    Understand the effects of context-specific conditions on incentives, social interactions, and the likelihood of local organization is critical in supporting the sustainable management of collective tropical forests. In this vein, this study sought to analyze the causal relationships between factors in the context of the central rainforest of the Colombian Pacific that create barriers to local communities' cooperation in commercial logging management and control. The Socio-ecological Systems Analysis Framework was used and fed with information from a literature review and 24 interviews conducted with key informants in the area. We found that the mechanisms formally established for administering and managing collective forests have failed to encourage user cooperation and have ineffective control of free access to the increasingly scarce forest resource. We were able to identify and explain the causal importance of seven local context variables concerning the generation of disincentives to cooperation. The variables were: forest area extent, representative mechanisms in place, formulation and relevance of resource use and management regulations, appropriation by local institutions, timber trade intermediaries, low socioeconomic development, and multilevel forest management hierarchies. The results of this study hope also to help identify more effective strategies to directly involve local communities and engage them in the management and control of collective tropical forests.La comprensi贸n de los efectos de las condiciones espec铆ficas del contexto sobre los incentivos, las interacciones sociales y la probabilidad de la organizaci贸n local es fundamental para apoyar el manejo sostenible de los bosques tropicales colectivos. En este sentido, el prop贸sito de este estudio fue analizar las relaciones causales entre factores del contexto del bosque pluvial central del Pac铆fico colombiano que crean barreras a la cooperaci贸n de las comunidades locales en el manejo y control de la extracci贸n forestal comercial. Se utiliz贸 el Marco de An谩lisis de Sistemas Socioecol贸gicos (MSES) alimentado con informaci贸n proveniente de una revisi贸n de literatura y la aplicaci贸n de 24 entrevistas a informantes claves de la zona. Se encontr贸 que los mecanismos formalmente establecidos para la administraci贸n y manejo del bosque colectivo no han logrado alentar la cooperaci贸n de los usuarios y han sido poco eficaces en controlar el libre acceso al recurso forestal, que es cada vez m谩s escaso. Se logr贸 identificar y explicar la importancia causal de siete variables del contexto local en relaci贸n con la generaci贸n de desincentivos a la cooperaci贸n. Estas variables fueron: extensi贸n de las 谩reas de bosques, operaci贸n de los mecanismos de representaci贸n, formulaci贸n y pertinencia de los reglamentos de uso y manejo del recurso, apropiaci贸n de las instituciones locales, intermediarios del comercio de la madera, bajo desarrollo socioecon贸mico y manejo forestal en jerarqu铆as multinivel. Se espera que los resultados de este estudio tambi茅n ayuden a identificar estrategias m谩s efectivas para involucrar directamente a las comunidades locales y lograr su compromiso con el manejo y control de los bosques tropicales colectivos

    Design and baseline characteristics of the finerenone in reducing cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in diabetic kidney disease trial

    Background: Among people with diabetes, those with kidney disease have exceptionally high rates of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality and progression of their underlying kidney disease. Finerenone is a novel, nonsteroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist that has shown to reduce albuminuria in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) while revealing only a low risk of hyperkalemia. However, the effect of finerenone on CV and renal outcomes has not yet been investigated in long-term trials. Patients and Methods: The Finerenone in Reducing CV Mortality and Morbidity in Diabetic Kidney Disease (FIGARO-DKD) trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of finerenone compared to placebo at reducing clinically important CV and renal outcomes in T2D patients with CKD. FIGARO-DKD is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, event-driven trial running in 47 countries with an expected duration of approximately 6 years. FIGARO-DKD randomized 7,437 patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate >= 25 mL/min/1.73 m(2) and albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio >= 30 to <= 5,000 mg/g). The study has at least 90% power to detect a 20% reduction in the risk of the primary outcome (overall two-sided significance level alpha = 0.05), the composite of time to first occurrence of CV death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalization for heart failure. Conclusions: FIGARO-DKD will determine whether an optimally treated cohort of T2D patients with CKD at high risk of CV and renal events will experience cardiorenal benefits with the addition of finerenone to their treatment regimen. Trial Registration: EudraCT number: 2015-000950-39; ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02545049

    En las instituciones encargadas de adelantar proyectos de investigaci贸n, como es el caso de la universidad, debemos reflexionar sobre lo que hacemos y sus implicaciones, de tal forma que encontremos claves para propiciar, desde nuestros saberes, agentes dinamizadores que animen la discusi贸n, el debate y la comparaci贸n. Lo anterior con el enfoque de proponer caminos y soluciones para problemas actuales que nos aquejan como individuos. Las distintas b煤squedas que hacemos apuntan a contribuir a la construcci贸n de mejores sociedades, y la investigaci贸n es una valiosa herramienta con a que contamos para lograrlo. Es necesario entender la investigaci贸n como un agente que permite y propicia cambios.In the institutions in charge of carrying out research projects, such as the university, we must reflect on what we do and its implications, in such a way that we find keys to promote, from our knowledge, dynamic agents that encourage discussion, debate and the comparison.
