Perfil de resistencia microbiológico en ciudados intensivos adultos en la fundación Santa Fe de Bogotá año 2014

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo; se usó la base de datos de los aislamientos microbiológicos documentados en las UCI de la Fundación Santa fe de Bogotá para el año 2014. La prevalencia de bacterias resistentes en los aislamientos de la FSFB no es baja, por lo que se requiere una terapia empírica acertada acorde con la flora local. Se requieren estudios analíticos para evaluar factores asociados al desarrollo de gérmenes multi resistentes y mortalidad por sepsis

The cyclical behavior of bank capital buffers in an emerging economy: size do matters

Using a panel of Colombian banks and quarterly data between 1996:1 and 2010:3, we study the relationship between short-run adjustemnts in bank capital buffers and the business cycle. We follow a partial adjustment framework and control for several variables that have been identified as important determinants of bank capital buffers in previous studies, and find that bank capital buffers vary over the business cycle. We are able to identify a negative co-movement of capital buffers and and the business cycle. However, we also find that capital buffers of small and large banks behave asymmetrically during the business cycle. While the former appear to be constant over time, once the appropriate set of control variables is used, the latter present a countercyclical behavior. Our results suggest the possible need of the implementation of regulatory policy measures in developing countries

A firm-level analysis of ICT adoption in an emerging economy: evidence from the colombian manufacturing industries

This study examines ICT adoption among 3,759 Colombian manufacturing firms, and attempts to identify the factors that are conducive to the adoption and usage of ICT at the firm level. Our major findings are (i) that the adoption of a given information and communication technology is better facilitated when a firm is relatively large, has large human capital, engages in more innovative activities, and when a firm’s organizational structure is better aligned with the given technology; (ii) that positive associations between the key determinants and ICT adoptions are more pronounced for small and medium-sized firms than for large ones, and (iii) that information spillovers within industries is also a determinant of ICT adoptions by the firms.
