Growth performance of Simmental calves born in different seasons
Authors: Göncü Serap , Sucak Mustafa
Published: July 2024

In this study, the growth performance of Simmental calves born in different seasons in a private farm was emphasised. For this purpose, birth months were used to group calves born within a year, and daily weight gains and birth and weaning weights were compared. Three categories—cool, hot, and cold—were created from the information entered in the enterprise's birth book. An average of 39.28 kg was found to be the birth weight. The hot period between July and September was found to have the lowest birth weight, which was 21,00 kg, while the period between November and February had the highest birth weight, which was 54 kg. In the variance analysis, the differences between the birth weights between the periods were found to be statistically significant at P<0.05. The results of studies conducted recently and under intensive farming conditions are required, as the comparisons revealed higher calf birth and weaning weights.
Synthesis and characterization of imprinted polymers for rare earth recovery
Authors: Alho Miriam Martins , Anghileri Agustín , Pozzoli Valeria
Published: July 2024

This study aims to discover a novel material suitable for rare earth recycling. We explore the efficacy of a physically imprinted copolymer in sequestering cationic lanthanum from aqueous solutions. The copolymerization process with MMA, incorporating lanthanum complexes with an acrylic derivative of neocuproine, facilitates physical crosslinking. Our investigations demonstrate the copolymer's reversible lanthanum binding capability in both batch and column experiments. At laboratory scale, the copolymer achieves an impressive lanthanum retention of approximately 760 mg/g at an initial concentration (C0) of 22 g/L in batch experiments. Regeneration of the material is achieved using HNO3 (c), inducing alterations in its physical state. Nonetheless, subsequent washing with water preserves the copolymer's interaction capacity with lanthanum. Current efforts focus on conserving the material's physical integrity during regeneration to enable in situ regeneration in column experiments.

Authors: Terp Sophie , Ahmed Sameer , Reichert Zach , Calero Kenneth , Sison Olivia , Axeen Sarah , Siddiqui Abeerah , Vontela Neha , Santillanes Genevieve
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) is intended to prevent inadequate, delayed, or denied treatment of emergent conditions by emergency departments (EDs). EMTALA requirements pertain to patients of all ages presenting to dedicated EDs regardless of whether facilities have dedicated pediatric specialty services. This study aims to describe EMTALA-related civil monetary penalty (CMP) settlements involving minors.

METHODS

Descriptions of all EMTALA-related CMPs occurring between 2002 and 2023 were obtained from the Office of the Inspector General web site and reviewed for involvement of minors (<18 years of age) using keywords in settlement summaries. Characteristics of settlements involving minors were described and compared with settlements not involving minors.

RESULTS

Of 260 EMTALA-related CMPs, 38 (14.6%) involved minors. Most involved failure to provide a medical screening exam (MSE) (86.8%) and/or stabilizing treatment (52.6%). Seven (18.4%) involved pregnant minors. Eleven (28.9%) involved ED staff directing a patient (or guardian) to another facility, typically by private vehicle, and another involved 2 patients referred to on-campus outpatient clinics without an MSE.

CONCLUSIONS

One in 7 CMPs related to EMTALA violations involved minors, and 1 in 5 of these minors was pregnant. One-third of CMPs involving minors included ED staff directing patients to proceed to another facility or on-campus clinic without MSE or stabilization. Findings suggest a need for providers to understand EMTALA-specific requirements for appropriate MSE, stabilization, and transfer, and for EDs at hospitals with limited pediatric services to implement policies for the evaluation of minors and protocols for transfer when indicated.
Early Audiometric Intervention in Bacterial Meningitis: Cochlear Implantation in a 10-Week-Old Child

Published: July 2024

Sensorineural hearing loss is a well-known complication of Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis. Given the propensity for fibrosis and ossification of the cochlea in bacterial meningitis, implantation must be performed in a timely fashion because a delayed attempt at implantation can frustrate obtaining an optimal technical result or lead to an inability to implant. Obtaining optimal audiometric outcomes is reliant on early hearing screening in patients with streptococcal meningitis. In the absence of standardized protocols, audiometric testing is often overlooked or delayed in the workup and management of meningitis. Our institution implemented a meningitis protocol with a particular focus on timing of audiometric testing in patients with meningitis. We present a patient diagnosed with streptococcal meningitis in the first week of life. Early hearing screening allowed the diagnosis of profound unilateral sensorineural hearing loss and subsequent cochlear implantation at 10 weeks of age, the youngest described in the medical literature. Despite early implantation, there was cochlear fibrosis at the time of implantation. Fortunately, the majority of electrodes were implanted to achieve a serviceable hearing outcome. Serial magnetic resonance imaging scans were obtained because of her contralateral ventriculoperitoneal shunt that allowed unique visualization of the progression of cochlear fibrosis over time. This case demonstrates the importance of including audiometric testing in a standardized meningitis protocol to diagnose hearing loss in a timely and accurate way and to achieve optimal long-term hearing outcomes.
Výroba zelenej farby v Uhorsku do konca 18. storočia
Authors: Lacko Miroslav
Published: July 2024

Since only a few stable pigment production centres in Central Europe subsisted until the industrial period in the 19th century, those that became regionally known and influenced the European pigment market deserve the attention of historical research. One of the significant European green pigment production centres in the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age was the Banská Bystrica mining district in present day Central Slovakia, the former part of the Lower Hungarian mining area. Production of green copper pigment was carried out continually from the mid-15th century until 1950 at the latest. However, the methods of its application changed over time. While in the Late Middle Ages this green pigment was applied as a colouring matter for objects of art, from the 16th century it was used as a utilitarian colour for coating indoor walls and exterior facades. During the 19th century, the mentioned green pigment (Berggrün) was produced only as a concentrate for the production of copper

Digital Transformation of Continuous Education: Challenges for University IT Infrastructure
Authors: Babin E. N.
Published: July 2024

Promoting the development of the region’s human capital is an inevitable requirement of the digital transformation of higher education, and the implementation of an ecosystem approach in university management becomes a prerequisite for creating mutually beneficial conditions for continuous education. The aim of the article is to analyze the current state of university IT infrastructure in the context of the prospects for creating digital ecosystems that promote the development of continuous education services. The article is of an applied nature. The author applies a combined methodology for analyzing university IT infrastructure, based on the information used: data from the Russian Ministry of Education and Science monitoring from 2018 to 2022, monitoring by MIPT on the effectiveness of university activities, and educational platform content. The study proposes and measures the index of the digital component of academic knowledge, showing its positive dynamics overall for the country amid multidirectional changes in regions. The author draws attention to the lagging indicators of university development monitoring in terms of reflecting IT infrastructure development indicators. The expansion of the digital educational space, the segment of online resources of regional universities on federal platforms, the trend towards consumerization, and the creation of a unified digital environment, along with grant support, make it possible to further develop a regional-level unified integration platform for continuous education. Alongside these positive conditions for digital transformation, the analysis revealed digital infrastructure inequality in regional universities, low population engagement in continuous education, and the most active market positions of non-state educational platforms. The research novelty lies in the comparative analytical assessment of university IT infrastructure from the perspective of supporting continuous education based on an ecosystem approach. The research results can be useful to institutional structures and the academic community for scientifically substantiating the creation and implementation of digital continuous education services.
Graduates of Regional Universities: Educational Practices and Employment Plans
Authors: Loginov D. M. , Yankovskaya M. A. , Yakovlev I. A.
Published: July 2024

Based on survey data conducted by Economy and Continuing Education Center RANEPA in 2023, the models of educational and labor behavior of final-year students of Russian universities are considered. The study is carried out on the basis of a specially developed methodology that allows both to illuminate a wide range of life practices of student youth and to identify the reasons for their differentiation. It has been revealed that the level of resource capabilities of parental families largely determines the directions of behavioral models implemented by young people. It is shown that slightly more than half of the graduates are characterized by a high level of responsibility and diligence in the process of educational preparation; about a third of young people are actively involved in additional education practices. Against the backdrop of fairly high satisfaction with the results of education, the lack of completeness in acquiring competencies applicable in the labor market is most acutely perceived. Among the most developed skills, young people perceive their own independence, the ability to find and analyze necessary information, performance, responsibility, and diligence. By the time of graduation, 60 % of graduates have already gained work experience, and if initial employment in most cases occurred regardless of the actual profile of educational preparation, after completing their studies, all groups of graduates are oriented towards employment related to their specialty. The research results show that the most important aspects of future work for those receiving higher education are the content of work, as well as career growth prospects and income. About 40 % of young people see the possibility of finding a job that satisfies most subjectively important parameters. Significant discrepancies are noted between the demands of graduates regarding an acceptable level of initial remuneration and the size of labor income that young people see as realistic. The obtained results expand the understanding of the processes taking place in the spheres of professional education and youth employment and may be of interest to specialists in these fields.
Stalemates of University Managerialism
Authors: Tomilin O. B.
Published: July 2024

This article presents a problematic characterization of the ideology of university managerialism as a method of managing higher education institutions in the conditions of the “quasi-market” of educational, research, innovative, and other services that have emerged in post-industrial society. The transfer of some rights to universities from organizations in the corporate sector of the economy has led to the stratification of the traditional university community into the salariat – the managerial elite tasked with implementing the founder’s will and directives in the utilization of state investments within the financial constraints of the severely limited funding model – and the “precarious layer” of the faculty. The novelty lies in the delineation and discussion of the fundamental tenets of university managerialism, the operational practices of its promotion, and its correlation with the academic traditions of the university community. The influence of the ideology of university managerialism on the transformation processes occurring in global and Russian higher education is discussed. Such ideologemes of university managerialism as striving for economic eﬃciency of the university, “the road without beginning or end” (Penrose stairs), instrumental thinking, reputation creation and management, and rules of behavior are highlighted and discussed. An analysis of the unintended risks generated by the application of managerial theory in university management is presented. The article may be of interest to senior executives in higher education and the Russian academic community.
REPRESENTATIVIDADE DA MICOLOGIA NA FORMAÇÃO INICIAL EM CIÊNCIAS BIOLÓGICAS: UMA ANÁLISE DOCUMENTAL DE EMENTAS E MATERIAIS DIDÁTICOS
Authors: Barcelos Gabriel Prado , Weiser Veridiana de Lara , Ganiko-Dutra Matheus
Published: July 2024

A Micologia é negligenciada na organização curricular em Ciências Biológicas. A dependência em relação a outras áreas, como a Botânica, contribui para a baixa representatividade dos fungos na formação de biólogos e professores. Esta pesquisa investigou por meio das análises documental e de conteúdo a representatividade da Micologia na formação inicial em Ciências Biológicas. Foram analisados ementas de disciplinas e materiais utilizados como referências bibliográficas. Conclui-se que há inespecificidade e desatualização dos materiais. Ademais, o consenso científico recente na sistemática dos fungos dificulta a introdução de propostas taxonômicas contemporâneas, sendo necessária uma atualização dos materiais indicados na bibliografia dos planos de ensino, destacando aspectos como a sistemática do grupo e o reconhecimento de termos com etimologia independente da Botânica. Há, ainda, a necessidade de disciplinas específicas para o estudo desses organismos e uma maior integração com outras áreas do conhecimento, como Ecologia e Evolução.
Participación política y social del profesorado: Distinciones conceptuales en la literatura académica sobre asociacionismo docente
Authors: Ortiz Mallegas Sebastián , Torres Sánchez Mónica , Barruel Daniela , Brignardello Sofía
Published: July 2024

Introducción. Las sociedades actuales exigen a sus ciudadanías un involucramiento activo en los escenarios sociopolíticos. En este contexto, la educación aparece como espacio fecundo para aprender de participación política, y en ello, el profesorado como un agente clave en esta dinamización. No obstante, al igual que otros ciudadanos, el profesorado vive los desafíos de aprender a participar. Particularmente, este aprendizaje ocurriría en el marco de las asociaciones que son desafías a pensar otras formas de colectivización del profesorado. Objetivo. Este artículo tiene como propósito comprender las relaciones que se establecen en el cuerpo científico entre la participación política y el asociacionismo del profesorado. Metodología. A partir de una revisión sistemática de la literatura en bases científicas Wos y Scopus se analizaron 46 artículos empíricos sobre participación política y social del profesorado y asociacionismo docente entre el 2011 y 2021. Resultados. La revisión muestra un cúmulo importante de artículos que refieren a la participación como una competencia del profesorado, exigiéndose su desempeño en contextos y sobre temáticas diversas; aun cuando participar es un aprendizaje continuo que no se reduce a las instancias universitarias, y que más bien se canaliza en las asociaciones profesionales. Conclusiones. Se discuten las implicancias de este modo de participación para el profesorado y el vínculo con el asociacionismo docente en un contexto global que ha construido un discurso de ineficacia y fractura asociativa.
Biotic Stress Tolerant Rice Variety with Enhanced Method of Gene Pyramiding
Authors: Mahima Tiwari , Ashish Padwar , Jitendra Malviya
Published: July 2024

Rice, as a staple food crop, faces various difficulties from biotic burdens like sicknesses, bugs, and weeds. Customary raising strategies have shown a halfway outcome in creating rice arrangements with a thorough battle against numerous biotic burdens. The superbiotic elements that lessen rice efficiency are bacterial curse (BB) and organism-impact diseases. The potential for yield of the rice varieties must be developed by including genes for biotic stress resistance if yield improvements in rice are to be sustained. This research paper aims to explore innovative methods of gene pyramiding to upgrade biotic stress, and resilience in rice varieties. We examine the standards and headways in quality pyramiding procedures, including sub-atomic markers, and determination on marker-helped and genome-altering apparatuses, to stack numerous opposition qualities proficiently. By utilizing these methods, we propose a clever methodology for raising rice assortments with upgraded biotic pressure patience. In this review, two principal BB (Xa21 and xa13) and two critical impact obstruction qualities (Pi54 and Pi1) were all the while brought into Tellahamsa with the use of the marker-helped backcross rearing (MABB) system. The paper underlines the expected advantages, challenges, and moral contemplations related to quality pyramiding, and talks about future exploration bearings to speed up the organization of versatile rice assortments.

Authors: Wang Yuying , Xu Wei , Guan Kaining , Zhao Jin , Wu Ping
Published: July 2024

English teachers’ post-pandemic motivational experiences within Macau’s hybrid postcolonial context have not been extensively investigated, although teacher motivation is crucial to the quality of education and student outcomes. This qualitative study aimed to address this gap by interviewing 13 English teachers across Macau universities about their motivations. Semi-structured interviews were iteratively coded to identify key themes. The results indicated that intrinsic motivations included a passion for teaching and helping students, as well as an altruistic desire to contribute. Positive relationships between students and teachers motivated participants, while disengaged student behavior, a lack of participation in policies, unclear roles, and unbalanced workloads demotivated them. University culture, curriculum, and governance were viewed as a means of providing purpose and empowerment through social responsibility. The motivational sustainability process included recommendations regarding reducing teaching hours, improving teacher governance, improving research support, and clarifying faculty responsibilities as part of the motivational sustainability process. While the results were limited to an exploratory study, they provided insight into how to align practices with the intrinsic aspirations of Macau’s university English teachers to re-engage them.

Authors: Hezam Abdulrahman Mokbel Mahyoub , Alkhateeb Abdulelah
Published: July 2024

This study investigated the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in teaching literature, specifically focusing on short stories. An online survey of literature teachers was used, in which 40 literature teachers from different Saudi universities participated. The survey results indicated that literature teachers recognized the potential benefits of AI tools, including personalized learning experiences and increased student engagement. Teachers believed that AI tools could improve learning outcomes by enhancing students' comprehension of literary techniques and devices. However, the survey also revealed challenges related to teacher training and concerns about the quality of AI-generated content. The study suggests several recommendations, including stakeholder engagement, comprehensive teacher training, ethical guidelines, continuous evaluation of AI tools, and ensuring that AI complements rather than replaces human expertise. The study concludes that AI tools, when implemented thoughtfully and supported by ongoing research, have the potential to enhance short story education by providing customized and engaging learning experiences that enhance interactions between students and texts.

Three professional interpreters were taken as the respondents of this study, who were asked to assess the work attitudes implemented by each of the interpreters in the videos. The data were analyzed using a 5-Point Likert Scale. The results indicate that the two interpreters have good and appropriate work attitudes, and their attitudes positively contribute to their interpreting competence.
The Translator as a Colonial Agent: Reframing the South in the English Translation of Season of Migration to the North
Authors: Allawzi Areej , Ammari Deema , Awwad Mousa , Al-Shara’h Mais
Published: July 2024

This paper sets out to examine the translation of Tayeb Salih's Season of Migration to the North in light of Narrative theory. In his work, Salih is writing back to the empire as a form of resistance against British Colonialism. The translation seems to tone this resistance down by constructing a narrative that underlines the superiority of the North over the South. The paper attempts to offer a fresh perspective as it explores how the South is reframed in the target text to be represented to the target audience. It also attempts to answer the question of how the East/South is narrated and whether it has been (dis)empowered in the novel’s translation. Given the importance of the text, It is essential to investigate how the novel has been introduced in the West using a strong and adaptable framework capable of capturing the complexities of the interactions among various powers involved. Narrative theory offers such a framework and is particularly suitable for the current study.
Forging Alternative Resistance Through Empathy in Sahar Khalifeh's Wild Thorns
Authors: Jarrad Samah , M. Raihanah M. , Vengadasamy Ravichandran
Published: July 2024

Until recently, Palestinian nonviolent resistance has historically been overshadowed by the narrative of armed and violent resistance. This article contends that the reality of Palestinian resistance is relatively nonviolent and explores alternative nonviolent approaches drawing on Sahar Khalifeh's novel Wild Thorns. Originally published in 1976 and translated into English in 1985, Khalifeh's novel serves as a blueprint for nonviolent resistance, emphasizing empathy. This research demonstrates how interethnic connections between antagonistic groups, particularly in workplace settings, can mitigate violence by humanizing the face of the perceived enemy. Through documenting the violence of imperial imposition and scrutinizing the means by which a nation can resist its occupier nonviolently, Khalifeh creates a readership that is ready to empathize by acknowledging the trauma experienced by the Other.
Examining Social Actors in Investment Fraud News: A Transitivity and Appraisal Analysis
Authors: Sari Eny Maulita Purnama , Santosa Riyadi , Djatmika Djatmika , Wiratno Tri
Published: July 2024

This study examined media-framed investment fraud issues through critical discourse analysis (CDA) by Fairclough (1995). It analyzed the impact of context on text, employing van Dijk's (2009) theory of news discourse and van Leeuwen's (2008) framework for social actors (SAs) in investment fraud news, they were the affiliate (AF), the investor (IF), and the police (PL). Transitivity analysis (TA) was used to assess power relationships, while the appraisal system (AS) was used to identify SA’s attitudes. Framing served various purposes, enhancing salience in news contexts. In investment fraud news, the AF was portrayed as a target with immoral attitudes, the IF as un/fortunate behavers, and the PL as trustworthy sayers. The data obtained from Indonesian online media during the investment fraud reports were analyzed. The study utilized systemic functional linguistics (SFL) within CDA, integrating transitivity analysis for power relations and the appraisal system for attitude analysis of each social actor. The results demonstrated how the social actors shape the construction of social and economic values, influencing the public perceptions and beliefs of the business investment.
Development and Validation of Phonological Processing Assessment Tool in Kannada Language
Authors: Prabhu Shwetha , Subban Vangmayee , Bhat Jayashree Sunil , Somashekara Haralakatta Shivananjappa
Published: July 2024

The research evidence in orthographically transparent language Kannada indicates that phonological processing significantly influences reading acquisition, and deficits increase the risk of dyslexia. A comprehensive assessment of phonological processing that includes phonological awareness, phonological memory, and phonological naming is crucial for implementing effective intervention strategies, thereby reducing the risk of dyslexia. However, there is a notable absence of phonological processing assessment tools specifically designed and validated for children learning to read alphasyllabary Kannada. The present study addresses this gap by developing and validating a phonological processing assessment tool for children between Grade I and Grade III learning to read alphasyllabary languages such as Kannada. The study was conducted in two distinct phases. The first phase consisted of developing and piloting a phonological processing assessment tool. It included the stages of task selection, item generation, content validation, pilot testing, and reliability analysis. In the second phase, the developed tool was validated by administering it to both typically developing children and children at-risk for dyslexia from Grade I through Grade III. Subsequently, the developmental appropriateness of the tool was tested by comparing the performance of typically developing children between the grades. Additionally, diagnostic validity, including sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve, was established by comparing the performance of typically developing and at-risk children. The study makes a substantial contribution to research on reading in Akshara orthographies, offering a valuable clinical tool for identifying children at-risk for dyslexia.
A Multimodal Discourse Analysis of Ideological Identity Endorsed on the University's Homepages
Authors: Ginting Pirman , Murni Sri M. , Pulungan Anni H.
Published: July 2024

Whilst a plethora of research has taken into account the exertion of website homepages as a conduit for effectively conveying information, it is acknowledged that the matter of ideological values and how these ideals are manifested through such digital communication media has been somewhat overlooked. Thus, the research at hand attempts to go over how the university advertises its ideological construal on its homepages by way of the adoption of multiple modes, involving both linguistic and aesthetic dimensions, and video. In this investigation, multimodal approaches encapsulated by Kress (2010) and Pauwels (2012) were employed to address the ideological values through visual components on the university homepages. Drawing from the attainable data, the university's homepage is crafted utilizing two fundamental categories of semiotic methods such as a combination of visual and textual elements, as well as video to reinforce the aesthetic, nevertheless, it neglects to incorporate any semiotic resource that places particular emphasis on visual components. The strategic utilization of diverse multiple modalities of communication on the homepage has effectively promoted an array of constructive ideological ideals that hold significant worth for stakeholders and the public, considering the pivotal role that universities play in shaping societal beliefs and perspectives.

Exploration of Honorifics in Japanese-Balinese Intercultural Marriages
Authors: Andriyani Anak Agung Ayu Dian , Ardiantari Ida Ayu Putri Gita , Saddhono Kundharu
Published: July 2024

In Bali, honorifics serve as interactional tools determined by the situational context of discourse. In this regard, the present research aimed to uncover patterns of honorific usage in intercultural marriages between Japanese and Balinese individuals within the realm of pragmatic studies. The researchers employed observation along with data collection techniques involving listening, note-taking, and interviewing families of Japanese-Balinese intermarriages. Primary data consisted of dialogues among intermarried families in the districts of Badung, Gianyar, and Denpasar City, considering the high frequency of intercultural marriages in these regions in Bali. The findings revealed a dynamic interplay of honorifics within the context of cross-cultural marriages, shedding light on how language interaction reflected and shaped social interaction norms based on the context of cross-cultural marriages. Specifically, honorifics for Balinese women and children followed the social status of the father's family. Naming conventions for women from the Wangsa Jaba caste, including foreign citizens married to men from the Tri Wangsa caste, involved a process termed "perkawinan naik status" (status-elevating marriage), where the woman was given the honorific "jero" followed by her first name. In contrast, those not belonging to the Wangsa Jaba caste were named according to the birth order of the Japanese woman. This condition also applied to children born from intercultural marriages. Considering these results, this research is expected to contribute significantly to the academic literature on cultural anthropology, linguistics, and cross-cultural studies, offering insights into tolerance, appreciation of differences, and the ability to adapt to cross-cultural relationships.
Participación de las entidades promotoras de salud (EPS) en el mercado del aseguramiento de salud, Colombia, 1995-1998
Authors: Cardona Alvaro
Published: July 2024

La Ley 100 de 1993 creó un marco normativo en busca de consolidar un mercado del aseguramiento de los riesgos de salud.En ese contexto, las Entidades Promotoras de Salud (EPS) pueden afiliar y recaudar las cotizaciones de las personas que, de acuerdo con la Ley deben asegurarse para la protección de su salud en el régimen contributivo o administrar los recursos que el sistema destina para el aseguramiento de quienes tienen derecho de hacerlo en el régimen Subsidiado.En este artículo se analiza comparativamente cual ha sido la participación de cada una de las EPS en el mercado del aseguramiento en salud, en el periodo comprendido entre 1995 y 1998.La información analizada fue tomada del estudio Impacto de la reforma de la seguridad social sobre la organización institucional y la prestación de los servicios de salud en Colombia, realizado por un grupo de profesores de la Facultad Nacional de Salud Pública de la Universidad de Antioquia.El análisis se hizo separadamente para el Régimen Contributivo y el Régimen Subsidiado.Para realizar las comparaciones se utilizan medidas de frecuencia absoluta y proporciones.Los resultados permiten concluir que hay una tendencia a que las EPS de naturaleza privada se consoliden en el mercado del aseguramiento de los riesgos de salud en el país.Así, en Junio de 1998 congregaban el 29,7% de los afiliados al régimen contributivo y el 25,7% de los afiliados al régimen subsidiado, mientras que las EPS públicas tienen serios problemas que les está llevando a registrar perdidas paulatinas de participación en ese mercado
Iniciativas por la salud pública. Avances y retos en los Sistemas de Salud Interculturales

Published: July 2024

En Colombia aún no existe un reconocimiento del derecho a la salud, que asegure un adecuado nivel de vida o bienestar en las comunidades indígenas. Evidenciándose barreras idiomáticas, culturales y geográficas, que no han sido tomadas en cuenta para la atención en salud. La Organización Panamericana de la Salud (ops) y la Organización Mundial de la Salud (oms) mencionan que en la mayoría de los pueblos étnicos, no hay información precisa sobre el perfil epidemiológico, ni un buen manejo de la salud mental. Como una primera solución, estas organizaciones, junto a la academia, instituciones, y la comunidad misma, están trabajando en la formación del recurso humano del área de la salud; buscando el respeto y aceptación de las prácticas de la medicina ancestral “tradicional” en el contexto de la comprensión del conocimiento indígena y su dinámica de vida.
Debido a esto, el Grupo de Interés en Salud Indígena (gisi) de la Facultad Nacional de Salud Pública, Universidad de Antioquia ha venido realizando desde el 2009, una serie de Conversatorios anuales sobre salud indígena. Estos han tenido como objetivo general el intercambio de experiencias y conocimientos en temas que enriquezcan el mejoramiento, mantenimiento y recuperación de la salud y la calidad de vida de los diferentes pueblos indígenas que habitan en Colombia.
El IV Conversatorio sobre Salud Indígena: Avances y Retos en los Sistemas de Salud Interculturales llevado a cabo en 2012, consigna los esfuerzos en estas memorias y concluye a nivel de proyección para el trabajo futuro alrededor del Sistema de Salud Indígena Intercultural (sispi): primero, que se debe reconocer la salud como un derecho humano fundamental; segundo, incluir la interculturalidad a nivel constitucional o como política pública; tercero, articular los Sistemas Educativos Indígenas Propios (seip) en el sispi, e incluir la formación integral en el personal de salud; cuarto, fomentar la investigación participativa en las comunidades y quinto, fortalecer las cadenas de comunicación entre los pueblos indígenas, procurando la conservación y reconocimiento de las prácticas ancestrales.

Es indudable que el panorama de la segurdicad social trasciende el de la salud pública, porque refiere a más de ella, al empleo, ingreso, educación, recreación y otros aspectos del bienestar, por tanto rebasa los horizontes que las facultades del área de la salud han venido manejando tradicionalmente.

Se presentan algunos temas importantes para la salud pública que se considera deben ser tomados en cuenta en la discusión de una reforma de la Ley de seguridad social colombiana (Ley 100 de 1993). Se utilizan las estadísticas oficiales disponibles para ilustrar cada uno de los temas presentados y se hacen algunas consideraciones sobre el contexto social y económico del país. Se concluye que el Congreso de la República y el gobierno nacional deben escrutar cuidadosamente las anotaciones críticas de académicos e investigadores e introducir reformas a la ley que ayuden a resolver las graves condiciones sociales de millones de ciudadanos, sin obstinarse en la ideología del libre mercado.

De acuerdo con una convocatoria pública para desarrollar parte el plan de atención básica del Valle del Cauca, Colombia, la División Salud de la fundación FES Social ejecuto un proyecto con acciones de investigación e intervención orientadas a desarrollar y fortalecer la política de promoción de lactancia de materna en el departamento. El componente de investigación del proyecto contempló acciones para evaluar el grado de implementación de la iniciativa instituciones amigas de la mujer y la infancia (IAMI) a favor de la lactancia natural exitosa, en instituciones hospitalarias regionales con servicio de atención de parto. Entre abril y mayo del año 1991 fue aplicada una lista chequeo para evaluar en un amuestra de diez hospitales públicos el grado de implementación de los pasos de la iniciativa. En las instituciones participantes, la implementación general de la IAMI era baja y ninguna tenía una política de apoyo de la lactancia natural, si se analizan tres pasos específicos: oferta exclusiva de leche materna, alojamiento conjunto y estímulo a la lactancia materna de libre demanda, el grado de implementación se considera alto. Deben ejecutarse acciones organizacionales para mejorar la protección, promoción y apoyo a la lactancia en el ámbito del departamento.

El proyecto Municipios Centinela, coordinado por el Ministerio de Salud a través de Programa Sistemas Municipales y financiado con los recursos de crédito del Banco Interamericano de desarrollo, es una fase más desagregada del Plan de Evaluación, el cual pretende ofrecer una guía para construir un sistema de información  flexible y eficiente y dar respuesta en el corto y mediano plazo a las necesidades de información para la toma de decisiones en diferentes sectores del desarrollo. La presente investigación tuvo como propósito una rápida evaluación de los  resultados   de Sistema General de Seguridad Social en Salud (SGSSS), en el período comprendido entre 1995 y 1998, en localidades concretas con características similares al conjunto de los municipios colombianos  clasificados en categorías 5 y 6, en lo que hace referencia a condiciones socioeconómicas,  geográficas, demográficas e  institucionales y de con un grado importante de marginación social. En el estudio se realizo la metodología de observatorios municipales, previa selección de municipios considerados centinela, articulándola a la metodología de marco lógico que incluye análisis de factores; todo el proceso fue enriquecido con el apoyo d e métodos de investigación cualitativa. El estudio se realizó simultáneamente  en 14 municipios del país, ubicados en los departamentos de Antioquia, Atlántico, Boyacá, Caldas, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Huila, Nariño y Sucre.
Indicadores de accidentalidad laboral, normatividad y recomendaciones en Colombia.

Bajo la denominación de indicadores se agrupan las medidas de morbilidad y mortalidad relacionadas con accidentes de trabajo que se usan para comparación, principalmente entre periodos. El objetivo  de las acciones de prevención es reducir la frecuencia de ocurrencia de lesiones en lugar de trabajo y para ello, los indicadores actúan como medidas de seguimiento, con  los que se intenta representar el fenómeno no solo en términos de cantidad sino también de gravedad de las lesiones o daño a la salud de los trabajadores. En este trabajo se presentan los indicadores más recomendados en salud ocupacional: índice de severidad  o tasa de gravedad; tasa y porcentaje de severidad y medida de días perdidos, En Colombia dentro del Sistema de Riesgos Profesionales no tienen acceso a este tipo de datos, lo cual hace que los indicadores mas utilizados sean la tasa de incidencia y la tasa de severidad, en lugar de los índices de frecuencia y la tasa de severidad. La otra limitante es la falta de precisión en la información sobre población expuesta, en su lugar, se usa el dato de población cobertura, como lo recomienda la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT).

En salud ocupacional, especialmente por parte de las administradoras de riesgos profesionales, de las empresas y de los trabajadores, se ha buscado priorizar las acciones preventivas, mejorar el sistema de información, identificar y fortalecer la notificación de las enfermedades relacionadas con el trabajo, así como lograr mejor comprensión de las enfermedades de origen ocupacional que afectan al trabajador.  En la Administradora de Riesgos Profesionales Seguro Social Seccional Antioquia (ARP-SS), se diseñó y probó un sistema de vigilancia epidemiológica de dermatosis ocupacional por evento centinela, el cual parte de la identificación de la magnitud del problema y la valoración de las condiciones existentes para la vigilancia epidemiológica ocupacional. En este artículo se establecen los criterios teóricos y prácticos con respecto al manejo de la información y la intervención, para el funcionamiento del sistema de vigilancia  epidemiológica por evento centinela, incluyendo los principales resultados de la prueba piloto.  El sistema de vigilancia propuesto, promueve la articulación de las acciones de vigilancia entre los prestadores de servicios de salud y los administradores de la atención, incluyendo la administradora de riesgos profesionales, que facilite la detección y atención oportuna de los casos de dermatosis de origen ocupacional.
