From informality to the institutionalization of Development Education at UC

RESUMEN: La Educación para el Desarrollo (EpD) dentro de la Universidad de Cantabria (UC) ha evolucionado a lo largo de los años, siendo el objetivo último ofrecer una educación transformadora. La experiencia de la UC muestra cómo desde un formato de colaboraciones informales con organizaciones externas a la universidad (Organizaciones no gubernamentales para el desarrollo (ONGD), asociaciones...) se ha llegado a un nuevo formato de colaboraciones formales e institucionalizadas que, aunque mejoradas, aún presentan dificultades y retos, como la coordinación, difundir un concepto más amplio de educación para el desarrollo o llegar a todos los colectivos de la comunidad universitaria, entre otros.ABSTRACT: Development Education at University of Cantabria (UC) has evolved over the years, with the aim to provide a transformative education.

Las mujeres y la justicia transicional : el nexo entre la Agenda de Seguridad y la Agenda de Desarrollo

Este trabajo analiza la relación que existe en los procesos de justicia transicional entre la seguridad y la cooperación internacional para el desarrollo desde una dimensión de género. Utilizando como marco la Agenda “Mujeres, Paz y Seguridad” de Naciones Unidas, se estudian los obstáculos que encuentran las mujeres para acceder y participar en mecanismos de justicia transicional, tanto mecanismos jurisdiccionales como no jurisdiccionales, y así, ejercitar su derecho a la justicia. La participación de las mujeres en este tipo de procesos se ha desarrollado especialmente en las últimas décadas a través del Derecho Penal Internacional pero también existen otros mecanismos como las comisiones de la verdad. La cooperación internacional para el desarrollo tiene una relación directa con estos procesos desde la perspectiva económica, a través de la Ayuda Oficial para el Desarrollo, pero también por el tipo de proyectos que se llevan a cabo con un enfoque de transformación social

¿Es posible una política universitaria en materia de compromiso social? : La experiencia del grupo de compromiso social de la Universidad de Cantabria

Resumen tomado de la publicaciónEl grupo de compromiso social de la universidad de Cantabria quiere proponer una nueva política universitaria, hasta ahora inexistente, en materia de compromiso social. Para ello, este grupo, a través de subgrupos de trabajo mixtos y multidisciplinares (alumnado PAS y PDI), utiliza una metodología de trabajo participativa de abajo hacia arriba. Los resultados iniciales de este proceso muestran el papel clave que tiene el PAS y un claro desconocimiento interno de las políticas universitarias propias. Así mismo, aún sin estrategia desarrollada, algunos miembros del grupo han comenzado a desplegar iniciativas de compromiso desde sus áreas.Madrid (Comunidad Autónoma).

Is it possible a university policy about social commitment? Experience at the University of Cantabria with the social commitment group

El grupo de compromiso social de la Universidad de Cantabria quiere proponer una nueva política universitaria, hasta ahora inexistente, en materia de compromiso social. Para ello, este grupo, a través de subgrupos de trabajo mixtos y multidisciplinares (alumnado, PAS y PDI), utiliza una metodología de trabajo participativa de abajo hacia arriba. Los resultados iniciales de este proceso muestran el papel clave que tiene el PAS en el proceso y un claro desconocimiento interno de las políticas universitarias propias. Asimismo, aún sin estrategia desarrollada, algunos miembros del grupo han comenzado a desplegar iniciativas de compromiso desde sus áreas.Social Commitment Group of the University of Cantabria wants to propose a new university policy hitherto nonexistent in social commitment. For this, the Group, through mixed and multidisciplinary subgroups (students, PAS and PDI), uses a participatory and bottom-up methodology. The initial results of this process are the key role of the PAS in the process and a clear disregard for our own internal university policies. Although the strategy is not developed yet, some members have begun deploying engagement initiatives from their areas

Effects of pre-operative isolation on postoperative pulmonary complications after elective surgery: an international prospective cohort study an international prospective cohort study

We aimed to determine the impact of pre-operative isolation on postoperative pulmonary complications after elective surgery during the global SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. We performed an international prospective cohort study including patients undergoing elective surgery in October 2020. Isolation was defined as the period before surgery during which patients did not leave their house or receive visitors from outside their household. The primary outcome was postoperative pulmonary complications, adjusted in multivariable models for measured confounders. Pre-defined sub-group analyses were performed for the primary outcome. A total of 96,454 patients from 114 countries were included and overall, 26,948 (27.9%) patients isolated before surgery. Postoperative pulmonary complications were recorded in 1947 (2.0%) patients of which 227 (11.7%) were associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients who isolated pre-operatively were older, had more respiratory comorbidities and were more commonly from areas of high SARS-CoV-2 incidence and high-income countries. Although the overall rates of postoperative pulmonary complications were similar in those that isolated and those that did not (2.1% vs 2.0%, respectively), isolation was associated with higher rates of postoperative pulmonary complications after adjustment (adjusted OR 1.20, 95%CI 1.05–1.36, p = 0.005). Sensitivity analyses revealed no further differences when patients were categorised by: pre-operative testing; use of COVID-19-free pathways; or community SARS-CoV-2 prevalence. The rate of postoperative pulmonary complications increased with periods of isolation longer than 3 days, with an OR (95%CI) at 4–7 days or ≥ 8 days of 1.25 (1.04–1.48), p = 0.015 and 1.31 (1.11–1.55), p = 0.001, respectively. Isolation before elective surgery might be associated with a small but clinically important increased risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. Longer periods of isolation showed no reduction in the risk of postoperative pulmonary complications. These findings have significant implications for global provision of elective surgical care.

Evaluation of a quality improvement intervention to reduce anastomotic leak following right colectomy (EAGLE): pragmatic, batched stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized trial in 64 countries

Background Anastomotic leak affects 8 per cent of patients after right colectomy with a 10-fold increased risk of postoperative death. The EAGLE study aimed to develop and test whether an international, standardized quality improvement intervention could reduce anastomotic leaks. Methods The internationally intended protocol, iteratively co-developed by a multistage Delphi process, comprised an online educational module introducing risk stratification, an intraoperative checklist, and harmonized surgical techniques. Clusters (hospital teams) were randomized to one of three arms with varied sequences of intervention/data collection by a derived stepped-wedge batch design (at least 18 hospital teams per batch). Patients were blinded to the study allocation. Low- and middle-income country enrolment was encouraged. The primary outcome (assessed by intention to treat) was anastomotic leak rate, and subgroup analyses by module completion (at least 80 per cent of surgeons, high engagement; less than 50 per cent, low engagement) were preplanned. Results A total 355 hospital teams registered, with 332 from 64 countries (39.2 per cent low and middle income) included in the final analysis. The online modules were completed by half of the surgeons (2143 of 4411). The primary analysis included 3039 of the 3268 patients recruited (206 patients had no anastomosis and 23 were lost to follow-up), with anastomotic leaks arising before and after the intervention in 10.1 and 9.6 per cent respectively (adjusted OR 0.87, 95 per cent c.i. 0.59 to 1.30; P = 0.498). The proportion of surgeons completing the educational modules was an influence: the leak rate decreased from 12.2 per cent (61 of 500) before intervention to 5.1 per cent (24 of 473) after intervention in high-engagement centres (adjusted OR 0.36, 0.20 to 0.64; P < 0.001), but this was not observed in low-engagement hospitals (8.3 per cent (59 of 714) and 13.8 per cent (61 of 443) respectively; adjusted OR 2.09, 1.31 to 3.31). Conclusion Completion of globally available digital training by engaged teams can alter anastomotic leak rates. Registration number: NCT04270721 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov)
