La investigación se realizó en la División Territorial de Villa Clara (DTVC) de la Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba (ETECSA), a partir de una demanda de ella para determinar el impacto de las acciones de comunicación de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) desarrolladas durante el acompañamiento y apoyo a sus clientes en tiempos de pandemia. El objetivo fue evaluar la campaña de comunicación “Nuestra felicidad es unir”, desde criterios de la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial en la DTVC. Se empleó un enfoque mixto con diseño anidado o incrustado concurrente de modelo dominante (DIAC), donde el método cuantitativo es el dominante. Se escogieron muestras probabilísticas y no probabilísticas. Los métodos y técnicas utilizados fueron el análisis documental, el análisis de contenido, la entrevista semiestructurada y el cuestionario. Los principales resultados arrojaron dificultades en el alcance de los mensajes emitidos y en el impacto esperado, por lo que se considera necesario continuar trabajando en temas de comunicación de responsabilidad social desde la empresa hacia sus clientes.

Introdução/Objetivo: Uma estratégia para compreender a forma grave da COVID-19 está voltada para avaliação de marcadores epidemiológicos, laboratoriais e clínicos capazes de predizer óbito. O presente estudo analisou marcadores epidemiológicos, biomarcadores clínicos e laboratoriais em participantes com COVID-19 grave internados em hospital de referência para tratamento da COVID-19 em Ilhéus/BA, com objetivo de determinar quais marcadores poderiam ser usados como preditores do óbito. Métodos: O estudo foi submetido ao CEP/UESC, aprovado sob CAAE n° 40671720.4.0000.5526. Realizado entre 11/06/2020 a 30/07/2021, onde foram coletados dados epidemiológicos, laboratoriais e clínicos dos prontuários de pacientes internados na UTI de um hospital de referência para COVID-19 em Ilhéus e cidades vizinhas, situadas no Sul da Bahia. Os dados foram registrados no software Epimed Monitor, passando por tratamento estatístico, respeitando categoria da variável: quantitativa ou categórica. As análises foram realizadas por softwares GraphPad Prism 9.0 e Statistical Package for Social Sciences 26.0. A classificação de sobreviventes e não sobreviventes foi analisada via curva ROC pelo método de Wilson/Brown. O estudo englobou 218 participantes com média de idade de 64,37SD± 15,16, 123 do sexo masculino e 95 do sexo feminino. 77 vieram a óbito. Resultados: As análises estatísticas evidenciaram idade superior a 65 anos (ponto de corte >66.5; p < 0,001) e sexo masculino(OR 2.73; IC95% 1.15-6.46; p < 0.022) como marcador epidemiológico para óbito, assim como biomarcadores clínicos insuficiência respiratória (OR 5.56; IC95% 3.05-10.15; p < 0.0001),vasopressores (OR 6.28; IC95% 3.08-12.56; p < 0.0001), cateteres (OR 79.30; IC95% 13.693-810.2; p < 0.0001) e dispositivos de ventilação mecânica invasivo (OR 5.56; IC95% 3.05-10.15; p < 0.0001) e não invasivo (OR 0.34; IC95% 0.18-0.60; p < 0.0003). A elevação de dosagem de ureia (ponto de corte de >40.5; p < 0,0001 e) e creatinina (ponto de corte de >0,895; p < 0,0001) nitrogênio ureico (ponto de corte >19.4; p < 0.0001), lactato sérico (ponto de corte >1.350, p = 0.0035.) dosagem de pH arterial (ponto de corte 10.03; p < 0,0001) e a longa permanência em UTI passando 11 dias (ponto de corte >11,5; p < 0,001) foram associados ao óbito, correlacionados a injúria sistêmica. Conclusão: Os marcadores epidemiológicos, laboratoriais e clínicos encontrados neste estudo podem ser usados pela equipe clínica como preditores para óbito em pacientes com COVID-19.

El encuentro con el nuevo mundo es un punto de partida importante para pensar las bases culturales del Antropoceno. Desde este punto de vista, el debate fundamental debe partir por resituar la modernidad y con ello darle una cartografía diferente a la forma como se han manifestado determinadas ideas y valores que fueron el fuego que avivó la acción de la crisis ambiental. Dentro de este debate, exponemos algunas diferencias con los puntos de vista de Arias Maldonado, especialmente en relación con el lugar de enunciación de sus planteamientos. Dentro de las múltiples aristas que se derivan de la discusión, el texto se detiene en algunos comentarios sobre el ego cartesiano, pilar fundamental de la modernidad desde la perspectiva decolonial planteada por Dussel, para quien la colonialidad es constitutiva de la modernidad y no derivativa. Desde este punto de vista, este artículo sugiere que el problema fundamental que abonó el terreno para el Antropoceno es la modernidad en su sentido colonial, y se propone que fuera más adecuado hablar de modernoantropoceno o antropomodernoceno europeo, que del concepto universalista de Antropoceno.

El tema de demanda de dinero es concebido como uno de los principales problemas macroeconómicos, cuya resolución se lleva a cabo a través de la relación de variables que determinen el nivel de renta nacional, precios y tasas de crecimiento. Por tal motivo, la presente investigación tiene como objeto principal, analizar la relación del producto interno bruto, la tasa de interés y la innovación tecnológica en un modelo de demanda de dinero transaccional para Colombia en el período trimestral de 1994 a 2019. De esta manera, el trabajo abarca la teoría de la preferencia por la liquidez de Keynes (1936) y el modelo de tecnología de transacciones de Lucas (1994); las estimaciones se dan a través del procedimiento de cointegración de Johansen, el mecanismo del vector de corrección de errores y el análisis impulso-respuesta. La evidencia empírica sugiere que se cumple de forma plausible la teoría establecida, puesto que el producto interno bruto actúa como variable escala y la tasa de Interés como costo de oportunidad, y se evidencia que la variable de aproximación a la innovación tecnológica ejerce un efecto inverso sobre la demanda de dinero.

The purpose of this article is to support the idea that art is an exploration of conflicts. To achieve this goal, at first it is necessary to understand that a key to interpretation is to assume that conflicts are constitutive of every social bond, and that a harmonious society is a contradiction in terms. In a second moment, we will understand that the conflict will be located in the novel as the fundamental setting where modernity occurs. In a third moment, the questioning of the crisis will take us to the psychoanalytic assumptions to understand the relationship between conflict, modernity and identity based on the concepts of sublimation, oblivion and mourning. Finally, we will try to determine how the three previous moments are synthesized in anthropological vulnerability as a point of contact in the relationship between literature and philosophy.

La enfermedad por neumococo se define como cualquier infección causada por la bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae; esta se denomina invasiva cuando el aislamiento de este microorganismo se confirma en sitios corporales que son normalmente estériles, tales como la sangre y el líquido cefalorraquídeo, y no invasiva cuando la infección se produce en sitio corporal es que normalmente no son estériles. La enfermedad renal crónica y la diabetes mellitus son factores de riesgo importantes para el desarrollo de enfermedad neumocócica debido a su estado de inmunosupresión, por lo que la vacunación antineumocócica es una medida preventiva fundamental en los pacientes que padecen estas condiciones.

As urbanization proceeds, natural ecosystems surrounding cities are transformed, but usually some elements persist, notably trees from forest ecosystems. However, it is still unknown the extent to which isolated trees, immersed in an urban matrix, maintain their interactions with insects that feed on their seeds. In this work we analyzed pre-dispersal seed predation by the two main groups of insects, weevils (Coleoptera; Curculionidae) and moths (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), whose larvae feed on the acorns of two oak species (Quercus rugosa and Q. castanea). We compared these interactions between trees located in a protected forested area and trees isolated in an urban matrix. Our hypothesis was that, since pre-dispersal seed predation depends on insect dispersal, acorns from isolated trees would have lower predation levels than acorns from trees in the forest. A second hypothesis, based on reports that moths exhibit larger dispersal distances than weevils, was that isolated trees would have higher predation levels from moths than from weevils compared to their respective proportions in forest trees. Finally, we expected that moth predation would increase with seed size, as it does in weevils. We collected 1200 acorns of the two oak species (ten trees per species) in a protected oak forest and a nearby highway in southern Mexico City. From the whole sample, 17.3% of the acorns were predated by weevils and 3.8% by moths. The probability of predation was larger in acorns from trees in the forest (0.30) than in those from isolated trees (0.07), which confirmed the first hypothesis; tree species identity did not have a significant effect on the proportion of predated acorns. When only predated acorns were analyzed, predation by weevil larvae was larger than predation by moths in both oak species, although the probability of predation by weevils was higher in the oak species having large acorns (Q. rugosa, 0.93), than in the species with small acorns (Q. castanea, 0.63). Inversely, predation by moths was higher in Q. castanea (0.37) than in Q. rugosa (0.07). Seed predation decreased similarly for weevils and moths in isolated trees, so we failed to find support for our second hypothesis. A positive relationship between seed predation by weevils and seed size was found in Q. rugosa but not in Q. castanea; seed size did not affect predation by moth larvae. Therefore, although isolated trees in the urban matrix harbor smaller populations of pre-dispersal seed predators than forest trees, their interactions with the two main groups of insects feeding on acorns are maintained, which points to their importance for the conservation of urban biodiversity.

The purpose of this document is to analyze, based on technological criteria, regulatory standards and international recommendations, the impact of blockchain technology on credit markets and how such dynamics could have direct effects on Latin American markets, i.e., producing greater efficiency and financial inclusion in the region. For this purpose, the scope of blockchain technology will be contextualized, the possible applications of said technology in the financial markets will be developed, and finally the regulatory proposals on the application of said technology in the Latin American credit markets will be analyzed in relation to risk management and financial inclusion.

The introduction of scientific results necessarily supposes the achievement of positive impacts that contribute to the integral formation of the professional from the education in Matanzas. In particular, the articulation of the introduction of the scientific pedagogic and historiographical results can raise the level of knowledge, skills and habits of students, but also learn to act according to the social requirements. Then we should say that in the formation of the professional education, must be integrated the local history to the learning and university didactic processes, to intervene in theformation and promote the transformations that society needs.

The concepts of perception and corporeity in the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty have influenced studies on philosophy of theater. The idea of embodied consciousness is relevant for understanding bodily and expressive experience in the theatrical context, especially for investigating the relationship between the spectator and the play. Thus, the purpose of this article is to highlight how the phenomenal field is shaped in a theatrical work in two moments: first, the understanding of the stage as the articulating core of the experience involving space, time and movement; second, the relationship between the actor and the spectator in terms of gestures and speech. It is shown that in theater there is a generative conformation of collective senses according to the modulation of the phenomenal field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
