Circular economy for the management of disused tyre waste in Chongón - Guayaquil

Sonia Melissa Rodríguez Merchán — 2024-10-14

Scrap tyres can cause a severe environmental impact on the community. To describe the contribution of the circular economy model to the management of scrap tyre waste in Chongón - Guayaquil. Quantitative, descriptive, correlational study, using a survey of 20 vulcanisers in the parish of Chongón in the city of Guayaquil. A high level of reliability was obtained with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.883, as well as a significant correlation between the variables of waste management of scrap tyres and the circular economy model, with a bilateral sig. of <0.05. The disposal of scrap tyres causes severe environmental impacts in the parish of Chongón-Guayaquil, however, the application of an optimal waste management of these wastes, recycling and reusing them in the manufacture of other products, corresponds to the circular economy model, promoting economic development, sustainability and environmental protection.

Administration management in patient safety culture and barriers to adverse event reporting in the nursing profession

Fanny Isabel Arteaga Ortega — 2024-10-14

Patient safety is very important in the health field, and for this, parameters such as having quality in the service provided and guaranteeing primary care in an effective manner must be considered. The objective of this article is to know the aspects of the patient safety culture and the safety climate perceived by the nursing staff who work in the participating hospital. The methodology used is a descriptive, cross-sectional observational type; It will be observational because it is a specific type of study that is defined by having a statistical or demographic nature, where 46 health professionals were surveyed. In this investigation, it was identified that there is disagreement with the actions that are implemented, lack of supervision, lack of monitoring, strategies, reports, and high frequency of communication between professionals where the purpose is to provide patient safety and demonstrate all the notifications of adverse events and incidents.

Growth of the Omega 3 industry applied in non-surgical periodontal therapies in dental practitioners

Rosario Leonela Auqui Coronel — 2024-10-14

The aim of this systematic review is to recognise the effects of dietary supplementation of Omega 3 (fatty acids) as an adjuvant in non-surgical periodontal therapy in patients with periodontitis. In the present research work, a Systematic Review of Randomised Clinical Trials on the supplementary use of Omega 3 in the diet of patients with periodontitis was carried out. The guidelines of the CONSORT 2010 statement were followed using different search equations and previously selected articles. The results show the synthesis of 12 articles selected for this study, providing information such as author, year, journal and quartile classification, among other parameters such as blood biomarkers present and periodontal clinical parameters. In conclusion, the analysis of the efficacy of Omega-3 as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal therapy (NSPT) shows that, although improvements in clinical indicators such as calculus index (CIN), periodontal pocket depth and bleeding on probing are observed, the additional impact of Omega-3 has not been shown to be statistically significant. The variability in results may be due to differences in study designs, doses administered, and sample sizes, which limits the ability to establish a clear benefit of Omega-3 on these specific parameters.

Vehicle density and its impact on pavement wear in Guayaquil based on business development in port cities

Glenda Lorena Guadalupe Méndez — 2024-10-18

Increasing vehicle density in Guayaquil has raised concerns about its impact on the quality of road infrastructure, particularly on the wear and tear of asphalt pavement. This study aims to assess the relationship between vehicular traffic and pavement deterioration in the city, focusing on several areas with different levels of density. Counting cameras and traffic sensors were used to record the volume of vehicles, categorising them into light and heavy, as well as visual inspections to measure pavement wear. The results revealed that areas with high vehicle density had a higher degree of pavement deterioration, with a significant increase in cracking and cracking. The data show that heavy traffic is a major contributor to accelerated road wear, which in turn can impact road safety and public health by releasing more pollutants into the air.

Impact of asphalt pavement wear-based business development on air pollution in the city of Guayaquil

Glenda Lorena Guadalupe Méndez — 2024-10-18

The wear and tear of the asphalt pavement, caused by constant vehicular traffic, represents a relevant factor in air pollution in the city of Guayaquil. This phenomenon is especially worrying in areas of high vehicle density, where constant friction and the passage of heavy vehicles accelerate the deterioration of the asphalt. As the pavement wears down, polluting particles such as PM10 and PM2.5 are generated and released into the air, posing a considerable risk to public health. These particles, when inhaled, can penetrate deep into the lungs, causing respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
