The production of a cause for activism in Argentina:Labour organization in call centers

This paper focuses on activist labor organizing in call centers in Argentina. Following a strong tradition in anthropology that has debated the nature of resistance, it discusses previous explanations for labor organizing in call centers, critiquing the common assumption that labor conditions, work processes, and the relations that take place on the shop floor constitute the seed from which forms of resistance, protest, or activism progressively emerge. Instead, this paper describes the relations, practices, and tensions through which multiple actors came together to turn call center working conditions into a cause for political action in Argentina and the collaborations that made that process possible. Based on fieldwork with call center activists between 2012 and 2013, this paper reconstructs the forms of collective organization that established the problem of poor working conditions in call centers as a cause for political action.Fil: Wolanski, Sandra Ileana.

Nuevas perspectivas de conocimientos transversales para el progreso socioeconómico

&lt;p&gt;En el umbral del siglo XXI, la población está inmersa en una era de transformación sin precedentes, donde las fronteras entre lo físico y lo digital se desvanecen, y las viejas nociones de progreso socioeconómico son desafiadas por la innovación y la disrupción. Este libro emerge en el horizonte de las nuevas perspectivas para el avance socioeconómico, destacando el papel central que desempeñan las criptomonedas, la tecnología, la sostenibilidad, el medio ambiente y las políticas públicas en este panorama.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;En un mundo cada vez más interconectado, las criptomonedas han surgido como un catalizador para la democratización financiera. Este libro no solo explora cómo estas monedas digitales están transformando los cimientos del sistema financiero, sino que también revela cómo pueden servir como herramientas poderosas para empoderar a individuos y comunidades marginadas. La descentralización financiera, propiciada por las criptomonedas, redefine el acceso a servicios financieros y allana el camino hacia una inclusión económica genuina.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;La tecnología, por su parte, se erige como el motor impulsor de esta nueva era. Desde la inteligencia artificial hasta la cadena de bloques, la revolución tecnológica está remodelando industrias enteras y creando oportunidades inexploradas. A través de un análisis profundo, se destaca cómo la adopción inteligente de tecnologías emergentes puede acelerar el crecimiento económico, fomentar la eficiencia y abrir la puerta a soluciones innovadoras para los desafíos sociales más apremiantes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sin embargo, la prosperidad del mañana no puede lograrse a expensas del planeta que llamamos hogar. La sostenibilidad y el respeto por el medio ambiente son piedras angulares de cualquier visión verdaderamente progresista. Este libro aborda la convergencia esencial entre el avance socioeconómico y la preservación ambiental, demostrando que el desarrollo sostenible no solo es deseable, sino también imperativo para garantizar un futuro habitable y equitativo para las generaciones venideras.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finalmente, las políticas públicas emergen como el instrumento clave para encauzar estas fuerzas transformadoras hacia un bien común. Se examina cómo los marcos regulatorios pueden fomentar la innovación, proteger los derechos individuales y garantizar que el progreso sea equitativo y sostenible. La colaboración entre el sector público y privado se presenta como un modelo efectivo para abordar los desafíos complejos de nuestro tiempo.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;La presente obra desafía las concepciones preexistentes y expone una visión de un futuro donde las criptomonedas, la tecnología, la sostenibilidad, el medio ambiente y las políticas públicas convergen para dar forma a una sociedad más justa, próspera y sostenible.&lt;/p&gt

“Gaining or losing”: The importance of the perspective in primary care health services valuation

<div><p>Rationale and objectives</p><p>Economic theory classifies an intervention as socially beneficial if the total Willingness to Pay (WTP) of those who gain exceeds the total Willingness to accept (WTA) of those who are harmed. This paper examines the differences in health system users’ valuation of a health care service in primary care setting based on the WTP and WTA perspectives, discussing the impact of personal and service variables, including risk attitudes, on these disparities.</p><p>Method</p><p>Six hundred and sixty two subjects who asked for care in health centres in the Region of Madrid (Spain) were interviewed, using the contingent valuation method to estimate WTP and WTA. Patient sociodemographic characteristics, health needs, satisfaction with the service and risk attitude and behaviour under risk (measured by self-reported scales and lottery games respectively) were collected. Generalised Linear Models were used to estimate the association between the explanatory variables and the WTA/WTP ratio.</p><p>Results</p><p>We obtained the WTA/WTP ratio for 570 subjects (mean 1.66 CI 95%: 1.53–1.79; median 1, interquartile range 1–2). People with higher education or in high social groups expressed WTA values closest to WTP. The opposite occurred in patients with the greatest health needs or who were born abroad. Self-reported expression of risk aversion appeared also related to increases in the WTA/WTP ratio. Satisfaction with the service evaluated was the most influential factor in the WTA/WTP ratio.</p><p>Conclusion</p><p>Health need, difficulty in obtaining substitutes and satisfaction with the service could serve for profiling people averse to loss for health care services in primary care setting. Self-reported expression of risk aversion could also be related to increases in the WTA/WTP ratio. This would mean that these characteristics should be taken into account both in the design and implementation of new healthcare interventions, as in the making decision for disinvestment.</p></div
