Safety culture has been a decisive factor for global organizations. Cultural approach to safety and health in recent decades has been to identify and model the culture from an explanatory paradigm. Purpose of the study was to analyze cultural dimensions on occupational safety and health of workers in a pre-pharmaceutical enterprise through cultural consensus theory, with a qualitative design. 40 workers were recruited into two groups (partners and employees) and 399 codes were built in six families per group. Three cultural dimensions (health, safety and targets) were identified in both groups but with a much more obvious cultural consensus in partners than in employees (CC=0.623 and 0.53, respectively).

This paper aimed to know the level of resilience from a sample of university students in a public institution of education in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. In addition to that, the relationship and difference between resilience and the variables of gender, age and socioeconomic status were analyzed. For this research, it was used the Resilience Scale developed by Wagnild and Young (1993) in the version translated and adapted to Spanish by Heilemann, Kury and Lee (2003), which consists of 25 reagents in the Likert scaling. This was used to measure the variable of interest. The results show high levels of resilience in university students and there were no significant differences between the career, sex and age variables. It was concluded that high resilience is a very generalized characteristic in the majority of college students. Finally, further research with other sample sizes and other careers is highly recommended. Likewise, the works, not included in this study, that relate resilience to other psychosocial variables are recommended as well.

This research was conducted at an accredited university in the city of Barranquilla, from a sample of about 90 students, out of a total population of 1143 students of their Business Administration program. The main objective is to reveal the latent variables that show consumer behavior on students and the development of a model for service measurement.This article is the result of an investigation, presenting empirical results through the use of a quantitative technique method and inferential statistics such as factor analysis and clustering. The results allowed to know through the dimensions of the Servqual scale, what students require, thus recognizing two groups. It is proposed for application on the consumer psychology when being served, the redesign of the SERVQUAL survey, through a survey Likert, running statistical data processors like Statgraphics and SSPS for the analysis of information.

This article is the result of research and its main work objective is to determine the incidence of the factors associated with the development of reading comprehension for ninth grade students of School District Jesús Maestro Fe y Alegría of Barranquilla. Based on the fact that reading comprehension is present in life as a source of understanding and pleasure, because when learners read, they are generally motivated to think and respond with answers; this research arises because teachers in the classroom identify those students that have difficulties in the reading process, which in turn may be associated with academic, cultural and personal factors that significantly affect the teaching-learning process.The design is of a mixed nature (qualitative - quantitative) and the techniques of data collection were made through interviews and surveys with closed and open questions. The results proved that 50 % of students have the ability to understand what they read, but from the familiar context does not accompany the process and from the school point of view no favorable environments encourage reading. This of course is evident in school performance thereof. Faced with this situation the institution must manage educational strategies to promote reading processes in the areas of knowledge, thus creating enough spaces for the development of integrated reading and understanding.
