (aPR = 2.81; p = 0.02). This report shows that women with genital squamous intraepithelial lesion must be more closely screened for anal cancer.20329429

The Prevalence of Urogenital Infections in Pregnant Women Experiencing Preterm and Full-Term Labor

Urogenital infections are extremely prevalent during pregnancy and are an important cause of premature labor. However, the prevalence of urogenital infections during childbirth is not well known. Objective. Identify urogenital infections present at the beginning of labor in both full-term and preterm pregnancies. Study Design. Ninety-four women were admitted to the inpatient maternity clinic of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). In total, 49 women in preterm labor and 45 women in full-term labor were included in the study, and samples of urinary, vaginal, and perianal material were collected for microbiological analysis. Results. The prevalences of general infections in the preterm labor group and the full-term labor group were 49.0% and 53.3% (P = 0.8300), respectively. Urogenital infections in the preterm and full-term labor groups included urinary tract infection in 36.7% and 22.2% of women, vaginal candidiasis in 20.4% and 28.9% of women, bacterial vaginosis in 34.7% and 28.9% of women, and group B streptococcus in 6.1% and 15.6% of women, respectively. Conclusions. Urogenital infections were prevalent in women in preterm labor and full-term labor; however, significant differences between the groups were not observed

Genital ulcers in women: clinical, microbiologic and histopathologic characteristics

Female genital ulcer is a disease that affects a large number of women, and its etiologic diagnosis can be difficult. The disease may increase the risk of acquiring HIV. Genital ulcer may be present in sexually transmitted diseases (STD) - syphilis, chancroid, genital herpes, donovanosis, lymphogranuloma venereum and other non-STD disorders (NSTD) - Behçet's syndrome, pemphigus, Crohn's disease, erosive lichen planus and others. This study evaluated the clinical-histopathologic-microbiologic characteristics of female genital ulcers. A cross-sectional descriptive prospective study was conducted during a six-month period to investigate the first 53 women without a definitive diagnosis, seeking medical care for genital ulcers at a genital infections outpatient facility in a university hospital. A detailed and specific history was taken, followed by a dermatologic and gynecologic examination. In addition to collecting material from the lesions for microbiologic study, a biopsy of the ulcer was performed for histopathologic investigation. The average age of the patients was 32.7 years, 56.6% had junior high school education and higher education. The most frequent etiology was herpetic lesion, followed by auto-immune ulcers. At the time of their first consultation, around 60% of the women were using inadequate medication that was inconsistent with the final diagnosis. Histologic diagnosis was conclusive in only 26.4% of the patients (14/53). Cure was obtained in 99% of the cases after proper therapy. The female genital ulcers studied were equally distributed between sexually transmitted and non-sexually transmitted causes. Herpes was the most frequent type of genital ulcer, affecting women indiscriminately, mostly between the ages of 20 and 40 years. The etiologic diagnosis of herpetic ulcers is difficult to make even when various diagnostic methods are applied. It is imperative that NSTD should be included in the differential diagnoses of female genital ulcers. The histopathologic exam is not a diagnostic tool in the majority of cases and should not be considered the gold standard test, being of little value in cases of NSTD and STD ulcers.25426
