Abstract:

Health differences across socioeconomic strata have always pointed out that poorer and minorities have higher mortality and morbidity than richer and majorities. This difference is exacerbated for particular populations such as the victims of ongoing armed conflict, who are also much harder to quantify due to the conflict itself. This study uses complex network analysis applied to a combination of three large administrative records for the health system and mortality records in the province of Risaralda (Colombia) between 2011 and 2016. We estimate the most common causes of morbi-mortality for both victims of violence and the poorest inhabitants of Risaralda, defined as those who qualify as recipients of subsidies from the Colombian welfare program, called SISBEN, in the categories of those with the highest need, levels I and II. Both populations show high morbidity frequencies for non-communicable diseases such as Type II diabetes, hypertension and hyperglyceridaemia, mostly associated with exposure to unhealthy lifestyles. However, these mortality outcomes reflect the different treatments and lifestyles of both subpopulations. While the poorest replicate the same causes identified for morbidity, the victims of armed conflict die of additional causes including Type I diabetes, which reflects the even worse conditions they face.

Abstract:

Objective To describe the main epidemiological features of snakebites in Colombia during the period 2008 to 2016.Methods A retrospective (quantitative) descriptive analytical empirical study was carried out, based on the official databases of the Public Health Surveillance in the Integral Information System of the Social Protection (SISPRO) and the Surveillance System in Public Health (Sivigila) of the reported cases of snakebites in Colombia for that period.Results In total, 37 066 cases were reported, with annual incidences ranging from 7.0 (2008) to 9.7 (2011 and 2012) cases per 100,000 population. Mortality rates ranged from 0.059 (2013) to 0.091 (2011) deaths per 100 000 population, with case fatality rates ranging from 0.6% (2013) to 1.0% (2010). Indigenous and Afro-Colombian populations were highly affected, and highest incidences occurred in males, and in people living in rural areas. The average age of affected people is 31.7 years (95% CI 28.3 34.5). The regions with higher incidence are Amazonia and Orinoquia. Species of the genus Bothrops are responsible for the highest number of bites (64.5%), owing to their wide distribution in Colombia. Regarding clinical manifestations, pain and edema were observed in 86.9% and 78.8% of patients, respectively. Cellulitis and abscesses were the most frequent local complications of these envenomings.Conclusions Results underscore the relevance of snakebite envenoming in Colombia, and provide information for improving the public health attention to these envenoming.

Objetivos establecer y cuantificar el efecto del conflicto armado interno en Colombia en la salud infantil, particularmente en el peso al nacer.Métodos este documento explota las diferencias en el tiempo de la intensidad del conflicto armado interno en Colombia, medido por las tasas de homicidios municipales, sobre la salud infantil, cuantificado como mortalidad infantil y peso al nacer. Mediante el uso de datos individuales de las encuestas nacionales de demografía y salud de Colombia de 1995 y 2000, combinados con datos anuales de nivel municipal sobre violencia y desempeño económico, se confrontan los resultados entre dos hermanos biológicos, uno nacido en una era violenta y otro en un momento pacífico utilizando una regresión logística de control materno.Resultados La violencia política afecta negativamente la salud infantil, lo que se pudo cuantificar durante el pico de violencia que experimentó Colombia en los años 90, con peores resultados para los bebés varones que en sus contrapartes. El control de los efectos fijos maternos muestra una probabilidad significativa tres veces mayor de nacer con bajo peso al nacer para los bebés nacidos durante el aumento de la violencia, en comparación con sus hermanos nacidos en épocas más pacíficas.Conclusiones Estos resultados hacen visibles la totalidad de los efectos de conflictos armados intensos y duraderos, como es el caso colombiano, en donde no sólo los actores directos involucrados en el mismo se ven afectados, sino que también los recién nacidos muestran peores resultados de salud. Los resultados de este estudio permiten focalizar políticas en la reducción de los efectos en poblaciones en conflicto o durante el período de reconstrucción, en este caso se sugiere la provisión de cuidado materno durante el período gestacional y cuidado especial para recién nacidos en áreas de altos niveles de violencia como una prioridad.

Abstract:

Background: The number of Venezuelan migrants in Colombia has dramatically increased over the past years, which poses great challenges to the Colombian health system. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare some health indicators related to the Sustainable Development Goals between the Venezuelan migrant population and the Colombian population. Methods: A longitudinal, descriptive analysis of the maternal mortality ratio; the neonatal, infant and under-five mortality; the proportionate mortality due to undernourishment; and the rates of alleged sexual felony, intimate partner violence and domestic violence in the Venezuelan migrant population in Colombia and in the Colombian population in the 2015-2019 period was conducted. Maternal and child health and undernourishment indicators were estimated for the 2015-18 period, while the gender-based violence indicators were obtained only for 2018-19, since those were the years with information available for each of these indicators. Data was extracted from official sources, such as the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE), National Institute of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences (INMLCF) and Migración Colombia. The categorical and numerical variables were described through percentages and rates, respectively. Results: Venezuelan migrants in Colombia had higher rates of maternal, neonatal, infant and under-five mortality, as well as proportionate mortality due to undernourishment, than the Colombian population throughout the study years, although the difference between them decreased at the end of the period. As for the gender-based violence indicators, the Colombian population showed higher rates than the Venezuelan migrants, and both Colombian and Venezuelan female victims showed higher rates in these violence indicators than their male counterparts of the same nationality. Conclusions: Some apparent inequalities still persist despite the efforts of the Colombian government to attend to the health needs of the Venezuelan migrant population. Colombia must keep and strengthen migratory inclusion in its public policies to impact on migrants’ health.

Abstract:

BackgroundHealth inequalities, including inequalities in oral health, are problems of social injustice worldwide. Evidence on this issue from low-income and middle-income countries is still needed. We aimed to examine the relationship between oral health and different dimensions of socioeconomic position (SEP) in Colombia, a very unequal society emerging from a long-lasting internal armed conflict.MethodsUsing data from the last Colombian Oral Health Survey (2014), we analysed inequalities in severe untreated caries (≥3 teeth), edentulousness (total tooth loss) and number of missing teeth. Inequalities by education, income, area-level SEP and health insurance scheme were estimated by the relative index of inequality and slope index of inequality (RII and SII, respectively).ResultsA general pattern of social gradients was observed and significant inequalities for all outcomes and SEP indicators were identified with RII and SII. Relative inequalities were larger for decay by health insurance scheme, with worse decay levels among the uninsured (RII: 2.57; 95% CI 2.11 to 3.13), and in edentulousness (RII: 3.23; 95% CI 1.88 to 5.55) and number of missing teeth (RII: 2.08; 95% CI 1.86 to 2.33) by education, with worse levels of these outcomes among the lower educated groups. Absolute inequalities followed the same pattern. Inequalities were larger in urban areas.ConclusionHealth insurance and education appear to be the main contributors to oral health inequalities in Colombia, posing challenges for designing public health strategies and social policies. Tackling health inequalities is crucial for a fairer society in a Colombian post-conflict era and our findings highlight the importance of investing in education policies and universal health care coverage.

Abstract:

Despite extensive public health efforts, dengue is still a major health concern in Colombia. The objective of this study was to provide an ecosystem and cross-disciplinary perspective on the dengue situation in two Colombian towns. The article focuses on presenting the anthropological methodology and research findings. An interdisciplinary team gathered quantitative (cross-sectional), meteorological, entomological, and qualitative data (based on medical anthropology) through fieldwork and archival research. According to the qualitative data, dengue can be described as a point of convergence between public health policies, the affected population, the environment, and the social dynamics generated through this interaction. Dengue is illustrative as a disease, in that it has a negative impact on public health, but individuals in Colombia have learned to live and cope with it. Dengue prevalence and its on-going historical presence have made it part of everyday community life, viewed as a minor health issue.

Abstract:

Abstract Armed conflict has positioned Colombia as the country with the second highest internal displacement of citizens. This situation has forced government projects and international cooperation agencies to intervene to mitigate the impact of violence; however, the coping strategies implemented by the country’s minorities are still unknown. The study objective is to describe the coping strategies and their relation with mental health within Afro-descendant culture in Colombia and the effects that armed conflict has on these coping mechanisms, through a phenomenological study involving focus groups and interviews with experts. Rituals and orality have a healing function that allow Afro-Colombian communities to express their pain and support each other, enabling them to cope with loss. Since the forced displacement, these traditions have been in jeopardy. Armed conflict prevents groups from mourning, generating a form of latent pain. Afro-Colombians require community interventions that create similar spaces for emotional support for the bereaved persons in the pre-conflict period. Thus, it is essential to understand the impact of this spiritual and ritualistic approach on mental health issues and the relevance of narrative and community interventions for survivors.

Abstract:

Through the Colombian Institute for Family Welfare (ICBF), the Colombian government aims to provide comprehensive reintegration for children demobilized from the country’s various armed groups. The reestablishment of rights, including the right to health (guaranteed by the Colombian constitution), is a key factor in successful reintegration. This thesis explores the topic of access to health care and health seeking behavior among former child soldiers in Manizales, Colombia who are over the age of 18 and were previously in the Hogar Tutor program (foster care-based youth reintegration) in Manizales. This thesis utilizes semi-structured interviews (n=9) and body mapping (n=9) with former child soldiers, key-informant interviews, participant observation, and a review of archival and secondary sources, including survey data, which is used to complement this research. This research is focused on understanding the barriers participants are experiencing in accessing health care, how participants understand and experience health and the health care system, and how health is handled within reintegration programs. Findings illustrate the incompatibility of transitional justice and the right to health within a neoliberal health system. This research suggests that former child soldiers face significant barriers in access to health care, experience persistent health conditions related to the conflict, and may be insufficiently aware of their rights as both citizens and victims of the armed conflict. These challenges likely affect the ability of former child soldiers to successfully reintegrate. This thesis provides recommendations for future research, as well as for the implementation of- and changes to- health education efforts within the ICBF and the Colombia Agency for Reintegration (ACR).

Abstract:

Colombia is a developing country with high mortality rates from trauma. The Valle de Aburra region centred around the city of Medellin has particularly high rates of intentional trauma. Improving emergency medical services could reduce mortality rates.
At the time of this investigation, there was no pre-hospital emergency care services in the Valle de Aburra. Thus, this thesis examines predictors of mortality from a case series of 1395 persons presenting to the Emergency department of the Hospital Universitario San Vicente de Paul (HUSVP). Overall mortality for this series was 9.31% and 37.5% of these deaths were retrospectively identified as preventable. Mortality for injuries involving the central nervous system (CNS) was higher at 14.4%. Using the TRISS method, higher than expected death rates were noted from pedestrian-motor vehicle incidents and trauma associated with firearms use.
Determinants of mortality and length of stay were identified using logistic regression. These included factors associated with the mechanism and site of injury and also with the process of care, both pre-hospital and in-hospital.
Based on these identified determinants, policies for integrated pre-hospital and hospital emergency care in the Valle de Aburra can be developed. Regionalizing these services could be expected to reduce both mortality rates and preventable deaths.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research is to examine the factors that have influenced political decentralization in Paraguay and Colombia and how the new intergovernmental relations that result in political, fiscal and policy decentralization impact local governments and their capacity to deliver public services. The research, building on institutional theory, places particular emphasis on trying to explain and understand how intergovernmental relations shape the decentralization—and effectiveness—of public service delivery to local and regional governments, particularly in the areas of health and education. The research method is principally a path-dependent within-cases analysis. The analysis traces how the processes of decentralization evolved from 1990 to 2010. Special attention is given to critical junctures, or special political or social circumstances, that have significantly changed the process of decentralization. Data was collected mainly through reviews of documents, journals and newspapers, and most significantly through elite interviews “tailored to the purposes of the study” (Aberbach & Rockman, 2002). Leaders of political parties, unions, non-governmental-organizations and civic movements were interviewed in both countries. The research shows that political parties play a very important role, not only in the design and implementation of decentralization of public service delivery, but also in sustaining and furthering the process. The analysis is based on the assumption that increased decentralization of health and education to local and regional levels should positively impact basic health and education indicators. If decentralization, as argued, helps governments to be more responsive to local needs, and if more health and education programs are decentralized to the local and regional level in response to the demands of many communities, it is predicted that health and education indicators would improve, as people would have easier access to these services. Analysis of health and education indicators in the form of infant mortality rates (deaths of children under one year old, live births) and school enrollment show mixed results for both Colombia and Paraguay.

Abstract:

El problema del suministro eficiente y transparente de medicamentos en Colombia es un tema de la Bioética. Seguramente el problema es más grave en otros países del mundo, parece que la situación en Venezuela en relación a la escases de medicamentos es insostenible. Sin embargo, en Colombia, por su condición de país de ingresos medios con décadas de crecimiento económico sostenido, que el problema del suministro eficiente y trasparente de medicamentos no sea ampliamente abordado desde la academia parece inconcebible. Pero el problema del suministro eficiente de medicamentos tiene un espectro global, casi todos los países del mundo afrontan grandes retos en sus sistemas de salud, que deberían avivar el debate público. La limitación de recursos, el crecimiento exponencial de los costos sobre las nuevas tecnologías en salud y la creciente demanda de servicios por parte de la población mundial, traen consigo, importantes preguntas sobre justicia distributiva. ¿Qué proporción de recursos públicos se debe destinar a la salud y como establecer su utilización? o ¿Como limitar los estándares de atención a las enfermedades huérfanas?. Estas preguntas requieren un debate para establecer los métodos para la asignación justa de los recursos públicos en la búsqueda de la cobertura universal (Organización Mundial de la Salud, 2010). Para la cobertura universal del sistema de salud se requiere un método de priorización en la utilización de recursos. Uno de los grandes problemas para la eficiencia del sistema, se encuentra en el uso de medicamentos costosos, cuando se cuenta con opciones con mejores precios e igualmente eficaces. Este problema teóricamente puede ser solucionado de manera adecuada a través de la regulación del sistema. Sin embargo, el tema tiene una alta complejidad, además, hay que tener en cuenta dos factores en la regulación: el aumento desbordado en el precio de algunos medicamentos sofisticados y la crisis de la evidencia sobre su efectividad terapéutica (Kantarjian, Fojo, Mathisen, & Zwelling, 2013). El espectro más amplio de nuestra investigación tiene que ver con la bioética y el derecho. Resulta de gran importancia para los abogados en el mundo actual reflexionar sobre los puntos de contacto y separación entre la ética y el derecho, tradicionalmente analizados desde la filosofía del derecho y de manera especial desde la teoría general del derecho. En la bioética, como parte de la ética aplicada, encontramos la necesidad de trasformar los acentos de la ética tradicional desde los fundamentos de la norma hasta los problemas más prácticos de la sociedad contemporánea (Escríbar Wicks, 2004). Para entrar en el estudio de la bioética iniciamos nuestra investigación en las primeras definiciones del término. Para esto, se toman los dos autores que primero utilizaron el neologismo de conformidad con la bibliografía especializada. Ellos son, Hans Fritz y Rensselaer Van Potter. La Macrobioética ha buscado nuevos estados de aplicación en las sociedades contemporáneas. Como parte de la ética aplicada, la bioética pretende adaptarse a los retos prácticos de las nuevas comunidades sociales eminentemente pluri-etnicas y pluri-culturales, con extraños morales y distintas concepciones sobre la buena vida. Por esto, la concepción de la bioética que utilizamos en este escrito es laica, amplia y flexible, alejada de dogmatismo pero basada en el desarrollo de los derechos humanos. La nueva juridicidad que argumentamos tiene importantes puntos de encuentro con la bioética. Ambas están sincronizadas con los documentos legales que realzan los derechos humanos como el elemento indispensable de la organización en sociedad. Aquí se encuentran varios tratados sobre derechos humanos y bioética que resaltan la relación de esta nueva concepción de lo jurídico, menos preocupada por las formas y los derechos patrimoniales y más consciente de los derechos humanos y colectivos. Claramente se evidencia esta situación en la acción de tutela o acción de amparo constitucional. Aquí se ponderan derechos encontrados en casos típicamente bioéticos como lo pueden ser la interrupción voluntaria del embarazo y la eutanasia, pero también en todos los casos en general. La misma naturaleza de la tutela nos dice que se acude a ella precisamente cuando nos encontramos ante un caso de vulneración de los derechos fundamentales donde se requiere una acción sumaria y extraordinaria de protección para evitar un daño irreparable. Sin embargo, esta premisa tiene en el caso colombiano de la tutela en salud profundas particularidades por el número elevado de tutelas, en el año 2015 se interpusieron “151.213 tutelas que invocaron el derecho a la salud”(Defensoría del Pueblo 2016, pág. 145) y por la incidencia de estas sobre la regulación general del sistema de salud. Aunque la tutela se aplica para casos particulares, las deficiencias regulatorias en el caso colombiano han hecho que el juez constitucional se convierta en un determinante de la política pública en salud. Esta situación concibe importantes riesgos que son objeto de este estudio, con profundas consecuencias sobre la equidad del sistema de salud.

Abstract:

Despite the benefits of antiretroviral therapy in treating HIV/AIDS, government responses have varied substantially, from provisions guaranteeing nearly universal access to insufficient provisions providing almost no access. This research seeks to specifically examine primary explanations, such as economic capacity, and emerging explanations, such as the role of electoral accountability and the presence of stigma, and the coordination between the epistemic community and political leadership as potential causes for the variance in the government provision. By controlling for state economic capacity, this research furthers the importance of examining other explanations for state response in light of a public health crisis. While electoral accountability and the role of stigma had marginal impacts, the level of scientific coordination and understanding among the states political leadership had perceptible impacts. This research also tests broader aspects of the political economy such as the role of state capacity and subsequent government crisis response.

Full text

Abstract:

En 1993, la Colombie réforme son système de santé en suivant les orientations données par la Constitution politique adoptée en 1991 et les recommandations du « consensus de Washington ». Le pays entre dans une nouvelle ère politique dans laquelle la question sociale est redéfinie autour du thème de la pauvreté, tandis que la question ethnique acquière une visibilité inédite. Dans ce contexte, des Entités Promotrices de Santé Indigènes (EPSI) sont créées à partir du modèle générique des EPS, ces organismes d’administration de l’affiliation et des budgets de la santé qui jouent un rôle d’intermédiaire entre l’État et le patient. Les EPSI sont étroitement liées au monde autochtone. Elles gèrent l’accès à la santé d’une population dont la plus grande majorité doit être autochtone. Le personnel qui assure leur fonctionnement est recruté dans l’espace social et politique autochtone. Enfin, ce sont les autorités dites « traditionnelles » qui les contrôlent. Pour être des représentantes des communautés, ces autorités donnent aux EPSI une nature juridique publique, ce qui leur confère un caractère spécifique dans un système de santé où la tendance est à la généralisation de la privatisation. Quelles sont alors les conséquences de l’intégration à la gestion des affaires publiques de ces structures de pouvoir autochtones et de leurs agents. Quels sont aussi les effets de domination et/ou les expressions d’autonomie que la pratique concrète de ce multiculturalisme génère ? Analysant les enjeux qui se dessinent au sein du champ de la santé interculturelle, la thèse s’organise autour de trois moments. Il s’agit d’abord de caractériser le paradigme dans lequel sont pensés, depuis l’État, le système de santé et l’interculturalité pour comprendre comment les politiques du multiculturalisme deviennent un outil de domination par l’intégration. Le mode opératoire de cette gouvernementalité néolibérale s’appuie en particulier sur la promotion de l’empowerment, la participation autochtone au système de santé en étant l’une des expressions. On s’intéresse ensuite à la dimension dialectique des politiques du multiculturalisme à partir d’une enquête ethnographique menée sur trois EPSI dans trois départements (Cauca, César, La Guajira). La pratique de ce multiculturalisme conduit à une réinterprétation du sens qui lui est donné, en particulier au travers de la réappropriation de pouvoirs (contrôle territorial, biopouvoir) par laquelle devient possible la construction d’une autonomie de ces espaces autochtones. Mais cette autonomie n’est rendue possible, et cela constitue le troisième moment de la démonstration, que par l’existence préalable d’une dynamique sociale, collective et historiquement fixée qui a permis la formation d’un groupe d’agents capables de produire un discours et une pratique propre. Il s’agit alors d’étudier au travers de récits biographiques la formation sociale de ces possibles contre-publics autochtones en s’intéressant à la construction des habitus des agents et aux économies morales locales et globales qui ont contribué à la consolidation de ces contre-publics
In 1993, Colombia reformed its healthcare system by following the orientations brought out by the political Constitution adopted in 1991 and the prescriptions emanating from the « Washington consensus ». The country enters a new political era in which social issues are redefined around the theme of poverty, whereas ethnic issues acquire a new visibility. In this context, Entities Promoting Indigenous Health (EPIH) are created from the generic model of EPHs, which are public administrative bodies dealing with healthcare affiliations and budgets and play an intermediary role between the State and the patient. The EPIH is closely intertwined with the native world. In fact, these entities manage the access to health care services for a population that must be of great majority native. The personnel and agents that run these entities are recruited in the native social and political realm. Furthermore, what is known as the "traditional" authority fully supervises these entities. To officially represent these native communities, these authorities give to the EPSI a public legal status, which confers them a distinctive character in the health care system more generally undergoing privatization reforms. What are the consequences of bringing in indigenous authorities and agents of these health agencies in the administration of public affairs? What are the effect on power relations and/or expressions of autonomy generated by the concrete application of this multiculturalism? Analyzing the issues that are brought out in the realm of intercultural health, this thesis is structured around three main parts. The first part will define the paradigm in which are thought out, from a state perspective, the interculturality of the health care system to understand how politics of multiculturalism, through integration, become a method of domination. The modus operandi of neo-liberal governance is based on the notion of empowerment, i.e. indigenous participation to the health care system being one of its manifestations. The second part will study the dialectical dimension of multiculturalism politics based on an ethnographic study conducted in three EPIH in three states (Cauca, César, La Guajira). The concrete application of this politics of multiculturalism leads to a re-interpretation of its meaning and an re-appropriation of social power dynamnics (territorial control, biopolitics) through which become possible the construction of autonomous indigenous space. However, the third part will analyze how this autonomy is only made possible by preexisting social, collective, and historical dynamics, which enabled a group of agents to produce a discourse and their own application of public affairs. We will thus study with the help of biographical narratives how it is possible to form counterpublics by looking at the habitus of the agents and at the local and global moral economy that helped shape these counterpublics

Abstract:

Abstract The Malthusian predictions of the future have not come to pass due largely to innovative agricultural technologies and practices that stimulated significant gains in agricultural productivity. This chapter examines the linkages between innovation, productivity, and sustainability. The definition of agricultural productivity, measured as total factor productivity (TFP), will be explained, as well as the contribution of innovation to global TFP growth and the contribution of TFP to sustainable food and agriculture systems. To illustrate these connections, this chapter highlights innovative technologies and practices used by crop and livestock producers in the United States, Colombia, India, Kenya, and Vietnam. These cases demonstrate how advanced seed technologies, improvements in soil health and nutrient management, mechanization, and an emphasis on animal health drive productivity growth around the world. Many of these cases feature partnerships between the public sector, private sector, and producers where innovations and new practices are used to increase productivity, incomes, food security, and nutrition. Creating an enabling policy environment is essential for agricultural innovation, productivity, and sustainability; the chapter gives examples of public policies that stimulate such productivity: investing in public sector research and development (R&D), embracing science-based technologies, and establishing smart regulatory environments. The chapter includes a discussion of innovation, productivity, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Abstract:

Abstract There are almost 9 million motorcycles registered only in the United States, while in other much smaller countries such as Colombia, this number can exceed 8 million. However, the population of Colombia is about six times smaller than the population in the United States. This demonstrates that for many people around the world, motorcycles are a great transportation method, which at the same time can provide a solution to the problems of urban traffic and scarcity of parking space. In addition to the problems associated with traffic, there are also public health problems related to the air pollution generated by internal combustion engines in motor vehicles. The issue of greenhouse gases emission from motor vehicles is being tackled by electric propulsion systems. The massive use of electric vehicles can have a strong positive impact in the quality of life of people and the environment. Therefore, electric motorcycles can become an optimal solution for transportation, by reducing the problems of urban traffic and space, while also being friendly with the environment. Two ways to help popularizing these vehicles are by reducing their cost and improving their performance. This work focuses on the optimization of the suspension system which is one of the key components of a motorcycle. The main function of the suspension system is to provide safety and comfort to the riders, two conditions that must be guaranteed in a good design. This article proposes a methodology for the optimal design of a motorcycle suspension, considering the different phases of development, starting with the geometric design, where the different parameters are determined for the front suspension, such as Rake Angle and Trail, and for the rear suspension, such as the inclination and the geometry of the swing arm system. Next, the detailed design is carried out, making sure that the elements of the suspension coincide with the dimensions at the attachment points to the chassis. Once all the geometry is available, the kinematic analysis is carried out, to assess the behavior of the system during the wheel trip. A structural analysis is performed to evaluate stresses, stiffness and resonance frequencies of the system, and to evaluate the minimum safety factor of the structure under the action of typical loads. With the final geometry of the system, a lumped parameter model can be obtained to rapidly observe its transient behavior under the effect of different irregularities that may be encountered on the road, which lead to the optimization of the parameters that offer greatest comfort to the rider. This set of parameters was used as inputs for the representation of the system in the physical modeling simulation interface Simmechanics® to generate final performance graphs. The results obtained with this methodology covered the different aspects that must be considered in the design of an important part of a transportation system such as an electric motorcycle.

Abstract:

The International Health Regulations (2005) are legally binding on 196 States Parties, Including all WHO Member States. The IHR aims to keep the world informed about public health risks, through committing all signatories to cooperate together in combating any future “illness or medical condition, irrespective of origin or source, that presents or could present significant harm to humans.” Under IHR, countries agreed to strengthen their public health capacities and notify the WHO of any such illness in their populations. The WHO would be the centralized body for all countries facing a health threat, with the power to declare a “public health emergency of international concern,” issue recommendations, and work with countries to tackle a crisis. Although, with the sudden and rapid spread of COVID-19 in the world, many countries varied in implementing the WHO guidelines and health recommendations. While some countries followed the WHO guidelines, others imposed travel restrictions against the WHO’s recommendations. Some refused to share their data with the organization. Others banned the export of medical equipment, even in the face of global shortages. The UN Compliance Research group will focus during the current cycle on analyzing the compliance of the WHO member states to the organizations guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:

Available data provide a picture for the macro-economy of Colombia, agriculture, and infrastructure. Recent data on trends on public procurement were difficult to find within the scope of this rapid review. In 2020, macro-level employment figures show a large drop between February and April when COVID-19 lockdown measures were first introduced, followed by a gradual upward trend. In December 2020, the employment rate was 4.09 percentage points lower than the employment rate in December 2019. Macro-level figures from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) show that a higher percentage of men experienced job losses than women in November 2020. However, the evidence presented by the Universidad Nacional de Colombia based on the DANE great integrated house survey shows that a higher proportion of all jobs lost were lost by women in the second quarter. It may be that the imbalance shifted over time, but it is not possible to directly compare the data. Evidence suggests that women were disproportionately more burdened by home activities due to the closure of schools and childcare. There is also a suggestion that women who have lost out where jobs able to function during lockdowns with technology are more likely to be held by men. Literature also shows that women have lower levels of technology literacy. There is a lack of reliable data for understanding the economic impacts of COVID-19 for people living with disabilities. A report on the COVID-19 response and disability for the Latin America region recommends improving collaboration between policymakers and non-governmental organisations. Younger people experienced greater job losses. Data for November 2020 show 3.3 percent of the population aged under 25 lost their job compared to 1.8 percent of those employed between 24 and 54. Agriculture, livestock, and fishing increased by 2.8% in 2020 compared to 2019. And the sector as a whole grew 3.4% between the third and fourth quarters of 2020. In terms of sector differences, construction was harder hit by the initial mobility restrictions than agriculture. Construction contracted by 30.5% in the second quarter of 2020. It is making a relatively healthy recovery with reports that 84% of projects being reactivated following return to work. The President of the Colombian Chamber of Construction predicting an 8.4% growth in the construction of housing and other buildings in 2021.
