La identificación del talento en la formación profesional. Diseño y resultado de una estrategia

Taking as a point of starting the critical analysis of the used ways to identify the talent at Central University of Las Villas (UCLV), this research is oriented toward the design and implementation of a strategy to surpass the found deficiencies in this process. The Cultural-Historic approach is taken as the theoretical reference. The methodological implications derived of this position assess the novelty of the scientific proposition since the identification of talent is conceived as an analysis of learners´ educational needs centered on professional education. Asurvey of multiple cases is carried out to prove the effectiveness of this strategy. This allows from qualitative perspective to analysis the regularities and the particularities of talented performance opening the possibilities for the establishment of educational contexts focused on the development of talent

Transporting Clinical Research to Community Settings: Designing and Conducting a Multisite Trial of Brief Strategic Family Therapy

This paper describes the development and implementation of a trial of Brief Strategic Family Therapy (BSFT), an evidence-based drug intervention for adolescents, in eight community substance abuse treatment programs. Researchers and treatment programs collaborated closely to identify and overcome challenges, many of them related to achieving results that were both scientifically rigorous and applicable to the widest possible variety of adolescent substance abuse treatment programs. To meet these challenges, the collaborative team drew on lessons and practices from efficacy, effectiveness, and implementation research

El papel de la enseñanza de la historia en el desarrollo comunicativo del profesional de la salud / The Role of History teaching in the communicative development of the Health Professional

El presente trabajo introduce el tema en cuestión a partir del análisis de diferentes postulados teóricos sobre la comunicación y la importancia de la enseñanza de la Historia con estos propósitos, en el contexto de la formación médica, que sirvió de base para el análisis documental y la elaboración de dos instrumentos que se aplicaron corroborando la necesidad de crear vías para el desarrollo de la comunicación, y la efectividad de la experiencia aplicada desde el Programa de Historia de Cuba III en 4to año de la carrera de Medicina respectivamente. Para el desarrollo de estos propósitos se fundamentaron  teóricamente las potencialidades de la enseñanza de la asignatura y se ofreció un modelo recurrente que constituyó el estilo metodológico con que se impartieron las 16 actividades docentes  del programa para dar cumplimiento al objetivo propuesto, demostrando que el diseño de las estrategias de enseñanza aprendizaje debe estar encaminado a construir eslabones para el desarrollo de la comunicación, donde la enseñanza de la Historia constituya un fuerte puntal en este propósito, además de contribuir a solucionar los problemas de comunicación que afloren en el período de formación médica e incorpore habilidades, métodos y conocimientos al desarrollo del método clínico, cuyos resultados se evidenciaron en el análisis cualitativo y cuantitativo del instrumento aplicado .Palabras Clave: HISTORIA, ESTUDIANTES DE MEDICINA, COMUNICACIÓN, CUBA. ABSTRACT The present work is based on the teaching of History  from the analysis of different  theoretical postulates on communication  and the importance of  History teaching in the medical context,  which was used as a base  for the documented analysis and the creation of two instruments which were applied,  demonstrating the necessity of means  for the development of communication  and the effectiveness of the applied training  from the Cuban History III in the 4 academic year of Medical major. With these purposes the possibilities of the subject teaching were based theoretically  and it was offered a recurrent model which  constituted  the methodological style used for teaching 16 teaching activities of the program  fulfilling the proposed objective  which demonstrated  that the design of the teaching- learning strategies must be directed to create links  for the development of  communication  where the History teaching is a strong  support  and it also contributes to solve  the communication problems  which emerge in the medical formation period  and gives training , methods and knowledges of the clinical method development whose results  were evidenced in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the applied instrument.

Bose-Einstein correlations of same-sign charged pions in the forward region in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV

Bose-Einstein correlations of same-sign charged pions, produced in protonproton collisions at a 7 TeV centre-of-mass energy, are studied using a data sample collected by the LHCb experiment. The signature for Bose-Einstein correlations is observed in the form of an enhancement of pairs of like-sign charged pions with small four-momentum difference squared. The charged-particle multiplicity dependence of the Bose-Einstein correlation parameters describing the correlation strength and the size of the emitting source is investigated, determining both the correlation radius and the chaoticity parameter. The measured correlation radius is found to increase as a function of increasing charged-particle multiplicity, while the chaoticity parameter is seen to decreas

Observation of an Excited Bc+ State

Using pp collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.5 fb-1 recorded by the LHCb experiment at center-of-mass energies of s=7, 8, and 13 TeV, the observation of an excited Bc+ state in the Bc+π+π- invariant-mass spectrum is reported. The observed peak has a mass of 6841.2±0.6(stat)±0.1(syst)±0.8(Bc+) MeV/c2, where the last uncertainty is due to the limited knowledge of the Bc+ mass. It is consistent with expectations of the Bc∗(2S31)+ state reconstructed without the low-energy photon from the Bc∗(1S31)+→Bc+γ decay following Bc∗(2S31)+→Bc∗(1S31)+π+π-. A second state is seen with a global (local) statistical significance of 2.2σ (3.2σ) and a mass of 6872.1±1.3(stat)±0.1(syst)±0.8(Bc+) MeV/c2, and is consistent with the Bc(2S10)+ state. These mass measurements are the most precise to date

Measurement of the inelastic pp cross-section at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV

The cross-section for inelastic proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV is measured with the LHCb detector. The fiducial cross-section for inelastic interactions producing at least one prompt long-lived charged particle with momentum p > 2 GeV/c in the pseudorapidity range 2 < η < 5 is determined to be ϭ acc = 62:2 ± 0:2 ± 2:5mb. The first uncertainty is the intrinsic systematic uncertainty of the measurement, the second is due to the uncertainty on the integrated luminosity. The statistical uncertainty is negligible. Extrapolation to full phase space yields the total inelastic proton-proton cross-section ϭ inel = 75:4 ± 3:0 ± 4:5mb, where the first uncertainty is experimental and the second due to the extrapolation. An updated value of the inelastic cross-section at a centre-of-mass energy of 7TeV is also reported

Updated Determination of D⁰–D¯⁰Mixing and CP Violation Parameters with D⁰→K⁺π⁻ Decays

We report measurements of charm-mixing parameters based on the decay-time-dependent ratio of D⁰→K⁺π⁻ to D⁰→K⁻π⁺ rates. The analysis uses a data sample of proton-proton collisions corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0  fb⁻¹ recorded by the LHCb experiment from 2011 through 2016. Assuming charge-parity (CP) symmetry, the mixing parameters are determined to be x′²=(3.9±2.7)×10⁻⁵, y′=(5.28±0.52)×10⁻³, and R[subscript D]=(3.454±0.031)×10⁻³. Without this assumption, the measurement is performed separately for D⁰ and D[over ¯]⁰ mesons, yielding a direct CP-violating asymmetry A[subscript D]=(-0.1±9.1)×10⁻³, and magnitude of the ratio of mixing parameters 1.00<|q/p|<1.35 at the 68.3% confidence level. All results include statistical and systematic uncertainties and improve significantly upon previous single-measurement determinations. No evidence for CP violation in charm mixing is observed
