Redes sociales en las organizaciones

Las redes sociales siempre han existido, su principal manifestación se da cuando nos relacionamos entre familiares, amigos y contactos de trabajo; es la manera en que convivimos como seres sociales. Sin embargo, recientemente dichas redes tienen un nuevo aliado: la tecnología. Las redes sociales tecnológicas o virtuales, como algunos les han llamado, han impulsado con gran velocidad su utilización. Si bien antes nos relacionábamos frecuentemente de manera personal, hoy lo hacemos a diario y podríamos decir que minuto a minuto con amigos, colegas y clientes con el apoyo de la tecnología. A pesar de que vemos con asiduidad el uso de las redes sociales en nuestra vida diaria, muy poco sabemos de ellas, o mejor dicho tenemos una información escasa y en ocasiones equivocada sobre ellas

Gastropods as intermediate hosts of angiostrongylus spp: In the americas. Bioecological characteristics and geographical distribution

BACKGROUND Intermediate hosts are key organisms in maintaining parasite life cycles, because they can act as amplifiers in the transmission from natural reservoirs to humans. One of the most important groups of intermediate hosts for zoonotic nematode infections are gastropods,slugs and snails. These are essential organisms in the larval development of Angiostrongylus species. OBJECTIVES The objective of this paper is to review reports of Angiostrongylus spp. in naturally infected gastropods from the Americas, taking into account the diagnostic methods used in their identification, to be able to provide more accurate list of their intermediate hosts. We also discuss the factors that aid the dispersion of Angiostrongylus spp. in the Americas. METHODS This study reviews scientific publications and book sections on Angiostrongylus spp. in the Americas, including original works assessing larvae of Angiostrongylus in intermediate hosts. The eligible reports were classified accordingly to their geographical location, year of first record, and the larvae identification methodologies used. Digital repositories were used for the search. The bioecological characteristics of the main intermediate hosts are summarised. FINDINGS A total of 29 gastropod species that are naturally infected with Angiostrongylus spp. have been reported as intermediate hosts, 16 of which are land snails, two are freshwater snails, and 11 land slugs. MAIN CONCLUSIONS This study highlights the importance of integrative studies, analysing both the etiological agent and its transmission dynamic in the environment, the biological and ecological characteristics of the hosts, and the impact on host populations. It is necessary to increase interdisciplinary studies to determine the potential epidemiological health risk of angiostrongyliasis in the Americas, and thus be able to establish prevention, monitoring and contingency strategies in the region.Fil: Valente, Romina.

Acreditacion internacional y evaluación de la pertinencia local de las maestrías en ingeniería de proyectos

Los modelos de acreditación en el contexto internacional evalúan principalmente resultados de aprendizaje y la capacidad de los programas de maestría en ingeniería de proyectos para lograr los objetivos educativos que declaran en su misión. Sin embargo, no se garantiza que esos objetivos y por tanto los resultados, satisfagan necesidades reales del entorno nacional o regional, un aspecto esencial en los países en vías de desarrollo. El objetivo de la presente comunicación es sustentar la importancia de la evaluación de la pertinencia de estos programas y hacer un análisis de los principales modelos de garantía de la calidad y organismos de acreditación para conocer la forma en que se evalúa o no la pertinencia de los programas. Se encontró que, en un contexto económico de libre mercado, de internacionalización de la educación y movilidad, la acreditación de las maestrías sigue un modelo de acreditación internacional y no se cuenta en la mayoría de los casos con criterios e indicadores para evaluar la pertinencia. Sin embargo existen, dos modelos de acreditación o certificación que garantizan que un programa de maestría en ingeniería de proyectos sea pertinente localmente: el proyecto REG de AEIPRO y el proyecto europeo EUR-ACE

Local relevancy evaluation in the accreditation bodies for engineering master's programs

Accreditation models in the international context mainly consider the evaluation of learning outcomes and the ability of programs (or higher education institutions) to achieve the educational objectives stated in their mission. However, it is not clear if these objectives and therefore their outcomes satisfy real national and regional needs, a critical point in engineering master's programs, especially in developing countries. The aim of this paper is to study the importance of the local relevancy evaluation of these programs and to analyze the main models of quality assurance and accreditation bodies of USA, Europe and Latin America, in order to ascertain whether the relevancy is evaluated or not. After a literature review, we found that in a free-market economic context and international education, the accreditation of master’s programs follows an international accreditation model, and doesn´t take in account in most cases criteria and indicators for local relevancy. It concludes that it is necessary both, international accreditation to ensure the effectiveness of the program (achievement of learning outcomes) and the national accreditation through which it could ensure local relevancy of programs, for which we are giving some indicators

Extreme temperature events analyzed with Fast Fourier Transform

Extreme weather and climate events have received increased attention in the last few years, due to the often large loss of agriculture business and exponentially increasing costs associated with them and insurance planning. This increased attention raises the question as to whether extreme weather and climate events are truly increasing, whether this is only a perceived increase exacerbated by enhanced media coverage, or both. There are a number of ways extreme climate events can be defined, such as extreme daily temperatures, extreme daily rainfall amounts, and large areas experiencing unusually warm monthly temperatures, among others. In this study, we will focus our attention in frost and heatstroke events measuring it as the number of days under 0 ºC and number of days with daily maximum over 30ºC monthly respectively. We have studied the trends in these extreme events applying a Fast Fourier Transform to the series to clarify the tendency. Lack of long-term climate data suitable for analysis of extremes is the single biggest obstacle to quantifying whether extreme events have changed over the twentieth century, including high temporal and spatial resolution observations of temperatures. However, several series have been grouped in different ways: chosen the longest series independently, by provinces, by main watersheds and altitude. On the other hand, synthetic series generated by Luna and Balairón (AEMet) were also analyzed. The results obtained by different pooling data are discussed concluding the difficulties to assess the extreme events tendencies and high regional variation in the trends

Analysis of Hail and Temperature Series for Peninsular Spain

Hail is a serious concern for agriculture on the Iberian Peninsula. Hailstorms affect crop yield and/or quality to a degree that depends on the crop species and the phenological time. In Europe, Spain is one of the countries that experience relatively high agricultural losses related to hailstorms. It is of high interest to study models that can support calculations of the probabilities of economic losses due to hail damage and of the tendency over time for such losses. Some studies developed in France and the Netherdlands show that the summer mean temperature was highly correlated with a yearly hail severity index developed from hailrelated parameters obtained for insurance purposes. Meanwhile, other studies in the USA point out that a highly significant correlation between both is not possible to find due to high climatic variability. The aim of this work is to test the correlation between average minimum temperatures and hail damage intensity over the Spanish Iberian Peninsula. With this purpose, correlation analyses on both variables were performed for the 47 Spanish provinces (as individuals and single set) and for all crops and four individual crops: grapes, wheat, barley and winter grains. Suitable crop insurance data are available from 1981 until 2007 and based on this period, temperature data were obtained. This study does not confirm the results previously obtained for France and the Netherlands that relate observed hail damage to the average minimum temperature. The reason for this difference and the nature of the cases observed are discussed
