Understanding “scaleup” location choices in European cities: an empirical analysis
No full textEste estudio investiga los factores que influyen en la elección de la ubicación de las scaleups en las ciudades europeas utilizando un conjunto de datos diverso y técnicas estadísticas como PLS-SEM. Según la literatura, una scaleup es una nueva empresa, de hasta 10 años de antigüedad, que ha alcanzado un ritmo de crecimiento estable y constante. Los resultados ponen de relieve la existencia de relaciones significativas entre la elección de la ubicación de las scaleups y factores como el clima de la ciudad, el entorno laboral, el desarrollo tecnológico y el nivel educativo. Un modelo secuencial muestra el efecto directo y positivo de la educación en la elección de la localización de las scaleups, al tiempo que revela relaciones entre el clima de la ciudad, el entorno laboral y la tecnología. La investigación ofrece valiosas ideas a los responsables políticos y a los empresarios que buscan mejorar el atractivo de las ciudades para este tipo de empresas. El fomento de un ecosistema empresarial propicio, la promoción del desarrollo tecnológico y la mejora del entorno laboral se perfilan como estrategias clave para atraer y retener a las empresas scaleup en las ciudades europeas. Este estudio contribuye a la literatura sobre emprendimiento urbano y desarrollo regional explorando el impacto de nuevas variables y examinando el papel del ecosistema empresarial.This study investigates the factors influencing scaleup location choices in European cities using a diverse dataset and statistical techniques such as PLS-SEM. According to the literature, a scaleup is a new entrepreneurial company, up to 10 years old, that has achieved a stable and consistent growth rate. The results highlight the significant relationships between scaleup location choices and factors like city climate, working environment, technological development, and educational level. A sequential model shows the direct and positive effect of education on scaleup location choices, while also revealing relationships between city climate, working environment and technology. The research offers valuable insights for policymakers and entrepreneurs seeking to enhance cities’ attractiveness for scaleup businesses. Fostering a supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem, promoting technological development, and improving the working environment emerge as key strategies for attracting and retaining scaleup companies in European cities. This study contributes to the literature on urban entrepreneurship and regional development by exploring the impact of novel variables and examining the role of the entrepreneurial ecosystem
Dental health, sports, and quality of life: the impact of periodontal disease on athletic performance
No full textDysbiotic dental biofilm may increase the risk of periodontal damage and increase proinflammatory mediators such as IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, C-reactive protein, and TNF-α. Some of these biomarkers are linked to muscle fatigue, the risk of sports injuries, and persistent inflammation in high-intensity exercisers. Studies show that athletes with signs and symptoms of periodontal disease are more likely to suffer recurrent muscle injuries. Inflammatory mediators shared by PD and high-intensity exercise may be linked to an increased risk of fatigue, repeated muscle injuries, and a potential worsening of both PD and muscle function, which subsequently causes plasma creatine kinase (CK) leakage. Studies show that, in the presence of PD, salivary CK concentrations were increased in periodontitis. Other studies show that saliva can be used to detect muscle damage. Therefore, the objective of this work is to investigate the relationship between periodontal disease and sports performance, measurable by salivary biomarkers such as creatine kinase (CK). The increase in the concentration levels of CK present in saliva in periodontal patient

Humanized Childbirth: Challenges, Maternal Health Benefits And Comprehensive Intervention Strategies
No full textIntroduction: Obstetric and gynecological violence continues to be a serious problem in developing countries, where women's reproductive rights are violated; therefore, it was proposed to analyze how humanized childbirth is provided in obstetric services to ensure maternal and neonatal health, as well as the strategies implemented in the care of the couple. Methods: A literature review study of original studies in Spanish, English and Portuguese was arried out, with a sample of 30 articles selected from indexed databases such as SCOPUS, SCIELO, CINALH, PUBMED and REDALYC. These sources were organized in an Excel matrix for analysis using the CASPe critical reading rubric to verify the rigor and scientific quality according to the selection criteria. Results: Humanized childbirth fosters the mother-baby bond, direct skin-to-skin contact, early initiation of breastfeeding and the participation of the woman, which improves the physical and emotional health of both, reduces postpartum complications and strengthens emotional bonds. In addition, it respects cultural beliefs and fosters an environment of family support, which makes it possible to face challenges such as resistance to change, infrastructure limitations and work overload. Conclusion: This approach promotes a safe, quality and family-centered environment, integrating strategies that promote the wellbeing of the trinomial, where emotional support and the reduction of unnecessary medical interventions favor natural childbirth, direct skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding and family involvement, thus reducing the risk of complications in the puerperium
Del conflicto a la acción social: transformación del framing periodístico sobre el cambio climático
No full textIntroduction:This article examines the evolution of media framing of climate change in the post-pandemic period, using the coverage of 3United Nations Conferences of the Parties (COP) as a case study.Methodology:Based on an updated framework of established typologies, the study analyzes 3key components of journalistic framing: (1) the generic presentation of the issue (issue frame); (2) the predominant informational frames (news frame); and (3) the strategic use of keywords in headlines. The sample consists of 671 articles published by 6Spanish media outlets, selected to represent different professional models and contrasting editorial lines. Results:First, there is a shift toward thematic framing, suggesting an openness to more contextual narratives. Second, the most recurrent journalistic frames revolve around political conflict, human interest, and the economic impact of the green transition. Lastly, headlines reveal the consolidation of the classical term “climate change” over more contemporary labels, along with a gradual democratization of the discourse, integrating the economic dimension and new informational actors. Discussion:The findings point to renewed framings oriented toward action, accountability, and social responses, although still influenced by traditional media practices. Conclusions:The article identifies an evolution in the journalistic treatment of climate change in the post-COVID context and offers recommendations to encourage a solutions-focused media coverage.Introducción: Este artículo analiza la evolución de los encuadres mediáticos sobre el cambio climático durante la etapa pospandémica, tomando como caso de estudio la cobertura de 3 Conferencias de las Partes (COP) de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU). Metodología: A partir de una metodología basada en la actualización de tipologías consolidadas, se revisan 3 componentes clave en el estudio del framing periodístico: 1) la presentación genérica del problema (issue frame); 2) los encuadres informativos predominantes (news frame); y 3) el uso estratégico de palabras clave en los titulares. La muestra la componen 671 piezas publicadas por 6 medios españoles representativos de diferentes modelos profesionales y líneas editoriales contrastadas. Resultados: En primer lugar, se observa un avance del encuadre temático que indica una apertura hacia narrativas más contextuales. En segundo lugar, los encuadres periodísticos más recurrentes giran en torno al conflicto político, el interés humano y el impacto económico de la transición verde. Finalmente, los titulares revelan la consolidación de la denominación clásica “cambio climático” por encima de etiquetas contemporáneas, junto con una progresiva democratización del discurso, que integra la dimensión económica y nuevos protagonismos informativos. Discusión: Los hallazgos identifican encuadres renovados orientados a la acción, la rendición de cuentas y respuestas sociales, aunque todavía condicionados por inercias tradicionales. Conclusiones:El artículo identifica una evolución en el tratamiento periodístico del cambio climático en el contexto pos-COVID y plantea recomendaciones para fomentar una cobertura centrada en sus soluciones

Fatores explicativos à tempestividade das informações contábeis em municípios de Minas Gerais
No full textThe objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between explanatory factors and the timeliness of accounting information in municipalities in Minas Gerais. As a methodological procedure, a multinomial logit model for panel data was employed, comprising 853 municipalities in the state of Minas Gerais from 2015 to 2019. The results indicate that the variables that most influence timeliness are the use of digital technologies in management activities, expenditure on socioeconomic development, net current revenue, tax effort, investment volume, and personnel expenditure. Furthermore, the study found an increase in the number of timely municipalities over the period analyzed. This research contributes to public management by identifying variables that lead to greater timeliness in municipalities and that should be emphasized by public administrators in order to achieve more timely accounting information.O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a relação de fatores explicativos com a tempestividade da informação contábil em municípios mineiros. Como procedimento metodológico, foi utilizado o modelo logit multinomial para dados em painel, composto pelos 853 municípios mineiros durante o período de 2015 a 2019. Os resultados indicam que as variáveis que mais influenciam a tempestividade são o uso de tecnologias digitais nas atividades de gestão, o gasto com o desenvolvimento socioeconômico, a receita corrente líquida, o esforço tributário, o volume de investimentos e o gasto com pessoal. Além disso, foi verificado que houve um aumento no número de municípios tempestivos dentro do período em estudo. A pesquisa contribui para a gestão pública devido à identificação de variáveis que acarretam em uma maior tempestividade dos municípios e que devem ser seladas pela gestão pública a fim de atingir uma contabilidade mais tempestiva
Precariedad de la condición humana en el contexto de la violencia en Colombia: un dejar morir a la juventud
No full textObjective: To deduce and critically examine the moral framework that enables the justification and exercise of violence in Colombia, following the hermeneutic analysis of the network of notions that sustain it: the logic of means and ends, the emphasis on individualism, biopower, state racism, recognition, and disdain. Two questions are addressed: the one posed in the epigraph and its formulation within the Colombian context. Methodology: The study employed the epistemological approaches and methodological resources of Ricoeur’s hermeneutic phenomenology and Honneth’s critical hermeneutic analysis, which are complementary and mutually supportive. Results: The answers unfold the idea proposed in the title: the climate of violence experienced by Colombian society —one in which broad sectors of youth participate— creates precarious conditions for the conduct of life, as it intensifies relations of contempt experienced as moral offense. Conclusions: Ricoeur’s hermeneutics and critical theory constitute appropriate mechanisms for revising the anthropological conception and the ethics of violence that underlie the theoretical frameworks allowing its justification, frameworks that have led a portion of the impoverished youth population into exclusion and into the disdain of society and of themselves. Furthermore, these theories offer guidelines for the transformation of thought and action.Objetivo: deduzir e submeter à crítica o esquema moral que permite justificar e exercer a violência na Colômbia, seguindo a análise hermenêutica da rede de noções que o sustentam: a lógica de meios e fins, a ênfase no individualismo, o biopoder, o racismo estatal, o reconhecimento e o menosprezo. Respondem-se duas perguntas: a do epígrafe e sua formulação no contexto colombiano. Metodologia: utilizaram-se as abordagens epistemológicas e os recursos metodológicos próprios da fenomenologia hermenêutica de Ricoeur e da análise crítica hermenêutica de Honneth, complementares e solidárias entre si. Resultados: as respostas desenvolvem a ideia apresentada no título: o ambiente de violência vivido pela sociedade colombiana, no qual participam amplos setores da juventude, gera condições de precariedade no desempenho da vida, pois intensifica relações de desprezo vividas em termos de agravo moral. Conclusões: a hermenêutica de Ricoeur e a teoria crítica constituem mecanismos adequados para a revisão da concepção antropológica e da ética da violência que sustentam os marcos teóricos que permitem sua justificação e que mantêm um setor da juventude pobre mergulhado na exclusão e no desprezo da sociedade e de si mesmos. Além disso, essas teorias oferecem diretrizes para a transformação do pensamento e da ação.Objetivo: deducir y someter a crítica el esquema moral que permite justificar y ejercer la violencia en Colombia, siguiendo el análisis hermenéutico de la red de nociones que lo sostienen: la lógica de medios y fines, el énfasis en el individualismo, biopoder, racismo estatal, reconocimiento y menosprecio. Se da respuesta a dos preguntas: al interrogante del epígrafe, y a su formulación en el contexto colombiano. Metodología:se hizo uso de los enfoques epistemológicos y recursos metodológicos propios de la fenomenología hermenéutica de Ricoeur y del análisis crítico hermenéutico de Honneth, complementarios y solidarios entre sí. Resultados: las respuestas despliegan la idea planteada en el título: el ambiente de violencia que vive la sociedad colombiana y en el que participan amplios sectores de la juventud genera condiciones de precariedad en el desempeño de la vida porque intensifica relaciones de desprecio vivenciadas en términos de agravio moral. Conclusiones: la hermenéutica de Ricoeur y la teoría crítica constituyen mecanismos apropiados para la revisión de la concepción antropológica y la ética de la violencia, que subyacen a los marcos teóricos que permiten su justificación y tienen sumergido a un sector de la población juvenil pobre a la exclusión, y al desprecio de la sociedad y de sí mismos. Además, estas teorías ofrecen pautas para la transformación del pensamiento y la acción
