This article presents a systematic review of sustainable watershed management at the international level. Based on the risk regulation approach, this review approaches the specific gaps in the literature related to relevant issues outlining the international freshwater resources socio-environmental regulation issue, especially in regards to its sociological dimensions: the organizational capabilities of agents involved in regulatory efforts, issue-implicit challenges, and regulatory effort-generated socio-environmental risks. The study identifies the reflexive components of the involved institutions, outlines the deployment of organizational processes in normative regulatory components, and explores the modalities for addressing change and complexity in the regulatory field. A corpus of 64 articles published in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases between 2021 and 2024 was analyzed, and the following findings are demonstrated: (1) regulatory requirements emerge across the three dimensions due to sociological factors, with the need for broad-ranging coordination capacities and socio-technical improvements highlighted, (2) while high political–technical capacities are exhibited by regulatory agents in the field of study, significant regulatory challenges persist, complicating the sustainable management of watersheds, and (3) decision-making based on socio-environmental risks is deemed feasible within the field of study, enabling advancements in techno-scientific and socio-political areas, although achieving this is considered challenging. It is concluded that sustainable watershed management can be better understood when the risk-based approach is used as an explanatory framework, particularly in priority areas for addressing—and regulating—the global and local dilemmas involved in governing water resources. As this field has been scarcely examined from this perspective, a series of potential research avenues with substantial scope are faced by the social sciences. Socio-environmental challenges related to water should be rigorously analyzed in future studies through innovative approaches, with the social components of the issue prioritized.

Los trastornos musculoesqueléticos (TME) son una lesión física originada por trauma acumulado, como resultado de repetidos esfuerzos sobre una parte específica del sistema musculoesquelético (SME) o también por un esfuerzo puntual que sobrepasa la resistencia fisiológica de los tejidos. Los trastornos musculoesqueléticos relacionados con el trabajo (TMERT) a pesar de ser prevenibles, son altamente discapacitantes, afectando a millones de trabajadores de todos los sectores productivos y causando un alto costo económico. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar los instrumentos disponibles para evaluar el trabajo repetitivo y los efectos que provoca a nivel musculoesquelético en trabajadores de sectores productivos. Se realizó una revisión de alcance, siguiendo los criterios de la declaración PRISMA. Se realizó una búsqueda en Pubmed, Scopus y WOS, en octubre de 2022. Se utilizaron como términos para la ecuación de búsqueda “Work related musculoskeletal” OR “repetitive movement” AND “assessment”. Se incluyeron 7 artículos, cinco de ellos utilizaron el método OCRA para la medición del movimiento repetitivo, uno además incluye el uso de ACGIH y SI; uno correlacionó OCRA con ART, uno utilizó Sensores de movimiento inercial junto con EMGs y uno Video y Acelerómetro. El principal método para evaluar el movimiento repetitivo junto a otros fue OCRA, permitiendo recoger datos del ambiente laboral que permitirán disminuir los factores de riesgos (FR) relacionados con TMERT. Y el Cuestionario Musculoesquelético Nórdico (NMQ) fue el instrumento más utilizado para medir los efectos de FR sobre el SME.

The platformization of urban space is opening new frontiers of capital accumulation, particularly through short-term rentals. Airbnb plays a central role in this process by commodifying housing in tourist destinations. Despite its rapid growth, research on Airbnb in Latin America—especially in small tourist cities—remains limited and largely focused on metropolitan contexts. This article addresses this gap with the objective of analyzing how platform-mediated short-term rentals reorient housing markets beyond traditional urban cores. It is hypothesized that Airbnb expands housing commodification by extending tourism-oriented uses into new residential areas and by redistributing returns unevenly across actors. Using a quantitative and geospatial approach, the results reveal a strong presence of Airbnb in rural and natural areas, from which the highest returns are extracted, as well as a high concentration of accommodation supply among professional hosts. These dynamics reconfigure housing use toward asset-based logics, posing challenges for housing security and social and territorial sustainability in small tourist cities.

The regulatory conditions present regarding anthropogenic pollution of two large Chilean Northern Patagonian lakes, Llanquihue and Villarrica, are analyzed. Taking the risk-based approach (RBA) as a reference framework, the study addresses three relevant dimensions of the socio-environmental risks present in the regulatory regimes of each ecosystem: (1) the reflexive components of the institutions involved, (2) the deployment of organizational processes regarding regulatory norms, and (3) the modalities for addressing change and complexity in the regulatory field. Developing a qualitative multiple-case study with criterion-oriented maximum variation sampling, 40 individual interviews conducted with participants who perform tasks in both cases are analyzed, examining their regulatory configurations according to the investigated dimensions. The most important findings account for: (1) an institutional attenuation that bureaucratically minimizes socio-environmental risks, hindering the transition towards preventive approaches marked by a political culture that prioritizes formal compliance over territorial management; (2) a profound institutional fragmentation and centralization of regulation that dilutes responsibility, operating under logics of minimal efforts that prevent the watershed perspective from achieving normative legitimacy; and (3) a regulatory field overwhelmed by wide-ranging phenomena of difficult regulatory management, where the binary classification of saturation proves insufficient to address diffuse pollution and risks of difficult reversibility. It is concluded that strengthening the regulatory capacities of emerging nations regarding the socio-environmental protection of large lakes requires gradually integrating risk as an organizing criterion and prospecting watershed governance based on multiple regimes complementary to the regulatory effort of the already atomized and centralized normative instruments available.

Objetivo: Investigar acerca de las evidencias disponibles sobre los factores de riesgo (FR) del síndrome de hombro doloroso (SHD) en deportistas. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión de alcance, siguiendo los criterios de la declaración PRISMA. La búsqueda fue limitada en Pubmed, WOS y Scopus. Resultados: Se incluyeron 9 estudios, dos discutieron los FR del dolor de hombro por el uso excesivo de la extremidad superior (EESS); otros dos estudios se refirieron a la posición de juego, y los otros cuatro estudios restantes no tienen FR en común. Se encontró principalmente que el desarrollo del dolor de hombro involucra múltiples factores y mecanismos; sin embargo, se pudo determinar un FR predominante, que fue el uso excesivo de la EESS. Conclusión: Esta revisión de alcance confirmó la alta prevalencia de dolor de hombro en deportistas y los FR más frecuentes; a pesar de ello, siguen faltando estudios sobre la causalidad o medidas preventivas.
