- Background: Efforts to establish the 2015 baseline and monitor early implementation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) highlight both great potential for and threats to improving health by 2030. To fully deliver on the SDG aim of “leaving no one behind”, it is increasingly important to examine the health-related SDGs beyond national-level estimates. As part of the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2017 (GBD 2017), we measured progress on 41 of 52 health-related SDG indicators and estimated the health-related SDG index for 195 countries and territories for the period 1990–2017, projected indicators to 2030, and analysed global attainment. Methods: We measured progress on 41 health-related SDG indicators from 1990 to 2017, an increase of four indicators since GBD 2016 (new indicators were health worker density, sexual violence by non-intimate partners, population census status, and prevalence of physical and sexual violence [reported separately]). We also improved the measurement of several previously reported indicators. We constructed national-level estimates and, for a subset of health-related SDGs, examined indicator-level differences by sex and Socio-demographic Index (SDI) quintile. We also did subnational assessments of performance for selected countries. To construct the health-related SDG index, we transformed the value for each indicator on a scale of 0–100, with 0 as the 2·5th percentile and 100 as the 97·5th percentile of 1000 draws calculated from 1990 to 2030, and took the geometric mean of the scaled indicators by target. To generate projections through 2030, we used a forecasting framework that drew estimates from the broader GBD study and used weighted averages of indicator-specific and country-specific annualised rates of change from 1990 to 2017 to inform future estimates. We assessed attainment of indicators with defined targets in two ways: first, using mean values projected for 2030, and then using the probability of attainment in 2030 calculated from 1000 draws. We also did a global attainment analysis of the feasibility of attaining SDG targets on the basis of past trends. Using 2015 global averages of indicators with defined SDG targets, we calculated the global annualised rates of change required from 2015 to 2030 to meet these targets, and then identified in what percentiles the required global annualised rates of change fell in the distribution of country-level rates of change from 1990 to 2015. We took the mean of these global percentile values across indicators and applied the past rate of change at this mean global percentile to all health-related SDG indicators, irrespective of target definition, to estimate the equivalent 2030 global average value and percentage change from 2015 to 2030 for each indicator. Findings: The global median health-related SDG index in 2017 was 59·4 (IQR 35·4–67·3), ranging from a low of 11·6 (95% uncertainty interval 9·6–14·0) to a high of 84·9 (83·1–86·7). SDG index values in countries assessed at the subnational level varied substantially, particularly in China and India, although scores in Japan and the UK were more homogeneous. Indicators also varied by SDI quintile and sex, with males having worse outcomes than females for non-communicable disease (NCD) mortality, alcohol use, and smoking, among others. Most countries were projected to have a higher health-related SDG index in 2030 than in 2017, while country-level probabilities of attainment by 2030 varied widely by indicator. Under-5 mortality, neonatal mortality, maternal mortality ratio, and malaria indicators had the most countries with at least 95% probability of target attainment. Other indicators, including NCD mortality and suicide mortality, had no countries projected to meet corresponding SDG targets on the basis of projected mean values for 2030 but showed some probability of attainment by 2030. For some indicators, including child malnutrition, several infectious diseases, and most violence measures, the annualised rates of change required to meet SDG targets far exceeded the pace of progress achieved by any country in the recent past. We found that applying the mean global annualised rate of change to indicators without defined targets would equate to about 19% and 22% reductions in global smoking and alcohol consumption, respectively; a 47% decline in adolescent birth rates; and a more than 85% increase in health worker density per 1000 population by 2030. Interpretation: The GBD study offers a unique, robust platform for monitoring the health-related SDGs across demographic and geographic dimensions. Our findings underscore the importance of increased collection and analysis of disaggregated data and highlight where more deliberate design or targeting of interventions could accelerate progress in attaining the SDGs. Current projections show that many health-related SDG indicators, NCDs, NCD-related risks, and violence-related indicators will require a concerted shift away from what might have driven past gains—curative interventions in the case of NCDs—towards multisectoral, prevention-oriented policy action and investments to achieve SDG aims. Notably, several targets, if they are to be met by 2030, demand a pace of progress that no country has achieved in the recent past. The future is fundamentally uncertain, and no model can fully predict what breakthroughs or events might alter the course of the SDGs. What is clear is that our actions—or inaction—today will ultimately dictate how close the world, collectively, can get to leaving no one behind by 2030.

- Sustainability requires a combination of meaningful co-production of locally relevant solutions, synthesis of insights gained across regions, and increased cooperation between science, policy and practice. The Programme for Ecosystem Change and Society (PECS) has been coordinating Place-Based Social-Ecological Sustainability Research (PBSESR) across the globe and emphasizes the need for regional scientific nodes from diverse biocultural regions to inform sustainability science and action. In this paper, we assess the strengths of the PBSESR communities in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). We provide an overview of PBSESR literature associated with this region and highlight the achievements of two prominent regional networks: The Social-Ecological Systems and Sustainability Research Network from Mexico (SocioEcoS) and the South American Institute for Resilience and Sustainability Studies from Uruguay (SARAS Institute). Finally, we identify the potential in these nodes to constitute a regional PECS node in Latin America and discuss the capacity needed to ensure such function. The results of the literature review show that while still loosely interconnected across the region, networks play key roles in connecting otherwise cloistered teams and we illustrate how the SocioEcoS network (focusing on transdisciplinary co-production of knowledge towards sustainability) and the SARAS Institute (focusing on innovative approaches for looking at complex social-ecological problems, rooted in slow science and arts) operate as key connectors in the region. We conclude that these organizations combined can embody a Latin American node for PECS, and would thereby not only contribute to regional but also global capacities to advance the sustainability agenda.

2nd Crossmmla : Multimodal learning analytics across physical and digital spaces
- 2018
-
Proceedings (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- Students’ learning is ubiquitous. It happens wherever the learner is rather than being constrained to a specific physical or digital learning space (e.g. the classroom or the institutional LMS respectively). A critical question is: how to integrate and coordinate learning analytics to provide continued support to learning across physical and digital spaces? CrossMMLA is the successor to the Learning Analytics Across Spaces (CrossLAK) and MultiModal Learning Analytics (MMLA) series of workshops that were merged in 2017 after successful cross-pollination between the two communities. Although it may be said that CrossLAK and MMLA perspectives follow different philosophical and practical approaches, they both share a common aim. This aim is: deploying learning analytics innovations that can be used across diverse authentic learning environments whilst learners feature various modalities of interaction or behaviour.

Revistas europeas de Estudios Latinoamericanos : informe preparado para el 8º Congreso CEISAL, Salamanca 2016. Análisis
- 2016
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Partiendo de América Latina Portal Europeo, recurso producido por los centros miembros de REDIAL, este informe analiza una selección de revistas europeas de Estudios Latinoamericanos. El corpus examinado consta de los volúmenes publicados entre 2011 y 2015 en 74 revistas. Se excluyeron otras 215 publicaciones registradas en el portal por diferentes razones, 34% lo fueron por no haber editado números posteriores a 2013. Esto indica que la continuidad es un problema para bastantes revistas. Varias de ellas también han tenido un recorrido corto y nuestro análisis muestra que en su mayoría las revistas de Estudios Latinoamericanos son relativamente jóvenes. Es probable que varias de las revistas se hayan creado a la medida de instituciones especializadas en Estudios de Área y este tipo de centros han atravesado serios problemas durante la última década que influyen en las dificultades para dar continuidad a las publicaciones. El traslado a formatos digitales en el mundo editorial ha hecho relativamente fácil y barato empezar una nueva revista solamente en soporte electrónico, pero los desafíos para mantener contenido y continuidad son los mismos que para una revista impresa. Entre los rasgos más característicos de las revistas analizadas encontramos el predominio del acceso abierto, la publicación en plataformas institucionales y la falta de visibilidad en bases de datos, índices de citas, sistemas de categorización y evaluación, así como en los registros de políticas de auto-archivo. Pensamos que hay una correspondencia entre estos factores: la edición local y dispersa, junto con falta de tiempo y las dificultades de los editores para mantenerse al tanto con los desarrollos editoriales, impiden la visibilidad. El predominio de publicaciones anglo-americanas en las bases e índices más conocidos es otro factor que invisibiliza en parte a las revistas de nuestro corpus, donde solo el 15% de los artículos son escritos en inglés. Además, el perfil temático de los Estudios Latinoamericanos europeos está dominado por Historia y Literatura, que tienen una representación muy baja en los índices de citas. Otro factor en contra de la visibilidad de las revistas de enfoque regional es que tanto en plataformas, bases e índices, quedan agrupadas en categorías genéricas como Estudios de Área con revistas de ámbitos sin relaciones entre sí. La presencia en las principales plataformas comerciales es escasa y las revistas quedan aisladas sin poderse beneficiar de potenciales usuarios de publicaciones afines. En el ámbito del acceso abierto, destaca el auge de Revues.org que sí reúne un número importante de revistas latinomaericanistas francesas. Las disciplinas de mayor presencia en las revistas analizadas son Historia y Literatura, seguidas de Ciencias Políticas. Los países más estudiados en nuestro corpus son los países más grandes, Argentina, Brasil y México, en algunos casos con revistas especializadas exclusivamente en estos países. El factor lingúïstico también influye sobre la participación de autores adscritos a instituciones latinoamericanas, ya que se presencia es especialmente importante en las revistas dominadas por el español. La presencia del portugués en la totalidad del corpus solo llega a un 8% y es predominante solamente en revistas especializadas en Brasil. Las revistas con mayor nivel de co-autoría responden a los perfiles de Economía, Arqueología y Ciencias Políticas. La diversidad de procedencias nacionales parece mayor entre las revistas antropológicas/arqueológicas por una parte y las literarias por otra. Si se analizan las relaciones entre las revistas, representadas por compartir los mismos autores, se muestra que las publicaciones más especializadas en cuanto a disciplinas se relacionan más fuertemente entre sí. Por otra parte, algunas publicaciones quedan aisladas en el conjunto europeo al no compartir apenas autores con otros títulos. Esto se produce en las revistas de Europa Oriental y en las que representan ámbitos temáticos singulares. Respecto a la endogamia, la mayor parte de las publicaciones presentan suficiente apertura en la autoría. Solamente en cinco casos la aportación del autor más frecuente supera el 10% de los trabajos publicados. En los comités editoriales y científicos, el país no europeo más representado son los Estados Unidos. En cuanto a la presencia de miembros de América Latina destacan México y Brasil. Las revistas francesas son las que tienen menos representación internacional en los comités científicos. Finalmente si se analizan los resultados aportados por los índices de citas, destacan especialmente las publicaciones del Reino Unido: Journal of Latin American Studies, Ancient Mesoamerica y Bulletin of Latin American Research. Las revistas británicas son las mejor representadas en Web of Science, si bien hay mayor presencia de España en Scopus y de Francia en Google Metrics.
