Factors Associated with Nutritional Status in Grassroots Recyclers in Ecuador
Grassroots recyclers play a fundamental role in solid waste management in Ecuador; however, they often work under precarious conditions that may compromise their health. This study aimed to identify factors associated with nutritional status, operationalized as the presence or absence of nutritional alterations, among grassroots recyclers through supervised machine learning approaches. Data from 303 recyclers from three Ecuadorian cities (Cuenca,…
Mujeres recicladoras en el espacio público
A nivel mundial, millones de recicladoras de base viven en condiciones precarias y son excluidas del espacio público, a pesar de que su trabajo es esencial para la sostenibilidad en el contexto actual de crisis ambiental. Esta investigación utilizó un enfoque de métodos mixtos para conocer las condiciones de vida y trabajo de las mujeres que reciclan en las calles de una ciudad intermedia, enfrentando problemáticas extremas laborales y sociales. …
Negotiating space
In many cities across Latin America, Africa, and South Asia, informal women waste pickers play a crucial role in managing recyclable waste, reducing municipal costs and urban carbon footprints. Despite their contributions, limited attention to their mobility patterns reflects the low priority governments, academia and society assign to understanding their particular needs, hindering the development of inclusive policies and innovative methodologi…
A mí déjenme ser libre
El presente artículo estudia la experiencia laboral de mujeres recicladoras en Ecuador, explorando sus percepciones e ilusiones en torno a la noción de trabajo. Con ello buscamos comprender cómo negocian su lugar en sistemas más amplios de desigualdad y discriminación. Basados en estudios antropológicos sobre trabajo marginal y a partir de una investigación etnográfica multisituada de cerca de seis meses, identificamos una mirada particular en el…
Assessment of Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Conditions in Public Elementary Schools in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala, in the Context of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services in schools are essential to reduce infectious disease transmission, including that of COVID-19. This study aimed to establish a baseline of WASH services in six public elementary schools in Guatemala, with a focus on hand hygiene. We used the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) report indicators to assess the WASH infrastructure at each school. We collected water samples from easily accessibl…
Role of Self-Sampling for Cervical Cancer Screening
This study shows that vaginal and urine self-sampling methods have similar sensitivity and specificity compared with clinician sampling for the diagnosis of HPV. The correlation between HPV genotypes among the three tests is satisfactory
Seroprevalence of Sars-CoV-2 Infection and Adherence to Preventive Measures in Cuenca, Ecuador, October 2020, a Cross-Sectional Study
A door-to-door survey was organised in Cuenca, Ecuador, to determine the prevalence of COVID-19 infection and adherence of the population to COVID-19 preventive measures. A total of 2457 persons participated in the study; 584 (23.7%) reported having experienced at least one flu-like symptom since the onset of the pandemic. The maximum SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence in Cuenca was 13.2% (CI: 12-14.6%) (IgM or IgG positive). Considering PCR confirmed inf…
