La vergüenza nacional

Esta es la fiesta nacional. Esta es la cruel realidad detrás del mundo de los espectáculos taurinos. Los toreros, estos desalmados que masacran al indefenso animal, son llamados “maestros” y “artistas”.

Hasta cuándo debemos soportar esta barbaridad ? Hasta cuándo nuestros hijos tendrán que estar expuestos a estos aberrantes “espectáculos” en la televisión pública ?

No olvidemos que mientras el actual gobierno español recorta en educación y en sanidad, sigue subvencionando y promocionando estos macabros y sádicos eventos .

Gracias a los amigos del PACMA y resto de organizaciones defensoras de los animales por luchar por un futuro más justo y humano, que tanto necesita este mundo.

Les advierto que el video es fuerte, pero es importante terminar con la mentira que el mundo de la tauromaquia intenta instaurar. La tortura no es ni arte ni cultura.

Richard Stallman in Argentina

As the “Free Software World” knows, Dr. Richard Stallman visited Argentina last week.
Dr. Stallman
Thanks to the great work of Fundación Via Libre and the Centro de Estudiantes “Nuevo Espacio”, Stallman could come to Argentina one more time !
So, as planned, Dr. Stallman got to Argentina for the last time and started his agenda. He first went to Rio Negro where he provided support for the initiative of the provincial government to pass a Law of Free Software. 

Then, on Friday, June 8th he gave an excellent conference at the Facultad de Ciencias Económicas of the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA). There were around 500 people present and, according to many people, it was one of the best conference Dr. Stallman has given. 
During the lecture Luis Falcón, of GNU Solidario, was invited by Stallman to talk about GNU Health: The Free Health and Hospital Information System. We really want to to thank Mr. Stallman for this opportunity and for the support to the GNU Health project. 
Luis Falcón – GNU Solidario –
Unfortunately, a night that was supposed to be remembered forever as the last time of Stallman in Argentina, ended up in the worst way. While many people were surrounding Mr. Stallman to take pictures and buy some merchandising, his bag was stolen. He was robbed of his computer, passport, money, medicines … (wikinoticias).
During the weekend we had the opportunity to spend some time with him and it was nice to have a dinner with talks and jokes (Mr. Stallman has a great sense of humor, even in Spanish !).

We wish him good luck and a safe trip back home !

English version from Luis Falcon’s blog
Estoy orgulloso de anunciar la salida de las series 1.6 de GNU Health !

Estas series vienen con muchas características nuevas e interesantes tanto a nivel técnico como funcional.

Desde el punto de vista técnico, la más importante es la compatibilidad con Tryton 2.4 y la demo del database, de manera que usted podrá testearlo con los datos.

Desde el lado funcional hubo mejoras en el módulo ginecológico, especialmente en términos de screening (mamografía, PAP test, colposcopía …) y en la historia clínica.
Ha habido cambios importantes en la funcionalidad de los servicios y facturación, facilitando el seguimiento de todos los servicios realizados a un paciente y de lo que estaría sujeto a facturación.
Otras características de las series 1.6, en breve:
  • Compatible con Tryton 2.4
  • Reporte completo de la Historia Clínica del Paciente en LibreOffice
  • Incluye demo database con mas de 500 pacientes 
  • Tablas y gráficos estadísticos en tiempo real
  • Asignación automática del doctor en las evaluaciones de los pacientes
  • Añade Screening Historia Ginecológica – Mamografía, PAP y colposcopía
  • Mejora de evaluación del paciente, diagnóstico diferencial y condiciones secundarias
  • Añade grupos de enfermedades, muy útil para epidemiología
  • Mejor seguimiento de paciente y contacto
  • Primeros tests de laboratorio de Tuberculosis, incluidos en el módulo  MDG (Millennium Development Goal # 6 ).
Hemos incluido también el Módulo de Health servicios, 
 

Este nuevo módulo permite agrupar todos lo servicios realizados a un paciente, ya sea en el ámbito ambulatorio o de internación. Este módulo permitirá también al Centro de Salud facturar servicios determinados a un party específico (paciente, compañía de seguro …). Dado que los servicios están vinculados a los productos, el centro de salud mantendrá un registro detallado de los medicamentos e insumos utilizados. Podrán también relacionar las órdenes de laboratorio.

Gracias a todos ustedes que han contribuido a esta nueva versión de GNU Health. Gracias a la comunidad Tryton para la gran versión Tryton 2.4; a mis compañeros de Thymbra para desarrollar el módulo de gráficos / reportes (Sebastián), por trabajar  en la documentación y testing (Cristina y Selene) y, por supuesto, a toda la comunidad de GNU Health y GNU para adoptar y hosting nuestro proyecto !

From Luis Falcon`s blog:

I’m proud to announce GNU Health 1.6 series !

This series brings a lot of exciting features, both from the technical and functional point of views.
On the technical side, the most important one is the compatibility with Tryton 2.4, and the demo database, so you can test it with data.

On the functional side, improvements in the gynecology module, especially in terms of screening (mammography, PAP tests, colposcopies… ) and history taking.
There has been major changes in the services and billing functionality, making easy the tracking of all the services done to a patient, and what would be subject to invoicing.

Evaluations per doctor chart in GNU Health

Some of the features in the 1.6 series, in brief :
  • Compatible with Tryton 2.4
  • Full Patient clinical history reporting in LibreOffice
  • Included demo database with over 500 patients 
  • Realtime charts and statistics graphics
  • Automatic  doctor assignment in patient evaluations
  • Add Gynecological Screening History – Mammography, PAP and colposcopy
  • Improve patient evaluation , differential diagnosis and secondary conditions
  • Add disease groups, very useful for epidemiology
  • Better patient and contact tracking
  • Initial Tuberculosis lab tests, included in the MDG (Millennium Development Goal # 6 ) module.
We have also included the Health services module,
Health Services form in GNU Healt
This new module allows to group all the services done to a patient, in either ambulatory or inpatient settings. The module will give the health center the possibility to also invoice selected services to a specific party (patient, insurance company .. ). Since the services are linked to products, the health center will keep a detailed record of the drugs and consumables used. They will also be able to relate the lab orders.

Thank you to all of you who have contributed to this new version of GNU Health. Thanks to the Tryton community for the great Tryton 2.4; to my colleagues from Thymbra for developing the graphics / reporting module (Sebastián), working on the documenation and testing (Cristina and Selene) and, of course, to all the GNU Health and GNU community for adopting and hosting our project !
