The problems in learning to read are due to multiple factors, which have increased post-pandemic. The aim of this study was to strengthen the metalinguistic skills related to reading in a 9-year-old child, in second grade of primary school, attending a public school, in socio-economic stratum 2, residing in the city of Villavicencio (Colombia). The efficient use of cognitive processes of planning, attention, simultaneous and sequential processing, inherent to the PASS method (Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, Sequential), was implemented. This cognitive approach is applied in cases of nonfluent, inaccurate, or non-comprehensive reading. The intervention was conducted in person over 12 sessions of 90 minutes each, once a week for 3 months with school support, through the Individual Plan of Reasonable Adjustments (PIAR). Before the intervention, the PROLEC-R was used for assessment, and subsequent pre-, during-, and post-measurements were taken to identify the progress in the process associated with the application of the method and adjustments according to the progress. The child improved performance in the recognition of phonemes, syllables, words, and pseudowords, as well as in reading accuracy and speed. It is identified that the application of the PASS method, allows the strengthening of metalinguistic skills, enhances lexical, syllabic, and phonological awareness, which facilitates reading accuracy in a 9-yearold child with specific reading disorder.

The analysis of health gaps, considering structural heterogeneity, guides us to focus on the subtle, but complex local variations that influence the use and exploitation of resources and the understanding of social dynamics that create them. Currently, one of the most notable gaps is the distribution of health infrastructure, as well as the organization of individual and collective medical care. The realistic indicators resulting from the analysis of care deserts are a robust element to advance objectives such as the planning of physical infrastructure, the strategic assignment of mobile medical units, the definition of coverage zones, the territorial deployment of public health actions and the development of regions. Making this tool part of the management's work, down to the district level, is key to effectively addressing disparities in medical care and its connection to collective health risks.

Objective: To determine the standard surgical times of the four most common general surgery procedures (unilateral inguinal hernioplasty, bilateral inguinal hernioplasty, umbilical hernioplasty and cholecystectomy) in a second-level hospital and to estimate the probability of extending the time of each of the procedures. Efficiency is a widely studied subject in economics. It involves the need for fewer elements in the production of a certain level of goods and services. Therefore, it is extremely important to consider it in the field of surgery. Materials and methods: An observational, descriptive and retrospective study. It used the operating room records from 2017 to 2019 of the General Surgery service in a second-level hospital. Based on this information, the time required for each procedure was standardized using the mean for each one (umbilical hernioplasty, unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernioplasty and cholecystectomy). The probability of extending surgical times was estimated based on the obtained data and confidence interval. Results: The mean for unilateral inguinal hernioplasty was 76 min (95.00 % CI: 72-80 min, SD 23), for bilateral inguinal hernioplasty 104.38 min (95.00 % CI: 91-116 min, SD 41.7), for umbilical hernioplasty 59.31 min (95.00 % CI: 54-63 min, SD 29.99) and for cholecystectomy 85.735 min (95.00 % CI: 83-88 min). The probability of scheduling three surgical interventions and completing all of them on time (upper limit of the CI) is 92.69 %, and the probability of scheduling three surgical interventions and extending the time of all of them is 0.0016 % (lower limit of the CI). Conclusions: Planning scheduled operations using standardized surgical times is feasible. Updated statistics on surgical procedures (average time for each procedure) are required since it is possible to more accurately detect and supervise operating room dynamics by identifying opportunity areas. This will make operating room time more efficient for the benefit of health care systems and patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article reveals the planning and management processes of the community councils of the Patia region in the department of Cauca, located in the south-west of Colombia. The research is placed under a hermeneutic historical epistemological approach, documentary analysis techniques and group interviews are implemented with the purpose of understanding situations or achievements of community management from the stories, experiences, and experiences of community councils. To facilitate the complementarity of the data, three investigative techniques are triangulated, the observation recorded in the field diaries, the interviews, and the documentary research techniques. The results relate to the Colombian State as guideline guide to strengthen cultural identity, collective territory, economic and social development that guarantee rights and equal opportunities through ethno-development plans; while the community councils under their worldview appropriate the life plan for sustainability, identify themselves as guarantors of the protection and defense of the territory, through their community organization they preserve their own agroecological practices, which contribute to maintaining and rescuing related ancestral knowledge to the sustainable development goals.

This paper proposes an alternative methodology to optimally design an electrical distribution system in a real urban area. A medium voltage (MV) network polygon is extracted from the web page of a distribution company (GIS platform), which serves as a comparison pattern. A redesign of the medium voltage network is made to the extracted polygon. Taking as a premise that it is a new urbanization that needs to be provided with electric power, with all the technical requirements imposed by the regulating entity, good power quality and at minimum cost. To achieve this goal, two mathematical optimization models are used. The methodology begins by delimiting the project area in a geo-referenced manner; in this area 36 possible sites are located where the distribution transformers that will provide electricity to the new urbanization can be placed. The first optimization model determines how many transformers will be installed, by means of a minimization objective function, the constraints of the model are: transformer capacity (KVA) and coverage (number of subscribers connected to the low voltage network of each transformer). Once the number of transformers to be installed and their respective geo-referenced optimal locations are determined, the model is run. The second heuristic optimization model, based on graph theory, calculates the mine spanning tree for the connection of the medium voltage electrical network, thus interconnecting the transformers of the project with the minimum distance, thus optimizing the construction cost. These optimization models are implemented and solved with Matlab and LpSolve software. The topology found with the two proposed models is electrically evaluated by running power flows with CYMEDIST software. Finally, the proposed model is evaluated by comparing the electrical parameters obtained with the electrical parameters of the polygon extracted from the GIS system of the distribution company.

The primary objective of this study is to identify the main facilitating components for entrepreneurial management in the Colombian Caribbean. The research methodology is quantitative and involves using a 20-item questionnaire measured on a Likert scale (always to never). The surveyed sample is composed of 406 entrepreneurs, with two or more years of experience, from the city of Barranquilla (Colombia). A factor analysis is performed due to the empirical nature of the study. The results revealed five facilitating components for entrepreneurial management: 1) the business model's design relevance, 2) financial education, 3) planning, 4) strategic direction, and 5) business environment knowledge. It is concluded that these five components are key for lifelong entrepreneurial businesses and that as long as entrepreneurs are prepared to foresee and quickly adapt to changes in their surrounding environments their businesses will persist over time.

Hope is a cognitive geared towards goal achievement, which establishes the cognitive basis (motivation and volition) for attaining goals, thus having a close relationship with entrepreneurship. There are no hope scales for female entrepreneurs, therefore, it is the aim of this research to validate a hope scale for female entrepreneurship. The questionnaire was self-administered to a sample of 331 Mexican women, aged between 20 and 73 years old. Construct validity was determined through exploratory factor analysis, obtaining a three-dimensional structure, considering 14 items: Agency (ω=.88), Pathways evaluation (ω=.79), and Alternative planning (ω=.64). It had adequate fit indexes. This scale possesses appropriate content and construct validity and reliability and may therefore be useful as a tool for assessment, diagnosis, and research in initial phases of entrepreneurship.

Demand forecasting is of utmost importance for strategic decision making of a nation. Literature offers multiple approaches to the development of forecast models focused in aggregate demand, also, little attention has been paid to non-residential sector demand forecasts. In this paper, using Time Series Analysis approach, three different models are fitted, tested and compared to forecast electricity demand in mining and quarrying sector, one of the most representative non-residential sector for colombian electricity demand. Fitted models include an additive model, a SARIMA and a Holt Winters model. Results indicate that better accuracy is provided the by Holt Winters model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
