Nowadays, architectural projects that include a sustainable approach by understanding the climatic conditions of the site, guarantee a better thermal comfort performance to its users. In addition, there is a growing demand from users and tourists for sustainable projects whose carbon footprint is the smallest possible to protect the environment in compliance with the UN’s 2030 sustainable agenda. Due to the tourist potential of Catamayo and the climatic characteristics that are presented, this academic article evaluates the climatic conditions of the site, and the behavior of an existing building in Catamayo, on which recommendations are generated to improve the comfort zone inside the building based on sustainable passive strategies. This includes the climatic analysis of the site using the psychometric chart, wind rose and stereological chart to know its climatic variation and focus the data obtained in the analysis on the existing building of the hotel “Ciudad de Catamayo”. In fact, the building faces long hours of solar exposure during the day, which conditions to generate a high energy consumption to maintain an adequate internal temperature for its guests. Therefore, based on the data from the analysis and several simulations of solar and wind paths, passive strategies are established to be implemented that allow the building to reduce solar radiation gain and include natural ventilation to reduce energy consumption and improve the internal comfort zone of the hotel., En la actualidad, los proyectos arquitectónicos que incluyen un enfoque sostenible entendiendo las con-diciones climático del sitio, garantizan un mejor des-empeño de confort térmico a sus usuarios. además, existe una creciente demanda de usuarios y turistas por proyectos sostenibles cuya huella de carbono sea la menor posible en procura de proteger al medioam-biente cumpliendo la agenda sostenible 2030 de la ONU. Debido al potencial turístico de Catamayo y las características climáticas que se presentan, este arti-culo académico evalúa las condiciones climáticas del sitio, y el comportamiento de un edificio existente en Catamayo, sobre el cual se genera recomendaciones para mejorar la zona de confort al interior del edificio basado en estrategias pasivas sostenibles. Para esto se incluye el análisis climático del cantón utilizando la carta psicométrica, rosa de los vientos y la carta este-reológica para conocer su variación climática y enfo- car los datos obtenidos en el análisis sobre el edificio existente del hotel “Ciudad de Catamayo”. De hecho, el edificio enfrenta largas horas de exposición solar du-rante el día, lo que condiciona a generar un alto consu-mo energético para mantener una temperatura interna adecuada para sus huéspedes. Por lo tanto, en base a los datos del análisis realizado y varias simulaciones de recorrido solar y recorrido de vientos, se establece estrategias pasivas a implementarse que permitan a la edificación reducir la ganancia de radiación solar e incluyan una ventilación natural para disminuir el con-sumo energético y mejorar la zona de confort interna del hotel.

Sedation was first proposed in 1988, in the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) guidelines, to manage children's behavior and reduce their reaction to dental care. Each patient is selected following the "Physical Status Classification System" recommended by the American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA). In addition, presurgical evaluation involves checking the primary body functions such as respiratory, cardiovascular, and central nervous systems, considering that the most common complications are due to anatomical variations between children and adults. This bibliographical review aims to explain in depth the process of patient selection and the evaluation of their physical condition. A comprehensive digital search was done in both Spanish and English on sedation before dental care and pediatric behavioral guidelines. Databases such as PUBMED and SciELO were included; in addition, the recommendations of the ASA and AAPD were used as starting points. In conclusion, it is strongly stated and supported by the available data that a comprehensive review of each system helps the dentist to ensure high-quality dental treatment and to complete a successful sedation appointment. Keywords: sedation, early childhood, dental anxiety, behavioral guidelines., La sedación fue propuesta en 1988, en la guía avanzada de la Academia Americana de Odontología Pediátrica (AAPD), con la finalidad de controlar el comportamiento y minimizar la respuesta negativa del niño frente a la atención odontológica. La selección del paciente se lo realiza por medio el “Sistema de Clasificación del Estado Físico” indicada por la ASA. Además la evaluación preoperatoria involucra la revisión de los principales sistemas como: respiratorio, cardiovascular y nervioso central, teniendo en cuenta que las complicaciones más frecuentes se dan por variaciones anatómicas entre niños y adultos. El objetivo de esta revisión bibliográfica es detallar el proceso de la selección del paciente y la evaluación de su estado físico. Se realizó una búsqueda digital integral en idioma español e inglés sobre sedación previo a la atención odontológica y manuales de comportamiento infantil. Se incluyeron bases de datos como: PUBMED y SciELO, adicionalmente se tomaron como referentes de partida las recomendaciones de la ASA y AAPD. Se concluye con gran hincapié y soporte de la literatura actual, que la revisión minuciosa de cada sistema ayuda al clínico a completar con éxito la cita de sedación y poder obtener así, un tratamiento dental de alta calidad.

Anemia in pregnant women is a matter of concern, as it can have negative consequences for both the mother and the fetus. Care in feeding and nutrition of women of gestational age plays a very important role in comprehensive health care, since a series of factors such as demographic, labor, socioeconomic, environmental and other factors have led to changes in the care and, therefore, in the dietary patterns of mothers of gestational age. Therefore, our objective was to explore the perspectives and experiences on nutritional knowledge and dietary practices associated with anemia in pregnant women attending the Paraíso health center. Cuenca. 2023. The research was carried out through a phenomenological approach. A purposive sample was used, selecting pregnant women with a diagnosis of anemia who attended the El Paraíso Health Center. A sample of 10 pregnant women was worked with using a form with semiestructurad questions. According to the results obtained, it is concluded that dietary practices of pregnant women who come to the Health Center are not adequate, although it is true that the repercussions of nutrition in pregnancy and maternal and fetal health are known, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the consumption of essential nutrients, and on the contrary, a high consumption of carbohydrates is evident, which undoubtedly leads to nutritional limitations that could affect the health of the mother and the unborn child.
