The Curricular Practices of Early Childhood Teachers Working in Public Sschool Primary Grades.

Little is known about the curricular practices or thinking of early childhood teachers attempting to use developmentally appropriate practices in public school primary grades. The purpose of this study was to investigate four primary grade teachers\u27 thoughts and classroom practices, through observation, interviews, and classroom schedules. Data were analyzed following the procedures for open, axial, and selective coding as explained by Strauss (1987). All four teachers exhibited common elements: educational beliefs consistent with those of the National Association for the Education of Young Children; frustration with their school\u27s curriculum; and the combination of a rich pattern of guidance strategies in the use of whole group math and language instruction. The curricular practices are viewed as a compromise between the teachers\u27 personal beliefs and the expectations of their schools. They reflect the historical difficulty of using a child-centered curriculum in a public school setting

Modificación del Artículo 81 del Código de los Niños y Adolescentes para establecer en él la tenencia compartida como un sistema legal en el distrito judicial de Lambayeque, Período 2012-2013

De acuerdo a la problemática del artículo 81 del código de los niños y adolescentes se requiere de la modificatoria de dicho artículo incorporando a la tenencia compartida como un sistema legal que se pueda establecer de manera inmediata al momento de determinarse la tenencia de los hijos ante una separación o divorcio. El problema resulta de que nuestra legislación no estipula a la tenencia compartida en nuestra normatividad por lo que genera consecuencias negativas al romper su relación con el otro progenitor, ya que ellos siempre suele quedarse bajo el cuidado de la madre limitando al padre a gozar de un régimen de visitas y abonar una pensión de alimentos en favor del menor, restringiendo la relación con el padre. La solución al problema sería modificar el artículo 81 del código de los niños y adolescentes y establecer la tenencia compartida como un sistema legal ante una separación conyugal para que ellos de manera conjunta velen por la salud, integridad y desarrollo emocional del menor de tal manera que no perjudiquen a sus descendientes y así puedan evitar que sufra o altere sus emociones, ideas y pensamientos protegiendo siempre el interés superior del niño. De esta manera se lograría prescindir de lo que ya estamos acostumbrados a solo aplicar la tenencia monoparental, ya que en el Perú suele otorgarse la tenencia de los menores a la madre limitando los derechos del padre.Tesi

Purificación Del Aire Ambiente Interior En La Fábrica De Productos Lácteos “Quesos Latacunga” , Cotopaxi, Ecuador

The purification of the internal ambient air of the "Latacunga Cheese" factory was studied by the application of ozone. It is an energetic oxidizing agent which is able to kill the microorganisms present in the medium where it is found. It is applied in its appropriate doses with the aim of purifying the air environment of the workshop. The concentrations of fungi and bacteria found before the application of ozone were higher than that allowed by the Spanish legislation "UNE 100012 Hygiene of systems". Among the fungi identified were Aspergillus sp., Penicilium sp., Scopulariopsis sp., Fusarium sp., and Cladosporium sp. The major bacteria identified were Staphylococcus sp., Streptococcus sp., Bacillus sp., Streptomyces sp., and Enterobacter agglomerans. The main material used for the treatment of indoor air with ozone was a SEFILTRA purifier. This purifier, however, generates an ozonated air flow rate of 2 dm3 / min with an ozone concentration in air of 9.5 g / m3. This means it has an ozone charge of about 1.14 g / hr. A High Efficiency Particle Arresting (99.995%) filter was used to measure microbial air content before and after treatment. After an hour of application of ozone, the reduction of fungi was sufficient to ensure that its presence was complied with the maximum limit established in the legislation in question. However, this does not happen with bacteria which needs about 25 minutes more to conclude which is the same as for fungi

La imagen y la narrativa como herramientas para el abordaje psicosocial en escenarios de violencia. Departamento Sucre

La Violencia desarrollada en el contexto colombiano, ha dejado grandes afectaciones psicosociales en la población, en este sentido se hace necesario que desde la psicología se establezca una acción psicosocial que busque mejorar las condiciones de vida de la población. La acción psicosocial, está relacionada con la comprensión del ser humano desde los diversos puntos de vista, como lo son el social, cultural, biológico, y psicológico, la cual nos facilitará el acompañamiento a las víctimas del desplazamiento forzado, quienes vivieron experiencias de dolor que generaron en ellas afectaciones como irritabilidad, depresión, conflictos familiares entre otros, lo que conlleva a desmejorar la calidad de vida. Lo que obliga a crea estrategias psicosociales que actúen como una guía ética y metodológica para la atención de tal situación social y para las relaciones con las personas, grupos y comunidades cuyos derechos han sido vulnerados. En este documento se evidencian varios impactos psicosociales en las comunidades ante el duelo por las pérdidas que ocasionó la violencia, de igual forma el drama producto del desplazamiento y las muestras de indolencia de los entornos donde tuvo que llegar manifestados en la marginación. También se reconoce aspectos positivos que han surgido a raíz de esta situación de violencia vivida por las comunidades, la Resiliencia, el apoyo de algunas pocas personas que se convierten en fortaleza para continuar en el camino de lucha pese a lo ocurrido y el amor la familia de cada uno que le permiten ver su historia de una manera esperanzadora. Se desarrolla el análisis de aspectos centrales que se encontraron en cada uno de los ejercicios realizados, con el fin de abordar los temas ubicados en la unidad, en realidad de las comunidades con las cuales se ha realizado la foto relatos o foto voz. Así mismo reconoceremos cuáles han sido los impactos Psicosociales, los emergentes psicosociales que afectan a la población que han sido víctimas de la violencia, así como los impactos de la estigmatización que han sufrido las víctimas, y buscaremos proponer acciones de apoyo en situaciones de crisis, implementando una serie de estrategias de intervención para los pobladores de Cacarica, que faciliten la potenciación de recursos de afrontamiento a la situación.The violence developed in the Colombian context, has left great psychosocial affectations in the population, in this sense it is necessary that from the psychology is established a psychosocial action that seeks to improve the living conditions of the population. Psychosocial action is related to the understanding of the human being from different points of view, such as social, cultural, biological, and psychological, which will facilitate the accompaniment of victims of forced displacement, who lived experiences of pain that generated affectations such as irritability, depression, family conflicts, among others, which leads to a deterioration in the quality of life. This forces the creation of psychosocial strategies that act as an ethical and methodological guide for the care of such a social situation and for relations with the people, groups and communities whose rights have been violated. This document shows various psychosocial impacts on the communities in the face of mourning for the losses caused by violence, as well as the drama caused by the displacement and the signs of indolence in the environments where they had to arrive, manifested in the marginalization. It also recognizes positive aspects that have arisen as a result of this situation of violence experienced by the communities, Resilience, the support of a few people who become a fortress to continue on the path of struggle despite what happened and love for the family. from each one that allow you to see their history in a hopeful way. The analysis of central aspects that were found in each one of the exercises carried out is developed, in order to address the issues located in the unit, in reality of the communities with which the photo stories or photo voice have been made. Likewise, we will recognize what the Psychosocial impacts have been, the emerging psychosocial impacts that affect the population that have been victims of violence, as well as the impacts of the stigmatization that the victims have suffered, and we will seek to propose support actions in crisis situations, implementing a series of intervention strategies for the inhabitants of Cacarica, that facilitate the empowerment of coping resources to the situation

Inflation and Dark Energy from spectroscopy at z > 2

The expansion of the Universe is understood to have accelerated during two epochs: in its very first moments during a period of Inflation and much more recently, at z < 1, when Dark Energy is hypothesized to drive cosmic acceleration. The undiscovered mechanisms behind these two epochs represent some of the most important open problems in fundamental physics. The large cosmological volume at 2 < z < 5, together with the ability to efficiently target high-$z$ galaxies with known techniques, enables large gains in the study of Inflation and Dark Energy. A future spectroscopic survey can test the Gaussianity of the initial conditions up to a factor of ~50 better than our current bounds, crossing the crucial theoretical threshold of $\sigma(f_{NL}^{\rm local})$ of order unity that separates single field and multi-field models. Simultaneously, it can measure the fraction of Dark Energy at the percent level up to $z = 5$, thus serving as an unprecedented test of the standard model and opening up a tremendous discovery space

The effect of baseline cognition and delirium on long-term cognitive impairment and mortality: a prospective population-based study

BACKGROUND: There is an unmet public health need to understand better the relationship between baseline cognitive function, the occurrence and severity of delirium, and subsequent cognitive decline. Our aim was to quantify the relationship between baseline cognition and delirium and follow-up cognitive impairment. METHODS: We did a prospective longitudinal study in a stable representative community sample of adults aged 70 years or older who were registered with a Camden-based general practitioner in the London Borough of Camden (London, UK). Participants were recruited by invitation letters from general practice lists or by direct recruitment of patients from memory clinics or patients recently discharged from secondary care. We quantified baseline cognitive function with the modified Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status. In patients who were admitted to hospital, we undertook daily assessments of delirium using the Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale (MDAS). We estimated the association of pre-admission baseline cognitive function with delirium prevalence, severity, and duration. We assessed subsequent cognitive function 2 years after baseline recruitment using the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status. Regression models were adjusted by age, sex, education, illness severity, and frailty. FINDINGS: We recruited 1510 participants (median age 77 [IQR 73–82], 57% women) between March, 2017, and October, 2018. 209 participants were admitted to hospital across 371 episodes (1999 person-days of assessment). Better baseline cognition was associated with a lower risk of delirium (odds ratio 0·63, 95% CI 0·45 to 0·89) and with less severe delirium (–1·6 MDAS point, 95% CI –2·6 to –0·7). Individuals with high baseline cognition (baseline Z score +2·0 SD) had demonstrable decline even without delirium (follow-up Z score +1·2 SD). However, those with a high delirium burden had an even larger absolute decline of 2·2 SD in Z score (follow-up Z score –0·2). Once individuals had more than 2 days of moderate delirium, the rates of death over 2 years were similar regardless of baseline cognition; a better baseline cognition no longer conferred any mortality benefit. INTERPRETATION: A higher baseline cognitive function is associated with a good prognosis with regard to likelihood and severity of delirium. However, those with a high baseline cognition and with delirium had the highest degree of cognitive decline, a change similar to the decline observed in individuals with a high amyloid burden in other cohorts. Older people with a healthy baseline cognitive function who develop delirium stand to lose the most after delirium. This group could benefit from targeted cognitive rehabilitation interventions after delirium

Measurement of the Lifetime Difference Between B_s Mass Eigenstates

We present measurements of the lifetimes and polarization amplitudes for B_s --> J/psi phi and B_d --> J/psi K*0 decays. Lifetimes of the heavy (H) and light (L) mass eigenstates in the B_s system are separately measured for the first time by determining the relative contributions of amplitudes with definite CP as a function of the decay time. Using 203 +/- 15 B_s decays, we obtain tau_L = (1.05 +{0.16}/-{0.13} +/- 0.02) ps and tau_H = (2.07 +{0.58}/-{0.46} +/- 0.03) ps. Expressed in terms of the difference DeltaGamma_s and average Gamma_s, of the decay rates of the two eigenstates, the results are DeltaGamma_s/Gamma_s = (65 +{25}/-{33} +/- 1)%, and DeltaGamma_s = (0.47 +{0.19}/-{0.24} +/- 0.01) inverse ps.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables; as published in Physical Review Letters on 16 March 2005; revisions are for length and typesetting only, no changes in results or conclusion
