ABSTRACT Since prehistoric times, indigenous communities have relied on fish as a staple source of protein for their subsistence. In most cases, fish is the sole source of income and of animal protein for the communities. Nevertheless, the documentation of fish from an ethnological perspective is rare, and biological research alone might not provide sufficient information required to manage fisheries resources. We discuss the traditional ichthyological knowledge of the Piapoco, Piaroa, Puinave, and Sikuani ethnic groups inhabiting the Matavén Forest (Vichada, Colombia). Each group has its perception regarding knowledge, at times detailed, of fish groups, their distribution, and uses. To obtain information regarding traditional ichthyological knowledge, fish were collected over one month at 31 sampling sites in different habitats along the lower Matavén River basin. The fish were identified by formal taxonomy and the informal classification by experienced fishermen of the four ethnic groups. There was consistency among the names given by the ethnic groups and formal taxonomy. The indigenous collaborators used binomial classification systems in which the organisms are grouped at family and genus levels and, to some extent, categorization depends on distribution within the aquatic habitats (i.e., rivers, streams and lagoons). The indigenous collaborators did not provide sociocultural or mythological information related to the fishes. Our findings contribute to the development of conservation and rural development projects in the Colombian Amazon.

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar a associação de fatores sociodemográficos, do comportamento vocal, morbidades e autopercepção da voz, auditiva e de saúde geral de idosas com distúrbio vocal. Método Participaram 95 idosas com idades entre 60 e 84 anos (média 69,5). Realizou-se uma entrevista com apoio de um questionário estruturado contendo questões sociodemográficas, de saúde e do comportamento vocal. Utilizou-se o Protocolo para Rastreamento de Alterações Vocais em Idosos (RAVI) para identificar a presença de distúrbio vocal. Resultados Houve o predomínio de participantes com ensino médio completo e aposentadas. O número de idosas que apresentaram distúrbio vocal segundo o RAVI foi de 46,3%. Queixas relacionadas às sensações físicas como garganta seca, pigarro e coceira na garganta foram as mais presentes. O grupo de idosas com distúrbio vocal apresentou pior autopercepção da qualidade vocal, audição, saúde geral e maior frequência de infecções de vias aéreas superiores quando comparadas àquelas sem distúrbio vocal (p≤0,05). Conclusão Houve associação estatística entre a autoavaliação vocal mensurada pelo RAVI e a autopercepção da qualidade da voz, da audição, da saúde geral, inflamações de garganta, sinusite e alergias respiratórias.
Ergonomics contribution to occupational safety
Authors: Diniz Eugênio Paceli Hatem , Lima Francisco de Paula Antunes , Simões Raoni Rocha
Published: January 2024

Abstract Introduction: while high-risk processes with high accident rates challenge safety, High Reliability Organization (HRO) achieve excellent indicators. In both cases, prevention seems to have reached a limit. In the former, because it seems powerless to generate prevention; in the latter, because it has been so successful that it seems impossible to reach greater levels. Objective: to highlight the contribution of Ergonomics to safety in these situations, pointing out unexplored possibilities such as design Ergonomics in man-machine integration (computerized systems). Method: comparative analysis of findings from ergonomic studies on production systems with high accident rates and HRO. Discussion: analysis of the motorcycle freight drivers’ activity revealed alternatives yet to be explored between unfavorable work relations and the perceived inevitability of accidents. The apparent limit of HRO can be overcome with recent advances in the analysis of situated action and cognition and by building debate spaces based on field experience. Collaborative design practices, which draw on worker experience to feed learning dynamics and technical reliability, remains a poorly explored possibility in Safety Engineering when it comes to computerized systems.

Published: January 2024

Resumo Introdução: o Distúrbio de Voz Relacionado ao Trabalho (DVRT) é um agravo de elevada prevalência, especialmente em professores. Em 2018, o Ministério da Saúde (MS) publicou o Protocolo DVRT, visando orientar sua identificação e notificação, de modo a subsidiar ações de vigilância sobre seus determinantes. Objetivo: sintetizar história, resultados de debates e reflexões acerca do DVRT no Brasil, desafios enfrentados e caminhos futuros para a formalização do seu reconhecimento. Método: ensaio teórico, realizado a partir de revisão de literatura, documentos e registros de participação dos atores sociais no processo de reconhecimento do DVRT. Resultados: a busca do reconhecimento do DVRT percorreu uma trajetória não linear, destacando-se três fases: elaboração de protocolos e formalização preliminar do DVRT; internacionalização das discussões; e inclusão do DVRT na nova lista de doenças relacionada ao trabalho do MS, seguida de revogação e repristinação. Conclusão: o processo de busca de reconhecimento do DVRT se transformou em um “imbróglio político-social”, desdobrando-se em iniciativas do Poder Legislativo e do Conselho Nacional de Saúde e no reconhecimento nos estados da Bahia e do Espírito Santo. Desafios surgiram com as mudanças no mundo do trabalho, implementação de linhas de cuidado e capacitação profissional para o manejo do DVRT.
Conceptualização cultural: a figuração do Brasil como país em reconstrução
Authors: Tavares Eliana da Silva
Published: January 2024

O estudo realizado investiga como Brasil é representado como país em reconstrução, a partir de uma análise de quatro capas dos periódicos Carta Capital e Le Monde Diplomatique Brasil. Num primeiro momento, capas relacionadas às eleições presidenciais de 2022 e, num segundo momento, capas relacionadas à posse do novo presidente, em seu terceiro mandato, Luís Inácio Lula da Silva. O artigo conversa com uma apresentação anterior, de 2018, na UFMG, ocasião em que foram analisadas duas capas dos mesmos meios jornalísticos, com as quais, à época, foi investigada a maneira como Brasil era representado como país na Idade Média, após o golpe de 2016, que destituiu a presidente Dilma Rousseff. As capas de então continham elementos figurativos alusivos à Idade Média e a tribunais de exceção. Os elementos que possibilitam a leitura proposta agora são, por um lado, a própria expressão “reconstruir o Brasil” escrita na edição do Le Monde, por ocasião das eleições e, por outro lado, a maneira como o presidente eleito é apresentado, acompanhado das expressões “O triunfo de Lula”, “Lula, terceiro ato” e por fim uma imagem sem inscrição verbal, mas que mostra o presidente nos braços de uma multidão, sendo conduzido ao Palácio do Planalto.
A Conceptualização do Feminino na Música Popular Carioca: o Samba e o Funk
Authors: Costa Laura da , Cavalcanti Fernanda
Published: January 2024

No presente artigo, apresentamos estudo que buscou compreender a conceptualização do feminino nos gêneros musicais do funk e do samba cariocas à luz da Teoria da Metáfora Conceptual (LAKOFF; JOHNSON, 2002 [1980]).  Para tanto, com base em metodologia de caráter qualiquantitativo, analisou-se, incialmente, o léxico relativo ao feminino em 100 canções pertencente ao funk carioca, produzidas por Anitta, Dennis DJ, Lexa, Ludmilla e Pocah no período de 2017 a 2021. Em seguida, para confirmação da prevalência da metonímia conceptual MULHER É BUNDA encontrada nas 100 canções pertencentes ao funk carioca, investigou-se o mencionado léxico em 100 canções do samba carioca, produzidas por Dudu Nobre, Mart'nália, Mumuzinho, Dilsinho e Martinho da Vila, no período de 2018 a 2022.Os dados indicaram a relevância da metonímia PARTE E TODO na conceptualização de feminino em ambas as canções, tendo em vista que: o item lexical ‘bunda’ obteve média de 13,56 ocorrências contra uma média de 1,95 – mão e cara - nas 100 canções pertencentes ao funk carioca; ‘boca’ e ‘coração’ obtiveram 56 e 54 ocorrências respectivamente contra 12 ocorrências de ‘mão’, 06 de ‘pé’, 04 de ‘peito’ e ‘rosto’, 03 de ‘braço’ e 02 de ‘cabelo’ e ‘língua’ nas 100 canções pertencentes ao samba carioca. Além disso, foi observada a relevância das metáforas conceptuais MULHER É ÁGUA, MULHER É DIA, MULHER É SOL e MULHER É FLOR nas cem canções pertencentes ao samba carioca. Concluiu-se que o conjunto de valores e crenças - hegemônico ou não - é relevante para estruturação do conceito de feminino no âmbito da sociedade carioca, já que foi possível observar, de um lado, a influência da nova moralidade advinda do culto ao corpo idealizado (GOLDENBERG, 2002) na emergência da metonímia conceptual MULHER É BUNDA encontrada nas 100 canções analisadas do funk carioca; e, de outro lado, a influência de valores da cultura afro-brasileira motivando as metáforas conceptuais MULHER É ÁGUA, MULHER É DIA, MULHER É SOL e MULHER É FLOR.

Skin is the most fundamental organ in the human body because it protects the body from the outside environment. There are several elements that can alter skin functioning and create a variety of disorders ranging from hyperpigmentation to skin cancer. A wide range of marine compounds, including both forms of micro- and macroalgae and fishing byproducts, are currently available in the cosmetic and cosmeceutical market. Several synthetic medications are promoted as providing skin protection, but they have various adverse effects. Algae is a natural phototropic plant that can endure any condition and has a variety of skin protective properties due to the presence of bioactive substances such as mycosporine-like amino acids, carotenoids, sulfated polysaccharides, sterols, polyphenols, and vitamins. It includes photoprotective chemicals such as UV absorbers, antioxidants, matrix-metalloproteinase inhibitors, anti-aging, and immunomodulatory properties. As a result, using algae as a cosmeceutical product can help to avoid a variety of skin diseases.
Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticle-Based Chitosan Nanocomposites Using Neowestiellopsis persica Strain A1387 and Characterization of Their Potential Antimicrobial Activity Against Oral Pathogen
Authors: Nowruzi Bahareh , Tajbakhsh Mahdi
Published: January 2024

Today, overuse and unregulated application of antibiotics and antimicrobial agents have resulted in a substantial increase in drug-resistant pathogens. Therefore, there is a great need for innovative therapeutic methods that can replace ineffective antibiotics. Cyanobacteria are one of the most useful natural candidates in the biosynthesis of nanoparticles to face antibiotic resistance in pathogens. In this study, the antimicrobial effect of different concentrations of silver (AgNPs) nanoparticles based chitosan nanocomposites biosynthesized by Neowestiellopsis persica against oral pathogens was investigated. The NPs biosynthesis were characterized through UV-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). Results of UV-visible Spectroscopy showed that the amount of absorption increased significantly with increasing time. The SEM and TEM images depict the size of the nanocomposite to be 78.74 to 74.29 and 100 nm respectively and spherical in shape. According to the results of the FT-IR spectrum, the peaks located at a wave number less than 800 cm-1 are related to the stretching vibration of metal-oxygen bonds in a crystal structure, where due to the presence of silver nanoparticles, these peaks can be related to the symmetric and asymmetric stretching vibration of Ag-O bonds. The results of XRD crystallography confirmed the success of the synthesis of microcoated silver nanoparticles by chitosan. The average crystal size of silver nanoparticles covered by chitosan was 17.6 nm. The antimicrobial efficacy of the biosynthesized AgNP nanocomposite showed that with the increase in the concentration of nanoparticles and nanoparticles coated with chitosan, the diameter of the growth halo increased significantly (p < 0.05).
Totally the results of this study confirmed that nanoparticle-based chitosan nanocomposites biosynthesized by cyanobacteria species can be converted into nanomedicine to meet future biomedical needs.
Estado, turismo y covid-19 en Argentina: implicaciones de las políticas durante la pandemia
Authors: Schenkel Erica
Published: January 2024

La covid-19 provocó una reformulación de las políticas en el sector turístico, pues ante la caída de los flujos internacionales se volvió a apostar por el turismo nacional. Argentina es un ejemplo de este fenómeno: durante la pandemia impulsó una agenda turística local como no sucedía desde hace décadas. La promoción externa y el turismo receptivo (internacional), que ocupaban un lugar protagónico en la agenda del sector, dejaron lugar al fortalecimiento del turismo doméstico. En este artículo se analiza la reformulación de la agenda turística argentina durante la pandemia y sus implicaciones socioterritoriales. Para ello, se utiliza como enfoque teórico-metodológico al análisis de políticas, particularmente los estudios de evaluación que parten de estrategias cuanti-cualitativas. Se describen las tres políticas implementadas (asistencia al sector turístico nacional, coordinación y adaptación a la nueva normalidad y estímulo a la demanda) para luego vincularlas a un contexto caracterizado por el levantamiento de las restricciones y por el avance del proceso de vacunación, rasgos que motorizaron los índices de recuperación turística a partir del segundo semestre de 2021. Se demuestra que, aunque en esta reactivación se evidencia el reimpulso del turismo doméstico, el internacional continúa muy por debajo de los niveles prepandémicos. El texto concluye con una serie de discusiones acerca del impacto de las políticas implementadas en Argentina.

As human-snake encounters become increasingly frequent, snake rescuers play a significant role in protectingboth snakes and humans. To improve the procedures of snake rescues in human-dominated areas and ensuregreater accountability, providing structured protocols and establishing evidence-based snake-human encounter managementis increasingly important. Herein we analyze snake rescues in and around the Kali Tiger Reserve, Karnataka,India, to identify trends and document the diversity of snake species encountered in human-dominated landscapes.Snake rescues by the Forest Department staff of the Kali Tiger Reserve from 2012 to 2022 involved 31 species in 22genera, with Ptyas (29.3%), Naja (21.7%), Chrysopelea (9.9%), and Python (9.7%) being the most frequently rescued.The numbers of frequently rescued species is indicative of the overall quality of habitat, whereas the frequency of rescuesof near-threatened species in the genera Python (278 rescues) and Eryx (54 rescues) demonstrates the importanceof implementing effective conservation policies. We also highlight the need for proper record-keeping of rescues forfurther research and decision-making, monitoring survival of translocated individuals, and the need for educationalawareness programs about threatened and venomous snakes directed to the area’s human populations.

Published: January 2024

Background. Important task is determining the long-term consequences of colorectal anastomotic leakage. Leakage with clinical manifestations leads to a higher frequency of local recurrences of rectal cancer and increases the severity of manifestations of low anterior resection syndrome. How does the leakage of colorectal anastomosis affect the period before the closure of loop stoma?

Aim. To determine the influence of anastomotic leakage on the term before closing the ileostomy.

Methods. In this retrospective incomparable study were included 618 patients with rectal cancer who had been underwent anterior or low anterior resection with formation colorectal anastomosis and loop stoma.

Results. Colorectal anastomotic leakage was detected in 86 from 618 patients (13.9 %). The loop stoma was closed in 513 from 618 (83 %) patients. The time to the preventive stoma closure in patients with anastomotic leakage was significantly higher than in patients without anastomotic leakage, p = 0.001. Reconstructive surgery in patients without anastomotic leakage was performed in 9 months after anterior resection. The median time before the stoma closure of patients with X – ray anastomosis leakage was 11 months, with clinical leakage – 17 months, p <0.001.

Conclusion. Colorectal anastomotic leakage statistically increases the term before ileostomy closure.

Aim. To evaluate the clinical significance of survivin (BIRC5) mRnA expression in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and tumor material from colorectal cancer (CRC).

Materials and methods. The study was organized according to the principle of a continuous prospective non-randomized study. The expression of survivin (BIRC5) mRnA in CTCs and tumor material was determined using RT-pCR.

Results. The study included 130 patients (study group – 109 patients with colorectal cancer and observation group – 21 patients with colon adenomas). All patients underwent complete tumor removal (radical surgery – 93.6 %), cytoreductive – 6.4 %).

A high level of survivin (BIRC5) mRnA expression was detected in colorectal adenocarcinoma in comparison with adenomas (pMann–whitney < 0.001) M ± SD (1.678 ± 2.45 and 0.023 ± 0.07). In the study and observation group, the expression of survivin mRnA (BIRC5) in CTCs both before surgery M ± SD (1.175 ± 1.33 and 0.052 ± 0.11) and after 3 months M ± SD (1.015 ± 0.93 and 0.018 ± 0.002) was significantly different (pMann–whitney <0.001).

During adjuvant chemotherapy, a decrease in the level of survivin expression in CTCs was observed (p 9 months after surgery, CTCs remain in the bloodstream even despite adjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.015 and p = 0.012). Overexpression of survivin in CTCs before surgery correlates with damage to regional lymph nodes (p = 0.03, r = 0.21), stage of the tumor process (p = 0.01, r = 0.25), degree of tumor differentiation (p = 0.03, r = 0.21). Overexpression of survivin in CTCs 9 months after surgery significantly affects relapse-free survival HR (95 % CI HR) = 3.1 (95 % CI 1.56–6,08, p = 0.0012) and overall survival of patients HR (95 % CI HR) =6.8 (95 % CI 2.65–17.33, p = 0.0001).

Conclusions. Overexpression of survivin mRnA in colorectal cancer is a negative prognosis factor for the disease and directly depends on the tumor involvement of regional lymph nodes, the stage of the disease, degree of tumor differentiation, promoting the development of disease relapse, and can be used to diagnose minimal residual disease (MRD) and assess the prognosis of overall patient survival.

Published: January 2024

A review of the literature concerning the issue of changing the phenotype of breast cancer during treatment is presented. In the Russian Federation, breast cancer (breast cancer) occupies a leading position in the structure of morbidity and mortality of female oncological diseases. Many retrospective studies have reported changes in the expression of bio-markers in surgical samples after neoadjuvant therapy. The study of changes in biological subtypes can change approaches to therapy and contribute to an increase in survival rates in such patients. Based on these data, we can talk about the need for repeated assessments of the tumor biotype during treatment, which contributes to an optimal and personalized approach to breast cancer therapy.

The technology of blended learning is one of the most promising in today's society. This article expands the notion of blended learning, discusses its history and stages of development in the world. As a result of an analysis of the genesis and history of the emergence and development of blended learning the author reveals its features at each stage of development in the world system of higher education. The main reasons for the emergence of blended learning in the educational process. At the same time the main historical moments, which formed the basic principles of its development technology of blended learning in today's conditions. The author's permutation of the formation and development of the system of mixed learning in the world and Ukraine in particular. The paper outlines the conditions for the use of digital educational resources as an inseparable and very important component of blended learning. It is shown that their features that emerge from the general properties of digital media, which distinguish them from printed materials and give them low historical advantages. In mixed learning environments, digital resources acquire entirely new didactic properties: diversity of forms of educational information presentation and multimedia; concentration, diversity and variability, and as a result, variability; interactivity; flexibility and adaptability. It is shown what types of digital educational resources and online services are actively used at the current stage of development of blended learning technologies. It has been announced that digital resources can be used in blended learning as well as those created by the teachers themselves. However, it is recommended that preference be given to integrated electronic resources which combine educational content and tools for organizing the educational process. However, blended learning is an advanced educational technology that has broad prospects for use and further development. The main reason is that blended learning, when properly and fully applied, leads to the formation of valuable qualities of a person, which are also known as skills of the XXI century: Critical thinking, ability to choose reliable data sources and select information necessary for problem solving; creativity, the ability to creatively rethink the information available, to synthesise new ideas and solutions; teamwork, the ability to interact productively with others, to find like-minded people and form teams; the desire to learn and grow throughout life; the ability to make decisions and be responsible for them, etc.
Citation Fall Index (CFI): An Indicator to Measure the Centripetal Nature of Accretion of Citation
Authors: Dutta Bidyarthi
Published: January 2024

That citation attracts citation and fairly-cited items quickly become highly-cited, whereas poorly-cited or uncited items are hardly cited even after a long span is a known phenomenon referred to as the ‘Cumulative Advantage’ process (“Success breeds success”). The citation distribution always shows a highly skewed pattern to a very small number of core groups. This paper has proposed a fundamental formula to measure the change in relative fall in citation count with a corresponding change in the ranking of different kinds of cited items (author, journal, article, etc.). Two new indicators are mathematically developed here, the names given to which are, Relative Citation Fall (RCF) and Citation Fall Index (CFI). These indicators will be tested for different kinds of cited items in different subject domains to quantitatively measure citation skewness in future studies.

The impact of presidential elections on changes in the party system in Poland
Authors: Jagielski Tomasz
Published: January 2024

The aim of the article is to present the impact of presidential elections on the formation of the power structure within the party system in Poland. This analysis tries to highlight the impact of presidential elections on the party scene while emphasizing the rank of the presidential elections. The expediency of the participation of political parties in the election of the head of state does not boil down to achieving victory. These elections also fulfil a number of other functions for them, leading with the mobilization of the electorate and their own party structures. The author presents the specifics of the impact of presidential elections on the party system in such areas as: systemic influence, inter-party rivalry, as well as the formation of the internal situation of the party. The scope of this article does not cover the 1990 presidential elections. This is mainly due to the non-crystallised involvement of political parties in the presidential election. For this reason, the analysis has been limited to the presidential elections since 1995.
Entre libros y ajuares: sociabilidad femenina en la Sociedad Protectora de Infancia (La Plata, Argentina, 1905-1920)
Authors: Fiebelkorn Ayelén
Published: January 2024

En 1905, un grupo de educadoras fundó la Sociedad Protectora de la Infancia de La Plata, Argentina, con el propósito de proveer a estudiantes pobres de alimento, vestimenta y libros. Para eso, la asociación auspició una biblioteca, que enseguida se contó entre las más concurridas de la ciudad.

El hecho de que la sociedad y su biblioteca anexa fuera dirigida exclusivamente por un núcleo de educadoras, resulta un aspecto distintivo de su trayectoria en un contexto en que las bibliotecas populares solían ser dirigidas por elencos masculinos.

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el papel de la Sociedad en tanto ámbito de sociabilidad femenino, examinando para eso las prácticas, tanto tradicionales como novedosas, llevadas adelante por sus socias. En décadas caracterizadas por la exclusión femenina de los derechos civiles y políticos, se concluirá que la experiencia asociativa catapultó ciertas formas innovadoras de participación femenina en la esfera pública.

Published: January 2024

Con el apoyo de Gobiernos e instituciones de investigación de América Latina y el Caribe, desde el BID desarrollamos en 2020 la Red de Análisis y Buenas Prácticas en Asociaciones Público-Privadas (Red APP), con el objetivo de mejorar el desarrollo de infraestructura en la región en términos de calidad, sostenibilidad, competitividad, y eficiencia. La Red APP nace con el objetivo de A) conectar las demandas públicas de conocimiento con la investigación aplicada desarrollada (en otras palabras, que los trabajos analíticos en materia de APPs respondan a lo que los desarrolladores de políticas y proyectos quieren saber sobre qué funciona y qué no); B) sistematizar la información: mediante la generación de información sistematizada para el análisis de proyectos, desde las decisiones de inversión hasta las de financiamiento; C) generar y coordinar la evidencia existente: mediante el desarrollo de trabajos analíticos a partir de información pública disponible generada por la red, así como conectar la investigación aplicada regional para potenciar sinergias en la generación de conocimiento. A partir de una Consulta Pública a Gobiernos de la región, se determinaron una serie de temas de interés comunes en el desarrollo de infraestructura mediante APP en torno a cinco grandes áreas: Regulación e Institucionalidad, Factibilidad y Estructuración de Proyectos Sostenibles, Financiamiento de Proyectos, Gestión de Riesgos y Monitoreo, y Evaluación, Desempeño e Impacto. El presente trabajo “Evaluación comparativa en costos y plazos de proyectos de inversión de infraestructura hospitalaria mediante Asociación Pública-Privada y Obra Pública Tradicional: el caso de Chile” responde a dicha demanda y ha sido seleccionado dentro del área de Evaluación, Desempeño e Impacto, a través de una convocatoria competitiva de propuestas.

Published: January 2024

Unlike in other policy areas, responsibility for gender policy is distributed throughout the entire structure of the State. However, in order to coordinate and make public action on the gender equality agenda more effective, several countries in the region have created ministerial structures to promote and implement cross-cutting gender policies. This document discusses the importance of this institutionalization process, the role of the Ministries of Women and how they can be strengthened to achieve more and better outcomes in the region.

Demanda y brechas de talento digital en Costa Rica
Authors: Novella Rafael , Rosas-Shady David
Published: January 2024

La evidencia sobre las brechas de talento digital en Costa Rica, cómo en el resto de América Latina y el Caribe, es escaza, dispersa, y carece del nivel de detalle suficiente para guiar el diseño de soluciones por parte de las empresas privadas y el sector público. Para resolver este problema, el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo ha desarrollado y viene implementado en varios países de la región la Encuesta sobre Talento Digital. Este documento presenta los principales resultados de la implementación de la encuesta entre un grupo de más de 400 empresas de Costa Rica; analiza su nivel de transformación digital, pone en evidencia la existencia de una importante brecha entre la demanda de habilidades digitales de las empresas y la oferta de habilidades digitales de la fuerza laboral; cuantifica la demanda por perfiles TI; e identifica las principales estrategias y dificultades que enfrentan las empresas para atender sus necesidades de talento digital. El documento también resalta las diferencias más relevantes entre las empresas locales y las de inversión extranjera directa; entre las empresas que están dentro y fuera de la Gran Área Metropolitana, y entre las que están dentro y fuera de las Zonas Francas. Además, presenta recomendaciones sobre las políticas que se podrían implementar para reducir estas brechas.
What Works to Improve Lives?: What Works to Promote Forest Conservation, Environmental Sustainability, and Climate Resilience
Authors: Corral Leonardo
Published: January 2024

This publication is one of a five-monograph series produced by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to take stock of the lessons learned from impact evaluations of investments supported by the IDB Group for over a decade across a wide range of economic and social development sectors. As regional interest in mitigating and adapting to climate change continues to increase, there is an ever-growing demand to identify effective policies to (1) stem deforestation, (2) promote growth with sustainability, and (3) enhance the climate resilience of affected populations. This monograph summarizes the evidence from impact evaluations carried out by the IDB over the last decade on each of these three themes to identify policies and programs that work, enhance the use of rigorous evidence for decision-making, and ultimately improve the lives of the people of Latin America and the Caribbean.

What Strategic Planning Methods are Most Related to Higher Capacity Organizations: An Empirical Investigation
Authors: Evans Crystal A. , Reid Margaret F. , McNerney Denise
Published: January 2024

Considering the controversy around strategic planning effectiveness for nonprofits, we first ask, “Does strategic planning matter?”. A survey was administered to 1,256 nonprofit organizations to determine a. their capacity to plan and b. what strategic planning processes they used. Using regression analysis, it was found that the presence of a strategic plan acted as a statistically significant indicator of higher organizational capacity. Next, strategic methods were evaluated to determine which ones were associated with higher capacity scores. This research makes two main contributions. First, it enhances, using a large national sample the academic debate as to the usefulness of strategic planning. Second, for practitioners, this research demonstrates which strategic methods were found to be associated with the highest performing organizations, using our capacity indicator. Based on these findings we believe that nonprofit managers can optimize their resources and focus on those methods that provide them with the highest return on their strategic efforts. Additionally, nonprofit faculty now have data to suggest what strategic planning methods should be taught in our classrooms.

Modelamiento mediante ecuaciones estructurales (PLS-SEM) de factores clave de la transformación digital
Authors: Meza Bernaola Edwin Claudio , Quiñones Peinado Florencio , Torres López Casio Aurelio
Published: January 2024

El propósito del estudio fue analizar los factores relevantes que intervienen en la transformación digital de las organizaciones. Para ello, fue necesario revisar estudios previos, así como realizar la construcción de un modelo con su consecuente validación de hipótesis. Esta investigación es explicativa, y tiene un diseño no experimental y transversal. El estudio se realizó en negocios textiles y de confecciones de la ciudad de Huancayo, que venían realizando sus ventas por medio de internet y habían incorporado tecnologías digitales. Los resultados permitieron identificar que factores como el talento y la tecnología afectan directamente el desempeño digital. Por otro lado, los directivos y la cultura, factores que reflejan su importancia en el proceso de transformación digital de las organizaciones, influyen de manera indirecta en el desempeño digital (por medio de otras variables). Es de suma importancia recalcar que se identificaron factores clave que intervienen en el proceso de transformación digital y su forma de interacción, lo cual representa información valiosa a considerar en el momento de elaborar un plan estratégico con el objetivo de realizar una migración digital exitosa en la organización.
