Lectura, escritura y oralidad en la infancia con las TIC: una forma innovadora de enseñanza aprendizaje

Trabajo de gradoLa lectura, escritura y oralidad son competencias básicas para el aprendizaje y es muy frecuente que a los niños y niñas no les guste, ni llame la atención estas actividades, que para muchos es aburrida y poco interesante, por tanto, es un reto para los docentes presentar de manera innovadora el aprendizaje, con el ánimo de que los estudiantes se interesen, se motiven a aprender y muestren una actitud positiva. Este proyecto da a conocer cómo en este proceso las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (TIC) con su variedad de recursos y estrategias didácticas, que, usadas con el juego, la literatura y el arte, son un medio asertivo para que los niños y niñas desarrollen y fortalezcan dichas competencias, que son de suma importancia para que forjen el camino del saber, con unas bases de aprendizaje bien cimentadas, que permita que los niños y niñas construyan su aprendizaje de manera significativa.Reading, writing and speaking are basic skills for learning and it is very common that children do not like or attract attention to these activities, which for many are boring and uninteresting, therefore, it is a challenge for children. Teachers present learning in an innovative way, with the aim that students are interested, motivated to learn and show a positive attitude. This project reveals how, in this process, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) with their variety of resources and didactic strategies, which, used with games, literature and art, are an assertive means for children to develop and strengthen these skills, which are of the utmost importance for them to forge the path of knowledge, with well-founded learning bases, which allow children to build their learning in a meaningful way

Propuesta de Supply Chain Management y Logística para la empresa secretaría de deporte y recreación de Pereira

El presente documento se toma como objeto de estudio a la secretaría de Deporte y Recreación de Pereira analizando la configuración de la red del Supply Chain y mostrando los enfoques GSCF Y APICS-SCOR. Esta empresa se dedica a planear, programar, hacer seguimiento y control a las actividades deportivas y recreativas de la ciudad, y a su vez está a cargo de la administración, manteamiento, construcción y adecuación de los escenarios. Aplicando el concepto de Supply Chain, se demostrará como la integración de todos los actores de la cadena de suministro, pueden garantizar el éxito de todos los interesados, para generar ventajas competitivas entre los mismos. En esta empresa pública se identificará su estructura, aplicando el enfoque GSCF el cual está compuesto por 8 procesos claves, con este modelo de enfoque se describen las relaciones claves entre las funciones internas de la organización, y entes externos como proveedores y clientes. Por medio del modelo SCOR, el cual se fundamenta en seis procesos principales, permite especificar toda la cadena de suministro, gracias a un conjunto de interacción con el cliente, transacciones materiales e interacciones del mercado que la metodología explica; como referente se analiza el índice de desempeño logístico, estudio respaldado por el Banco Mundial, donde se realiza un análisis de Colombia con respecto a diferentes países en diferentes hemisferios del globo. Aquí se puede apreciar como los países con logística eficiente pueden vincular las empresas con mercados nacionales e internacionales, la eficiencia en el despacho aduanero, embarques, calidad de la infraestructura y puntualidad de los embarques son criterios importantes a la hora de evaluar las operaciones logísticas de los diferentes países. 9 Se diseña para la secretaría el Diagrama de Flujo de información, Diagrama de Flujo de servicios y Diagrama de flujo de dinero, con el fin de resaltar la importancia de la gestión de inventario, ya que se debe conocer lo que se posee, su ubicación, valor y demanda, necesarios para suplir las necesidades de los clientes. Se aplicará a la empresa de estudio el Efecto látigo, en busca de las causas y estrategias para comprender y evitar este fenómeno, aquí la demanda juega un papel determinante que puede generar retrasos, amplificación y distorsión de las señales de la necesidades de los clientes. Se evaluará la gestión de inventarios de la organización, construyendo estrategias que conlleven a un mejor manejo de inventarios, estudiando los beneficios de los diferentes inventarios como el centralizado o descentralizado, tocando fundamentos del pronóstico de la demanda y así recomendando un modelo de gestión de inventario más conveniente para la organización.This document takes the Pereira Department of Sports and Recreation as an object of study, analyzing the configuration of the Supply Chain network and showing the GSCF and APICS-SCOR approaches. This company is dedicated to planning, scheduling, monitoring and controlling sports and recreational activities in the city, and in turn is in charge of the administration, maintenance, construction and adaptation of the scenarios. Applying the Supply Chain concept, it will be demonstrated how the integration of all the actors in the supply chain can guarantee the success of all the stakeholders, to generate competitive advantages among them. In this public company, its structure will be identified, applying the GSCF approach which is composed of 8 key processes, with this approach model the key relationships between the internal functions of the organization, and external entities such as suppliers and customers are described. Through the SCOR model, which is based on six main processes, it allows specifying the entire supply chain, thanks to a set of interaction with the client, material transactions and market interactions that the methodology explains; As a reference, the logistics performance index is analyzed, a study supported by the World Bank, where an analysis of Colombia is carried out with respect to different countries in different hemispheres of the globe. Here it can be seen how countries with efficient logistics can link companies with national and international markets, efficiency in customs clearance, shipments, quality of infrastructure and punctuality of shipments are important criteria when evaluating the logistics operations of the different countries. The Information Flow Diagram, Service Flow Diagram and Money Flow Diagram are designed for the secretariat, in order to highlight the importance of inventory management, since you must know what you have, its location, value and demand, necessary to meet the needs of customers. The Bullwhip Effect will be applied to the study company, in search of the causes and strategies to understand and avoid this phenomenon, here the demand plays a determining role that can generate delays, amplification and distortion of the signals of the clients' needs. The organization's inventory management will be evaluated, building strategies that lead to better inventory management, studying the benefits of different inventories such as centralized or decentralized, touching on the fundamentals of demand forecasting and thus recommending an inventory management model. more convenient for the organization

Genomic epidemiology supports multiple introductions and cryptic transmission of Zika virus in Colombia

BACKGROUND: Colombia was the second most affected country during the American Zika virus (ZIKV) epidemic, with over 109,000 reported cases. Despite the scale of the outbreak, limited genomic sequence data were available from Colombia. We sought to sequence additional samples and use genomic epidemiology to describe ZIKV dynamics in Colombia. METHODS: We sequenced ZIKV genomes directly from clinical diagnostic specimens and infected Aedes aegypti samples selected to cover the temporal and geographic breadth of the Colombian outbreak. We performed phylogeographic analysis of these genomes, along with other publicly-available ZIKV genomes from the Americas, to estimate the frequency and timing of ZIKV introductions to Colombia. RESULTS: We attempted PCR amplification on 184 samples; 19 samples amplified sufficiently to perform sequencing. Of these, 8 samples yielded sequences with at least 50% coverage. Our phylogeographic reconstruction indicates two separate introductions of ZIKV to Colombia, one of which was previously unrecognized. We find that ZIKV was first introduced to Colombia in February 2015 (95%CI: Jan 2015 - Apr 2015), corresponding to 5 to 8 months of cryptic ZIKV transmission prior to confirmation in September 2015. Despite the presence of multiple introductions, we find that the majority of Colombian ZIKV diversity descends from a single introduction. We find evidence for movement of ZIKV from Colombia into bordering countries, including Peru, Ecuador, Panama, and Venezuela. CONCLUSIONS: Similarly to genomic epidemiological studies of ZIKV dynamics in other countries, we find that ZIKV circulated cryptically in Colombia. More accurately dating when ZIKV was circulating refines our definition of the population at risk. Additionally, our finding that the majority of ZIKV transmission within Colombia was attributable to transmission between individuals, rather than repeated travel-related importations, indicates that improved detection and control might have succeeded in limiting the scale of the outbreak within Colombia

Effectiveness of an intervention for improving drug prescription in primary care patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy:Study protocol of a cluster randomized clinical trial (Multi-PAP project)

This study was funded by the Fondo de Investigaciones Sanitarias ISCIII (Grant Numbers PI15/00276, PI15/00572, PI15/00996), REDISSEC (Project Numbers RD12/0001/0012, RD16/0001/0005), and the European Regional Development Fund ("A way to build Europe").Background: Multimorbidity is associated with negative effects both on people's health and on healthcare systems. A key problem linked to multimorbidity is polypharmacy, which in turn is associated with increased risk of partly preventable adverse effects, including mortality. The Ariadne principles describe a model of care based on a thorough assessment of diseases, treatments (and potential interactions), clinical status, context and preferences of patients with multimorbidity, with the aim of prioritizing and sharing realistic treatment goals that guide an individualized management. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a complex intervention that implements the Ariadne principles in a population of young-old patients with multimorbidity and polypharmacy. The intervention seeks to improve the appropriateness of prescribing in primary care (PC), as measured by the medication appropriateness index (MAI) score at 6 and 12months, as compared with usual care. Methods/Design: Design:pragmatic cluster randomized clinical trial. Unit of randomization: family physician (FP). Unit of analysis: patient. Scope: PC health centres in three autonomous communities: Aragon, Madrid, and Andalusia (Spain). Population: patients aged 65-74years with multimorbidity (≥3 chronic diseases) and polypharmacy (≥5 drugs prescribed in ≥3months). Sample size: n=400 (200 per study arm). Intervention: complex intervention based on the implementation of the Ariadne principles with two components: (1) FP training and (2) FP-patient interview. Outcomes: MAI score, health services use, quality of life (Euroqol 5D-5L), pharmacotherapy and adherence to treatment (Morisky-Green, Haynes-Sackett), and clinical and socio-demographic variables. Statistical analysis: primary outcome is the difference in MAI score between T0 and T1 and corresponding 95% confidence interval. Adjustment for confounding factors will be performed by multilevel analysis. All analyses will be carried out in accordance with the intention-to-treat principle. Discussion: It is essential to provide evidence concerning interventions on PC patients with polypharmacy and multimorbidity, conducted in the context of routine clinical practice, and involving young-old patients with significant potential for preventing negative health outcomes.

DMTs and Covid-19 severity in MS: a pooled analysis from Italy and France

We evaluated the effect of DMTs on Covid-19 severity in patients with MS, with a pooled-analysis of two large cohorts from Italy and France. The association of baseline characteristics and DMTs with Covid-19 severity was assessed by multivariate ordinal-logistic models and pooled by a fixed-effect meta-analysis. 1066 patients with MS from Italy and 721 from France were included. In the multivariate model, anti-CD20 therapies were significantly associated (OR = 2.05, 95%CI = 1.39–3.02, p < 0.001) with Covid-19 severity, whereas interferon indicated a decreased risk (OR = 0.42, 95%CI = 0.18–0.99, p = 0.047). This pooled-analysis confirms an increased risk of severe Covid-19 in patients on anti-CD20 therapies and supports the protective role of interferon

Socializing One Health: an innovative strategy to investigate social and behavioral risks of emerging viral threats

In an effort to strengthen global capacity to prevent, detect, and control infectious diseases in animals and people, the United States Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Emerging Pandemic Threats (EPT) PREDICT project funded development of regional, national, and local One Health capacities for early disease detection, rapid response, disease control, and risk reduction. From the outset, the EPT approach was inclusive of social science research methods designed to understand the contexts and behaviors of communities living and working at human-animal-environment interfaces considered high-risk for virus emergence. Using qualitative and quantitative approaches, PREDICT behavioral research aimed to identify and assess a range of socio-cultural behaviors that could be influential in zoonotic disease emergence, amplification, and transmission. This broad approach to behavioral risk characterization enabled us to identify and characterize human activities that could be linked to the transmission dynamics of new and emerging viruses. This paper provides a discussion of implementation of a social science approach within a zoonotic surveillance framework. We conducted in-depth ethnographic interviews and focus groups to better understand the individual- and community-level knowledge, attitudes, and practices that potentially put participants at risk for zoonotic disease transmission from the animals they live and work with, across 6 interface domains. When we asked highly-exposed individuals (ie. bushmeat hunters, wildlife or guano farmers) about the risk they perceived in their occupational activities, most did not perceive it to be risky, whether because it was normalized by years (or generations) of doing such an activity, or due to lack of information about potential risks. Integrating the social sciences allows investigations of the specific human activities that are hypothesized to drive disease emergence, amplification, and transmission, in order to better substantiate behavioral disease drivers, along with the social dimensions of infection and transmission dynamics. Understanding these dynamics is critical to achieving health security--the protection from threats to health-- which requires investments in both collective and individual health security. Involving behavioral sciences into zoonotic disease surveillance allowed us to push toward fuller community integration and engagement and toward dialogue and implementation of recommendations for disease prevention and improved health security

Comparative Analysis in The Field of Entrepreneurship Education in High School in Colombia And Ecuador

The purpose of this paper is to present a comparative study about the processes in the field of entrepreneurship education in high school in Colombia and Ecuador. It seeks to understand the actions which have been carried out in both countries, contrasting ways of implementation of the entrepreneurship class and identify legal aspects that support the training. This research in comparative education was based on documentary analysis of legislation, curriculum and guidelines, which allowed an approach to two countries with similar profiles in the educational, social and economic sphere, but with different realities. Among the findings obtained in this study, it could be mentioned, the existence of specific laws about the incorporation of entrepreneurship in schools, in addition to its mandatory implementation at certain levels of high school, besides the need for a unified curriculum standards
