El principal objetivo de este trabajo fue describir cómo los clubes de inglés influyen en la confianza de los estudiantes para participar oralmente en sus cursos de inglés. Para cumplir con este objetivo, este trabajo se llevó a cabo bajo una sistematización de la experiencia con un enfoque cualitativo. Para el desarrollo de este proyecto se tuvo en cuenta la importante opinión de cada uno de los participantes que asistieron a los clubes de ingles. Asimismo, estos datos se obtuvieron a través de diferentes instrumentos de recolección de datos como: una encuesta, una entrevista semiestructurada y un grupo focal. El análisis de la información obtenida en cada una de las fases de la investigación permitió concluir que los clubes de inglés se han convertido en espacios donde los estudiantes van a practicar su segunda lengua, donde se evidenció la influencia positiva que estos clubes tienen en ellos en cuanto al desarrollo de la confianza. Para participar de forma oral, también se evidenció que los estudiantes que asisten a estos clubes tienen diferentes metas, las cuales en esta investigación los nombramos como factores motivacionales los cuales son sus principales motivadores para asistir a estos, y finalmente se evidenció la confianza de los estudiantes para participar, donde mencionan que asistiendo al club inglés, ganan más confianza, porque los perciben como un ambiente tranquilo, porque es un espacio donde no hay presión debido a calificaciones académicas o errores al hablar en inglés.Extracurricular spaces play a very important role in significantly supporting and complementing the process of learning a foreign language.

Associated factors for mortality in a COVID-19 colombian cohort : is the third wave relevant when Mu variant was predominant epidemiologically?

Q1Q1Pacientes con COVID-19Objectives: To evaluate the association between Colombia's third wave when the Mu variant was predominant epidemiologically (until 75%) in Colombia and COVID-19 all-cause in-hospital mortality. Methods: In this retrospective cohort, we included hospitalized patients ≥18 years with SARS-CoV-2 infection between March 2020 to September 2021 in ten hospitals from three cities in Colombia. Description analysis, survival, and multivariate Cox regression analyses were performed to evaluate the association between the third epidemic wave and in-hospital mortality. Results: A total of 25,371 patients were included. The age-stratified time-to-mortality curves showed differences according to epidemic waves in patients ≥75 years (log-rank test p = 0.012). In the multivariate Cox analysis, the third wave was not associated with increased mortality relative to the first wave (aHR 0.95; 95%CI 0.84–1.08), but there was an interaction between age ≥75 years and the third wave finding a lower HR for mortality (aHR 0.56, 95%CI 0.36–0.86). Conclusions: We did not find an increase in in-hospital mortality during the third epidemic wave in which the Mu variant was predominant in Colombia. The reduced hazard in mortality in patients ≥75 years hospitalized in the third wave could be explained by the high coverage of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in this population and patients with underlying conditions.https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1833-1599https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5363-5729https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6964-2229https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3975-2835https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9441-4375Revista Internacional - IndexadaA1N
