    The purpose of this article is to evaluate the impact generated by the resources provided to university professors compared to labor demands, that is, to what extent their level of commitment reaches, given what they receive from the institution as an incentive for their work. In the field of higher education, programs were established that have been applied in state and federal public universities since the last decade: programs to stimulate the performance of teaching staff (ESDEPED), the Teacher Improvement Program (PRODEP) through the Directorate of Academic Improvement and the National System of Researchers (SNI), which have had a great impact on the conformation of the identity of career academic personnel and, of course, on their academic performance. To carry out this study, we worked in collaboration with CIRCULAR HR Fundación Chile and UNESCO WHEC (World Higher Education Conference 2022), 1994 surveys were applied to teachers of all categories of the Technological System. This instrument was applied to different universities called by UNESCO, in total there were 3351 surveys and the Technological System provided 59.5% of the information for this study. As part of the results obtained, it was found that the teachers of the Technological System recognize that the incentives they receive are above what other universities offer, for this reason they develop a higher level of belonging and commitment to the Institution.RESUMEN El presente artículo tiene como finalidad evaluar el impacto que generan los recursos provistos a docentes universitarios comparadas con las demandas laborales, es decir, hasta donde llega su nivel de compromiso dado lo que recibe por parte de la institución como incentivo a su trabajo. En el ámbito de la educación superior se establecieron programas que se han venido aplicando en las universidades públicas estatales y federales desde la década pasada: los programas de estímulo al desempeño del personal docente (ESDEPED), el Programa de Mejora del Profesorado (PRODEP) a través de la Dirección de Superación Académica y el Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI) que han tenido gran impacto en la conformación de la identidad del personal académico de carrera y desde luego en su desempeño académico. Para llevar a cabo este estudio se trabajó en colaboración con CIRCULAR HR Fundación Chile Y UNESCO  WHEC (World Higher Education Conference 2022), se aplicaron 1994 encuestas a docentes  de todas las categorías del Sistema Tecnológico. Este instrumento fue aplicado a diferentes universidades convocadas por la UNESCO, en total fueron 3351 encuestas y el Sistema Tecnológico aportó el 59.5% de la información para este estudio. Como parte de los resultados obtenidos se encontró que los docentes del Sistema Tecnológico reconocen que los incentivos que reciben están por encima de lo que ofrecen otras universidades, es por eso que desarrollan un nivel más alto de pertenencia y compromiso con la Institución

    La presente compilación de textos, que aborda temáticas diversas sobre cultura y sociedad, es corolario de un esfuerzo compartido de profesores investigadores y alumnos de licenciatura y posgrado con el fin de dar a conocer resultados de las investigaciones que se están realizando en el organismo académico, incluyendo, por supuesto, otros trabajos llevados a cabo por colegas de instituciones y disciplinas afines; de esta manera se fortalecen los cuerpos académicos y se promueven las líneas de generación y aplicación del conocimiento de éstos, evidenciando algunos campos de conocimiento de la antropología.Como es manifiesto, la obra en su conjunto aborda distintos temas desde diversas perspectivas epistemológicas y teórico-conceptuales. Constituye un trabajo plural que articula la perspectiva antropológica, con otras lentes disciplinares. Cuerpo, agricultura, desigualdad y bienestar se entrelazan como ejes en principio divergentes, que hallan en lo sociocultural un elemento común de análisis. Así, los textos aquí englobados tienen la expectativa de aportar en la discusión contemporánea de viejos y nuevos derroteros de interés antropológico, y social en general

    Dissimilar Impact of a Mediterranean Diet and Physical Activity on Anthropometric Indices: A Cross-Sectional Study from the ILERVAS Project

    There is a close relationship between lifestyle behaviors and excess adiposity. Although body mass index (BMI) is the most used approach to estimate excess weight, other anthropometric indices have been developed to measure total body and abdominal adiposity. However, little is known about the impact of physical activity and adherence to a Mediterranean diet on these indices. Here we report the results of a cross-sectional study with 6672 middle-aged subjects with low to moderate cardiovascular risk from the Ilerda Vascular (ILERVAS) project. The participants' adherence to physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire short form) and MedDiet (Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener) was evaluated. Measures of total adiposity (BMI, Clínica Universidad de Navarra-Body Adiposity Estimator (CUN-BAE), and Deurenberg's formula), central adiposity (waist and neck circumferences, conicity index, waist to height ratio, Bonora's equation, A body adiposity index, and body roundness index), and lean body mass (Hume formula) were assessed. Irrespective of sex, lower indices of physical activity were associated with higher values of total body fat and central adiposity. This result was constant regardless of the indices used to estimate adiposity. However, the association between MedDiet and obesity indices was much less marked and more dependent on sex than that observed for physical activity. Lean body mass was influenced by neither physical activity nor MedDiet adherence. No joint effect between physical activity and MedDiet to lower estimated total or central adiposity indices was shown. In conclusion, physical activity is related to lower obesity indices in a large cohort of middle-aged subjects. MedDiet showed a slight impact on estimated anthropometric indices, with no joint effect when considering both lifestyle variables

    High prevalence of strongyloidiasis in spain : A hospital-based study

    Get PDF
    Strongyloidiasis is a prevailing helminth infection ubiquitous in tropical and subtropical areas, however, seroprevalence data are scarce in migrant populations, particularly for those coming for Asia. This study aims at evaluating the prevalence of S. stercoralis at the hospital level in migrant populations or long term travellers being attended in out-patient and in-patient units as part of a systematic screening implemented in six Spanish hospitals. A cross-sectional study was conducted and systematic screening for S. stercoralis infection using serological tests was offered to all eligible participants. The overall seroprevalence of S. stercoralis was 9.04% (95%CI 7.76-10.31). The seroprevalence of people with a risk of infection acquired in Africa and Latin America was 9.35% (95%CI 7.01-11.69), 9.22% (7.5-10.93), respectively. The number of individuals coming from Asian countries was significantly smaller and the overall prevalence in these countries was 2.9% (95%CI −0.3-6.2). The seroprevalence in units attending potentially immunosuppressed patients was significantly lower (5.64%) compared with other units of the hospital (10.20%) or Tropical diseases units (13.33%) (p < 0.001). We report a hospital-based strongyloidiasis seroprevalence of almost 10% in a mobile population coming from endemic areas suggesting the need of implementing strongyloidiasis screening in hospitalized patients coming from endemic areas, particularly if they are at risk of immunosuppression

    Memoria del Informe Cintífico-Técnico de la campaña oceanográfica SUBVENT-1.Anexos de operatividad y de las distintas técnicas utilizados a lo largo de la misma.La campaña SUBVENT1-0913 se ha realizado a lo largo del talud inferior del margen continental de las Islas Canarias, área que también es conocida en la literatura como Cuenca Canaria. Esta zona se caracteriza por la presencia de una serie de estructuras geológicas recientes, así se encuentran la parte distal de los depósitos de debris procedentes de las avalanchas volcánicas generadas desde las Islas Canarias, a favor de la pendiente y probablemente en relación con episodios eruptivos. En la parte meridional se encuentra además un conjunto de montes submarinos, de diversa entidad, de origen volcánico y, en general, aparece todo un conjunto de montículos con desniveles comprendidos entre 30 y 300 m que han constituido el principal objetivo de esta campaña. Así mismo, en este sector existen numerosos escarpes lineales de orientación subparalela a la del propio talud a los que se encuentran asociados en ocasiones los citados montículos. La adquisición de nuevos datos geofísicos y el muestreo llevado a cabo durante la campaña permitirá conocer mejor el origen de estos montículos y el proceso de emisión que los ha generado. Por otro lado, el conocimiento de las relaciones entre los sedimentos de debris y hemipelágicos junto con los asociados a las posibles emisiones de la zona permitirá conocer no sólo la evolución sedimentaria de este margen, sino establecer los episodios de emisión que generaron los montículos y conocer sus patrones de crecimiento. Así mismo, se podrá evaluar la tasa de sedimentación de la zona y el papel de la masa de agua de fondo antártica (AABW) en esta evolución.The SUBVENT1-0913 cruise has been carried out along the lower slope of the continental margin of the Canary Islands. This area is characterized by the presence of several recent geological structures. Among these are the distal parts of the volcano-clastics debris deposits originated by volcanic avalanches of the Canary Islands, transported by gravity along the slope and probably related in origin to eruptive episodes. In the southern part, numerous and different reliefs (seamounts, hills or mounds) of volcanic origin occur. The most frequents features display heights between 30 and 300 m and they have constituted one of the main aims of this survey. Moreover, in this sector there are several subparallel linear scarps with similar directions to the slope trend that could be associated with the aforementioned mounds. The acquisition of new geophysical data and samples during this campaign will allow a better understanding of the origin of these mounds and the emission processes that have generated them. On the other hand, the knowledge of the relationships between debris and hemipelagic sediments together with those associated with possible venting processes in the area, will reveal not only the sedimentary evolution of this margin, but also to establish emission episodes generating mounds and to know their growth patterns. Furthermore, it would be possible to evaluate the sedimentation rate in the area and the role played by the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW) mass on this process.Plan Nacional de I+D, Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad.

    To assess severity markers and outcomes of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) with or without pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH-SSc/non-PAH-SSc), and the impact of interstitial lung disease (ILD) on PAH-SSc. Non-PAH-SSc patients from the Spanish SSc registry and PAH-SSc patients from the Spanish PAH registry were included. A total of 364 PAH-SSc and 1589 non-PAH-SSc patients were included. PAH-SSc patients had worse NYHA-functional class (NYHA-FC), worse forced vital capacity (FVC) (81.2 +/- 20.6% vs 93.6 +/- 20.6%, P < 0.001), worse tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) (17.4 +/- 5.2 mm vs 19.9 +/- 6.7 mm, P < 0.001), higher incidence of pericardial effusion (30% vs 5.2%, P < 0.001) and similar prevalence of ILD (41.8% vs. 44.9%). In individuals with PAH-SSc, ILD was associated with worse hemodynamics and pulmonary function tests (PFT). Up-front combination therapy was used in 59.8% and 61.7% of patients with and without ILD, respectively. Five-year transplant-free survival rate was 41.1% in PAH-SSc patients and 93.9% in non-PAH-SSc patients (P < 0.001). Global survival of PAH-SSc patients was not affected by ILD regardless its severity. The multivariate survival analysis in PAH-SSc patients confirmed age at diagnosis, worse NYHA-FC, increased PVR, reduced DLCO, and lower management with up-front combination therapy as major risk factors. In conclusion, in PAH-SSc cohort risk of death was greatly increased by clinical, PFT, and hemodynamic factors, whereas it was decreased by up-front combination therapy. Concomitant ILD worsened hemodynamics and PFT in PAH-SSc but not survival regardless of FVC impairment
