Algunas observaciones filosóficas sobre Tecnociencia, Educación y Desarrollo

Estas páginas presentan, de un modo más ensayístico y tentativo que lineal, algunas reflexiones sobre el calado de ciertos supuestos que suelen pasar inadvertidos cuando se habla de y educación en el marco de la actual discusión sobre el desarrollo sostenible. En el uso que hacemos de ellos, los conceptos de tecnología y educación tienen algo llamativamente común: se suelen considerar medios, conjunto de reglas o métodos para realizar una serie de principios-fines anteriores y superiores (incluso se las cita conjuntamente: como cuando hablamos de diferentes tecnologías educativas al servicio de unos mismos o diferentes fines de la educación, fines que suelen estar fuera de ella)

Tesis sobre el cambio metaontológico

En el momento actual, la economía del pensamiento y la acción occidentales (y no sólo occidentales) está experimentado un cambio de dirección que nos conduce a un territorio nuevo: asistimos a la despedida de términos como realidad, bien, unidad, orden, sentido, marcadores que nos brindaban el consuelo de que lo que hay puede ser manejado, de alguna manera, por nosotros. Lo que acontece ahora lo hace a modo de reto: ¿cómo se despide lo que se despide?, ¿qué significa actuar en un universo sin referente?, ¿con qué términos teoricoprácticos nos manejaremos?, ¿cuál será su alcance?, ¿cómo afectará a nuestros cuerpos y a nuestras interacciones?At present, the economy of Western thought and action (and not just Western) is undergoing a change of direction that leads to a new territory: witness the parting of the terms reality, well, unity, order, sense markers that give us the comfort that what is can be managed, somehow, for us. What happens now does it as a challenge: how it should be dismissed that dismissed? What does it mean to perform in a universe without reference? How we handle theoretical and practical terms? What is its scope, how affect our bodies and our interactions

Aspectos interculturales en los libros de texto gratuitos de primaria, en México.

El documento contiene los primeros resultados de una investigación enfocada en el análisis del discurso sobre interculturalidad y los valores implicados que se identifican en los libros de textos gratuitos de educación primaria en México[1], a partir del supuesto de que estos materiales tienen una clara función orientadora, y son los instrumentos básicos que acompañan a los agentes educativos en su práctica docente y en la formación académica y ética del alumno. El análisis referido se focaliza en la educación intercultural bilingüe que se desarrolla en México, una propuesta nacional que, de manera equivocada, dirige su atención sólo a las comunidades indígenas. Se trata de un concepto que ha cobrado relevancia, ya que aparece en el ámbito pedagógico como una constante cuando se abordan temas para la reflexión y las prácticas educativas, y como propuesta educativa, vinculada al intercambio, al enriquecimiento mutuo, y a la cooperación entre personas y grupos. El documento contiene cinco apartados; por un lado, se describen los antecedentes y las reformas educativas que se han sucedido en el Sistema Educativo en México; posteriormente, se presenta una discusión sobre conceptos fundamentales de la investigación, como son la interculturalidad y la diversidad; en el tercer apartado se hace mención de la metodología empleada; finalmente se presentan algunos resultados y las conclusiones del estudio

Role of age and comorbidities in mortality of patients with infective endocarditis

[Purpose]: The aim of this study was to analyse the characteristics of patients with IE in three groups of age and to assess the ability of age and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) to predict mortality. [Methods]: Prospective cohort study of all patients with IE included in the GAMES Spanish database between 2008 and 2015.Patients were stratified into three age groups:<65 years,65 to 80 years,and ≥ 80 years.The area under the receiver-operating characteristic (AUROC) curve was calculated to quantify the diagnostic accuracy of the CCI to predict mortality risk. [Results]: A total of 3120 patients with IE (1327 < 65 years;1291 65-80 years;502 ≥ 80 years) were enrolled.Fever and heart failure were the most common presentations of IE, with no differences among age groups.Patients ≥80 years who underwent surgery were significantly lower compared with other age groups (14.3%,65 years; 20.5%,65-79 years; 31.3%,≥80 years). In-hospital mortality was lower in the <65-year group (20.3%,<65 years;30.1%,65-79 years;34.7%,≥80 years;p < 0.001) as well as 1-year mortality (3.2%, <65 years; 5.5%, 65-80 years;7.6%,≥80 years; p = 0.003).Independent predictors of mortality were age ≥ 80 years (hazard ratio [HR]:2.78;95% confidence interval [CI]:2.32–3.34), CCI ≥ 3 (HR:1.62; 95% CI:1.39–1.88),and non-performed surgery (HR:1.64;95% CI:11.16–1.58).When the three age groups were compared,the AUROC curve for CCI was significantly larger for patients aged <65 years(p < 0.001) for both in-hospital and 1-year mortality. [Conclusion]: There were no differences in the clinical presentation of IE between the groups. Age ≥ 80 years, high comorbidity (measured by CCI),and non-performance of surgery were independent predictors of mortality in patients with IE.CCI could help to identify those patients with IE and surgical indication who present a lower risk of in-hospital and 1-year mortality after surgery, especially in the <65-year group

Healthcare workers hospitalized due to COVID-19 have no higher risk of death than general population. Data from the Spanish SEMI-COVID-19 Registry

Aim To determine whether healthcare workers (HCW) hospitalized in Spain due to COVID-19 have a worse prognosis than non-healthcare workers (NHCW). Methods Observational cohort study based on the SEMI-COVID-19 Registry, a nationwide registry that collects sociodemographic, clinical, laboratory, and treatment data on patients hospitalised with COVID-19 in Spain. Patients aged 20-65 years were selected. A multivariate logistic regression model was performed to identify factors associated with mortality. Results As of 22 May 2020, 4393 patients were included, of whom 419 (9.5%) were HCW. Median (interquartile range) age of HCW was 52 (15) years and 62.4% were women. Prevalence of comorbidities and severe radiological findings upon admission were less frequent in HCW. There were no difference in need of respiratory support and admission to intensive care unit, but occurrence of sepsis and in-hospital mortality was lower in HCW (1.7% vs. 3.9%; p = 0.024 and 0.7% vs. 4.8%; p<0.001 respectively). Age, male sex and comorbidity, were independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality and healthcare working with lower mortality (OR 0.211, 95%CI 0.067-0.667, p = 0.008). 30-days survival was higher in HCW (0.968 vs. 0.851 p<0.001). Conclusions Hospitalized COVID-19 HCW had fewer comorbidities and a better prognosis than NHCW. Our results suggest that professional exposure to COVID-19 in HCW does not carry more clinical severity nor mortality

Age, Successive Waves, Immunization, and Mortality in Elderly COVID-19 Haematological Patients: EPICOVIDEHA Findings

Introduction: elderly patients with haematologic malignancies face the highest risk of severe COVID-19 outcomes. The infection impact in different age groups remains unstudied in detail. Methods: We analysed elderly patients (age groups: 65-70, 71-75, 76-80 and &gt;80 years old) with hematologic malignancies included in the EPICOVIDEHA registry between January 2020 and July 2022. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression models were conducted to identify factors influencing death in COVID-19 patients with haematological malignancy. results: the study included data from 3,603 elderly patients (aged 65 or older) with haematological malignancy, with a majority being male (58.1%) and a significant proportion having comorbidities. The patients were divided into four age groups, and the analysis assessed COVID-19 outcomes, vaccination status, and other variables in relation to age and pandemic waves.tThe 90-day survival rate for patients with COVID-19 was 71.2%, with significant differences between groups. The pandemic waves had varying impacts, with the first wave affecting patients over 80 years old, the second being more severe in 65-70, and the third being the least severe in all age groups. factors contributing to 90-day mortality included age, comorbidities, lymphopenia, active malignancy, acute leukaemia, less than three vaccine doses, severe COVID-19, and using only corticosteroids as treatment. Conclusions: These data underscore the heterogeneity of elderly haematological patients, highlight the different impact of COVID waves and the pivotal importance of vaccination, and may help in planning future healthcare efforts
