Los procesos constituyentes que analizamos coincidieron en la misma década y tiempo político de transformaciones: en Ecuador el debate se desarrolló entre los años 2007-2009, en Bolivia entre 2006-2009 y en Perú entre 2001 y 2003. A la fecha, no existen investigaciones sobre la forma en que se han articulado los procesos constituyentes en tanto procesos políticos de democratización y/o de escolonización en relación a las demandas por laicizar al Estado a través de nuevas disposiciones constitucionales en torno a sexualidades, reproducción y las relaciones iglesia-Estado. La casi simultaneidad de los procesos constituyentes peruano, boliviano y ecuatoriano y los aparentemente idénticos desafíos que atravesaron en relación a los temas debatidos que son objeto de esta investigación, merecían un análisis detenido que pudiera enriquecer el balance sobre lo que significaron y significan dichos procesos para América Latina, y eso es lo que hemos pretendido realizar en el presente trabajo. ; Agradecimientos | 11 Introducción | 13 PARTE I LAICOS, PERO CREYENTES: LEGITIMIDADES SACRAS EN COMPETENCIA | 21 Capítulo 1 Inspiraciones religiosas en la Constitución | 23 Capítulo 2 Libertad religiosa, de conciencia e igualdad religiosa: ¿sólo para ortodoxos? | 65 Capítulo 3 Declaración de la laicidad del Estado | 87 PARTE II LAICOS, PERO NO TANTO: LAICIDAD, SEXO Y RELIGIÓN EN FUEGO CRUZADO | 135 Capítulo 1 Vida, sexo y reproducción: ¿pro-vidas o pro-vida digna? | 137 Capítulo 2 La unión de personas del mismo sexo: ¿"familia" o "familias"? | 235 Capítulo 3 Educación pública, religiosa y sexual: ¿órdenes tutelares o autonomía privada? | 265 Reflexiones Finales | 279 Bibliografía | 291

PurposeWeb‐based information retrieval offers the potential to exploit a vast, continuously updated and widely available repository of emerging information to support horizon scanning and scenario development. However, the ability to continuously retrieve the most relevant documents from a large, dynamic source of information of varying quality, relevance and credibility is a significant challenge. The purpose of this paper is to describe the initial development of an automated web‐based information retrieval system and its application within horizon scanning for risk analysis support.Design/methodology/approachUsing an area of recent interest for the insurance industry, namely, space weather — the changing environmental conditions in near‐Earth space — and its potential risks to terrestrial and near‐Earth insurable assets, the authors benchmarked the system against current information retrieval practice within the emerging risks group of a leading global insurance company.FindingsThe results highlight the potential of web‐based horizon scanning to support risk analysis, but also the challenges of undertaking this effectively. The authors addressed these challenges by introducing a process that offers a degree of automation — using an API‐based approach — and improvements in retrieval precision — using keyword combinations within automated queries. This appeared to significantly improve the number of highly relevant documents retrieved and presented to risk analysts when benchmarked against current practice in an insurance context.Originality/valueDespite the emergence and increasing use of web‐based horizon scanning in recent years as a systematic approach for decision support, the current literature lacks research studies where the approach is benchmarked against current practices in private and public sector organisations. This paper therefore makes an original contribution to this field, discussing the way in which web‐based horizon scanning may offer significant added value for the risk analysts, for what may be only a modest additional investment in time.

BACKGROUND: Ageing in place has recently gained visibility in healthcare policies and services. Technology has the potential to facilitate independence at home. The objective of this systematic review is to identify technologies that have been rigorously evaluated for supporting the ageing in place of healthy older adults. As well we explored the methods in engagement with technology in healthy older adults. METHODS: Databases Pubmed, Scopus, PsycInfo and Cinahl were consulted for clinical controlled trials or randomised controlled trials between 2014 and 2019. Studies were included if they contained a technological intervention and focussed on supporting healthy older adults' independent living. PRISMA guidelines and the risk of bias tool of the Cochrane Collaboration were applied. RESULTS: The search identified 3662 articles of which only 7 made the final analysis. Through narrative analysis, technologies were categorised into three groups: accessible communication, emergency assistance and physical and mental well-being. Patient-centredness was extensively addressed by exploring how the participants engaged in the development and evaluation of the technology and how they were trained and monitored. CONCLUSIONS: Literature concerning technology to support ageing, based on controlled trials and research performed in authentic home situations, is scarce. Thus, there is a need to investigate the subject in depth. The use of a neurofeedback headband, an accessible computer system, a wristband with pedometer, a biofeedback device and an online video platform can bring added value to ageing in place for healthy older adults. A patient-centred approach for developing, implementing and evaluating technology benefits ageing in place.

PurposeIn this review, the aim is first to define horizon scanning and then outline the general approach currently employed by many organisations using web‐based resources. It then aims to discuss the benefits and drivers of horizon scanning, to identify some organisations currently undertaking activities in the field, and explain in detail how the web‐based horizon scanning approach is implemented. The aim is then to conclude with a discussion of good practice and areas for further research.Design/methodology/approachThe basis for this review is a symposium held at the UK Defence Science and Technology Laboratory in March 2010, where groups undertaking horizon scanning activities shared practices and reviewed the state of the art. Practitioners from both public sector and private organisations attending this symposium, as well as others, were invited to contribute to the manuscript, developing this as an iterative exercise over the last year.FindingsStructured processes of web‐based horizon scanning, underpinned by strong technical understanding and principles of good practice described in the review, can add significant value to organisational decision making.Originality/valueWhile a growing number of private and public sector organisations have already embarked on the use of the web as a key information resource, no detailed explanation of the web‐based horizon scanning approach has been published. The review therefore makes an original contribution to this field, with collaborations by horizon scanning practitioners, discussing what constitutes good practice and highlighting areas where future research is needed.
