    Soil to Sky: Climate Solutions that Transform presents evidence of how grassroots climate solutions provide innovative and meaningful impact at the global scale. This report builds on the evidence and strategic recommendations that were published in 2019 in Soil to Sky: Climate Solutions that Work.

This report connects the dots between stories of change and global impact, demonstrating how grassroots climate leadership is already forging a more ecologically and socially just world

    La presente investigación tiene como propósito establecer las características actuales de la gestión de proyectos inmobiliarios en Lima que facilitarían la implementación de metodologías ágiles mediante el conocimiento de la situación actual de la gestión, así como también de sus etapas y procesos críticos, además de identificar la presencia de principios y valores ágiles. El estudio se sustenta en una serie de entrevistas de profundidad realizadas a especialistas del sector inmobiliario, para ello recurrimos al juicio experto de jefes y gerentes de proyectos en ejercicio para obtener una perspectiva precisa de la gestión y de la dirección de sus equipos. Se encontró en la muestra que la gestión de los especialistas se soporta sobre todo en el recurso humano y económico; y que está enfocada en el control de los plazos y control de flujos de dinero, elementos que afectan a la rentabilidad de un proyecto. Se identificó también que los entrevistados practican en cierta medida los valores y principios relacionados a las metodologías ágiles, no obstante, estos no guardan relación con el sector en el que se desenvuelven, el cargo y la profesión sino, en las buenas prácticas de la gestión. Finalmente, se recomienda aprovechar las características propias de la gestión para adoptar metodologías ágiles como SCRUM o KANBAN que se asemejan a la actual gestión pero que dan un marco de trabajo que refuerza e impulsa la práctica de principios y valores ágiles.The purpose of this research is to establish the current features of the real estate Project management in Lima to ease the agile methodology implementation through the existing management setup knowledge, as well as its critical stages and processes, in addition, identify agile principles and values evidence.

Also there is evidence that interviewees practice in some way the agile values and principles related to these methodologies, but those are not related to their busyness sector, position, profession, but rather to good management practices. Finally, it is recommended to take advantage of the management features to adopt agile methodologies such as Scrum or Kanban that are similar to existing management but that provide a framework that reinforces and promotes the agile principles and values practice

    Objective This study aimed to estimate the incidence of giant cell arteritis (GCA) in Spain and to analyse its clinical manifestations, and distribution by age group, sex, geographical area and season.Methods We included all patients diagnosed with GCA between 1 June 2013 and 29 March 2019 at 26 hospitals of the National Health System. They had to be aged ≥50 years and have at least one positive results in an objective diagnostic test (biopsy or imaging techniques), meet 3/5 of the 1990 American College of Rheumatology classification criteria or have a clinical diagnosis based on the expert opinion of the physician in charge. We calculated incidence rate using Poisson regression and assessed the influence of age, sex, geographical area and season.Results We identified 1675 cases of GCA with a mean age at diagnosis of 76.9±8.3 years. The annual incidence was estimated at 7.42 (95% CI 6.57 to 8.27) cases of GCA per 100 000 people ≥50 years with a peak for patients aged 80–84 years (23.06 (95% CI 20.89 to 25.4)). The incidence was greater in women (10.06 (95% CI 8.7 to 11.5)) than in men (4.83 (95% CI 3.8 to 5.9)). No significant differences were found between geographical distribution and incidence throughout the year (p=0.125). The phenotypes at diagnosis were cranial in 1091 patients, extracranial in 337 patients and mixed in 170 patients.Conclusions This is the first study to estimate the incidence of GCA in Spain at a national level. We found a predominance among women and during the ninth decade of life with no clear variability according to geographical area or seasons of the year
