INFOTIC. Infografías académicas y herramientas de visualización de datos científicos con herramientas TIC: formación docente, diseño de recursos multimedia y experiencias didácticas para la enseñanza semipresencial

El proyecto ha gravitado en torno al uso didáctico de las infografías científicas como una herramienta destinada a la enseñanza semipresencial y telemática, aportando nuevos recursos para estudiantes y docentes y permitiendo implementar dinámicas adaptadas a las nuevas tecnologías. En este sentido, una infografía se puede definir como un conjunto de ideas complejas representadas mediante palabras, imágenes, gráficos, etc., que les confieren un aspecto visualmente atractivo. Las infografías conforman un hilo comunicativo de transmisión de estas ideas gracias al uso de textos informativos, que refuerzan su carácter pedagógico, e imágenes ilustrativas para potenciar la claridad y el dinamismo del mensaje. La visualidad de los datos integrados en las infografías es la característica más destacable de estos recursos, haciéndolas interesantes para su aplicación en la enseñanza y divulgación académica. En el marco de este proyecto, poseen una finalidad eminentemente didáctica, ayudando a que temas complejos puedan ser entendidos por un público no especializado

Prevalence, associated factors and outcomes of pressure injuries in adult intensive care unit patients: the DecubICUs study

Funder: European Society of Intensive Care Medicine; doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/501100013347Funder: Flemish Society for Critical Care NursesAbstract: Purpose: Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed to provide an international picture of the extent of pressure injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries in adult ICU patients. Methods: International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors associated with ICU-acquired pressure injury and hospital mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Results: Data from 13,254 patients in 1117 ICUs (90 countries) revealed 6747 pressure injuries; 3997 (59.2%) were ICU-acquired. Overall prevalence was 26.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 25.9–27.3). ICU-acquired prevalence was 16.2% (95% CI 15.6–16.8). Sacrum (37%) and heels (19.5%) were most affected. Factors independently associated with ICU-acquired pressure injuries were older age, male sex, being underweight, emergency surgery, higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II, Braden score 3 days, comorbidities (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, immunodeficiency), organ support (renal replacement, mechanical ventilation on ICU admission), and being in a low or lower-middle income-economy. Gradually increasing associations with mortality were identified for increasing severity of pressure injury: stage I (odds ratio [OR] 1.5; 95% CI 1.2–1.8), stage II (OR 1.6; 95% CI 1.4–1.9), and stage III or worse (OR 2.8; 95% CI 2.3–3.3). Conclusion: Pressure injuries are common in adult ICU patients. ICU-acquired pressure injuries are associated with mainly intrinsic factors and mortality. Optimal care standards, increased awareness, appropriate resource allocation, and further research into optimal prevention are pivotal to tackle this important patient safety threat

Desde la comunidad rural: gestión patrimonial e identidad local en Arisgotas (Toledo)

El yacimiento de Los Hitos en Arisgotas (Orgaz, Toledo. 60 habitantes, aproximadamente) ha vivido un resurgimiento cultural desde que empezaron las excavaciones de 2016, en el que la comunidad ha sido el elemento clave. Diferentes actores se han involucrado en la revitalización del patrimonio natural y cultural, tanto material como intangible. Estos han puesto en valor y originado dinámicas culturales más allá de la Academia, aunando la generación de conocimiento científico con la producción de un paisaje cultural vivo y diverso desde, con y para la comunidad local y rural. En esta comunicación presentamos un análisis de gestión patrimonial que, enmarcado dentro de la Arqueología Comunitaria, permite ilustrar procesos de patrimonialización desde los márgenes geográficos y académicos. Proponemos que, en ellos (1) se introducen discursos rompedores y reivindicativos, (2) se presentan prácticas museográficas accesibles y (3) se promueve una reflexión crítica de categorías tradicionalmente opuestas: “patrimonio natural vs. cultural” o “museo como espacio cerrado vs. espacios exteriores como itinerario del museo”.The archaeological site of Los Hitos, in Arisgotas - village inhabited by 60 people in Orgaz (Toledo) -, has experienced a cultural revival since the archaeological Works started in 2016, and for which the local community has been a key element. Different actors have engaged in revitalising the natural and cultural heritage (both material and immaterial), in addition to work for its valorisation and preservation. This has originated cultural dynamics which go beyond Academia, merging scientific knowledge with fostering a rich and lively landscape from, with and for the rural and local community. This contribution presents an analysis of culture and heritage management which is framed within Community Archaeology. It illustrates heritage processes from “geographic and academic margins’’. We argue that these (1) introduce ground-breaking and vindicative narratives, (2) develop accessible museographical responses, and (3) foster a critic reflexion on categories traditionally considered as opposite, such as “natural vs. cultural heritage” or “museums as closed spaces vs. outdoors itineraries of the museum”

To open up art museums to a more social approach

Following postmodernism, for the past four decades, History of Art, heritage and museum studies have evolved towards an encounter with other disciplines. Traditional research in artworks has led to studies on cultural institutions themselves. Studies in art sociology has allowed us to evolve from an understanding of art production to understanding the people; those who create as well as those who perceive and all the individuals in between: artists, donors, collectors, audiences, etc. These researches conducted a shift of paradigm in museums administration, increasingly taking into account visitors’ needs, demands and cultural experience. It is at this moment when a will to render heritage accessible also manifest in public policies. For instance, in 1959, the Ministry of cultural affairs of France is created. André Malraux assumed the head of the ministry in its first decade of existence and stated among its fundamental missions to “make capital artworks of humanity accessible (…) and to ensure the largest audience possible to our cultural heritage”. With the time, other ministries of heritage and culture were created all along Europe. Ever since, they have all little by little integrated the notions of inclusion, cultural democratization and universal accessibility

INFORED-UCM: Discover, teach and disseminate. Data visualisation and infographics for scientific communication

Este cuarto proyecto de innovación sobre el uso y diseño de infografías científicas en el aula se ha enfocado en torno a dos ejes: la formación de los estudiantes, mediante la mejora de las competencias necesarias para el diseño y elaboración de infografías científicas de contenidos académicos a través de herramientas web 3.0 disponibles en abierto y la formación del profesorado, a través de cursos sobre metodologías y programas de diseño infográfico que les capaciten para utilizar las infografías como recurso no sólo didáctico sino también de divulgación científica.

INFODATA-UCM. Infografías científicas y visualización de datos para la docencia y la transferencia del conocimiento

Partiendo de la experiencia acumulada en las dos convocatorias anteriores de la UCM y otros proyectos paralelos de las universidades colaboradoras (URJC y UAM), los objetivos de esta nueva propuesta se articulan en torno a dos ejes: la formación de los estudiantes, mediante la mejora de las competencias necesarias para el diseño y elaboración de infografías científicas de contenidos académicos a través de herramientas web 3.0 disponibles en abierto –incluyendo, como novedad, las herramientas de visualización de datos– y la formación del profesorado, a través de cursos –presenciales/semipresenciales/on-line– sobre metodologías y programas de diseño infográfico que les capaciten para utilizar las infografías como recurso no sólo didáctico, sino también de divulgación científica

Evaluation of a quality improvement intervention to reduce anastomotic leak following right colectomy (EAGLE): pragmatic, batched stepped-wedge, cluster-randomized trial in 64 countries

Background Anastomotic leak affects 8 per cent of patients after right colectomy with a 10-fold increased risk of postoperative death. The EAGLE study aimed to develop and test whether an international, standardized quality improvement intervention could reduce anastomotic leaks. Methods The internationally intended protocol, iteratively co-developed by a multistage Delphi process, comprised an online educational module introducing risk stratification, an intraoperative checklist, and harmonized surgical techniques. Clusters (hospital teams) were randomized to one of three arms with varied sequences of intervention/data collection by a derived stepped-wedge batch design (at least 18 hospital teams per batch). Patients were blinded to the study allocation. Low- and middle-income country enrolment was encouraged. The primary outcome (assessed by intention to treat) was anastomotic leak rate, and subgroup analyses by module completion (at least 80 per cent of surgeons, high engagement; less than 50 per cent, low engagement) were preplanned. Results A total 355 hospital teams registered, with 332 from 64 countries (39.2 per cent low and middle income) included in the final analysis. The online modules were completed by half of the surgeons (2143 of 4411). The primary analysis included 3039 of the 3268 patients recruited (206 patients had no anastomosis and 23 were lost to follow-up), with anastomotic leaks arising before and after the intervention in 10.1 and 9.6 per cent respectively (adjusted OR 0.87, 95 per cent c.i. 0.59 to 1.30; P = 0.498). The proportion of surgeons completing the educational modules was an influence: the leak rate decreased from 12.2 per cent (61 of 500) before intervention to 5.1 per cent (24 of 473) after intervention in high-engagement centres (adjusted OR 0.36, 0.20 to 0.64; P < 0.001), but this was not observed in low-engagement hospitals (8.3 per cent (59 of 714) and 13.8 per cent (61 of 443) respectively; adjusted OR 2.09, 1.31 to 3.31). Conclusion Completion of globally available digital training by engaged teams can alter anastomotic leak rates. Registration number: NCT04270721 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov)
