Objective. Analyze health preparedness policies in Chile and identify their strengths and weaknesses. No other studies to date provide an analysis of the country's preparedness policies. Methods. A desk review and semi-structured interviews with experts in emergency preparedness and response were conducted to identify the regulatory framework, key actors, and the strengths and weaknesses of health preparedness policies. Results. The researchers identified 103 standards and interviewed seven preparedness experts. The reviewed standards and interviews show that Chile is in a transitional phase between the old National Civil Protection System and the new National Disaster Prevention and Response System. Only three standards were directly related to health, but the preparedness regulations provide for a multidisciplinary set of actors to address any threat. The experts gave a positive assessment of the Chilean system, although they agreed that certain weaknesses must be corrected. The country's main strength is its disaster response experience, along with its coordination mechanisms. The main shortcomings include risk communication, mitigation, preparedness and assessment, and human resources. Conclusions. Chile has a solid regulatory framework with an all-hazards approach and a set of multisectoral institutions. The new National Disaster Prevention and Response System must build on its strengths to correct the weaknesses that limit its emergency preparedness and response capacity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this special report is to present the advances in Latin America on regulation of the online sale of medical products and to offer guidance to national regulatory authorities (NRAs) on planning and implementing strategies to regulate and oversee the e-commerce of medical products. The regulatory advances and the programs and initiatives implemented in four Latin American countries to control the online sale of medical products are presented, including complementary reviews of the literature and reviews of e-commerce control programs of agencies of reference. Based on this review, the following strategies are proposed: strengthening the regulatory and policy framework; strengthening the capacity for oversight; collaboration with national and international authorities and other key players; and communication and awareness-raising with the community and health care professionals. Each of these strategies should be accompanied by specific actions that can serve as guidelines for NRAs in the Americas and in countries with similar contexts, to strengthen their regulatory frameworks and patient and consumer protections.

This article describes the importance of public-private partnerships (PPPs) and public-private coordination to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through the One Health approach. These partnerships are developed between governmental actors, private companies, and social organizations to build agendas, decision-making, and the management of projects of common interest. A case study from Colombia is presented. It describes examples of response from the public sector when the World Health Organization (WHO) reported a colistin resistance alert in 2016; from the animal protein production sector under an industry partnership for the rational use of antimicrobials; and, finally, from a public-private partnership in the swine sector, with governmental institutions and international cooperation, to take action to mitigate the risk of AMR. In Colombia, the establishment of partnerships with organizations representing agricultural producers has generated impactful actions such as strengthening ongoing communication channels between the public and private sectors; characterizing the conditions of the agricultural production chain; establishing mechanisms for consultation and validation of health policies related to AMR; obtaining a baseline of indicator pathogens and identification of possible flows of AMR spread; and, finally, achieving knowledge transfer and capacity-building with national and international experts, with actions to raise awareness about the problem of AMR and its impact on public health. The strategic model developed in Colombia through public-private collaboration can inspire other low- and middle-income countries to optimize their use of resources to obtain results that contribute to the national AMR mitigation plan.

Objective. Shed light on the experiences and determinants of young people's and adolescents' participation in formal participation mechanisms during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in Chile. Methods. Cross-sectional, descriptive study with a qualitative approach, within the constructivist research paradigm. Three focus groups were conducted with key informants: young people and adolescents who regularly participate in advisory councils of Chile's Ministry of Health (MINSAL). Content analysis was applied for theoretical and emerging categories in the study. The reports were transcribed and studied with data analysis and hermeneutics. This study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, between the months of March and November 2021. Results. During the pandemic, adolescents' and young people's experiences of health participation were affected; however, formal participation mechanisms such as advisory councils allowed for continuity. In this context and based on their experiences, young people and adolescents highlighted some factors that facilitated or limited their participation at three levels: individual, relational, and structural. They highlighted virtual communication, use of social networks, and digital health as excellent tools for the participation of young people and adolescents during the pandemic in Chile. Conclusion. The pandemic affected the participation mechanisms used by young people and adolescents in Chile; however, among the experiences highlighted by young people, aspects that facilitated participation emerged, such as virtual communication, digital health, and other strategies. At the same time, some gaps in health participation widened during this global health crisis, such as access mainly in rural populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

How to teach theory? It is one of the questions of the professors who teach the theoretical subjects of communication. The current paradigm shift in the reception of messages, based on immediacy, audiovisual and practicality issues, have left little space for reading, analysis and reflection on written texts that are the raw material for learning theory. Facing this reality, this essay aims to give some clues for teaching theory by exploring some didactic tools that have been useful to me in my 20 years of professional practice in the teaching field.

The violence that women must endure daily is a consequence of a system of oppression that underestimate them: patriarchy. From previous centuries until today we have been victims of the traditions that regulate our appearance, attitude and personality. They control our way of existence and, of course, the way we create relationships. If we even dare question or confront this, we are judged, shunned or, occasionally, eliminated. There are different ethical communicative strategies to be able to relate in a more peaceful way. Free love has feminism embedded, visible in its deconstructive and political approach against patriarchy. Glimpsing relational diversities will guide us on a path to freedom and peace so that women have a life free of violence within our love relationships. Feminist theory has guided us through strategies of deconstruction, union, transformation and creation. However, when we question relationships there is a lack of criticism about the systems that sustain our oppressions within them and the dogma of the heterosexual couple has not been questioned in depth. In the following essay I propose to develop sex-affective bonds from love and freedom, not from possession and misery, and relationships beyond the heterosexuality and monogamy that have been imposed.

Journalism is still one of our main tools to understand reality, and, therefore, violence. In this essay, I analyze the relation between the press and our understanding of conflict and war. I also explore some mechanisms like language and narrative that can help us understand how to build stories that, instead of reproducing violence, can serve as a tool to positive peace.

The article "Number 150: Communication for Peace in the Face of Mediatized Violence" highlights the importance of communication in the creation of narratives and discourses related to violence and its relationship with the construction of Cultures of Peace through Communication for Peace. Inclusive policies implemented in different countries for the construction of peaceful communities are mentioned. In addition, several essays are presented that address topics related to communication and peace, such as the prevention of violence against women, the use of Twitter as a political platform, the socio-emotional challenges of adolescents in the post-pandemic period, and the role of socio-digital networks in the production of fake news. The main objective of communication for peace is to promote interculturality, respect for the environment, and equality among genders, races, and classes. [Extracted from the article]

The number of people with cardiovascular diseases is a leading public health problem. The Ministry of Health of Mexico and the local representative office of the Pan American Health Organization have joined forces to implement the "HEARTS: technical package for cardiovascular disease management in primary health care." The objective of this article is to describe the implementation design of the "Healthy-lifestyle counselling" module, which is part of the HEARTS technical package. To this end, an interdisciplinary and inter-institutional group was formed to discuss implementation, the topics to be addressed in each brief intervention, and follow-up and monitoring. In conclusion, working with the advisory group from various health disciplines contributed to a broad vision of the person-centered approach, and helped with the implementation design of the module. The objective is to achieve active communication between patients and health professionals, helping to generate interventions that result in informed patients who are active in their health care, and health teams that enable patients to obtain better health outcomes.

The creation of a radio programme initially aimed at giving value and greater exposure to the various activities and resources of the library. Radio broadcasting was considered as a useful means of communication for this purpose. Based on the philosophy of audiobooks (which allows us to do daily tasks while reading), we organized readings, events and campaigns, as well as book recommendations. The outbreak of COVID-19 in our lives opened up the possibility for libraries to serve society as a means of distraction and, most importantly, as company. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The provision of timely, clear, correct information is an important strategy for controlling panic and containing a pandemic outbreak. However, as this task has not been prioritized in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, a new lethal enemy has emerged that now poses another crisis, namely, the "infodemic", with consequences that have affected the entire population worldwide. In particular, it has increased the vulnerability of a group that is not often discussed: children, who constitute our study population. This article provides an analysis aimed at demystifying false constructs about the low impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the child population. It gives a chronological description of the different events that were the building blocks of the infodemic, affecting this population in three phases: first, at the onset of the pandemic, when its effects on children were ignored altogether; second, when children were stigmatized as "superspreaders"; and third, when the crisis resulting from a failure to transmit information to this population group became evident. The world is facing both the pandemic and a pressing need for communicative justice, which includes children as a primary target group. Taking a social determinants approach, this article proposes a new normal that includes using accurate and clear information to empower children to combat the infodemic virus from an early age.

Nowadays, studies on the appropriation of space from the communication approach enable social research within everyday settings, in order to explore various interactions and appropriations that subjects carry out based on the symbolic attributions that they grant to public spaces and deprived of contemporary times, they also make viable little-explored places that manifest the culture of individuals. The different visions and theories proposed by the authors of the studies of appropriation of the space allow to establish an analysis on the tendencies in which their investigations are generated, in that sense, this essay outlines a brief review of perspectives related to the construction of Theoretical approaches in studies of appropriation of space.

Since Aristotle, the logical character of discourse has accompanied the definition of the human being as a social animal. Everything that was not relates to the logical use of the word was expelled from the humanly rational: emotion, affection and desire became the denied and pre-logical dimension of the human being. However, it is these unspeakable powers of speech that endow it with creative force over life and existence. Emotion, affection, and desire, come into the world so that, together with speech, allow the human being to give an account of himself and the word in a complexity of meanings on many occasions unspeakable.

During the past year, the online services and activities of our libraries have increased their value. Although a strong comeback of virtual activities can be foreseen in the near future, virtual activities are here to stay. The reasons are many and compelling: to complement activities, to substitute others, to commit ourselves to sustainability, and to offer an innovative and futuristic image of the library. Librarians need help and support for these tasks: a permanent and constant training that puts the stress on digital literacy, creativity and innovation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this essay is to outline a theoretical framework for the study of affects in visual commmunication, specifically, in artworks which foundation is visuality, through the work of Canadian philosopher Brian Massumi. Within the study of visual communication, we have followed the guidelines that form the relation between language and representation, in order to analyze the objectified forms of culture. In recent years, an epistemological turn argues that affects and emotions are the engine of every cultural creation, including language and its divers ways of objectification, where we find visual communication. In this change, the study of visual phenomena does not centers around the products but creation processes in which affects are embodied. We understand affects as phenomena conformed by corporal affections and mental processes. This leads to consider visual communication as a process subjected to becoming and there, its materialities capture affect, which enters in a semantic progression, leading up to the formation of emotions, understood as concepts.

Starting from the position that silences are a social practice and although they are executed individually, they always mean collectively as they are complemented by the spectator's gaze. In recent years there has been a wave of contemporary aesthetic manifestations that use visual silences as an action of the political in public space. We recognize these silences through what Mirzoeff (2003) points out as visual culture, referring to that place where meanings are created and discussed, that is, from the experience of the event, of socially constituted of meaning structures that propose different networks of meanings and common interest for actors, spectators and particular collective phenomena.

The current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic presents specific challenges for health professionals in the healthcare setting. In this emergency context, the communication of bad news is especially relevant because of the particular way it must be done: the need to maintain social distance or mobility restrictions imposed on the general population means that this task must often be carried out remotely, mostly by telephone calls. This confronts professionals with a number of particular obstacles: a) most of them have little or no training in this kind of communication skills, b) effective communication of bad news largely depends on body language, which is absent in this type of exchange, and c) since this type of remote dialogue is not recommended -- except in particular circumstances such as the current ones -- there is little literature available to guide the professionals who must carry out this task. This manuscript offers recommendations for remote communication of bad news by telephone, applicable to situations in which this task cannot be carried out in person. A proposal structured around four "moments" is presented to guide the remote transmission of bad news in order to improve the care of patients, families and caregivers during this exchange and to reduce the negative impact from it on health professionals.

The Porfiriato was a time of transcendent changes in the history of Mexican journalism. One of them was the consolidation of the scientific press in the last decade of the 19th century, particularly in Mexico City. This text aims to explain the causes that originated this phenomenon from three axes: positivism, scientific societies and the means of communication and transport. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Latest research on consciousness brings good arguments for abandoning the Cartesian proposal --without undermining its fair appreciation--: existence and, with it, reality, need to be founded beyond own thought. Asking about consciousness, even as a rational mandate, implies asking, in turn, about community, that scope that is made possible by communication, symbolic networks or language. Roger Bartra offers a suggestive approach in this regard in his most recent work, Chamanes y robots. However, contrary to Bartra supposes, there are still several questions to be resolved before to establish both the most intimate properties and the causalities of consciousness.

Over the years, the history and evolution of Pozoblanco's Library has been based on several fundamental premises that have led to its growth: the attentive and constant listening to the people to meet their demands and the boundless participation offered to the community to meet their needs. To this effect, library professionals have had to adapt themselves and undertake the changes emerging from those needs by reinventing themselves, day by day, and by making their transformation visible to the public. A change in the library facilities made by graphic design professionals has allowed the display of a corporate image, suited to the current needs, which defines the identity of Pozoblanco's Library. A motto, "You and I make the library", and a distinct image ascribed to this concept throw a spotlight on the open, innovative and communicative features that characterize the library. Users are one of the library's great assets. The library raises its supporting pillars according to what society dictates. It maintains a continuous synergy with the community. The library staff has learned to work following common guidelines and to take care of the corporate brand with rules that regulate the image in a simple, unitary and coherent way to prevent its deterioration. Over the three years of experience with the brand, it has been proven that the strict care of its implementation has influenced significantly its success, thus improving the way in which the community approaches this service. Its personal seal has given the library character, seriousness, quality and professionalism. The local library is still constantly listening and attentive to new demands. However, there is no doubt that Pozoblanco's Library also dictates today many slogans and messages about its identity to its people through its corporate image. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Libraries of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) have initiated a process of creation of a house brand to project a solid and unified global image.

A number of challenges must be taken into consideration to achieve the best possible effect of "library brand's" positioning, notoriety and visibility on the Internet. The challenges are about library staff's training and motivation, the need for a plan to build up and reinforce the "library brand", and the relevance of corporate visual identity, its positioning in Google and its visibility in social networks. The challenges are also related to the ability to surprise library visitors, the gamification of the library experience, the need to engage and motivate the public to use the library, the search for alliances, and the library's commitment towards its community.
