    Get PDF
    El tratamiento de las heridas es considerado de gran interés en el sistema de salud, tanto por el alto número de pacientes afectados, como por la cantidad del presupuesto que se destina a ello. Las infecciones por microorganismos empeoran y retrasan la cicatrización, por lo que la aplicación de metales como el cobre y la plata que demuestran ser efectivos contra infecciones multirresistentes, se convierten en una gran alternativa al tratamiento tradicional. En esta revisión bibliográfica se recogen algunos de los últimos estudios que analizan los efectos del cobre y la plata en la curación de heridas. También se analizan sus principales ventajas e inconvenientes y se estudian distintos productos que los tienen en su composición. El cobre destaca por sus características angiogénicas que aceleran la cicatrización de la herida, su poder antimicrobiano y la baja prevalencia de complicaciones y reacciones adversas que produce. La plata es considerada como el antiséptico ideal, siendo efectiva contra toda clase de microorganismos infecciosos. Aunque presenta mayor número de reacciones adversas que el cobre y sus productos únicamente son rentables en tratamientos prolongados en el tiempo, es un elemento muy eficaz en la prevención y tratamiento de infecciones y su uso es muy recomendable.OtroGrado en Enfermerí

    La estructura económica del municipio de Tegueste, al noreste de la isla de Tenerife ha estado vinculada históricamente al sector agrario. Sin embargo, a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XX, este municipio inicia un progresivo proceso de pérdida de suelo destinado a labores agrarias, vinculado a la necesidad de espacio residencial que absorba la demanda del área metropolitana Santa Cruz – La Laguna. Esta pérdida de suelo, ha estado condicionada por una serie de agentes: el planeamiento municipal, a través de los distintos planes ejecutadas sobre el territorio, las infraestructuras viales, mediante las mejoras de conectividad y la propia ejecución de las mismas sobre el suelo agrario, y en tercer lugar, el precio del suelo, cambiante en función de su clasificación y sus perspectivas de futuro planeamiento. Mediante estos tres agentes se ha tratado de explicar la pérdida espacios agrarios en Tegueste, relacionada con la cercanía al área metropolitana insular y la demanda de suelo residencial que ella genera en su proximidad.Tegueste economy, northeast of the island of Tenerife, has been historically linked to the agricultural sector. However, from the second half of the twentieth century, this town started a gradual process of loss of land for agricultural, linked to the need for residential space to absorb the demand of the metropolitan area Santa Cruz - La Laguna. This loss of soil has been conditioned by a range of actors: municipal planning, through the various planning figures executed on the territory. The road infrastructure through improved connectivity and the proper execution of the same on the agricultural land, and thirdly, the price of land itself, changing depending on their classification and their prospects for future planning. Through these three agents, has tried to explain the loss in agricultural areas Tegueste related to the proximity to the insular metropolitan area and the demand for residential land it generates in its proximity

    Treball Final de Grau en Turisme. Codi: TU0944. Curs acadèmic: 2019/2020My proposal for this project is the management analysis of Peñíscola in the tourist aspects of the village and suggest some improvements. The first part of the analysis is to develop a complete and deep description of the town in all the appropriate areas for this analysis, including the history, the location, the access, the segmentation, the characteristics (dividing them between the Old Town and the New Town), the demography, the local festivities, the gastronomy, the climate and the recognitions and prizes. The next step is the fixation of the strategy and the objectives that are going to be followed to provide adequate solutions to the detected problems. The following point to deal with, is the elaboration of a marketing plan, dividing it into the internal or external factors. The external analysis will have the PESTLE analysis and an investigation of the potential competitors. The internal analysis will be composed by the identification and qualification of the tourist resources and the SWOT analysis. Lastly, some suggestions and solutions to the town’s weak points and elaborate an improvement plan to be taken into consideration for the future. The scope of action will be at the local level, so the investigation will be specially focused only to the town in question but the study of the external factors that could affect the town will be at a wider level

    El proceso de organización de la sanidad en Cuba (1902-1906). Las ordenanzas sanitarias de 1906

    Get PDF
    Between 1898 and 1909, medicine in Cuba underwent a period of profound transformations. The culminating point of that period were the Health Ordinances of 1906, the first Cuban sanitary code. It constituted, until that moment, the biggest attempt to organize the health in the country. It disposed of a technical rigor to the height of the most advanced in the world then. However, the lack of investigative-analytical attention to their content is contradictory. The aim of this paper was to analyze the main legal provisions regarding Health in the period 1898-1906 as well as the content of the Sanitary Ordinances. Guided by the scientific method, heuristic, historical- logical, inductive-deductive, synthetic analytical methods were used, among others. A total of 12 materials wereconsulted. Of primary importance were primary sources such as the Sanitary Ordinances, the Acts of the Constituent Assembly of 1901 and the Military Order 159. In a conclusive way, beyond their demonstrated values, the fundamental limitation of the Law on SanitaryOrdinances was based on the decentralized character of the health that it raised, when the Local Health Boards were dependent on the municipal councils.Entre 1898 y 1909, la medicina en Cuba vivió un período de profundas transformaciones. El punto culminante de ese período fueron las Ordenanzas Sanitarias de 1906, el primer código sanitario cubano. Constituyó, hasta ese momento, el mayor intento por organizar la sanidad en el país. Dispuso de un rigor técnico a la altura de los más avanzados en el mundo entonces. Sin embargo, resulta contradictoria la escasa atención investigativo-analítica de su contenido. Fue objetivo del presente trabajo analizar las principales disposiciones legales referentes a la Sanidad en el período 1898-1906 así como el contenido de las Ordenanzas Sanitarias. Guiados por el método científico se emplearon los métodos heurístico, histórico-lógico, inductivo-deductivo, analítico sintético, entre otros. Se consultó un total de 12 materiales. Fueron de capital importancia fuentes primarias como las propias Ordenanzas Sanitarias, las Actas de la Asamblea Constituyente de 1901 y la Orden Militar 159. De manera conclusiva, más allá de sus demostrados valores, la limitación fundamental de la ley Ordenanzas Sanitarias radicó en el carácter descentralizado de la sanidad que planteaba, al quedar las Juntas Locales de Sanidad dependientes de los Ayuntamientos municipales

    Community-oriented Service-Learning: A university experience for preventing cannabis abuse in vulnerable adolescents and young people

    Get PDF
    Learning integrated into community action promotes a more active citizenry. More specifically, service-learning (S-L) embedded into higher education can represent a big challenge yet also an opportunity to involve the whole university community in social and community development. This paper addresses this teaching method by identifiying and reviewing the different components that define S-L, that is: civic engagement, social responsibility, civic education, partnership, and reflection. The ways in which S-L can be introduced into the curriculum are explained, through detailing experiences already carried out in the teaching of psychology. Current available data on its efficacy in university education are analyzed. The focus now turns to a university experience involving Community Psychology students across Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. During this experience, students on both programmes make their final-year projects to develop a prevention resource aimed at young people at high risk of problematic cannabis use. Ultimately, this program not only teaches students the principles of Community Psychology but also give them an opportunity to put them into practice

    Spectatorship, Dead Bodies, and Medical Discourses in <i>Celestina</i>

    Get PDF
    This article examines the intersection of spectatorship, literary imagination, and medical discourse as they converge in Celestina.  The representation of dead bodies in this text projects Rojas’ work into early modernity as a literary forerunner of the anatomical discourse that scrutinizes the interior of the body and which would not emerge in the Iberian Peninsula until the 1540s. Drawing on Visual Studies, Body Studies, and Literary Studies, the present essay interrogates the notion of the gaze and the representation of cadavers in Celestina as a transgressive narrative that in 1499 tests the boundaries between real and metaphorical anatomies. From this perspective, Rojas’ literary imagination vis à vis the shift from a medieval to a pre-modern medical gaze inform a post-medieval understanding of the concept of the dead body at the dawn of modernity in Iberia

    A New Method for Attributing Changes in Life Expectancy to Various Causes of Death, with Application to the United States

    Get PDF
    This article focuses on decomposition of changes in life expectancy by cause of death. We propose an alternative to Arriaga\u27s (1984) method for performing such decompositions. We apply our method to changes in life expectancy in the United States between 1970 and 2000 and compare results to those produced using Arriaga\u27s formulation. The major difference between the approaches pertains to diseases prominent at older ages such as cardiovascular disease. For applications where causes of death are the central focus, our technique appears to have a modest advantage because of its conceptual clarity and attractive byproducts in the form of cause-deleted life tables
