ANALGESIA PREVENTIVA: USO DE DEXTROMETORFANO VIA ORAL E INFILTRACION CON LIDOCAINA SIMPLE PARA CONTROL DE DOLOR POSTOPERATORIO EN PACIENTES SOMETIDOS A CIRUGIA ABDOMINAL
El presente trabajo fue de realizado en el Hospital de la Cruz Roja
Mexicana desde el 1 de marzo de 2010 hasta el 30 de agosto de 2010, con un
universo, reflejado en el paciente quirúrgicos con ASAI-ASAII, con una muestra
de 32 pacientes para cirugía de abdomen. Se dividieron en dos grupos: En el
grupo I (Grupo Control) con 16 pacientes y en el grupo II con 16 pacientes.
La analgesia en el posquirúrgico se valoro con dos escalas de dolor las cuales
destacaron en el lapso de 24 horas en diferentes horas al ingreso a la sala de
recuperación y luego a las 4, 8,16 y 24 horas. En el lapso de 24 horas El grupo 2
alcanzo EVA 6 en un 37.5% y el grupo 1 manejo hasta EVA 3 en un 31.25%. La
desviación estándar en el grupo 1 alcanzo 0.23 y el grupo 2 alcanzo 5, en un
punto crítico
Morphology and vocalization support specific status of the Chestnut-headed Chachalaca, Ortalis motmot ruficeps (Wagler, 1830) (Aves; Galliformes; Cracidae)
The Little Chachalaca (Ortalis motmot) is a widely distributed species in the Amazon basin, typically found in riverine habitats. There are two disjunct populations: the northern O. m. motmot and the southern O. m. ruficeps (known as Chestnut-headed Chachalaca). Here we performed a vocal, morphological and plumage comparison between these two taxa. Birds present differences in tail coloration but are otherwise undiagnosable in terms of plumage. Ortalis m. ruficeps is, however, markedly smaller and lighter than O. m. motmot, with no overlap in size or weight. We also found vocal differences between O. m. motmot and O. m. ruficeps, no overlap in geographic distributions and no signs of hybridization across its range. Based on the available data, Ortalis m. ruficeps thus must be considered a valid species, endemic to Brazil
Narrowing the Strait : Flamenco and Traditional Maghrebi Music as Teaching Resources for Secondary Education Studentes
Esta propuesta parte del convencimiento de la necesidad de recurrir a
elementos cercanos a la realidad del alumnado inmigrante de origen
magrebí en la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria para propiciar el diálogo
intercultural y facilitar su inserción en el sistema educativo español y,
más específicamente, el andaluz. En este sentido, se consideran los nexos
existentes entre la poética y la música del Magreb con el flamenco para
tejer así redes de acercamiento mutuo que refuercen la competencia cocultural
tanto de los docentes como del alumnado.This proposal arises from the conviction of the need to resort to familiar
elements to the migrant students from Maghreb, in order to foster the
intercultural dialogue and to facilitate their inclusion in the Spanish
secondary school system, and particularly, in the Andalusian one. In
this sense, we take into account the existing links between the poetics
and music from Maghreb and flamenco music. Our aim is to implement
links in order to develop a mutual approach and to reinforce the cocultural
competence both of teachers and their students
Stakeholder perceptions in organizational crisis management: exploring alternative configurations
[EN] Crises are socially constructed. Affected stakeholders of an organizational crisis conceive complex associations between their perceptions of the implicated company's response and about the company itself. The study moves away from a simple cause-effect view by deriving alternative configurations of these associations. This approach allows for a better understanding of how stakeholders attribute responsibility for a critical event and the resulting crisis faced by the company that caused it. Using partial least squares structural equation modeling and fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis, we analyze insights of 325 families affected by an environmental incident in 2018 involving Colombia's largest company. We establish a correlation between stakeholders' perceptions of crisis response timeliness and credibility. Accordingly, we expand on how perceptions affect organizational judgments. Finally, we propose that trustworthiness and reputation are antecedents to how organizational crisis response is perceived and how these antecedents affect the degree of the severity of the company crisis.Contreras-Pacheco, OE.; Claasen, C.; Garrigós Simón, FJ.

Engaging with untruthful company crisis communication: The understanding of decoupling in the face of crisis
[EN] Purpose: By considering the organizational legitimacy framework, this work examines how offending
companies decouple their narratives from the facts as a communication strategy when handling
environmental crises in the Latin American context. It also considers the implications of such behavior
in terms of its potential inconsistency with the organizational value system, and therefore with the
ethical sense of the crisis communication practice.
Design/methodology: The research relies on a multi-case study approach, where four major
environmental incidents involving four extractive companies in Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico, and
Argentina are analyzed. By scrutinizing public sources, these companies¿ crisis communication processes
are examined to allow for the linking of theory and practice.
Findings: Results obtained suggest that to defend their legitimacy, companies deliberately conveyed
untruthful messages and decouple their communication in crisis from reality, which in turn exposes a
delinking between values and actions, resulting in ethical concerns for the practice of both crisis
management and crisis communication. This work identifies four different decoupling-based crisis
communication strategies performed by companies and the way these are accompanied by secondary
strategies.
Research limitations/implications: By emphasizing the connection between legitimacy and crisis
communication, the study illustrates how narrative-fact decoupling (i.e., untruthful crisis communication
practices) can be an indicative of more profound organizational contradictions. However, due to the
constraints of case studies, it is acknowledged that the results obtained have boundaries for
generalization.
Originality/value: Instead of approaching decoupling as a trigger for crisis, the present investigation
considers decoupling as a communicational strategy some companies engage with, when handling crisis.
Furthermore, by focusing on Latin America, the study reflects the potential impact that the geographical
context may have on the bodies of knowledge of organizational crisis communication and legitimacy.The authors received financial support from the Universidad Industrial de Santander (Colombia) for the research, authorship, and publication of this articleContreras-Pacheco, OE.; Claasen, C.; Garrigós Simón, FJ.

El régimen impositivo simplificado ecuatoriano Rise: desenvolvimiento y perspectivas
El objetivo del presente trabajo es determinar el comportamiento que ha tenido a través del tiempo el Régimen Impositivo Simplificado Ecuatoriano RISE, en cuanto generador importante de recursos para el Estado, cumpliendo así con los propósitos por los cuales fue creado en el año 2008. Para ello se utiliza estadística descriptiva en función de datos emitidos por el Servicio de Rentas Internas SRI. Las aplicaciones realizadas permiten determinar, que si bien la recaudación proporcionada por este Régimen Tributario muestra un comportamiento creciente en términos monetarios, su dinamia en valores relativos ha llegado a un aletargamiento peligroso, motivado en gran parte por el descuido que su operatividad muestra, como resultado principalmente de las escasas campañas de difusión, así como de la disminución de los mecanismos de control por parte de la Administración Tributaria. Se concluye que es imperiosa la necesidad de reactivar esta modalidad impositiva, más aún si tomamos en cuenta que su cumplimiento es también un indicativo del grado de informalidad –o economía subterránea- en que se desenvuelven determinadas actividades productivas.

Preparing students for the software industry new demands
A solid preparation in terms of soft skills and state- of-the-art technical skills in Software Engineering (SE) is a goal for the academy. It also contributes to reducing the gap between Software Engineering education and the software industry's new demands. Generally, in computer science or computer engineering courses, there are separate subjects to teach requirements engineering, analysis, design, coding, or validation. However, integrating all these subjects usually requires experience in developing a complete project. This article describes aspects of an active and collaborative learning approach involving academia and industry actors. The approach presented in this article involved staff from a software company in collaboration with staff from an academic institution. It resulted in a student being involved in an entire software development project. The student was involved in an agile team of faculty and Information Technology (IT) professionals. The Scrum agile framework was followed, and the product was developed using a Low-code development platform. This article presents the approach, details of the project design and implementation, results achieved, lessons learned, and guidelines for the future. The results show that this agile, full-stack approach allows students to develop cutting- edge technical and non-technical skills.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Profitability, indebtedness and liquidity analysis of microenterprises in Ecuador
Las microempresas representan un componente significativo para el progreso económico de Ecuador. Esta investigación analiza y compara indicadores financieros como la rentabilidad financiera, el endeudamiento y la liquidez corriente de las microempresas de la provincia del Guayas con las del resto de provincias de Ecuador. El análisis utilizó una metodología cuantitativa de tipo descriptiva de diseño transversal para 13 768 microempresas de la provincia del Guayas y 16 093 microempresas del resto de las provincias de Ecuador que reportaron su información financiera a la Superintendencia de Compañías, Valores y Seguros al año 2019. Para comparar estos grupos se realizó una prueba t para muestras independientes con varianzas desiguales. Los resultados de esta investigación indican que, con un nivel de confianza del 95 %, el promedio de endeudamiento y la liquidez corriente media son mayores en la provincia del Guayas mientras que las microempresas del resto de Ecuador reportan una mejor rentabilidad financiera promedio. A pesar de que la provincia del Guayas tiene el mayor porcentaje de microempresas en el país, no es condición suficiente para concluir que sus indicadores financieros, en promedio, son mejores que los del resto de Ecuador. Esta investigación pretende ser un aporte al desarrollo de líneas de trabajo que contribuyan a la elaboración y diseño de políticas que ayuden a la supervivencia y desempeño empresarial de las microempresas.
Microenterprises are an important factor in Ecuador’s economic development. This research analyzes and compares financial indicators such as financial profitability, indebtedness and current liquidity of microenterprises in the province of Guayas with those in other provinces of Ecuador. The analysis used a quantitative methodology of descriptive type of cross-sectional design for 13,768 microenterprises in the province of Guayas and 16,093 microenterprises in the rest of the provinces of Ecuador that reported their financial statements to the Superintendence of Companies, Securities and Insurance as of 2019. To compare these groups, a t-test was performed for independent samples with unequal variances. The results of this research indicate that, with a 95% confidence level, average indebtedness and average current liquidity are higher in the province of Guayas while microenterprises in the rest of Ecuador report better average financial profitability. Although Guayas province has the highest percentage of microenterprises in the country, this is not a sufficient condition to conclude that its financial indicators, on average, are better than those of the rest of Ecuador. This research aims to make a contribution to the development of lines of work that contribute to the elaboration and design of policies that help the survival and business performance of microenterprise
