Usos del suelo y configuración del espacio rural del ejido municipal de Gaiman

Tesis para obtener el grado de licenciatura en geografía, presentada en el Departamento de Geografía y Turismo, Universidad Nacional del Sur en 2014El espacio rural no es un mero soporte del desarrollo de prácticas agropecuarias, tiene condiciones que lo convierten en un potencial, de acuerdo a un conjunto de usos y usuarios que transforman este espacio, desencadenando fenómenos y procesos socio – territoriales que le otorgan identidad. Elementos históricos y socio – culturales, vinculados con un medio físico particular, estimulan el hecho de que sean espacios complejos e interesantes de analizar. En este caso, se analiza el espacio correspondiente al ejido municipal de Gaiman, en tal sentido se selecciona dicha localidad, por tratarse de un territorio con una identidad histórica y cultural enraizada en el tiempo, fuertemente vinculada a actividades agropecuarias.EEA EsquelFil: Luque, Natalia Romina.

Innovación : la difusión del uso de alimentos concentrados en establecimientos ovinos del noroeste de Chubut

La utilización de alimentos concentrados para suplementación y engorde en explotaciones ovinas extensivas es una práctica innovadora que tuvo una acelerada difusión entre los productores ovinos del Noroeste de la Provincia de Chubut en los últimos años, a pesar de tratarse de un sector productivo considerado muchas veces como “conservador“ en cuanto a la incorporación de nuevas tecnologías. Este hecho nos generó dos grandes interrogantes: ¿qué causas llevaron en un lapso relativamente corto de tiempo, a que los productores de distinta escala vean en esta tecnología una alternativa útil? y ¿qué es posible aprender de este proceso para su aplicación futura en la difusión de otras tecnologías?Fil: Luque, Natalia Romina.

Grouped is the only way. The solidarity and autonomous experience of the chacay mamil cooperative

Son escasos los antecedentes de estudios sobre cooperativismo agrario en Patagonia, y más aún en la región sur. Es por ello que el presente trabajo se propone analizar la conformación y trayectoria de la cooperativa “Chacay Mamil” –ubicada en el departamento Tehuelches en la provincia de Chubut, Argentina–, como una estrategia de acción colectiva de un grupo de pequeños ganaderos. La cooperativa inició sus actividades en el año 2007 y en la actualidad participan activamente 35 asociados. La metodología utilizada en el análisis y desarrollo de este trabajo es de carácter cualitativo, y el instrumento para la recolección de datos fue la entrevista en profundidad, realizada a diferentes socios, a quienes ocuparon y ocupan cargos directivos y a técnicos que fueron parte de la gestión inicial. Asimismo, se analizaron fuentes documentales –libro de actas, memorias e informes de proyectos–. Del análisis de la trayectoria de la Cooperativa se desprende la importancia de los saberes previos y la experiencia acumulada de sus asociados a lo largo del proceso, como así también el grado de independencia y autogestión alcanzada. También queda en evidencia que la puesta en práctica de los valores cooperativos les permitió dar respuesta a necesidades históricas. El trabajo posibilita además, reflexionar acerca del rol de las políticas públicas en el apoyo a iniciativas socio-organizativas en el ámbito rural.There are few studies on the history of agricultural cooperatives in Patagonia, and even more in the southern region. That is why the present work aims to analyze the conformation and trajectory of the cooperative “Chacay Mamil” –located in the department of Tehuelches in the province of Chubut, Argentina–, as a strategy of collective action of a group of small farmers. The cooperative began its activities in 2007 and currently 35 associates actively participate. The methodology used in the analysis and development of this work is of a qualitative nature, and the instrument for data collection was the in-depth interview, carried out with different partners, those who held and hold management positions and technicians who were part of the management initial. Likewise, documentary sources - minute book, memoirs and project reports - were analyzed. From the analysis of the trajectory of the Cooperative, the importance of previous knowledge and the accumulated experience of its associates throughout the process, as well as the degree of independence and self-management achieved, can be seen. It is also clear that the implementation of cooperative values allowed them to respond to historical needs. The work also makes it possible to reflect on the role of public policies in supporting socio-organizational initiatives in rural areasEEA EsquelFil: Luque, Natalia Romina.

VIII Encuentro de Docentes e Investigadores en Historia del Diseño, la Arquitectura y la Ciudad

Acta de congresoLa conmemoración de los cien años de la Reforma Universitaria de 1918 se presentó como una ocasión propicia para debatir el rol de la historia, la teoría y la crítica en la formación y en la práctica profesional de diseñadores, arquitectos y urbanistas. En ese marco el VIII Encuentro de Docentes e Investigadores en Historia del Diseño, la Arquitectura y la Ciudad constituyó un espacio de intercambio y reflexión cuya realización ha sido posible gracias a la colaboración entre Facultades de Arquitectura, Urbanismo y Diseño de la Universidad Nacional y la Facultad de Arquitectura de la Universidad Católica de Córdoba, contando además con la activa participación de mayoría de las Facultades, Centros e Institutos de Historia de la Arquitectura del país y la región. Orientado en su convocatoria tanto a docentes como a estudiantes de Arquitectura y Diseño Industrial de todos los niveles de la FAUD-UNC promovió el debate de ideas a partir de experiencias concretas en instancias tales como mesas temáticas de carácter interdisciplinario, que adoptaron la modalidad de presentación de ponencias, entre otras actividades. En el ámbito de VIII Encuentro, desarrollado en la sede Ciudad Universitaria de Córdoba, se desplegaron numerosas posiciones sobre la enseñanza, la investigación y la formación en historia, teoría y crítica del diseño, la arquitectura y la ciudad; sumándose el aporte realizado a través de sus respectivas conferencias de Ana Clarisa Agüero, Bibiana Cicutti, Fernando Aliata y Alberto Petrina. El conjunto de ponencias que se publican en este Repositorio de la UNC son el resultado de dos intensas jornadas de exposiciones, cuyos contenidos han posibilitado actualizar viejos dilemas y promover nuevos debates. El evento recibió el apoyo de las autoridades de la FAUD-UNC, en especial de la Secretaría de Investigación y de la Biblioteca de nuestra casa, como así también de la Facultad de Arquitectura de la UCC; va para todos ellos un especial agradecimiento

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat
