La gestión de la información en las organizaciones, aboga por la toma de decisiones gerenciales. Para ello es preciso conocer el significado trascendental de la gestión de la información y el conocimiento para la toma de decisiones en el contexto de las organizaciones educativas en Portoviejo-Ecuador, enfocado a desarrollar un conjunto de procedimientos para la mejora de los resultados de las mencionadas organizaciones en cualquier actividad, a través de la conversión de la información en conocimiento útil a la organización. La metodología consistió en el análisis documental y se apoyó en el método histórico lógico y el sistémico estructural funcional. Entre los resultados destacan, el establecimiento de la interacción entre gestión de la información, el conocimiento y la toma de decisiones, con la gerencia en las organizaciones educativas; además, el perfeccionamiento de la definición de gestión del conocimiento y del riesgo, en las organizaciones e instituciones educativas. Se concluye que, el proceso de conversión del dato en información, así como el conocimiento es relevante para la toma de decisiones y la gestión en las organizaciones educativas principalmente en Portoviejo-Ecuador.

Plitidepsin, a marine-derived cyclic-peptide, inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication at nanomolar concentrations by targeting the host protein eukaryotic translation elongation factor 1A. Here, we show that plitidepsin distributes preferentially to lung over plasma, with similar potency against across several SARS-CoV-2 variants in preclinical studies. Simultaneously, in this randomized, parallel, open-label, proof-of-concept study (NCT04382066) conducted in 10 Spanish hospitals between May and November 2020, 46 adult hospitalized patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection received either 1.5 mg (n = 15), 2.0 mg (n = 16), or 2.5 mg (n = 15) plitidepsin once daily for 3 d. The primary objective was safety; viral load kinetics, mortality, need for increased respiratory support, and dose selection were secondary end points. One patient withdrew consent before starting procedures; 45 initiated treatment; one withdrew because of hypersensitivity. Two Grade 3 treatment-related adverse events were observed (hypersensitivity and diarrhea). Treatment-related adverse events affecting more than 5% of patients were nausea (42.2%), vomiting (15.6%), and diarrhea (6.7%). Mean viral load reductions from baseline were 1.35, 2.35, 3.25, and 3.85 log10 at days 4, 7, 15, and 31. Nonmechanical invasive ventilation was required in 8 of 44 evaluable patients (16.0%); six patients required intensive care support (13.6%), and three patients (6.7%) died (COVID-19-related). Plitidepsin has a favorable safety profile in patients with COVID-19. ; This work was supported by grants from the Government of Spain (PIE_INTRAMURAL_ LINEA 1 - 202020E079; PIE_INTRAMURAL_CSIC-202020E043).
