Condiciones de trabajo en el personal de enfermeras/os en tiempo de coronavirus en ecuador

Abstract: Objective. To determine the working conditions of staff of sick people in time of (sarscov-2) in Ecuador, 2020. Methodology. This supported by the bibliographical reviews of the databases, such as Elsevier, SciELO, PubMed, Science Direct and official websites of the World Health Organization, Pan American Health Organization and Ministry of Public Health. The summary and main conclusions of these documents were reviewed to determine whether the topic addressed corresponded to a description and/or analysis of the system, as well as discussions with key informants who are leaders in the health services, so that they could contribute to the analysis and working conditions at this time of the Covid-19 pandemic. Results. The world of work is enormously affected by the global pandemic of the new coronavirus (SARSCoV-2), which has had a profound impact on the economy and health of millions of people, of 11.5%, said Carissa Etienne, the director of PAHO, in a virtual session of the Organization of American States (OAS). One of the most affected regions is the deeply exclusionary and unequal city of Guayaquil. These working conditions of nurses in Ecuador's health sector. It is framed in the concept of human resources field, having the reference framework of the different elements that interact in the dynamics of the work process; Qisas the most aggravating problem that nurses have had to live with is the right to work security, as they are mainly exposed to biological risk and the lack of an adequate supply of personal protective equipment (PPE). Used during the working day, during periods of greatest exposure during direct care of the patient with covid 19 Conclusion The State does not provide the conditions of job security and welfare for and of nurses by not providing appropriate and sufficient personal protective equipment in all health facilities including the first access to mental health and psychosocial support

Observations on the breeding biology of the Andean Ibis (Theristicus branickii) in Ecuador

Abstract: The Andean Ibis (Theristicus branickii) occurs in the high Andes of Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador. In Ecuador, it occurs primarily in the Antisana Volcano highlands and is currently considered “Critically Endangered” at the national level. Little information is known about its ecology and reproductive biology. The goal of this study was to understand its reproduction patterns. Research was carried out in Antisana Ecological Reserve during November 2017–May 2018. Four active nests were discovered and studied: two from hatching and two after hatching. We used direct observations and camera traps to study parental care and nestling growth. Nests were located near waterfalls in the Antisana River drainage. Andean Ibis hatching was asynchronous within approximately 48 h in the same nest. Preliminary total survival rate was estimated as 50%. The incubation period lasted c. 27 days, and nestlings fledged after 2 months.

Evaluación del grado de microfiltración en restauraciones de composite tras diferentes periodos de envejecimiento.

Abstract: Introduccion: los composites en la actualidad constituyen la primera eleccion como material restaurador, es asi, que el proposito de esta investigacion fue evaluar el grado de microfiltracion de este material variando el tiempo tras su empleo en restauraciones directas. Metodos: en 60 terceros molares humanos de reciente extraccion se realizaron dos cavidades, una en la cara vestibular y otra en la cara palatina/lingual. Las mismas que fueron restauradas mediante un unico material y mismo protocolo restaurador (Vococid Gel, Admira Bond y Admira A2 – Voco) tras haber seguido las indicaciones del fabricante. Los cuerpos de prueba (n=20) fueron divididos en tres grupos segun tiempos de termociclado: G1 de 5.400 ciclos proporcional a 6 meses, G2 de 8.100 ciclos equivalente a 9 meses, y G3 de 10.800 ciclos proporcional a 12 meses, a una temperatura que varia de 5°C, 37°C y 55°C. En cada cuerpo de prueba se realizo un vedamiento de toda su superficie excepto alrededor de dos mm de la restauracion. Se prosigue a pigmentarlas con Azul de Metileno durante 24 horas, despues de este tiempo se procede a la seleccion longitudinal para iniciar el analisis de grado de microfiltracion. Resultados: los datos recolectados fueron sometidos a pruebas ANOVA, Tukey y T de Student encontrando un p<0,05 que permite determinar ausencia de diferencia significativa entre los tiempos de termociclado. Conclusion: se evidencia una clara estabilidad dimensional en el material restaurador testado a los 6, 9 y 12 meses despues de su confeccion. Palabras clave: filtracion, longevidad, resinas compuestas

Análisis del desempleo durante la pandemia COVID-19 y el impacto en diferentes sectores económicos del Ecuador

Abstract: The economic crisis in Ecuador during the years 2020 to 2021 as a direct consequence of the Covid19 pandemic, aggravated and skyrocketed an already experienced unemployment rate. This present study analyses several facts from different strategic economic sources in Ecuador. Now taking in consideration all of the previous years of data up to this present, it´s evident to point out that two of every ten ecuadorians have “full employment” meaning that these two ecuadorians are currently fully employed throughout an employer that guarantees compliance whit a labor rigths. The gobernment of Ecuador has not created nor made policies and laws to protect and benefit employment rights, in fact all decisions were made to affect the labor force ending in job losses month to month.

Roles de la Educación Superior en el desarrollo agropecuario local.

Abstract: En este articulo se conceptualizan aspectos sobre el desarrollo agropecuario local y su interrelacion con las politicas publicas implantadas por los gobernantes. Los centros de investigacion y de formacion pertenecientes a la Educacion Superior siempre han sido participantes serios en el proceso de diseno de las politicas publicas orientadas al desarrollo agropecuario local. Hoy las universidades tienen el deber civico de participar activamente en su concepcion, implantacion y seguimiento. Para eso sus recursos humanos, incluyendo profesores, investigadores, alumnos y directivos deben concienciar que ademas de su funcion social y laboral son ciudadanos que por su preparacion pueden aportar mucho y deben mejorar su rol como miembros activos de la sociedad dentro y fuera del claustro.
