EL AUMENTO DE LA POBLACIÓN MAYOR DE 60 AÑOS A NIVEL MUNDIAL ES ALGO QUE SE EVIDENCIA EN CHILE. SEGÚN CIFRAS DEL ÚLTIMO CENSO DE POBLACIÓN CHILENA (2017), EXISTEN MÁS DE DOS MILLONES DE PERSONAS MAYORES DE 65 AÑOS, LO CUAL REPRESENTA UN 11,4% DE LOS HABITANTES DEL PAÍS. POR TANTO, EL ENVEJECIMIENTO ACTIVO ES ALGO FUNDAMENTAL PARA PROMOVER LA CALIDAD DE VIDA A MEDIDA QUE SE ENVEJECE, AMINORANDO LOS EFECTOS NEGATIVOS DEL ENVEJECIMIENTO. OBJETIVO: CONOCER LA CALIDAD DE VIDA AUTOPERCIBIDA Y LA FRECUENCIA DE ACTIVIDAD FÍSICA GRUPAL DE ADULTOS MAYORES QUE PERTENECEN A AGRUPACIONES GUIADAS POR MONITORAS COMUNITARIAS DE LA COMUNA DE CHILLÁN. RESULTADOS Y CONCLUSIONES: A MAYOR EDAD, MAYOR PUNTAJE PROMEDIO EN CALIDAD DE VIDA EN 4 DE LAS 5 ÁREAS ESTUDIADAS, SIENDO LAS PERSONAS MAYORES DE 80 AÑOS QUIENES OBTUVIERON LOS MAYORES PUNTAJES PROMEDIO. SIN EMBARGO, EL ÁREA CALIDAD DE VIDA GENERAL Y FÍSICA NO DESTACA POR LOS PUNTAJES PROMEDIO OBTENIDOS, SALVO EN LAS PERSONAS QUE REALIZAN ACTIVIDAD FÍSICA TRES VECES POR SEMANA.

THE PERCEPTION OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AS A RESEARCH TOPIC HAS BEEN CONSIDERED TO ADDRESS VARIOUS PROBLEMS THAT ARISE IN SOCIETY. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE SOCIAL ROLE THAT HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS HAVE WITH THE COMMUNITY IN GENERAL IS UNAVOIDABLE, WHICH HAS MOTIVATED ITS STUDY FROM VARIOUS APPROACHES AND AREAS OF APPLICATION. THIS RESEARCH CONSIDERS THE EXPLORATION OF THE PERCEPTION OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF HEALTH WORKERS, FOR WHICH A QUESTIONNAIRE WAS APPLIED TO THEN MAKE AN EXPLORATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS AND AN ANALYSIS OF MEAN DIFFERENCES. THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THERE ARE FOUR DIMENSIONS: ETHICAL DISCERNMENT, COMMUNITY, ENVIRONMENT AND IMAGINATION ABOUT SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY, THAT BUILD THE CONCEPT OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE HEALTH SECTOR. SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES ARE FOUND IN PRACTICES RELATED TO THE COMMUNITY, ENVIRONMENT AND IMAGINARY DIMENSIONS OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

THIS STUDY CONDUCTED A COST ANALYSIS OF DIFFERENT INTERVENTIONS IN THE EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF HYDATIDOSIS BETWEEN THE YEARS 2006 -2007 IN THE PROVINCE OF NUBLE, BIO-BIO REGION OF CHILE. THE AIM WAS TO ESTIMATE THE COSTS OF EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF THIS CONDITION. WE INCLUDED ALL CHILDREN OF 5 AND 12 YEARS OLD IN RURAL AREAS OF THE PROVINCE. DATA COLLECTION ACTIVITIES WERE IDENTIFIED WHICH INCLUDED SPECIFIC ANTIBODY MEASUREMENTS (INDIRECT ELISA) AND AN ABDOMINAL ULTRASOUND. FOR THE DETERMINATION OF COSTS, DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS WERE IDENTIFIED USING THE METHODOLOGY OF ACTIVITY-BASED COSTS. THE RESULTS DEMONSTRATE THAT THE PREVENTIVE DIAGNOSIS COSTS S17.183 CHILEAN PESOS PER CHILD (S35 US DOLLARS), THUS MAKING THIS INTERVENTION OF LOWER COST THAN WAITING UNTIL THE PERSON BECOMES ILL WITH THIS DISEASE.

EL PROBLEMA QUE SE PRESENTA EN LA ATENCIÓN DE SALUD EN LOS HOSPITALES PÚBLICOS ES LA ALTA CANTIDAD DE PACIENTES, GENERANDO UN SOSTENIDO CRECIMIENTO EN LAS LISTAS DE ESPERA Y PROVOCANDO UN AUMENTO DEL TIEMPO DE ESPERA, GENERANDO UN IMPACTO NEGATIVO EN LOS USUARIOS. OBJETIVO: MEJORAR EL PROCESO CLÍNICO DE ATENCIÓN DEL PROLAPSO DE ÓRGANOS PÉLVICOS DE UN HOSPITAL PÚBLICO CHILENO. METODOLOGÍA: SE IDENTIFICAN NUDOS CRÍTICOS MEDIANTE DIAGRAMAS DE FLUJO, REALIZANDO UN DIAGNÓSTICO DEL PROCESO DESDE EL INGRESO DEL PACIENTE HASTA SU ALTA DEL HOSPITAL. RESULTADOS: SE IDENTIFICAN CADA UNO DE LOS PUNTOS CRÍTICOS Y SE PROPONEN SOLUCIONES PARA AGILIZAR EL PROCESO Y CON ELLO MEJORAR LA ATENCIÓN A LAS USUARIAS, LO QUE EN DEFINITIVA LLEVÓ A UNA DISMINUCIÓN DEL TIEMPO DE ESPERA Y, LO MÁS RELEVANTE, A UNA DISMINUCIÓN EN LA CANTIDAD DE PERSONAS EN LA LISTA DE ESPERA.

THE PENSION SYSTEM IN CHILE IS OPERATED BY PRIVATE ENTITIES, CALLED AFP, TO WHICH EVERY WORKER MUST CONTRIBUTE 10% OF THEIR INCOME ON MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL SAVINGS PLANS FOR RETIREMENT PLUS A VARIABLE FEE TO THE DIRECT BENEFIT OF THE AFP. ON THE OTHER HAND, THE EMPLOYER QUOTES A PERCENTAGE OF WORKER?S COMPENSATION INSURANCE TO FUND DISABILITY AND SURVIVORS THROUGH THE AFP ITSELF. THE AFFILIATE CAN FREELY CHOOSE THE FUND THAT WILL INTEGRATE ITS INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTION, AS THE LEVEL OF RISK TO TAKE AND THE EXPECTED RETURN TO BE OBTAINED, AMONG THE FIVE AVAILABLE FUNDS. IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE AFP ACHIEVES THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE RETURN TO THEIR MEMBERS WITH THE COMMISSION CHARGED BY YOUR MANAGEMENT, BUT ACCORDING TO THE RESULTS OBTAINED, THERE IS NO EVIDENCE FOUND TO SAY CONCLUSIVELY THAT THE COMMISSIONS INFLUENCE THE BEHAVIOR OF THE INCOME OF THE VARIOUS FUNDS.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CORPORATE GROWTH STRATEGY (DIVERSIFICATION VERSUS CONCENTRATION) AND CORPORATE PROFIT IS THE ISSUE THAT HAS PROBABLY GARNERED MOST ATTENTION IN THE FIELD OF RESEARCH ON STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT, BUT IT IS ALSO ONE WHERE EVIDENCE IS DISPARATE AND INCONCLUSIVE. HENEE, THIS ARTICLE FOCUSES ON PROVIDING A NEW BACKGROUND TO THIS DISCUSSION, BY MAKING A COMPARISON TO DETERMINE WHICH GROWTH STRATEGY YIELDS BETTER PERFORMANCE AND PROFITABILITY. TO THIS END, THE STUDY CONCENTRATED ON THE ANALYSIS OF 38 CHILEAN ECONOMIC GROUPS SELECTED BY SIMPLE RANDOM SAMPLING. THE MAIN RESULT OF THIS RESEARCH STUDY IS THAT CONCENTRATED ECONOMIC GROUPS ACHIEVE INCREASED PROFITABILITY AND PERFORMANCE AS COMPARED WITH DIVERSIFIED GROUPS, BUT HA VE A GREATER VARIATION IN THEIR PROFIT.

ONE OF THE MOST STRIKING ISSUES IN STRATEGY RESEARCH IS TO STUDY THE WAY IN WHICH COMPANIES FACE THE GROWING CORPORATE MARKET, EITHER THROUGH A DIVERSIFICATION STRATEGY OR A CONCENTRATION ONE. THERE IS A WIDE VARIETY OF PUBLICATIONS ON THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE, WHERE SOME AUTHORS ESTABLISH THE PREEMINENCE OF DIVERSIFICATION OVER CONCENTRATION, THOUGH SOME OTHER AUTHORS COME TO THE OPPOSITE CONCLUSION. THIS DIVERSITY OF RESULTS FROM THE STUDY OF MARKET STRATEGIES IS A STRONG REASON TO CONTINUE RESEARCH ON THE SUBJECT. FOR SUCH REASON, THE CENTRAL OBJECTIVE OF THIS PAPER IS TO PRESENT THE RESULTS OBTAINED IN THE INVESTIGATION OF THE CORPORATE MARKET GROWTH STRATEGIES-EITHER DIVERSIFIED OR CONCENTRATED-MOST HEAVILY USED BY CHILEAN CORPORATIONS TODAY. THE MAIN RESULTS OBTAINED FROM A RANDOM SAMPLE OF COMPANIES, IS THAT THE MOST USED STRATEGY BY CHILEAN CORPORATIONS IS THE CONCENTRATION STRATEGY WITH SPECIALIZED BUSINESS, OVER THE DIVERSIICATION ONE.

OBJECTIVE: TO IDENTIFY EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES TO INCREASE THE CONSUMPTION OF THE PRODUCT PURITA MAMA N PREGNANT AND LACTATING WOMEN FROM ÑUBLE. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: OBSERVATIONAL CROSS SECTIONAL STUDY; TWO INSTRUMENTS WERE APPLIED, THE FIRST ONE OBSERVING OF CONSUMPTION AND ACCEPTABILITY OF THE PRODUCT IN PREGNANT AND LACTATING WOMEN FROM A NON-PROBABILISTIC SAMPLE; THE SECOND ONE APPLIED TO THE HEALTH TEAM SHOWING MAJOR VARIATIONS IN THE CONSUMPTION FROM A NON-PROBABILISTIC """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""INTENTIONAL"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" SAMPLE. RESULTS: THE PRODUCT WAS CONSUMED BY 38% OF PREGNANT AND 34.6% OF LACTATING WOMEN; ACCEPTABILITY WAS REGULAR IN 54.6% AND 48.2% OF PREGNANT AND LACTATING WOMEN, RESPECTIVELY. ON THE OTHER HAND, 34% OF THE PROFESSIONALS AND TECHNICIANS WHO WORK DIRECTLY WITH PREGNANT AND LACTATING WOMEN """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""DID NOT KNOW"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" THE PRODUCT. THE MAIN EFFECTIVE EDUCATIONAL STRATEGY IMPLEMENTED (60.2%), IS PRODUCT TASTING. CONCLUSION: THE LARGEST CONSUMPTION OF THE PRODUCT IS SEEN IN THOSE ESTABLISHMENTS WHO IMPLEMENT EFFECTIVE INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES.

EL ACERVO DE INVESTIGACIONES SOBRE RESPONSABILIDAD EMPRESARIAL HA DEMOSTRADO LO IMPORTANTE QUE ES PARA LAS ORGANIZACIONES IMPLEMENTAR ACCIONES QUE BENEFICIAN A LOS GRUPOS DE INTERÉS, PRODUCTO DE UN CAMBIO DE PARADIGMA, EN CUANTO A LA GESTIÓN DE UNA EMPRESA. A CONTINUACIÓN, SE PRESENTA UNA PROPUESTA DE MODELO DE GESTIÓN EMPRESARIAL INTEGRAL DE RESPONSABILIDAD EMPRESARIAL, QUE ES PRODUCTO DE UNA REVISIÓN DE DIVERSOS MODELOS DE GESTIÓN RESPONSABLE, EN DONDE LA PROPUESTA CONSIDERA LA IMPLEMENTACIÓN DEL GOBIERNO CORPORATIVO DE LAS COMPAÑÍAS.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND DIVERSIFICATION OR CONCENTRATION IS A VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC. IN THIS CONTEXT, THIS ARTICLE PRESENTS THE EVIDENCE OBTAINED BY COMPARING THE YIELD OF 82 CHILEAN CORPORATIONS, SELECTED AT RANDOM, WITH THEIR CONCENTRATION OR DIVERSIFICATION STRATEGY. THE METHODOLOGY INVOLVED THE CLASSIFICATION OF STRATEGIES BY A MATRIX BASED ON THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARD INDUSTRIAL CODE (ISIC) OF CHILE, AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DU PONT METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE OUTCOME. THE MAIN EVIDENCE IS THAT MOST COMPANIES ARE CONCENTRATED, BUT COMPANIES WITH ASSOCIATED DIVERSIFICATION STRATEGY GAINED A GREATER AVERAGE YIELD THAN CONCENTRATED COMPANIES AND COMPANIES WITH AN UNRELATED DIVERSIFICATION STRATEGY.
