    Describir el estado de bienestar psicológico según el tipo de contratación en empleados de una institución pública de la ciudad de Medellín. Marco conceptual. Se aborda el bienestar psicológico desde distintos contextos siendo este vital para el buen desarrollo de las actividades que vayan a desempeñar los seres humanos, ya que este influye positivamente en el despliegue de capacidades y el crecimiento personal, de esta forma obtener una buena calidad de vida, haciendo énfasis en la perspectiva laboral. Método. Estudio cuantitativo descriptivo-trasversal, se aplicó la escala de bienestar psicológico de Ryff a 120 trabajadores profesionales (Área Metropolitana del Valle de Aburrá ) con diferentes tipos de contratación de la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia. Los resultados no permitieron confirmar la hipótesis de estudio, no se encontró diferencia significativa cuando se compararon los resultados por tipo de vinculación. El tipo de contrato no afecta significativamente el factor dominante del bienestar que es el sentido, es decir en relación con este no tiene nada que ver tener un tipo de contrato con construir un sentido alrededor del hecho de trabajar y esa es la razón que quizás explica porque esa situación no es predictor o determinante del bienestar

    Organic farming is growing rapidly worldwide since it is perceived as more respectful of the environment than conventional farming. In this sense, organic agriculture is highly appreciated by consumers since consumers around the world believe that organic food has a higher content of beneficial compounds for health and consider it of higher quality. For that reason, the objective of this research was to evaluate the nutritional, sensorial, and functional quality of the ‘Fino 49’ lemon grafted on Citrus macrophylla in conventional and organic cultivation. Fatty acids, amino acids, total phenol, and polyphenols were quantified, antioxidant activity was measured, and sensory descriptive analysis was performed. Conventional farming led to an increase in amino acid content (641 mg L1) and an increase in polyunsaturated fatty acids (254 mg 100 g1) and monounsaturated fatty acids (37.61 mg 100 g1). On the other hand, organically produced lemon fruits had better sensory profile (highlighting overall aroma (6.5), lemon odor (6.8), sourness (5.8), floral (0.6), and fresh lemon flavor (9.8)), and lower thrombogenicity index (0.15). The type of cultivation (organic and conventional) had no influence on the antioxidant activity (~1.60, ~3.08, and ~4.16 mmol Trolox L1 for ABTS+, DPPH , and FRAP, respectively) and polyphenols content (85.51 and 86.69 conventional and organic, respectively). However, to establish the advantages and disadvantages of different types of cultivation on lemon quality more studies are needed

    Landslide Susceptibility Analysis on the Vicinity of Bogotá-Villavicencio Road (Eastern Cordillera of the Colombian Andes)

    Landslide occurrence in Colombia is very frequent due to its geographical location in the Andean mountain range, with a very pronounced orography, a significant geological complexity and an outstanding climatic variability. More specifically, the study area around the Bogotá-Villavicencio road in the central sector of the Eastern Cordillera is one of the regions with the highest concentration of phenomena, which makes its study a priority. An inventory and detailed analysis of 2506 landslides has been carried out, in which five basic typologies have been differentiated: avalanches, debris flows, slides, earth flows and creeping areas. Debris avalanches and debris flows occur mainly in metamorphic materials (phyllites, schists and quartz-sandstones), areas with sparse vegetation, steep slopes and lower sections of hillslopes; meanwhile, slides, earth flows and creep occur in Cretaceous lutites, crop/grass lands, medium and low slopes and lower-middle sections of the hillslopes. Based on this analysis, landslide susceptibility models have been made for the different typologies and with different methods (matrix, discriminant analysis, random forest and neural networks) and input factors. The results are generally quite good, with average AUC-ROC values above 0.7–0.8, and the machine learning methods are the most appropriate, especially random forest, with a selected number of factors (between 6 and 8). The degree of fit (DF) usually shows relative errors lower than 5% and success higher than 90%. Finally, an integrated landslide susceptibility map (LSM) has been made for shallower and deeper types of movements. All the LSM show a clear zonation as a consequence of the geological control of the susceptibility

    Criteria for HydroSOS Quality Index. Application to Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Processed Table Olives

    Water, especially in arid and semiarid regions, is increasingly a disputed commodity among different productive sectors; the pressure for a more sustainable use of water in agriculture will grow. The main strategy to cope with water scarcity is the use of improved, innovative, and precise deficit irrigation management practices which are able to minimize the impact on fruit yield and quality. The aim of this paper was to develop a certification index or hydroSOS quality index for extra virgin olive oil and processed table olives. The hydrosSOS fruits and vegetables are those cultivated under regulated deficit irrigation (RDI). Different indicators in three quality areas ((i) fatty acids, (ii) phenolic compounds, and (iii) sensory attributes) were identified as showing characteristic or typical responses under RDI conditions. Marks or scores were assigned to each one of these indicators to calculate the proposed index. It can be concluded that an extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) or processed table olives are hydroSOStainable foods, if they meet 2 conditions: (i) fulfill the conditions established in the hydroSOS “irrigation” index, and (ii) fulfill the requirements of the hydroSOS “quality” index. HydroSOS quality index will be specific to each crop and variety and will depend on functional and sensory factors

    Mandarin production has increased in recent years, especially for fresh consumption, due to its ease of peeling, its aroma, and its content of bioactive compounds. In this sense, aromas play a fundamental role in the sensory quality of this fruit. The selection of the appropriate rootstock is crucial for the success of the crop and its quality. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify the influence of 9 rootstocks (“Carrizo citrange”, “Swingle citrumelo CPB 4475”, “Macrophylla”, “Volkameriana”, “Forner-Alcaide 5”, “Forner-Alcaide V17”, “C-35”, “Forner-Alcaide 418”, and “Forner-Alcaide 517”) on the volatile composition of “Clemenules” mandarin. For this, the volatile compounds of mandarin juice were measured using headspace solid-phase micro-extraction in a gas chromatograph coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC-MS). Seventy-one volatile compounds were identified in the analyzed samples, with limonene being the main compound. The results obtained showed that the rootstock used in the cultivation of mandarins affects the volatile content of the juice, with “Carrizo citrange”, “Forner-Alcaide 5”, “Forner-Alcaide 418”, and “Forner-Alcaide 517” being those that presented the highest concentration

    El presente trabajo se propone articular una reflexión sobre algunos retos que enfrenta la investigación psicosociológica de cara al acompañamiento, soporte e inclusive orientación de los procesos y dinámicas psicosociales de construcción de paz. Se inspira en el conjunto de trabajos aquí incluidos, pero no se basa en ellos de manera exclusiva ni prioritaria; busca, más bien, ofrecer un conjunto de criterios para la reflexión crítica en un momento histórico único por las oportunidades de incidencia que se le abren, para el mejoramiento de la investigación psicosociológica. Se espera animar a su vez nuevas prácticas reflexivas que contribuyan a incrementar la relevancia y la pertinencia de este tipo de investigación, a elegir caminos fecundos tanto para la definición de programas de investigación como de decisiones curriculares cruciales para la formación avanzada de nuevas generaciones de profesionales que contribuyan en los próximos años a este fundamental reto de construcción de la paz profunda en Colombia. El libro es una contribución a las reflexiones epistemológicas, metodológicas y éticas en un momento histórico y político crucial para el país, en el que desafortunadamente no vemos aún materializarse el deseo de paz en la Colombia profunda. Pero, aún en medio de las vicisitudes y las promesas por cumplir de una paz estable y duradera, cobra sentido y mayor relevancia el saber psicosociológico.PRÓLOGO. UN LEGADO CERCANO Y COLABORATIVO.
