In the countries of southern Europe, the economic adjustment policies being applied are causing a progressive weakening of the museological action in its various forms. Questioned within the transformation process involving a profound change of the management models and of the prevailing values, museums seek a Sustainable Museology. In this context, new museological formulas emerge associating sustainability to social creativity and to valorization of diversity. This is the case of the Costume Museum in São Brás de Alportel (MuT), in the Algarve, and its "Museology on layers". A model based on shared management, taking as its starting point a deep knowledge of the territory, the collective construction of senses and local cultural meanings, and the reframing of ancestral knowledge, with the objective of contributing to an equitable development. In this paper we present the structure, the method and the results of one of the reference projects: Photography, memory and identity (FMId). In this case, a contrastive analysis between the collaborative research and the cartography of meanings associated with pictures of each family is performed. This exercise of memorial archaeology leads to decoding diverse segments of local culture. Its resonances reach every one of the museological functions and processes of MuT, but also each of the families involved in the project, have now a current account of memory in their hometown Museum.  Key-words: Museology on layers; photography; cartography; participation.Nos países do sul da Europa as políticas de ajustamento socioeconómico que se vêm aplicando estão a traduzir-se num enfraquecimento progressivo da acção museal nas suas diversas formas. Questionados no âmbito dum processo de transformação que envolve uma profunda alteração dos modelos de gestão e dos valores vigentes, os museus procuram agora uma Museologia Sustentável. Neste contexto emergem novas fórmulas museológicas que associam a sustentabilidade à criatividade social e à valorização da diversidade. Este é o caso do Museu do Trajo em São Brás de Alportel (MuT), no Algarve, e da sua “Museologia em camadas”. Um modelo que assenta na gestão partilhada, tomando como ponto de partida o conhecimento profundo do território, a construção colectiva de sentidos culturais, e a resignificação de saberes ancestrais com o objectivo de contribuir para um desenvolvimento equitativo. Neste artigo apresentamos a estrutura, o método e os resultados de um dos seus projectos de referência: Fotografia, Memória e Identidade (FMId). Cruzando a investigação colaborativa com a cartografia de sentidos associados às fotografias de cada família, FMId baseia-se no exercício regular de uma arqueologia memorial que desemboca na descodificação de diversos segmentos da cultura local. As suas ressonâncias deixam marca nos restantes processos e funções museológicas, mas também em cada uma das famílias envolvidas no projecto, que agora possui uma conta corrente da memória no Museu da sua terra.

O MINOM-Portugal na museologia portuguesa contemporânea

The MINOM – International Movement for a New Museology is, in Portugal, an example of associative longevity, of critical mass aggregation and of inspiring reflection for museum practice and museological theory.It is a critical Movement with a social base and territorial impact, reasoned on the relationship with Social Museology and Sociomuseology, which are part of its basic philosophy and characteristics.In a process of self-criticism and in an attempt to overcome the immobility of the Portuguese associative movement, MINOM-Portugal recently defined its action strategies to accompany the 21st century social changes and the consequent adaptation needs of museology and museums. Key words: Social Museology; sociomuseology; associativismO MINOM – Movimento Internacional para uma Nova Museologia constitui, em Portugal, um exemplo de longevidade associativa, de agregação de massa crítica e de reflexão inspiradora para a prática museal e a teoria museológica.Movimento crítico de base social e de impacto territorial fundamenta-se na relação com a Museologia Social e a Sociomuseologia, que fazem parte da sua filosofia de base e características.Num processo de autocrítica e tentativa de superação do imobilismo do movimento associativo português, o MINOM-Portugal definiu recentemente as suas estratégias de ação, para acompanhar as mudanças da sociedade do século XXI e as consequentes necessidades de adaptação da museologia e dos museus.

Modelo prolab: Del Mantaro, propuesta para promover el desarrollo de los pequeños productores de papa de Junín

Del Mantaro es una solución que se presenta para atender la problemática de los pequeños productores de papa del departamento de Junín, quienes reciben ingresos muy por debajo del precio promedio nacional de S/0.94 por Kg por la venta de sus productos (Minagri, 2020). Para poder lograrlo, Del Mantaro implementará una planta de papas prefritas congeladas, trabajando directamente sin intermediarios con los pequeños agricultores como proveedores de papa, ofreciéndoles un pago justo y una alianza estratégica a largo plazo permitiendo a ambas partes beneficiarse. Por otro lado, la solución que brinda Del Mantaro encaja perfectamente con las necesidades de las pequeñas y medianas pollerías independientes de Lima Norte, ya que en la actualidad estas empresas tienen problemas con el control de stock y abastecimiento eficiente de sus papas para fritura, por lo que Del Mantaro les ofrece un producto de mejor calidad y mayor durabilidad que los proveedores informales locales y un precio más competitivo que los grandes importadores del país. Para comprobar que Del Mantaro podrá ser un emprendimiento exitoso, se validó que éste sea deseable a través de una encuesta a los encargados de las pollerías, dando un resultado de disposición a la compra del 53% de los encuestados; de igual forma, se testeó la factibilidad operativa y del plan de marketing, obteniendo como resultados positivos un margen bruto mayor al 50% para el primer caso; y una rentabilidad de 4.7 veces por cada sol invertido en el plan de mercadeo. Adicionalmente, se probó que el proyecto es viable al realizar simulaciones Montecarlo que mostraban que la probabilidad de obtener un VAN menor de S/ 3,000,000 tan solo es de 12.76%. Finalmente, se concluye que Del Mantaro es un negocio rentable, ya que del análisis financiero se obtiene un VAN de S/ 3,684,419 y una TIR de 20%; además de ser una solución sostenible por impactar en las ODS 1; 8 y 9; y obtener un VAN Social de S/ 3,111,068.Del Mantaro is a solution that is presented to address the problem of small potato producers in the department of Junín, who obtain income below the national average price of S/ 0.94 per Kilo for the sale of their products (Minagri, 2020). To achieve this, Del Mantaro will implement a frozen pre-fried potato plant and will work directly and without intermediaries with small farmers as potato suppliers, offering them a fair payment and a long-term strategic alliance that allows both parties to benefit. On the other hand, the product offered by Del Mantaro is a solution that fits perfectly with the needs of small and medium-sized independent pollerias in Lima Norte, since these companies currently have problems with stock control and efficient supply of their potatoes, therefore, Del Mantaro offers a product of better quality and greater durability than local informal suppliers and a more competitive price than the main importers of Peru. In order to confirm that Del Mantaro could be a successful enterprise, it was validated that it is desirable through a survey for the pollerias managers, giving a result of the willingness to buy of 53% of the respondents; In the same way, the operational feasibility and the marketing plan were tested, obtaining as positive results a gross margin greater than 50% for the first case; and a return of 4.7 times for each dollar invested in the marketing plan. Additionally, it was proved that the project is viable by performing Montecarlo simulations that showed that the probability of obtaining an NPV of less than US$750,000 is only 12.76In conclusion, Del Mantaro is a profitable business since an NPV of US$ 921,104 and an IRR of 20% is obtained from the financial analysis; In addition to being a sustainable solution for impacting on SDG 1; 8 and 9; and obtain a Social VAN of US$ 777,767

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat
