Prior research indicates that employees from ethnic minority backgrounds are more likely to experience depression and other mental health problems than their ethnic majority counterparts. To understand what drives these negative outcomes, we integrate research on ethnic minorities at work with the job demands-resources (JDR) model. Based on the JDR model, we consider climate for inclusion as a key job resource for ethnic minority employees that mitigates the deleterious effects of ethnic minority status on job self-efficacy, perceived job demands, and depressive symptoms. We conducted a two-wave survey study (Time 1: N = 771; Time 2: N = 299, six months apart) with employees from five medium sized not-for-profit and local government organizations in Australia. Our empirical results indicate that ethnic minorities report a higher job-self-efficacy and fewer depressive symptoms when they perceive a high climate for inclusion.

El presente artículo expone los resultados del diagnóstico comunitario que se realizó en el marco del proyecto de la Universidad de Costa Rica, titulado "Desarrollo de capacidades en la comunidad de Santa María de Dota para la prevención del suicidio"; el cual tenía como objetivo contribuir a la comprensión de este fenómeno en dicha comunidad a partir de la identificación de aquellos factores que inciden sobre la conducta suicida. Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa y participativa con técnicas como entrevistas, grupos de discusión y talleres. En los resultados se exponen los principales problemas de la comunidad y los aspectos positivos considerados respectivamente como factores de riesgo y factores protectores para el suicidio, así como la percepción que se tiene de este y las herramientas comunitarias para enfrentarlo.Palabras clave: Suicidio; enfoque psicosocial; salud comunitaria; factores de riesgo; factores protectores. AbstractThe present article at hand presents the results of the community assessment that was carried out as part of the project "Capacity building in the community of Santa Maria de Dota for suicide prevention" from the University of Costa Rica. The former aimed to better understand suicide in this community by identifying those factors that influence suicidal behavior. A qualitative and participatory approach, with techniques such as interviews, focus groups, and workshops, was used. The results expose the main problems of the community considered as risk factors for suicide, the positive qualities that are considered as protective factors, and the perception people have of suicide as well as the strategies the community has to face this problem.

The KARS gene encodes the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS), which activates and joins the lysin with its corresponding transfer RNA (tRNA) through the ATP-dependent aminoacylation of the amino acid. KARS gene mutations have been linked to diverse neurologic phenotypes, such as neurosensorial hearing loss, leukodystrophy, microcephaly, developmental delay or regression, peripheral neuropathy, cardiomyopathy, the impairment of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, and hyperlactatemia, among others. This article presents the case of a Colombian pediatric patient with two pathological missense variants in a compound heterozygous state in the KARS gene and, in addition to the case report, the paper reviews the literature for other cases of KARS1-associated leukodystrophy.

Resumen El suicidio, desde una aproximación psicosocial, debe llamar la atención sobre las dinámicas sociales, las interacciones interpersonales, las redes vinculares y los aspectos estructurales asociados. Por lo
