Determinants of suicidal history before assisted versus self-initiated suicide late in life: an observational study
Authors: Dieudonné Rahm Nathalie , Pautex Sophie
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Older adults are at risk of assisted and self-initiated suicide. The links between prior attempts and assisted suicide in the elderly have not been investigated. Hence, we aimed to investigate and describe the occurrence, timing and determinants of suicide attempts prior to assisted and self-initiated suicide.

METHODS: We developed a retrospective study of all assisted and self-initiated suicides among people over 65 years in the canton of Geneva, Switzerland, for a 10-year period (2010–2019). Cases were identified by cross-referencing hospitals’ routinely collected electronic data and a forensic report database. Cases were characterised in terms of sociodemographic factors, mental health disorders, main comorbidities, temporal sequence, methods of injury, medical complications and disclosure rates of previous attempts. The study used descriptive statistics.

RESULTS: A total of 26 of 497 (5.2%) and 20 of 149 (13.4%) older adults had made previous attempts before assisted and self-initiated suicide, respectively. More than half of them had made a single attempt, mostly by medication poisoning, sometimes more than 10 years before dying. Individuals who made two attempts were significantly more represented among the assisted suicide decedents. One self-initiated suicide decedent and half of the assisted suicide cases had disclosed that they had considered suicide. Individual characteristics were similar, except for assisted suicide decedents, who were eight years older than self-initiated suicide decedents. Almost all the individuals had mental disorders. Depression, anxiety and chronic pain were particularly prevalent among decedents of assisted suicide. The substantial representation of women in both groups may be an indication of their vulnerability, possibly related to chronic pain and life stressors.

CONCLUSIONS: Our results show commonalities between older assisted and self-initiated suicide decedents who made an attempt (s) before suicide. Further research is needed to demonstrate the overlap between the determinants of assisted suicide and other forms of suicidality and to support a suicide prevention strategy applicable to both types of suicide.
Accessibility Mutation Testing of Android Applications
Authors: Neves da Silva Henrique , Regina Vergilio Silvia , Takeshi Endo André
Published: February 2023

Smart devices and their apps are present in many everyday activities and play an important role for people with some disabilities. However, making apps more accessible is still a challenge for developers. Automatically accessibility testing tools can help in this task but present some limitations. They produce reports on accessibility faults, which usually cover only a subset of the app because they are dependent on the test set available. In order to help in the improvement and/or assessment of test suites generated, as well as contribute to increasing the performance of accessibility testing tools, this work introduces a mutation testing approach. The approach includes a set of mutant operators derived from faults corresponding to the negation of the WCAG standard’s principles and success criteria. It also includes a process to analyse the mutants regarding the original app. Evaluation results with 7 open-source apps show the approach is applicable in practice and contributes to significantly improving the number of faults revealed by the test suites accompanying the apps.
Combining Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) with Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a Video Management System
Authors: H. El-Saba Muhammad
Published: February 2023

The latest Video management systems (VMS) software relies on CCTV surveillance systems that can monitor a larger number of cameras and sites more efficiently. In this paper, we study the utilization of SCADA to control a network of surveillance IP cameras. Therefore, the video data are acquired from IP cameras, stored and processed, and then transmitted and remotely controlled via SCADA. Such SCADA application will be very useful in VMS in general and in large integrated security networks in particular. In fact, modern VMS are progressively doped with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms, to improve their performance and detestability in a wide range of control and security applications. In this chapter, we have discussed the utilization of existing SCADA cores, to implement highly efficient VMS systems, with minimum development time. We have shown that such SCADA-based VMS programs can easily incubate AI and deep ML algorithms. We have also shown that the harmonic utilization of neural networks algorithms (NNA) in the software core will lead to an unprecedented performance in terms of motion detection speed and other smart analytics as well as system availability.
Surveillance with UAV Videos
Authors: Delibaşoğlu İbrahim
Published: February 2023

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and drones are now accessible to everyone and are widely used in civilian and military fields. In military applications, UAVs can be used in border surveillance to detect or track any moving object/target. The challenge of processing UAV images is the unpredictable background motions due to camera movement and small target sizes. In this chapter, a short literature brief will be discussed for moving object detection and long-term object tracking. Publicly available datasets in the literature are introduced. General approaches and success rates in the proposed methods are evaluated and approach to how deep learning-based solutions can be used together with classical methods are discussed. In addition to the methods in the literature for moving object detection problems, possible solution approaches for the challenges are also shared.
Important Role of Health Workers in Organ Donation at Gross Route Level
Authors: Jabade Mangesh
Published: February 2023

Life is an energizing experience. It starts with birth and ends with death. Human spend various stages of life with different illnesses and issues between the birth and death. Donation of an organ is not the same as donating an organ or a portion of an organ for transplantation into another individual improving the quality of life of end-stage organ failure patients. The only choice is organ transplantation way to save lives. As a result, there is a supply-and-demand imbalance for donated organs, resulting in patient death. The number of organ transplants has steadily risen over for the past two decades, and children and adolescents have had outstanding results for their regain of life. That is why importance of organ donation needs to focus on gross route level in the community through health workers.
Ocular Manifestations of COVID-19
Authors: Regattieri Giulia , Belem Gabriela , Sandes Jordana
Published: February 2023

The SARS-CoV-2 is a highly infective virus, which is transmitted by exposure to infectious respiratory fluids. Ocular manifestations occur in 10% of the patients. The main ophthalmologic manifestation described so far has been conjunctivitis with mild follicular reaction. The clinical signals usually are conjunctival hyperemia, foreign body sensation, tearing, dry eye, and photophobia, but there is a wide range of ocular signals and symptoms described. Fragments of viral RNA could be detected in the tears of some of these patients. The virus recognizes the ACE-2 receptor in the corneal epithelium and then gains circulation and spreads to other sites. That would demonstrate that there may be a tropism from the new SARS-COV-2 with the eye.
Ethical and Safety Considerations in Stem Cell-Based Therapy for Parkinson’s Disease
Authors: Li Fangzhou , Ji Jiahao , Xue Jun , Schweitzer Jeffrey , Song Bin
Published: February 2023

Stem cell-based therapy for Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is entering an exciting era with many groups competing to reach the goal of safe and practical clinical application. However, the road to this goal is long and beset by challenging obstacles, among which are Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, scalability, and regulatory requirements for the final cell product. Of paramount importance is the patient safety of the stem cell-derived dopaminergic neurons, such that each stage of the cell therapy implementation process must be scrutinized for potential safety concerns before introduction to the clinic can be contemplated. In this chapter, we will critically consider the safety regulations and safety strategies of stem cell-based therapy for PD, emphasizing the principal requirements necessary for this new therapeutic approach to benefit PD patients. We will introduce the current safety challenges and the connections between these safety issues and the special characteristics of neural stem cells. In addition, we will summarize the safety standards for stem cell-based therapy currently adopted by leading cell therapy groups and international regulations. Both in vitro and in vivo safety assessment methods will be discussed as they relate to the implementation of these standards. Finally, we will speculate on strategies for further enhancing the safety of stem cell-based therapy for PD.
Perspective Chapter: Social Aspects of Violence – Cultural Dowry Practices and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in Pakistan
Authors: Shehzad Bhamani Shireen , Merchant Ambreen , Asif Jetha Zohra , Saeed Ali Tazeen
Published: February 2023

Dowry is a transfer of materialistic goods or money from bride’s parents to bridegroom family at the time of marriage. However, as dowry demand rises, it has a significant detrimental impact on the lives of women. This chapter discusses the history of dowry and its practices, the positive and negative impact, and policy implications. The keywords used for this search were: “Dowry AND Pakistan,” “Pakistan culture AND Violence against women,” “social aspects AND Dowry practices,” and “Intimate-partner violence AND Pakistan.” To ensure that readers would receive valid information on the subject, authors searched from reliable engines. Dowry is a common tradition, particularly in South Asian countries. It is originated from Hindu culture, but later adopted and practiced by other Islamic and European-American nations. Though it provides an opportunity for women to get their share of pre-mortem inheritance from their parent’s property. However, it may be the leading cause of violence and abuse that poses an enormous burden on the brides. Violence prevention is achievable, but it requires efforts by the government, health institutions, and civil society. This is an additional contribution by the authors to raise awareness regarding “Dowry,” which is one of the preventable predictors of violence.
Breast Cancer, Gender, and Body Experience – A Qualitative Study in Argentina on the Transit of the Illness, Femininity, and Sexuality at Stake
Authors: Martina Passerino Leila
Published: February 2023

The chapter examines the transit of women through breast cancer by investigating the transformations in lifestyles and social behaviors that the experience of illness inaugurates. From the perspective of gender studies, we investigate the political technologies that operate on corporeality and the cultural matrices from which we signify, live, and account for this transit. These are experiences that, far from being reduced to singular events, have social roots. In particular, we focus on how the experience of illness acts as a regulating device for the notions of femininity and sexuality in play. This is produced by a reconfiguration of the gaze for oneself and for others, especially when going through certain treatments implies that the illness is “manifested” or becomes “public.” With this aim in mind, we look at the different strategies that women adopt, as well as the vicissitudes and shared discomforts that occur in the face of the emergence of the diagnosis and the treatments. The results presented here are the result of research carried out in the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (AMBA) in Argentina during the period 2015–2020, based on in-depth interviews with women between the ages of 25 and 75 who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Preprocessing Techniques for Neuroimaging Modalities: An In-Depth Analysis
Authors: Joseph Alwin , Jayaraman Chandra
Published: February 2023

Neuroimage analysis and data processing from various neuro-imaging modalities have been a multidisciplinary research field for a long time. Numerous types of research have been carried out in the area for multiple applications of neuroimaging and intelligent techniques to make faster and more accurate results. Different modalities gather information for detecting, treating, and identifying various neurological disorders. Each modality generates different kinds of data, including images and signals. Applying artificial intelligence-based techniques for analysing the inputs from the neuroimaging modalities requires preprocessing. Preprocessing techniques are used to fine-tune the data for better results and the application of intelligent methods. Various techniques and pipelines/workflows (steps for preprocessing the data from the imaging modalities) have been developed and followed by multiple researchers for the preprocessing of neuroimaging data. The preprocessing steps include the steps followed in removing noisy data from the inputs, converting the data to a different format, and adding additional information to improve the performance of the algorithm on the data. In this chapter, we compare the various neuroimaging techniques, the type of data they generate and the preprocessing techniques that various researchers frequently use to process data to apply them in artificial intelligence-based algorithms for the classification, prediction, and prognosis of various neurological disorders.
Perspective Chapter: Integrating Traditional Healers into the National Health Care System – A Review and Reflection
Authors: Subedi Bamdev
Published: February 2023

This paper reviews and reflects on the policy efforts to integrate traditional healers in Nepal. Most people in rural Nepal rely on traditional healers for their primary health care needs, not only because health facilities in rural areas are poorly functioning but also because these healers meet various health care needs. The kind of traditional medicine provided by traditional healers (such as herbalists, bone setters, faith healers, and traditional midwives) is much more accessible to them than the practitioners of biomedicine and scholarly traditional medicine (such as Ayurveda, Unani, and Homeopathy). However, traditional healers have not been recognized as legitimate practitioners. Policy initiatives are needed to facilitate recognition, accreditation, or licensing of traditional healers so that they can be integrated into the formal structure of the health care system. Nepal’s recent initiative of registration of traditional healers is an important policy effort in this direction.
Reconceptualizing Geriatric Care in a Sub-Saharan African Context
Authors: Yeye Adumoah Attafuah Priscilla , Eliason Cecilia , P. Amertil Ninon
Published: February 2023

Population ageing is very fast catching up worldwide and with a resultant rise in demands for health services and medical costs. This is because older adults are typically more vulnerable to falls and chronic diseases. It is estimated that by 2025, 57% of the world’s population aged 80 years or older will be living in less developed regions. By 2050, there is an estimated increase of more than 70%. Although, Africa, on average, has the lowest life expectancy in the world, in virtually every country, the section of people aged 60 years and over is developing faster than any other age group, because of both longer life expectancy and declining fertility rates. Older adults have recommended that nurses should receive some training for improving their behaviour and attitude. Older adults and their significant health needs are different from that of an adult or a child and should be considered to meet SDG Goal 8: “ensuring equitable access to, and utilisation of, health and long-term care services …”. Their intense use of health services puts older adults at greater risk of receiving fragmented or poor-quality care. The sheer number of people entering older ages is bound to challenge national structures, particularly health systems. This chapter seeks to review the literature on geriatric health care by specialists.
The Relationship between Dental Occlusion and “Prosthetic Occlusion” of Prosthetic Restorations Supported by Natural Teeth and Osseointegrated Dental Implants
Authors: Ćelić Robert , Pezo Hrvoje , Senzel Stanislava , Ćelić Gracia
Published: February 2023

The concept of human dental occlusion represents much more than the mere physical contact of the biting surfaces of opposing teeth. It is not a static, unchanging, structural relationship, but rather a dynamic, real, physiological relationship between different tissue systems. It is best defined as the functional relationship between the components of the masticatory system, which includes the teeth, the periodontium, the neuromuscular system, the temporomandibular joints and the craniofacial skeleton. Biologically, occlusion represents a coordinated functional interaction between different cell populations of the masticatory tissue systems that differentiate, model, remodel, destroy and regenerate. When the functional balance of the masticatory system is disturbed or when occlusion is restored by various types of prosthetic restorations, specific goals of occlusal treatment become important, especially today with the rapid insertion of dental implants. The aim of this chapter is to highlight the characteristics of dental occlusion in relation to the characteristics and requirements of ‘prosthetic occlusion’ for different types of prosthetic restorations supported by natural teeth, gingiva, alveolar ridges and dental implants. A particular focus in writing the chapter is the analysis of the scientific literature on the interrelationship between the so-called occlusion concepts and the biomechanical aspects of different types of implant prosthetic restorations.
Novel Prosthetic Solutions for High-Quality Aesthetics

Published: February 2023

Human teeth play an important role in facial aesthetics. The modern society trends for more and more demanding aesthetics strongly reflect in teeth appearance. Perfect shaped, aligned, and white teeth are considered the business card of an appealing smile. Fixed prosthetics not only aim to restore the lost function of human teeth but also their aesthetics. The ideal in this matter is to provide an indirect restoration that perfectly matches the neighboring teeth or aims to improve the overall appearance of the patient’s teeth, depending on the situation. However, the choice of aesthetic materials and technologies has experienced a significant development in recent years. By far, dental ceramics are the state-of-the-art material when a high-quality indirect fixed prosthetic restoration is the goal. This chapter will provide information on this class of materials and their indications in fixed prosthodontics, focusing on novel manufacturing technologies, as well.

Don Vasco de Quiroga: educador
Authors: Arce García Victorino de
Published: February 2023

En este ensayo pretendo demostrar que don Vasco de Quiroga fue en el siglo XVI, además de oídor del emperador Carlos V, un gran educador de los indios Tarascos (Michoacán). Tal vez no inventó nada, pero supo hacer realidad lo que otros sólo habían imaginado. Sobre el idealismo de Platón y de santo Tomás Moro, puso el realismo de un hombre que no sólo creía en Dios sino también en la naturaleza, cuando se la sabe descubrir y orientar en libertad. Tres son los pilares de su "método" educativo: el respeto a la libertad del individuo, una visión global de la persona y la atención a sus particularidades. Todo ello enmarcado en una concepción cristiana de la vida. Así surgieron los "Hospitales-poblados".

Reflexiones psicopedagógicas sobre la inteligencia
Authors: Martínez-Otero Pérez Valentín
Published: February 2023

En este artículo se ofrece un enfoque unitario ya la vez múltiple de la inteligencia humana. Frente a posiciones modularistas radicales, se defiende que la inteligencia humana es una, aunque compleja e integrada por capacidades relativamente independientes. No se niega, pues, la diversidad de aptitudes intelectuales repartidas caprichosamente entre los seres humanos, pero tampoco se soslaya el "tronco" intelectual común a toda actividad inteligente. De este planteamiento se derivan trascendentes implicaciones para la educación. Por un lado, se reconoce la necesidad de cultivar los aspectos intelectuales nucleares de toda persona. Por otro, se enfatiza la obligación de afianzar y desarrollar las diferentes aptitudes individuales.(pp. 77-86)

Pautas y estrategias para entender y atender la diversidad en el aula
Authors: Gómez Montes José Manuel
Published: February 2023

A pesar de que la Atención a la Diversidad se ha convertido en los últimos años en el tema estrella de la literatura educativa ocupando gran número de artículos, seminarios, congresos y estudios, la realidad es que tanto maestros como profesores con independencia de la etapa educativa en la que se enseñen siguen encontrando en este apartado un verdadero reto que llena de inquietudes y dudas sus actividades como docentes.Es frecuente que en la Atención a la Diversidad la relación entre la teoría y la práctica genere no menos de algún conflicto. Por eso, una estrategia adecuada para reducir esta distancia teórico-práctica reside precisamente en «entender» el concepto de Atención a la Diversidad dentro de su globalidad para poder conocer posteriormente qué estrategias pueden ayudarnos a «atender» la diversidad de nuestras aulas.

Towards quality CLIL: successful planning and teaching strategies
Authors: Meyer Oliver
Published: February 2023

El aprendizaje integrado de contenidos y lengua extranjera (AICLE/CLIL) está tomando un impulso considerable, prueba de ello es que está siendo integrado en los programas académicos de toda Europa. Sin embargo, hay todavía una falta de materiales didácticos adecuados para su práctica, y queda todavía por desarrollar un enfoque CLIL integral e integrador. Existe la legítima preocupación de que los educadores no lleguen a alcanzar el potencial inherente del enfoque AICLE sino adoptan una mental idad AICLE y unas competencias metodológicas idóneas para hacer que este enfoque innovador cobre vida y asegurar un proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de calidad. Este artículo intenta refer i rse a este problema estableciendo criterios de calidad que ayuden a conseguir una enseñanza y aprendizaje CLIL exitoso y sostenible, e introduciendo una herramienta de planificación flexible, que permite a los docentes desarrollar materiales innovadores basados en el marco de las 4 Cs (Coyle).

Contexts: Research Articles About the Systemic Design Association Contra-Innovation: Expanding the innovation imperative in the context of futuring, defuturing and fictioning
Authors: Perera Dulmini , Fry Tony
Published: February 2023

This paper critically reflects on the problematic relationship between design innovation and design defuturing. Design innovation is broadly understood as a field of knowledge, a mode of organising research around design and a form of design practice linked to dominant and colonising fictions of technology and progress. Design defuturing foregrounds the complex dialectical relation between creation and destruction, emphasising that every form of design futuring also acts to erase other futures. Design innovation has been one of the primary ways “defuturing” agendas gained operative (political) power historically and in the present. So situated, design innovation is structurally elemental to, and circumscribed by, its subordination to the economy and culture of “acceleration.” Several critiques of innovation that emerge from within the systemic thinking discourse do well in engaging the questions of knowledge and learning. However, these systemic readings remain relatively underdeveloped in terms of their politics, failing to consider the ontological propensity of what gets brought into being as it either futures or defutures. By looking at three broader fictions of innovation of the U.S., China, and Cuba in relation to the question of defuturing, we question the fictions that connect design innovation to reductionist accounts of progress. We also propose a framework in which “fictioning” (second-order) can enable a way of speculating upon “contra-innovation,” i.e., innovation to counter innovation that defutures. So positioned, contra-innovation undercuts the notion of innovation posited with an affirmative value and exposes it as a contested domain of action.

Property, Dispossession, and State Violence
Authors: Guenther Lisa ,   DePaul University
Published: February 2023

In “Criminal Empire,” Ojibwe scholar Heidi Kiiwetinepinesiik Stark argues that the criminalization of Indigenous resistance to colonization “averts attention” from the criminality of democratic settler states, which fail or refuse to honor their own legal agreements with Indigenous peoples. This chapter reflects on the implications of Stark’s analysis for the relation between property, dispossession, and liberal democratic state violence. From this perspective, the prison appears not as a correctional institution for individual lawbreakers, but as a spatial strategy for the imposition and enforcement of a colonial legal order and a capitalist property regime. The challenge of decolonization, then, is not just to return stolen land to Indigenous peoples, but also to dismantle the structures of propertied personhood and dispossession that the settler democracy (re)produces through the prison system.

Anthocleista Djalonensis: A Review of Its Ethnobotanical, Phytochemical and Pharmacological Potentials
Authors: A. OGUNBOYE Adebayo
Published: February 2023

Anthocleista djalonensis is widely used in African folk medicine to treat conditions. This review aims to provide for the first time ethnopharmacological information while critically evaluating the traditional medicinal uses, chemical constituents and pharmacological activities so as to unveil opportunities for future research. Ethno-medical uses of the, leaf, root and stem bark extracts include treatment of wound, constipation, diarrhoea, dysentery, abdominal pain, hepatitis, jaundice, cirrhosis, fungal skin infection, filarial worm infections, acute inflammation and boils on skin, anti-diabetes, antimalarial, anti-pyretic, anthelmintic, antimycobacterial, and anti-bacterial properties. Some of the compounds isolated are phthalide and xanthones sweroside, djalonenoside, lichex-anthone, stigmasterol, 3-oxo-Δ4′5-sitosterone, sitosterol, ursolicacid, djalonensin and D-(þ)-bornesitol. The pharmacological activities of the leaf, stem bark and root has been scientifically proven by in vitro and in vivo studies. The cytotoxic activity of the crude methanol extracts obtained from the stem, roots and leaves and three natural plant constituents (djalonenol, sweroside and djalonensone respectively) isolated from the extract had been evaluated in vitro. This review has been able to show the therapeutic potentials of Anthocleista djalonensis through its ethnobotanical and pharmacological uses.
Mobile Big Data Analytics Using Deep Learning and Apache Spark

Published: February 2023

The new mobile big data is the outcome of the widespread use of mobile devices like smartphones and IoT devices. Without employing suitable analytical and learning methodologies to extract crucial facts and hidden designs from the data, collecting MBDs is not economically viable. We drew on the work of other academics who published their findings between 2015 and 2021 for this analysis. This white paper gives an introduction to deep learning in MBD analysis and a straightforward training exercise, and it verifies the viability of customizable learning architectures via Apache Spark. Certain deep learning tasks, in particular, are carried out using guided iterations. Many Spark staff members have been let go. Recent progress has been made due in large part to the availability of "big data." An expert deep model is constructed by having each Spark worker train a fractional deep model on a shared MBD and then averaging the range of all Midway models. For instance, in the business world, platforms like Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark have become increasingly well-known in recent years. The importance of efficient big data analytics in solving AI-related problems is becoming more and more apparent. His Spark infrastructure now includes the multi-computational package MLlib. Although the library can be used to do many different types of AI computations, the Spark architecture is particularly well-suited to very slow and computationally costly methods like deep learning.
Ceremonial universitario, escenarios y competencias del personal orador
Authors: Morales Galárraga Andrea Salomé
Published: February 2023

El presente artículo muestra los contextos y desafíos que enfrentan las instituciones  educativas superiores en el Ecuador a la hora de planear y ejecutar eventos académicos, los mismos que se dan en diversas temáticas y tipologías. Son pocas las universidades que cuentan con el manejo adecuado del ceremonial y protocolo, debido a que se tiende a delegar estas funciones a departamentos, personas o áreas que ejecutan dichos eventos de manera  empírica o a gusto y disposición de las autoridades de turno. Una de las principales falencias se presenta en la selección de personal para desarrollar el papel de maestros de ceremonias, presentadores y animadores, puesto que se tiende a pensar que su función es la misma o, en  su defecto, que cualquier persona puede ejercer esta competencia.
Comunicación estratégica en la responsabilidad social de las organizaciones frente al escenario del Cambio Climático
Authors: Vásquez Indacochea Pedro
Published: February 2023

En la actualidad, la humanidad viene afrontando escenarios de riesgos distintos a los que estuvo acostumbrada. La cantidad de desastres naturales viene incrementándose por el aumento de la intensidad de los efectos del Cambio Climático, los cuales generan nuevos retos de adaptación y de mitigación en nuestro día a día, tanto a nivel de las organizaciones como del ciudadano de a pie.

En dicho contexto, el rol de las organizaciones es clave con la finalidad de sumar de manera estratégica y significativa en estas medidas de adaptación y de mitigación frente al Cambio Climático a partir de la gestión de los impactos sociales y ambientales derivados de su accionar. Como organizaciones socialmente responsables, se tiene el compromiso de prevenir o minimizar la afectación en el medio ambiente a partir del abordaje de estos impactos. Esta gestión implica cambios en la organización a través de la puesta en marcha de planes de acción entre cuyos componentes el aspecto comunicacional, tanto interno como externo, es primordial para asegurar su éxito.Por ello, se plantea en el presente artículo la relevancia de considerar el componente comunicacional a lo largo de la estrategia de responsabilidad social de las organizaciones como elemento clave para el fortalecimiento de su sostenibilidad, el cuidado del medio ambiente y la mejora de la calidad de vida de sus grupos de interés.
El protocolo de Estado como imagen para la sociedad a través de la comunicación
Authors: Suanzes Lobo Juan Manuel
Published: February 2023

El desarrollo de las sociedades ha venido acompañado, desde siempre, de una herramienta poderosa en la comunicación, como es el Protocolo (y el Ceremonial) de cada cultura. El protocolo de Estado genera un importante mensaje para la sociedad que lo recibe, que no es otro que la verdadera composición institucional de su sistema político, es decir, del propio Estado. La evolución de los medios de comunicación ha incrementado el impacto y la velocidad de expansión de ese importante mensaje, pero el interés por el mismo ha existido siempre, y gracias a sus ejemplos somos, en muchos casos, conocedores de la propia Historia de nuestros pueblos.
