Percepciones y valoraciones sociales del paisaje en destinos turísticos. Análisis de la ciudad de Sevilla a través de técnicas de investigación cualitativas

The departure point for the work described in this article is the European Landscape Convention (Florence, 2000) and the prominence it grants to social perception in its own definition. On the understanding that in the case of tourism spaces the perceiving population comprises both residents and visitors, information is obtained about how the urban landscape is perceived at spaces most visited by tourists in the city of Seville, what the main identified conflicts are and the aspirations projected in both groups, through application of a qualitative analysis methodology. Based on that information several conclusions are drawn, which may prove useful in management of the urban landscape in tourism spaces.El trabajo desarrollado en este artículo tiene como punto de partida el Convenio Europeo de Paisaje (Florencia, 2000) y el protagonismo que en él se otorga a la percepción social en su propia definición. Entendiendo que la población que percibe se compone, en el caso de los espacios turísticos, tanto de residentes como de visitantes, se plantea obtener información sobre cómo se percibe el paisaje urbano en los espacios de mayor frecuentación turística de la ciudad de Sevilla, cuáles son los principales conflictos identificados y las aspiraciones proyectadas en ambos grupos mediante la aplicación de una metodología de análisis cualitativo. A partir de dicha información se apuntan algunas conclusiones que pueden ser de utilidad en la gestión del paisaje urbano en espacios turísticos

An Evidence Based Educational Module on the use of Disposable Laryngeal Electrodes for Intraoperative Neuromonitoring: A Quality Improvement Project

Background: Injury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) is a significant concern in endocrine surgery, accounting for a substantial proportion of negligence litigation and malpractice lawsuits. Failure to identify and monitor the RLN during surgery can lead to transient or permanent vocal cord immobility. Therefore, the use of adjunct monitors for intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) is essential to aid in nerve identification and functional assessment. Despite efforts to prevent RLN injury through visual identification, transient and permanent RLN palsy still occur at notable rates. Various devices have been developed to help safely and efficiently preserve and identify the RLN. Continuous IONM (cIONM) offers major advantages. It enables better visualization and identification of the RLN, particularly in high-risk cases and it provides estimates of RLN functional potentials through electric stimulation, which is important as structural integrity does not guarantee functional viability or proper nerve signaling. However, cIONM is limited by frequent false positives, reducing its utility. One common reason for false positives is suboptimal positioning of endotracheal tube electrodes, particularly with devices that are susceptible to movement-related issues. The neural integrity monitoring (NIM) tube, for example, has specific limitations due to its engineering, including precise placement requirements, limited size options, and potential airway complications. On the other hand, disposable adhesive laryngeal electrodes offer a full 360-degree sensor coverage and can be applied to various endotracheal tube sizes, including half-sizes and pediatric tubes. Research supports the use of disposable laryngeal electrodes as efficient, cost-effective, minimally invasive, and user-friendly devices for RLN monitoring. In conclusion, this new technology can help prevent nerve injury by monitoring RLN function, while reducing cost, and improving ease of use. Methodology: A quality improvement project was conducted on the use of Disposable Laryngeal Electrodes for Intraoperative Neuromonitoring. A pre and post questioner was utilized to assess attitude and knowledge towards the use of disposable laryngeal electrodes. Total N= 8 from a large community based hospital in South Florida. Results: Attitudes towards the use of disposable laryngeal electrodes increased after the educational module: six participants (75.00%) were most likely, two participants (20.00%) was positive, and two participants (40.00%) were neutral. There were no negative or very negative attitudes expressed with the use of laryngeal electrodes after the educational module Discussion: There was a statistical difference between the pre- and post-tests, according to the results. The disposable laryngeal knowledge pre-test had an average of 38.00% accurate answers, while the post-test had an average of 88.00% correct answers. Pre-test, 37.00% of providers used laryngeal electrodes, while 62.50% of providers were willing to employ laryngeal electrodes in the post-test. As a result, all respondents showed a considerable improvement in their understanding of laryngeal electrodes and their application, with \u3e50.00% percent change. Overall, there was a 120.00% percent shift in the preference for using laryngeal electrodes in anesthetic practice. All respondents\u27 sentiments about the use of laryngeal electrodes for PONV prevention improved significantly, with a 62.50% percent shift.

La percepción social del paisaje urbano como indicador de sostenibilidad turística. El caso de Sevilla

La comunicación plantea la relación entre paisaje urbano y turismo en un momento de auge del turismo en las ciudades. Los efectos no deseados de una mayor frecuentación turística en cascos históricos y otros sectores urbanos apuntan a un deterioro y banalización del paisaje que podría afectar no sólo a la competitividad del destino sino a su calidad como espacio residencial, productivo y ciudadano. Se plantea un doble objetivo: aplicar una metodología de investigación cualitativa para conocer las percepciones y valoraciones de residentes y visitantes sobre el paisaje urbano, y evaluar si la información obtenida puede incorporarse a un sistema de indicadores locales de sostenibilidad turística. Los resultados aportan información desde la perspectiva de definición que determina el Convenio Europeo de Paisaje y se concluye que dicha información tiene relevancia para ser recogida como variable a tener en cuenta en la aplicación de políticas de gobernanza loca

Predictors of Traumatic Experiences and Mental Wellbeing Among Recent Immigrant Mothers and Children

Immigrant mothers face numerous challenges and unique stressors related not only to their role as asylum-seekers but also to their roles as women and caretakers. Some studies suggest that immigrant mothers may exhibit high internalizing symptoms related to pre-migration trauma exposure, while others claim that such symptoms may be due to the internalization of their children’s mental health. In view of this, a total of 60 recently arrived immigrant mothers and their children from Central America, predominantly the Northern Triangle, who arrived via the U.S-Mexico border were sampled. Immigrant mothers and their children were administered a Spanish battery containing health and trauma screeners. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that, after controlling for maternal demographics and trauma exposure by child and mother, the children’s mental health score was not a significant predictor to maternal mental health; instead, maternal demographics were the strongest predictors to poorer maternal mental health. Clinicians working with this population should be aware of perceived violations of women’s rights. More importantly, policy reform should consider the unique challenges immigrant mothers and their children face upon their arrival into the US and take meaningful action to alleviate such challenges. Future research and clinical implications are discussed

Objects and processes: two notions for understanding biological information

In spite of being ubiquitous in life sciences, the concept of information is harshly criticized. Uses of the concept other than those derived from Shannon's theory are denounced as pernicious metaphors. We perform a computational experiment to explore whether Shannon's information is adequate to describe the uses of said concept in commonplace scientific practice. Our results show that semantic sequences do not have unique complexity values different from the value of meaningless sequences. This result suggests that quantitative theoretical frameworks do not account fully for the complex phenomenon that the term “information” refers to. We propose a restructuring of the concept into two related, but independent notions, and conclude that a complete theory of biological information must account completely not only for both notions, but also for the relationship between them

When the United States says you do not belong: Suicide-related thoughts and behaviors among immigrant young adults varying in immigration legal status

Background: The number of immigrants in the United States and the risk of suicide among minoritized individuals have increased. Little research has examined the impact of immigration legal status on suicide-related thoughts and behaviors (SRTB), despite theoretical and empirical work suggesting that feelings of burdensomeness and failure to belong (prominent among immigrants) are risk factors. Methods: We examined a diverse sample of foreign-born young adults (18–25; N = 366). Data collection utilized the Suicide Behaviors Questionnaire Revised and items probing belongingness and immigration status (undocumented/Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), permanent, and citizen). Results: DACA/undocumented status was associated with increased SRTB compared with permanent and citizen categories. Increased SRTBs were associated with reduced feelings of acceptance in the United States, increased deportation fears, and increased fear of being harassed or hurt. Of these belongingness variables, only the interpersonal—not feeling welcome in the United States—partially mediated the risk relation between DACA/undocumented immigration legal status and SRTBs, whereas physical and legal threat, like deportation, did not. Conclusions: Our results highlight the interpersonal nature of SRTB risk in DACA/undocumented immigrants and the need for targeted culture and context-appropriate interventions, as well as advocacy and policy to reduce risk in this historically marginalized population
