Custos de licença médica em uma empresa de serviços da Colômbia: análise de casos por sexo e ocupação

Introdução: A licença médica é um fenômeno que afeta a produtividade, os custos e o ambiente de trabalho. Objetivos: O objetivo deste estudo é compreender os padrões de licença médica por sexo, idade, ocupação e sua relação com os custos de uma empresa de serviços. Métodos: Realizamos um estudo transversal com base nos dados de licença médica de 889 funcionários de uma empresa de serviços. Registraram-se 156 notificações de licença médica. Realizamos um teste t por sexo e um teste não paramétrico para testar as diferenças médias relacionadas aos custos. Resultados: Verificamos que as mulheres registraram mais dias de licença médica (68,59%) do que os homens. A licença médica foi mais comum na faixa etária de 35-50 anos, tanto para homens quanto para mulheres. O número médio de faltas foi de 6 dias e os custos médios foram de 313 dólares americanos. As doenças crônicas foram a principal causa de licença médica (66,02%). Não houve diferença da média de dias de licença médica entre homens e mulheres. Conclusões: Não houve diferença estatística de dias de licença médica entre homens e mulheres. Os custos de licença médica relacionados a doenças crônicas são mais altos do que os de outras causas, portanto constitui boa prática tentar desenvolver programas de promoção da saúde no ambiente de trabalho, para prevenir doenças crônicas na população economicamente ativa e reduzir seus custos associados.Q4Empleados ausentes por enfermedadIntroduction: Sickness absence is a phenomenon that has an impact on productivity, costs, and the working environment. Objectives: To understand the patterns of sickness absence by gender, age, and occupation, as well as its association with cost in a service company. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study based on the sick leave data for 889 employees in one service company. The total number of sick leave notifications registered was 156. We performed a t-test for gender and a non-parametric test for the mean differences related to cost. Results: We found that women registered more sick days than men, accounting for 68.59% of all sick days recorded. Absence due to sickness was more common in the age range of 35-50 years for both men and women. The mean number of days lost was 6, and the average cost was 313 U.S. dollars. Chronic disease was the main cause of sick leave, representing 66.02% of all absent days. There were no differences in the mean number of days of sick leave between men and women. Conclusions: There is no statistical difference in the number of days of sick leave between men and women. The costs of absence related to chronic disease are higher than those for other causes, so it is good practice to try developing health promotion programs in the workplace to prevent chronic disease in the working age population and reduce its associated costs.https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8126-7748Revista Internacional - IndexadaN

The Diels-Adler cycloaddition reaction of substituted hemifullerenes with 1-3 butadiene: Effect of electron-donating and electron- withdrawing substituents

Producción CientíficaThe Diels-Alder (DA) reaction provides an attractive route to increase the number of six member rings in substituted Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). The density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP method has been used in this work to inquire if the substitution of H over the edge of triindenetriphenylene (pristine hemifullerene 1) and pentacyclopentacorannulene (pristine hemifullerene 2), could improve the DA cycloaddition reaction with 1,3-butadiene. The substituents tested include electron-donating (NH2, OMe, OH, Me, i-Pr) and electron-withdrawing groups(F, COOH, CF3, CHO, CN, NO2). The electronic, kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of the DA reactions of the substituted hemifullerenes with 1,3-butadiene have been analyzed. The most promising results were obtained for the NO2 substituent; the activation energy barriers for reactions using this substituent were lower than the barriers for the pristineJunta de Castilla y León (programa de apoyo a proyectos de investigación – Ref.

Diálogos sobre la perspectiva sociopolítica de la educación matemática: base para diálogos futuros

Pretendemos dar a conocer algunos de los productos de los diálogos en los que hemos sido partícipes y que permiten, de cierta manera, caracterizar algunos de los elementos relevantes en esta perspectiva, tales como: Cultura, política, sujeto, poder, entre otras. Quienes intentamos transcribir estas ideas somos cuatro investigadores en educación matemática: dos estudiantes de maestría (Dolly y Martha) quienes abordan un trabajo de investigación asesorado por dos estudiantes de doctorado (Francisco y Aldo) quienes le apostamos al enfoque socio político de la educación matemática. Esperando que sea otra puesta en común que nos permita dialogar en torno a lo que conocemos como Educación Matemática Crítica. Así, nuestras conclusiones no puede ser otras que algunas preguntas en las que aún esperamos continuar viajando

Eros, Thánatos y Psique: una complicidad triádica

Se parte de personajes mitológicos para analizar la relación triádica entre erotismo/ creación, sufrimiento/pulsión de muerte y psicoanálisis, disertación que hacen los autores desde sus diversas prácticas docentes y de investigación. Para ello se retoma la idea de que la creatividad no es coto de poder de algún campo disciplinar específico, que se puede abordar como proceso epistémico, comunicativo, artístico, sensoperceptual, inconsciente. Entrar al mundo de la creación es entrar al mundo de las posibilidades, para imaginar y recrear universos excluidos.Se parte de personajes mitológicos para analizar la relación triádica entre erotismo/ creación, sufrimiento/pulsión de muerte y psicoanálisis, disertación que hacen los autores desde sus diversas prácticas docentes y de investigación.

Carga de la Enfermedad Atribuible al Síndrome de Túnel del Carpo en la Población Trabajadora Colombiana: Una Aproximación a los Costos Indirectos de una Enfermedad

AbstractObjectiveKnowing the burden of disease related to carpal tunnel syndrome in the Colombian working population and the importance of assessing the indirect costs against the total costs of the disease.MethodsWe reviewed the literature on the prevalence and incidence of carpal tunnel syndrome in the Colombian population, disability days caused by this disease and methods for the assessment of indirect costs, such as the human capital approach and the friction costs. From the databases provided by the Ministry of Social Protection of Colombia and two from General System insurers Colombian Social Security, assessing the importance of the consideration of indirect costs in relation to the total costs of the disease.ResultsWe developed a regression model that shows the relationship between costs (total) of disease and disability days. Indirect costs represented by disability days have a higher correlation with the total cost with the time of treatment of disease.ConclusionsCarpal tunnel syndrome is a common condition in the working population; which may affect the frequency of increased absenteeism. Consequently, this could lead to increased overhead costs and therefore total costs associated with a disease

A reverse vaccinology approach identifies putative vaccination targets in the zoonotic nematode Ascaris

Ascariasis is the most prevalent helminthic disease affecting both humans and pigs and is caused by the roundworms Ascaris lumbricoides and Ascaris suum. While preventive chemotherapy continues to be the most common control method, recent reports of anthelminthic resistance highlight the need for development of a vaccine against ascariasis. The aim of this study was to use a reverse vaccinology approach to identify potential vaccine candidates for Ascaris. Three Ascaris proteomes predicted from whole-genome sequences were analyzed. Candidate proteins were identified using open-access bioinformatic tools (e.g., Vacceed, VaxiJen, Bepipred 2.0) which test for different characteristics such as sub-cellular location, T-cell and B-cell molecular binding, antigenicity, allergenicity and phylogenetic relationship with other nematode proteins. From over 100,000 protein sequences analyzed, four transmembrane proteins were predicted to be non-allergen antigens and potential vaccine candidates. The four proteins are a Piezo protein, two voltage-dependent calcium channels and a protocadherin-like protein, are all expressed in either the muscle or ovaries of both Ascaris species, and all contained high affinity epitopes for T-cells and B-cells. The use of a reverse vaccinology approach allowed the prediction of four new potential vaccination targets against ascariasis in humans and pigs. These targets can now be further tested in in vitro and in vivo assays to prove efficacy in both pigs and humans

Do long delay conditioned stimuli develop inhibitory properties?

In long-delay conditioning, a long conditioned stimulus (CS) is paired in its final segments with an unconditioned stimulus. With sufficient training, this procedure usually results in conditioned responding being delayed until the final segment of the CS, a pattern of responding known as inhibition of delay. However, there have been no systematic investigations of the associative structure of long delay conditioning, and whether the initial segment of a long delay CS actually becomes inhibitory is debatable. In an appetitive preparation with rat subjects, the initial segment of long delay CS A passed a retardation (Experiment 1a) but not a summation (Experiment 1b) test for conditioned inhibition. Furthermore, retardation was observed only if long delay conditioning and retardation training occurred in the same context (Experiment 2). Thus, the initial segment of a long delay CS appears to share more characteristics with a latent inhibitor than a conditioned inhibitor. Componential theories of conditioning appear best suited to account for these results
