Subjects > Engineering Fundación Universitaria Internacional de Colombia > Research > Articles and books Abierto Inglés, Español En el presente artículo se expone un análisis comparativo sobre las acciones y los resultados que muestran tres empresas petroleras de América Latina (Ecopetrol, Pemex y Petrobras) en sus informes anuales de responsabilidad social empresarial. Antes de hacer el análisis se expone una revisión del concepto de responsabilidad social empresarial y su evolución a lo largo de la historia, así como un panorama general de la industria petrolera en América Latina y su relación con el tema de la sostenibilidad ambiental. Luego se explica la metodología del estudio, que en este caso es, fundamentalmente, una investigación documental, con enfoque socio-crítico. En tercer lugar se presentan los datos más importantes relacionados con las tres dimensiones de la sostenibilidad, esto es, la económica, la ambiental y la social, tomando como base los informes anuales de sostenibilidad de las tres empresas. También se revisan algunas noticias relacionadas con aspectos sociales y ambientales que involucran a las tres empresas. Por último se procede al análisis correspondiente de los datos expuestos y se concluye que si bien las tres petroleras latinoamericanas elaboran sus informes con base en las tres dimensiones de la sostenibilidad, aún no se alcanzan los niveles óptimos de inversión social y ambiental que se requiere para lograr cumplir con los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible trazados por la Agenda 2030.

University of La Romana > Research > Scientific Production Abierto Inglés Aim: The development of predictive models for patients treated by emergency medical services (EMS) is on the rise in the emergency field. However, how these models evolve over time has not been studied. The objective of the present work is to compare the characteristics of patients who present mortality in the short, medium and long term, and to derive and validate a predictive model for each mortality time. Methods: A prospective multicenter study was conducted, which included adult patients with unselected acute illness who were treated by EMS. The primary outcome was noncumulative mortality from all causes by time windows including 30-day mortality, 31- to 180-day mortality, and 181- to 365-day mortality. Prehospital predictors included demographic variables, standard vital signs, prehospital laboratory tests, and comorbidities. Results: A total of 4830 patients were enrolled. The noncumulative mortalities at 30, 180, and 365 days were 10.8%, 6.6%, and 3.5%, respectively. The best predictive value was shown for 30-day mortality (AUC = 0.930; 95% CI: 0.919–0.940), followed by 180-day (AUC = 0.852; 95% CI: 0.832–0.871) and 365-day (AUC = 0.806; 95% CI: 0.778–0.833) mortality. Discussion: Rapid characterization of patients at risk of short-, medium-, or long-term mortality could help EMS to improve the treatment of patients suffering from acute illnesses.

University of La Romana > Research > Scientific Production Abierto Inglés To improve organisational performance, it is crucial to cultivate an environment and culture that, through shared values, attitudes, behaviours, and sentiments, enables all employees to feel comfortable in performing their work. This represents a recognised gap within the current Cuban business context. Drawing from identified challenges and the introduction of a values-based coaching programme at the state-owned company GEDEME to address this gap, the aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of the values-based coaching programme (CpV) on organisational culture among both tactical and strategic employees within GEDEME. The research adopts a mixed-methods design. On one hand, the non-parametric McNemar test was utilised to assess before-and-after differences, while a case-study approach facilitated the exploration of specific questions, such as identifying the values actually practised beyond those outlined in the formal business plan and understanding the extent and nature of value shifts following the implementation of the coaching programme. The results confirmed the primary hypothesis: the values-based coaching programme at GEDEME had a positive effect on employees' perceptions of organisational culture, resulting in a substantial increase in the number of values both practised and perceived by its members.

Ibero-american International University > Research > Articles and Books Abierto Inglés This research aims to gather opinions from experts in the European tourism sector regarding training needs to address severe crises, such as Covid, in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) across five countries: Spain, Iceland, Ireland, Scotland, and Germany. This study was conducted within the scope of the European TC-NAV project, which is funded by the European Union. The ultimate goal of this project is to develop training solutions for European SMEs Most existing literature on tourism crises primarily examines the impact on destinations as a whole rather than on individual tourism enterprises. Thus, this research is both relevant and timely The methodology employed was qualitative, and data being collected using a 9-question interview guide. This guide underwent validation by experts, achieving a Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.7. In total, 30 individuals were interviewed: 5 civil servants, 9 company directors, 5 university professors, 6 researchers, and 5 entrepreneurs. Some notable findings include the importance of innovation for change, promoting sustainable tourism, fostering informal partnerships among regional companies, the essential role of government support, the benefits of flexible planning and service digitisation, and the ongoing need for training and upskilling.

Universidad Internacional do Cuanza > Research > Articles and books Abierto Inglés In the last two decades, there is an increasingly broad line of studies that warn about the emotional health of journalists and the challenges that it poses for communication professionals to be able to separate work issues from their personal lives. The coverage of COVID-19 exposed many journalists to situations of frustration, discomfort and stress for various reasons: long working hours, not having the appropriate technological material, added to an environment of uncertainty caused by the pandemic. This study aims to examine the possible scope of technostress –in some cases associated to digital divide– in journalists and analyze if they are aware of the uses of care of the self as a way to deal with stressful situations. For this, our research is based on documentary analysis, a survey answered by (50) fifty Argentinean journalists, and twelve (12) in-depth interviews to experienced journalists. Our findings suggest that constant exposure to computers and smartphones during the lockdown together with difficulties to connect to Internet or to have the adequate materials and the lack of coping strategies –as the care of the self– confirms the presence of technostress. Another result that emerges from this research, it should be addressed in future studies, is that some journalists’ reactions about care of the self could respond to the third person effect theory to maintain high self-esteem and not demonstrate vulnerability.

Universidad Internacional do Cuanza > Research > Articles and books Abierto Inglés Innovation plays a pivotal role in the progress and goodwill of an organization, and its ability to thrive. Consequently, the impact analysis of innovation on the performance of an organization holds great importance. This paper presents a two-stage analytical framework to examine the impact of business innovation on a firm’s performance, especially firms from the manufacturing sector. The prime objective is to identify the factors that have an impact on firm-level innovation, and to examine the impact of firm-level innovation on business performance. The framework and its analysis are based on the latest World Bank enterprise survey, with a sample size of 696 manufacturing firms. The first stage of the proposed framework establishes the analytical results through Bivariate Probit, which indicates that research and development (R&D) has a significantly positive impact on the product, process, marketing, and organizational innovations. It thus highlights the important role of the allocation of lump-sum amounts for R&D activities. The statistical analysis shows that innovation does not depend on the size of the firms. Moreover, the older firms are found to be wiser at conducting R&D than newer firms that are reluctant to take risks. The second stage of the proposed framework separately analyzes the impacts of the product and organizational innovation, and the process and marketing innovation on the firm performance, and finds them to be statistically significant and insignificant, respectively.

Universidad Internacional do Cuanza > Research > Articles and books Abierto Inglés This article proposes a discussion on the form of coexistence of local Development Agencies in Uruguay, with local governments in the face of the new scenarios marked by the decentralization process, initiated in the country with the Constitutional Reform of 1996 and culminating in February 2009, with the Law of Political Decentralization and Citizen Participation. The discussion applies in particular to the local development agency of the city of Rivera (ADR), located in the northeast of the country. A descriptive, mixed, bibliographic, documentary investigation was carried out with primary data collection to internal and external references to ADR. The results show that the coexistence of both institutions has been difficult, without defining clear roles.

Universidad Internacional do Cuanza > Research > Articles and books Abierto Inglés Angola, as with many countries on the African continent, has great inequalities or asymmetries between its provinces. At the economic, financial, and technological level, there is a great disparity between them, where it is observed that the province of Luanda is the largest financial business center to the detriment of others, such as Moxico, Zaire, and Cabinda. In the latter, despite the advantages of high oil production, from a regional point of view, they remain almost stagnant in time, in a social dysfunction where the population lives on extractivism and artisanal fishing. This article analyzes the most important events in contemporary regional history, the Portuguese occupation that was the Portuguese colonial rule over Angola (1890–1930) and the civil war that was a struggle between Angolans for control of the country (1975–2002), in the consolidation of the asymmetries between provinces. For this work, a theoretical-reflective study was conducted based on the reading of books, articles, and previous investigations on the phenomenon studied. Considering the interpretation and analysis of the theoretical content obtained through the bibliographic research conducted, this theoretical construction approaches the qualitative approach. We conclude that the deep inequalities between regions and within them, between the provinces studied, originated historically in the form of exploitation of the regions and from the consequences of the war. The asymmetries, observed through the variables studied show that the provinces historically explored and considered object regions present a lower growth compared to those that were considered subject regions in which the applied geopolitical strategy, as they are centers of primary production flows, was different. We also observe that, due to the conflicts of the civil war in the less developed regions, the inequalities have deepened, contributing seriously to a higher level of poverty and a lower development of the provinces where these conflicts took place.

Ibero-american International University > Research > Articles and books Abierto Español La investigación se basó en el Modelo de madurez para la gestión de proyectos del sector público de la Alcaldía de Chinácota-Colombia. Su objetivo fue identificar las prácticas aplicadas por la organización en la madurez de sus procesos; aplicando el Modelo de madurez, se evaluó las capacidades y desempeño de los integrantes del área de gestión de proyectos. Para el desarrollo del trabajo se aplicó la investigación proyectiva, un diseño de campo No Experimental y Transversal, se empleó un enfoque mixto, la observación, el análisis FODA, la encuesta y la revisión bibliográfica; para el procesamiento de la información se empleó el SPSS y se aplicó la estadística descriptiva e inferencial para el análisis y tratamiento de los resultados. El enfoque teórico permitió fundamentar el Modelo de Madurez OPM3 para la Gestión de Proyectos en la organización; además, se analizó el marco legal y normas del Banco de proyectos de la inversión pública en Colombia. En conclusión, el grado de madurez resultante fue del 24,99% (bajo) relacionado al conocimiento, los factores internos-externos muestran problemas de conocimientos imprecisos dentro del área de proyectos, existe alta rotación de sus funcionarios, no se cuenta con suficientes recursos para su gestión; la práctica de proyectos evidencia indefinición y desactualización de la madurez en su gestión. También, se detectó que todas las prácticas asociadas a la gestión de riesgo y adquisiciones tienen exceso de burocracia, en los procesos de estandarización tienen alto grado de cumplimiento en la gestión del alcance, tiempo, integración y riesgo.

Introduction
The judicialization of health arose following the possibility of judicially demanding the right to health before national and international courts. In the case of Colombia, health litigation is done through a constitutional tool called the tutela action, which allows for the immediate protection of fundamental rights.
Methods
A retrospective cross-sectional study using a probabilistic stratified sample of 1031 users of the tutela actions, in Medellín, Colombia, between 2011 and 2014. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed, using statistical tests and multiple logistic regression models.
Results
According to the respondents, 95.9% of the tutela actions succeeded in favour of the applicant. On average, the judicial process took 10.96 days (SD = 8.09). After the favourable decision of the tutela action, access to health care followed in 76.2% of cases, partial access was found for 14.0% (median, 10 d), and in 9.8% of cases, claimants had not received access to the health care they sought.
Conclusion
The tutela action is an essential constitutional mechanism that guarantees the access to health services. However, it must be strengthened from the legal point of view through the implementation of monitoring and control actions and by imposing the sanctioning measures and deadlines established in existing legislation.
