experiences, research reports, and reflections about social issues,
language teaching, teaching training, interculturality under the
panorama of the Covid-19 pandemic. Each paper invites the reader
to implement changes in their teaching practice through
disruptive pedagogies, reflect on the social and emotional
consequences of the lockdown, new paths for teacher training and
different approaches for teaching interculturality. We expect to
inspire new ways to train pre-service teachers and teach
languages in this changing times
El ejercicio responsable de la ciberciudadanía
Digital citizenship, e-citizenship or cyber-citizenship is the ethical,
active, secure and responsible use of information and communication technologies,
mainly Internet and Social Media, for a digital and responsible
political participation. This paper describes the work of a group of
students and teachers in the learning process of how to be digital responsible
citizens. Teachers and students were involved in active field experiences
and focal groups as a methodological approach. The results are
described through student experiences in the use of technology in the
exercise of their digital citizenship.La ciudadanía digital, e-ciudadanía o ciberciudadanía, consiste
en el uso y aprovechamiento de las tecnologías de información y comunicación,
el internet y las redes sociales de manera ética, segura,
responsable y activa. Pero, sobre todo, consiste en una participación
política digital responsable. Este trabajo describe la labor de un grupo
de profesores y alumnos en el aprendizaje de una ciudadanía digital
responsable. La metodología empleada ha sido el trabajo de campo y
los grupos focales. Los resultados se describen con base en las experiencias
vividas directamente por los estudiantes en el uso de la tecnología
en el ejercicio de su ciudadanía
La evaluación colegiada de las competencias básicas en la Comunidad Autónoma de Canarias : hacia un modelo de escuela inclusiva y sostenible
Precede al título: Educación Primaria y Educación Secundaria ObligatoriaLa Ley Orgánica de Educación (LOE) introduce el concepto de «competencias básicas» como eje articulador del currículo, conectando de pleno con las reflexiones y las estrategias que se están desarrollando en otros sistemas educativos internacionales a la luz del informe Delors (1996), el documento DeSeCo (Definición y Selección de Competencias fundamentales) elaborado por la OCDE, de las evaluaciones PISA (Programa para la Evaluación Internacional del Alumnado), etc. Esta propuesta centra el foco en la dimensión formativa de la «evaluación», aspecto inacabado con la LOGSE (Ley Orgánica General del Sistema Educativo), a pesar de los esfuerzos realizados en esa dirección. Trabajar en las aulas para la consecución de las «competencias básicas» lleva ineludiblemente al problema de cómo evaluarlas de forma colegiada —cuando la propia ordenación del sistema educativo fragmenta cada una de las enseñanzas en diferentes áreas o materias— y de cómo emplear la información que proporciona esta labor para hacer valer el sentido formativo y regulador que debe tener la evaluación de las competencias básicas.Consejería de Educación y Universidades.

COVID-19 in hospitalized HIV-positive and HIV-negative patients : A matched study
CatedresObjectives: We compared the characteristics and clinical outcomes of hospitalized individuals with COVID-19 with [people with HIV (PWH)] and without (non-PWH) HIV co-infection in Spain during the first wave of the pandemic. Methods: This was a retrospective matched cohort study. People with HIV were identified by reviewing clinical records and laboratory registries of 10 922 patients in active-follow-up within the Spanish HIV Research Network (CoRIS) up to 30 June 2020. Each hospitalized PWH was matched with five non-PWH of the same age and sex randomly selected from COVID-19@Spain, a multicentre cohort of 4035 patients hospitalized with confirmed COVID-19. The main outcome was all-cause in-hospital mortality. Results: Forty-five PWH with PCR-confirmed COVID-19 were identified in CoRIS, 21 of whom were hospitalized. A total of 105 age/sex-matched controls were selected from the COVID-19@Spain cohort. The median age in both groups was 53 (Q1-Q3, 46-56) years, and 90.5% were men. In PWH, 19.1% were injecting drug users, 95.2% were on antiretroviral therapy, 94.4% had HIV-RNA < 50 copies/mL, and the median (Q1-Q3) CD4 count was 595 (349-798) cells/μL. No statistically significant differences were found between PWH and non-PWH in number of comorbidities, presenting signs and symptoms, laboratory parameters, radiology findings and severity scores on admission. Corticosteroids were administered to 33.3% and 27.4% of PWH and non-PWH, respectively (P = 0.580). Deaths during admission were documented in two (9.5%) PWH and 12 (11.4%) non-PWH (P = 0.800). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that well-controlled HIV infection does not modify the clinical presentation or worsen clinical outcomes of COVID-19 hospitalization
How do women living with HIV experience menopause? Menopausal symptoms, anxiety and depression according to reproductive age in a multicenter cohort
CatedresBackground: To estimate the prevalence and severity of menopausal symptoms and anxiety/depression and to assess the differences according to menopausal status among women living with HIV aged 45-60 years from the cohort of Spanish HIV/AIDS Research Network (CoRIS). Methods: Women were interviewed by phone between September 2017 and December 2018 to determine whether they had experienced menopausal symptoms and anxiety/depression. The Menopause Rating Scale was used to evaluate the prevalence and severity of symptoms related to menopause in three subscales: somatic, psychologic and urogenital; and the 4-item Patient Health Questionnaire was used for anxiety/depression. Logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios (ORs) of association between menopausal status, and other potential risk factors, the presence and severity of somatic, psychological and urogenital symptoms and of anxiety/depression. Results: Of 251 women included, 137 (54.6%) were post-, 70 (27.9%) peri- and 44 (17.5%) pre-menopausal, respectively. Median age of onset menopause was 48 years (IQR 45-50). The proportions of pre-, peri- and post-menopausal women who had experienced any menopausal symptoms were 45.5%, 60.0% and 66.4%, respectively. Both peri- and post-menopause were associated with a higher likelihood of having somatic symptoms (aOR 3.01; 95% CI 1.38-6.55 and 2.63; 1.44-4.81, respectively), while post-menopause increased the likelihood of having psychological (2.16; 1.13-4.14) and urogenital symptoms (2.54; 1.42-4.85). By other hand, post-menopausal women had a statistically significant five-fold increase in the likelihood of presenting severe urogenital symptoms than pre-menopausal women (4.90; 1.74-13.84). No significant differences by menopausal status were found for anxiety/depression. Joint/muscle problems, exhaustion and sleeping disorders were the most commonly reported symptoms among all women. Differences in the prevalences of vaginal dryness (p = 0.002), joint/muscle complaints (p = 0.032), and sweating/flush (p = 0.032) were found among the three groups. Conclusions: Women living with HIV experienced a wide variety of menopausal symptoms, some of them initiated before women had any menstrual irregularity. We found a higher likelihood of somatic symptoms in peri- and post-menopausal women, while a higher likelihood of psychological and urogenital symptoms was found in post-menopausal women. Most somatic symptoms were of low or moderate severity, probably due to the good clinical and immunological situation of these women

ENGIU: Encuentro Nacional de Grupos de Investigación de UNIMINUTO.
El desarrollo del prototipo para el sistema de detección de Mina Antipersona
(MAP), inicia desde el semillero ADSSOF perteneciente al programa de Administración en Seguridad y Salud en el trabajo de la UNIMINUTO, se realiza a partir de un
detector de metales que emite una señal audible, que el usuario puede interpretar
como aviso de presencia de un objeto metálico, en este caso una MAP. La señal
audible se interpreta como un dato, como ese dato no es perceptible a 5 metros de
distancia, se implementa el transmisor de Frecuencia Modulada FM por la facilidad
de modulación y la escogencia de frecuencia de transmisión de acuerdo con las
normas y resolución del Ministerio de Comunicaciones; de manera que esta sea la
plataforma base para enviar los datos obtenidos a una frecuencia establecida. La
idea es que el ser humano no explore zonas peligrosas y buscar la forma de crear
un sistema que permita eliminar ese riesgo, por otro lado, buscar la facilidad de uso
de elementos ya disponibles en el mercado
