Diagnóstico del proceso de comunicación interno para proponer una estrategia comunicativa que mejore la imagen y servicio en la División de Bienestar Universitario de la Fundación Universitaria de Popayán

La Fundación Universitaria de Popayán (F.U.P) lleva 17 años brindando Educación Superior en el suroccidente colombiano. Es una institución preocupada por la formación integral de personas que se comprometan con el desarrollo sostenible de la región, del país y de la humanidad. Para lograr esa “Formación integral”, esta universidad es consciente de la importancia del bienestar en la vida universitaria, es por eso que desde su creación constituyó la División de Bienestar Universitario para ofrecer actividades que contribuyan a un adecuado ambiente educativo, a estudiantes, docentes, investigadores, directivos y administrativos. Todo enfocado en un desarrollo físico, mental, moral, social y de robustecimiento de principios y valores de toda la familia universitaria. Esta división, para cumplir con los objetivos anteriormente planteados, continuamente promueve actividades de integración entre los diferentes protagonistas de la comunidad mediante la cultura, el deporte y el arte; además, también coordina programas de Salud (Atención médica, odontológica, psicológica, oftalmológica, exámenes de laboratorio y póliza de seguro colectivo contra accidentes). Como en todas las organizaciones la comunicación, juega un papel muy importante, y esta dependencia constantemente debe estar comunicando e informando a la comunidad universitaria de sus actividades, de sus realizaciones, de sus objetivos, de su labor, de su desempeño, etc. Es en este aspecto tan importante donde esta investigación ha enfocado todo su esfuerzo, ya que se realizó un análisis correspondiente al manejo que se ha estado dando en el proceso de promoción y divulgación en la dependencia de Bienestar Universitario de la Fundación Universitaria de Popayán, no sin antes conocer un poco la cultura organizacional de esta institución, mediante un pequeño diagnóstico cultural el cual sirvió para conocer el contexto en el que se encuentra inmerso nuestro objeto de estudio y de esta forma comprender y evaluar mejor su situación y desempeño en el ámbito comunicativo y culturalTesis (Comunicador Social-Periodista)--Corporación Universitaria Autónoma de Occidente.

Análisis del impacto social de la formación de Comunicadores Sociales y Periodistas de Unicomfacauca: demandas, desafíos sociales y desafíos del mundo laboral

Article product of an investigation developed in Colombia and in its southwestern area, developed and coordinated by the Colombian Association of Faculties and University Programs of Communication-AFACOM in which about 42 Social Communication and Journalism programs from different universities participated. With a focus only on the reality of the graduates of the Social Communication and Journalism program of the Comfacauca University Corporation - Unicomfacauca located in the city of Popayán-Cauca-Colombia. It sought to characterize the professional profile of the Social Communicator and Journalist graduated from Unicomfacauca in the context of the labor market in the department of Cauca. This reality was learned through the versions of employers and various actors who have welcomed graduates of the aforementioned program into their work environments. Likewise, the versions and experiences of different Social Communicators and Journalists graduated from this professional career from Unicomfacauca were accessed and, as a case study, the conditions of the labor context of Cauca in recent years were examined. This study made it possible to know the social impact of the social communicators and journalists of Unicomfacauca in the department of Cauca, a territory with multiple social, political, economic and ethnic conflicts. Despite this, the Unicomfacaucano communicator has managed to face the labor challenges of his profession. Distinguishing himself among his colleagues from other academic institutions in the region, due to his versatility in the different fields and work settings of communication, both in social, public and private organizations.Artículo producto de una investigación desarrollada en Colombia y en su zona suroccidental, gestada y coordinada por la Asociación colombiana de Facultades y Programas universitarios de Comunicación-AFACOM en la cual participaron cerca de 42 programas de Comunicación Social y Periodismo de diferentes universidades.

Difusión del Derecho a la Paz en las zonas rurales del departamento del Cauca a través de radios comunitarias

This paper present the rol of the communitary radios inside the Cauca department and its relation with the right of the people to live in peace in the rural zones, where its habitants historically have been affected by the arm conflict. In this context the radio station appears like an important participation space for the citizens, for that reason this text presents the function of the radio in the present and the future post conflict scenery in Colombia. One of the hypotheses in this investigation is that the communitary radio contributes in the community inclusion and the contents management to promote the freedom expression and the democracy participation. This historical mass media, the radio, is an important tool for the live in peace right diffusion, gives a powerful perspective about many genres in radio with differentially focus.El artículo reflexiona acerca del papel de las radios comunitarias del departamento del Cauca en la promoción del Derecho a la Paz para las zonas rurales que se han visto históricamente afectadas por el conflicto armado. La radio aparece como una oportunidad para la participación ciudadana y, en este sentido, se evidencia cuál es y será su función en un escenario posible de postconflicto en Colombia. Una de las hipótesis de esta investigación es que la radio comunitaria favorece la inclusión de las comunidades en la gestión de contenidos, promoviendo el derecho a la libre expresión y a la participación democrática, es también una herramienta de difusión del Derecho a la Paz con una perspectiva de género y desde un enfoque diferencial. La metodología aplicada es de carácter cualitativo, llevando a cabo entrevistas de profundidad, grupos focales y observación in situ. Se realizó igualmente una recopilación de información secundaria de las zonas rurales

Entramado cultural en la práctica culinaria: entre las tradiciones, los gustos y sabores

This paper aims to outline, how from the different notions of the concept of culture, have been demarcating the symbolic and ritual meanings around this practice, and whose interpretation, have originated the new dietary structures, hand in hand with the schemes of contemporary food. For this purpose, some concepts from Malinowski (1931), Bourdieu (2000), Fischler (1995), Geertz (1997), among others, are taken up, from which, feeding could be understood as part of a complex tissue of production, distribution and adaptation of norms of behaviors that signify culinary traditions, taste and flavors.El presente escrito pretende esbozar cómo desde las diferentes nociones del concepto cultura se han venido demarcando las significaciones simbólicas y rituales en torno a dicha práctica, y de cuya interpretación se han originado las nuevas estructuras dietarias, de la mano con los esquemas de alimentación contemporánea. Para tal fin, se retoman algunos conceptos dispuestos por Malinowski (1931), Bourdieu (2000), Fischler (1995) y Geertz (1997), entre otros, a partir de los cuales se podría comprender la alimentación como parte de un tejido complejo de producción, distribución y adaptación de normas de comportamiento que signan las tradiciones culinarias, el gusto y los sabores

Environmental gradients and the evolution of successional habitat specialization: A test case with 14 Neotropical forest sites

https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84939570316&partnerID=40&md5=fcadae8e6c274e8b7efca96099304a7cSuccessional gradients are ubiquitous in nature, yet few studies have systematically examined the evolutionary origins of taxa that specialize at different successional stages. Here we quantify successional habitat specialization in Neotropical forest trees and evaluate its evolutionary lability along a precipitation gradient. Theoretically, successional habitat specialization should be more evolutionarily conserved in wet forests than in dry forests due to more extreme microenvironmental differentiation between early and late-successional stages in wet forest. We applied a robust multinomial classification model to samples of primary and secondary forest trees from 14 Neotropical lowland forest sites spanning a precipitation gradient from 788 to 4000 mm annual rainfall, identifying species that are old-growth specialists and secondary forest specialists in each site. We constructed phylogenies for the classified taxa at each site and for the entire set of classified taxa and tested whether successional habitat specialization is phylogenetically conserved. We further investigated differences in the functional traits of species specializing in secondary vs. old-growth forest along the precipitation gradient, expecting different trait associations with secondary forest specialists in wet vs. dry forests since water availability is more limiting in dry forests and light availability more limiting in wet forests. Successional habitat specialization is non-randomly distributed in the angiosperm phylogeny, with a tendency towards phylogenetic conservatism overall and a trend towards stronger conservatism in wet forests than in dry forests. However, the specialists come from all the major branches of the angiosperm phylogeny, and very few functional traits showed any consistent relationships with successional habitat specialization in either wet or dry forests. Synthesis. The niche conservatism evident in the habitat specialization of Neotropical trees suggests a role for radiation into different successional habitats in the evolution of species-rich genera, though the diversity of functional traits that lead to success in different successional habitats complicates analyses at the community scale. Examining the distribution of particular lineages with respect to successional gradients may provide more insight into the role of successional habitat specialization in the evolution of species-rich taxa

Mortality from gastrointestinal congenital anomalies at 264 hospitals in 74 low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries: a multicentre, international, prospective cohort study

Summary Background Congenital anomalies are the fifth leading cause of mortality in children younger than 5 years globally. Many gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are fatal without timely access to neonatal surgical care, but few studies have been done on these conditions in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs). We compared outcomes of the seven most common gastrointestinal congenital anomalies in low-income, middle-income, and high-income countries globally, and identified factors associated with mortality. Methods We did a multicentre, international prospective cohort study of patients younger than 16 years, presenting to hospital for the first time with oesophageal atresia, congenital diaphragmatic hernia, intestinal atresia, gastroschisis, exomphalos, anorectal malformation, and Hirschsprung’s disease. Recruitment was of consecutive patients for a minimum of 1 month between October, 2018, and April, 2019. We collected data on patient demographics, clinical status, interventions, and outcomes using the REDCap platform. Patients were followed up for 30 days after primary intervention, or 30 days after admission if they did not receive an intervention. The primary outcome was all-cause, in-hospital mortality for all conditions combined and each condition individually, stratified by country income status. We did a complete case analysis. Findings We included 3849 patients with 3975 study conditions (560 with oesophageal atresia, 448 with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 681 with intestinal atresia, 453 with gastroschisis, 325 with exomphalos, 991 with anorectal malformation, and 517 with Hirschsprung’s disease) from 264 hospitals (89 in high-income countries, 166 in middleincome countries, and nine in low-income countries) in 74 countries. Of the 3849 patients, 2231 (58·0%) were male. Median gestational age at birth was 38 weeks (IQR 36–39) and median bodyweight at presentation was 2·8 kg (2·3–3·3). Mortality among all patients was 37 (39·8%) of 93 in low-income countries, 583 (20·4%) of 2860 in middle-income countries, and 50 (5·6%) of 896 in high-income countries (p<0·0001 between all country income groups). Gastroschisis had the greatest difference in mortality between country income strata (nine [90·0%] of ten in lowincome countries, 97 [31·9%] of 304 in middle-income countries, and two [1·4%] of 139 in high-income countries; p≤0·0001 between all country income groups). Factors significantly associated with higher mortality for all patients combined included country income status (low-income vs high-income countries, risk ratio 2·78 [95% CI 1·88–4·11], p<0·0001; middle-income vs high-income countries, 2·11 [1·59–2·79], p<0·0001), sepsis at presentation (1·20 [1·04–1·40], p=0·016), higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score at primary intervention (ASA 4–5 vs ASA 1–2, 1·82 [1·40–2·35], p<0·0001; ASA 3 vs ASA 1–2, 1·58, [1·30–1·92], p<0·0001]), surgical safety checklist not used (1·39 [1·02–1·90], p=0·035), and ventilation or parenteral nutrition unavailable when needed (ventilation 1·96, [1·41–2·71], p=0·0001; parenteral nutrition 1·35, [1·05–1·74], p=0·018). Administration of parenteral nutrition (0·61, [0·47–0·79], p=0·0002) and use of a peripherally inserted central catheter (0·65 [0·50–0·86], p=0·0024) or percutaneous central line (0·69 [0·48–1·00], p=0·049) were associated with lower mortality. Interpretation Unacceptable differences in mortality exist for gastrointestinal congenital anomalies between lowincome, middle-income, and high-income countries. Improving access to quality neonatal surgical care in LMICs will be vital to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 of ending preventable deaths in neonates and children younger than 5 years by 2030
