    ABSTRACT: To describe the nutritional food situation of the inhabitants of households without household utilities connection in neighborhoods that form the upper section of commune 3 in the city of Medellin. Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted. Sample size was 220 households, using simple random sampling. Information was collected using a structured questionnaire and using the Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale-elcsa (in Spanish, Escala Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Seguridad Alimentaria). A statistical analysis was conducted using spss® software Version 19. Information analysis was conducted using descriptive an exploratory data analysis. Furthermore, a multiple correspondence analysis was conducted to establish social economic and food profiles of the households without utilities connection. The study estimated an association between malnutrition and household socioeconomic variables using a chi-square test. Results: We found that there are two ways of not being connected to household utilities: one as a result of service disconnection (lack of payment) and the other because of access (high risk housing or outside the city's territorial plan). Household population distribution is pyramid-shaped and progressive, where the families are mainly represented by two-parent nuclear families where the head of the household has an informal labor situation; they have their own house and their schooling is no higher than Secondary School. Malnutrition variables were associated with covariates as overcrowding, income level and hut-type housing. Two household classifications were obtained which were households facing moderate to severe food and nutrition insecurity and homes facing slight food insecurity. Conclusion: Households that without utilities connection in the neighborhoods located in the upper sector of commune 3 do not have the economic capacity, and do not have a minimum setting to improve their health conditions, which creates a permanent food risk, particularly for underage children. The basic food basket of the participating households consists of food that mostly provides carbohydrates and calories; they eat fruit in minimum amounts. Key words: food, malnutrition, sanitation, poverty, public water supply, power supply.RESUMEN: Describir la situación alimentaria nutricional de los habitantes de las viviendas desconectadas de los servicios públicos domiciliarios de los barrios que conforman la franja alta de la comuna 3 de la ciudad de Medellín. Materiales y métodos: Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo transversal. Se tomó un tamaño de muestra de 220 hogares, por medio de un muestreo aleatorio simple. Se recogió información a través de un cuestionario estructurado y por el método de la Escala Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Seguridad Alimentaria (elcsa). Los análisis estadísticos fueron hechos en el software spss® versión 19. El análisis de la información se efectuó mediante análisis descriptivos y exploratorio de los datos. También se realizó un análisis de correspondencias múltiples, con el fin de establecer perfiles socioeconómicos y alimentarios de los hogares desconectados. Se estimó la asociación entre la desnutrición y variables socioeconómicas del hogar, con la prueba chi-cuadrado. Resultados: Existen dos formas de desconexión de los servicios públicos domiciliarios: una por prestación (falto de pago) y otra por acceso (viviendas en alto riesgo o por fuera del plan territorial de la ciudad). La distribución poblacional de los hogares es piramidal progresiva, donde se resaltan las familias nucleadas biparentales y la informalidad como la situación laboral de la cabeza de familia; la tenencia de la vivienda es propia y el nivel académico no sobrepasa la secundaria. Se asociaron las variables de desnutrición con las covariables de hacinamiento, nivel de ingreso y tipo de vivienda rancho. Se obtuvieron dos clasificaciones de los hogares, conformadas por hogares en inseguridad alimentaria y nutricional moderada a severa y hogares con inseguridad alimentaria leve. Conclusión: Los hogares desconectados de los servicios públicos domiciliarios de los barrios de la franja alta de la comuna 3 no cuentan ni con la capacidad económica ni con un entorno mínimo para mejorar sus condiciones de salud, lo cual constituye un riesgo alimentario permanente, en especial para los menores de edad. La canasta básica de los hogares encuestados son alimentos que aportan, en su mayor proporción, carbohidratos y calorías; las frutas son consumidas en mínimas cantidades. Palabras clave: alimentación, malnutrición, saneamiento, pobreza, suministro público de agua, suministro de energía

    The recent and unknown COVID-19 disease declared a pandemic in March 2020 which is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which at the beginning of its appearance mainly affected older adults and over time has affected adult patients and young adults, in whom the common suffering of some comorbidities such as obesity has been observed along with other coexisting chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and arterial hypertension, considering that they are factors that increase the risk of complications from COVID-19 and the probability of long hospital stay and even mortality. When conducting this study, the relationship of some statistically significant variables such as the length of hospital stay with the days in NPO (nothing by mouth) in the patients was observed, as well as the close relationship between the diagnosis of the weight of the patients with the development of bedsores throughout the hospital stay and finally the high risk of mortality as there is a significant relationship between these variables. Thus, we can affirm that nutritional status at admission and during hospital stay seems to be a relevant factor that influences the clinical outcome of critically ill COVID-19 patients. The purpose of this study is to analyze the main dietary causes that increase the risk of long hospital stay and patient mortality in order to create recommendations related to the adequate nutritional management of critically ill hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in order to improve the prognosis and clinical outcomes.La reciente y desconocida enfermedad COVID-19 declarada pandemia en marzo de 2020 la cual es causada por el virus del SARS-CoV-2, que a inicios de su aparición afectaba principalmente a adultos mayores y con el pasar del tiempo ha afectado pacientes adultos y adultos jóvenes, en los cuales se ha observado el común padecimiento de algunas comorbilidades como la obesidad junto con otras enfermedades crónicas coexistentes como diabetes de tipo 2 e hipertensión arterial, considerando que son factores que aumentan el riesgo de complicaciones por COVID 19 y probabilidad de larga estancia hospitalaria e incluso mortalidad. Al realizar este estudio, se observó la relación de algunas variables estadísticamente significativas como el tiempo de estancia hospitalaria con los días en NPO (nada por vía oral) en los pacientes, así también se consideró la estrecha relación entre el diagnóstico del peso de los pacientes con el desarrollo de escaras a lo largo de la estancia hospitalaria y finalmente el alto riesgo de mortalidad al poseer una relación significativa entre dichas variables. Así podemos afirmar que el estado nutricional al ingreso y durante la estancia hospitalaria parece ser un factor relevante que influye en el resultado clínico de los pacientes con COVID-19 críticamente enfermos. El propósito de este estudio es analizar las principales causas alimentarias que aumentan el riesgo de larga estancia hospitalaria y de mortalidad del paciente para poder crear recomendaciones relacionadas con el adecuado manejo nutricional del paciente hospitalizado críticamente enfermo con COVID-19 con la finalidad de mejorar el pronóstico y los resultados clínicos

    CLIL in Action: Educational and Professional Interactions among Teachers

    Get PDF
    AICLE (Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lenguas Extranjeras) es el enfoque oficial europeo para la educación bilingüe, auspiciado por la Comisión Europea y fomentado por una cantidad ingente de investigación e implementación en todos los niveles educativos. Sin embargo, AICLE necesita de más investigación en el aula e interacciones que ofrezcan datos que nos indiquen en qué contextos y bajo qué condiciones específicas las acciones educativas son o no eficaces. Es en esta línea (innovación educativa e interacción en el aula) en la que entendemos que la formación inicial del profesorado en el ámbito de la educación bilingüe ha de estar necesariamente ligada a la formación permanente del profesorado y a la praxis en el aula que proporciona el profesorado en ejercicio. El objetivo esencial de este artículo consiste en establecer el vínculo entre profesorado universitario, profesorado en ejercicio, profesorado en formación (a tres niveles: Grado, Máster y Doctorado) y los CEP de Córdoba y provincia para diseñar una estructura de formación recíproca y cuidadosamente planificada, que contribuya a mejorar la calidad de la educación bilingüe a través del intercambio de prácticas de innovación educativa que fomenten la interacción y el aprendizaje en acción.CLIL (Content and Foreign Language Integrated Learning) is the official European approach to bilingual education, sponsored by the European Commission and fostered by an enormous amount of research and implementation at all levels of education. However, CLIL needs more research in the classroom and interactions which provide data on what contexts and under what specific conditions educational actions are or are not effective. It is in this line (educational innovation and interaction in the classroom) that we understand that the initial training of teachers in the field of bilingual education must necessarily be linked to the ongoing training of teachers and to the praxis in the classroom provided by practising teachers. The essential objective of this article is to establish the link between university teachers, practising teachers, teachers in training (at three levels: Bachelor, Master and Doctorate) and the CEPs of Cordoba and province to design a carefully planned reciprocal training structure that contributes to improving the quality of bilingual education through the exchange of educational innovation practices that foster interaction and learning in action

    Differential cross section measurements for the production of a W boson in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV

    Get PDF
    Measurements are reported of differential cross sections for the production of a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, in association with jets, as a function of several variables, including the transverse momenta (pT) and pseudorapidities of the four leading jets, the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta (HT), and the difference in azimuthal angle between the directions of each jet and the muon. The data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb[superscript −1]. The measured cross sections are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo generators, MadGraph + pythia and sherpa, and to next-to-leading-order calculations from BlackHat + sherpa. The differential cross sections are found to be in agreement with the predictions, apart from the pT distributions of the leading jets at high pT values, the distributions of the HT at high-HT and low jet multiplicity, and the distribution of the difference in azimuthal angle between the leading jet and the muon at low values.United States.

    Juxtaposing BTE and ATE – on the role of the European insurance industry in funding civil litigation

    Get PDF
    One of the ways in which legal services are financed, and indeed shaped, is through private insurance arrangement. Two contrasting types of legal expenses insurance contracts (LEI) seem to dominate in Europe: before the event (BTE) and after the event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. Notwithstanding institutional differences between different legal systems, BTE and ATE insurance arrangements may be instrumental if government policy is geared towards strengthening a market-oriented system of financing access to justice for individuals and business. At the same time, emphasizing the role of a private industry as a keeper of the gates to justice raises issues of accountability and transparency, not readily reconcilable with demands of competition. Moreover, multiple actors (clients, lawyers, courts, insurers) are involved, causing behavioural dynamics which are not easily predicted or influenced. Against this background, this paper looks into BTE and ATE arrangements by analysing the particularities of BTE and ATE arrangements currently available in some European jurisdictions and by painting a picture of their respective markets and legal contexts. This allows for some reflection on the performance of BTE and ATE providers as both financiers and keepers. Two issues emerge from the analysis that are worthy of some further reflection. Firstly, there is the problematic long-term sustainability of some ATE products. Secondly, the challenges faced by policymakers that would like to nudge consumers into voluntarily taking out BTE LEI

    Search for stop and higgsino production using diphoton Higgs boson decays

    Results are presented of a search for a "natural" supersymmetry scenario with gauge mediated symmetry breaking. It is assumed that only the supersymmetric partners of the top-quark (stop) and the Higgs boson (higgsino) are accessible. Events are examined in which there are two photons forming a Higgs boson candidate, and at least two b-quark jets. In 19.7 inverse femtobarns of proton-proton collision data at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, recorded in the CMS experiment, no evidence of a signal is found and lower limits at the 95% confidence level are set, excluding the stop mass below 360 to 410 GeV, depending on the higgsino mass

    Severe early onset preeclampsia: short and long term clinical, psychosocial and biochemical aspects

    Get PDF
    Preeclampsia is a pregnancy specific disorder commonly defined as de novo hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks gestational age. It occurs in approximately 3-5% of pregnancies and it is still a major cause of both foetal and maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide1. As extensive research has not yet elucidated the aetiology of preeclampsia, there are no rational preventive or therapeutic interventions available. The only rational treatment is delivery, which benefits the mother but is not in the interest of the foetus, if remote from term. Early onset preeclampsia (<32 weeks’ gestational age) occurs in less than 1% of pregnancies. It is, however often associated with maternal morbidity as the risk of progression to severe maternal disease is inversely related with gestational age at onset2. Resulting prematurity is therefore the main cause of neonatal mortality and morbidity in patients with severe preeclampsia3. Although the discussion is ongoing, perinatal survival is suggested to be increased in patients with preterm preeclampsia by expectant, non-interventional management. This temporising treatment option to lengthen pregnancy includes the use of antihypertensive medication to control hypertension, magnesium sulphate to prevent eclampsia and corticosteroids to enhance foetal lung maturity4. With optimal maternal haemodynamic status and reassuring foetal condition this results on average in an extension of 2 weeks. Prolongation of these pregnancies is a great challenge for clinicians to balance between potential maternal risks on one the eve hand and possible foetal benefits on the other. Clinical controversies regarding prolongation of preterm preeclamptic pregnancies still exist – also taking into account that preeclampsia is the leading cause of maternal mortality in the Netherlands5 - a debate which is even more pronounced in very preterm pregnancies with questionable foetal viability6-9. Do maternal risks of prolongation of these very early pregnancies outweigh the chances of neonatal survival? Counselling of women with very early onset preeclampsia not only comprises of knowledge of the outcome of those particular pregnancies, but also knowledge of outcomes of future pregnancies of these women is of major clinical importance. This thesis opens with a review of the literature on identifiable risk factors of preeclampsia
