Abstract. Fire interacts with many parts of the Earth system. However, its drivers are myriad and complex, interacting differently in different regions depending on prevailing climate regimes, vegetation types, socioeconomic development, and land use and management. Europe is facing strong increases in projected fire weather danger as a consequence of climate change and has experienced extreme fire seasons and events in recent years. Here, we focus on understanding and simulating burnt area across a European study domain using remote sensing data and generalised linear models (GLMs). We first examined fire occurrence across land cover types and found that all non-cropland vegetation (NCV) types (comprising 26 % of burnt area) burnt with similar spatial and temporal patterns, which were very distinct from those in croplands (74 % of burnt area). We then used GLMs to predict cropland and NCV burnt area at ∼9×9 km and monthly spatial and temporal resolution, respectively, which together we termed BASE (Burnt Area Simulator for Europe). Compared to satellite burnt area products, BASE effectively captured the general spatial and temporal patterns of burning, explaining 32 % (NCV) and 36 % (cropland) of the deviance, and performed similarly to state-of-the-art global fire models. The most important drivers were fire weather and monthly indices derived from gross primary productivity followed by coarse socioeconomic indicators and vegetation properties. Crucially, we found that the drivers of cropland and NCV burning were very different, highlighting the importance of simulating burning in different land cover types separately. Through the choice of predictor variables, BASE was designed for coupling with dynamic vegetation and Earth system models and thus enabling future projections. The strong model skill of BASE when reproducing seasonal and interannual dynamics of NCV burning and the novel inclusion of cropland burning indicate that BASE is well suited for integration in land surface models. In addition to this, the BASE framework may serve as a basis for further studies using additional predictors to further elucidate drivers of fire in Europe. Through these applications, we suggest BASE may be a useful tool for understanding, and therefore adapting to, the increasing fire risk in Europe.
Documents, reanalysis, and global circulation models: a new method for reconstructing historical climate focusing on present-day inland Tanzania, 1856–1890
Authors: Gooding Philip , Lazenby Melissa J. , Frogley Michael R. , Dai Cecile , Su Wenqi
Published: December 2024

Abstract. This article proposes a novel methodology for reconstructing past climatic conditions in regions and time periods for which there is limited evidence from documentary and natural proxy sources. Focusing on present-day inland Tanzania during the period 1856–1890, it integrates evidence from qualitative documentary sources with quantitative outputs from climate reanalysis and global circulation models (GCMs), which enables the creation of interdisciplinary seasonal time series of rainfall variability for three distinct locales. It does so by indexing each dataset to the same seven-point scale and weighting each output according to a predefined level of confidence in the documentary data. This process challenges the subjectivity of nineteenth-century Europeans in Africa, whose reports form the basis of the documentary material, and adds evidence from the region, which is currently lacking from the latest reanalysis products and GCMs. The result is an interpretation of documentary materials that is grounded in methods from both the humanities and natural sciences, as well as a more locally grounded estimation of rainfall that would otherwise be gained from referring to reanalysis or GCMs alone. The methodology is validated with reference to observed long-term trends gathered from (paleo)limnological studies and short-term trends gathered from documentary materials and instrumental records in nearby regions. It is shown to provide marked insights into four periods of environmental stress in the region's late nineteenth-century past. Future challenges may involve integrating evidence from oral traditions, which will require more in-region research and collaboration, and adapting the methodology for other regions and time periods.
A 2700-year record of Cascadia megathrust and crustal/slab earthquakes from Acorn Woman Lakes, Oregon
Authors: Morey Ann E. , Goldfinger Chris
Published: December 2024

Abstract. We infer a ∼2700-year history of Cascadia megathrust and other earthquakes from two small mountain lakes located 100 km inland of the coast near the California–Oregon border. We use the characteristics of a disturbance deposit in the historic portion of the sediment cores attributed to the 1700 CE Cascadia earthquake to identify Cascadia earthquake deposits downcore. This deposit is composed of light-colored silt sourced from the delta and has extended organic grading of the deposit tail and a basal contact with evidence of rapid loading or coseismic settling of silt into the organic sediment below. Eight deposits downcore have the characteristics of this deposit. An age–depth model suggests that six of these are temporal correlatives to the largest margin-wide marine turbidite event deposits from Goldfinger et al. (2012) (deposits T1 through T6), whereas the two deposits with some of the characteristics are potential correlatives of smaller deposits T5a and T5b. We use the characteristics of the lower of two deposits inferred to be the result of a crustal earthquake that occurred in 1873 CE to identify similar deposits downcore. As a result, temporal correlatives of T2a and T3a and smaller deposits in the marine record were identified as likely crustal fault earthquakes. These results suggest that small Cascadia landslide-dammed lakes from distances of 100 km inland of the coast with sufficient sedimentation rates (∼1–2 cm per decade) and mixed clastic and organic content may be good recorders of subduction earthquakes. Furthermore, southern Cascadia crustal earthquakes likely partially explain the more frequent earthquakes in southern Cascadia and suggest a previously unrecognized hazard in the region.

Published: December 2024

Abstract. In the wake of a volcanic eruption, the rapid assessment of building damage is paramount for effective response and recovery planning. Uncrewed aerial vehicles, UAVs, offer a unique opportunity for assessing damage after a volcanic eruption, with the ability to collect on-demand imagery safely and rapidly from multiple perspectives at high resolutions. In this work, we established a UAV-appropriate tephra fall building damage state framework and used it to label ∼50 000 building bounding boxes around ∼2000 individual buildings in 2811 optical images collected during surveys conducted after the 2021 eruption of La Soufrière volcano, St Vincent and the Grenadines. We used these labelled data to train convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for (1) building localisation (average precision equals 0.728) and (2) damage classification into two levels of granularity: no damage vs. damage (F1 score = 0.809) and moderate damage vs. major damage (F1 score = 0.838) (1 is the maximum obtainable for both metrics). The trained models were incorporated into a pipeline along with all the necessary image processing steps to generate spatial data (a georeferenced vector with damage state attributes) for rapid tephra fall building damage mapping. Using our pipeline, we assessed tephra fall building damage for the town of Owia, finding that 22 % of buildings that received 50–90 mm of tephra accumulation experienced at least moderate damage. The pipeline is expected to perform well across other volcanic islands in the Caribbean where building types are similar, though it would benefit from additional testing. Through cross-validation, we found that the UAV look angle had a minor effect on the performance of damage classification models, while for the building localisation model, the performance was affected by both the look angle and the size of the buildings in images. These observations were used to develop a set of recommendations for data collection during future UAV tephra fall building damage surveys. This is the first attempt to automate tephra fall building damage assessment solely using post-event data. We expect that incorporating additional training data from future eruptions will further refine our model and improve its applicability worldwide. To facilitate continued development and collaboration all trained models and the pipeline code can be downloaded from GitHub.
Brief communication: A note on the variance of wind speed and turbulence intensity
Authors: Archer Cristina Lozej
Published: December 2024

Abstract. This note addresses the issue that several papers in the peer-reviewed literature of wind energy applications have used an incorrect equation that equals the variance of wind speed (σ2U) to the sum of the variances of the wind components. This incorrect equation is often used to calculate turbulent intensity (TI), which, as a consequence, is often incorrectly estimated too. While exact analytical equations do not exist, here two approximate analytical equations are derived for σ2U and TI, both functions of the variances of the wind components. Both formulations are validated with samples from a prior field campaign and perform satisfactorily.

Relationship of Interleukin (IL-10) Level to Sputum Conversion and Influence Factors in Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis
Authors: Djaharuddin Irawaty , Iskandar Harun , Tabri Nur Ahmad
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is an infection causative agent of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Indonesia is in fifth place with drug-resistant tuberculosis. The achievement of TB management is surprisingly dependent on the analysis, suitable remedy, and comparing its remedy. Many TB patients who are present process similarly anti-tuberculosis remedies have issued sputum elimination for acid-resistant bacillus smear examination so that the healing display is not optimal.
Objective: The study analyzes the relationship between interleukin 10 (IL-10) level and sputum conversion and influence factors in drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Methods: A total of 45 resistance tuberculosis mycobacterium with inclusion criteria are 18-65 years old, shorter regimen, acid-fast bacilli sputum conversion, and serum IL-10 levels were recorded in the medical record—the research analytic observational with a retrospective cohort design.
Results: Interleukin 10 levels show that the higher the anti-inflammatory response, the faster the sputum conversion occurs. It can be a marker of the weakened immune response of Th1 to MTB infection. Based on the AFB sputum conversion, other studies supported that the increase of IL-10 levels in serum could be used as a prognostic marker of the therapeutic success of TB. Cut off point IL-10 level in this study was 5,83 pg/ml with 94,29% sensitivity and 100% specificity in predicting conversion time.
Conclusion: The higher IL-10 production in TBRO indicates suppression of immune response. Comorbid factors of diabetes mellitus and initial bacterial load affect the sputum conversion influence of TBRO patients.

Keywords: Interleukin 10, influence factor, TBRO, conversion

Published: December 2024

Obesity is a complex chronic disease characterized by excessive fat deposits that can undermine health. Obesity can lead to increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases; it can affect bone health and reproduction; and it also increases the risk of certain cancers. WHO in 2022 reported 2.5 billion people are suffering from obesity. It is a multifactorial disease due to obesogenic environments, psychosocial factors, and genetic predispositions. Lacks of physical activity, sedentary lifestyle, mode of transportation, and screen time have also shown significant impact on it. Because of the strong link between elevated screen time and obesity, effective and advanced studies are required to address and understand this issue. Classification, prediction, and population-level analysis help us to build future prevention strategies to combat. Machine learning algorithms proved their remarkable results in the latest studies for prediction analysis. We have used data from the open source library UCI and applied three machine learning approaches for classification, prediction, and cluster analysis: K-mean clustering, the K-nearest neighbor algorithm (KNN), and a decision tree with a random forest. Among them all, the decision tree with random forest has shown the best results with an accuracy of 95.64% and a relative absolute error of 17.96%. All approaches proved strong associations between increased screen time and obesity level.

Begomovirus is the largest and important genus in virus taxonomy. It has more than 400 widespread species causing diseases in different plant families. Besides cash crops, begomoviruses also infect ornamental plants which lead to significant losses and lower market value. The accurate and precise knowledge of incidence and distribution of the plant viruses is mandatory for the management of plant viruses. The research study was aimed to assess the distribution and to estimate the disease incidence of begomoviruses infecting ornamental plants in Multan region which include district Multan, Lodhran, Khanewal and Vehri. Overall, 174 leaf samples of ornamental plants from different sites in Multan region were collected. Total genomic DNA from ornamental plants were extracted with CTAB method and subjected to PCR for the amplification of partial coat proteins gene using universal primers. Total incidence data of begomoviruses infecting ornamental plants in Multan region was calculated as 54% while district wise disease incidence percentage was recorded as 58.06% in district Multan, 55.88% in Vehari, 55.26% in Lodhran and 50% in Khanewal. High disease incidence was recorded in Euphorbia tithymalioides as 77.7%, followed by Hibiscus rosa-sinensis 71.4%, Euphorbia milli 70.5%, Tabernaemontana divaricate 66.6%, Tecoma stans 54.5%, Jasminum sambac 37.5% and Radermachera sinica 20% while Quisqualis indica, Irresine herbstii, Cordia dichotoma, Ficus benjamina, Bougainvillea and Hamelia patens were found uninfected. Uneven distribution of begomoviruses was observed with maximum distribution 38.2% in district Multan and minimum 19.1% in Vehari. The study gave a vivid picture of ornamental plants harboring begomoviruses and that could lead to a vital part of an integrated management of these viruses.

The Impact of Enterprise Social Media Fatigue on Employee Creativity: A Conceptual Paper
Authors: Wang YunYan , Teo Poh-Chuin
Published: December 2024

In the era of information technology, the rise in popularity of social media is reshaping communication, entertainment, work, and learning. As social media has shown its potential to have a significant impact, organizations are pouring resources into their social media programs to focus on finding or building enterprise-level social media that suits the features of the business. Enterprise social media is proving to be an efficient instrument for improving communication, enhancing collaboration, and accelerating the dissemination of corporate knowledge. However, information and communication technology has been characterized as somewhat of a “double-edged sword”, and as such, there is also growing concern among researchers that enterprise social media use has an undeniable “dark side”. This conceptual paper applies the stressor-strain-outcome (SSO) model to explain the potential roles played by “fear of missing out” (FoMO) and privacy concerns as stressors that affect “enterprise social media fatigue” (ESMF); as well as the effect that ESMF may have on employee creativity. Research propositions based on this conceptual framework have also been developed.

Published: December 2024

The review's objectives were to discuss the understanding of 3D food printing technology, a new way of manufacturing foods, and how this technology can be applicable in the food processing industry. The 3D food printing provides a wide domain of food and nutrition-based applications. The different three-dimensional shapes of a food can be developed without the utilization of any mold by using 3D printing technology. Many industries use this technology to manufacture many distinct products. However, utilizing this technology in food processing to manufacture new foods, such as plant-based meat analogues, represents a new trend. So, it is important to understand the principle of the 3D food printing technology for applying this technology in the food processing industry properly. In this review, the mechanism of 3D food printing, evolution of this technology, ingredients compatible for this technology, pros and cons of this technology and the quality evaluation of the 3D printed foods were discussed in detail. Also, the study provided details regarding the available 3D food printers, specifications, and their price. Achieving the exact texture of the 3D printed foods prepared by conventional cooking methods is a steep challenge for this technology. 3D food printers can produce complex food models, and this technology can design unique food patterns. Selection of a printing method is important because a 3D food printing technique can be an extrusion-based printing, selective sintering printing (SLS) method, inkjet printing and binder jetting and each method has its advantages and disadvantages. Pizzas, cookies, chocolates/candies, plant-based meat/fish analogues and many more customized food products can be manufactured using a 3D food printer. Overall, 3D food printing technology has great potential as a cooking method in the food industry.

Published: December 2024

As climate change intensifies, carbon pricing mechanisms (CPMs) have emerged as crucial policy tools to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and foster a transition to low-carbon economies. This study analyzes the efficacy of various CPMs, including carbon taxes, emissions trading schemes (ETS), and hybrid models, in reducing emissions across leading economies such as the European Union, United States, China, and Canada. By examining the economic, environmental, and social outcomes of each model, the paper highlights the successes and challenges faced by these countries in implementing CPMs. The analysis reveals that, while CPMs have been effective in curbing emissions to varying degrees, their success is contingent on factors such as pricing levels, regulatory enforcement, and policy integration with renewable energy and energy efficiency measures. Additionally, this study investigates the role of complementary policies, the impact on energy-intensive industries, and the socio-economic considerations necessary for equitable implementation. Insights from this comparative analysis offer valuable lessons for other nations considering CPMs, emphasizing the need for flexible, context-specific approaches that balance environmental goals with economic growth and social equity. Recommendations include enhancing international collaboration, adjusting pricing mechanisms to reflect local economic conditions, and increasing transparency to build public trust in carbon pricing as a long-term climate solution.

Published: December 2024

Leishmaniasis and leprosy comprise the group of granulomatous diseases. Although both diseases have a known occurrence in Brazil, their concurrent presence is rare, and few cases have been reported in the literature. We report the case of a 46-year-old male patient co-infected with leprosy and mucosal leishmaniasis. Examination revealed an ulcerated lesion on the nose and a lesion with a granulomatous surface on the palate, in addition to spots on the arms and legs. After diagnosis, the patient was treated for co-infection and has been under follow-up for 2 years without signs of recurrence. The diagnosis of leishmaniasis/leprosy co-infection is challenging because of the broad clinical spectrum. Few cases have been reported in the literature and the dentist may play an important role in its detection.
Student Decision Making and the Choice of Non-degree Postsecondary Pathways
Authors: Padilla Estefanie Aguilar , Baker Rachel , Beu Sarah
Published: December 2024

Non-degree postsecondary programs are often seen as complements to, rather than substitutes for, other postsecondary credentials. However, many of these programs could serve as entry points into high-wage, stable careers for students right out of high school. Increasing and equalizing
participation in high-quality non-degree postsecondary programs requires better understanding the student choice process. In this paper we use novel survey data that interrogated high-school students' beliefs and perceptions about specific postsecondary programs, including non-degree pathways.
We make two main contributions. First, we present some of the first descriptive evidence of student perceptions of non-degree postsecondary pathways. We find that familiarity with non-degree postsecondary pathways is generally relatively low with some notable differences across pathways and
across groups of students. Second, we examined the postsecondary pathways students stated they were currently considering and the factors most associated with students selecting non-degree postsecondary pathways. We find that male students are nine percentage points less likely than female
students to include non-degree pathways in their consideration sets and that Hispanic students are seven percentage points more likely than White students. Students who are concerned about lowering costs (e. g., lower financial cost, easier academics, faster) are more likely to consider choosing
non-degree pathways while students who state that their reasons for pursuing a post-secondary pathway are related to greater perceived benefits (e. g., higher quality education) are more likely to only consider degree pathways. This study provides important insights into potential student
sorting across programs and can also help us to understand how this decision-making process might have implications for future economic, social, and civic outcomes.

Authors: Cozachcow Alejandro
Published: December 2024

El artículo aborda la migración judía de Argentina a Israel en el período pos-pandemia sobre la base del análisis de los resultados de una encuesta virtual realizada a personas que hicieron aliá (inmigración judía a Israel) durante el año 2022. A partir del año 2020, coincidente con el inicio de la pandemia COVID-19, el número de olim de Argentina llegó a duplicar entre 2021 y 2022 la cantidad del año 2019, de acuerdo con información de la Agencia Judía para Israel. Los datos que aquí se analizan forman parte de una investigación más amplia en curso, cuyo objetivo es conocer los perfiles de las personas que han realizado aliá durante el período pos-pandemia. Para ello, en este trabajo se presentan resultados organizados en torno a tres dimensiones centrales. Por un lado, para el total de las personas encuestadas; por el otro, de modo comparado entre las personas que migraron solas y aquellas que lo han hecho junto a sus familias. Estos tres aspectos dan cuenta de: a) las características sociodemográficas, inclusive la localidad de procedencia; edades, máximo nivel de estudios alcanzados, modalidad de migración (personas solas o en familia); b) los vínculos con lo judío, teniendo en cuenta la participación en organizaciones de la comunidad judía y en espacios educativos judíos, las identificaciones en torno a lo judío, y el conocimiento del idioma hebreo; c) los vínculos con Israel, en base a los viajes previos, contar con familiares y/o amistades cercanas, así como las modalidades por las que se informan sobre la cotidianeidad israelí. Desde un abordaje interdisciplinario en el ámbito de las ciencias sociales y los estudios judíos, este trabajo busca aportar al conocimiento de las transformaciones recientes de las comunidades judías a nivel global.

Transformación es el concepto conductor para este logro, lo que requiere generar nuevos conocimientos y competencias.
Entre los principales desafíos y oportunidades en la educación en salud destacan: –La necesidad de una profunda innovación tecnológica asociada al desarrollo de competencias emocionales y comunicacionales, y la incorporación de nuevas profesiones. –Un enfoque holístico y multidisciplinario que incluya el entorno social, económico, cultural y ambiental, priorizando los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) mediante una colaboración científica más amplia y abierta. –En el ámbito político, el creciente nacionalismo que afecta a muchas instituciones académicas debe adaptarse, manteniendo su integridad académica y misión educativa.
En síntesis, la educación en salud pública en América Latina demanda innovación y colaboración estableciendo enfoques interdisciplinarios, mayor justicia social y la sostenibilidad de sus instituciones con el fin de contribuir a un futuro más equitativo, inclusivo y resiliente para todos.

Published: December 2024

O presente estudo visa descrever as experiências na implementação e realização de educação em saúde em sala de espera na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Como objetivos específicos busca identificar quais estratégias da Terapia Ocupacional podem ser aplicadas em sala de espera e identificar quais os resultados são obtidos em sala de espera. Este estudo possui caráter descritivo, no modelo de relato de experiência. Desenvolvido em um Centro de Saúde Escola, de fevereiro a julho de 2021. Foram planejadas e estruturadas 10 atividades. Foram realizadas 7 atividades, totalizando 88 participantes, sendo 72 do sexo feminino, evidenciando a predominância do sexo feminino, sendo priorizado o uso de metodologias ativas. Os principais desafios identificados foram a presença de barulho na Unidade, os usuários se mostrarem desacostumados e receosos frente a proposta e os profissionais da equipe da Unidade apresentaram dificuldade em compreender o significado da proposta. Os facilitadores encontrados foram partir das demandas dos usuários permitindo maior adesão, dialogar e planejar antecipadamente com a equipe do serviço e a aproximação entre os presentes, com uma comunicação horizontalizada. A vivência evidenciou que a sala de espera deve ser usada como um espaço de cuidado em saúde, uma vez que permite com êxito trocas e assim construções individuais e coletivas de conhecimento com maiores chances de mudança no estilo de vida, sendo importante que estas ações estejam também no planejamento do serviço. No entanto, apesar da presença considerável de publicações na área, se mostra reduzido as publicações que contemplem a atuação e experiência do Terapeuta Ocupacional.

La terapia ocupacional en el contexto chileno ha experimentado transformaciones significativas en su campo de acción. Una de estas transformaciones se relaciona con su inserción gradual en el entorno educativo, en el cual aún existen incongruencias en la regulación de su incorporación y funciones de acuerdo con la normativa actual vigente. En el contexto educativo la terapia ocupacional conlleva una labor colaborativa que fomenta una conexión activa entre los diversos miembros de la comunidad escolar. Esto, a su vez, propicia la ejecución de una serie de iniciativas orientadas hacia el fomento de la educación inclusiva. El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en analizar las percepciones que poseen los profesionales de la educación con respecto al rol del terapeuta ocupacional en favor de la inclusión y el trabajo colaborativo en un colegio particular subvencionado de la región del Biobío en Chile. Se aplicó una entrevista semiestructurada a profesionales asistentes de la educación y docentes de aula regular del establecimiento. Para el análisis de datos se utilizó el software cualitativo Nvivo en su versión 14. Los resultados obtenidos indican que profesionales de la educación perciben al terapeuta ocupacional como un aporte significativo para la inclusión escolar, dado que contribuye con nuevas herramientas y conceptos que amplían la labor educativa hacia la atención de la diversidad. Desde este punto, se evidencia la trascendencia de establecer una regulación que rija su incorporación y rol en las comunidades educativas. Esta medida busca asignar los tiempos y recursos indispensables para ejecutar sus funciones de manera eficaz.

Authors: Jurado Vásquez DR. Pedro , Cruz Velasco DR. Alex , Borja Ochoa DR. José Luis
Published: December 2024

Se considera como una complicación de la colelitiasis con fistula colecisto duodenal y en rara ocasión colecisto-colónica. Se presenta cuando existe una fistula bilio-entérica como consecuencia de colecistitis aguda recurrentes donde la vesícula se adhiere al duodeno o al colon provocando necrosis y perforación de estos dos órganos que se encuentren en contacto.
El íleo biliar es una condición de pacientes de edad avanzada y con ello muchas veces con factores de comorbilidad, por lo cual la resolución inmediata del cuadro obstructivo es la mejor manera de disminuir la tasa de complicaciones en estos pacientes, es decir la resolución temprana.
Se presenta el caso de un paciente de sexo masculino, 68 años de edad, diabético, que debuta con dolor abdominal náuseas, vómitos, distensión abdominal intermitente, que se diagnosticó topográficamente como íleo biliar por la presencia de un cálculo intraluminal en el íleo cuya la resolución quirúrgica fue en un solo tiempo.

Published: December 2024

La disminución de la riqueza y la experiencia culturales en Guayaquil, Ecuador, es un tema preocupante que ha llevado a la pérdida de elementos esenciales de la identidad y tradiciones arraigadas de la ciudad. A lo largo de los años, Guayaquil ha sido un emblema de riqueza patrimonial y diversidad cultural, pero últimamente, una sombra de preocupación se cierne sobre la ciudad debido a la pérdida de su legado cultural. El artículo destaca la importancia de preservar y revitalizar el patrimonio cultural de Guayaquil para enriquecer la vida social y la cohesión comunitaria, así como para impulsar el atractivo turístico de la ciudad. Se ha identificado la necesidad de conectar los nodos culturales existentes en Guayaquil, como museos, teatros y espacios públicos emblemáticos, para crear una experiencia cultural integrada y accesible tanto para los residentes como para los visitantes. La metodología aplicada en el artículo incluye un análisis del contexto cultural y urbano de la ciudad, además de una metodología urbana basada en los "Seis pasos para transformar el espacio público" de Jan Gehl. Basándose en dicha metodología se plantean estrategias para contrarrestar esta disminución cultural. Entre ellas, se plantea la creación de una ruta cultural que conecte y promueva los nodos culturales de Guayaquil, revitalizando espacios urbanos y fomentando la participación ciudadana y la instalación de mobiliario urbano y vegetación. Con estas acciones, se busca asegurar que el legado cultural de Guayaquil perdure a lo largo del tiempo y enriquezca la vida de los y las guayaquileñas y visitantes.
La huella ecológica de los perros y gatos de compañía
Authors: Sáenz De Viteri Cristian , Torres Pablo
Published: December 2024

Como indicador de desarrollo sostenible, la huella ecológica ha logrado proporcionar una base para discutir los impactos ambientales del consumo humano. Los seres humanos son el origen de numerosas actividades contaminantes en la Tierra y son los principales impulsores del cambio climático. Sin embargo, se han realizado muy pocas investigaciones sobre los impactos ambientales de los animales, especialmente los animales domésticos, como perros y gatos, quienes necesitan cantidades significativas de comida para mantener sus necesidades energéticas diarias. Por lo tanto, la huella ecológica animal (HEA) dietética podría servir como un indicador útil para evaluar los impactos de las mascotas en el medio ambiente. En el presente artículo, explicamos el impacto ambiental de los perros y gatos de compañía cuantificando su HEA y las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) de acuerdo con los datos primarios recopilados en los tres distritos de la ciudad Guayaquil en coordinación con la Facultad de Medicina Veterinaria y Zootecnia de la Universidad de Guayaquil y de la Unidad de Bienestar Animal de la Alcaldía de Guayaquil; los resultados muestran que la HEA dietética de perros y gatos de compañía con comida seca comercial en el distrito 3 o en el distrito 1 era aproximadamente dos veces mayor que el de los distrito 2. Se concluye que la mayoría de los perros y gatos de compañía en los distritos 1, 2 y 3 de Guayaquil consumen más energía de la que realmente necesitan para mantener una actividad normal, lo que afecta en las emisiones de GEI y la HEA de la dieta.
