La calidad de vida es un tema crucial, que cada día retoma mayor relevancia. La investigación estableció las condiciones demográficas, sociales, económicas, nutricionales y de salud mental, asociadas a la calidad de vida de las personas mayores de Santa Marta, Popayán, Pereira, Medellín y Bucaramanga. Se realizó un estudio transversal, con análisis univariado, bivariado y multivariado apoyado en la prueba estadística chi cuadrado y razones de prevalencia crudas y ajustadas por modelo de regresión logística binaria y un análisis del perfil de calidad de vida con 2506 personas. Los instrumentos aplicados fueron: escala WHOQOL-OLD, APGAR familiar, escala MOS, escala DETERMINE y escala CES –D. Las variables que favorecen la calidad de vida fueron: vivir en Bucaramanga y Popayán, redes de apoyo sólidas, vivir en estrato medio-alto, estabilidad económica, actividad física regular, independencia funcional; ausencia de dolor, enfermedades, síntomas depresivos y un buen estado nutricional. Los resultados identificaron factores clave de calidad de vida, actualizando la perspectiva ofrecida por SABE 2015. Si bien la calidad de vida está determinada por el ámbito individual, no se puede ignorar que las condiciones objetivas son fundamentales para enfrentar las desigualdades existentes, así como cercar la brecha frente a la vulneración de sus derechos fundamentales.
It’s a fact: the world’s now leading economic power, measured by gross domestic product (GDP) in purchasing power parities, is led by a State that claims to be Marxist and, above it, a party that still calls itself communist. Neo-liberals of all persuasions deplore this, expecting that such an “absurdity” will soon come to an end—like “the end of history.” Most proponents of Marxism should welcome this, but in general, for their part, they don’t really understand why China has become, at least as they believe, a country where capitalism is dominant. Other authors, including ourselves, see things differently. This Party uses capitalism, controlling it very strictly, to accelerate development, without deviating from its primary and constant objective: the Chinese way of building a socialist society; and for this it relies on Marxism. This thesis, although very much in the minority, including on the left, is fiercely fought in the Western countries, especially in France, no doubt much more so than elsewhere in the West. This is perhaps, paradoxically, because, all in all, there are strong similarities between the two countries. These are two political nations for which the role of the State is pre-eminent, not inclined to wage war, rooted in their territories, and finally attached to common values.Nevertheless, there are multiple misunderstandings between them and rare cultural crossovers, to the point where it has become difficult, beyond linguistic walls and propaganda clichés, to grasp the true drivers of China’s economic growth and the profound nature of its socio-political system (Part I). It is probably that the modes of thought of these two peoples are very different, especially in their respective ways of apprehending contradictions and of representing the movements of dialectics (Part II), as well as in their diametrically opposed mobilisations of morality through political discourse (Part III). Finally, we will see what consequences we could draw from examining this comparison between the two cultures in order to interpret “socialism with Chinese colours” (Part IV). To carry out our demonstration, we will most frequently rely on the document of the Statutes of the Communist Party of China (CCP) in its preliminaries. There are many other texts that could be used, but this document, which has been revised and updated, contains both a statement of principles and a programme of action and, as the CCP is in the driving seat, is therefore of great importance.
This paper evaluates the Enhancing Mobile Populations’ Access to HIV and AIDS Services, Information and Support (EMPHASIS) programme implemented by CARE International across Bangladesh, India, and Nepal. Using individual-level data, we estimate the programme’s impact on HIV-related knowledge and preventive behaviours among migrant workers. Results show that participation in EMPHASIS significantly increased correct knowledge of HIV transmission, reduced misconceptions, and improved partner communication. These informational gains translated into higher condom use and fewer unsafe sexual practices, with stronger effects among women. The findings provide evidence that peer-led, information-based interventions can improve health behaviours among mobile populations. Integrating such approaches with gender empowerment and mobile health services offers a promising model for addressing HIV vulnerability in cross-border migration settings.
NVM-based PUFs offer secure authentication and cryptographic applications by exploiting NVMs' MLC to generate diverse, ML-attack-resistant responses. Yet, frequent writes degrade these PUFs, lowering reliability and lifespan. This paper presents a model to assess endurance effects on NVM PUFs, guiding the creation of more robust PUFs. Our novel NVM PUF design enhances endurance by evenly distributing writes, thus mitigating cell stress, achieving a 62x improvement over current solutions while preserving security against learning-based attacks.
