Comunicación y transferencia en la co-gestión del hábitat local: el Proyecto "Hábitat 2"

El proyecto “Implementación de estrategias para la gestión local del hábitat a escala municipal” o “Hábitat 2”, surge con el objetivo de contribuir al mejoramiento de la calidad del hábitat de la población de diez municipios cubanos con cerca de medio millón de habitantes, con énfasis en la atención a grupos vulnerables y mujeres. Se pretende generar efectos que impactarán en la gestión pública de la vivienda y el hábitat; la eficiencia de la cadena productiva del hábitat; y la actualización de las políticas económicas y sociales del país en esta materia, en el periodo 2014-2019.Para el logro de los objetivos se ha desarrollado un sistema de co-gestión entre actores municipales y especialistas vinculados al tema que ha permitido el desarrollo de estrategias integrales de gestión del hábitat, el emplazamiento de maquinarias para la producción local de materiales de la construcción, ayudas a la movilidad, el acceso y almacenamiento de agua, la facilitacion de los trámites asociados a la vivienda y el hábitat de los ciudadanos, entre otras cuestiones. La gestión de la comunicacion y la transferencia tecnológica son procesos escenciales en el logro de estos resultados.Palabras claves: co-gestión, hábitat, transferencia tecnológica, comunicación

Foot health in people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy: a scoping review

Review[Abstract] Background: Chemotherapy has relevant implications for cancer patients’ physical, social, and psychological health. Foot health has gained relevance in recent years due to its importance to independence and wellbeing, especially in chronic conditions. This study aims to explore the scope of the literature regarding foot health problems in people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Methods: scoping review following the PRISMA-ScR, Arksey and O’Malley, and the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. Different databases were used (Cochrane Plus, Scopus, Web of Science, and Pubmed). A total of 4911 articles were identified. Finally, 11 papers were included. Results: Foot problems are relevant and deteriorate wellbeing. The prevalence of some podiatric pathologies is controversial. The main literature deals with hand–foot syndrome and peripheral neuropathy. Focused instruments on foot health were not thoroughly used. Conclusion: There is insufficient evidence on foot health problems and their influence on the quality of life of people with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Even though a significant percentage of this population has a foot problem, its care and importance are neglected. More studies are needed to contribute to the care of people with cancer through foot health

Compacity of soils developed over Tertiary-Quanernary sediments in the Terra Cha area (Lugo)

[Abstract] Using a gamma probe, bulk density has been measured for nine profiles from 20 cm depth to depths ranging from 90 to 15Ocm. The intent ofthis work was to assesss total porosity variability withinand between sites at an area characterized by an abrupt textural change. Bulk density values obtained at both tertiary and quaternary subsoillayers are significantly higher and show less variability between sites and also more repeteability along the time than bulk density values obtained at the surface A and B soil horizons. In addition, Hg intrusion porosimetry demonstrated a decrease of the average pore diameter with depth and thus with age of the soil and sediement materials

Экология обучения в цифровую эпоху: вызовы для высшего образования

This article is the English translation of the one already published in Spanish in 2018: González-Sanmamed, M., Sangrà, A., Souto-Seijo, A., & Estévez, I. (2018). Ecologías de aprendizaje en la Era digital: desafíos para la educación superior. Publicaciones, 48(1), 25-45. Doi:10.30827/publicaciones.v48i1.7329[Abstract] The immersion of society in the digital age has decisively influenced people’s ways of behaving, in the field of work, economy, entertainment and teaching. Higher education is undergoing a great transformation due to the technological development in which we are immersed, and these continuous changes have shown the need to keep us updated permanently, thus adopting the idea of ​​life-long learning. Each person and each professional has a wide and diverse range of possibilities to be trained and to learn, which requires individuals to take more and more control over their own learning process. The concept of learning ecologies provides a framework of analysis to know how we learn, and what contexts and/or elements we use to train ourselves, in order to provide us with new learning opportunities. Being aware of the elements and / or contexts that make up our learning ecologies can be a very useful strategy to help us update ourselves in a self-directed and effective way. This has led us to carry out a bibliographic study aimed at identifying some of the aspects that characterize the new ways in which we learn, which will allow us to understand the role that the university should play in today’s society.[Resumen] La inmersión de la sociedad en la era digital ha influido de manera decisiva en las formas de comportarse de las personas, en el ámbito del trabajo, de la economía, del entretenimiento y de la enseñanza. La educación superior está sufriendo una gran transformación debido al desarrollo tecnológico en el que estamos sumergidos, y esos continuos cambios han evidenciado la necesidad de mantenernos actualizados de forma permanente, adoptando así la idea de aprendizaje a lo largo de la vida. Cada persona tiene un abanico de posibilidades, amplio y diverso para formarse y para aprender, lo que exige a los individuos tomar cada vez más el control de su propio proceso de aprendizaje. El concepto de ecologías de aprendizaje proporciona un marco de análisis para saber cómo aprendemos, y qué contextos y/o elementos empleamos para formarnos, con el fin de proporcionarnos nuevas oportunidades de aprendizaje. Ser conscientes de los elementos y/o contextos que configuran nuestras ecologías de aprendizaje puede ser una estrategia muy útil que nos ayude a actualizarnos de forma autodirigida y efectiva. Esto nos ha llevado a realizar un estudio bibliográfico dirigido a identificar algunos de los aspectos que caracterizan las nuevas formas en que aprendemos, lo cual nos permitirá comprender el papel que debe jugar la universidad en la sociedad actual.[概要] 在数字时代的社会沉浸已经对人们在工作，经济，娱乐和教学领域的行为方式产生了决定 性的影响。 高等教育正在经历着科技发展带来的巨大变革，而这些不断的变化证明了我们 需要不断适应当前情况，采纳终身学习的理念。每个人都有各种各样的培训和学习机会， 这要求个人越来越能够掌控自己的学习进程。学习生态的概念为分析我们如何学习以及 我们运用什么背景和/或元素训练自己提供了一个框架，以便为我们提供新的学习机会。 能够意识到影响我们学习生态的要素和/或情境可以是一个非常有用的策略来帮助我们 以有效的自我指导跟上形势。由此，我们进行了一项参考书目研究，旨在确定表现我们学 习新方法的某些方面，这将使我们能够了解大学在当今社会中应发挥的作用。[Aннотация] Погружение общества в цифровую эпоху оказало решающее влияние на то, как люди ведут себя в сфере труда, экономики, развлечений и образования. Высшее образование претерпевает большие изменения в связи с технологическим развитием, в которое мы погружаемся, и эти непрерывные изменения показали необходимость постоянного обновления, тем самым принимая идею обучения на протяжении всей жизни. У каждого человека есть широкий и разнообразный спектр возможностей для обучения и познания, что требует от него все большего контроля над собственным процессом обучения. Концепция учебной экологии обеспечивает рамки для анализа того, как мы учимся и какие условия и/или элементы мы используем для обучения, с тем чтобы предоставить нам новые возможности для обучения. Знание элементов и/или контекстов, которые формируют нашу обучающую среду, может быть очень полезной стратегией, которая помогает нам обновлять себя самонаправленным и эффективным образом. Это привело нас к проведению библиографического исследования направленного на выявление некоторых аспектов, характеризующих новые методы обучения, которые позволят нам понять ту роль, которую должен играть университет в современном обществе.This article was written within the framework of the research project entitled: “Cómo aprenden los mejores docentes universitarios en la era digital: impacto de las ecologías de aprendizaje en la calidad de la docencia (How the Best University Professors Learn in the Digital Age: The Impact of Learning Ecologies on Teaching Quality) (ECO4LEARN-HE), partially funded by MINECO (Reference EDU2015-67907-R).

Concordance between Pressure Platform and Pedigraph

[Abstract] Objectives: Determine the concordance between two methods of obtaining the plantar footprint (pedigraph and pressure platform). Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional, observational study of prevalence was carried out in the social center of Cariño (Coruña), Spain (n = 65 participants). Older people without amputations or the presence of dysmetria were included. The variables studied were: sociodemographic (age, sex), anthropometric (body mass index) and footprint measurement variables. These measurements were made by obtaining the plantar footprint using two methods: pedigraph and pressure platform. Results: The mean age of the sample was 37.42 ± 15.05 years, with a predominance of the female gender (61.54%). Positive linear correlation between pedigraph and platform was observed in both feet in the Chippaux and Staheli indices (correlation coefficient > 0.3, p < 0.001 in each comparison). The reliability was good or moderate in relation with the Chippaux and Staheli index. Slightly lower coefficients were observed in the dimensions of the foot. Conclusions: A positive linear correlation between pedigraph and platform was observed in both feet in the Chippaux and Staheli indices. Significant differences were observed between pedigraph and platform in relation to the width and length of the foot. It is probably due to the fact that the pressure platform provides more exhaustive, detailed and accurate information of the foot.

Digital learning ecologies and professional development of university professors

This study analyses the extent to which faculty use the technological resources that make up their Learning Ecologies to encourage their teacher professional development. The interest of this research is the growing impact of Learning Ecologies as a framework to examine the multiple learning opportunities provided by the complex digital landscape. Global data referred to the use of technological resources grouped in three dimensions (Access, Search and Information Management resources, Creation and Content Editing resources, and Interaction and Communication resources) has been identified. In addition, the influence of different variables such as gender, age, years of teaching experience and the branch of knowledge were also examined. The methodology used has been quantitative through a survey. The sample consisted of 1,652 faculty belonging to 50 Spanish universities. To meet the aim of the study, descriptive and inferential analysis (ANOVA) were carried out. On the one hand, it is noted a moderate use of technological resources for professional development and, on the other hand, significant differences are observed on all variables analysed. The results warn of the need to promote, both at individual and institutional level, more enriched Learning Ecologies, in such a way that each teacher can take better advantage of the learning opportunities, provided by the networked society

Pain assessment and management in the newborn: a systematized review

[Abstract] Background: Neonatal pain has been underdiagnosed due to several false beliefs. Aim: To determine the status of neonatal pain in newborns who are admitted to intensive care units. Methods: Different databases were searched. Literature reviews and research reports conducted in newborns that were written in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, published between 2010 and 2020, and having free access to the full text were selected. A total of 135 articles were found, and 18 articles were finally reviewed. Results: Newborns are exposed to numerous painful procedures. In order to assess their pain levels, several scales have been used, although they are sometimes not correctly interpreted. In terms of pain management, the nursing team plays a very important role based mainly on both pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches. Conclusion: Nursing staff members must be well trained in order to identify pain and to interpret the scales correctly. Besides, they have an important role in performing non-pharmacological procedures for pain management
