Análisis de las veedurías ciudadanas e indicadores de gestión como mecanismo de control social efectivos en la lucha contra la corrupción en la ciudad de Ibagué

Lista de Graficas Grafica 1. Ruta de Evaluación de la Gestión Pública Grafica 2. Diagrama de la Red Institucional de Apoyo a las Veedurías CiudadanasSiendo Colombia un Estado social de derecho, democrático, participativo y pluralista, permite a sus ciudadanos intervenir en las decisiones y dinámicas del Estado concediendo dentro de los mecanismos de participación diferentes formas de agrupación que permiten realizar el seguimiento y control de sus derechos fundamentales y el buen ejercicio de la función pública, seguimiento que contempla la Constitución Política en su artículo 103, así: …El Estado contribuirá a la organización, promoción y capacitación de las asociaciones profesionales, cívicas, sindicales, comunitarias, juveniles, benéficas o de utilidad común no gubernamentales, sin detrimento de su autonomía con el objeto de que constituyan mecanismos democráticos de representación en las diferentes instancias de participación, concertación, control y vigilancia de la gestión pública que se establezcan… (Constitución Politica, 1991) Desde este marco nacen las Veedurías Ciudadanas, como un mecanismo de participación que permite el ejercicio de vigilancia y control social de las acciones del gobierno encaminadas al bienestar general y el buen uso de los recursos públicos destinados para dinamizar el desarrollo social en cumplimiento de los fines esenciales del Estado. Es de ahí, que como análisis a este mecanismo de participación se pretende revisar inicialmente su contexto normativo, con el fin de poder estudiar la actividad veedora de estos mecanismos de control social en la ciudad de Ibagué, a fin de determinar su impacto positivo o negativo en su lucha contra la corrupción. Así mismo analizar los indicadores de gestión que brindan un panorama esencial en el comportamiento de la gestión pública actual.Colombia being a social State of law, democratic, participatory and pluralist, it allows its citizens to intervene in the decisions and dynamics of the State, granting within the participation mechanisms different forms of grouping that allow monitoring and control of their fundamental rights and the good exercise of the public function, monitoring provided for in the Political Constitution in its article 103, as follows: …The State will contribute to the organization, promotion and training of professional, civic, union, community, youth, charitable or non-governmental associations of common utility, without detriment to their autonomy in order that they constitute democratic mechanisms of representation in the different instances of participation, agreement, control and surveillance of public management that are established ... (Political Constitution, 1991) From this framework, the Citizen Oversight Offices are born, as a participation mechanism that allows the exercise of surveillance and social control of government actions aimed at the general welfare and the proper use of public resources that are destined to stimulate social development in compliance with the essential purposes of the State. This is why, as an analysis of this participation mechanism, it is intended to initially review its regulatory context, in order to be able to study the monitoring activity of these social control mechanisms in the city of Ibague, in order to determine their positive or negative impact in their fight against corruption. Likewise, analyze the management indicators that provide an essential overview of the behavior of current public management

Effect of Epoxidized and Maleinized Corn Oil on Properties of Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Blend

[EN] The present work analyzes the influence of modified, epoxidized and maleinized corn oil as a plasticizing and/or compatibilizing agent in the PLA¿PHB blend (75% PLA and 25% PHB wt.%). The chemical modification processes of corn oil were successfully carried out and different quantities were used, between 0 and 10% wt.%. The different blends obtained were characterized by thermal, mechanical, morphological, and disintegration tests under composting conditions. It was observed that to achieve the same plasticizing effect, less maleinized corn oil (MCO) is needed than epoxidized corn oil (ECO). Both oils improve the ductile properties of the PLA¿PHB blend, such as elongation at break and impact absorb energy, however, the strength properties decrease. The ones that show the highest ductility values are those that contain 10% ECO and 5% MCO, improving the elongation of the break of the PLA¿PHB blend by more than 400% and by more than 800% for the sample PLA.This work was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation, NANOCIRCOIL (PID2021-123753NA-C33)Sempere-Torregrosa, J.; Ferri, J.; Rosa-Ramírez, HDL.; Pavón-Vargas, CP.; Samper, M.

Genes associated with metabolic syndrome predict disease-free survival in stage II colorectal cancer patients. A novel link between metabolic dysregulation and colorectal cancer

Producción CientíficaStudies have recently suggested that metabolic syndrome and its components increase the risk of colorectal cancer. Both diseases are increasing in most countries, and the genetic association between them has not been fully elucidated. The objective of this study was to assess the association between genetic risk factors of metabolic syndrome or related conditions (obesity, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus type 2) and clinical outcome in stage II colorectal cancer patients. Expression levels of several genes related to metabolic syndrome and associated alterations were analysed by real-time qPCR in two equivalent but independent sets of stage II colorectal cancer patients. Using logistic regression models and cross-validation analysis with all tumour samples, we developed a metabolic syndrome-related gene expression profile to predict clinical outcome in stage II colorectal cancer patients. The results showed that a gene expression profile constituted by genes previously related to metabolic syndrome was significantly associated with clinical outcome of stage II colorectal cancer patients. This metabolic profile was able to identify patients with a low risk and high risk of relapse. Its predictive value was validated using an independent set of stage II colorectal cancer patients. The identification of a set of genes related to metabolic syndrome that predict survival in intermediate-stage colorectal cancer patients allows delineation of a high-risk group that may benefit from adjuvant therapy and avoid the toxic and unnecessary chemotherapy in patients classified as low risk. Our results also confirm the linkage between.Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades (AGL2010-21565, RyC 2008-03734, IPT-2011-1248-060000),y la Comunidad de Madrid (ALIBIRD, S2009/AGR-1469

Gender, Marital Status, and Children as Risk Factors for Burnout in Nurses: A Meta-Analytic Study

The correlation between the burnout syndrome and sociodemographic variables in nursing professionals has been widely studied though research results are contradictory. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of gender, marital status, and children on the dimensions of the burnout syndrome (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment) in nursing professionals, as measured with the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The search was performed in May 2018 in the next databases: CINAHL, CUIDEN, Dialnet, Psicodoc, ProQuest Platform, OVID Platform, and Scopus with the search equation (“Maslach Burnout Inventory” OR “MBI”) AND “nurs*”, without using any search restriction. The sample was n = 78 studies: 57 studies for gender; 32 for marital status; 13 for having children. A statistically significant relation between depersonalization and gender (r = 0.078), marital status (r = 0.047), and children (r = 0.053) was found. A significant relation was also found between emotional exhaustion and children (r = 0.048). The results showed that being male, being single or divorced, and not having children were related to the highest levels of burnout in nurses. Moreover, these relations could be accentuated by the influence of moderator variables (age, seniority, job satisfaction, etc.), which, in combination with the previously mentioned significant relations, should be evaluated in the design burnout risk profiles for nursing professionals.This work was funded by the Excellence Research Project P11HUM-7771 and the Research Project mP_BS_6

Reducción de trazas de materia orgánica en agua potable mediante la adsorción con Zeolita.//Reduction of organic matter traces in drinking water through adsorption with zeolite

El objetivo de esta investigación fue la reducción de las trazas de materia orgánica en el agua potable por medio del uso de zeolita natural, zeolita activada y la comparación con la eficiencia de la adsorción del carbón activado. Se utilizó agua suministrada por la compañía AGUAPEN  E.P. y materiales adsorbentes zeolita natural, zeolita activada y carbón activado. La zeolita se activó térmicamente a 600ªC. Se realizaron pruebas en columnas de adsorción a escala (RSSCT – Rapid Small-Scale Column Test) para carbón activado granular (GAC) de acuerdo a la norma ASTM 6586 para determinar la eficiencia de la adsorción de las trazas de materia orgánica en el agua potable. Se determinó la eficiencia en base al parámetro de carbono orgánico total en muestras simple del afluente y efluente del agua tratada cada 3 horas durante 24 horas. El incremento de la presión de trabajo evidencia el punto de ruptura o colmatación del adsorbente. La concentración del Carbón Orgánico Total (COT) se determinó mediante el análisis de la combustión de la muestra con el detector infrarrojo no dispersivo de dióxido de carbono (CO2). Los resultados mostraron reducción de materia orgánica con el uso de zeolita natural y zeolita activada, con respecto al carbón activado.AbstractThe objective of this research was the reduction of organic matter traces in drinking water through the use of natural and activated zeolite, and the comparison with the efficiency of activated carbon adsorption. Water supplied by the company AGUAPEN E.P. was used, and adsorbent materials as natural zeolite, activated zeolite and activated carbon were utilized. The zeolite was thermally activated at 600 ° C. Tests were performed on scale adsorption columns (RSSCT - Rapid Small Scale Column Test) for Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) according to ASTM 6586 to determine the efficiency of the adsorption of traces of organic matter in drinking water. Efficiency was determined based on the total organic carbon parameter in simple affluent and effluent samples of treated water every 3 hours during 24 hours. The increase in working pressure shows the point of rupture or clogging of the adsorbent. The concentration of Total Organic Carbon (TOC) was determined by analyzing the sample combustion with a non-dispersive infrared carbon dioxide (CO2) detector. The results showed the reduction of organic matter in natural zeolite and activated zeolite compared to activated carbon.
