    Abstract El libro revisa y analiza algunos de los factores que influyen en el desarrollo económico regional y nacional, tales como: formación de clusters , redes empresariales y los impactos del crecimiento económico sobre el medio ambiente. La obra reúne un conjunto de ocho estudios que abordan diversos enfoques de análisis de los determinantes del crecimiento de las manufacturas y de otros ramos económicos significativos del país, incluye también otros de naturaleza local donde confluyen procesos socio territoriales que influyen en el crecimiento y desarrollo económico regional. Los argumentos de los autores principalmente se sustentan en modelos econométricos, y también en análisis cualitativo. El libro se divide en tres partes, Productividad y externalidades está formada por dos capítulos, Redes empresariales y clusters conformada por tres capítulos y Sustentabilidad ambiental y desarrollo regional compuesta por tres capítulos. Los coordinadores del libro Ruiz, Tapia, Vite y Gomis, trataron de hacer una integración de los temas, aunque de inicio reconocen que este esfuerzo de integración es aún incompleto. La mayor parte de las contribuciones son producto de las tesis de obtención de grado de egresados y de sus tutores en el postgrado de El Colegio de la Frontera Norte. En las páginas finales del libro se da una breve presentación de la trayectoria académica de cada uno de los autores que hicieron un aporte en la obra.

  3. Article ; Online: Ethical Shortcomings of QALY: Discrimination Against Minorities in Public Health.

    Andrade, Gabriel

    Abstract Despite progress, discrimination in public health remains a problem. A significant aspect of this problem relates to how medical resources are allocated. The paradigm of quality-adjusted-life-year (QALY) dictates that medical resources should be allocated on the basis of units measured as length of life and quality of life that are expected after the implementation of a treatment. In this article, I discuss some of the ethical shortcomings of QALY, by focusing on some of its flawed moral aspects, as well as the way it relates to discrimination on the basis of age, race, and disability status. I argue that while this approach seeks to maximize efficiency, it does not place sufficient value on the preservation of life itself. Even more concerning is the fact that the use of QALY disproportionately harms minorities. While QALY is a well-intentioned approach to the allocation of scarce healthcare resources, new alternatives must be sought.

    Abstract For the past 10 years, Venezuela has undergone a severe electric crisis. However, not all regions have been equally affected. The city of Maracaibo has endured more blackouts than other cities, and they have now become routine. This article sought to study the impact of electric shortages on the mental health of Maracaibo's inhabitants. Using a sample from all districts in the city, the study sought to test if there are correlations between the number of hours without electricity (per week), and four dimensions of mental health: anxiety, depression, poor sleep quality, and boredom. Results came out showing that there are moderate correlations across all four variables.

    Abstract Venezuela's social and economic crisis of the past eight years has had an impact on healthcare services. However, because Venezuela has traditionally been thought to be a country with low levels of racism, it has been assumed that mental health nurses' satisfaction is the same across ethnic groups. The present study tests that hypothesis. Results come out showing that, as compared to whites, mental health nurses of color in Venezuela have lower levels of job satisfaction, and higher levels of perceived ethnic discrimination. Results also show that amongst mental health nurses of color in Venezuela, perceived ethnic discrimination and job satisfaction are negatively correlated.

    Abstract Venezuela is one of the Latin American nations that has traditionally participated in the myth of racial democracy. According to this myth, inasmuch as Venezuela is a racially mixed country, racism is largely absent. That has made virtually invisible the plight of Afro-Venezuelans, who continue to suffer discrimination. In the present study, 402 Afro-Venezuelans were surveyed regarding their perceived discrimination and their levels of depression. Results came out showing that, compared to white Venezuelans, Afro-Venezuelans are more likely to suffer both perceived discrimination and depression. Likewise, it was also found that among Afro-Venezuelans, perceived discrimination has a statistically significant correlation with depression. However, one particular marker of depression (suicidal ideation) does not have correlation with any dimension of perceived discrimination.

    Abstract Perceived ethnic discrimination is known to be associated with anxiety and depression, and in turn, anxiety and depression are known to be associated with nightmare frequency and distress. This elicits a question: is perceived ethnic discrimination associated with nightmare frequency and distress? In this study, 179 female university students from the United Arab Emirates were assessed to answer that question. Results showed that while anxiety and depression were related to nightmare experiences, perceived ethnic discrimination was a stronger predictor of nightmare experiences. We posit two explanations for this finding: one based on psychoanalytical insights, and the other based on the Disposition-Stress model with neurobiological correlates. No significant differences were found across ethnicity when it comes to nightmare experiences or perceived ethnic discrimination. This is an encouraging sign of optimal societal integration in the United Arab Emirates.

    Abstract The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Venezuela has made it difficult to satisfactorily manage the COVID-19 pandemic in that nation. A vaccination program has begun, but its pace has been slow, as compared to vaccination in other countries. One considerable obstacle faced by vaccination efforts in Venezuela is vaccine hesitancy. Differences across religious groups regarding vaccine hesitancy in Venezuela have not been sufficiently explored. The present study consists of a sample of 230 university students in Venezuela, assessing their intention to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Their responses are compared across religious affiliations, and correlated with three variables: belief in vaccine conspiracy theories, religiosity, and acceptance of the theory of evolution. Results come out showing that Protestants are the religious group most hesitant to get the COVID-19 vaccine, followed by Catholics and the non-religious. Results also show that vaccine hesitancy is correlated with vaccine conspiracy theories and acceptance of the theory of evolution, but not with religiosity itself.
