Inclusive Recruitment: Exploring Theories, Legal Aspects, and Trans Talent in the Corporate World
Get PDFThe labor market is accompanied by mechanisms that distinguish and separate certain groups from society, regardless of the capabilities and capacities of individuals. There are a series of social and cultural practices that condition the exclusion of trans people in different areas, particularly in the labor sector. Research with qualitative, exploratory, flexible design methodology was carried out with the objective of identifying the barriers in the hiring process of a trans person in a company of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires in the period from May to July 2022. After the development of this research, it was described how gender stereotypes typical of the heteropatriarchal system interfere negatively in the labor insertion of trans women. The recent research analyzed highlights the inequalities and exclusions that this group still suffers, both internationally and in the local context. Specifically in Argentina, it is observed that years after the enactment of the Gender Identity Law and the achievements made in recent years in terms of recognition, there is still resistance to change and evident forms of discrimination against this group in terms of labor market insertio

Workplace Violence in the Health Sector: Focus on the Argentinean context
Get PDFWorkplace violence is classified according to the focus of analysis: type of aggression (physical, psychological, and sexual) and according to the perpetrator (internal violence, if it is a member of the organization and external when it is a user or his/her companions). The impact on the worker\u27s health is severe; the psychological damage is the first to be registered, with all the progressive symptoms of stress: cognitive disorders - loss of immediate memory, dispersion of attention and concentration, permanent state of alertness, self-reproach, anguish, depression, exhaustion, sensation of unreality, fantasies of annihilation, fragmentation of identity, sleep disorders and conflict with affective relationships and bonds of belonging. The studies analyzed show that the effects of aggression are varied and will depend on the frequency and severity of the episodes and the vulnerability caused by the number of episodes, which cause deterioration in the quality of care, suffering, and illness of those involved, thus affecting not only the personnel involved but also having repercussions on their families and the environment outside the workplace. Therefore, it is essential to investigate and analyze the factors involved in the different situations that arise and thus be able to intervene promptly. Statistics show that violence is more frequent the younger the staff is and more frequent in the case of women. It is also evident that not only age and sex are the factors that have the most significant impact on acts of violence, but other variants, such as nationality, place of work, and position held, influence the moment of being victims of aggression in the work environmen
Agroecological transition from the establishment of Sacha Inchi with the producers of Sacha-Huila
Get PDFDuring the course in the historical development of humanity, it has been verified that the activity of harvesting has promoted social well-being due to the implementation of agriculture. There is a large number of articles in the literature, which confirm the importance that agricultural development has had in the advances of society. In this sense, natural resources must be protected and policies must be established that are aimed at achieving the improvement of individual and collective efforts focused on the preservation of resources that are currently running out. That is why, the agricultural production systems must be modified, so that they achieve their optimization, and in this way, contribute to the sustainable development of the social environment. Therefore, it is proposed as an objective to characterize the process of agroecological transition from the establishment of Sacha Inchi with the producers of SACHA-HUILA. For its achievement, a qualitative analysis was carried out in the study areas taking into account the historicity of the land use and intervention of the territory (social landscape, productive landscape) that finally allowed obtaining preliminary results of the agroecological transition process of the Sacha crop Inchi

Evaluation of educational intervention on sexually transmitted diseases in adolescents
Get PDFIntroduction: insufficient knowledge about Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) among adolescents is a serious problem that requires attention. Sex education is essential to address this problem and promote a healthy relationship with sexuality. Adolescence is a critical stage for establishing behaviors and attitudes, and effective educational programs are critical to improve knowledge and awareness of STIs in this vulnerable population. Methods: an educational intervention study was conducted to improve STI knowledge in adolescents. The effectiveness of the intervention was evaluated by means of before and after questionnaires, being considered effective if more than 80 % of the sample improved their knowledge. Results: active sexual life increases the risk of STIs. Education is essential to prevent them, but lack of information and social taboos are obstacles. After an educational intervention, adolescents improved their knowledge, including symptoms, prevention and behavior to follow. This highlights the importance of education in promoting healthy sexuality and prevention. Conclusions: adolescents have little knowledge about STIs before education, which improves their understanding. Lack of parental information and social taboos contribute to this lack. Adequate understanding of STIs is essential for informed sexual health decisions. Sex education should be a shared responsibility between family, school and health professionals, actively involving adolescent
Community Oral Health Promotion: Evaluation of an Educational Intervention for the Prevention of Oral Cancer and Premalignant Lesions
Get PDFIntroduction: oral cancer is one of the top ten locations of cancer incidence in the world and in Cuba. Objective: develop a community intervention for the promotion and prevention of premalignant lesions and oral cancer in patients aged 19-59 years. Method: community intervention with experimental design, with pre-test, post-test and control group, in clinics 1, 3 and 24 belonging to the three polyclinics of the Isle of Youth in the period 2017-2019. The sample was 1300 patients distributed in the three offices, being probabilistic, simple random. An experiment group and a control group were determined for each office, made up of the same number of patients. Theoretical, empirical and mathematical-statistical methods were used and the variables: age groups, sex, risk factors, oral hygiene and level of knowledge about premalignant lesions and oral cancer. Results: the age group of 35-59 years predominated for 71,7 % and the female sex for 63,7 % in the studied sample. Before the intervention, a bad level of knowledge predominated, representing 43,7 % of the experimental group, managing to raise it too good after the intervention by 67,5 %, reducing the risk factors initially detected. Conclusions: the use of new information and communication technologies in promotion and prevention activities contributed to raising the level of knowledge about premalignant lesions and oral cancer, the main risk factors and oral self-examination, and to transforming the ways of performance
