Educational intervention to reduce the focal point of the Aedes Aegypti mosquito. Medical Clinic 61. Policlínico Luis Augusto Turcios Lima
Authors: Capote Serrano Rigoberto , Ramírez Guzmán Sandra
Published: June 2024

An action research was carried out with the objective of evaluating an educational intervention to reduce the Aedes Aegypti mosquito outbreak in the medical office 61, belonging to the Luis A. Turcios Lima Polyclinic, in the period from September 2020 to June 2022. The universe consisted of 300 families and the sample consisted of 270 families selected by purposive sampling. The following variables were used: mosquito infestation index, intradomiciliary and extradomiciliary environment, entomological and epidemiological component, intradomiciliary, entomological and epidemiological environmental indicators, sanitary culture of the families and the level of knowledge of the patients about arbovirosis. The infestation rate after the action plan decreased. Most of the families had an acceptable intradomiciliary and extradomiciliary environment. In relation to the entomological component and the epidemiological component after the intervention, more than half of the families were found to be at low risk. Regarding the intradomiciliary and extradomiciliary environmental indicators, a preponderance of unprotected water tanks was observed during the study period, an element that subsequently improved. There was a greater predominance of entomological and epidemiological indicators during the period before the educational intervention, which decreased after the intervention. Sanitary culture was, for the most part, regular. The level of knowledge was inadequate in the majority of the families before the action plan; subsequently, the adequate level of knowledge was predominant.

Authors: Araújo Wanessa Roberta , Andres Solai Cibele
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are a serious public health problem with a high impact on patients' quality of life, as well as being responsible for high costs. According to the World Health Organization, it is estimated that by 2030 approximately 23.6 million deaths will be caused by this set of diseases. With the aim of prolonging patients' lives and improving their quality of life, surgical treatment of cardiac comorbidities is performed to correct functional or structural abnormalities, with myocardial revascularization being the most common cardiac surgery in the world. These types of surgeries are highly complex procedures and require highly qualified nursing care based on the scientific method and operationalized by the nursing process, which has as its fundamental stage the survey of Nursing Diagnoses (ND), a clinical judgment that allows the evaluation of patients' responses to the therapy instituted, in addition to directing interventions at all stages of care. Objectives: To describe the most frequent nursing diagnoses in the postoperative period of heart surgery in adult patients according to the NANDA Taxonomy - I 2018 - 2023. Method: A literature review was carried out using publications freely available in Portuguese and published between 2018 and 2023 in the Pubmed, Scielo, Virtual Health Library and Google Scholar databases. Results: 10 studies were analyzed, which allowed us to identify that the most frequent EDs in the post-operative phase belonged to the domains of safety and protection, activity and rest, comfort, nutrition, elimination and exchange, listed in order of greatest occurrence: Impaired skin and tissue integrity, impaired physical and bed mobility, risk of falls, risk of infections, acute pain, risk of fluid volume imbalance, risk of bleeding, risk of delayed surgical recovery, risk of decreased cardiac output, risk of aspiration, impaired spontaneous ventilation, deficit in self-care for bathing and hygiene, impaired sleep pattern and risk of constipation. Conclusions: The identification of EDs is a fundamental step in the systematization of care because it directs interventions more assertively, allowing the expected results to be achieved based on patient safety and the prevention of complications, favoring the patient's rapid recovery and early dehospitalization.

The substitute indemnity for the old-age pension stands as an economic benefit for the worker who failed to comply with the number of weeks required by the Law for the recognition of the old-age pension, having to profess Law 100 of 1993, erected a General Pension System divided into a medium premium regime with a defined benefit administered by the Colombian Pension Administrator – COLPENSIONES; and, an individual savings scheme with solidarity, where a group of private fund insurers proliferate. Now, the aforementioned norm established in article 151, that the General Pension System would enter into force for public servants at the departmental, municipal and district level as of June 30, 1995 (Law 100, 1993), therefore, in advance As of that date, this charge was at the head of the social security funds of the territorial entities, finding that some of them were not affiliated to said funds or despite being, the benefit was denied when it was specified that the introduction of this benefit did not applied to such employees. Thus, it is important from the pronouncements of the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court of Justice, the contrast that is presented in the subject in question will be established, since it has been indicated by the aforementioned corporations that rights such as social security by the government of Caldas, by not recognizing the substitute compensation for employees terminated prior to June 30, 1995.

Collective Wisdom and the Fermi Method: Improving the Accuracy of Deliberative Groups
Authors: Barrera-Lemarchand Federico , Lescano-Charreau Victoria , Ruiz Julieta , Cáceres Nuria , Carrillo Facundo , Navaja Joaquín
Published: June 2024

Understanding the conditions under which groups of people perform better than independent individuals is a fundamental challenge in the social and psychological sciences.(1,2) A central phenomenon in this field is the "wisdom of crowds" (the aggregate of independent estimates can be more accurate than the best individual judgment),(3,4) used in various areas, including politics(5), health(6), and business(7). While previous research suggests that group deliberation improves the accuracy of crowds, the mechanisms behind this remain unclear.(8) This study addresses this question by analyzing the use of the "Fermi method" in groups (breaking down complex questions into simpler ones and combining their solutions to reach the final answer).(9) A first study with 130 groups of 4 participants interacting in chat rooms (N=520) confirmed that group estimates are more accurate than individual ones, especially in those groups that use the Fermi method. This result was obtained by analyzing written discussions, both with human evaluators and automated methods. A second study (N=240) provided causal evidence of this phenomenon by explicitly requesting that some groups use the Fermi method, while asking others to employ estimation aggregation strategies. A third study (N=160) showed that collectively employing the Fermi method leads to superior improvement compared to using it individually. In summary, these results provide causal evidence that collectively employing the Fermi method improves group estimates, promoting its application in various domains, through either explicit instructions or automated detection methods

Published: June 2024

Political polarisation and the empowerment of the libertarian right is a pressing problem in today's democracies. Previous studies have shown a gender gap in support for the libertarian right, with young male populations standing out(1,2). In turn, these right-wingers reproduce hateful, anti-rights, or outright anti-feminist discourses(3), based on biologicist perspectives.Our paper presents results of dataset analysis obtained during the 2019 (4) and 2023 presidential elections. The relationship between political ideology (PI) and age and gender identity was analysed. Using a Multinomial Model, the 2019 PASO base (n=2105) showed significance for the interaction age and gender, with 75% of the population of right-wing males aged 15-30 (compared to 45% of females in the same age range). For the general election (n=1172) the gap was smaller but still males perceived themselves to be more right-wing. The 2023 general election base (n=1380) showed that men were significantly more conservative and right-wing, with the 15-30 age range standing out. They were also closer to Milei (age range 15-45), while women were closer to Bregman. For the Ballotage base (n=1270), it was observed that men were more right-wing than women, but in this case a right-wing population of women aged 30-45 stood out, close to Milei.These results allow us to identify populations that are receptive to right-wing libertarian ideas. Although it remains to be analysed more factors that condition the predilection of young men for a right-wing proposal, as well as to evaluate the discourses that appeal to these populations, the gender gap in the population suggests that these are positions that are contrary to women's rights and dissidence won by feminism
Languages, disciplines, and prefixes: implications and scope of multi, inter, and trans thought
Authors: Céspedes Lucía
Published: June 2024

This presentation sought to reflect upon the prefixes historically used to name those entities which cannot be bounded to a single, fixed, discreet category. Contributions from Linguistics were taken as a starting point to then extrapolate its concepts to the analysis of scientific practice in general. Thus, first, different conceptions of linguistic relations were compared and contrasted: from mono to bi, multi, inter, and finally, translingualism, with special attention to power issues, border demarcation, and speaker characterization in each of these paradigms. Second, a correspondence between analogous categories which describe and study contacts among scientific disciplines (multi, inter and transdiscipline) was tried out. Finally, the reach and limitations of applying this linguistic metaphor to the analysis of hybridization and exchanges within the scientific field were assessed, as well as its potential to induce changes in knowledge classification and production practices
The dichotomy between Society and Nature in the Ebro reservoir: Preserving a traditional way of life or prioritising national benefit
Authors: Conde-Oria Francisco
Published: June 2024

The origins of this problem go back to one of the many conflicts between society and nature that the hydrological policies of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Spain caused. The construction of the Ebro reservoir, defended as the most economical work of the time in relation to the volume of the reservoir, was presented as a solution to the frequent droughts in the Ebro valley. The construction of irrigation and power plants promised to boost the country's economy and would mean significant demographic, industrial and commercial growth throughout the area.
Upstream, however, a region inhabited by more than 15,000 people would see everything they had worked for and grown up with disappear under the water. These people, who were mainly livestock farmers, had terraced land with fertile soil, crops, fruit trees, mining and some glass and crystal factories, all of which are in danger of disappearing as a result of the construction of the reservoir.
Lorenzo Pardo, the project's architect, wanted the active participation of the people affected. Although the project had its supporters, it was overwhelmingly opposed by those who saw it as a serious threat to their way of life. The proposed compensation was insufficient to make up for the huge losses in livestock, agriculture, mining, glassmaking and infrastructure, especially roads.
The outcome of the conflict, after many twists and turns, ended with the water covering everything in its path after a civil war that left the country in a complicated situation. Many of those neighbours are no longer alive to recount their experiences, but the story lives on in the minds of the few neighbours who still resist in the surrounding area, and in the remnants that appear each time the level of the reservoir drops
Intersectional inequalities of representation and research topics in science
Authors: Kozlowski Diego , Larivière Vincent , Sugimoto Cassidy R. , Monroe-White Thema
Published: June 2024

The scientific workforce of the United States is mostly composed of white men. Barriers to entry and participation have been well-studied. However, few have adopted an intersectional perspective to examine the consequences of these inequalities in scientific knowledge. In this work, a large-scale bibliometric analysis is provided on the relationship between intersectional identities, research topics, and scientific impact. Using the Web of Science bibliometric database for US publications between 2008 and 2019, an analysis of over and underrepresentation of different racial and gender identities was conducted, as well as their distribution across different disciplines. The findings reveal a marked underrepresentation of women and marginalized racial groups (Latinxs and Black individuals), with women from these identities being the most affected. Additionally, an asymmetric distribution of racial and gender identities across disciplines is observed, with a notable underrepresentation of women in areas such as Physics, Mathematics, and Engineering. Subsequently, the analysis is deepened by modeling research topics in the Social Sciences and Health. The results show that women tend to publish more in topics such as education, nursing, and gender-based violence, while Black authors are overrepresented in studies on racial discrimination and Latinxs in migration and topics related to Latinx bodies. This distribution in different research topics is in turn related to the academic impact each topic entails. Topics where privileged groups are overrepresented are also the most cited on average, while marginalized groups tend to receive fewer citations in all topics.
The animal that therefore we are conserving: conservation biology under the eyes of animality
Authors: Lamberti Matias , Di Pasquo Federico
Published: June 2024

Biodiversity loss has become one of the most relevant issues of our time in the context of environmental crisis. Conservation biology has established itself, since the 1980s, as the scientific field par excellence aimed at addressing this loss(1). Under the argument that their conservation results in a good chance of preserving all forms of life, animal species (particularly large mammals) have become the main focus of conservation. Now, what is the so-called animal that we are conserving? The aim of this presentation is to problematize the conception of the animal in conservation biology, and then to think about what other animalities and ways of linking ourselves are possible. To do so, we will make use of certain approaches offered by the field of critical animal studies, which questions the human/animal dichotomy that leads to an inferiorization of the animal with respect to the human(2,3,4). Thus, we will recover the hypothesis proposed by Jacques Derrida in The animal that therefore I am: generally it is possible to recognize the discourse of experts who, although they have observed and analyzed the animal, have never recognized the gaze of an other who also observes them(5). Through this anthropocentric conception of the animal that would mobilize this field of biology, a hierarchical or speciesist treatment of non-human animals is enabled in conservationist contexts. The challenge, then, will be to rethink conservation biology in order to devise non-speciesist ways of dealing with biodiversity loss

Published: June 2024

Introduction: Music-based interventions in cognitive neuroscience research have gained prominence.(1,2) Previous studies have shown that musical perception following learning impacts consolidation, improving long-term memory.(3,4,5,6) Additionally, it has been evidenced that social context affects the emotional experience induced through music, generating more intense positive emotions.(7) The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of musical perception and social context on the consolidation of emotional memory in adults.Methodology: Sixty-four participants aged between 20 and 50 years (M = 26.08, SD = 1.22) viewed 36 images (positive, negative, and neutral), and then were assigned to one of four conditions for three minutes: listening to an activating piece of music alone; or with company; silence alone; or with company. Long and short memory was evaluated, and other variables such as liking and familiarity with the music were assessed.Results: There was a trend for groups that listened to music to have a better memory of positive images compared to groups that were in silence. Additionally, a positive correlation was found between musical liking and memory of positive images.Conclusions: Listening to music with company may improve the memory of emotional images similar to what occurs when listening alone. It is necessary to confirm this by controlling context variables such as musical choice, the application of the protocol in-person, and the bond with the company

Authors: Castiglione Paloma
Published: June 2024

The purpose of this paper was to understand, based on a theoretical discussion, why Argentina used STI policy instruments to strengthen the strategic health sector, especially that of Public Production of Medicines (PPM). To this end, first, a brief introduction to the problem was made and the research question that guided the analysis was presented. Next, the political motives for innovation intervention were explored, with special emphasis on the relevance of the policy of non-neutral intervention. Thirdly, the notion of policy instrument applied to the fields of science, technology and innovation (STI) was defined, introducing its typology, to finally identify its impact on PPM in order to obtain indications of the motives that would justify the definition of STI policy instruments aimed at strengthening an area considered strategic at the national level.

Leptospirosis and dengue are zoonotic diseases that share some risk factors, necessitating interdisciplinary approaches for a comprehensive understanding. Santa Fe City exhibits environmental and social conditions conducive to the transmission of both diseases. The objective of this study was to characterize the epidemiological, biological, and socio-cultural potential risk factors in Alto Verde. A survey of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) was conducted alongside serological analysis for antibodies, and detection of vectors and reservoirs. Rodent sampling involved the placement of hair traps in four transects in December 2023, followed by live-trapping in February 2024 (totaling 88 trap-nights per sampling). Eight mosquito sampling points were established, each comprising 5 houses. Sampling involved recording the number of potential breeding sites, collecting and quantifying Aedes larvae and utilizing two Prokopack-type vacuums for collecting adults. A total of 126 neighbors responded the questionnaire and 102 serum samples were obtained. Dengue seroprevalence was determined by ELISA IgG test; 10% samples were positive; analysis of Leptospira seroprevalence is ongoing. Positive hair traps accounted for 49% of the tubes used and rodents captured were nine mice and two rats. Mosquito data showed great variation among sampling points in the number of breeding sites recorded (47-248), and in Aedes larvae (23-241) and adults (3-15) collected, indicating the presence of hotspots in the sampling area. High dengue antibody prevalence in the surveyed areas correlated with numerous potential breeding sites. Rodent infestation was substantial, and surveys indicated a lack of leptospirosis awareness among the population, contrasting with their knowledge of dengue
Key Elements of Risk Management in Islamic Quality Management System: An Analysis on MS 1900:2014 Standard
Authors:   Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia (IKIM), Malaysia, Mohamad Muhammad Hisyam
Published: June 2024

MS 1900:2014 Sharīʿah-based Quality Management Systems-Requirements with Guidance (First Revision) or MS 1900:2014 is the Islamic version of the ISO 9001. Compared to ISO 9001:2015-Quality Management Systems (ISO 9001:2015), which is characterised by “risk-based thinking,” the aspect of risk management is not given due focus in MS 1900:2014. Instead, the focus is more on efforts to improve governance and organisational efficiency as outlined by Islamic principles. However, since MS 1900:2014 makes Sharīʿah as the main basis of its certification requirements, the element of risk management is definitely implicit in the standard. This is because in an effort to ensure its objective, i.e., realisation of benefits (taḥqīq al-maṣlaḥah) is achieved, the Sharīʿah uses the approach of promoting what is good and beneficial (jalb al-maṣlaḥah) and preventing what is evil and harmful (dafʿ al-mafsadah). Therefore, although it does not clearly state the concept of risk management in the standard, any organisation that uses MS 1900:2014 may also achieve the advantages of risk management if they adopt the standard. Thus, by using content analysis method, this article seeks to analyse and describe the requirements implicitly related to the aspect of risk management contained in the MS 1900:2014 standard. Based on the analysis of the certification requirements, it was found that MS 1900:2014 indeed has riskbased characteristics even though this is not clearly stated in the standard document. Therefore, if the MS 1900 is implemented correctly by any company, it will not only achieve efficiency and effectiveness in organisation management but also can further improve its risk management capabilities.

There has been little or no action on key recommendations in govt’s 2017 action plan for prevention and control of common non-communicable diseases which seek strict regulation of advertising, marketing and promotion of unhealthy food to children. Seven years on, there is no regulation on what the plan described as “unchallenged aggressive marketing strategies” of food and beverage companies.
Promotion of unhealthy foods high in fat, salt and sugar (HFSS) came into focus recently when Supreme Court talked of expanding a petition on Patanjali’s misleading ads to include misleading ads “taking the public for a ride, in particular, adversely affecting health and well being of babies, young children, women... who have been consuming the products on the basis of misrepresentation”.

This paper examines nutritional therapy’s (NT) critical role in transforming the aging process and challenges the idea that deteriorating health and loss of autonomy are inevitable outcomes. NT is an organized strategy grounded in scientific principles that use tailored dietary modifications to enhance health outcomes and target certain age-related disorders. Essential nutrients substantially strengthen cellular resilience and the ability to withstand oxidative stress, underscoring the need for a varied and comprehensive diet. NT addresses the physiological effects of aging through dietary adjustments, alleviating cognitive deterioration, and managing malnutrition and frailty. This approach fosters an active and independent lifestyle in older adults. In addition to their considerable calcium content, dairy products play a crucial role in anti-aging measures by supplying necessary nutrients. They enhance cognitive health, bolster immunological function, and promote a balanced gut flora, augmenting their capacity to decelerate aging. Microelements, vitamins, and proteins are recognized as crucial components in anti-aging nutrition. The text emphasizes the intricate equilibrium necessary for cellular resilience and the substantial effect of vitamins on diverse anti-aging mechanisms. Consuming protein of higher quality has been demonstrated to be essential for preserving muscle mass and improving overall metabolic function. Advocacy is given to the necessity of a nutritious and well-balanced diet specifically designed to meet the distinct nutritional requirements of elderly individuals. The strategy stresses maintaining a balanced energy intake, selectively including helpful nutrients, and tailoring the plan to address individual health needs.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Ayancık ve yakın çevresinin sahip olduğu çeşitli turizm potansiyellerini ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda ilk olarak literatür taraması ile kavramsal çerçevesi ele alınmıştır. İkinci olarak, Ayancık ilçesiyle ilgili mevcut durumun belirlenmesi için bölgeye haziran ayında 3 günlük saha gezisi düzenlenmiş ve mevcut turizm varlıkları yerinde incelenmiştir. Ayancık ilçesi Sinop ilinin kültürel, doğal ve ekoturizm zenginliği olan ve bunların turizm potansiyelinin ön plana çıkmadığı ilçesidir. Bu bağlamda, Ayancık ilçesinin sahip olduğu kültürel ve doğal güzellikleri ortaya çıkarmak ve bunların tanıtımını yapmak bölgeye gelecek olan potansiyel turistler açısından önem arz etmektedir. Araştırmanın sonuçlarına göre, Ayancık ve çevresindeki tarihi ve somut kültürel varlıklar ile doğal güzellikler, bölgenin turizm potansiyelini belirleyen güçlü unsurlar olarak belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, ulaşım imkanlarının yetersizliği, yolların bakımsızlığı ve iletişim kanallarındaki olumsuzluklar gibi faktörler, bölgenin turizm açısından eksik ve zayıf yönlerini oluşturmaktadır. Ayancık çevresindeki coğrafi yapılar ve kültürel unsurlar, İnaltı Mağarası, İnaltı Kanyonu, Akgöl Yaylası, Stefan (İstefan) Koyu, Otmanlı Çeşmesi gibi doğal zenginliklerin yanı sıra geleneksel mimari örneklerini barındıran köyler ve şehir merkezinde bulunan Çangal ve Belçika evleri, Tarihi Askerlik Şubesi, Archangelos Kilisesi ve Tarihi Yalı Cami gibi belirgin kültürel miras unsurları bölgenin turizm potansiyelindeki çeşitliliğini göstermektedir. Bölgedeki turizm çeşitliliğinin etkili bir şekilde tanıtılması ve pazarlanması, turizm hedeflerine hızlı bir şekilde ulaşmayı sağlayacaktır
ÇORUM TARİHİ COĞRAFYASINA KATKI: KARAHİSAR-I DEMİRLİ NAHİYESİ’NDE NÜFUS VE YERLEŞME
Authors: Yazar Hakan , Bozkuş Mehmet Ali
Published: June 2024

Osmanlı idari taksimatında Çorum Sancağına bağlı bir nahiye konumundaki Karahisar-ı Demirli bugüne ulaşmamış bir yerleşim alanıdır. Nahiyenin merkezi günümüzde Çorum’un merkez köylerinden Kalehisar yakınlarında yer almakta olup söz konusu yerleşim yerine ait bina kalıntıları Kalehisar ve Mahmudiye Köyleri civarında halen gözlemlenebilmektedir. Karahisar-ı Demirli Nahiyesinin kapladığı idari alan ise bahsi geçen iki köy ile sınırlı olmayıp onlarca köyü ve mezrayı kapsamaktaydı. Söz konusu köyler ve mezraların bir kısmı zaman içerisinde yok olurken bazıları ise günümüze kadar varlığını sürdürmüştür. Günümüzde Çorum, Alaca, Sungurlu, Boğazkale ve Uğurludağ ilçelerine bağlı olarak yaşamaya devam eden bu köyler Osmanlı döneminde Karahisar-ı Demirli Nahiyesinin bir parçası konumundaydılar.
Yapılacak çalışma kapsamında, günümüze ulaşmamış bir nahiye olan Karahisar-ı Demirli’nün kapsadığı idari alan, Osmanlıların vergi gelirlerini hesaplamak ve kayda geçirmek için belirli aralıklarla tuttukları tahrir defteri adı verilen bir çeşit nüfus ve arazi sayımlarından hareketle ortaya konulacaktır. Bu bağlamda ilgili nahiyenin günümüze ulaşan üç adet mufassal tahrir defteri incelenecektir. Fatih Sultan Mehmed, Kanuni Sultan Süleyman ve III. Murad’ın ilk saltanat yıllarında tutulan mufassal defterlerden hareketle Karahisar-ı Demirli Nahiyesinin tarihsel coğrafyası ortaya konulduktan sonra; 1455-1576 yılları arasındaki dönemde bölgedeki nüfus ve yerleşim özellikleri ele alınacaktır. Bu bağlamda çalışmaya konu olan yaklaşık 120 yıllık dönemde Karahisar-ı Demirli’de köylerin ve mezraların gelişimi hakkında kapsamlı açıklamalarda bulunulup nahiye merkezi ve kırsal yerleşimlerdeki yaklaşık nüfus hesaplanacaktır. Ayrıca tahrir defterlerindeki kayıtlardan hareketle nahiyede yerleşen boylar, cemaat ve aşiretlerin kimler olduğundan bahsedilecektir. Çalışma kapsamında son olarak Karahisar-ı Demirli Nahiyesindeki nüfus miktarı ve nüfus hareketleri aynı dönemdeki Çorum Sancağının merkez nahiyesi ile mukayese edilecektir. Bu suretle Karahisar-ı Demirli’nün ele alınan dönemdeki içtimai ve iktisadi durumu incelenecektir.
El control de la inconstitucionalidad por omisión en perspectiva comparada
Authors: Santizo Santos Marylin Lourdes
Published: June 2024

La inconstitucionalidad por omisión es un tema complejo y, la misma, surge de la ausencia de leyes esenciales que la misma Constitución ha considerado necesarias y de las que dicta su creación, pero que el Organismo Legislativo no ha creado. Es sencillo identificar cuando un problema jurídico surge de una omisión inconstitucional, pues cumple con ciertos criterios fáciles de verificar. Sin embargo, aun cuando las omisiones inconstitucionales son evidentes y la superioridad normativa de la Constitución sustenta el control constitucional, el control de las omisiones inconstitucionales se dificulta en sociedades en las que la separación de poderes es fundamental para los procesos democráticos, en especial cuando no existen plazos para atender una carencia legislativa y cuando vincular la omisión a consecuencias jurídicas resulta casi imposible. Derivado del trabajo de investigación documental y del análisis de distintas publicaciones respecto del tema, plasmados en el presente artículo, se concluyó que no es imposible implementar el control de omisiones inconstitucionales, pues ha funcionado con éxito en distintos países, pero muchas veces su implementación responde a intereses meramente políticos y se aplica escasamente en comparación con el interés académico que el tema despierta, siendo que una omisión inconstitucionalidad afecta los derechos fundamentales de la población, que la misma Constitución ha considerado desde un inicio.
