Background: Healthcare workers are a key occupational group at risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB). We investigated the prevalence and correlates of STB among hospital workers during the first wave of the Spain COVID-19 outbreak (March-July 2020). Methods: Data come from the baseline assessment of a cohort of Spanish hospital workers (n = 5450), recruited from 10 hospitals just after the height of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak (May 5-July 23, 2020). Web-based self-report surveys assessed 30-day STB, individual characteristics, and potentially modifiable contextual factors related to hospital workers' work and financial situation. Results: Thirty-day STB prevalence was estimated at 8.4% (4.9% passive ideation only, 3.5% active ideation with or without a plan or attempt). A total of n = 6 professionals attempted suicide in the past 30 days. In adjusted models, 30-day STB remained significantly associated with pre-pandemic lifetime mood (odds ratio [OR] = 2.92) and anxiety disorder (OR = 1.90). Significant modifiable factors included a perceived lack of coordination, communication, personnel, or supervision at work (population-attributable risk proportion [PARP] = 50.5%), and financial stress (PARP = 44.1%). Conclusions and Relevance: Thirty-day STB among hospital workers during the first wave of the Spain COVID-19 outbreak was high. Hospital preparedness for virus outbreaks should be increased, and strong governmental policy response is needed to increase financial security among hospital workers. ; Fondo de Investigación Sanitaria, Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación) /FEDER, Grant/Award Number: COV20/00711; ISCIII, Grant/Award Number: Sara Borrell, CD18/00049, PFIS, FI18/00012; FPU, Grant/Award Number: FPU15/05728; Generalitat de Catalunya, Grant/Award Number: 2017SGR452 ; Sí

Este libro configura un aporte sustancial para entender, desde un prisma distante de las concepciones hegemónicas en la academia, las dinámicas de lucha y las disputas en torno a lo público que signan la realidad contemporánea de América Latina y el Caribe. Un continente éste que, desde la perspectiva de los pueblos y clases subalternas que lo han forjado y habitan, ha sido renombrado como Abya Yala, Patria Grande o Nuestra América, todos ellos significantes que cargan una historia en común y una identidad cultivada al calor de las resistencias contra el despojo, la violencia y la explotación de un capitalismo neocolonial asentado en un entronque de patriarcados, y cuya unidad en la diversidad fue moldeada borgeanamente más a partir del espanto que del amor. Los capítulos que integran esta compilación auscultan el subsuelo de nuestras sociedades, hurgando en sus recovecos y márgenes para identificar, tornar comprensibles y potenciar aquellos procesos de creación, fortalecimiento y/o recuperación de lo público que, difícilmente, salgan en las tapas de diarios o los programas de televisión, salvo que acontezcan en ellos actos "delictivos" o represiones monumentales. Del Posfacio de Hernán Oubiña

Una década de Hugo Chávez Frías y su proyecto político en Venezuela trajo consigo un cambio de paradigmas que llama la atención de la sociedad en general. Este libro es el resultado del esfuerzo conjunto de un grupo de académicos de distintas nacionalidades que desde sus líneas de investigación realizan análisis que le brindan al lector elementos para comprender de manera global lo que significa una década de gobierno del Presidente Chávez en Venezuela.Este libro es el resultado del esfuerzo conjunto de un grupo de académicos de distintas nacionalidades que desde sus líneas de investigación realizan análisis que le brindan al lector elementos para comprender de manera global lo que significa una década de gobierno del Presidente Chávez en Venezuela.

Constraint-based reconstruction and analysis (COBRA) provides a molecular mechanistic framework for integrative analysis of experimental molecular systems biology data and quantitative prediction of physicochemically and biochemically feasible phenotypic states. The COBRA Toolbox is a comprehensive desktop software suite of interoperable COBRA methods. It has found widespread application in biology, biomedicine, and biotechnology because its functions can be flexibly combined to implement tailored COBRA protocols for any biochemical network. This protocol is an update to the COBRA Toolbox v.1.0 and v.2.0. Version 3.0 includes new methods for quality-controlled reconstruction, modeling, topological analysis, strain and experimental design, and network visualization, as well as network integration of chemoinformatic, metabolomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and thermochemical data. New multi-lingual code integration also enables an expansion in COBRA application scope via high-precision, high-performance, and nonlinear numerical optimization solvers for multi-scale, multi-cellular, and reaction kinetic modeling, respectively. This protocol provides an overview of all these new features and can be adapted to generate and analyze constraint-based models in a wide variety of scenarios. The COBRA Toolbox v.3.0 provides an unparalleled depth of COBRA methods. ; This study was funded by the National Centre of Excellence in Research (NCER) on Parkinson's disease, the U.S. Department of Energy, Offices of Advanced Scientific Computing Research and the Biological and Environmental Research as part of the Scientific Discovery Through Advanced Computing program, grant no.
