    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).

    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.

  • 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.
