Factores asociados con mortalidad perioperatoria a 30 días en cirugía no cardiaca en Bogotá, Colombia

La identificación de factores de riesgo asociados a morbimortalidad perioperatoria permite tomar acciones para optimizar la condición de los pacientes previo a la cirugía, disminuyendo así la morbimortalidad perioperatoria. Nuestro objetivo es determinar los factores asociados con la mortalidad perioperatoria en nuestra población, identificando los pacientes con mayor riesgo de presentar un desenlace fatal.The identification of risk factors associated with perioperative morbidity and mortality allows us to take actions to optimize the condition of patients prior to surgery, thus reducing perioperative morbidity and mortality. Our objective is to determine the factors related to perioperative mortality in our population, identifying the patients with the highest risk of presenting a fatal outcome

A new era in the information for development.‘Planeta Futuro’ and ‘Desalambre’ Spanish cases

El artículo reflexiona sobre el momento actual de la información para el desarrollo a través de la experiencia de las secciones ‘Planeta Futuro’, del diario El País, y ‘Desalambre’, de eldiario.es. Secciones que nacen en un contexto de recorte en la ayuda española a la cooperación internacional al desarrollo sin precedentes. Una información especializada, joven en España, que ha venido evolucionando a la par que el movimiento vinculado a la solidaridad, la cooperación internacional y la lucha contra la pobreza. Los casos de estudio, por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas a sus responsables, evidencian la importancia y el peso de un periodismo especializado, adaptado a los nuevos cambios discursivos, tecnológicos y de interés del público por los temas relacionados con el desarrollo como son refugiados, cambio climático, gobernanza, etc. y que marcan los actuales retos globales que contribuirán a que este tipo de periodismo se consolide.The article reflects on the current state of information for world development through the experiences of the news sections ‘Planeta Futuro’ from El País) and ‘Desalambre’ from eldiario.es. Sections that they are born in a context of cut in the Spanish help to the international cooperation to the development without precedents. This specialized type of reporting, new in Spain, has evolved alongside the movements linked to solidarity, international cooperation and the fight against poverty. The case studies, through means of semi structured interviews, demonstrate the following: the importance and weight of specialized journalism adapted to new discursive, technological changes, and of public interest in topics such as refugees, climate change and governance etc. and that signify current global challenges which will ensure the development of this type of journalism

La respuesta comunicativa de las ONGD andaluzas con la campaña ’20 años del 0,7’ en el contexto de crisis de la cooperación internacional

El artículo analiza la respuesta comunicativa de la Coordinadora Andaluza de ONGD (CAONGD) con la campaña conmemorativa ’20 años del 0,7’ en el contexto de crisis de la cooperación internacional al desarrollo (2008-2015). Los resultados, tras la entrevista a responsables de la campaña y la celebración de un grupo de discusión, evidencian tres escenarios: el primero, el fracaso inicial de una estrategia convencional centrada en denunciar los efectos de los recortes en cooperación que no conectan con la ciudadanía; el segundo, tras un giro estratégico, apelando a la memoria colectiva y al recuerdo de las acampadas estatales que reivindicaron que se destinase el 0,7% del PIB a la cooperación al desarrollo; y el tercero, demostrando que el espacio comunicativo natural de las entidades es el que se articula desde los planteamientos de la comunicación para el cambio social

Planeta Futuro, Desalambre and 5W, the consolidation of a journalism specialized in development in Spain

La aparición y consolidación de experiencias como Planeta Futuro (El País), Desalambre (eldiario.es) y la Revista 5w (Colectivo 5W) evidencian la existencia de un periodismo especializado en desarrollo en un país con poca experiencia en este campo. Las razones, tras la realización de entrevistas semiestructuradas a las responsables de las secciones Lola Huete, Gabriela Sánchez y Marta Arias respectivamente, son tres: periodistas comprometidos e interesados por temas como la pobreza o las desigualdades; un público que se siente comunidad en la relación con el medio, y que exige información especializada; las posibilidades tecnológicas o nuevos modelos periodísticos.The emergence and consolidation of experiences as Planeta Futuro (El País), Desalambre (el diario.es) and Revista 5w (Colectivo 5w) demonstrate the existence of a journalism specialized in development, in a country with little experience in this field. The reasons, after the accomplishment of interviews semistructured to the persons in charge of the sections (Lola Huete, Gabriela Sánchez and Marta Arías respectively), are threefold: journalists committed and interested in issues dealing with poverty, inequalities and migration as challenges of the 21st century; a public, a community in relation to the environment, and which requires specialized quality information and technological possibilities to provide information more complete and attractive, or even new media models

Learning Sustainability with EPS@ISEP – Development of an Insectarium

8th International Symposium on Project Approaches in Engineering Education (PAEE)Sustainability plays a key role in EPS@ISEP programme - the European Project Semester programme at the School of Engineering of the Polytechnics of Porto. Not just the environmental, but also economical (marketing) and social (ethics) perspectives are explored by multicultural teams during this one semester capstone/internship programme. In 2015, a team of EPS@ISEP students choose to design and develop an insectarium to grow insects for reptile feeding. The team, after exploiting the topic, contemplated growing insects not only for animal feed, but also for human food. Their motivation resulted from the fact that insects, when compared with traditional sources of protein, are more sustainable, i.e., require considerably less resources per kg of protein. This approach, in the current Earth’s population growth scenario, contributes to minimise the resources required for meeting food needs. The main goal of the proposal was to raise the awareness of the participants regarding sustainable development while creating a functional, cost-effective, ecofriendly and attractive prototype. The team, driven by this multidisciplinary problem, performed: (i) a survey of competing products; (ii) a selection of the insect species to grow based on the study and comparison of the life cycle and habitat requirements of different species of insects; (iii) a marketing plan; (iv) a sustainability and an ethic and deontological analysis of the proposed solution; and (v) the design, assembling and testing of the prototype. Furthermore, the students also developed cross-cultural understanding, teamwork and communication skills. The project provided an excellent opportunity to foster the concept of sustainable development amongst the students

Acceptability of Clinical Trials on COVID-19 during Pregnancy among Pregnant Women and Healthcare Providers: A Qualitative Study.

Participation of pregnant women in clinical trials entails challenges mainly related to concerns about the risks for fetuses. We undertook a qualitative study from June to October 2020 to assess the acceptability of participating in COVID-19 clinical trials among pregnant women in Spain. Phenomenology and grounded theory were used as methodological approaches. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 24 pregnant women and six healthcare providers. Women were unsure if pregnancy was a risk factor to acquire the infection or to develop severe disease and expressed the limited information they had received, which led to uncertainties and emotional suffering. They had concerns regarding participation in clinical trials on COVID-19, regardless of the drug under study. Healthcare providers alluded to the importance of involving pregnant women’s relatives at the recruitment visit of the clinical trial. These findings may be useful to facilitate pregnant women’s participation in clinical trials.post-print599 K
