Este documento, es una propuesta para contribuir con la incorporación de los principales compromisos expresados en las Convenciones Globales Ambientales, en los Planes de Desarrollo Municipal, no solo para una adecuada rendición de cuentas, sino porque se toma conciencia de su contribución al gestionar un desarrollo de la estrategia institucional más adecuada e integral

Desórdenes de la locomoción, a dos velocidades de paso, en pacientes con fibromialgia

El objetivo del presente estudio es analizar si hay diferencias en las variables espaciotemporales de locomoción entre las pacientes afectadas con fibromialgia (FM) y un grupo de mujeres sanas, analizadas a velocidad confortable y rápida. Se evaluaron a 55 mujeres con FM y 44 sanas. El análisis de la locomoción se realizó con una plataforma de presiones (GaitRite system) y los sujetos realizaron una prueba a velocidad confortable y otra a velocidad rápida. Diferencias significativas (p<0.001) fueron encontradas entre el grupo control y el grupo FM en las variables de velocidad, longitud de paso, cadencia, fase de apoyo monopodal, fase de apoyo bipodal, fase de oscilación y fase de apoyo en las dos condiciones analizadas. No encontramos diferencias significativas entre las pacientes con FM caminando rápido y el grupo control a velocidad confortable, excepto en la cadencia. Los parámetros de locomoción en mujeres con FM están severamente afectados al compararlo con el grupo control, debido a diversos factores como la bradicinesia, la falta de actividad física, el sobrepeso, la fatiga y el dolor, que junto con una menor fuerza isométrica de las extremidades inferiores, pueden ser las responsables de estas alteraciones en la locomoción y en el descenso de la calidad de vida de estas pacientes.The aim of the present study was to determine if there are differences in spatiotemporal parameters among patients affected by fibromyalgia (FM) and healthy subjects, assess at comfortable and quickly speed of locomotion. We studied 55 women with FM and 44 controls. Gait analysis was performed using an instrumented walkway for measurement of the kinematic parameters of gait (GAITRite system), and the subjects was assessment in two conditions, comfortable and fast gait speed. Significant differences (p<0.001) between FM and control groups were found in velocity, stride length, cadence, single support ratio, double support ratio, stance phase ratio, and swing phase ratio at both analysis conditions. There aren’t statistical differences between FM group walking at quick speed and control group walking at comfortable speed, except in cadence variable. Gait parameters of women affected by FM were severely impaired when compared to those of healthy women. Different factors such as lack of physical activity, bradikinesia, overweight, fatigue, and pain together with a lower isometric force in the legs can be responsible for the alterations in gait and poorer life quality of women with FM.Peer Reviewe

Gestión ambiental urbana en programas de vivienda popular; estudio de caso "Ciudadela Tokio", Pereira Risaralda

La Gestión Ambiental Urbana "GAU" en el municipio de Pereira es deficiente y aún más cuando se trata sobre proyectos de Vivienda de Interés Social; la falta de planeación, dirección, control, seguimiento y participación social, han obtenido resultados poco satisfactorios tanto en el corto, mediano y largo plazo. En tal sentido, se hace pertinente determinar criterios de sustentabilidad y hábitat que permitan generar una guía a la hora de formular proyectos urbanísticos prospectivos, con aceptación social y en el que se conciba el equilibrio ecosistémico.The Environmental Urban Management in Pereira is insufficient and it is even more when it deals with Social Housing projects; planning, direction, control, chase and social inclusion and participation needs, has got unsatisfactory results in the near and far future. In this way, it has pertinent determine sustainable and habitat criteria allow to generate a guide in the moment of formulating prospects urban projects, with social acceptation in which it is conceived the ecosystem balance

Potential Phytoremediator of Native Species in Soils Contaminated by Heavy Metals in the Garbage Dump Quitasol-Imponeda Abancay

Discarding waste in open spaces, commonly called dumps, is highly damaging to the environment. High concentrations of heavy metals are observed, which creates the need to carry out restoration processes in such places. The use of plants for the remediation of soils contaminated by heavy metals in the garbage dump, is a strategy. The work was carried out in the garbage dump of Quitasol-Imponeda de Abancay, with three native plant species. The objective was to evaluate the levels of contamination by the heavy metals: lead, cadmium, nickel, chromium and zinc in the waste matrix in root, stem and leaves. A complete factorial design was applied: three species and five treatments with heavy metals, each with two repetitions applied and in three selected plots (A, B, C). The results show that the highest accumulation of zinc, lead and cadmium was obtained in Amaranthus hybridus, with 23.03 parts per million in the root, 5.87 parts per million in the stem and 8.83 parts per million in the leaves, in plots two and three. In Brassica rapa, the highest values of accumulation were recorded for zinc, lead and cadmium in the roots, and showed a decrease in leaf growth and stem thickness. Amaranthus spinosus obtained higher values of zinc accumulation of 24.28 parts per million in the roots and in leaves, zinc 11.63 parts per million, lead 1.74 parts per million and cadmium 0.55 parts per million. It is concluded that the three native species present rapid growth, do not require chemical controls, with absorption of high levels of heavy metals, becoming an alternative for the restoration of the garbage dump, due to its high phytoremediation potential

Voces encontradas : mujeres profesionales diversas ante menores y violencia de género

Las diferentes profesionales que atienden a menores cuyas madres están expuestas a violencia de género cubren distintos roles desde sus respectivos marcos disciplinares. Es nuestro objetivo conocer las perspectivas que adoptan desde sus campos de intervención sobre la violencia de género a la que están expuestos los/as menores y cómo perciben su papel ante esta lacra, así como recoger sus perspectivas sobre las mejoras en la atención con menores. Esta investigación resulta importante para poner en valor los diferentes aportes multidisciplinares y desvelar los vacíos y las líneas de mejora. Para ello, realizamos un estudio cualitativo fenomenológico de corte narrativo con entrevistas a mujeres profesionales de diferentes disciplinas (enfermeras, abogadas y trabajadoras sociales) expertas en género y con trato con menores expuestos a violencia. Sus voces trazan un mapa de concepciones disciplinares y roles profesionales ante la violencia de género, así como una relación de actuaciones concretas con menores.The different professionals who attend to minor which mothers are exposed to domestic violence cover different roles since their disciplinary framework. Our objective is to know the perspectives which they adopt since their framework of intervention about domestic violence which minors are exposed and how they sense their role before this problem just like to pick their perspectives about the progress in the attention with minor. This investigation results important for put in value the different multidisciplinary contribution and to reveal if it possible gap and lines of progress. For it, we realise a qualitative phenomenological study of narrative line where we interview women of different disciplines (nurse, lawyer and social work) expert in gender and in contact whit minors who are exposed to domestic violence. Their voices trace a map of disciplinary conceptions and professional role before domestic violence just like a relation of specific action whit minors

New region urban networks in the Colombian Caribbean

The Caribbean region in Colombia has large land areas and low connectivity between urban centers, the study proposed a methodology of analysis of 10 major cities to validate a regional project called “Diamante Caribe-Santanderes”. The methodology was structured from 4 hubs and 11 indicators of urban analysis that was applied to each of the urban centers. From the mapping results of an image analysis of the various aspects of urban reality was obtained. This study was able to identify trends and potential of the territory and is accomplished propose a new political and administrative structure that integrates large unconnected areas. It also qualifies intervention projects in different scales for each local center, inter between municipal centers, and finally large territorial unions to consolidate a regional identity. The most important of the study is to propose within the categories of analysis systematic search of polyvalent interactions develop joint responses to the needs of communities at the same time elements of conservation measures and restoration of ecosystem dynamics of the environment. Finally, the study shows that under current legislation it is possible to create this new territorial entity, with cultural identity and articulated planning parameters under new regional organization of urban centers
