ABSTRACT

La vinculación entre las desigualdades socioeconómicas y sus consecuencias en el estado desalud es tan evidente que ha constituido uno de los principales orígenes de la salud pública moderna.De todos los factores socioeconómicos que contribuyen al estado de salud del individuo, el principalfactor negativo es la pobreza; es causa de enfermedad, y la propia enfermedad causa mayor pobreza,por lo tanto, mejorar la salud de una población equivale a mejorar su situación social y económica.Por otro lado, los patrones de desigualdad no se reproducen sólo a nivel global, entre países desarrolladosy en desarrollo, sino también entre países con niveles socioeconómicos similares, y en los distintosgrupos sociales de cada país, región o ciudad. Por tanto, las políticas sanitarias se deberían enfocar adisminuir estas diferencias y lograr una mayor equidad en salud


The connection between socioeconomic inequalities and their consequences on health status is soclear that it has become one of the main origins of modern Public Health. Of all the socioeconomicfactors that contribute to the individual health status, the principal negative factor is poverty. It is thecause of illness and the illness itself causes a greater poverty.Therefore, when health in a populationis improved, this is equivalent to an improvement in their social and economic situation. On the otherhand, not only the inequality patterns occur at the global level, between developed countries anddeveloping countries, but also between countries with similar socioeconomic status, and between differentsocial groups of each country, region or city. Therefore, health policies should be focused onreducing these differences and achieving higher health equity (AU)

ABSTRACT

En un período de creciente consumo de bebidas alcohólicas y de crecientes daños producidos por el alcohol en el Reino Unido se produce un conflicto entre el actual enfoque de la política del alcohol por parte del gobierno británico y los principios preventivos compartidos por la mayoría de la comunidad científica internacional. Este conflicto representa una confrontación general en Europa entre la ideología del mercado único y la estrategia de restricción que conviene al enfoque de la salud pública. Sin embargo, desde la perspectiva europea deben tomarse en consideración otros factores: las diferencias en las formas de beber que difieren según los países y las culturas; la efectividad de las políticas preventivas; el dilema entre prohibir y permitir


In a period of increased consumption of alcoholic beverages and of increased alcohol related harm, a conflict occurs in United Kingdom between the present British government`s alcohol policy approach and the prevention principles shared by the majority of the international scientific community. This conflict represents a general confrontation in Europe between the single market ideology and the restriction strategy appropriate to the public health approach. However, from the European perspective other factors have to be taken into consideration: the differences in drinking patterns that may differ according to countries and cultures; the effectiveness of preventive policies; the dilemma between prohibiting and permitting

ABSTRACT

La mayor parte de la población del mundo (el 58 %) pasa un tercio de su vida adulta en el trabajo. El ambiente de trabajo puede tener un impacto positivo o negativo sobre la salud y el bienestar. Los accidentes laborales, los riesgos ergonómicos y psicosociales, pueden y deben ser prevenidos. Este tipo de acciones son necesarias a un nivel internacional, regional, nacional y empresarial. Este artículo se focaliza en el desarrollo de la Salud Laboral en la República Popular China y en algunas cuestiones sobre si la globalización acelera y mejora este proceso. El objetivo de este artículo no es capturar todos los aspectos relevantes de la salud laboral a niveles técnicos, médicos y psicológicos, se centra más en proporcionar una descripción sobre la historia y la panorámica de la situación actual de la salud laboral en la Republica Popular China, en comparación con la situación de la salud laboral en regiones totalmente desarrolladas (p. Ej. Europa) y con la situación global, respectivamente


Most of the world's population (58%) spend one-third of their adult life at work. The work environment may have either a positive or hazardous impact on health and well-being. Work-related accidents and ill-health can and indeed must be prevented and that action is needed at international, regional, national and enterprise levels. This paper focuses on the development of occupational health in the People's Republic of China and questions if globalization accelerates and improves this process. It is not intended to capture all relevant aspects like technical, medical and psychological details of occupational health but to provide an overview about the history and a snap-shot of the current health situation in the People's Republic of China and to contrast it to occupational health in fully developed regions (i.e. European Region) and to the global situation respectively

ABSTRACT

Las revistas con revisión por partes constituye una de las bases de la comunicación del conocimiento científico. Las publicaciones científicas con selección por pares tardan meses o años en ver la luz, el número de revistas se ha incrementado y el coste de las subscripciones es gravoso para las entidades públicas y privadas. El proceso de difusión científica está en curso de profundos cambios por el vehículo de la comunicación y por la accesibilidad de la información. Internet es un potente medio de comunicación inmediata del conocimiento sin fronteras que puede transformas el desarrollo científico, sustituir las formas tradicionales de intercambio de conocimiento (revistas, congresos, etc). Sin embargo, todavía es difícil distinguir las fuentes de conocimiento fiables de otra de dudosa calidad


The peer-review journals represent a major element concerning the scientific knowledge communication. Publication of results in peer-reviewed journals typically takes or mores, the number of journal grew during the last years, and the subscription cost is critical for many private and public institutions. The Internet, the largest network of connected computers, provides immediate, dynamic, and downloadable information. The audience is broader than that for peer-reviewed journals, and will include scientists as well as the educated public. The publication on Internet is a new option for scientific communication. However, it becomes important to distinguish credible from less reliable ones

ABSTRACT

The advent of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) has reminded health care providers worldwide that disease and ill health recognize no borders, that we are vulnerable and that we must maintain constant vigilance in health all over the world. It has also stimulated some of the best international cooperation in medicine and nursing that I can remember, the lessons from which I hope we will apply in other areas. In our different countries, we celebrate the different cultural, political and economic systems, but I am not certain we should celebrate the difference in standards of health that exist in the world today. I believe that nursing has a duty to all humanity regardless of borders, legal systems and economic and political differences. However, I believe that there are danger signs in the international nursing environment at the moment.
