    La dimensión transformadora del Derecho Educativo se manifiesta como un ámbito bifásico que se retroalimenta entre sí: El Derecho Educativo orienta los principios de los servicios de enseñanza, mientras que la célere dinámica de realidad social establece la demanda de la adaptación de las estructuras normativas. Durante la pandemia por COVID-19, en muchos casos, las fuentes jurídicas se transformaron para responder a la actual dinámica educativa; mientras que, en otros casos, el Derecho Educativo influenció la transformación de las diferentes modalidades prestacionales de los servicios de enseñanza para buscar su accesibilidad, equidad y calidad. A través de la presente publicación, se han reunido los aportes de veintinueve personas académicas en Brasil, Costa Rica, Cuba, España, México y Portugal; en los cuales se ha discutido la necesidad de transformar los servicios prestacionales de la Educación a través del Derecho Educativo, por medio de políticas públicas, programas institucionales, reformas y actualizaciones normativas, en aras de responder a las necesidades actuales de una sociedad dinámica, cambiante y globalizada.The transformative dimension of Education Law is manifested as a biphasic field that feeds each other: Education Law guides the principles of educational services, while the fast dynamics of social reality sets the demand for the adaptation of normative structures. During the COVID-19 pandemic, in many cases, legal sources were transformed to respond to the current educational dynamics; while, in other cases, Education Law influenced the transformation of the different provision modalities of education services to seek their accessibility, equity and quality. Through this publication, the contributions of twenty-nine academics in Brazil, Costa Rica, Cuba, Spain, Mexico and Portugal have been gathered; in which the need to transform educational services through Education Law has been discussed, through public policies, institutional programs, reforms and normative updates, in order to respond to the current needs of a dynamic, changing and globalized society.A dimensão transformadora do Direito Educativo se manifesta como um âmbito bifásico que se retroalimenta mutuamente: O Direito Educativo orienta os princípios dos serviços de ensino, enquanto a célere dinâmica da realidade social estabelece a exigência de adaptação das estruturas regulatórias.

    Global attitudes in the management of acute appendicitis during COVID-19 pandemic: ACIE Appy Study

    No full text
    Background: Surgical strategies are being adapted to face the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations on the management of acute appendicitis have been based on expert opinion, but very little evidence is available. This study addressed that dearth with a snapshot of worldwide approaches to appendicitis. Methods: The Association of Italian Surgeons in Europe designed an online survey to assess the current attitude of surgeons globally regarding the management of patients with acute appendicitis during the pandemic. Questions were divided into baseline information, hospital organization and screening, personal protective equipment, management and surgical approach, and patient presentation before versus during the pandemic. Results: Of 744 answers, 709 (from 66 countries) were complete and were included in the analysis. Most hospitals were treating both patients with and those without COVID. There was variation in screening indications and modality used, with chest X-ray plus molecular testing (PCR) being the commonest (19\ub78 per cent). Conservative management of complicated and uncomplicated appendicitis was used by 6\ub76 and 2\ub74 per cent respectively before, but 23\ub77 and 5\ub73 per cent, during the pandemic (both P < 0\ub7001). One-third changed their approach from laparoscopic to open surgery owing to the popular (but evidence-lacking) advice from expert groups during the initial phase of the pandemic. No agreement on how to filter surgical smoke plume during laparoscopy was identified. There was an overall reduction in the number of patients admitted with appendicitis and one-third felt that patients who did present had more severe appendicitis than they usually observe. Conclusion: Conservative management of mild appendicitis has been possible during the pandemic. The fact that some surgeons switched to open appendicectomy may reflect the poor guidelines that emanated in the early phase of SARS-CoV-2

    International audienceSince the initial data taking of the CERN LHC, the CMS experiment has undergone substantial upgrades and improvements. This paper discusses the CMS detector as it is configured for the third data-taking period of the CERN LHC, Run 3, which started in 2022. The entire silicon pixel tracking detector was replaced. A new powering system for the superconducting solenoid was installed. The electronics of the hadron calorimeter was upgraded. All the muon electronic systems were upgraded, and new muon detector stations were added, including a gas electron multiplier detector. The precision proton spectrometer was upgraded. The dedicated luminosity detectors and the beam loss monitor were refurbished. Substantial improvements to the trigger, data acquisition, software, and computing systems were also implemented, including a new hybrid CPU/GPU farm for the high-level trigger

    Search for high-mass exclusive diphoton production with tagged protons in proton-proton collisions at s= \sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

    No full text
    A search is presented for high-mass exclusive diphoton production via photon-photon fusion in proton-proton collisions at s= \sqrt{s} = 13 TeV in events where both protons survive the interaction. The analysis utilizes data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 103 fb1 ^{-1} collected in 2016--2018 with the central CMS detector and the CMS and TOTEM precision proton spectrometer (PPS). Events that have two photons with high transverse momenta (pTγ> p_{\mathrm{T}}^{\gamma} > 100 GeV), back-to-back in azimuth, and with a large diphoton invariant mass (mγγ> m_{\gamma\gamma} > 350 GeV) are selected. To remove the dominant inclusive diphoton backgrounds, the kinematic properties of the protons detected in PPS are required to match those of the central diphoton system. Only events having opposite-side forward protons detected with a fractional momentum loss between 0.035 and 0.15 (0.18) for the detectors on the negative (positive) side of CMS are considered. One exclusive diphoton candidate is observed for an expected background of 1.1 events. Limits at 95% confidence level are derived for the four-photon anomalous coupling parameters ζ1 |\zeta_1| 100 GeV), back-to-back in azimuth, and with a large diphoton invariant mass (mγγ>m_{\gamma\gamma} \gt 350 GeV) are selected. To remove the dominant inclusive diphoton backgrounds, the kinematic properties of the protons detected in PPS are required to match those of the central diphoton system. Only events having opposite-side forward protons detected with a fractional momentum loss between 0.035 and 0.15 (0.18) for the detectors on the negative (positive) side of CMS are considered. One exclusive diphoton candidate is observed for an expected background of 1.1 events. Limits at 95% confidence level are derived for the four-photon anomalous coupling parameters ζ1<\lvert\zeta_1\rvert \lt 0.073 TeV4^{-4} and ζ2<\lvert\zeta_2\rvert \lt 0.15 TeV4^{-4}, using an effective field theory. Additionally, upper limits are placed on the production of axion-like particles with coupling strength to photons f1f^{-1} that varies from 0.03 TeV1^{-1} to 1 TeV1^{-1} over the mass range from 500 to 2000 GeV

    Nonresonant central exclusive production of charged-hadron pairs in proton-proton collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 13 TeV

    No full text
    International audienceThe central exclusive production of charged-hadron pairs in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13\TeV is examined, based on data collected in a special high-β\beta^* run of the LHC. The nonresonant continuum processes are studied with the invariant mass of the centrally produced two-pion system in the resonance-free region, mπ+πm_{\pi^+\pi^-}<\lt 0.7 GeV or mπ+πm_{\pi^+\pi^-}>\gt 1.8 GeV. Differential cross sections as functions of the azimuthal angle between the surviving protons, squared exchanged four-momenta, and mπ+πm_{\pi^+\pi^-} are measured in a wide region of scattered proton transverse momenta, between 0.2 and 0.8 GeV, and for pion rapidities y\lvert y\rvert<\lt 2. A rich structure of interactions related to double-pomeron exchange is observed. A parabolic minimum in the distribution of the two-proton azimuthal angle is observed for the first time. It can be interpreted as an effect of additional pomeron exchanges between the protons from the interference between the bare and the rescattered amplitudes. After model tuning, various physical quantities are determined that are related to the pomeron cross section, proton-pomeron and meson-pomeron form factors, pomeron trajectory and intercept, and coefficients of diffractive eigenstates of the proton
