Usos reales del relato digital en una experiencia de enseñanza y aprendizaje en la Institución Educativa María Auxiliadora de Dosquebradas

Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC), han tenido gran relevancia en diferentes campos sociales debido a su potencial para crear redes de interconectividad, que permiten contribuir al desarrollo de la sociedad. En la actualidad, se considera que el uso de las TIC es una de las estrategias pertinentes y necesarias para el aprovisionamiento del soporte social, con significativas ventajas y beneficios en áreas específicas, como lo son: la cultura, la comunicación, la medicina, la economía y en el campo laboral. La presente investigación se centra en una de las posibilidades que ofrecen este tipo de tecnologías que es el relato digital. Las narraciones digitales son un género de auto-representación que nos permite crear y contar historias personales a través de pequeños relatos en formato digital, compuestas de narración textual, visual y sonora. Todo ello justifica por sí mismo que se reflexione desde el mundo educativo sobre el relato digital como herramienta de enseñanza-aprendizaje” Como lo dice Herreros “el uso educativo del relato digital promueve la alfabetización digital, el alfabetismo escrito, el alfabetismo oral, el pensamiento crítico, la creatividad, la imaginación, la integración de diferentes competencias y habilidades” además la creación y recepción de dichos relatos digitales sirven como un elemento de auto- reflexión donde se puede llegar a tomar conciencia de algunos sucesos importantes de la vida y construir una identidad

BURNOUT SYNDROME IN NURSING STUDENTS AT THE SCHOOL OF HEALTH SCIENCES: ONLINE MODALITY

El Síndrome de Burnout (SB) está afectando a los estudiantes de Licenciatura en Enfermería (LE), con la llegada del COVID-19 a nuestras vidas. Coincidiendo con González (2020) la alteración de la rutina de vida de los involucrados en el área sanitaria, como lo son docentes, alumnos, profesionales y administrativos ha tenido efectos negativos, más que positivos, debido a las dudas e incertidumbre que generó la pandemia. La modalidad educativa totalmente en línea ha ocasionado que el “aprendizaje” se limite únicamente a pasar horas pegado a un equipo de cómputo. Esta investigación busca determinar la prevalencia de los factores sociodemográficos, académicos, ambientales, psicológicos y sociales relacionados con el SB en los estudiantes de LE de la UABC. Siguiendo la metodología DMAIF y aplicación de técnicas estadísticas de alcance descriptivo e inferencial. Se aplicó un cuestionario a 153 estudiantes, con el cual se demostró que uno de los factores desencadenantes del SB fue el psicológico debido a que el 73.20% y el 45.75% de los alumnos poseen un nivel alto de cansancio emocional y despersonalización, respectivamente; y el 69.93% tuvo un nivel bajo de realización personal, en cuanto al sociodemográfico dominó el género femenino y en el académico la sobrecarga de trabajo.The Burnout Syndrome (SB) is affecting Bachelor of Nursing (LE) students, with the arrival of COVID-19 in our lives. In agreement with González (2020), the alteration of the life routine of those involved in the health area, such as teachers, students, professionals, and administrators, has had negative effects, rather than positive ones, due to the doubts and uncertainty generated by the pandemic. The full online education modality has caused "learning" to be limited only to spending hours stuck to a computer. This research wants to determine the prevalence of sociodemographic, academic, environmental, psychological, and social factors related to SB in FL students at UABC. The DMAIF methodology and application of statistical techniques of descriptive and inferential scope were followed. A questionnaire was applied to 153 students, which showed that one of the triggering factors of SB was psychological, since 73.20% and 45.75% of the students have a high level of emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, respectively; and 69.93% were found to have a low level of personal achievement, in terms of sociodemographic dominance the female gender and the academic work overload.

Rational design of copper(II)-uracil nanoprocessed coordination polymers to improve their cytotoxic activity in biological media

This work is focused on the rational structural design of two isostructural Cu(II) nano-coordination polymers (NCPs) with uracil-1-acetic acid (UAcOH) (CP1n) and 5-fluorouracil-1-acetic acid (CP2n). Suitable single crystals for ꭕ-ray diffraction studies of CP1 and CP2 were prepared under hydrothermal conditions, enabling their structural determination as 1D-CP ladder-like polymeric structures. The control of the synthetic parameters allows their processability into water colloids based on nanoplates (CP1n and CP2n). These NCPs are stable in water at physiological pHs for long periods. However, interestingly, CP1n is chemically altered in culture media. These transformations provoke the partial release of its building blocks and the formation of new species, such as [Cu(UAcO)2(H2O)4]·2H2O (Cu(II)-complex), and species corresponding to the partial reduction of the Cu(II) centers. The cytotoxic studies of CP1n versus human pancreatic adenocarcinoma and human uveal melanoma cells show that CP1n produces a decrease in the cell viability, while their UAcOH and Cu(II)-complex are not cytotoxic under similar conditions. The copper reduction species detected in the hydrolysis of CP1n are closely related to the formation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) detected in the cytotoxic studies. These results prompted us to prepare CP2n that was designed to improve the cytotoxicity by the substitution of UAcO by 5-FUAcO, taking into account the anticancer activity of the 5-fluorouracil moiety. The new CP2n has a similar behavior to CP1n both in water and in biological media. However, its subtle structural differences are vital in improving its cytotoxic activity. Indeed, the release during the hydrolysis of species containing the 5-fluorouracil moiety provokes a remarkable increase in cellular toxicity and a significant increase in ROS species formationThe authors thank the financial support from the Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (PID2019- 108028GB-C22, PID2019-108028GB-C21, MAT2016-77608- C3-1-P, MAT2016-75883-C2-1-P, MAT2016-75883-C2-2-P, MAT2016-75586-C4-4-P, and CTQ2017-87201-PAEI/ FEDER, UE) and the Generalidad Valenciana (Prometeo/ 2019/076

Temporal distribution and genetic variants in influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus circulating in Mexico, seasons 2012 and 2013

The 2012 and 2013 annual influenza epidemics in Mexico were characterized by presenting different seasonal patterns. In 2012 the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus caused a high incidence of influenza infections after a two-year period of low circulation; whereas the 2013 epidemic presented circulation of the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus throughout the year. We have characterized the molecular composition of the Hemagglutinin (HA) and Neuraminidase (NA) genes of the A(H1N1)pdm09 virus from both epidemic seasons, emphasizing the genetic characteristics of viruses isolated from Yucatan in Southern Mexico. The molecular analysis of viruses from the 2012 revealed that all viruses from Mexico were predominantly grouped in clade 7. Strikingly, the molecular characterization of viruses from 2013 revealed that viruses circulating in Yucatan were genetically different to viruses from other regions of Mexico. In fact, we identified the occurrence of two genetic variants containing relevant mutations at both the HA and NA surface antigens. There was a difference on the temporal circulation of each genetic variant, viruses containing the mutations HA-A141T / NA-N341S were detected in May, June and July; whereas viruses containing the mutations HA-S162I / NAL206S circulated in August and September. We discuss the significance of these novel genetic changes

Cognitive insight in first-episode psychosis : changes during Metacognitive Training

Altres ajuts: The project has been funded by the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (Spanish Government); by the Fondo Europeo de Desarrollo Regional (FEDER), Progress and Health Foundation of the Andalusian Regional Ministry of Health, grant PI-0634/2011; Obra Social La Caixa (RecerCaixa call 2013); and Obra Social Sant Joan de Déu (BML).Background: Metacognitive training (MCT) has demonstrated its efficacy in psychosis. However, the effect of each MCT session has not been studied. The aim of the study was to assess changes in cognitive insight after MCT: (a) between baseline, post-treatment, and follow-up; (b) after each session of the MCT controlled for intellectual quotient (IQ) and educational level. Method: A total of 65 patients with first-episode psychosis were included in the MCT group from nine centers of Spain. Patients were assessed at baseline, post-treatment, and 6 months follow-up, as well as after each session of MCT with the Beck Cognitive Insight Scale (BCIS). The BCIS contains two subscales: self-reflectiveness and self-certainty, and the Composite Index. Statistical analysis was performed using linear mixed models with repeated measures at different time points. Results: Self-certainty decreased significantly (p = 0.03) over time and the effect of IQ was negative and significant (p = 0.02). From session 4 to session 8, all sessions improved cognitive insight by significantly reducing self-certainty and the Composite Index. Conclusions: MCT intervention appears to have beneficial effects on cognitive insight by reducing self-certainty, especially after four sessions. Moreover, a minimum IQ is required to ensure benefits from MCT group intervention

Are There Gender Differences in Social Cognition in First-Episode Psychosis?

An observational descriptive study was performed with 191 individuals with FEP. Emotion perception was assessed using the Faces Test, theory of mind was assessed using the Hinting Task, and attributional style was assessed using the Internal, Personal and Situational Attributions Questionnaire. No gender differences were found in any of the social cognitive domains. Our results suggest that men and women with FEP achieve similar performances in social cognition. Therefore, targeting specific needs in social cognition regarding gender may not be required in early interventions for psychosis

The relationship between jumping to conclusions and social cognition in first-episode psychosis

Altres ajuts: Obra Social La Caixa (RecerCaixa call 2013), and Obra Social Sant Joan de Déu (BML), Generalitat de Catalunya, Health Department, PERIS call (SLT006/17/00231), and the CERCA Programme/Generalitat de Catalunya. Andalusian Regional Ministry of Health, grant PI-0634/2011Jumping to conclusions (JTC) and impaired social cognition (SC) affect the decoding, processing, and use of social information by people with psychosis. However, the relationship between them had not been deeply explored within psychosis in general, and in first-episode psychosis (FEP) in particular. Our aim was to study the relationship between JTC and SC in a sample with FEP. We conducted a cross-sectional study with 121 patients with FEP, with measures to assess JTC (easy, hard, and salient probability tasks) and SC (emotional recognition, attributional style, and theory of mind). We performed Student's t-test and logistic regression in order to analyse these associations.We found a statistically significant and consistent relationship of small-moderate effect size between JTC (all three tasks) and impaired emotional recognition. Also, our results suggest a relationship between JTC and internal attributions for negative events. Relationships between JTC and theory of mind were not found. These results highlight the importance of psychological treatments oriented to work on a hasty reasoning style and on improving processing of social information linked to emotional recognition and single-cause attributions

Influence of Menstrual Cycle Length and Age at Menarche on Symptoms, Cognition, Social Cognition, and Metacognition in Patients with First-Episode Psychosis

Altres ajuts: PERIS call (grant no. SLT006/17/00231); the Progress and Health Foundation of the Andalusian Regional Ministry of Health (grant no. PI-0634/2011 and PI-0193/2014); Obra Social La Caixa (RecerCaixa call 2013); CERCA Programme/Generalitat de Catalunya; Obra Social Sant Joan de Déu (BML); and FI19/00062 (Ayudas para la Contratación de Personal Predoctoral).A protective effect has traditionally been attributed to estrogen in psychotic disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate cumulative lifetime estrogen by assessing the menstrual cycle length, age at menarche, and years of difference between the onset of psychotic symptoms and the age of menarche, measuring their effects on symptoms, cognition, social cognition, and metacognition. As it was not possible to directly measure cumulative estrogen levels over the lifetime of a patient, the study sample was composed of 42 women with first-episode psychosis; estrogen levels were inferred by the menstrual cycle length, age at menarche, and years of difference between the onset of psychotic symptoms and menarche. All patients were assessed with a battery of questionnaires using the BDI, PSYRATS, PANSS, STROOP, TAVEC, WSCT, IPSAQ, and BCIS questionnaires. The results related to menstrual cycle length showed a relationship with memory; specifically, shorter cycles with semantic strategies (p = 0.046) and longer cycles with serial strategies in the short term (p = 0.005) as well as in the long term (p = 0.031). The results also showed a relationship with perseverative errors (p = 0.035) and self-certainty (p = 0.049). Only personalized bias (p = 0.030) was found to be significant in relation to the age at menarche. When analyzing the differences in years of difference between the age at menarche and the onset of psychotic symptoms, the results indicated lower scores in women with a smaller difference between both events in memory (short-term (p = 0.050), long-term (p = 0.024), intrusions (p = 0.013), and recognition (p = 0.043)) and non-perseverative errors (p = 0.024). No relationship was found between symptoms and menstrual characteristics. The investigatory outcomes seem to indicate a relationship between estrogen cumulative effects and the memory domain. More in-depth investigations in the field are necessary in order to improve personalized treatment in women with psychosis

Uptake of genetic testing and long-term tumor surveillance in von Hippel-Lindau disease

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is a hereditary cancer syndrome caused by germline mutations in the <it>VHL </it>gene. Patients have significant morbidity and mortality secondary to vascular tumors. Disease management is centered on tumor surveillance that allows early detection and treatment. Presymptomatic genetic testing is therefore recommended, including in at-risk children.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>We tested 17 families (n = 109 individuals) for <it>VHL </it>mutations including 43 children under the age of 18. Personalized genetic counseling was provided pre and post-test and the individuals undergoing presymptomatic testing filled out questionnaires gathering socio-demographic, psychological and psychiatric data. Mutation analysis was performed by direct sequencing of the <it>VHL </it>gene. Mutation-carriers were screened for VHL disease-related tumors and were offered follow-up annual examinations.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Mutations were identified in 36 patients, 17 of whom were asymptomatic. In the initial screening, we identified at least one tumor in five of 17 previously asymptomatic individuals. At the end of five years, only 38.9% of the mutation-carriers continued participating in our tumor surveillance program. During this time, 14 mutation carriers developed a total of 32 new tumors, three of whom died of complications. Gender, education, income, marital status and religiosity were not found to be associated with adherence to the surveillance protocol. Follow-up adherence was also independent of pre-test depression, severity of disease, or number of affected family members. The only statistically significant predictor of adherence was being symptomatic at the time of testing (OR = 5; 95% CI 1.2 - 20.3; p = 0.02). Pre-test anxiety was more commonly observed in patients that discontinued follow-up (64.7% vs. 35.3%; p = 0.01).</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>The high initial uptake rate of genetic testing for VHL disease, including in minors, allowed the discontinuation of unnecessary screening procedures in non mutation-carriers. However, mutation-carriers showed poor adherence to long-term tumor surveillance. Therefore, many of them did not obtain the full benefit of early detection and treatment, which is central to the reduction of morbidity and mortality in VHL disease. Studies designed to improve adherence to vigilance protocols will be necessary to improve treatment and quality of life in patients with hereditary cancer syndromes.</p
