    El propósito de esta investigación fue determinar el impacto del uso de redes sociales como Facebook y WhatsApp en el acceso a la justicia, en cuanto a consultas de depósitos judiciales electrónicos en el Módulo Penal de la Corte Superior de Justicia del Santa. La metodología a aplicarse ha sido de tipo descriptiva mientras que la población estuvo compuesta por 5000 demandantes del Módulo Penal y se aplicó a una muestra de 177 personas justiciables (agraviados). Posterior a ello se hizo uso de la técnica de cuestionario, se utilizaron tablas y gráficos para analizar los resultados, las técnicas para la obtención de datos fueron validada por expertos. Se conoció que el impacto es positivo ya que se mejoraría significativamente la atención a los usuarios del módulo de justicia en cuanto a los tiempos de entrega de información y depósitos realizados, además de el aumento del nivel de satisfacción del usuario y su accesibilidad a la justicia. Se tuvo como resultado que la mayoría de las personas estarían de acuerdo con que se haga esta innovación, pues tomaría menos tiempo y se aligerarían los trámitesTesi

    El clima laboral como factor determinante en el desempeño de los trabajadore de la empresa Empaque SAC. en la ciudad de Chimbote - 2010

    En la actualidad el clima laboral es un elemento de relevada importancia, es una ortaleza que encamina a las organizaciones a la excelencia, hacia el éxito por ello es necesario tener presente que cuando una persona asiste a un trabajo, lleva consigo diariamente una serie de ideas preconcebidas sobre si mismo, quien es, que se merece y que es capaz de realizar, hacia a donde debe marchar la empresa, etc. El clima laboral está determinado por la percepción que tengan los trabajadores de los elementos culturales, esto abarca el sentir y la manera de reaccionar de las personas frente a las características y calidad del clima laboral El desarrollo del clima laboral permite a los integrantes de la institución ciertas conductas e inhiben otras. Una cultura laboral abierta y humana alienta la participación y conducta madura de todos los miembros, sí las personas se comprometen y son responsables, se debe a que la cultura laboral se lo permite. Partiendo de estas afirmaciones pretendemos orientar, fundamentar y sustentar nuestra investigación, destacando la importancia del clima laboral como vehículo que conduce la organización hacia el éxito, específicamente aplicado en la empresa Empaques SAC

    Altres ajuts: This work was co-finaced by the European Development Regional Fund, "A way to achieve Europe" ERDF; the Cellex Foundation; and "la Caixa" Banking Foundation (LCF/PR/PR15/ 11100003).Human tumors show altered patterns of protein isoforms that can be related to the dysregulation of messenger RNA alternative splicing also observed in transformed cells. Although somatic mutations in core spliceosome components and their associated factors have been described in some cases, almost nothing is known about the contribution of distorted epigenetic patterns to aberrant splicing. Herein, we show that the splicing RNA-binding protein CELF2 is targeted by promoter hypermethylation-associated transcriptional silencing in human cancer. Focusing on the context of breast cancer, we also demonstrate that CELF2 restoration has growth-inhibitory effects and that its epigenetic loss induces an aberrant downstream pattern of alternative splicing, affecting key genes in breast cancer biology such as the autophagy factor ULK1 and the apoptotic protein CARD10. Furthermore, the presence of CELF2 hypermethylation in the clinical setting is associated with shorter overall survival of the breast cancer patients carrying this epigenetic lesion

    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Chagas disease transmission risk is a function of the presence of triatomines in domestic habitats. <it>Rhodnius ecuadoriensis </it>is one of the main vectors implicated in transmission of <it>Trypanosoma cruzi </it>in Ecuador. This triatomine species is present in domestic, peridomestic and sylvatic habitats in the country. To determine the distribution of sylvatic populations of <it>R. ecuadoriensis </it>and the factors related to this distribution, triatomine searches were conducted between 2005 and 2009 in southern Ecuador.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Manual triatomine searches were conducted by skilled bug collectors in 23 communities. Sylvatic searched sites were selected by a) directed sampling, where microhabitats were selected by the searchers and b) random sampling, where sampling points where randomly generated. Domiciliary triatomine searches were conducted using the one man-hour method. Natural trypanosome infection was determined by microscopic examination and PCR. Generalized linear models were used to test the effect of environmental factors on the presence of sylvatic triatomines.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>In total, 1,923 sylvatic individuals were collected representing a sampling effort of 751 man-hours. Collected sylvatic triatomines were associated with mammal and bird nests. The 1,219 sampled nests presented an infestation index of 11.9%, a crowding of 13 bugs per infested nest, and a colonization of 80% of the nests. Triatomine abundance was significantly higher in squirrel (<it>Sciurus stramineus</it>) nests located above five meters from ground level and close to the houses. In addition, 8.5% of the 820 examined houses in the same localities were infested with triatomines. There was a significant correlation between <it>R. ecuadoriensis </it>infestation rates found in sylvatic and synanthropic environments within communities (<it>p </it>= 0.012). Parasitological analysis revealed that 64.7% and 15.7% of the sylvatic bugs examined (n = 300) were infected with <it>Trypanosoma cruzi </it>and <it>T. rangeli </it>respectively, and 8% of the bugs presented mixed infections.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>The wide distribution of sylvatic <it>R. ecuadoriensis </it>populations may jeopardize the effectiveness of control campaigns conducted to eliminate domestic populations of this species. Also, the high <it>T. cruzi </it>infection rates found in sylvatic <it>R. ecuadoriensis </it>populations in southern Ecuador could constitute a risk for house re-infestation and persistent long-term Chagas disease transmission in the region.</p

    Limitations of selective deltamethrin application for triatomine control in central coastal Ecuador

    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>This year-long study evaluated the effectiveness of a strategy involving selective deltamethrin spraying and community education for control of Chagas disease vectors in domestic units located in rural communities of coastal Ecuador.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Surveys for triatomines revealed peridomestic infestation with <it>Rhodnius ecuadoriensis </it>and <it>Panstrongylus howardi</it>, with infestation indices remaining high during the study (13%, 17%, and 10%, at initial, 6-month, and 12-month visits, respectively), which indicates a limitation of this strategy for triatomine population control. Infestation was found 6 and 12 months after spraying with deltamethrin. In addition, a large number of previously vector-free domestic units also were found infested at the 6- and 12-month surveys, which indicates new infestations by sylvatic triatomines. The predominance of young nymphs and adults suggests new infestation events, likely from sylvatic foci. In addition, infection with <it>Trypanosoma cruzi </it>was found in 65%, 21% and 29% at initial, 6-month and 12-month visits, respectively. All parasites isolated (n = 20) were identified as TcI.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>New vector control strategies need to be devised and evaluated for reduction of <it>T. cruzi </it>transmission in this region.</p
