  • SOCIO-CULTURAL FACTORS OF MATERNAL INFANT MORBIMORTALITY, WAYÚU COMMUNITY, JURISDICTION OF NAZARET, MUNICIPALITY OF URIBÍA DEPARTMENT OF LA GUAJIRA.
    The research team identified a significant problem regarding maternal and infant morbidity and mortality rates in the Wayuu community of Nazareth, Colombia. They gathered information from two sources: a university student from the Wayuu ethnic group who reported the concerning situation within the village, and data from various agencies and reports, which confirmed a rise in morbidity and mortality rates from 2015 to 2019. Further investigation revealed that several factors, including socioeconomic and cultural conditions unique to the Wayuu community and limited access to healthcare services, were contributing to this issue. The Wayuu community's customs and traditional health practices also played a role. Given the complexity of the problem, the research aims to deeply study the sociocultural factors affecting maternal and infant health in the Wayuu community. The goal is to develop a scientific understanding of how these factors influence morbidity and mortality rates and, ultimately, to design public health policies that integrate traditional Wayuu medicine and worldview with state healthcare practices. This approach seeks to bridge the gap between two distinct cultures and improve the health and well-being of pregnant women and children in the Wayuu community, with the potential to extend these solutions to the broader Wayuu population in Colombia.

    Objetivo: Este artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación que vincula factores organizacionales y experienciales de los consumidores mediante un análisis de las relaciones entre la percepción de la Responsabilidad Social Corporativa (RSC), la experiencia en el servicio (ES), el valor de marca (VM) y la Resistencia a la Información Negativa (RIN), en usuarios de los principales servicios bancarios en Colombia y México. Método: Los datos se recabaron entre personas mayores de edad residentes en los dos países, con la técnica de encuesta virtual, se analizaron mediante el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para comprobar las relaciones directas entre las variables, y bajo el procedimiento de permutaciones para las relaciones de moderación. Resultados: Los hallazgos destacan que la percepción de los consumidores respecto a las iniciativas de responsabilidad que desarrollan los bancos mantiene una relación directa con el valor de marca y la resistencia a la información negativa. Conclusión: Se puede inferir que son los factores organizacionales sobre los elementos experienciales del consumidor, los que prevalecen en el momento de quedar expuestos a comentarios negativos que se realicen acerca de la entidad financiera de la que son usuarios, con resultados diferentes explicados por el efecto moderador del país de origen y el género.

  • Cuidado del hogar y emprendimiento femenino en tiempos de COVID-19
    Objetivo: Identificar los factores que afectan tanto a las actividades del cuidado del hogar como a los emprendimientos realizados por mujeres payanesas para determinar cuáles de ellos pudieron cohesionarse en ambas actividades durante el tiempo de pandemia por COVID-19. Método: Para tal efecto, se implementó un modelo probit bivariado con datos de corte transversal, en el que se determinó la correlación entre ambos fenómenos. En este sentido, se identificaron variables que atañen al background de las mujeres, otras de carácter socioeconómico y algunas exclusivas del emprendimiento que ayudaron a explicar las dos actividades de forma conjunta. La información se obtuvo de un muestreo incidental llevado a cabo en línea en el mes de diciembre de 2020. Resultados: Los principales hallazgos señalan que durante el confinamiento por pandemia el cuidado del hogar y el emprendimiento en el hogar fueron actividades estrechamente relacionadas dado que las horas de cuidado y la jornada laboral estuvieron mezcladas al realizarse actividades propias de cada una de ellas de forma simultánea. Las variables no tener hijos, educación y edad, reducen la posibilidad de cuidar el hogar puesto que los/as niños/as, como personas dependientes, demandan más actividades de cuidado, que han sido atribuidas tradicionalmente a las mujeres. La variable violencia intrafamiliar aumenta considerablemente la probabilidad de cuidado en el hogar. La decisión de realizar o continuar con un emprendimiento en el hogar responde positivamente cuando la mujer no tiene hijos. Conclusiones: En el caso del emprendimiento, las dificultades afrontadas por la empresa o el empleo femenino reducen la probabilidad de iniciar o continuar con el emprendimiento en el hogar. A su vez, el cambio de razón social o la operación restringida del negocio, la aumentan.

An online survey was applied to 2495 women during April 1 to June 3, 2021, obtaining the response of 86 women (sample for this study). 3.5%
