Diagnóstico de salud región del Maule con enfoque de determinantes sociales

79 p.El análisis de los problemas de salud con el denominado enfoque de los determinantes sociales y económicos es un tema central en la agenda de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) y hace algunos años lo es en Chile hasta la actualidad. Esta Revisión se sitúa en el área de las Políticas Públicas en Chile, particularmente en el área de la Salud y en las diferentes relaciones que tienen con el estado de bienestar de la población chilena, explorando nuevos factores que son derivados del ya conocido proceso Salud – Enfermedad. Específicamente, interesa indagar acerca del diagnóstico regional de la Región del Maule, con influencia de los determinantes sociales primarios y secundarios en salud, considerando sus 4 provincias y 30 comunas. Preexisten varios factores que conducen a diferencias en el acceso y uso del sistema de salud, lo que genera desigualdades en la promoción de la salud y la posibilidad de recuperación y supervivencia después de la enfermedad. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la relación entre el diagnostico regional y los determinantes sociales con variables demográficas, étnicas, migratorias, psicosociales, educacionales, socioeconómicas, entre otras, presentes durante el último periodo

Evaluacion in vitro de la capacidad biocontroladora de tres cepas nativas de Trichoderma spp. a tres temperaturas de incubación, sobre Sclerotium rolfsii; Agente causal de pudrición blanca en remolacha

67 p.La actividad antagónica in vitro de tres cepas nativas de Trichoderma spp.; Trailes, Sherwood y Queule, frente a aislamientos de Sclerotium rolfsii obtenidos desde Beta vulgaris, fue estudiada en relación al efecto inhibitorio del fitopatógeno. Se realizó siembras de ambos hongos en una misma placa petri con medio de cultivo Agar Papa Dextrosa (APD) ubicados uno frente al otro; variando tanto la cepa nativa de Trichoderma (Trailes, Sherwood, Queule y mezcla de cepas) como las temperaturas de incubación (4, 20 y 27°C). A las 24 horas de obtenido el punto de encuentro de ambos hongos, se determinó el porcentaje de inhibición que ejercieron las distintas cepas de Trichoderma spp. Una interacción significativa (p≤ 0.01) entre las cepas nativas del biocontrolador y las temperaturas de incubación fue obtenida, cuya inhibición varió entre un 0 y un 78,8%. La menor inhibición se obtuvo con la cepa Sherwood del biocontrolador a una temperatura de 4°C y la mayor con la cepa Queule a 20 °C. Los porcentajes de inhibición fluctuaron entre 45 a 67% para las cepas nativas y entre un 33 y un 72% para las temperaturas de incubación. Los resultados indican que las cepas nativas de Trichoderma spp. son agresivas competidoras de S. rolfsii. También se observó en este ensayo la gran capacidad de colonización miceliar que presenta el agente biocontrolador por sobre el patógeno

Financial crisis: theory and practice

In the last 50 years, we have had approximately 40 events with characteristics related to financial crisis. The most severe crisis was in 1929, when the financial markets plummet and the US gross domestic product decline in more than 30 percent. Recently some years ago, a new crisis developed in the United States, but instantly caused consequences and effects in the rest of the world. This new economic and financial crisis has increased the interest and motivation for the academic community, professors and researchers, to understand the causes and effects of the crisis, to learn from it. This is the one of the main reasons for the compilation of this book, which begins with a meeting of a group of IAFI researchers from the University of Barcelona, where researchers form Mexico and Spain, explain causes and consequences of the crisis of 2007. For that reason, we believed this set of chapters related to methodologies, applications and theories, would conveniently explained the characteristics and events of the past and future financial crisis This book consists in 3 main sections, the first one called "State of the Art and current situation", the second named "Econometric applications to estimate crisis time periods" , and the third one "Solutions to diminish the effects of the crisis". The first section explains the current point of view of many research papers related to financial crisis, it has 2 chapters. In the first one, it describe and analyzes the models that historically have been used to explain financial crisis, furthermore, it proposes to used alternative methodologies such as Fuzzy Cognitive Maps. On the other hand , Chapter 2 , explains the characteristics and details of the 2007 crisis from the US perspective and its comparison to 1929 crisis, presenting some effects in Mexico and Latin America. The second section presents two econometric applications to estimate possible crisis periods. For this matter, Chapter 3, studies 3 Latin-American countries: Argentina, Brazil and Peru in the 1994 crisis and estimates the multifractal characteristics to identify financial and economic distress. Chapter 4 explains the crisis situations in Argentina (2001), Mexico (1994) and the recent one in the United States (2007) and its effects in other countries through a financial series methodology related to the stock market. The last section shows an alternative to prevent the effects of the crisis. The first chapter explains the financial stability effects through the financial system regulation and some globalization standards. Chapter 6, study the benefits of the Investor activism and a way to protect personal and national wealth to face the financial crisis risks

Hyperglycemia in nondiabetic patients during the acute phase of stroke

OBJECTIVE: To determine patterns of hyperglycemic (HG) control in acute stroke. METHODS: Anonymous survey through Internet questionnaire. Participants included Latin-American physicians specialized in neurocritical care. RESULTS: The response rate was 74%. HG definition varied widely. Fifty per cent considered it when values were >140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L). Intravenous (IV) regular insulin was the drug of choice for HG correction. One fifth of the respondents expressed adherence to a protocol. Intensive insulin therapy (IIT) was used by 23%. Glucose levels were measured in all participants at admission. Routine laboratory test was the preferred method for monitoring. Reactive strips were more frequently used when monitoring was intensive. Most practitioners (56.7%) monitored glucose more than two times daily throughout the Intensive Care Unit stay. CONCLUSIONS: There is considerable variability and heterogeneity in the management of elevated blood glucose during acute phase of stroke by the surveyed Latin-American physicians

Lo público. Un espacio en disputa

Rastrear los diferentes sentidos de lo público en la historia de la humanidad, es entrar en un terreno marcado por la polémica. Sus raíces y huellas son posibles de encontrar en la polis griega como en la res pública romana. Su fisonomía moderna está marcada, sin duda, por el pensamiento de Inmanuel Kant, quien de alguna manera delimitará el debate, que continuará en las reflexiones seminales de Jurgen Habermas sobre la esfera pública o en la crítica de Hannah Arendt a la distinción entre lo social y lo político. Trabajos que han dado la pauta a un conjunto amplio de reflexiones y que a su vez han generado una serie de respuestas, derivados, revisiones, comentarios y críticas al concepto de lo público, al punto que el debate ha desbordado los márgenes de la teoría política para desplegarse en variadas disciplinas, desde la sociología, el urbanismo, la geografía, la antropología, los estudios culturales y comunicacionales
