"Discipline is basically the mechanism of power by which we manage to control in the social body even the faintest elements by which we come to touch the social atoms themselves, that is, the individuals". Foucault, (1991), this article aims to find under a sociological perspective, the transformative power exercised by accounting as a social science, in relation to the social responsibility that both public and private organizations must hold, to comply with the SDGs. The microsociology of organizations allows the analysis under a methodical consciousness that attends, as a functional reference, the socioformative strategy (Tobón, 2013), with which not only the epistemic representation of the object to be investigated is obtained, but also the methodological solution for its application, supported by pedagogical and conceptual social cartography. It is concluded that accounting has epistemological supports that frame it in a privileged position of power, in the transformation of sociological structures, inside and outside the organization, with epistemic essence to guide and motivate ethical and responsible behaviors in compliance with the SDGs.

The purpose in life is key to face diverse situations that arise in human beings, such as the current pandemic situation and the effects it has on people's general state of health. The present study aims to establish the purpose in life and its relationship with the emotional state of people during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study included 501 Nicaraguan university students with an age M = 20.9 years (SD = 5.2 years) and 56% female. The participants answered the surveys online. The tests applied were: PIL, EVEA and PSS, together with an ad hoc questionnaire to determine the participants' level of physical activity and relaxation. The mean value of the PIL test was 107.1 (SD = 20.4) indicating that the sample has a medium sense of achievement. The PIL test scores correlated positively with joy (p < .01) and negatively with anger (p < .01), anxiety (p < .01), depression (p < .01) and stress (p < .01). The sample reported a low level of physical activity and relaxation activities, and sleep problems were generally low in prevalence. In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, having a clear purpose in life can be decisive in coping with stress and tension, and the promotion of PA and relaxation is suggested to maintain people's overall health.

The real estate sector in Panama, as well as the economy as a whole, has experienced a sharp decline in both performance and forecasts. However, prior to the onset of covid-19, the real estate sector was emerging as one of the greatest boosters of the economy. In this way, any event that occurs within the construction industry has direct and substantial repercussions on the economy of a country, as was taken for granted by the 2008 crisis, which is why many countries in the world have developed various models. to anticipate any hint of speculation. This study aims to determine if Panama is facing a probable real estate bubble. To this end, a bibliographic review was carried out of the studies carried out in recent years on the determinants of the real estate bubble, bursts or crisis. Through multiple linear regression, taking the price per square meter of housing as the dependent variable, and GDP, GDP per capita, the reference rate of the mortgage market and inflation as independent variables, it was possible to determine that, in During the time period studied, the variables explain the increase in house prices by 61%.

In human management, it is important to implement methods that are efficient in relation to the trends and best practices that arise and provide real value, either to undertake a project, and more importantly, to transform the culture of our organizations towards a more efficient and agile era. The VUCA environment in which we currently live has impacted the way in which organizations must operate to be more competitive and earn a place in today's market. This has caused them to adapt their rigid processes to flexible, participatory, democratic and efficient ways of working in order to carry out their projects in a more agile way, in search of results in less time than usual. This is where the so-called agile methodologies take on great relevance, which come to break paradigms and bring a wide variety of benefits to the business sector. Although the agile methodology was born with the objective of improving the processes used for the development of software projects and thus obtain results in less time, taking into account the opinion of the client in relation to the prototypes during their development, its effectiveness has sparked interest for extend its scope of application to the HR area, from recruitment processes, improvement of the organization's performance, among others. To focus on competitiveness and its importance in the post-covid era, we will focus on the agile methodology as a tool to improve team performance in organizations and its positive impact on processes of attraction, talent retention, problem solving, reinforcement of the employer brand, among others.

Introducción: las luxaciones facetarias traumáticas cervicales son frecuentes y requieren reducción, por métodos cerrados o abiertos. La reducción quirúrgica puede realizarse por abordaje anterior, posterior o combinado. La conducta a seguir resulta controversial.Objetivo: evaluar los resultados de la reducción, estabilización interna y fusión por vía anterior en luxaciones cervicales subaxiales.Métodos: se realizó un estudio cuasi-experimental controlado no aleatorio en el Hospital Clínico Quirúrgico de Holguín en el período: noviembre/2016-agosto/2019. Se trabajó con la totalidad de la población -27 pacientes-, que cumplieron con los criterios de selección. La información se obtuvo en las historias clínicas e informes operatorios. Se emplearon varias clasificaciones y escalas al evaluar las variables en estudio. Se cumplieron los principios éticos.Resultados: predominó el sexo masculino (88,89 %), el grupo de 33 a 46 años (33,30 %) y la mayoría presentaron lesiones neurológicas (92,60 %), seis de ellos con lesiones completas (22,20 %). El nivel más afectado fue C5-C6 (48,15 %). En 81,48 % la intervención quirúrgica se realizó en las primeras 24 horas y en 18,52 % dentro de las 48 horas. En 81,48 % se realizó disectomía y en 18,52 % corporectomía, ambos seguidos de fijación. La reducción cerrada preoperatoria fue usada en 22,22 %. Durante el seguimiento de la fusión, 66,67 % logró el grado I a los tres meses y 70,07 % a los seis.Conclusiones: la intervención mediante este tipo de abordaje garantiza una fusión vertebral satisfactoria ante luxaciones facetarias tipo C, sin necesidad de una intervención por vía posterior

Introducción: el virus de la viruela símica es una enfermedad zoonótica viral, rara, que puede transmitirse de animales a humanos y entre personas.Objetivo: exponer la distribución epidemiológica, las características clínicas, de diagnóstico y tratamiento, así como las acciones de prevención.Métodos: se realizó una revisión bibliográfica sistemática para la cual se consultaron 36 fuentes en español e inglés, de las cuales se seleccionaron 28, que cumplían los criterios de inclusión. Se emplearon los métodos histórico-lógico y analítico-sintético para desarrollar la valoración crítica del contenido de documentos publicados entre 2020-2022. La estrategia de búsqueda incluyó la revisión de las bases de datos SCIELO, LILACS, PUBMED, MEDLINE y el motor de búsqueda Google Académico.Desarrollo: el mayor brote documentado ocurrió en Nigeria en 2017. El período de incubación varía entre cinco y 21 días; la transmisión sucede a través del contacto directo o indirecto con fluidos corporales, sangre o lesiones en piel y mucosas. Inicia con fiebre, cefalea, erupción cutánea, dolores musculares, linfadenopatías y cansancio. Entre las complicaciones se destacan, infecciones secundarias, bronconeumonía y síndrome séptico. La reacción en cadena de la polimerasa es el diagnóstico confirmatorio.Conclusiones: la caracterización clínica del virus de la viruela símica es difícil durante la fase inicial, a menos que la persona sea un contacto estrecho de un caso ya identificado. El conocimiento de la situación epidemiológica, la vigilancia activa y el desarrollo efectivo de acciones de promoción y prevención para la salud son herramientas para controlar la propagación de la enfermedad

Introduction: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors generally have a long silent period until clinical manifestation and expansive growth that displaces neighboring structures without invading them.Objective: to present a case with bile duct obstruction due to extrinsic compression caused by a gastrointestinal stromal tumor of the duodenum.Presentation of the case: a 63-year-old male patient, with a history of complicated acid-peptic disease, who by chance was detected an image in the projection of the head of the pancreas that suggested the existence of a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, confirmed by histological and immunohistochemistry analysis. The multidisciplinary care team considered the tumor unresectable due to vascular compromise and high morbidity due to advanced disease, for which neoadjuvant therapy with imatinib was instituted. Months later, a secondary biliary obstructive condition to extrinsic tumor compression led to the death of the patient.Conclusions: Gastrointestinal stromal tumors constitute a diagnostic challenge for primary care professionals, requiring early and rapid management of affected patients, both from a clinical and imaging point of view. A clinical case is contributed to the literature that reveals the deleterious effects of late diagnosis in advanced stages of these tumors, which prevents the implementation of therapeutic options that allow greater survival of patients affected by cancer.

El resultado restaurador permitió su rápida reinserción escolar y recuperación desde el punto de vista psicológico, estético y funcional

Climate change affects the hydrological regimes of rivers. The water recession in times of drought negatively transform the wetlands. The structural and functional alteration that they produce in them mainly modifies the plant productivity and soils, and this is aggravated when fires occur. For the years 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2022, the water coverage of the Upper Delta of the Paraná River was estimated through satellite images, and the effects on some edaphic properties caused by fires were evaluated in a sector of an island of the same wetland. The water cover was estimated using Sentinel 2 A/B satellite image mosaics. Geoprocessing tasks were performed on Google Earth Engine. The state of the soils was characterized in 18 positions that had different severities of burning. The combined effect of a pronounced drop in the river level with a very intense climatic drought strongly conditioned the surface covered by water in the wetland area. The fires had negative effects mainly on the soils of the sites with the highest burning severity in two chemical variables and in one physical-mechanical variable. If these environmental combinations are repeated, the wetland will riskily increase its ecosystem vulnerability.

The Paraná River basin has approximately 2,700,000 km², while its main affluent, the Paraguay River, involves areas of Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina. Simply put, the flow of Paraná River originates mainly from rain falling on the tributary basins of the Alto Paraná (Brazil), the Iguazú River (Brazil and Argentina) and the Paraguay River (Paraguay, Argentina and Bolivia). River regime has always been characterized by cycles, alternating water level rises and drops (or low flows), with different degrees of severity and duration.As for the extraordinary drop occurred in the 2019–2022 period, among its causes one may mentioned variability and climate change; alterations in runoff conditions due to changes in land use (deforestation, intensive agricultural practices involving monocultures, elimination of natural floodplains, fires, unplanned and illegal channeling); etc.This kind of extraordinary event has an impact on numerous aspects related to the river environment, for example, alterations in wetland ecosystem services (flora, fauna, water quality, soil alterations). The drop also affects infrastructure works, such as water supply intakes, and inland waterway transport, among others.This special issue of the Journal presents and disseminates works focused on the causes and effects of the extraordinary drop of the Paraná River water level during the 2019–2022 period, with contributions from different disciplines concerned with this issue.The content of this section may be of interest to researchers, professors, experts, students and professionals connected to the topic.The editorial board of the Journal wishes to thank the professionals involved for their contributions to this issue.
