Construir en nuestros tiempos requiere de una gestión eficiente y competitiva. En
ese sentido, casi todas las empresas dedicadas al rubro de la construcción son
conocedoras de la importancia de la planificación, y es justamente allí donde surge la necesidad de prever y anticiparse a los hechos que puedan ir en contra del buen desenvolvimiento de sus proyectos, ya sea en la etapa de concepción, diseño, construcción o en su puesta en uso. Sin embargo, una buena planificación no necesariamente asegura el éxito de un proyecto. Existen riesgos e incertidumbres asociados a los diversos procesos que se presentan en todas las etapas del proyecto, cuyas consecuencias, sean positivas o negativas, se manifiestan en gran magnitud durante la etapa de construcción. Desde esta óptica, se puede afirmar que los proyectos mal concebidos o mal diseñados presentan riesgos e incertidumbres con mayor frecuencia, los cuales deben ser controlados o evitados con una adecuada Gestión de Riesgos.

Why Some Publishers are Requiring ORCID iDs for Authors: An Interview with Stuart Taylor, The Royal Society
On December 7 2015 The Royal Society announced that, from January 1 2016, it would require all corresponding authors submitting papers to its journals to provide an Open Researcher and Contributor identifier (ORCID iD). In an open letter published today, seven other publishers – the American Geophysical Union (AGU), eLife, EMBO, Hindawi, theInstitute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), PLOS, andScience – joined them, committing to requiring ORCID iDs in their publication process during 2016.

The Network Model of Publishing
It’s easy to overlook the fact that print and digital are not simply formats but entire ecosystems as well. For those of us who labor in the mines of STM journals, this oversight is understandable, as we can be lulled (asphyxiated?) into believing that all the world is digital, artifacts of “print consciousness” notwithstanding (e.g., the PDF, the version of record). (Yes, print consciousness may be the topic of a forthcoming post.) If print and digital did not in fact represent entire ecosystems, when digital products came along they would have just been slotted into the place that print once occupied. But we know that is not what happened.

Mass media influence and risk of developing eating disorders in female students from Lima, Peru
Introduction. Eating disorders (EDs) are a public
health problem, and their relationship to mass
media is still controversial.
Objective. To assess whether there is an association
between models of body image shown in mass
media and the risk of developing EDs among
female adolescent students from Lima, Peru.
Methodology. Cross-sectional study conducted in
three schools located in the district of La Victoria,
Lima, Peru. The risk of developing EDs was
measured using the Eating Attitudes Test-26
(EAT-26), while mass media influence was
measured using the Sociocultural Attitudes
Towards Appearance Questionnaire-3
(SATAQ-3), which was categorized into tertiles
both in the overall score and its subscales
(information, pressure, general internalization,
and athletic internalization). Adjusted prevalence
ratios (aPR) for EDs were estimated.
Results. Four hundred and eighty-three students
were included, their median age was 14 ± 3 years
old. A risk of developing an ED was observed
in 13.9% of them. Students who are more
influenced by mass media (upper tertile of the
SATAQ-3) have a higher probability of having a
risk of developingan ED (aPR: 4.24; 95% confidence
interval [CI]: 2.10-8.56), as well as those who have
a greater access to information (PR: 1.89; 95% CI:
1.09-3.25), suffer more pressure (PR: 4.97; 95% CI:
2.31-10.69), show a greater general internalization
(PR: 5.00; 95% CI: 2.39-10.43), and show a greater
level of athletic internalization (PR: 4.35; 95%
CI: 2.19-8-66).
Conclusion.The greater the influence of mass
media, the greater the probability of having a
risk of developing an ED among female students
from Lima, Peru.
