  • CEPAL Review No
    What is life like for our elderly? An empirical study of the quality of life of older people in Colombia1 Bilver Adrián Astorquiza Bustos and Óscar Armando Chingal Abstract Life expectancy has increased considerably over the last 50 years; and population pyramids have inverted as the number of older people has grown. This study analyses the quality of life enjoyed by older people in nine of Colombia’s regions or departments, as rated in four categories: “Very good”, “Good”, “Fair” or “Poor”. It estimates an ordered multinomial logistic model using 20,720 observations taken from the 2018 National Quality of Life Survey, which altogether represent 3,914,448 individuals. The results suggest that the average probability of having a quality of life rated good is 80.2%, with variations between geographical areas and differences that are associated positively with being a woman, belonging to medium and high socioeconomic groups, not missing daily meals, having a home of one’s own home, not being affiliated to the subsidized social security regime and not feeling insecure or poor, among other factors. Keywords Ageing person, quality of life, social welfare, measurement, evaluation, population aspects, surveys, statistical methodology, econometric models, Colombia JEL classification J14, I31, C35, I10 Authors Bilver Adrián Astorquiza Bustos is a Professor and Research Fellow at the Faculty of Accounting, Economics and Administrative Sciences of the University of Manizales (Colombia). Email: [email protected]. Óscar Armando Chingal is a teacher at the Comfacauca University Corporation, at Santander de Quilichao (Colombia).

  • Our Physicians Are Supported by a Nurse, Hospice Aide, Chaplain, Social Worker and Volunteer
    1905 Holcombe Blvd. Houston, TX 77030 713-468-2441 houstonhospice.org [email protected] A member of the Texas Medical Center Our Physician Team Houston Hospice physicians are an integral part of the care team. Our team is different because we are a nonprofit organization. Our multidisciplinary teams work together, along with our patient’s primary physician to create a customized, all encompassing care plan. Our physicians are supported by a nurse, hospice aide, chaplain, social worker and volunteer. We believe that care for family and loved ones is as important as the care of the patient. Our mission is to provide uncompromising, compassionate end-of-life care to patients and families in our community. Our physician team is experienced to support and care for the patient and family. Focused on improving the quality of life of patients living with a serious illness, our physicians are dedicated to establishing a care plan for the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of patients and families in our care. Elizabeth Strauch, MD, FACP, FAAHPM Medical Director, Vice President for Medical Affairs Dr. Strauch received her undergraduate degree from Rice University and attended Baylor College of Medicine. She remained at Baylor for an Internal Medicine residency, and she subsequently completed a Hospice and Palliative Medicine fellowship at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and The Hospice at the Texas Medical Center. She was engaged as an Associate Medical Director for The Hospice at the TMC at the end of her fellowship in 1992. She became Vice President for Medical Affairs in 2000, and she continued in that role after the merger with Houston Hospice in 2002.

(incorporated under the laws of Colombia) Including in the form of American Depositary Shares This is the initial public offering of preferred shares of Cementos Argos S.A. (the ‘‘Preferred Shares’’). We are offering 182,000,000 Preferred Shares in a global offering, which consists of an international offering in the United States and other countries outside Colombia and a concurrent Colombian offering. These Preferred Shares are being offered directly or in the form of American depositary shares (the ‘‘ADSs’’ and together with the Preferred Shares, the ‘‘Offered Securities’’). Each ADS represents five Preferred Shares. The ADSs will be evidenced by American Depositary Receipts, or ADRs. The offering of the ADSs is being underwritten by the initial purchasers named in this offering memorandum.

  • Detection of Sociolinguistic Features in Digital Social Networks for the Detection of Communities
    Cognitive Computation https://doi.org/10.1007/s12559-021-09818-9 Detection of Sociolinguistic Features in Digital Social Networks for the Detection of Communities Edwin Puertas1,2 · Luis Gabriel Moreno‑Sandoval2 · Javier Redondo3 · Jorge Andres Alvarado‑Valencia2 · Alexandra Pomares‑Quimbaya2 Received: 13 March 2020 / Accepted: 5 January 2021 © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC part of Springer Nature 2021 Abstract The emergence of digital social networks has transformed society, social groups, and institutions in terms of the communi- cation and expression of their opinions. Determining how language variations allow the detection of communities, together with the relevance of specifc vocabulary (proposed by the National Council of Accreditation of Colombia (Consejo Nacional de Acreditación - CNA) to determine the quality evaluation parameters for universities in Colombia) in digital assemblages could lead to a better understanding of their dynamics and social foundations, thus resulting in better communication policies and intervention where necessary. The approach presented in this paper intends to determine what are the semantic spaces (sociolinguistic features) shared by social groups in digital social networks. It includes fve layers based on Design Science Research, which are integrated with Natural Language Processing techniques (NLP), Computational Linguistics (CL), and Artifcial Intelligence (AI). The approach is validated through a case study wherein the semantic values of a series of “Twit- ter” institutional accounts belonging to Colombian Universities are analyzed in terms of the 12 quality factors established by CNA. In addition, the topics and the sociolect used by diferent actors in the university communities are also analyzed. The current approach allows determining the sociolinguistic features of social groups in digital social networks.

Kevin invites you to visit his personal website at www.kcahillstudios.com. ii AEA Code of Professional Conduct Adopted April 20, 2018 The American Economic Association holds that principles of professional conduct should guide economists in academia, government, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector. The AEA’s founding purpose of “the encouragement of economic research” requires intellectual and professional integrity. Integrity demands honesty, care, and transparency in conducting and presenting research; disinterested assessment of ideas; acknowledgement of limits of expertise; and disclosure of real and perceived conflicts of interest. The AEA encourages the “perfect freedom of economic discussion.” This goal requires an environment where all can freely participate and where each idea is considered on its own merits. Economists have a professional obligation to conduct civil and respectful discourse in all forums, including those that allow confidential or anonymous participation.
