Abstract

This article analyzes the impact of Law 100 of 1993 on job creation in Colombia, examining how labor reforms—particularly Law 789 of 2002—reconfigured organizational management models throughout the country. Through a documentary approach and secondary data analysis from DANE, the Bank of the Republic, and the OECD, the transformations of the labor market over three decades are evaluated. Results show that the rise in parafiscal costs imposed critical challenges on the financial management of organizations, creating pressures toward informality, while labor flexibility reforms enabled new human talent management schemes with mixed effects on job quality. Recent evidence from Amodio and de Roux (2023) regarding labor market power on the demand side suggests that organizational decision-making capacity directly influences the determination of wage conditions. The study includes a comparative analysis by presidential periods and concludes that decent work generation depends on a balance between state social protection and the efficiency of organizational management within productive units facing regional disparities.

Keywords : Law 100 of 1993, Law 789 of 2002, labor reform, job creation, organizational management, labor informality, labor market power, Colombia.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
