- Abstract
[ES] La podredumbre blanca o de cuello en lechuga, causada por Sclerotinia sclerotiorum y S. minor, es una de las enfermedades más importantes de la lechuga a nivel mundial, debido a las pérdidas que ocasiona y su difícil control. Estos dos hongos ascomicetos producen esclerocios, masas de hifas apelmazadas rodeadas por una capa de melanina resistente, que sirven tanto como estructuras de conservación y supervivencia como inóculo primario para cultivos de lechuga subsiguientes, consiguiendo así multiplicarse y diseminarse. Por ello, el control de los esclerocios, agentes causales de la podredumbre blanca, en suelo es esencial para la reducción del inóculo primario de estos hongos y, de este modo, reducir el nivel de infección inicial en parcelas de lechuga. Para este fin, existe un agente de control biológico, Coniothyrium minitans, que parasita los esclerocios de ambas especies. En este trabajo se ha usado una técnica de tamizado húmedo de suelo para la cuantificación de esclerocios de S. sclerotiorum y S. minor que permita determinar el número de esclerocios en suelos de campos comerciales de lechuga y se ha estudiado si la aplicación del agente de biocontrol C. minitans en un ciclo de cultivo de lechuga es efectivo para la disminución de las poblaciones de esclerocios viables de S. sclerotiorum y S. minor en suelo. Para ello, se realizaron experimentos con muestras procedentes de tres parcelas de cultivo de lechuga que habían sufrido infecciones de podredumbre blanca en años anteriores localizadas en Fuente Álamo (Murcia), Carnaxide (Lisboa) y en Algarrobina (Almería). Se marcaron dos subparcelas en cada parcela y en cada una de estas subparcelas se tomaron muestras de suelo para determinar la densidad de los esclerocios de S. sclerotiorum o S. minor, tras la primera recogida de muestras, una subparcela de cada parcela se trató con C. minitans y un año después se realizó la segunda toma de muestras. Tras dejar secar las muestras, se procedió a la recuperación de, [EN] Lettuce drop, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and S. minor is one of the most important diseases of lettuce worldwide, due to the losses it causes and its difficult control. These two ascomycete fungi produce sclerotia, masses of compressed hyfas, surrounded by a resistant layer of melanin, which serve as conservation and survival structures and as primary inoculum for subsequent lettuce crops, thereby they multiply and spread. Thus, the control of sclerotia, in soil is essential to reduce the primary inoculum of these fungi and, in this way, to reduce the initial level of infection in lettuce plots. For this purpose, a biological control agent exists, Coniothyrium minitans, which parasitizes the sclerotia of both species. In this paper a technique of moist sieved soil has been used for the quantification of S. sclerotiorum and S. minor sclerotia, that makes possible to determine the number of sclerotia in soils of lettuce crop fields. Moreover, it has been studied whether the application of the biocontrol agent C. minitans in a lettuce growing cycle is effective for the decrease of viable populations of S. sclerotiorum and S. minor sclerotia in soil. For that purpose, different experiments with samples of three different lettuce field, which suffered roteness infections previous years, placed in Fuente Álamo (Murcia), Carnaxide (Lisboa) and in Algarrobina (Almería), werw carried out. Two subplots were marked in each plot, and in each of these subplots different samples of soil were taken to determine the density of sclerotia of S. sclerotiorum or S. minor, after the first sample collection, a subplot of each plot was treated with C. minitans , and a year after a second sample collection took place. After letting the samples dry, a sclerotia recovery in soil was made through the moist sieved technique, and their viability was studied. The results obtained showed that in all the soils of the three studied plots where C. minitans was applied, no significant di

[ES] Las enfermedades fúngicas de la madera de la vid se han convertido en un grave problema para la sostenibilidad de este cultivo debido a que causan importantes pérdidas de producción y suponen costes económicos adicionales. Los hongos patógenos asociados a estas enfermedades causan síntomas similares y además es frecuente detectar en las vides la presencia de dos o tres o más de estas especies simultáneamente. En este trabajo se ha realizado un estudio de las diferentes especies de hongos que provocan enfermedades de madera en el viñedo de Lanzarote, del cual no hay estudios anteriores. Para ello, se han recogido muestras de viña que presentaban síntomas propios de enfermedades de madera en diferentes localizaciones de la isla. Dichas zonas se localizaban en La Geria (Parcelas: Bilbao, Palmeras, Chupadero y Tablero) y en Uga (Parcela: Las Peñas 1), ambas zonas pertenecientes al municipio de Yaiza en Lanzarote. Se realizaron aislamientos fúngicos de las muestras y, posteriormente, se realizó la identificación de las colonias obtenidas mediante métodos moleculares basados en la Reacción en Cadena de la polimerasa (PCR) con oligonucleótidos universales y la secuenciación de diferentes regiones génicas. Los resultados obtenidos confirmaron la presencia de hongos causantes de enfermedades de la madera en la mayoría de las muestras estudiadas., [EN] Fungal grapevine trunk pathogens have become limiting factor for the sustainability of this crop, resulting in significant losses of production and additional economic costs. The pathogenic fungi associated with these diseases cause similar symptoms and it is also common to detect in the vines the presence of two, three or more of these species simultaneously. In this work, a study of the different species of fungi that cause trunk diseases in the vineyard of Lanzarote has been carried out, of which there are no previous studies. To do this, samples from vineyards showing symptoms of these diseases in different locations on the island were collected. These vineyards were located in La Geria (Plots: Bilbao, Palmeras, Chupadero and Tablero) and in Uga (Plot: Las Peñas 1), both zones belonging to the municipality of Yaiza. Fungal isolations of the samples were made and, subsequently, the identification of the colonies obtained by molecular methods based on the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) with universal oligonucleotides, and the sequencing of different gene regions was also carried out. The results obtained confirmed the presence of fungal trunk pathogens in most of the samples studied.

Context of the problem: Hospitals have been considered a main component for health systems success. Objective: To describe perceptions from hospital staff regarding the implementation of the hospital self-management policy in two highly complex facilities in Chile. Justification: A successful policy implementation demands aligned health professionals regarding policy changes. Methods: Descriptive and exploratory qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews for health professionals from two hospitals in southern Chile. A convenience sample of nineteen health professionals was selected for interviewing. The interviews' analysis was thought as the content analysis technique in its conventional approach. Results: For health professionals, a hospital's self-management policy is conceptualized from financial autonomy. Human resources for health and organizational capabilities still remain as weaknesses of the implementation process. Conclusions: Overcoming gaps between design and implementation processes are crucial for success in hospital reform implementation.

El propósito de la presente investigación fue realizar la adaptación inicial del instrumento Espacio de Vida de la Familia (FLS) en el contexto de la localidad de Kennedy. La investigación tomó desde la teoría los pasos para la adaptación de pruebas e instrumentos sugeridos por autores reconocidos, además definió las dimensiones y factores del instrumento; contó con el concepto de tres jueces expertos para determinar el nivel de acuerdo de los factores del mismo; en la aplicación piloto se administraron los instrumentos espacio de vida de la familia FLS y el Inventario de satisfacción marital en la versión adaptada ACI para esta investigación; esto permitió hacer los ajustes para la aplicación en la muestra de 5 parejas en crisis y en 5 parejas que no estaban en crisis. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron una asociación fuerte entre los 2 instrumentos y al realizar la prueba de U de Mann-Whitney se evidenciaron diferencias significativas entre los dos grupos salvo en el factor de relaciones con otras personas. Concluyendo que el instrumento espacio de vida de la familia FLS no permite diferenciar el factor de relación con otras personas y por tanto no se ajusta al contexto local. Finalmente la investigación estableció unas normas de administración y aplicación del instrumento espacio de vida de la familia FLS. The purpose of this investigation is to make the initial adjustment of the instrument: Family living space FLS, in the context of the district of Kennedy, suburb of Bogota. The investigation took from theory the steps to make the adaptation of the test and instrument, suggested by recognized authors; it defined the dimensions and the factors of the instrument; it had the support of three expert judges concept in order to determine the level of agreement of the same factors; in the first application of the investigation we provided the instrument: family living space FLS and the inventory of the marital satisfactions in the adapted version ACI for this study; thus we could make the adjustments for implementation in the sample of 5 couples in crisis and in 5 couples not in crisis. The results showed a strong association between the two instruments; when we made the Mann-Whitney test U. we evidenced significant differences between the two groups apart from the factor of relations with other people. We deduced that the instrument: family living space FLS does not allow differentiating the factor of the relationship with other people and therefore does not conform to the local context. Finally the investigation established standards

Material and methods: An exploratory and descriptive study with a critical reading of the structure of the programs of 217 courses. Revision of official academic registries. Results: Gender is usually not included in the curricula of health care careers. The generic language conceals female academics and students. There was a scarce inclusion of cross sectional issues such as collaborative work, interpersonal and democratic relationship, equity and critical analysis. There were no differences in academic achievements between female and male students. The contractual profile of female academics reproduces the gender inequity ofthe work market.

- Abstract
Objective: To learn the perceptions of decision-makers concerning the imple-men-t-ation stage of a hospital self-management policy in two highly complex hospitals in southern Chile., Methods: A descriptive, exploratory, qualitative study based on semi-structured in-depth interviews of decision-makers at the Regional Hospital of Valdivia and the Hospital San José de Osorno from August 2010 to December 2011. A convenience sample of 26 decision-makers was selected. The 26 interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The information was analyzed using inductive content analysis., Results: The interviewees consider the concept of self-management to be determined by autonomy in decision-making about resource allocation and the financing of health service delivery in the hospitals. They also stated that human resources and financing policies should be included to improve the implementation stage. They related weaknesses with the lack of organizational capabilities and managerial skills in the health teams implementing the changes., Conclusions: Conceptually, the hospital self-management policy is based on financial autonomy, and implementation is affected by persistent capacity gaps in policy design.
