Validacion de la Escala de Reacciones ante Experiencias de Trato Desigual en Salud
Introduction: This study aimed to estimate the psychometric properties of the Scale of Reactions to Experiences of Unequal Treatment in Health from BaezaRivera (2015) and to determine any statistically significant differences between those using the private and public healthcare systems and those belonging to the Mapuche ethnic group Materials and Methods The Scale of Reactions to Experiences of Unequal Treatment in Health was used in 337 participants (mostly women) with a mean age of 31 years Of these 57% reportedly used the public healthcare system and 32% belonged to the Mapuche ethnic group Subsequently exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis using Cronbach’s alpha and factorial analysis of variance were conducted Results The findings demonstrated that this scale has ideal psychometric properties such as reliability and factorial validity and it can be used in a population with characteristics similar to those of the sample population used in this study Additionally statistically significant differences were observed between those using the healthcare systems and those belonging to the Mapuche ethnic group Conclusions This scale shows adequate psychometric properties such as the two related factors reliability and factorial validity and can be used in healthrelated contexts thus allowing for an understanding of health–disease processes
Oliver Sacks, maestro y divulgador de la Neurología : reflexión
As is true about many sciences, knowledge in medicine used to be kept under the utmost secrecy, private only to those few persons that devoted their lives to healing. Today, however, in the era of information, everybody knows and, more importantly, everybody wants to know about medicine. It is then when the existence of scientists willing and able to divulge technical knowledge for all people becomes crucial. For this purpose there was none other like Oliver Sacks. With his unique tell-tale writing style and his contagious smile, he was a beacon for patients and people stumbling in the dark, looking for answers, and an example for everyone in the field of neuroscience. © 2017, Universidad de Antioquia.

Alcances y límites del principio de la responsabilidad de proteger: actuación del consejo de seguridad frente al conflicto en libia en el 2011 y Siria durante el periodo 2011-2014.
The purpose of this case of study is to determine the scope and limits of the Responsibility to Protect, as exemplified by the actions of the Security Council of the United Nations in the conflict in Libya and Syria. This requires analyzing primary and secondary sources such as official documents and academic articles, in order to ensure that the evolution of the concept of sovereignty has allowed to legitimize interventions for humanitarian purposes, and that all States have the primary responsibility to ensure the protection human rights of its citizens, otherwise, the international community must take steps to prevent or stop the massive crimes.

Indicadores de gestión en los programas académicos de campo (pac) del programa de fisioterapia de la universidad del rosario para el periodo 2004-2007
Introduction: The Physical Therapy program at Universidad del Rosario has Field Academic Programs (FAP) which are basically aimed at training professionals. FAPs contribute to the acquisition of skills for the development of acting-doing-creating processes in students in order to solve problems in a real practice setting. The purpose of this work is to describe the process indicators to provide useful information for the continuous updating of the courses' program contents. Methods and materials: An analysis of demand indicators by gender, health social security affiliation, procedure and morbidity of Integral Pediatric, Integral Adult, and Cardiac/Pulmonary Rehabilitation Field Academic Programs, is presented with the purpose of establishing the characteristics of the service target population and providing verifiable information. Results: The results obtained in the analysis of morbidity data in the field's academic programs show the following behavior during the years 2004 to 2007: In the pediatric FAP, the highest incidence was asthma (37.2%) and the lowest was congenital hip dislocation and mental disease of central origin. 58% of users were male and 81% of users belonged to the contributory social security regime. In adults FAP morbidity, the highest incidence was of COPD (23.2%), and the lowest incidence corresponded to lower back pain (2.4%). Most treated users were male (58%), and 58% of users belonged to the contributory social security regime. In the cardiac/pulmonary rehabilitation FAP, the highest incidence was of COPD (40%), followed by pneumonia with 17% and with a lower incidence to asthma with 2%. 54% of users were male, and 91% of users beloned to the subsidized social security regime. Conclusion: The assessment was able to establish the behavior of the proposed indicators, which will support the continuous change plan for the classes and the orientation of the field programs.
Bias-corrected high-resolution precipitation datasets assessment over a tropical mountainous region in Colombia
Surface gauge measurements have been ommonly employed to analyze the precipitation’s high spatial and temporal variability. However, incomplete area coverage and deficiencies over most tropical and complex topography mean significant limitations of this measurement type. Satellite-derived datasets, combined with the integration of in-situ observations with satellite data, are an alternative to address these limitations by offering a more spatially homogeneous and temporally comprehensive coverage for scarce data areas of the globe. Nevertheless, applying a bias correction technique on the precipitation datasets is still necessary before they are used for research due to their considerable bias. Here, we analyze the performance of CHIRPS, WorldClim, and TerraClimate datasets compared to data from 30 rain gauge stations over the South-West of Colombia, specifically in the Upper Cauca River Basin-UCRB between 1981 and 2018. Additionally, we applied the Quantile Mapping correction to all gridded precipitation products, and subsequently, the corrected rainfall is compared to the observed data on the monthly, seasonal, and annual scale. Our results show that the CHIRPS dataset better captures the seasonal and monthly variability. CHIRPS presents the best performance during less rainy seasons and at low elevation zones (900–2000 m above sea level-m.a.s.l.), followed by TerraClimate. Utilizing the bias correction methodology, we generated a new, corrected, and more reliable monthly precipitation time series for each location from all gridded precipitation products. Additionally, we found that the correction of the CHIRPS dataset presented the best performance across all spatiotemporal scales in the UCRB. Therefore, this study provides an accurate precipitation database for a complex topographic tropical region with limited data availability.

Punto de Encuentro, un espacio en la radio con historias de colombianos en el exterior
This work is a socio-cultural radio magazine that aims to show the friendly face of Colombia abroad 'cast pa' lante 'worker, funny, daring, intelligent, friendly, among other ways of being, apart from the constant negative information presented in the media on the issue of Colombian immigrants. It outlines the different nuances that exist in terms of the scenarios presented in wanting to leave the country and settle in some cases abroad.
