La rotación del personal en los Gobiernos Autónomos Descentralizados Municipales y su impacto en el clima organizacional/The rotation of personnel in the Municipal Decentralized Autonomous Governments and their impact on the organizational climate

Los cambios constantes en el nivel de las organizaciones públicas hacen que estas expandan su visión y la competitividad permanente lleva a los Gobiernos Autónomos Descentralizados (GAD) Municipales a desarrollar estrategias para alcanzar sus objetivos, es así como, la contratación y la continuidad de los despidos del personal representa un problema de gran magnitud para las instituciones, pues sin duda, limita el desarrollo eficiente que se desearía tener, ya que la productividad de la institución se ve significativamente afectada, evidenciándose un mal clima organizacional, restando la eficiencia eficacia y efectividad en los procesos, influyendo directamente en los resultados Esta investigación determina un análisis de las causas del clima organizacional en una institución pública. Debido a la alta tasa de rotación evidenciada dentro de los municipios según se constata en las encuestas realizadas, principalmente en el personal operativo, que son aquellos que trabajan directamente con los usuarios y pueden tener los efectos causados por el servicio ofrecido. En consecuencia, esta investigación conlleva aumentar el servicio al usuario proporcionado por los colaboradores públicos. Y una relación muy estrecha entre el clima organizacional medido y la rotación de personar también se define al analizar la premisa de que si el clima organizacional mejora la rotación de personal se reducirá el malestar entre compañeros de trabajo, ya que puede haber razones que no se conocen o están fuera del control y, por lo tanto, no se pueden mejorar el lineamiento de prestigio institucional. Constant changes at the level of public organizations mean that they expand their vision and permanent competitiveness leads the Municipal Autonomous Decentralized Governments (GAD) to develop strategies to achieve their objectives, such as hiring and continuity of layoffs The staff represents a problem of great magnitude for the institutions, because without a doubt, it limits the efficient development that one would like to have, since the productivity of the institution is significantly affected, evidencing a bad organizational climate, subtracting the efficiency effectiveness and effectiveness in the processes, directly influencing the results This research determines an analysis of the causes of the organizational climate in a public institution. Due to the high rate of turnover evidenced within the municipalities as found in the surveys carried out, mainly in the operating personnel, which are those that work directly with users and can have the effects caused by the service offered. Consequently, this research entails increasing the user service provided by public collaborators. And a very close relationship between the measured organizational climate and the turnover of people is also defined when analyzing the premise that if the organizational climate improves staff turnover, discomfort among coworkers will be reduced, since there may be reasons that are not they know or are out of control and, therefore, the institutional prestige guidelines can not be improved.

Abstract Collective leadership, reflecting the representative and participatory character of bureaucracies, is known to have a good fit for public organizations. Despite the importance of the topic, very few studies have examined what triggers the emergence of shared or participative leadership in public organizations and how these plural forms of leadership translate into team outcomes. To fill this gap, this study explores whether the existence of an organizational climate characterized by participative safety (a climate characterized by shared purpose, social support, and voice) can facilitate the emergence of collective forms of leadership, such as shared leadership. Further, we investigate if shared leadership ultimately influences an important organizational outcome: voluntary turnover. To test our model, we conducted a field study with 96 public schools and more than 1,000 teachers of the public educational system of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Our results highlight the importance of the existence of a favorable organizational climate for the emergence of shared leadership and provide evidence of the positive effects of this type of leadership on reducing turnover ratings among public teachers.

e14027 Background: The optimal timing to initiation adjuvant chemotherapy in colon cancer is unknown. Studies suggest that the delay to start chemotherapy may compromise the therapeutic outcome. The purpose of this study was to assess the reasons for delaying adjuvant treatment and the implications in clinical outcome of patients treated in a public institution from Brazil. Methods: Retrospective analysis of medical records of patients enrolled in National Institute of Cancer in Brazil, from 2000 to 2006, with colon adenocarcinoma, stage II and III. Patients were dichotomized into early and late treatment groups. Results: Of 327 patients studied, 172 underwent adjuvant chemotherapy, the majority of these (62%) were stage III. Time to onset ranged between 10 and 142 days (mean 61). Eighty patients (45%) started treatment with more than 60 days after surgery, the reasons for delay were: postoperative complications 8.7%, related to the system (delay in the histopathological, referral, or surgery at other institutions) 72.5%, related to patients 5% and for medical reasons 7.5%. In 6.2% of cases the reason for the delay was not identified. There was no difference in progression-free survival or overall survival between those who received adjuvant chemotherapy within 60 days post surgery compared with those who received it after more than 60 days. Conclusions: Despite the high rate of delaying for start adjuvant treatment in the study population, no difference was observed in clinical outcomes. The referral system and test results should be reviewed, since the main causes of delay were related to the system.

The Impact

Purpose The purpose of the study is to investigate the feasibility of investing the religious heritage in anti-corruption efforts in public organizations in Palestine. The study sought to measure the current status of public organizations, if they are investing the religious heritage in the efforts of encountering corruption. Further, the study sought to measure the attitudes and future expectations if there is an integration of the religious heritage in the current anti-corruption efforts. Design/methodology/approach This study combines two folds: First, theoretical and qualitative, through research in previous studies, texts and religious attitude of corruption, historical models and international experiences that have tried to invest in it and incorporate it in anti-corruption efforts, which are generalizable generic models; and the second: a field empirical part, through the researcher use of a questionnaire tool and analyzing it statistically, in addition to ensuring the possibility of using religion in anti-corruption efforts within the Palestinian public institutions which will eventually enable us to answer the study questions. Findings The study found that the reality of investment in the religious heritage in anti-corruption efforts in the Palestinian public sector is present in a moderate degree (56.8%), both in rules and regulations, in strategic plans or policies, or in the internal systems and the organizational culture of the public institutions. With regard to the attitudes of the employees toward corruption and the way of their formulation to these attitudes either if they are influenced by the religious heritage or the law or by the eight reasons mentioned previously in this study, it is obvious that the employees attitudes toward corruption are formulated first from a religious perspectives and second from a legal perspective. Regarding their attitudes and their agreement level toward the investment of the religious heritage in anti-corruption in the Palestinian public sector was high (75.9%), as well as their future expectations in case the religious heritage is invested in anti-corruption efforts was in a high degree (74.1%). Therefore, the authors conclude that there is a feasibility of religious heritage investment in anti-corruption efforts in the Palestinian public sector in case it is accredited and integrated in anti-corruption strategies as a supportive factor but not as a substitute of other efforts. The study recommended that decision makers should adopt new anti-corruption policies and strategies compatible with these striking results through the rules, regulations and administrative decisions, or in the internal institutional system and the cultural organization, in the publications and declarations of the public institution, in special code of conduct based on the religious heritage, in the training of the employees and designing new proposals to integrate the religious heritage in anti-corruption efforts in parallel with the permanent evaluation of these efforts after its application. Originality/value This study, The feasibility of investing in religious heritage in anti-corruption efforts, is different from the previously reviewed studies, as the previous studies were either philosophical or theoretical in nature, looking at the relationship between religion and corruption or empirical, but in a different environment and society than the society of this study. The general purpose of this research is to identify the impact of religious perceptions on corruption in the behavior of public officials in the Palestinian public sector as it is on the ground, and whether their attitudes were affected by corruption with their religious beliefs? Do they welcome the investment of religion in the fight against corruption and what are their expectations if this is done in institutional, strategic or policy context.

In heparin therapy different schedules for safe and effective treatment have been advocated,but they are not based on firm knowledge of the pharmacokinetics of heparin. We report on the application of two tests (diluted APTT test according to Marder and anti-Xa assay according to Yin) to the study of the pharmacokinetics of the anticoagulant effect of four commercially available brands of heparin. The drug was administered as a single large bolus or by continuous infusion. In contrary to reported pharmacokinetics a non exponential disappearance was observed after single dosis administration. Continuous infusion allowed a mathematical description of elimination of heparin activity,in which two mechanisms could be demonstrated. Pirstly, a mechanism which is saturable and eliminates heparin activity at low levels at a high rate. Secondly, a mechanism which is linearly related to heparin activity. Studies carried out on the elimination of 35S heparin showed that the disappearance of the radioactivity differed from that of the anticoagulant effect. Binding studies with an antibody directed against antithrombin III which was insolubilized on Sepharose 4B showed a close relationship between the disappearance of that part of the radiolabel that bound to the Sepharose-antibody complex and the disappearance of the anticoagulant effect.

The Relationship

Abstract A preliminary comparison of plasticity readings by the Mooney and Williams parallel-plate plastometers shows that, for stocks of similar type, the two readings are closely related, but the relationship is different for different types of stocks, being dependent on the value of the exponent n in the plastic flow equation. Following up a previous conclusion (Reports No. 205 and 216) that the lack of a close relationship between plasticity figures obtained by the Mooney and parallel-plate instruments is due to the former giving a much higher rate of shear, it is now found that parallel-plate values obtained under conditions that give high shear-rates agree much better with Mooney values than do those obtained under the usual (low rate of shear) conditions. In the parallel-plate test a high rate of shear can be obtained by taking readings after a short compression period, by increasing the compressive force, or by reducing the volume of the specimen. These results thus suggest that the parallel-plate test, operated under appropriate conditions, might be made a satisfactory alternative to the Mooney test.

Abstract:Introduction: The goal of treatment for clubfoot is to achieve a pain-free, plantigrade foot that allows walking comfortably with normal shoes.The aim of the study was to assess the relapse rate after having achieved correction of the deformity in patients with clubfoot treated with the Ilizarov method and to analyze associated prognostic factors.Material and method: In a retrospective cohort study of prognostic factors we evaluated 48 patients, 70 feet, treated with the Ilizarov method between 1988 and 2006.Patients in whom correction of the deformity with the external fixator failed (residual deformity or incomplete correction) were excluded from the study. The study variable was relapse.Results: Etiology was idiopathic in 77% of 70 feet. Only 18 feet had not been treated previously. All patients were children. Mean age at surgery was 7.9 years. The patients were divided into three groups according to the treatment with the Ilizarov fixator alone (40%), in combination with soft-tissue release (38%), or associated with osteotomies (21%).Mean post-operative follow-up was 10.6 years (range: 5.5-22 years).Outcome was poor in 71% of the feet, which relapsed after a mean of 38 months, requiring additional surgeries to achieve a plantigrade foot.Summary: The present is a large series of neglected or relapsed clubfeet treated with the Ilizarov method with good initial results, but a high rate of recurrence of the deformity after a long follow-up period (71%). We did not find statistically significant differences among the subgroups comparing age, diagnosis, previous treatments, and associated procedures and no prognostic factors for relapse could be identified.Currently, we do not consider the Ilizarov method the technique of choice for the treatment of neglected or relapsed clubfoot as our results were not very promising.

Creating dihaploid lines of agricultural plants is a labour-intensive but essential step in variety production in modern plant breeding. This stage allows significantly accelerate the process of creating new varieties of common barley and other crops. Barley digaploids are produced mainly by anther culture and microspore culture. The authors preferred anther culture in vitro. In the present study, the influence of climatic factors in the cultivation of donor plants on the yield of productive anthers at different sowing dates was established. The authors also identified the more stable culti- vars with a high anther production regardless of sowing date (Signal, Laureate and Eifel). Varieties showed the highest number of embryo-like structures formation at the first and third sowing dates (Zu Suren, Zu Zaza); and sorts with a high rate of productive anther formation at the second sowing date (Acha, Exploer) were identified. Different concentrations of 2,4-D in N6 medium on the frequency of embryogenesis and yield of productive anthers were studied. As a result of this study, the authors found that different concentrations of 2,4-D (1 mg/l and two mg/l) had no significant effect on the for- mation frequency of productive anthers in all the varieties studied. When the embryogenesis capacity of the cultivars was reviewed, all the samples were found to be positive in anther culture. However, the array Zu Suren had a significantly lower effective anthers yield than the samples Signal and Acha. As a result of correlation analysis, the authors found a close relationship between the length of the ear tube of donor plants and the frequency of formation of productive anthers (r = -0.69). A close relationship with the development of optimal microspore phase for the induction of androgenesis in anthers extracted from the ear tube with an average length of 6 cm was determined. This information can significantly speed up the selection of donor plants, but it is recommended to confirm the stage of microspore development microscopically for each new cultivar used.

This paper contains an analysis of the importance of teaching and research activities at the University of Sonora (UNISON), from the academic perspective. During 2007 the survey "Reconfiguration of Academic Profession in Mexico" (RPAM) was applied on a representative sample of full-time teachers of UNISON, public higher institution which happens to be one of the most important universities of northwestern México. The academic features of both teaching and research were considered separately, and then sought for some relations between these two activities, to finally make a comparative analysis with the national survey results. The UNISON faculty is mainly composed by adulthood (51.8 years average), labor experienced (23 years in working place) and a high rate in educational levels: 20.2 % bachelor degree, 53.2% master, 26.5% doctorate). The presence of academic women throws a 33% of faculty, lower than the average shown by the national survey (37%). Given the classification scheme proposed in this paper, it was possible to clearly identify four types of scholars which set a pattern that might be present in other public state institutions of the country, this according to the differential importance assigned to the various activities, roles and responsibilities that make up academic work.
