Menos oposición y más cooperación: Aportes para el fortalecimiento de la democracia

La ventaja cooperativa es una estrategia, que se funda en la privación de la oposición y que descubre la cooperación como la única forma posible de enfrentar las demandas de sustentabilidad que impone la sociedad democrática, permitiendo relaciones de mejor calidad con el entorno y construyendo contextos de confianza, que satisfacen las expectativas de todos los stakeholder de manera más óptima. Además, posibilita la creación de valor social y económico, esto es, incrementar la ventaja competitiva del mundo privado, aportar en la creación de riqueza, pero al mismo tiempo mitigar los efectos sociales indeseados que produce este tipo de generación de valor, incorporando otras dimensiones como la inclusión, la igualdad de oportunidades, la justicia social, la equidad organizacional, la participación deliberante, la transparencia y la meritocracia, en pos de una sociedad que profundiza y perfecciona su democracia.Cooperative advantage is a strategy based on the deprivation of opposition and on unveiling cooperation as the only possible way to face the demands of sustainability imposed by democratic society, allowing improved quality relationships with the environment, building trustworthy contexts, which meet the expectations of all stakeholders in a more optimal manner. Furthermore, it allows the creation of social and economic value, meaning increasing the competitive advantage of the private sector, contributing to the creation of wealth, but at the same time mitigate the unwilling social effects produced by this type of value generation, incorporating other dimensions such as: inclusion, equal opportunities, social justice, organizational equity, deliberative participation, transparency and meritocracy, towards a society that strengthens and improves its democracy.A vantagem cooperativa é uma estratégia, que funda-se na privação da oposição e que descobre a cooperação como a única forma possível de enfrentar as demandas de sustentabilidade que impõe a sociedade democrática, permitindo relações de melhor qualidade com o entorno e construindo contextos de confiança, que satisfazem as expectativas de todos os stakeholder de maneira mais ótima.

Observando las alianzas de colaboración entre organizaciones sin fines de lucro y organizaciones estatales chilenas

Situados en un progresivo traspaso de responsabilidades en la ejecución de los servicios sociales desde el Estado hacia actores no gubernamentales, aparece una demanda hacia el mismo Estado, el cual en lugar de simplemente declinar su labor, debiera de hecho expandir su regulación de modo de asegurar que la oferta social sea eficiente en satisfacer al ciudadano usuario en aquellos servicios prometidos por las políticas y programas sociales. Así mismo, la institucionalidad pública debiera reconocer las demandas del mundo privado para actuar articuladamente hacia fines comunes, que finalmente conduzcan a un horizonte de desarrollo de una sociedad más igualitaria. Este estudio da cuenta de las tensiones, reveladas por autoridades de servicios públicos que atienden personas vulnerables, en su relación de colaboración con OSFL (Organizaciones Sin Fines de Lucro), para alcanzar tal horizonte.Se situant dans un transfert progressif de responsabilités dans l’exécution des services sociaux de l’Etat vers les acteurs non-gouvernementaux, émerge une demande à l’égard du même Etat, lequel, au lieu de simplement décliner son travail, devrait étendre sa régulation de manière à garantir une offre sociale suffisante pour satisfaire le citoyen usager de ces services promis par les politiques et programmes sociaux. De même, l’insitutionnalité publique devrait reconnaitre les demandes du monde privé afin d’agir en articulant des objectifs communs qui conduiraient finalement à un horizon de développement d’une société plus égalitaire. Ce travail rend compte des tensions, révélées par des autorités de services publics en charge des personnes vulnérables, dans leur relation de collaboration avec les OSFL (Organisations à But-Non-Lucratif) afin d’atteindre cet objectif.The progressive transfer of responsibilities in social service implementation from state to nongovernmental actors, brings a demand to the same state, who instead of reducing its labor, should develop adequate mechanisms of regulation to ensure efficiency in social offer, in order to satisfy citizens demands in those public political commitments. Likewise, public institutions should recognize the demands from the private world to act articulated towards common goals, which ultimately would lead to a horizon of development of a more egalitarian society. This study reports on the tensions revealed by social services authorities serving vulnerable people, in regards to their collaborative relationship with Non Profit Organizations, in order to reach that horizon.A progressiva transferência de responsabilidades na implementação do serviço social do Estado para atores não-governamentais, traz uma demanda para o mesmo estado, que em vez de reduzir o seu trabalho, devem desenvolver mecanismos adequados de regulação para garantir a eficiência na oferta social, a fim de satisfazer as demandas dos cidadãos desses compromissos públicos políticos. Da mesma forma, as instituições públicas devem reconhecer as demandas do mundo particular para agir articulado com metas comuns, que em última análise, levariam a um horizonte de desenvolvimento de uma sociedade mais igualitária. Este estudo relata as tensões revelada por autoridades dos serviços sociais que atendem pessoas vulneráveis, no que diz respeito à sua relação de colaboração com organizações sem fins lucrativos, para chegar a esse horizonte

Habilidades cognitivas en niños víctimas de maltrato físico

The aim of the study was to characterize the cognitive skills of a group of school children who have been victims of physical abuse and to compare their performance with a group of non-abused children of the same age. Through a transversal design, we worked with a non-probabilistic sample for convenience of 40 children between 6 and 10 years old, enrolled in a public school in the city of Santa Marta, Colombia. Of these children, 20 have been identified as victims of physical abuse and 20 as non-abused. The results show that there are no significant differences between the two groups, however, children without maltreatment perform slightly better in most of the cognitive skills compared to the children with maltreatment. The implications of these results are discussed in terms of psychological intervention in school contexts, which is oriented towards the prevention of this phenomenon as one of the actions required to make effective a true education for peace in our country, from the promotion of a no-violence culture, especially towards children.El estudio realizado tuvo como objetivo caracterizar las habilidades cognitivas de un grupo de niños escolarizados que han sido víctimas de maltrato físico y comparar su desempeño con un grupo de niños no maltratados de la misma edad. Mediante un diseño transversal se trabajó con una muestra no probabilística por conveniencia de 40 niños entre 6 y 10 años, matriculados en una escuela pública en la ciudad de Santa Marta (Colombia). De ellos, 20 niños han sido identificados como víctimas de maltrato físico y 20 niños sin maltrato. Los resultados muestran que no hay diferencias significativas entre ambos grupos, sin embargo, los niños sin maltrato presentan un rendimiento ligeramente superior en la mayoría de las habilidades cognitivas estudiadas en comparación con los niños con maltrato. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados, en términos de la intervención psicológica en contextos escolares, que está orientada a la prevención de este fenómeno como una de las acciones que se requieren para hacer efectiva una verdadera educación para la paz en nuestro país: a partir de la promoción de una cultura de la no violencia, especialmente hacia los niños

Nursing education during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic: assessment of students’ satisfaction with e-Learning environment

The disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus led to the disruption of normality with respect to education, public healthcare and new technologies. Education is a fundamental pillar to increase the knowledge and morale of people. However, due to the lockdown implemented to protect the population from an infection of unknown aetiology, the education system decided to switch from face-to-face education to virtual education. This modality has affected the teaching–learning process in the Degree of Nursing, since its competencies and knowledge demand in-presence learning. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact that telematic education had on students of the Degree of Nursing who were studying in the final year of said degree, which involves their imminent entry into the labour market. We used the client satisfaction questionnaire of Bob Hayes to gather data and analyse the satisfaction level of the nursing students. As a result, a considerable amount of information was obtained about teaching, which shows the absence of practical activities and the lack of information about safety and protection measures related to the pandemic. Most educators themselves were struggling to understand the implications of the virus and implement appropriate safety measures, since there was quite a bit of conflicting information relating to the effectiveness of personal protective safety equipment and the lifespan of the virus on various media outside of the host. It is, therefore, not surprising that education for students in this regard was lacking. In general, most of the students showed dissatisfaction with the virtual education they received.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain in the successive pandemic waves on hemodialysis patients and healthcare personnel

(1) Background: The impact of SARS-CoV-2 has been variable over the time course of the pandemic and in different populations. The aim was to analyze the impact of COVID-19 infection in a known population of hemodialysis (HD) patients and professionals in Spain at different times of the pandemic. (2) Methods: We conducted an observational, descriptive study with a follow-up from 3 March 2020 to 23 April 2022 (776 days), using in average of 414 professionals and 1381 patients from 18 HD units in Spain. The data from the positive PCR or the rapid antigen detection test (RADT) subject were analyzed and segmented into six periods (waves). (3) Results: Of 703 positive COVID-19 tests, 524 were HD patients (74.5%), and 179 were HD professionals (25.5%). Overall, 38% of staff and 43% of patients were affected. Differences were observed in regard to incidence (21% vs. 13%), mortality (3.5% vs. 0%), and symptomatology between the patients and professionals and throughout the pandemic. (4) Conclusions: COVID-19 severity varied during different pandemic waves, with a greater impact seen in the first wave. HD professionals and patients had similar infection rates, but patients had higher mortality rates. Community transmission was the primary route of infection.This research received was founded by Fundación Renal Íñigo Álvarez de Toledo (FRIAT).

Search for CP violation in D+→ϕπ+ and D+s→K0Sπ+ decays

A search for CP violation in D + → ϕπ + decays is performed using data collected in 2011 by the LHCb experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1 at a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV. The CP -violating asymmetry is measured to be (−0.04 ± 0.14 ± 0.14)% for candidates with K − K + mass within 20 MeV/c 2 of the ϕ meson mass. A search for a CP -violating asymmetry that varies across the ϕ mass region of the D + → K − K + π + Dalitz plot is also performed, and no evidence for CP violation is found. In addition, the CP asymmetry in the D+s→K0Sπ+ decay is measured to be (0.61 ± 0.83 ± 0.14)%

Measurement of the Bs0→J/ψKS0B_s^0\to J/\psi K_S^0 branching fraction

The $B_s^0\to J/\psi K_S^0$ branching fraction is measured in a data sample corresponding to 0.41$fb^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the LHCb detector at the LHC. This channel is sensitive to the penguin contributions affecting the sin2$\beta$ measurement from $B^0\to J/\psi K_S^0$ The time-integrated branching fraction is measured to be $BF(B_s^0\to J/\psi K_S^0)=(1.83\pm0.28)\times10^{-5}$. This is the most precise measurement to date

Differential branching fraction and angular analysis of the decay B0→K∗0μ+μ−

The angular distribution and differential branching fraction of the decay B 0→ K ∗0 μ + μ − are studied using a data sample, collected by the LHCb experiment in pp collisions at s√=7 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.0 fb−1. Several angular observables are measured in bins of the dimuon invariant mass squared, q 2. A first measurement of the zero-crossing point of the forward-backward asymmetry of the dimuon system is also presented. The zero-crossing point is measured to be q20=4.9±0.9GeV2/c4 , where the uncertainty is the sum of statistical and systematic uncertainties. The results are consistent with the Standard Model predictions

Opposite-side flavour tagging of B mesons at the LHCb experiment

The calibration and performance of the oppositeside flavour tagging algorithms used for the measurements of time-dependent asymmetries at the LHCb experiment are described. The algorithms have been developed using simulated events and optimized and calibrated with B + →J/ψK +, B0 →J/ψK ∗0 and B0 →D ∗− μ + νμ decay modes with 0.37 fb−1 of data collected in pp collisions at √ s = 7 TeV during the 2011 physics run. The oppositeside tagging power is determined in the B + → J/ψK + channel to be (2.10 ± 0.08 ± 0.24) %, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic
