Compra compulsiva: revisión bibliométrica de la productividad científica desde 1985 hasta 2020
Get PDFEn la sociedad de consumo, los deseos se transforman en necesidades y esto incide en la emergencia de compra compulsiva y sus efectos negativos a nivel personal y social. Por ello se requiere un esfuerzo de análisis y síntesis sobre el conocimiento científico existente, que mejore nuestra comprensión del área. El objetivo es analizar el desarrollo de la producción científica –artículos empíricos individuales y revisiones- sobre la compra compulsiva, hasta el año 2020 en cualquier idioma. Mediante un análisis bibliométrico con criterios PRISMA, se localizaron 971 publicaciones en las bases de datos Web of Science, Scopus y PsycINFO. Los resultados señalan un aumento de la productividad desde 2005; al inglés como idioma prevalente; EE. UU. es el país predominante; la palabra clave más frecuente es compulsive buying. Se identifican tres equipos de investigación principales, con un análisis de contenido de sus publicaciones. Se reportan los artículos más citados. Se concluye que existe poca precisión investigativa, pese al incremento de productividad anual

La RSE en la gestión de la identidad de marca en medianas y grandes empresas en Manizales, Colombia
Get PDFThis article analyzes the way in which three Colombian companies manage their identity through Corporate Social Responsibility work, from a strategic conception of issuance and link with stakeholders. From the theoretical perspective the concepts of identity, brand image, as well as communication and Corporate Social Responsibility are approached. In the methodology, semi-structured interviews with 9 professionals linked to three companies under study were used, which inquired about the way in which these companies manage their identity and brand communication through the Corporate Social Responsibility actions. The results and conclusions show that although identity management is a very important issue for companies, they do not take into account in this work the Corporate Social Responsibility actions.Este artículo analiza la forma en que tres empresas colombianas gestionan su identidad mediante labores de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial, desde una concepción estratégica de emisión y vínculo con los stakeholders. Desde la perspectiva teórica se abordan los conceptos de identidad, imagen de marca, así como la comunicación y la Responsabilidad Social Empresarial. En la metodología se emplearon entrevistas semiestructuradas a 9 profesionales vinculados con tres empresas objeto de estudio, en donde se indagó sobre la forma en que estas empresas gestionan su identidad y la comunicación de marca mediante las acciones de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial. Los resultados y conclusiones demuestran que aunque la gestión de la identidad es un tema muy importante para las empresas, no tienen en cuenta en esta labor las acciones de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial
Relaciones entre las variables de la teoría económica y los instrumentos matemáticos para evaluar las condiciones de competencia y el poder de mercado
Get PDFThe sole existence of a market does not guarantee the maximum level of efficiency and social welfare it can provide through a competitive structure. As a result, a set of theoretical relationships and mathematical instruments have been developed to measure how far existing markets are from being competitive; as well as how much power firms have for setting prices and earn more than they would do in competitive markets. In this line, the current paper discusses and integrates diverse theoretical relationships and mathematical instruments underlying the assessment of competition conditions and market power and exhibits how the estimation of these instruments can be simplified to require only two variables: market shares and the price elasticity of demand.La sola existencia de un mercado no garantiza el máximo nivel de eficiencia y bienestar social que este puede alcanzar a través de una estructura competitiva. Como resultado, se han desarrollado un conjunto de relaciones teóricas e instrumentos matemáticos que permiten cuantificar qué tan lejos están los mercados existentes de ser competitivos, así como cuánto poder tienen las empresas para fijar precios y ganar más de lo que obtendrían en mercados competitivos. En este sentido, el presente documento analiza e integra diversas relaciones teóricas e instrumentos matemáticos que sustentan la evaluación de las condiciones de competencia y el poder de mercado, y muestra cómo la estimación de estos instrumentos se puede simplificar para requerir solo dos variables: participaciones de mercado y elasticidad precio de la demanda
Representación social y prácticas de consumo de Sistemas Electrónicos de Administración de Nicotina en población universitaria de Bogotá (Colombia)
Get PDFObjective: Colombia has had a tobacco control legislation since 2009, however there is no specific regulation on Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS). Therefore, it is crucial to characterize the qualitative dimensions of consumption. The study aimed to answer the question: What are the representations and practices of the university population regarding the consumption of SEAN? The objective of the study is to identify the practices and representations of ENDS consumers in order to obtain elements to guide the necessary actions to prevent their consumption.
Methods: This paper presents the results identified in the qualitative component of a main study on the prevalence of ENDS use among university students. 14 individual interviews and 1 focus group were conducted and analyzed with the NVivo10® software. The corpus consisted of the transcripts of the 14 interviews and 1 focus group, which constitutes a total of 116 pages of raw data. The techniques used were semi-structured interviews and focus groups, using the Microsoft Teams platform. Taking into account ethical aspects, in each interview and in the focus group the informed consent was read and authorization was requested for the interview to be recorded. The average duration of each interview was one hour and forty-five minutes and the focus group lasted a total of 120 minutes. The capture of practices and representation related to the use/non-use of SEAN was achieved by incorporating two phases of analysis: a)Inductive phase: it was developed with an ordered matrix on the theoretical categories of the project, b)Phase of deductive analysis was carried out based on processes typical of the founded theory that allowed expanding the analytical framework having as its axis the identification of consumption practices and the elements that make up the central core and the peripheral system of representation.
Results: The main results are the identification of consumption practices, from which it was derived that the central nucleus of the social representation of SEAN is non-autonomous, which enables a change that discourages its consumption. The reasons and practices for consuming ENDS are closely related to conventional cigarette consumption, which corresponds to the fact that 11 of the 14 interviewees who identify themselves as consumers have consumed conventional cigarettes and only two have been exclusive ENDS consumers. The following practices were identified: a) The consumption motivations were grouped like social, economic and socio-emotional; b) Three types of consumption spaces: prohibited, exclusive and recovered spaces. These last ones are places where you couldn't smoke cigarettes and now they feel empowered to vape; c) There are forms of differential consumption and access to ENDS related to the quality, price, exclusivity and adherence; d) Habits and rituals are not related to moments of daily life, as with cigarettes, but to practices such as searching for and mixing "salts" to obtain flavors, cleaning and maintaining the device, smoking tricks; e) About information channels among the interviewees it was noted that the practice of informed consumption is not frequent and that there are few sources of information that offer low confidence. Finally, the peripheral system of representation is made up of three elements: social dimension, the consumption of SEAN as a lifestyle, bodied and emotional dimension.
Conclusion: It is concluded that the actions to prevent the consumption of ENDS should start from the identification of particular and exclusive characteristics of the consumption of ENDS and the incorporation of the elements of the peripheral system that allow addressing a consumption not based on making informed decisions. The main finding is the identification of a non-autonomous representation that stems from the difficulty of establishing notable differentiations between conventional cigarette consumption and e-cigarettes. Therefore, the main vein of research that opens up is to delve into the particular and exclusive characteristics of this consumption.
It is essential to incorporate bodily, emotional, and especially social (interpersonal) dimensions as important variables in understanding the practices and representations of e-cigarettes through complex approaches that can break the solid elements on which conventional cigarette consumption is anchored, as it continues to define dynamics of electronic device consumption.
It is important at this point to recognize that emotions can be understood as the intermediary between the lived experience in the body and everything that happens in the environment. Thus, it is not possible to think of this representation without recognizing that consumption is an embodied exercise, and the absence of the body in discourses about e-cigarettes can be a revealing element of a disconnection between practices and meanings that are reinforced in the insistence on an action (smoking is smoking) despite the recognition of its negative effects on health (even though it should not be).
The understanding of the social representation of e-cigarette consumption in relation to specific practices related to it provides some clues on which to work on processes of information, communication, prevention, and regulation to discourage this consumption that appears relatively new.Objetivos: Colombia cuenta con una legislación de control del tabaco desde 2009 sin embargo, no existe una regulación específica sobre los Sistemas Electrónicos de Administración de Nicotina (SEAN), por lo tanto, es vital caracterizar las dimensiones cualitativas de consumo. El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar las prácticas y representaciones de los consumidores de SEAN con el fin de obtener elementos para orientar las acciones necesarias para prevenir su consumo.
Materiales y métodos: Este artículo presenta los resultados identificados en el componente cualitativo de una investigación macro sobre la prevalencia del uso de SEAN entre estudiantes universitarios. Se realizaron 14 entrevistas individuales y 1 grupo focal, analizados con el software NVivo10®.
Resultados: Se presentan como resultados principales la identificación de las prácticas de consumo, de las cuales se derivó que el núcleo central de la representación social sobre SEAN es no autónomo, lo que posibilita un cambio que desincentive su consumo; el sistema periférico de la representación está conformado por tres elementos: la dimensión social, el consumo de SEAN como estilo de vida y la dimensión corporal y emocional.
Conclusiones: Se concluye que las acciones de prevención de consumo de SEAN deben partir de la identificación de características particulares y exclusivas del consumo de SEAN y la incorporación de los elementos del sistema periférico que permitan abordar un consumo que no se basa en la toma de decisiones informadas
Formas de resistencia, experiencias y organización etnopolítica de una comunidad mapuche en provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina
Get PDFObjective: This paper seeks to contribute, from the perspective of Social Anthropology, to the analysis of the ethnopolitical organization and identity revaluation of indigenous communities in Argentina. For this purpose, we will focus on the organization process of the families of the Mapuche Kalfulafken community in the urban region of Carhué, province of Buenos Aires (Argentina), which has gained momentum in the last decades. In short, the aim is to analyze how indigenous claims in Carhué are constituted around territory, ethnic identity and living conditions by considering resistance strategies and access to resources over time and in relation to the different levels of the State -municipality, province and nation-. Central to this analysis is the indigenous emergence of recent times, which began in the 1990s and is characterized by a growing ethnic awareness and emergence. Additionally, reanalyzing the legislations that principally address the original pueblos of the country and the legal and regulatory advances that, in many cases, are due to the continued mobilization and organization of indigenous groups have been very important in the processes of identity reconstruction.
Materials and methods: The approach from which we start this research corresponds to the perspective of Social Anthropology. The fieldwork with the Mapuche families of Carhué began in 2018 from a specific demand to the research/outreach group to collaborate in their request for recognition before the provincial State (through the processing of their legal status). The steps to be followed in the research and the work guidelines were defined together with the community, so that the methodology is based on collaborative work. A bibliographic survey of theoretical antecedents was carried out. The research question focused on the forms of organization of the Mapuche families and their relationship with the processes of ethnic-identity reconfiguration in Carhué, framed in the context of the indigenous emergence and resurgence of ethnic and territorial demands in the area.
Returning to the field on several occasions, deepening the topics and reworking the methodological strategies allowed us to construct the objectives and better orient the research. The methodology was ethnographic and a diverse group of actors were interviewed: the members of the indigenous organization, inhabitants of Carhué, governmental and non-governmental officials, and others. Open and in-depth interviews, semi-structured interviews, individual, and group interviews were carried out. The aim was to reconstruct life histories and trajectories in order to try to understand social phenomena from the perspective of the actors. Thus, participant observation was an important part of the fieldwork. The perspective was nurtured and triangulated with the search for primary and secondary sources and complementary cases through the work in the local archive at the request of Kalfulafken, given the importance of making an approach with some historical depth to reconstruct the facts of persecution and violence against indigenous peoples in Argentina.
Results: The work is framed within the resurgence of the demands and processes of identity reconstruction that have been gaining strength in the country since the 1990s. The large presence of the indigenous population in urban spaces is highlighted in the face of the historically constructed ideas of denial, discrimination and exclusion that have their roots in the colonial period and continued with the formation of the National State. We focus on the history of ethnopolitical organization and the forms of resistance of the families of Carhué, which has gained momentum in the last decades and seeks to assert their presence in the urban environment. From which, the members appeal to distance themselves from and question the discourses promoted by state institutions that sought to dominate and make the indigenous population in the region invisible. In this way, we address the strategies and activities implemented by the Kalfulafken community that seek to question the 'official history' and demonstrate the subjugation, discrimination and invisibilization suffered and to reaffirm their current presence in Carhué. Such processes have led, on the one hand, to new links with other ethnopolitical groups, universities, national and local institutions, and on the other hand, to the generation of new spaces for participation and networks in the area in order to have greater visibility and strengthen their claims. In addition, we highlight the community's search for support and recognition from local authorities in order to make their claims viable.
Conclusions: From the analysis on the organizational processes of a Mapuche community in the province of Buenos Aires we can make several conclusions. On the one hand, in the absence of responses from the various levels of the State and the lack of implementation of laws and regulations concerning indigenous peoples, it is the communities that must mobilize and develop strategies to enforce their rights as pre-existing peoples. Despite the lack of response to the indigenous claims, the ethnopolitical organization of the community of Carhué continues to grow in order to make its presence visible at the local level and to claim the fulfillment of their rights and the recovery of their territories in order to have their own spaces and cultural autonomy for their reproduction. Another issue that was highlighted was the need for greater access to funds and social projects that would allow these objectives to be carried out and that would provide scholarships for the younger generations to study. That is to say that these requests that have arisen in the organization are linked, since in order to have autonomy they must have territories and funds to sustain it.
In summary, the above allows us to account for the local ethnopolitical work and the impact of the productions and materials produced within the framework of university extension to accompany such processes. Likewise, the presence of indigenous movements makes it clear that the state projects of a homogeneous Argentina have not been achieved. In the case of Kalfulafken we have been able to see that in addition to the processing of their legal status, the community seeks to generate new spaces for intervention and networks in the region to achieve greater visibility and strengthen their claims.Objetivo: Analizar desde una perspectiva etnográfica los procesos étnicos-identitarios y la organización etnopolítica de la población indígena en la localidad de Carhué, provincia de Buenos Aires (Argentina). Para ello fueron atendidas diversas cuestiones, como las estrategias, los reclamos y las formas de resistencia llevadas a cabo por las familias que la componen. En este análisis resulta central atender a la emergencia étnica de la década de 1990 en espacios urbanos y las legislaciones que tienen como principales destinatarios a los pueblos originarios del país.
Materiales y métodos: El trabajo con las familias mapuches de Carhué comenzó en 2018 a partir de una demanda específica para colaborar en la tramitación de su personería jurídica y las pautas de trabajo fueron definidas en conjunto. De esta manera, la metodología parte y se sustenta en el trabajo colaborativo. La perspectiva etnográfica se nutrió de entrevistas formales y dirigidas, charlas informales y observación participante, lo cual se trianguló con la búsqueda de fuentes en diversos archivos y la lectura bibliográfica de antecedentes teóricos en el tema.
Resultados: En este trabajo hemos mostrado la necesaria movilización y elaboración de estrategias de las comunidades indígenas para hacer cumplir sus derechos como pueblos preexistentes ante la ausencia de respuestas de los diversos niveles del Estado y la falta de implementación de las leyes y normativas concernientes a los pueblos indígenas.
Conclusiones: Pudimos observar que, a pesar de la falta de respuesta en relación con los reclamos indígenas, la organización etnopolítica de la comunidad de Carhué sigue creciendo en pos de visibilizar su presencia en el ámbito local, reclamar por el cumplimiento de derechos y por el acceso a la tierra para disponer de espacios propios para su reproducción y fortalecimiento
Accesibilidad en los videojuegos para población con discapacidad visual en Colombia
Get PDFIn recent years, the change in the design of video games has become evident, one of them is accessibility for people with different disabilities, despite the laws, which are very limited, there are no standards that require companies, industries and producers from different sectors implement this resource in their projects.
From this research, the objective is to investigate the importance that these inclusion games comply with the response to stimuli provided by the industry, in this field, and that the support that the country is giving to this need to be felt is also felt. this visually impaired population. Based on the mixed research methodology, different sources are investigated in order to demonstrate how necessary it is that there are models of inclusion in video games, both entertainment and educational (serious), thus reaching an identity model that. The lack of laws and resources that promote this industry is evidenced.
The project made it possible to describe the main strategies and resources that have been proposed and/or implemented in terms of accessibility for people with visual disabilities in Colombia, investigating and comparing the information obtained from the state of the art, and in this way conclude with the impact of these development methods, in the visually impaired population. An important impact has been the technological evolution that other countries have managed to develop for this type of population.
As a conclusion, a disparity was found in the development of this project, which is precisely the little accessibility that people with visual disabilities have to video games in Colombia, because beyond the interaction that exists with some, much more access is required. And above all more investment and enactment of laws that support this resource.
Using the mixed research methodology, different sources are investigated in order to demonstrate how necessary it is that there are models of inclusion in video games, both entertainment and educational (serious), thus reaching an identity pattern that gives as shows the lack of laws and resources that promote this industry. From this type of research, it was concluded that the lack of resources has been a legible mark that passes through these industries that have the panorama quite compromised by the demands of the market, but that due to this lack of economic resources they cannot reach the levels of implementation. to its mission and vision.
Observing what was said above, it becomes complex to be able to carry out a research that clearly defines the inclusion processes for this type of people with said disability in Colombia. Each model of each industry is defined in a different way, since not all of them have this offer in their services. Common to this type of population. What, then, allowed us to conclude this research, finding social differences in each production of a video game? The project allowed us to describe the main strategies that have been proposed and/or implemented in terms of accessibility for people with visual disabilities in Colombia, investigating and comparing the information obtained from the state of the art, as mentioned above. Thus, then, different responses were found to this inclusion, not only in entertainment games but also in educational ones, which in the end are also very important in the classroom, because not only should one think about the distraction game, but also about the playful nature of teaching, thus helping teachers in the development of their classes. In this way, we conclude with the impact of these development methods on the visually impaired population.
Another important point that could be evidenced is the evolution of technology, which has brought haptic systems, immersive and dynamic audio, as well as braille itself in digital systems, this, of course, has allowed progress towards much more logical and dynamic resources, but they continue to be limited precisely because they cannot be implemented correctly, due to their high purchasing value. We must think not of people who suffer from visual disabilities, but rather we must think of all social strata with this type of disability who can, with their resources, access this type of technology.
Each part of the intervention exercise with state and private companies led to results that concluded in the population with visual disabilities that does not have the possibility of accessing this exercise of inclusion, and beyond the common interest in popularizing these video games, the limitation of certain sectors is seen that do not find in this undertaking a great industry, since the majority assures that it is more lucrative to invest in video games for people without no limitation or disability than investing in this other type of video game
In conclusion, the disabled population in Colombia is 3,134,037; this number is very high if we also consider the rural populations that live without any type of resource or technological reach; Due to their socio-economic condition and location, they are people who have a deterioration in services, then what is the extent of the disabled population in these areas that do not have the support and resources to improve their quality of life? It is almost null, there is no possibility that in the most vulnerable places and far from the reach of the government, inclusion exercises will be carried out with the visually disabled population, because simply in the last population census that was carried out in Colombia in 2018, more than 50% of the population They do not access the Internet, this added to governments that waste state money, it could be said that the level exceeds that percentage. If so, it is very possible that the reach of this population to these technological resources is very bad. A lot of economic investment is required on the part of the state, and for the designers of these technologies to expand to cover their creative enterprises, to the entire population, without the right to exclusion. For this reason, in this project a disparity is evident, which is precisely the little accessibility that people with visual disabilities have to video games in Colombia, not only from entertainment, but from their spaces in the classroom, which is what many demands. academics for their models and resources to work with this population, because beyond the interaction that exists with some (very few), much more access is still required and above all more investment and enactment of laws that support said resource.En los últimos años se ha hecho evidente el cambio en el diseño de los videojuegos; uno de ellos es la accesibilidad para personas con distintas discapacidades; a pesar de las leyes, que son muy limitadas, no existen normas que exija, a las empresas, industrias y productoras de distintos sectores implementar en sus proyectos este recurso.
El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar la necesidad de que los videojuegos cumplan con criterios de inclusión y proporcionen estímulos adecuados para la población discapacitada visual. Además, se busca examinar el nivel de apoyo que el país brinda a esta problemática social. A partir de la metodología de investigación mixta se indagó en diferentes fuentes con el fin de demostrar cuán necesario es que existan modelos de inclusión en los videojuegos, tanto de entretenimiento como de educación (serios); así se llegó a un modelo de identidad que evidencia la falta de leyes y recursos que promueven esta industria.
El proyecto permite describir las principales estrategias y recursos que se han planteado y/o implementado en cuanto a accesibilidad para personas con discapacidad visual en Colombia, indagando y comparando la información obtenida desde el estado del arte, y de esta forma concluir con el impacto de estos métodos de desarrollo en la población con discapacidad visual. Un impacto importante ha sido la evolución tecnológica que otros países han desarrollado para este tipo de población.
Como conclusión, en el desarrollo de este proyecto se encontró una disparidad: la poca accesibilidad que tienen las personas con discapacidad visual a los videojuegos en Colombia, pues más allá de la interacción que existe con algunos, se requiere de mucho más acceso. Y sobre todo más inversión y promulgación de leyes que apoyen dicho recurso
Pedagogía jurídica y métodos de enseñanza de los derechos humanos y el derecho internacional humanitario a través del estudio de casos: Legal Pedagogy and Methods of Teaching Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law through Case Studies
Get PDFThe advantages and disadvantages of teaching and learning law is permeated by various internaland external components of both the student and the teacher. Regarding the transmission and creation of legal knowledge, the line that determines what is “the best way to teach orlearn law” has not been settled, much less, if it is about defining the appropriate method to teach human rights and international humanitarian law, since, the latter field is not only about transmitting theoretical-legal contents to students, but also about cultivating their sensitivity and humanization, because it is useless to understand concepts such as human dignity if their emotional and affective sphere is unknown. This component can be approached via case studiesas a sensitizing tool.Las ventajas y desventajas del método de enseñanza y aprendizaje del derecho, se ve permeado por diversos componentes internos y externos tanto del estudiante como del docente. En lo que a la transmisión y creación del conocimiento jurídico concierne, no ha sido pacifica la línea que determina cuál es “la mejor manera de enseñar o aprender derecho”, mucho menos, si se trata de definir el método adecuado para enseñar derechos humanos y derecho internacional humanitario, pues en este último campo, no solo se trata de trasmitir contenidos teórico-jurídicos a los estudiantes, sino también de cultivar su sensibilidad y humanización, pues de nada sirve comprender conceptos como la dignidad humana si se desconoce su esfera emocional y afectiva; componente que puede ser abordado a través del estudio de caso como herramienta sensibilizadora
Satisfacción con el peso corporal y estado nutricional en adolescentes residentes del noreste de México
No full textObjective: To evaluate the perception of body weight in adolescents and identify predictors of nutritional status.
Method: Descriptive, correlational design. The population was made up of students from a randomly selected public educational institution located in Northwest Mexico. The sample was from 851 teenagers who attended between the 7th and 9th grade of basic education enrolled in the selected educational institution. Satisfaction with body weight was evaluated using the Stunkard and Sørensen figures. Anthropometric measurements (weight and height) were carried out and BMI was calculated.
Results: 18.8 % and 19.1 % of the participants reported being overweight and obese respectively, 21.6 % belonged to the male sex. In relation to the perception of body weight, 67.5 % reported body dissatisfaction, 45.2 % wished to be slimmer, with a predominance of the female sex. Age (? = .29, p = .020), sex (? = -.642, p = .005) and body weight perception (? = -2.62, p = .001) influence the BMI of the adolescents in the study.
Conclusions: Age, sex and body weight perception are predictors of nutritional status in the adolescents in the study. Objetivo: Evaluar la percepción del peso corporal en adolescentes e identificar predictores del estado nutricional.
Método: Diseño descriptivo, correlacional. La población estuvo conformada por estudiantes de una institución educativa pública seleccionada de forma aleatoria, ubicada en el noreste de México. La muestra fue de 851 adolescentes que cursaban entre el 7º y 9º grado de educación básica inscritos en la institución educativa seleccionada. Se evalúo la satisfacción con el peso corporal mediante las figuras de Stunkard y Sørensen. Se realizaron mediciones antropométricas (peso y talla) y se calculó el IMC.
Resultados: El 18.8 % (n= 160) y 19.1% (n= 163) de los participantes presentaron sobrepeso y obesidad, respectivamente; el 21.6 % (n= 185) pertenecen al sexo masculino y 16.3 % (n= 138) al femenino. Por otro lado, el 67.5 % (n= 574) de los participantes reportó insatisfacción corporal, es decir el 45.2 % (n= 384) desea estar más delegado(a), lo cual es más frecuente en participantes del sexo femenino. La insatisfacción con el peso corporal (?= -2.62, p= .001), edad (?= .29, p= .020) y sexo (?= -.642, p= .005) influyen en el IMC de los adolescentes
Conclusiones: La edad, sexo y la percepción del peso corporal son predictores del índice de masa corporal en los adolescentes del estudio.
