Literaturas posautónomas 2.0 (Crítica)

Este ensayo plantea que la literatura latinoamericana actual abandona su propia esfera: de la ficción bien definida, de los claros requisitos de un texto para constituir «literatura», incluso de las clasificaciones en géneros. Esa esfera de «lo literario», amparada en reglas e instituciones, pierde consistencia, se limita entonces el poder y la capacidad de presión política que la literatura tuvo hasta hace pocas décadas. La actual literatura, finalizada la época de su autonomía, hablar de una vida moderna en la cual «todo lo cultural es económico» y donde «toda ficción es realidad» (y viceversa, en ambos casos). Lo cotidiano es ahora la vida, pero intervenida por las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (que le prestan rasgos de virtualidad o de irrealidad). Se plantea con ellas el desafío de intentar una lectura desde otros parámetros, en caso contrario, se puede caer en la simpleza de calificarlas como no-literatura o «literatura mala».

Opinión pública 2.0 en el entorno de Twitter respecto al proyecto de Ley Orgánica de Comunicación en el Ecuador

La investigación Opinión pública 2.0 en el entorno de Twitter respecto al proyecto de Ley Orgánica de Comunicación en Ecuador realiza una aproximación desde el análisis de contenido a los mensajes de Twitter respecto al asunto de la Ley en cuestión. Muestra la diversidad de opiniones de una comunidad dialogante que trata de aportar con ideas a la discusión política de la Ley en el seno de la Asamblea Nacional. Los datos muestran que existe un imaginario de censura y coartamiento a las libertades pero al mismo tiempo la necesidad de impostar una ley que cambie el panorama comunicacional del Ecuador, acorde con las exigencias del mandato popular. Aunque existe esta dicotomía, el trabajo muestra que a partir de estas evidencias es necesario pensar la noción de comunidad social y comunidad democrática a partir de la idea de la conversación, base de lo que acontece en Twitter. El autor asimismo plantea la necesidad de pensar una nueva formación social, cual es la opinión pública 2.0 diferente a las clásicas convenciones que se tienen de esta.

Coordination modes of 3-aminosalicylic and 3-hydroxyanthranilic acids in palladium(II), platinum(II) and rhenium(V) complexes. The crystal structure of cis-[Pt(HsalNH)(PPh3)(2)] (.) 0.25C(2)H(5)OH

New Pd(II), Pt(II) and Re(V) complexes of 3-aminosalicylic acid (H(2)salNH(2)) and 3-hydroxyantranilic acid (HantOH) have been prepared, cis-[Pt (HsalNH)(PPh3)(2)] center dot 0.25C(2)H(5)OH (1), trans-[PdCl(salNH(2))(PPh3)(2)](2), trans-[ReOI2(HsalNH(2))(PPh3)] center dot (CH3)(2)CO (3), cis-[Pt(HantO)(PPh3)(2)] (4), trans-[PdCl(antOH)(PPh3)(2)] center dot 4H(2)O (5), [PdCl(antOH)(bipy)] center dot C2H5OH (6), [PdCl2(HantOH)(2)] (7) and trans-[ReOI(HantO)(PPh3)(2)] center dot (CH3)(2)CO (8). The crystal structure of complex I was determined showing chelation of HsalNH(2-) through the adjacent nitrogen and oxygen atoms of the amino and phenolate groups. Infrared and H-1 NMR spectroscopic data for the complexes are presented. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Automated organizational network analysis for enterprise 2.0

Social Networking Sites have recently become a mainstream communications technology for many people around the world. Major IT vendors are releasing social software designed for use in a business/commercial context. These Enterprise 2.0 technologies have impressive collaboration and information sharing functionality, but so far they do not have any organizational network analysis (ONA) features that reveal any patterns of connectivity within business units. This paper shows the impact of organizational network analysis techniques and social networks on organizational performance, we also give an overview on current enterprise social software, and most importantly, we highlight how Enterprise 2.0 can help automate an organizational network analysis.

Targeting medication non-adherence behavior in selected autoimmune diseases: a systematic approach to digital health program development

Background 29 autoimmune diseases, including Rheumatoid Arthritis, gout, Crohn’s Disease, and Systematic Lupus Erythematosus affect 7.6-9.4% of the population. While effective therapy is available, many patients do not follow treatment or use medications as directed. Digital health and Web 2.0 interventions have demonstrated much promise in increasing medication and treatment adherence, but to date many Internet tools have proven disappointing. In fact, most digital interventions continue to suffer from high attrition in patient populations, are burdensome for healthcare professionals, and have relatively short life spans. Objective Digital health tools have traditionally centered on the transformation of existing interventions (such as diaries, trackers, stage-based or cognitive behavioral therapy programs, coupons, or symptom checklists) to electronic format. Advanced digital interventions have also incorporated attributes of Web 2.0 such as social networking, text messaging, and the use of video. Despite these efforts, there has not been little measurable impact in non-adherence for illnesses that require medical interventions, and research must look to other strategies or development methodologies. As a first step in investigating the feasibility of developing such a tool, the objective of the current study is to systematically rate factors of non-adherence that have been reported in past research studies. Methods Grounded Theory, recognized as a rigorous method that facilitates the emergence of new themes through systematic analysis, data collection and coding, was used to analyze quantitative, qualitative and mixed method studies addressing the following autoimmune diseases: Rheumatoid Arthritis, gout, Crohn’s Disease, Systematic Lupus Erythematosus, and inflammatory bowel disease. Studies were only included if they contained primary data addressing the relationship with non-adherence. Results Out of the 27 studies, four non-modifiable and 11 modifiable risk factors were discovered. Over one third of articles identified the following risk factors as common contributors to medication non-adherence (percent of studies reporting): patients not understanding treatment (44%), side effects (41%), age (37%), dose regimen (33%), and perceived medication ineffectiveness (33%). An unanticipated finding that emerged was the need for risk stratification tools (81%) with patient-centric approaches (67%). Conclusions This study systematically identifies and categorizes medication non-adherence risk factors in select autoimmune diseases. Findings indicate that patients understanding of their disease and the role of medication are paramount. An unexpected finding was that the majority of research articles called for the creation of tailored, patient-centric interventions that dispel personal misconceptions about disease, pharmacotherapy, and how the body responds to treatment. To our knowledge, these interventions do not yet exist in digital format. Rather than adopting a systems level approach, digital health programs should focus on cohorts with heterogeneous needs, and develop tailored interventions based on individual non-adherence patterns.
