“Esta mañana me fui a bañar… ¡¿y no me habían cortado el agua?! La expresión de la admiratividad en la construcción “y no + verbo”: descripción dialectal en el español”
No full textTesis (Magíster en Letras con mención en Lingüística)--Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2025Este artículo se propone describir el funcionamiento de la construcción "y no + verbo" en relación con el grado de dominio, la identificación de la admiratividad y el tiempo verbal preferido en español. A través de un muestreo intencionado con cuotas de afijación uniforme, se recopilaron 210 respuestas de participantes procedentes de 21 países de habla hispana. Estos evaluaron la gramaticalidad y el valor de sorpresa de la estructura en su variedad dialectal, en función de si conocían o usaban la expresión y si la asociaban a un contexto admirativo. El análisis cuantitativo muestra que el grado de dominio varía significativamente según el lugar de origen, mientras que la identificación del valor de sorpresa se correlaciona con el tiempo verbal utilizado y el país del hablante. Además, se observa que los participantes reconocen con mayor frecuencia la admiratividad cuando la construcción "y no + verbo" se emplea con tiempos verbales pasados, aunque otras categorías temporales también pueden expresar valores admirativos. Estos resultados sugieren la necesidad de investigar más a fondo los factores que influyen en los procesos de gramaticalización de los marcadores de admiratividad en los diferentes dialectos del español.2025-04-1
From Vulnerability to Promise: Perspectives on Ricœur from Women Philosophers
No full textFrom the outset, Paul Ricœur’s work gives centrality to man's bodily and sensitive nature—his primordial affectivity and fragility—as sources of free action. From Vulnerability to Promise: Perspectives on Ricœur from Women Philosophers explores this dimension and its ethical, political, and conceptual implications, focusing on the embodied dimension of existence, its vulnerability, and its possibilities of attestation and recognition. Edited by Sophie-Jan Arrien and Beatriz Contreras, this book examines the relationships—passivity and activity, mind and body, singularity and sociality, finitude and transcendence—that lie at the heart of Ricœur’s philosophical anthropology, revealing its ontological richness and ethical significance. Within this dimension, the ten contributors approach personal human identity in Ricœur’s work from multiple perspectives: the narrative dimension of understanding; birth and privacy; freedom and recognition; love and consent; justice and respect in the face of abuse; the vulnerability of our natural environment; our inescapable finitude. These viewpoints are informed by both their vision as women philosophers, empowering their embodied condition in a reflexive way, and the urgency of reflecting on the human condition in order to find continuity between its passionate, affective, and finite forces
Shoulder surgery in Chile: how far we have come and our future challenges
No full textShoulder surgery in Chile has seen a remarkable development in the last 2 decades. From a handful of overseas-trained pioneers, Chilean shoulder surgeons now have a growing and robust society with more than 150 members with 8 fellowship programs and around 10 new fellowship-trained shoulder surgeons graduating every year. Academic activity has been steadily improving in both quality and quantity, aspiring to reach the standards of Europe and North America. State-of-the-art clinical practice is the standard in larger cities with considerable access issues in more remote areas of the country. In the broader picture, the country has a mixed public-private insurance system with a health budget that accounts for 9% of the gross domestic product (GDP).27 Although private insurance is accessible to only approximately 18% of the population, the elevated out-of-pocket cost of health care is a growing issue, especially for elective surgery. In this narrative review, we provide an overview of the development of shoulder surgery in Chile. We will discuss our health care system, surgical rates, and waiting lists issues and address the challenges along with opportunities for future developments. By discussing our strengths, limitations, opportunities, and threats, we aim to provide the reader with useful insights into global health care issues around shoulder surgery and exemplify potential solutions and barriers
Retrospective study on disparities in time-to-treatment by health insurance system in Chilean breast cancer patients
No full textBreast cancer is the most common malignancy in the Americas, and the second leading cause of cancer death. Disparities in the time to treatment can significantly impact patient outcomes and typically affect lower socioeconomic individuals and/or ethnic minorities. Our study sought to evaluate disparities in time to treatment at three health institutions in Chile according to their type of health insurance (public or private). METHODS Our study analyzed a database of breast cancer patients diagnosed between 2017 and 2018. Analyses included descriptive statistics and a linear regression model that incorporated clinical and demographic variables. Additionally, using a proportional risks model, we analyzed the association between clinical variables and mortality. RESULTS Public health insurance (National Health Fund, FONASA) was associated with longer time-to-treatment and extended treatment times versus private health insurance (Social Security Institutions, ISAPRE; p < 0.0001). As expected, a more advanced stage at diagnosis was associated with lower survival. Our proportional risks model found that age was a predictor of breast cancer mortality in stage II patients. Also, total treatment time significantly increased the risk of breast cancer mortality in stage I patients. Conversely, total treatment time did not affect mortality on stages II or III. CONCLUSIONS We found significant disparities in the time to treatment of Chilean breast cancer patients using FONASA versus private ISAPRE. FONASA patients experience delays in the initiation of treatment and longer total treatment times compared to their private insurance counterparts. Finally, longer time-to-treatment was associated with more advanced stages and increased mortality
Registros de inscripción y clasificación de organizaciones de la sociedad civil en Chile. Experiencia del registro de personas jurídicas sin fines de lucro
No full textTesis (Magister en Políticas Publicas)--Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, 2024El presente informe tiene objetivo principal identificar las necesidades y desafíos en torno a la creación de un Registro Único de Organizaciones Sociales en Chile, tomando como referencia la experiencia del Registro de Personas Jurídicas sin Fines de Lucro, administrado por el Registro Civil. Esto con la finalidad de contribuir al fortalecimiento de la sociedad civil en el país, generando un sistema sistematizado de información, que permita a las organizaciones llegar a los territorios que necesite para cumplir con el objeto social que definan, entendiendo que, dicha información tiene carácter de bien público. Al mismo tiempo se busca reconocer y relevar la importancia del sector como vehículo de las relaciones entre las personas y el Estado, de forma de establecer una base sólida para el diseño futuro de políticas asociadas a la temática.La relevancia de este tema recae en el crecimiento explosivo que han tenido las organizaciones en los últimos 20 años. Los datos del Centro de Políticas Públicas de la Universidad Católica indican que, en términos brutos, la tasa anual promedio de creación de organizaciones sociales entre los años 2005 y 2023 es del 10,8%. Sin embargo, pese al tamaño del sector, las políticas públicas implementadas no han logrado abordar sus necesidades de forma correcta. Esto ha generado limitaciones en el entendimiento de las contribuciones del sector, así como restricciones en cuanto a la interacción entre Estado y organizaciones. Para poder identificar los desafíos en torno a esta materia, en el desarrollo de la investigación se aplicó un enfoque cualitativo, que incluyó el análisis bibliográfico de la teoría existente, la comparación de experiencia internacional, y la exploración de perspectivas mediante el uso de entrevistas semiestructuradas con actores claves. Este trabajo permitió identificar las debilidades operativas del Registro de Personas Jurídicas sin Fines de Lucro, así como los vacíos normativos que existen actualmente. Al mismo tiempo, el análisis internacional proporcionó aprendizajes relevantes sobre implementaciones de Registros de Organizaciones. Esto, abarca tanto acciones que deberían implementarse, como aspectos que requieren especial atención durante el diseño de la propuesta
XSIM: A structural similarity index measure optimized for MRI QSM
No full textPurpose: The structural similarity index measure (SSIM) has become a popular quality metric to evaluate QSM in a way that is closer to human perception than RMS error (RMSE). However, SSIM may overpenalize errors in diamagnetic tissues and underpenalize them in paramagnetic tissues, resulting in biasing. In addition, extreme artifacts may compress the dynamic range, resulting in unrealistically high SSIM scores (hacking). To overcome biasing and hacking, we propose XSIM: SSIM implemented in the native QSM range, and with internal parameters optimized for QSM. Methods: We used forward simulations from a COSMOS ground-truth brain susceptibility map included in the 2016 QSM Reconstruction Challenge to investigate the effect of QSM reconstruction errors on the SSIM, XSIM, and RMSE metrics. We also used these metrics to optimize QSM reconstructions of the in vivo challenge data set. We repeated this experiment with the QSM abdominal phantom. To validate the use of XSIM instead of SSIM for QSM quality assessment across a range of different reconstruction techniques/algorithms, we analyzed the reconstructions submitted to the 2019 QSM Reconstruction Challenge 2.0. Results: Our experiments confirmed the biasing and hacking effects on the SSIM metric applied to QSM. The XSIM metric was robust to those effects, penalizing the presence of streaking artifacts and reconstruction errors. Using XSIM to optimize QSM reconstruction regularization weights returned less overregularization than SSIM and RMSE. Conclusion: XSIM is recommended over traditional SSIM to evaluate QSM reconstructions against a known ground truth, as it avoids biasing and hacking effects and provides a larger dynamic range of scores
Preventing algorithm aversion: People are willing to use algorithms with a learning label
No full textAs algorithms often outperform humans in prediction, algorithm aversion is economically harmful. To enhance algorithm utilization, we suggest emphasizing their learning capabilities, i.e., their increasing predictive precision over time, through the explicit addition of a "learning" label. We conducted five incentivized studies in which 1,167 participants may prefer algorithms or take up algorithmic advice in a financial or healthcare related task. Our results suggest that people use algorithms with a learning label to a greater extent than algorithms without such a label. As the accuracy of advice improves beyond a threshold, the use of algorithms with a learning label increases more than algorithms without a label. Thus, we show that a salient learning attribute can positively affect algorithm use in both the financial and health domain.Fondecy

Épico
No full textOs anos do calendário já haviam chegado ao número de 1348 quando uma peste mortífera atacou a Europa. Como lidaram no passado com uma pandemia de tamanha magnitude? Quais foram as consequências sociais dessa catástrofe? O que mudou nas relações de poder da sociedade feudal?Estamos em 2020, vivendo um épico momento a nível nacional e internacional que parece não ter saída. ÉPICO convida os espectadores e espectadoras a viajar pela História e se perguntar: o que podemos aprender do passado para transformar o nosso presente? Parte do Projeto Manifestos de Tercer Abstracto, o projeto se debruça nas propostas e manifestações teatrais do início do século XX para refletir sobre a cena contemporânea. Nesse projeto particular, o ponto de partida é Bertolt Brecht, quem indica uma proposta didática e narrativa que transforma o teatro numa potente sala de aula.ÉPICO é uma peça on-line, um jogo de comparações que pretende proporcionar ferramentas de análise. Tratando as condições sociais como acontecimentos em processo, pretende suscitar, como escreveu Brecht, “pensamentos e sentimentos que desempenhem um papel na modificação do contexto”.
