Resumen: La imagen de una institución de educación superior (IES) es considerada como un elemento estratégico para proyectar y dar a conocer los valores, las acciones, y en últimas, la razón de ser de la entidad respectiva. Por ello, algunas instituciones educativas se han inclinado por adentrase en un proceso de transformación de imagen en aras de posicionarse de mejor manera y lograr proyectar a sus stakeholders lo que realmente se desea. El presente trabajo tiene como propósito desarrollar, de manera preliminar, una revision sistemática de literatura sobre el tema de imagen y transformación de imagen institucional, haciendo especial énfasis en IES. Igualmente, se incluyen algunos conceptos relevantes relacionados con el tópico estudiado, así como los puntos de vista de algunos autores especializados en el área de estudio. En ese orden de ideas, el trabajo pretende ser un referente teórico inicial para eventuales evaluaciones de cambio o fortalecimiento de imagen de IES o sus unidades institucionales. Adicionalmente, permite soportar otros mecanismos de valoración para posibilitar la toma de decisiones relacionadas con la medición y el cuidado de la imagen institucional. Abstract: The image of a higher education institution (HEI) is considered as a strategic element to project and publicize the values, actions, and ultimately, the reason for being of the respective entity. For this reason, some educational institutions have been inclined to enter into a process of image transformation in order to position themselves in a better way and manage to project what is really desired to their stakeholders. The purpose of this paper is to develop, in a preliminary way, a systematic review of the literature on the subject of image and transformation of institutional image, with special emphasis on HEIs. Likewise, some relevant concepts related to the topic studied are included, as well as the points of view of some authors specialized in the area of study. In that order of ideas, the work intends to be an initial theoretical reference for eventual evaluations of change or strengthening of the image of HEIs or their institutional units. Additionally, it supports other assessment mechanisms to enable decision-making related to the measurement and care of the institutional image.

Resumen: Las iniciativas socialmente responsables son generadoras indiscutibles de un mayor nivel de sentido de pertenencia de los empleados como miembros de una organización. Este fenómeno, a su vez impulsa resultados favorables en los niveles individual, grupal, organizacional e incluso institucional. El presente estudio analiza la asociación existente entre responsabilidad social empresarial e identificación organizacional de los empleados, con el objetivo de ilustrar el sentidopráctico de dicho vínculo causal. Para ello, se parte de un proceso preliminar de análisis bibliométrico y tamizaje cualitativo, que selecciona las conclusiones de trabajos empíricos influyentes en la literatura relevante con respecto al tópico en cuestión. Como consecuencia, el estudio converge en un decálogo de implicaciones útiles para gerentes y profesionales de recursos humanos que, en el terreno, determina los alcances de dicha relación en el ambiente organizacional real. De esta manera, se permite el aprovechamiento de las contribuciones teóricas relevantes en el área de estudio particular, y lo pone a disposición de la práctica gerencial. Abstract: Socially responsible initiatives are undisputed generators of a higher level of sense of belonging of employees as members of an organization. This phenomenon, in turn, promotes favorable results at the individual, group, organizational and even institutional level. The present work analyzes the association between corporate social responsibility and organizational identification of employees. It also illustrates the practical sense of such causal association. To achieve this, the work starts from a preliminary process of bibliometric analysis and screening, which selects the conclusions of influential empirical works in the relevant literature regarding the topic at issue. As a consecuence, the work converge in a decalogue of valuable implications for managers and human resources professionals, wichf in the field determines the scope of the abovementioned phenomenon in a regular organizational environment. In this way, the work allows the use of relevant theoretical contributions in the particular area of study and puts it a disposal of the managerial practice.

Abstract: The cell envelope is essential for the survival and adaptation of bacteria. Bacterial membrane proteins include the major porins that mediate the influx of nutrients and several classes of antimicrobial drugs. Consequently, membrane remodelling is closely linked to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Knowledge of bacterial membrane protein biogenesis and turnover underpins our understanding of bacterial membrane remodelling and the consequences that this process has in the evolution of AMR phenotypes. At the population level, the evolution of phenotypes is a reversible process, and we can use these insights to deploy evolutionary principles to resensitize bacteria to existing antimicrobial drugs. In our opinion, fundamental knowledge is opening a new way of thinking towards sustainable solutions to the mounting crisis in AMR. Here we discuss what is known about outer-membrane remodelling in bacteria and how the process could be targeted as a means to restore sensitivity to antimicrobial drugs. Bacteriophages are highlighted as a powerful means to exert this control over membrane remodelling but they require careful selection so as to reverse, and not exacerbate AMR phenotypes.

Abstract: Antibiotic resistance is driven by selection, but how a bacterial strain’s evolutionary history shapes drug-resistance remains an open question. Here we reconstruct the genetic and evolutionary mechanisms of carbapenem resistance in a clinical isolate of Klebsiella. A combination of short and long read sequencing, machine learning, genetic and enzymatic analyses established that this carbapenem-resistant strain carries no carbapenemase-encoding genes. Genetic reconstruction of the resistance phenotype confirmed that two distinct genetic loci are necessary for the strain to acquire carbapenem resistance. Experimental evolution of the carbapenem-resistant strains in growth conditions without the antibiotic revealed that both loci confer a significant cost, and are readily lost by de novo mutation resulting in the rapid evolution of a carbapenem-sensitive phenotype. Thus, historical contingency - a patient’s treatment history - can shape the evolution of antibiotic resistance and suggests that the strategic combinations of antibiotics could direct the evolution of low-fitness, drug-resistant genotypes.

Abstract: This qualitative research examines what sense of responsibility lower-ranking former perpetrators of paramilitary violence in Colombia elaborate in their confessional narratives for versiones libres, (freestatement hearings) a legal truth-seeking mechanism set in 2005 as part of a transitional justice process known as Justicia y Paz. Drawing from a critique against the confusion between ethical and judicial categories, this work assumes a relational-dialogical approach from where responsibility is understood as response-ability, or a person’s ability-to-respond. It looks into how an agent elaborates his responses in an attempt to connect not only with his criminal act (accountability) and with the transgressed norm, (imputability) but also with the individual(s) affected by their actions. The following questions guided this inquiry: 1) What responses were given by low-ranking ex-paramilitaries in judicial settings regarding their past actions? 2) What rationales for the violence perpetrated were included in those responses? And 3) What aspects may have influenced their confessions? A content analysis of a sample of versiones libres of four low-ranking former commanders was conducted, as well as qualitative interviews, and the observation of several sessions of the legal proceedings. Two themes were identified in their responses: 1) that all of them “just followed orders” from higher-ranking members of a chain of command; and 2) that they “believed too much” in local informants when planning and selecting the targets of their actions. Thus, they claim for themselves a higher-moral ground from where they question the terror perpetrated, yet their support to the paramilitary countersubversive cause is not confronted. This work contributes to the field of transitional justice in furthering an understanding of the psychosocial dimensions of post-conflict processes, and by shifting focus from high-level former perpetrators to the experiences of those with lower profiles who enacted the violence on the ground. Resumen: Esta investigación cualitativa examina cuál es el sentido de responsabilidad que elaboran antiguos miembros de bajo rango de los paramilitares en Colombia, como parte de sus narrativas confesionales durante las versiones libres, un mecanismo de justicia transitional implementado en 2005. A partir de una crítica a la confusión entre categorías éticas y judiciales, este trabajo asume un enfoque relacional-dialógico desde donde la responsabilidad se entiende como habilidad-para-responder. Así, se examina cómo un agente elabora su respuesta en un intento de conectarse no sólo con el acto criminal (en inglés, accountability) y con la ley transgredida (imputabilidad), sino también con los sujetos afectados por sus acciones. Las preguntas que guiaron este trabajo fueron: 1) ¿Cuáles fueron las respuestas que ex-paramilitares de bajo rango dieron por sus acciones criminales? 2) ¿Cuáles fueron las justificaciones por la violencia perpetrada que fueron incluidas en tales respuestas? Y 3) ¿Qué aspectos pueden haber influido sus confesiones? Es estudio incluyó un análisis de contenido de versiones libres de cuatro exparamilitares de bajo rango del Bloque Sur Putumayo, así como entrevistas cualitativas y la observación de varias versiones libres. Dos temas fueron identificados: 1) Que ellos sólo ""seguían órdenes"" de sus superiores, y 2) que ellos ""le creyeron mucho"" a informantes locales en la planeación de sus acciones. Así, los ex-paramilitares asumen un plano moral superior desde el que cuestionan el terror que perpetraron, pero desde el que no confrontan la ideología paramilitar que propició tales acciones. Esta investigación avanza en el entendimiento de las dimensiones psicosociales de la justicia transicional entre los ex-combatientes de bajo rango que ejecutaron acciones violentas masivas.
