Influencia de las áreas del desarrollo de la psicoafectividad en el proceso de aprendizaje de niños y niñas de Preescolar Solidaridad del Sector N°20 de la Ciudad de Somoto

En años anteriores en Nicaragua no se tomaban en cuenta las áreas de la psicoafectividad en los procesos de aprendizajes en niños y niñas de Educación Inicial. En el nuevo modelo curricular se ha integrado estas áreas ya que según estudios realizados es importante que el niño y la niña en sus primeros años de vida desarrollen su creatividad, autoestima y sociabilidad para el fortalecimiento de sus aprendizajes posteriores. Por lo tanto en nuestra investigación nos proponemos promover el desarrollo de estas áreas en los procesos de aprendizajes. Como principales resultados en el proceso investigativo el 50% tiene desarrollada la sociabilidad y deben mejorar autoestima y creatividad, la docente domina el 50% de sociabilidad, autoestima y no domina la creatividad. No aplica estrategias innovadoras que promuevan la participación de los estudiantes, no está capacitada por el Ministerio de Educación en psicoafectividad. Se hace necesario mencionar que el Ministerio de Educación realiza una inadecuada organización para seleccionar las educadoras para atender la Educación Inicial, es por eso que algunas educadoras no están aplicando estrategias innovadoras ya que las que están capacitadas se encuentran en otras áreas de la educación

Geominero Museum: past, present and… the future?

[EN] The Geominero Museum is a public museum that currently depends on the IGME - CSIC National Centre. A valuable geological heritage made up of more than 100,000 specimens of fossils, minerals and rocks is kept by the Museum, whose origin dates back to the second half of the 19th century. Its objectives are to conserve, disseminate and research the richness and diversity of the palaeontological, mineralogical and petrological heritage from all Spanish regions, as well as from former Spanish colonies and some representative sites of the geological record of the world. From the 1990s until 2021, the Museum has worked in three areas: research, curation-restoration and education-dissemination. A vocational and consolidated staff has achieved to position the Museo Geominero among the national and international distinguished geological museums. However, as of Royal Decree 202/2021, 30th March, the Museum missed one of its main roles: research. The reduction in Geominero Museum staff, therefore the capacities to take on museum objectives are also reduced (see the definition of a Museum by International Council of Museums, ICOM), the current weakness of the synergies previously created between researchers, curators and disseminators and a lack of expertise staff on educational and dissemination activities, have led the Museum to become a mere exhibition space for exhibiting specimens. It does not seem a very promising future for a Museum that has been a main window to the world for such an emblematic, prestigious and a long and fruitful history institution as the Spanish Geological and Mining Institute (IGME).Peer reviewe

Clustering COVID-19 ARDS patients through the first days of ICU admission. An analysis of the CIBERESUCICOVID Cohort

Background Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) can be classified into sub-phenotypes according to different inflammatory/clinical status. Prognostic enrichment was achieved by grouping patients into hypoinflammatory or hyperinflammatory sub-phenotypes, even though the time of analysis may change the classification according to treatment response or disease evolution. We aimed to evaluate when patients can be clustered in more than 1 group, and how they may change the clustering of patients using data of baseline or day 3, and the prognosis of patients according to their evolution by changing or not the cluster.Methods Multicenter, observational prospective, and retrospective study of patients admitted due to ARDS related to COVID-19 infection in Spain. Patients were grouped according to a clustering mixed-type data algorithm (k-prototypes) using continuous and categorical readily available variables at baseline and day 3.Results Of 6205 patients, 3743 (60%) were included in the study. According to silhouette analysis, patients were grouped in two clusters. At baseline, 1402 (37%) patients were included in cluster 1 and 2341(63%) in cluster 2. On day 3, 1557(42%) patients were included in cluster 1 and 2086 (57%) in cluster 2. The patients included in cluster 2 were older and more frequently hypertensive and had a higher prevalence of shock, organ dysfunction, inflammatory biomarkers, and worst respiratory indexes at both time points. The 90-day mortality was higher in cluster 2 at both clustering processes (43.8% [n = 1025] versus 27.3% [n = 383] at baseline, and 49% [n = 1023] versus 20.6% [n = 321] on day 3). Four hundred and fifty-eight (33%) patients clustered in the first group were clustered in the second group on day 3. In contrast, 638 (27%) patients clustered in the second group were clustered in the first group on day 3.Conclusions During the first days, patients can be clustered into two groups and the process of clustering patients may change as they continue to evolve. This means that despite a vast majority of patients remaining in the same cluster, a minority reaching 33% of patients analyzed may be re-categorized into different clusters based on their progress. Such changes can significantly impact their prognosis

Clonal chromosomal mosaicism and loss of chromosome Y in elderly men increase vulnerability for SARS-CoV-2

The pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19) had an estimated overall case fatality ratio of 1.38% (pre-vaccination), being 53% higher in males and increasing exponentially with age. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, we found 133 cases (1.42%) with detectable clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations (mCA) and 226 males (5.08%) with acquired loss of chromosome Y (LOY). Individuals with clonal mosaic events (mCA and/or LOY) showed a 54% increase in the risk of COVID-19 lethality. LOY is associated with transcriptomic biomarkers of immune dysfunction, pro-coagulation activity and cardiovascular risk. Interferon-induced genes involved in the initial immune response to SARS-CoV-2 are also down-regulated in LOY. Thus, mCA and LOY underlie at least part of the sex-biased severity and mortality of COVID-19 in aging patients. Given its potential therapeutic and prognostic relevance, evaluation of clonal mosaicism should be implemented as biomarker of COVID-19 severity in elderly people. Among 9578 individuals diagnosed with COVID-19 in the SCOURGE study, individuals with clonal mosaic events (clonal mosaicism for chromosome alterations and/or loss of chromosome Y) showed an increased risk of COVID-19 lethality

The evolution of the ventilatory ratio is a prognostic factor in mechanically ventilated COVID-19 ARDS patients

Background: Mortality due to COVID-19 is high, especially in patients requiring mechanical ventilation. The purpose of the study is to investigate associations between mortality and variables measured during the first three days of mechanical ventilation in patients with COVID-19 intubated at ICU admission. Methods: Multicenter, observational, cohort study includes consecutive patients with COVID-19 admitted to 44 Spanish ICUs between February 25 and July 31, 2020, who required intubation at ICU admission and mechanical ventilation for more than three days. We collected demographic and clinical data prior to admission; information about clinical evolution at days 1 and 3 of mechanical ventilation; and outcomes. Results: Of the 2,095 patients with COVID-19 admitted to the ICU, 1,118 (53.3%) were intubated at day 1 and remained under mechanical ventilation at day three. From days 1 to 3, PaO2/FiO2 increased from 115.6 [80.0-171.2] to 180.0 [135.4-227.9] mmHg and the ventilatory ratio from 1.73 [1.33-2.25] to 1.96 [1.61-2.40]. In-hospital mortality was 38.7%. A higher increase between ICU admission and day 3 in the ventilatory ratio (OR 1.04 [CI 1.01-1.07], p = 0.030) and creatinine levels (OR 1.05 [CI 1.01-1.09], p = 0.005) and a lower increase in platelet counts (OR 0.96 [CI 0.93-1.00], p = 0.037) were independently associated with a higher risk of death. No association between mortality and the PaO2/FiO2 variation was observed (OR 0.99 [CI 0.95 to 1.02], p = 0.47). Conclusions: Higher ventilatory ratio and its increase at day 3 is associated with mortality in patients with COVID-19 receiving mechanical ventilation at ICU admission. No association was found in the PaO2/FiO2 variation

Macroscopic Description of the Fulgurite from Torre de Moncorvo (Portugal)

The rocks designated as fulgurites are the result of the action of atmospheric electrical discharges on soils or rocks. This work describes from the macroscopic point of view the Torre de Moncorvo fulgurite, as a first approach to understand the processes that originate these peculiar anecdotal rocks in the field of Petrology. The fulgurite of Torre de Moncorvo is especially interesting due to the magnitude of the formation event inferred by its size. The fulgurite is mainly composed by glassy phases, and unmelted mineral and fragments of host rocks as minor component

The chemistry and origin of the fluids related to the fluorites from "Berbes-La Cabaña" and La Collada" (Asturias)

This study evaluates a-CI-Br systematic of fluid inclusions in fluorites from "Berbes-La Cabaña" and "La Collada" districts in Asturias (N of Spain). The fluorites were formed as H20-NaCI-Ca2CI fluids represented by primary inclusions (Lwl) showing moderate salinity (Tm:-l 2.4° to -6.6°C) and homogenization temperature between 130° to 150°C. Lw2 inclusions are secondary with low salinity (Tm:-2.9 to -2.7°C) and global homogenization ranging between 130° to 135°C. Hypersaline Lw-s inclusions have distinguished in La Collada district. The high salinity of these inclusions could be explained as resulting of reequilibration processes. Comparison ofNa-CI-Br compositions show fundamental differences in halogen chemistry between two regions. Crush-leach extraction ana chemical analysis of the inclusions from "Berbes-La Cabaña fluorites reveals that the fluid chemistry is influenced by the fluid-rock interaction with Na-Ca exchange. The low concentration of Br suggest a brine derived from halite dissolution by reaction with evaporites. In contrast, Cl/ Br and Na/Br decrease strongly In brines from "La Collada" fluorites and are similar to modern seawater. These halogen ratios are consistent with solutes derived from evaporation of seawater
