Emociones de profesores de matemáticas: un estudio exploratorio

En matemática educativa más allá de la amplia investigación sobre ansiedad matemática de profesores en pre-servicio y en servicio muy poco se sabe de las emociones discretas de los profesores de matemáticas en pre-servicio y en servicio. Para empezar a llenar este hueco el presente estudio exploratorio tiene el objetivo de identificar las emociones de maestros. Para la toma de los datos aplicamos un cuestionario a 13 profesores de preparatoria en servicio. Los resultados muestran que las emociones de cada uno de los profesores son desencadenadas por su valoración de las situaciones en función, principalmente, de la deseabilidad de la meta de persecución activa ‘que los estudiantes aprendan’ y por las metas de interés subordinadas de ‘que los estudiantes se interesen en la clase’ y ‘que los estudiantes participen en la clase’

RACISMO Y SEGREGACIÓN EN COLOMBIA: SALUD, EDUCACIÓN Y TRABAJO EN LA POBLACIÓN AFRODESCENDIENTE DEL PACÍFICO

This article seeks to analyze the evidence found through a bibliographic review, about the manifestation of racial segregation and vulnerability of Afro-descendants of the Colombian Pacific in the areas of employment, health and education. Likewise, the data and information found in each of the areas are contrasted with what is stated in the theories of Human Rights and the Center-Periphery theory that are analyzed throughout the article. The foregoing, to achieve a better understanding of how racism affects the full development of these human rights for this community, and to expose the differential dynamics that the Pacific experiences as a periphery compared to the country's large cities as centers. Finally, the conclusions on the relationship between skin color and geographic location with quality of life, socio-economic development and compliance with the human rights of this population are presented.Este artículo busca analizar las evidencias encontradas por medio de una revisión bibliográfica, acerca de la manifestación de la segregación racial y vulnerabilidad de los afrodescendientes del pacífico colombiano en las áreas de empleo, salud y educación. Así mismo, se contrastan los datos encontrados en cada una de las áreas con lo planteado en las teorías de Derechos Humanos y la teoría de Centro-Periferia que se analizan a lo largo del artículo. Lo anterior, en pro de lograr un mejor entendimiento sobre cómo el racismo afecta al desarrollo pleno de estos derechos humanos para esta comunidad, y exponer las dinámicas diferenciales que experimenta el Pacífico como periferia frente a las grandes ciudades del país como centros. Finalmente, se exponen las conclusiones sobre la relación existente entre el color de la piel y la ubicación geográfica con la calidad de vida, el desarrollo socioeconómico y el cumplimiento de los derechos humanos de esta población

Clinical Characteristics and Risk Factors For Mortality During the \u27First Wave\u27 of COVID-19 In Reynosa, Tamaulipas

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted public health in Mexico. As of February 2020, there have been at least four waves of contagion that resulted in 5.82 million positive cases and more than 325 thousand deaths. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, hospital and population-based information was available, frequently with non-specific symptoms. Little was known about the risk factors for mortality in specific conditions. We described the clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 in Reynosa, Tamaulipas during 2020 and identified the risk factors for mortality. Methods: The COVID-19 cases registered from March to November 2020 in Reynosa were divided into survivors and non-survivors. The study had a retrospective cohort design. Data was obtained from the platform of the Respiratory Disease Surveillance System (SISVER), belonging to the National Epidemiological Surveillance System (SINAVE) of the Mexican Ministry of Health (https://sinave.gob.mx/). The variables considered were the age and gender of each patient. Twenty-five symptoms were included (fever, cough, headache, myalgia, arthralgia, among others); the outcome variable was the detection of COVID-19. Associated comorbidities were diabetes, obesity, hypertension, among others. The outcome variable was mortality. Data were analyzed using χ2 tests, Mann-Whitney tests, principal component analysis, and the Cox regression model. Results:The highest number of COVID-19 cases and deaths was observed in July, in men between 36-40 years old. The most frequent symptoms (37-51%) were headache, fever, cough, myalgia, and arthralgia. Clinical characteristics between survivors and non-survivors were significant (P Conclusions: The most frequent symptoms in positive COVID-19 patients in Reynosa during 2020 were headache, fever, cough, myalgia, and arthralgia. Age, gender and diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, COPD, and CKD increase mortality. The factors with the highest risk of death were age over 80 years, admitted to the ICU or intubated

Monitoring of hepatitis E virus in zoo animals from Spain, 2007–2021

Hepatitis E virus (HEV, family Hepeviridae) is an important emerging and zoonotic pathogen. In recent decades, the number of human cases of zoonotic hepatitis E has increased considerably in industrialized countries and HEV has been detected in an expanding range of mammal species. Although domestic pigs and wild boar are considered the main reservoirs of zoonotic HEV genotypes, the role of other susceptible animals in the epidemiology of the virus is still poorly understood. A large-scale, long-term study was carried out (1) to assess HEV exposure in captive zoo animals in Spain and (2) to determine the dynamics of seropositivity in individuals that were sampled longitudinally during the study period. Between 2007 and 2021, serum samples from 425 zoo animals belonging to 109 animal species (including artiodactyls, carnivores, perissodactyls, proboscideans and rodents) were collected from 11 different zoological parks in Spain. Forty-six of these animals at seven of these zoos were also longitudinally sampled. Anti-HEV antibodies were detected in 36 (8.5%; 95% CI: 5.8–11.1) of 425 sampled zoo animals. Specific antibodies against HEV-3 and HEV-C1 antigens were confirmed in ELISA-positive animals using western blot assay. Two of 46 longitudinally surveyed animals seroconverted during the study period. Seropositivity was significantly higher in carnivores and perissodactyls than in artiodactyls, and also during the period 2012–2016 compared with 2007–2011. HEV RNA was not detected in any of the 262 animals that could be tested by RT-PCR. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first large-scale, long-term surveillance on HEV in different orders of zoo mammals. Our results indicate exposure to HEV-3 and HEV-C1 in zoo animals in Spain and confirm a widespread but not homogeneous spatiotemporal circulation of HEV in captive species in this country. Further studies are required to determine the role of zoo species, particularly carnivores and perissodactyls, in the epidemiology of HEV and to clarify the origins of infection in zoological parks

Geometric Particle Swarm Optimization for Multi-objective Optimization Using Decomposition

Multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) based on decomposition are aggregation-based algorithms which transform a multi-objective optimization problem (MOP) into several single-objective subproblems. Being effective, efficient, and easy to implement, Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has become one of the most popular single-objective optimizers for continuous problems, and recently it has been successfully extended to the multi-objective domain. However, no investigation on the application of PSO within a multi-objective decomposition framework exists in the context of combinatorial optimization. This is precisely the focus of the paper. More specifically, we study the incorporation of Geometric Particle Swarm Optimization (GPSO), a discrete generalization of PSO that has proven successful on a number of single-objective combinatorial problems, into a decomposition approach. We conduct experiments on manyobjective 1/0 knapsack problems i.e. problems with more than three objectives functions, substantially harder than multi-objective problems with fewer objectives. The results indicate that the proposed multi-objective GPSO based on decomposition is able to outperform two version of the wellknow MOEA based on decomposition (MOEA/D) and the most recent version of the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-III), which are state-of-the-art multi-objective evolutionary approaches based on decomposition

Detection of cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2 within basal ganglia output neurons in macaques: changes following experimental parkinsonism

Abstract Although type 1 cannabinoid receptors (CB1- Rs) are expressed abundantly throughout the brain, the presence of type 2 cannabinoid receptors (CB2Rs) in neurons is still somewhat controversial. Taking advantage of newly designed CB1R and CB2R mRNA riboprobes, we demonstrate by PCR and in situ hybridization that transcripts for both cannabinoid receptors are present within labeled pallidothalamic-projecting neurons of control and MPTP-treated macaques, whereas the expression is markedly reduced in dyskinetic animals. Moreover, an in situ proximity ligation assay was used to qualitatively assess the presence of CB1Rs and CB2Rs, as well as CB1R–CB2R heteromers within basal ganglia output neurons in all animal groups (control, parkinsonian and dyskinetic macaques). A marked reduction in the number of CB1Rs, CB2Rs and CB1R–CB2R heteromers was found in dyskinetic animals, mimicking the observed reduction in CB1R and CB2R mRNA expression levels. The fact that chronic levodopa treatment disrupted CB1R–CB2R heteromeric complexes should be taken into consideration when designing new drugs acting on cannabinoid receptor heteromers
