This contribution aims at showing the challenges faced by patients whose treatment for chronic and degenerative diseases implies weight control. Under a qualitative research approach, guided by psychoanalysis, in-depth interviews were conducted and data analyzed through content analysis. Results seem to indicate that the patients’ challenges have three dimensions: a) a socio-structurally institutional one, b) the therapeutic bond, and c) a psychic-drive correlate. It was concluded that patients attribute their main difficulties to the lack of institutional services and to the therapeutic bond; they do not acknowledge the inconsistencies in weight control within their psychic correlate, nor take responsibility for their treatment or self-care. Moreover, institutional shortcomings limit the treatment reach and contribute to the problem chronification.

La actividad pesquera del Perú está principalmente sustentada en la anchoveta, a partir de la cual se fabrica harina de pescado, cuya exportación se posiciona en un nivel expectante año tras año. Esta pesquería se viene desarrollando mediante la Ley de Límites Máximos de Captura por Embarcación (LMCE) desde el año 2009, cuyos objetivos se enfocan en la modernización y eficiencia del sector, el fomento del desarrollo sostenido, y el aprovechamiento responsable de los recursos hidrobiológicos (Decreto Legislativo 1084, art.1). En ese sentido, el objetivo de esta investigación es conocer las consecuencias de la implementación de la Ley de LMCE en las exportaciones de harina de pescado del Perú, con Subpartida Nacional 2301.20.11.00, durante el periodo 2009-2018. Se utiliza un enfoque de investigación cualitativa con teoría fundamentada. Para ello, se realizaron entrevistas ...
