The agents of deterioration (AoD) offer a structured categorization of hazards to collections: they are a basis for risk-informed preservation management. In drawing up the AoD their creators were not ignorant of wider societal issues of concern to conservators, but they envisaged them to be part of a broader institutional activity located beyond the scope of preventive conservation. Within conservation, there have been discussions about additional agents: social, cultural, or political causes of loss. Their continued exclusion from the AoD may mistakenly be interpreted as a lack of consideration of such concerns. There are reasons to limit the scope of an institution's preventive conservation system but not everyone agrees that those reasons are sufficient to justify this limitation. This paper is a discussion and disagreement by two authors. Henderson argues that dissociation should capture any loss of meaning resulting from any aspect of conservation practice, including cleaning, documentation, failure to respect beliefs, etc. She argues that dissociation from context may stop preventive conservators from identifying and respecting optimal traditional sustainable methods and techniques. Waller argues that the threat of losing context information about collection items should be managed as part of the wider cultural heritage institution's role and resolved through its engagement with the community. He acknowledges that preventive conservation can contribute to understanding and mitigating this form of loss, but advocates that primary responsibility must be situated at a higher level than the preventive conservation remit.

The longhorned tick Haemaphysalis longicornis is a highly invasive tick that is native to Asia. Since its detection in New Jersey in 2017, this tick has spread to 18 states in the Northeast, the Midwest, and the Southeast regions of the United States. In Mexico, H. longicornis has been detected only once in an imported horse at the inspection point in Piedras Negras, Coahuila. However, the risk of introduction and establishment of this tick species is high due to importation of live animals, the frequent legal transportation of numerous pets by tourists, the migration of wildlife across the extensive northern border that is more than 3,000 km long, and the inherent difficulty in detecting immatures stages on animals. The aim of this work is to provide Spanish-language information on the distribution of H. longicornis in North America, as well as the ecological and biological aspects of this tick. This work includes morphological images of H. longicornis aimed at facilitating its accurate identification. This effort provides useful information for veterinarians, government agency officials, and other professionals involved in animal health and tick control to aid in the effective prevention of the introduction and establishment of H. longicornis in Mexico.

Background: waist circumference (WC) is a component of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and an excellent marker for the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in children. This study aimed to provide information on the anatomical measurement sites of WC and their comparative correlation with MetS and its components in children. Methods: the literature search included papers published between January 2005 and September 2023 that met the following criteria: pediatric patients (2-18 years), WC measurement at different anatomical sites (≥ 2), and CVD risk by MetS. The quality of each study was determined using the STROBE and modified GRADE scales. The meta-analysis evaluated the WCiliac-crest and WCmiddle. Results: five observational studies (total population: 1,224) were included. WC was measured at 2-4 anatomical sites. In all studies, the correlations between different WC measurement sites and CVD risk were similar. The STROBE assessment ranged from 12-20/22 and the GRADE was A for all the articles. The meta-analysis showed that the heterogeneity (I2 test) of the WCiliac-crest and WCmiddle with CVD variables was substantial. Conclusion: All WC measurement sites showed adequate correlation with CVD risk, with some small individual differences. WCnarrow and WCumbilucus have adequate consistency and could be excellent alternatives in daily clinical practice because of their ease of measurement. Further studies are needed to evaluate the correlation between different WC measurement sites and CVD risk in children stratified according to pubertal stage and sex. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. Musculoskeletal injuries have consequences for surgical professionals, and even more so for head and neck surgeons, which entail a large burden of disability and absenteeism from work, causing early retirement, restrictions or modifications in surgical practice. Methods. Publications were selected from the Pubmed, Embase and LILACS databases. All studies that measured the prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries and the presence of ergonomic risk, associated symptoms, use of measurement scales and prevention strategies were included. The estimated effects of the studies were shown with a 95% confidence interval. Results. 438 studies were found. After the review, seven studies were included, with a total of 868 patients. A prevalence of 81% was estimated through a random effects meta-analysis. Conclusions. Postural problems in head and neck surgeons have a prevalence of 81%. This generates a great impact on their physical and mental health, increasing disabilities and loss of working years. The tools used for evaluation are heterogeneous and some studies do not include data such as years of practice and level of training. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El espárrago genera divisas extranjeras al Perú, pero depende demasiado del mercado de Estados Unidos, por ello, se evalúan nuevos destinos. Se prueba que existen destinos alternativos rentables para el espárrago peruano analizando variables macroeconómicas, la rentabilidad con el beneficio bruto y riesgo de la exportación, en entornos de riesgo, aplicando el software @Risk, y la incidencia del precio FOB (Free on Board, Libre a bordo) y costos de exportación en la rentabilidad de la exportación de espárragos. Se encontró que los mejores destinos para exportar espárragos peruanos, según la rentabilidad ponderada por el riesgo, son: Suiza, Noruega, Suecia, Italia y Corea del Sur. Se recomienda realizar este análisis para otros productos y mercados.

Grassland conservation planning often focuses on high‐risk landscapes, but many grassland conversion models are not designed to optimize conservation planning because they lack multidimensional risk assessments and are misaligned with ecological and conservation delivery scales. To aid grassland conservation planning, we developed landscape‐scale models at relevant scales that predict future (2021–2031) total and proportional loss of unprotected grassland to cropland or development. We developed models for 20 ecoregions across the contiguous United States by relating past conversion (2011–2021) to a suite of covariates in random forest regression models and applying the models to contemporary covariates to predict future loss. Overall, grassland loss models performed well, and explanatory power varied spatially across ecoregions (total loss model: weighted group mean R2 = 0.89 [range: 0.83–0.96], root mean squared error [RMSE] = 9.29 ha [range: 2.83–22.77 ha]; proportional loss model: weighted group mean R2 = 0.74 [range: 0.64–0.87], RMSE = 0.03 [range: 0.02–0.06]). Amount of crop in the landscape and distance to cities, ethanol plants, and concentrated animal feeding operations had high variable importance in both models. Total grass loss was greater when there were moderate amounts of grass, crop, or development (∼50%) in the landscape. Proportional grass loss was greater when there was less grass (∼<30%) and more crop or development (∼>50%). Some variables had a large effect on only a subset of ecoregions, for example, grass loss was greater when ∼>70% of the landscape was enrolled in the Conservation Reserve Program. Our methods provide a simple and flexible approach for developing risk layers well suited for conservation that can be extended globally. Our conversion models can support conservation planning by enabling prioritization as a function of risk that can be further optimized by incorporating biological value and cost.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, several jurisdictions have exerted controls over people's mobilities as a way of containing viral spread. In Australia, international borders were closed for almost two years and internal borders were periodically shut and policed as part of strong public health measures implemented by federal and state governments. In this article, we discuss how Australians conceptualized risk in relation to border controls, drawing on a set of interviews conducted in 2021 in which participants were asked to recount their experiences of the pandemic. Our analysis builds on social and cultural scholarship to understand the symbolic meanings and socio-spatialities of our participants' accounts of living in COVID times, in which they were confined within both national and internal borders. Our findings suggest three main socio-spatial imaginaries at work in participants' accounts of life behind closed borders during COVID-19. The first imaginary is an idea of immunity as a spatial property, supporting the concept of geographic immunity. The second is an ambivalent distinction between Self and Other produced through borders hastily thrown up along state lines. The third is the experience behind closed borders of living in a state of 'suspension', whereby risk is provisionally held off spatially, yet projected into the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite the growing literature on the financialisation of everyday life, studies that empirically examine the various theoretical approaches to it have been scarce. This paper aims to bridge this gap by analysing the financialisation of individuals’ socio-economic behaviour in Southern Europe. To this effect, we used data from the second wave of the Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS), drawn up by the European Central Bank in 2016. Firstly, we designed an operational model of the financialisation of everyday life based on variables related to individual financial behaviour, household money management, and the perception of economic risk. Secondly, we conducted a Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) combined with a Cluster Analysis (CLA) to study the behaviour of individuals in Spain, Italy, Greece, and Portugal. The results question the financialisation of individual economic action in Southern Europe and point to the characterisation of a heterogeneous pattern of socio-economic behaviour in the region. This paper opens a new methodological and theoretical research agenda, since the literature on financialisation could benefit from our operational model of everyday life financialisation by applying it to further surveys. A pesar de la creciente literatura sobre la financiarización de la vida cotidiana, los estudios fundamentados empíricamente son muy escasos. Este artículo tiene como objetivo contribuir a la comprensión empírica de este proceso analizando la financiarización del comportamiento socioeconómico de los individuos en el sur de Europa. Para ello, utilizamos datos de la segunda oleada de la Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS), elaborada por el Banco Central Europeo en 2016. En primer lugar, diseñamos un modelo operativo de financiarización de la vida cotidiana basado en variables relacionadas con el comportamiento financiero individual, la gestión del dinero del hogar, y la percepción del riesgo económico. En segundo lugar, realizamos un análisis de correspondencias múltiples combinado con un análisis de clúster para estudiar el comportamiento de los individuos en España, Italia, Grecia y Portugal. Los resultados cuestionan la financiarización de la acción económica individual en el sur de Europa y apuntan a la caracterización de un patrón heterogéneo de comportamiento socioeconómico en el Sur Europeo. Este artículo abre una nueva agenda de investigación metodológica y teórica, ya que la literatura sobre la financiarización podría beneficiarse de nuestro modelo operativo de financiarización de la vida cotidiana aplicándolo a futuras encuestas.

The word 'threat' currently proliferates in the public sphere, which contributes to the large-scale information spread of societal threats of our time. However, the difference of common sense that laypeople attribute to the concepts of 'threat', 'risk' and 'danger' remains unclear. Therefore, this research aims to fill the social psychological knowledge gap and investigate laypeople's common sense of 'societal threat'. Participants (N = 186) were asked to complete the word association task, and their narratives (N = 1,146) were analysed using two complementary research methods: the automatized methods of multidimensional analysis and the classic method of qualitative content analysis. The concept of 'societal threat' has been associated most frequently with specific large-scale societal issues that are tainted by uncertainty, and a range of primarily negative feelings and emotions. Additionally, the conceptually and semantically close concepts of 'risk' and 'danger' have not been associated, on the lexical basis, with the concept of 'societal threat'. The implications for an improved systemic understanding of actual societal threats' features and related social psychological applications are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

En este estudio se examinan los efectos previstos del cambio climático en la cuenta corriente de Colombia. Para ello, se realiza una previsión del saldo de la cuenta corriente hasta 2050 en diferentes escenarios climáticos a fin de determinar si el impacto de los riesgos relacionados podría afectar la cuenta corriente del país a largo plazo. Los resultados indican que, si en lugar de mantener las políticas climáticas actuales, se alcanzara el cero neto en emisiones para 2050, el déficit en cuenta corriente podría ampliarse el equivalente al 4,6% del PIB. Si la transición se retrasara, el costo equivaldría al 2,6% del PIB. Ese resultado puede atribuirse a la caída permanente de los precios del petróleo y la expansión de la deuda pública que tendrían lugar debido a la disminución de la demanda mundial de combustibles fósiles y al gasto adicional destinado a cumplir los objetivos ambientales.

Guerrero presentó graves daños en viviendas, equipamiento, infraestructura, entorno y base productiva tras el paso de las tormentas Ingrid y Manuel en septiembre de 2013, por lo que el gobierno implementó el Plan Nuevo Guerrero para la reconstrucción. La región de La Montaña, que se caracteriza por la pobreza de sus habitantes y por ser donde vive la mayor parte de población indígena del estado, concentró gran parte de las víctimas fatales y de los daños, debido a sus condiciones de vulnerabilidad, deterioro ambiental y abandono institucional, que derivan del modelo de desarrollo. Partimos de que la reconstrucción es parte del desastre, y es importante porque cuando se hace con miras a redirigir el desarrollo, permite reducir la vulnerabilidad y crear entornos más seguros para reducir futuros desastres. En este texto analizamos el proceso de reconstrucción impulsado desde el gobierno, caracterizado por la incorporación de diseños ajenos a la región, el cual contrasta con otras formas de reconstruir implementadas por asociaciones civiles basadas en las necesidades locales. Encontramos que la reconstrucción oficial se limita a la reposición material de las construcciones mientras que las asociaciones civiles buscan también empoderar a las comunidades y mejorar de manera integral sus condiciones de vida.

Introducción: El acoso sexual es un problema prevalente en las instituciones de educación superior a nivel mundial con serias consecuencias en la salud mental de las víctimas por lo que es urgente un abordaje oportuno que permita su detección y su prevención. Objetivo: Proporcionar una síntesis actualizada sobre la prevalencia, principales factores de riesgo y las consecuencias del acoso sexual en estudiantes de educación superior a nivel regional y local. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica sistemática cualitativa de artículos científicos observacionales a nivel regional y local publicados en los últimos 5 años sobre la prevalencia de acoso sexual y en los últimos 15 años sobre las consecuencias del acoso sexual en estudiantes de educación superior disponibles en los motores de búsqueda: PubMed y Scielo. Resultados: Se obtuvieron 241 resultados asociados de los cuales únicamente 30 cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión para la elaboración de esta revisión. Discusión: El sexo femenino, las minorías de género (GLBTI), lugar de residencia rural y edad temprana son los principales factores de riesgo para sufrir acoso sexual en instituciones de educación superior con consecuencias graves en la salud mental de las víctimas, tales como: ansiedad, depresión, bajo rendimiento académico, trastornos alimentarios entre otros. Conclusiones: El acoso sexual en instituciones de educación superior en Ecuador requiere más estudios en nuestra localidad, con un enfoque multidisciplinario que permita un abordaje eficaz y modelos de prevención.

El impacto de los estilos de apego de los profesionales de salud mental sobre su propia vulnerabilidad psicosocial no ha sido exiguamente explorado en la literatura. Por tal motivo, la presente investigación se propuso analizar posibles vinculaciones entre tres estilos de apego adulto (seguro, ansioso y evitativo) y el síndrome de desgaste por empatía (SDE), entendido como riesgo psicosocial entre profesionales de salud mental. Sobre una muestra de 324 psicólogos y psiquiatras santafesinos se recolectaron datos mediante escalas validadas. Análisis correlacionales indican vinculaciones significativas entre SDE, apego seguro y apego ansioso. Análisis de regresión lineal múltiple muestran que ambos explican el 16% y 11% respectivamente de la varianza del desgaste por empatía. Los hallazgos señalan al apego seguro como factor protector frente al desgate por empatía, e iluminan el riesgo psicosocial que conlleva el apego ansioso en profesionales psicólogos y psiquiatras.

Introduction: Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) are the first line of stroke prevention treatment in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF). However, their inappropriate use is associated with increased risk of stroke, haemorrhagic complications, and mortality. The aim of this study is to analyse the factors associated with the non-prescription of anticoagulants and the underdosing of DOACs. Methods: We conducted a descriptive study of a prospective registry of patients admitted to a stroke unit due to ischaemic stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA) during an 1-year period. We included consecutive patients with history of NVAF with indication for anticoagulant therapy (ACT), according to the CHA2DS2-VASc scale. We analysed demographic factors, exposure to vascular risk factors, kidney function, polymedication, and short- and medium-term stroke progression. Results: Data were obtained from 60 patients admitted due to TIA or ischaemic stroke, with a previous diagnosis of NVAF, of whom 13 (21.7%) were not receiving ACT. Of the remaining 47, 25 (53.2%) were under treatment with DOACs, 21 (44.7%) with vitamin K antagonists, and 1 (2.1%) with heparin. Among patients on DOACs, 8 (32%) were receiving inappropriately low doses, with no differences between drugs.Age (80.8 vs 74.9 years, p=.05) and female sex (75% vs 35.3%, p=.05) were associated with underdosing of DOACs. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (46.2% vs 14.9%, p

Los desastres se presentan cada vez con mayor frecuencia en todo el mundo y como resultado ha crecido de forma considerable la pérdida de vidas humanas. En sentido estricto, los desastres no son naturales, sino que se deben a la presencia de un fenómeno natural combinado con la presencia humana en su entorno. Los fenómenos atmosféricos o climáticos pueden generar un desastre cuando la sociedad y los ecosistemas son incapaces de enfrentarse a ellos con eficiencia; tal es el caso de las ondas cálidas, que, en múltiples ocasiones, en muchos países se han convertido en desastres de salud pública. Las ondas cálidas son períodos de tiempo inusualmente cálido y seco o cálido y húmedo, con un sutil inicio y cese, duración de al menos dos o tres días, responsables de una alta tasa de mortalidad y morbilidad y que varían en carácter e impacto aún en una misma localidad, es decir, son relativas al clima de un lugar. La capacidad de adaptación climática, sumada a características demográficas y socioeconómicas, puede determinar un nivel individual de riesgo; las ondas cálidas tienen mayor probabilidad de impactar a las siguientes poblaciones vulnerables: personas mayores y niños, individuos con condiciones de enfermedad preexistentes, que viven socialmente aislados, sin aire acondicionado, sin hogar, sin acceso a información oportuna de las temperaturas y afectaciones en la salud, incapacitados para moverse, propensos a sufrir alguna enfermedad mental, que no ser capaces de cuidarse y se encuentran en condiciones de pobreza en zonas urbanas. Vale destacar que las ondas cálidas incrementarán su intensidad, duración y frecuencia de acuerdo con los escenarios climáticos globales y regionales. Por lo anterior, en este texto se propuso cuantificar, para el período 2002-2023, el papel que las ondas cálidas han tenido en la salud de los habitantes y evaluar mediante la estimación de un índice de riesgo físico la vulnerabilidad humana al calor. Se eligió a Mexicali, Baja California, México, porque es la ciudad que durante el verano registra las temperaturas más altas de todo el país y anualmente se presentan afectaciones a la salud, producto de esas temperaturas extremas. Para tal fin se utilizaron dos enfoques. El primero se orientó a cuantificar las afectaciones a la salud ocasionadas por las temperaturas cálidas extremas, mediante los boletines epidemiológicos semanales que la Secretaría de Salud, dependiente del gobierno de México, pone a disposición de cualquier usuario interesado. Esta información se complementó con estudios locales, respaldados por instituciones de salud locales y el servicio médico forense. El segundo enfoque se orientó a estimar el riesgo físico por las temperaturas cálidas extremas mediante criterios de vulnerabilidad física y social por áreas geoestadísticas básicas. Se encontró que, debido a las ondas cálidas, el número total de personas afectadas fue de 1054, de las cuales 418 (39.7%) fueron por golpe de calor, 627 (59.5%) de agotamiento por calor y 9 (0.8%) por quemadura solar. Por la forma que la Secretaría de Salud agrupa los datos sobre golpes de calor, que incluye insolación, no fallecen todos los que se reportan en esta clasificación. Las defunciones, certificadas por el médico legista, alcanzaron un total de 332, con un valor máximo de 45 en el año 2023. Con el índice de riesgo físico se ratificó que las zonas más vulnerables al calor se ubican en zonas de la ciudad de Mexicali donde el nivel socioeconómico es bajo, los servicios públicos básicos son deficientes y los ingresos reducidos. Se concluye que las ondas cálidas en Mexicali son un problema de salud pública y que una posible solución para su mitigación es la de una planeación estratégica en la que participen gobierno, academia y empresas, vinculada a una red de comunicación, tanto de difusión gubernamental, como por el uso de redes sociales. También, se propone la creación de más áreas verdes o realizar reforestación urbana en las zonas más vulnerables, lo que podría servir como un recurso para disminuir la intensidad de la isla de calor urbano y de las ondas cálidas, y con ello generar zonas confortables al interior de la ciudad.

Antecedentes: La fariña es un alimento típico del Vaupés que se fabrica tradicionalmente por mujeres indígenas a través de un proceso que vincula 6 fases: siembra, recolección, transporte, rallado, secado y tostado. Este alimento es un insumo básico en la dieta de los pueblos indígenas, por lo que su producción está diseñada para el autoconsumo, sin embargo, hoy en día, este producto es de fácil comercialización, lo que genera un aumento en su producción en el territorio. Objetivo: Determina el nivel de riesgo ergonómico a los que se expone la salud de la mujer indígena durante la fase de rallado de la yuca para la fabricación tradicional de la fariña. Metodos: El diseño de la investigación asocia una metodología de enfoque cuantitativo en la que se utilizó el método JSI con datos de tres mujeres indígenas de 38, 42 y 47 años de edad, habitantes de las comunidades de Cubay, Cerrito Verde y Ceima Cachivera en el Vaupés, quienes producen fariña para consumo familiar. Los instrumentos aplicados fueron la observación en campo y entrevistas no estructuradas. Resultado: Se logró determinar un alto riesgo para la salud de las mujeres durante el rallado de la yuca que podría derivar en el tiempo el desarrollo de desórdenes musculoesqueléticos, permitiendo inferir que es indebido aumentar la producción tradicional de la fariña para fines comerciales.

La vida cotidiana en España ha experimentado, desde inicios de 2020, el impacto de las restricciones establecidas como consecuencia de la pandemia de coronavirus. Se presenta aquí un primer acercamiento empírico a las huellas que ha dejado en la vida cotidiana, midiendo resiliencia e histéresis en dos dimensiones, emocional y conductual. Se analiza la encuesta “Barómetro de junio de 2022” del CIS, estudiando cómo las modificaciones observadas en las formas de saludo interpersonal muestran la presencia de histéresis y resiliencia, estableciendo posteriormente su dependencia de variables como edad, género y riesgo percibido mediante la especificación de un modelo estructural de covarianzas. La edad, el género y el riesgo percibido muestran valor explicativo significativo de los fenómenos de histéresis y resiliencia. Finalmente, se confirman dos tipos de histéresis, emocional y conductual, así como la complementariedad teórica y empírica entre resiliencia e histéresis.

Los estudiantes de veterinaria están en constante riesgo de contraer enfermedades zoonóticas por la exposición a agentes biológicos y el contacto directo con animales durante el desarrollo de sus actividades académicas. Se reporta las enfermedades zoonóticas identificadas y la percepción de riesgo de los estudiantes de veterinaria de la Universidad Nacional de Canindeyú–Curuguaty, entre agosto y noviembre del 2023. Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo, observacional, descriptivo, de corte transversal en el cual se utilizó un cuestionario con 15 preguntas aplicado a 53 estudiantes. Las variables observadas consistieron en las enfermedades zoonóticas identificadas y la percepción de riesgo por parte de los estudiantes. Los datos se analizaron mediante estadística descriptiva a través del programa estadístico SPSS. Las enfermedades zoonóticas identificadas por los estudiantes fueron brucelosis (31,2 %), rabia (24,7 %) toxoplasmosis (13 %) tuberculosis (6,5 %), toxocariasis (6,4 %), leptospirosis (2,6 %), leishmaniasis (2,6 %), escabiosis (2,6 %), carbunco (2,6 %), clostridiosis (2,6 %), coccidiosis (1,3 %), esporotricosis (1,3 %), salmonelosis (1,3 %) y encefalitis (1,3 %). El 58 % de los estudiantes manifestaron una percepción de riesgo media referente a las enfermedades zoonóticas, el 23 % una percepción baja y el 19 % una percepción de riesgo alta. Se recomienda reforzar capacitaciones concernientes a estas patologías y sus medidas preventivas.

El artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el modo en el que se construyen los sentidos de la ciudadanía (a)sexual infantil mediante el análisis discursivo del debate parlamentario sobre la ley de grooming en Argentina en ambas cámaras legislativas. Se consideran como premisas los aportes de estudios de sexualidad(es) y de los estudios sociales de infancia, desde una metodología sociosemiótica. El análisis enfoca específicamente el repertorio temático del debate: las dislocaciones de la espacialidad, la temporalidad y la autoridad familiar que imponen las nuevas tecnologías al gobierno de la infancia, como así también, la función protectora del estado. El relevamiento y análisis de los tópicos emergentes en el debate permiten mostrar cómo los discursos de prevención de la violencia sexual hilvanan una axiología moral que regula los modos aceptables de experimentar la sexualidad en la infancia y la reproducción del orden heterofamiliar.

El siguiente proyecto de investigación pretende evidenciar por medio de cartografía problemáticas sobre la presencia de habitantes establecidos en zonas periurbanas marginadas de alto riesgo ante diversos acontecimientos naturales, lo anterior, es incentivado en gran medida por la segregación socio-espacial e indiferencia del aparato gubernamental mexicano sismos, inundaciones, deslizamientos de tierra, colapso de techos de minas, entre otros, mismos que hacen más vulnerable a este tipo de población que se establece en zonas no aptas para la habitabilidad debido a las características geográficas del sitio, ejemplificando con barrancas, perímetros de inundación, zonas minadas y Áreas Naturales Protegidas (ANP). Lo anterior es evidenciado con muestras de problemáticas acontecidas recientemente en Michoacán, Ciudad de México (CDMX) y Estado de México (EDOMEX), los anteriores lugares son las escalas de trabajo del presente análisis, identificados desde la geografía, puntualizando que el espacio geográfico y la naturaleza no siempre está limitada a una sola escala de trabajo. Es urgente realizar planes de reestructuración urbana debidamente gestionados en ciertos Estados de la República Mexicana; instaurando en la población la concientización, sensibilización y reflexión, con el objetivo de evitar crecimiento en áreas periurbanas, deteniendo paulatinamente el riesgo y por ende impedir con mecanismos de protección civil pérdidas de vidas humanas. Así mismo, implantar conexión directa en áreas periurbanas, fomentando en todo momento reforestación, reparación, recuperación de ANP, reconfiguración de áreas en riesgo alto e incorporación al ámbito rural o urbano territorios periurbanos según sus características geográficas.

Previous studies suggest that women are often perceived as less corrupt and more risk averse, possibly due to longstanding asymmetries in power and marginalization that reproduce certain gender stereotypes. However, much remains unclear regarding the origins of these perceptions. Why are some individuals and societies more prone to perceive women as less corrupt than men? We present the first cross‐country examination of these questions utilizing data from the latest wave of the World Values Survey, covering a total of 49 countries. Our results suggest that both perceived riskiness of corruption and attitude toward gender equality, in addition to the overall level of gender inequality in society, matter in explaining a stronger belief in gender differences in corruptness. However, the positive association between a higher perceived riskiness and the perception that women are less corrupt is mostly limited to societies with high levels of corruption and gender inequality.

Recent research indicates that public and private organizations worldwide face cybersecurity breaches due to a need for more cybersecurity awareness among their employees. This study assesses the cybersecurity culture in different organizations across various sectors in Leon City, Mexico. For this purpose, an evaluation process was implemented, which involved anonymous online surveys among employees from multiple sectors, including service companies, wholesale trade businesses, manufacturing industries, construction companies, and retail trade establishments. The study took place in 2022 and achieved a response rate of 73.33% from employees across the participating organizations. The findings underscore the necessity of fostering a robust cybersecurity culture within Leon City organizations, which entails implementing ongoing security awareness training programs to empower employees with the knowledge and skills to mitigate cyber risks effectively. Analyzing the results reveals valuable insights regarding the countermeasures implemented by organizations in Leon City to strengthen their cybersecurity defenses and minimize the risk surface. These insights enhance cybersecurity strategies and fortify the overall security posture of organizations operating in Leon City. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Informal settlements in Latin America generally present high levels of vulnerability as they are located in multi-hazard zones. Faced with this problem, we propose to analyze how disaster risk has been constructed in the peri-urban area of the city of Quito. By means of a mixed methodological design, the case of the parish of El Condado and the neighborhood of Colinas del Norte are analyzed. The qualitative, quantitative, and socio-spatial information processed allows us to show at different scales that, although regularization policies have managed to formalize tenure and ownership in the sector, their legalization has not reversed the risk conditions and, on the contrary, has reproduced and generated other types of physical and social vulnerabilities.

Objective: To evaluate the level of COVID-19 risk perception (PCR-CV19) by returning to in-person classes and to analyze this perception with sociodemographic and health variables associated with such disease. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional and prospective study. The questionnaire was adapted to assess the PCR-CV19 among 532 university students. Moreover, an association analysis of the four dimensions of the PCR-CV19 (cognitive vulnerability, emotional vulnerability, risky-protective behaviors and severity) and the perception index was performed with sociodemographic and health variables. The following statistical methods were used: one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), Shapiro-Wilk test for normality, Levene's test for homogeneity of variances and Tukey's honest significant difference or Games-Howell post hoc tests. These analyses were performed using the Jamovi statistical software, version 1.2.2. Results: A moderate level of PCR-CV19 was found, where the most relevant dimensions were risky-protective behaviors and severity. In addition, there was an association between the dimensions PCR-CV19 and perception index with the variables age, gender, alcohol consumption, physical and mental health indicators (anxiety and depression), and experiences with COVID-19. Cognitive vulnerability and emotional vulnerability were the most sensitive dimensions in the evaluation of the PCR-CV19. Conclusions: We continue to face constant risk conditions, thus making it necessary to maintain a surveillance scheme of the PCR-CV19 experienced by the population. In university students, cognitive vulnerability and emotional vulnerability were the most sensitive dimensions in the evaluation of PCR-CV19 and experiences with COVID-19 (illness or death). The fact that university students do not feel vulnerable and/or do not perceive the severity associated with COVID-19 transmission may affect their self-care behaviors. These results have key implications for public health; therefore, an intersectoral approach is required to have relevant information in order to face future pandemics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Citizen insecurity has become an unavoidable challenge for human development in Latin America. Citizens of the region point to crime and violence as factors that limit their real opportunities and their right to live a life free of fear and threats. The object of study was theoretical foundation regarding insecurity and its impact on tourism activity in Latin American countries. The methodology that was applied was a documentary design and the type of study was explanatory and bibliographic. Without security, the image of tourist destinations becomes blurred, the distancing of potential visitors becomes evident and activity is inexorably reduced. Furthermore, security is a vital issue that has an impact on the quality of the services that make up this activity, for those different destinations and products, as well as for the demanding and changing markets that increase spectacularly year after year around the world, the application of public policies and strategies focused on sustainable development is vital. Permanence over time will be achieved and will be enjoyed by the following generations. Governments should act in favor of national, regional and international peace and security, which are essential for the development of national and international tourism. Under this general premise, the global system of stability in safe environments becomes essential for adequate planning of activity in society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The objective of this research is to establish a relationship between the theory of multiple intelligences with the management and use of credit cards, including risk, patience, and economic education. This will allow the establishment of a line of marketing and consumption contextualized to the types of intelligence. Method: The design is observational -correlational, and this analysis was done using structural equation modeling (SEM). There were 498 participants in the study. Results: We found there was a positive relationship between the logical-mathematical and personal intelligences (intra and inter) with the management of patience, risk conditions, and tendency toward indebtedness. In the conceptual review, no studies were found that relate the present variables. In the same sense, the present work helps the marketing processes and product design better fit the profile of the user and/or buyer. Conclusion: Finally, it sheds light on the construction of public policy for the management of marketing and financial education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
