Cooperación para el desarrollo y cambios en la función de gobierno en los países receptores de ayuda al desarrollo: análisis a propósito del debate sobre transición a la democracia en Egipto

Con base en los conceptos de interdependencia, riesgo, gobernanza, soberanía y democracia, se discute en este artículo un mecanismo para formalizar el efecto de los cambios recientes en el sistema de cooperación internacional para el desarrollo sobre la función de gobierno en los países receptores de ayuda al desarrollo, lo que permite plantear nuevas dimensiones en el debate sobre el problema de la soberanía. Se toma como caso de estudio el proceso de transición a la democracia en Egipto y el papel que juegan actores de la cooperación internacional en la orientación normativa de este debate.-----Building on the concepts of interdependence, risk, governance, sovereignty and democracy, as a base, this article discusses a mechanism to formalize the effect of recent changes in the international development cooperation system upon the government function in the countries that receive development aid. This allows for the proposal of new dimensions within the debate on the problem of sovereignty. The case study taken is the process of transition to democracy in Egypt and the roles that different actors of the international cooperation play in the normative orientation of this debate.

SIDUR: development of an information system, using controlled vocabulary designed to the characterization and sample of population with and without disability, attended by Rehabilitation programs, University of Rosario

Introduction: the statistical record used in the Field Academic Programs (PAC for it’s initials in Spanish) of Rehabilitation denotes generalities in the data conceptualization, which complicates the reliable guidance in making decisions and provides a low support for research in rehabilitation and disability. In response, the Research Group in Rehabilitation and Social Integration of Persons with Disabilities has worked on the creation of a registry to characterize the population seen by Rehabilitation PAC. This registry includes the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) of the WHO. Methodology: the proposed methodology includes two phases: the first one is a descriptive study and the second one involves performing methodology Methontology, which integrates the identification and development of ontology knowledge. This article contextualizes the progress made in the second phase. Results: the development of the registry in 2008, as an information system, included documentary review and the analysis of possible use scenarios to help guide the design and development of the SIDUR system. The system uses the ICF given that it is a terminology standardization that allows the reduction of ambiguity and that makes easier the transformation of health facts into data translatable to information systems. The record raises three categories and a total of 129 variables Conclusions: SIDUR facilitates accessibility to accurate and updated information, useful for decision making and research.
