Understanding internal migration in Britain at the start of the 21st century
No full textAlong with changes in fertility, mortality and international migration, internal migration acts
to affect population change in almost all areas of Britain. As well as changing the numbers of people in localities it will alter the structure and composition of populations, impacting upon the planning and allocation of resources to local communities. In order to plan effectively,
knowledge of the flows of people within the country is essential, but with almost ten percent of the population of Britain changing their permanent place of residence every year, a complex system of flows between a multitude of origins and destinations is presented.
There is a long history of studying internal migration in Britain; a history which owes much to the system of flows continually evolving. Monitoring this system can be problematic as unlike births and deaths, there is no compulsory mechanism to record the movements of people
within the country. Data are accessed from different sources, each with their own idiosyncrasies which pose challenges for those wishing to build a complete understanding of the flows taking place.
This thesis tackles the problem of building an understanding of internal migration in Britain where data are limited and patterns and processes complex. New methods for estimating incomplete data are presented, along with new techniques for analysing available datasets. Central to the understanding of internal migration patterns is the association of types of migrant with origin and destination areas; therefore one of the central contributions of this piece of work is the development of a new internal migration-based geodemographic area classification
framework, designed to both assist in the analysis of internal migration data from the census used to build it and to offer a parsimonious system for the analysis of temporally rich but attribute poor non-census datasets
Transformación organizacional en el Hospital Universitario Nacional de Colombia (HUN). Una propuesta de innovación
No full textLa presente investigación de maestría corresponde a los resultados de la investigación realizada en torno a la Transformación organizacional en un hospital universitario, en el primer semestre de 2019. El objetivo general consistió en proponer estrategias de transformación del sistema organizacional del Hospital Universitario Nacional en función del mejoramiento de sus acciones, a partir de las prácticas de los actores involucrados en la implementación de la política actual. Este fue un estudio de tipo cualitativo interpretativo que desde lo teórico se aproxima a partir de la revisión bibliográfica de la investigación e innovación hospitalaria, desde lo metodológico aplica el mapeo colectivo, la etnografía en la práctica y el sistema socio-técnico ,y finalmente , a través de la investigación participante consolida una serie de estrategias de transformación enfocadas al contexto.
La etapa diagnóstica presenta los resultados del trabajo de campo, el abordaje de las prácticas, la investigación desde el enfoque participante, concluyendo con el diseño y análisis de un taller piloto para fomentar la transformación organizacional.
Las estrategias finales son construidas a partir de la evidencia recogida teóricamente y, mediante la participación en un proceso transversal de la institución, dan cuenta de los elementos considerados de suma importancia, la integración interna y con otras disciplinas, la participación y el trabajo en equipo.
Se pretende que la institución tenga en cuenta la perspectiva presentada, consecuente con los retos actuales del entorno hospitalario, la complejidad de las instituciones y la integración de diversos abordajes teórico-prácticos.This master's thesis corresponds to the results of the research carried out around the Organizational Transformation in a University Hospital, during the first half of 2019. The general objective was to propose transformation strategies of the organizational system of the National University Hospital seeking to improve its actions, based on the practices of the actors involved in the implementation of the current policy. This was a qualitative interpretive study that, from a theoretical approach based on the review of hospital research and innovation, from the methodological applied to collective mapping, ethnography in practice and the socio-technical system, and finally to Through participant research, it consolidates a series of transformation strategies focused on the context.
The diagnostic stage presents the results of the field work, the approach to the practices and the research from the participant approach that concludes with the design and analysis of a pilot workshop to promote the organizational transformation.
The final strategies are constructed from the evidence collected theoretically and through participation in a transversal process of the institution, the account of the most important elements affected, internal integration and with other disciplines, participation and teamwork.
It is intended that the institution takes into account the perspective presented, built around the current challenges of the hospital environment, the complexity of the institutions and the integration of various theoretical and practical approaches.Magíster en Ingeniería Industrial.
