Las políticas públicas de salud mental y el riesgo psicosocial burnout en los asistentes judiciales del Poder Judicial Sede Central Cusco en el año 2019

El presente trabajo de investigación lleva el título de: “Las Políticas Públicas de Salud Mental y el Riesgo Psicosocial Burnout en los Asistentes Judiciales del Poder Judicial Sede Central Cusco en el Año 2019”, el objetivo de este trabajo de investigación es determinar la relación entre las Políticas Públicas de Salud Mental y el Riesgo Psicosocial Burnout en los Asistentes Judiciales de Poder Judicial sede central Cusco en el año 2019. La presente investigación es de tipo no experimental de diseño correlacional simple y transversal, la muestra estuvo conformada por 30 Asistentes Judiciales entre los 35 y 60 años de edad, quienes son parte de la sede central del Poder Judicial del Cusco. Se aplicó una encuesta para aplicar el instrumento psicológico de Maslach que evalúa cuatro categorías: Síndrome de Burnout, agotamiento emocional, despersonalización, y realización personal, así mismo se les aplico una encuesta sociodemográfica. También se pudo aplicar una entrevista a un personal de SUNAFIL para poder validar nuestras hipótesis de investigación. Las técnicas de recolección de datos, han sido la encuesta y entrevista; y como instrumentos, el Test de Maslach. El trabajo de investigación ha sido estructurado en 5 capítulos que vienen a ser los siguientes: I) Introducción, el cual está conformado por el planteamiento del problema, formulación de problemas, justificación, objetivos, viabilidad de investigación y delimitación del estudio; II) Marco teórico, dentro del mismo encontramos a los antecedentes de estudio, las bases teóricas, las hipótesis de la investigación, las variables y operacionalización, además de la definición de términos y bases normativas; III) Metodología, que abarca el alcance del estudio, el tipo y diseño de la investigación, la población, muestra, las técnicas e instrumentos de recolección de datos, la validación y confiabilidad de instrumentos; IV) Resultados, el cual contiene los resultados del estudio y el análisis de los mismos; V) Discusión, el cual se refiere a la comparación crítica de los resultados con la literatura existente. Los resultados muestran que en el Perú actualmente no existe una política pública de salud mental aplicable a los trabajadores del Poder Judicial, y que la normativa que existe sobre salud mental de los trabajadores, pese a estar bien estructurada y formulada, no está siendo implementada adecuadamente, por lo que actualmente no se está garantizando, ni velando por la salud mental de los Asistentes Judiciales del Poder Judicial sede central Cusco en el año 2019, en este entender, en el presente trabajo de investigación vamos a relacionar las políticas públicas de salud mental con la variable riesgo psicosocial de burnout, la misma que nos dota de resultados importantes, ya que este indica que existen altos índices de Síndrome de Burnout(estrés laboral) en los Asistentes Judiciales del Poder Judicial del Cusco, el cual al ser considerado un problema latente en la actualidad merece la implementación de una política pública para contrarrestarlo y a su vez prevenirlo.The present work of investigation takes the title of: "The Public Policies of Mental Health and the Psychosocial Risk Burnout in the Judicial Assistants of the Judicial Power Headquarter Cusco in the year 2019", the objective of this work of investigation is to determine the relation between the Public Policies of Mental Health and the Psychosocial Risk Burnout in the Judicial Assistants of the Judicial Power Headquarter Cusco in the year 2019. The present investigation is of non- experimental type of simple and transverse correlational design, the sample was conformed by 30 Judicial Assistants between the 35 and 60 years of age, who are part of the central seat of the Judicial Power of Cusco. A survey was applied to apply Maslach's psychological instrument that evaluates four categories: Burnout Syndrome, emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal fulfillment. A sociodemographic survey was also applied to them. We also applied an interview to SUNAFIL staff in order to validate our research hypothesis. The techniques of data collection, have been the survey and interview; and as instruments, the Maslach Test. The research work has been structured in 5 chapters which are the following: I) Introduction, which is made up of the problem statement, formulation of problems, justification, objectives, research viability and delimitation of the study; II) Theoretical framework, within which we find the study background, the theoretical bases, the research hypotheses, the variables and operationalization, as well as the definition of terms and normative bases; III) Methodology, which covers the scope of the study, the type and design of the research, the population, sample, data collection techniques and instruments, validation and reliability of instruments; IV) Results, which contains the results of the study and their analysis; V) Discussion, which refers to the critical comparison of the results with the existing literature. The results show that in Peru there is currently no public policy on mental health applicable to workers in the Judicial Branch, and that the regulations that exist on the mental health of workers, despite being well structured and formulated, are not being adequately implemented, so that they are not currently guaranteed, nor are they ensuring the mental health of the Judicial Assistants in the Judicial Branch headquartered in Cusco in 2019, in this understanding, In the present work of investigation we are going to relate the public policies of mental health with the variable psychosocial risk of burnout, the same one that provides us with important results, since this one indicates that high indexes of Syndrome of Burnout exist (labor stress) in the Judicial assistants of the Judicial Power of the Cusco, which to the being considered a latent problem at the present time deserves the implementation of a public policy to counteract it and as well to prevent it

Brecha digital de género en docentes de Matemática de Educación Media antes y durante la pandemia por COVID-19 en Uruguay

El sistema educativo uruguayo ante la crisis y cierre de las escuelas provocado por el COVID-19, transitó rápidamente hacia un modelo de plataformización de la educación. Este artículo examina si este proceso impactó en la brecha digital de género antes y durante la pandemia en cinco herramientas de la Plataforma Schoology que utilizaron los y las docentes de Matemática de Educación Media. Utilizando una metodología cuantitativa, no experimental del tipo descriptiva correlacional que se enfocó en la minería de datos proporcionados por CEIBAL, se analizaron los registros digitales de acceso a 4.418 cursos de Matemática de 2019 y 2020. Los resultados indican que existe una brecha digital de uso y acceso en favor de las docentes de Matemática de Educación Media. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas en las variables Comentarios Posteados ( Total de Acciones ( Total Días de Ingreso y Creaciones de Contenidos, no así de la variable Total Me Gusta. La brecha a favor de las docentes se intensificó durante 2020 en el grupo de docentes que utilizan la plataforma con mayor frecuencia principalmente en las variables Total de Acciones y Comentarios Posteados (25 y 16 pp respectivamente)

A New Method to Predict the Epidemiology of Fungal Keratitis by Monitoring the Sales Distribution of Antifungal Eye Drops in Brazil

Purpose: Fungi are a major cause of keratitis, although few medications are licensed for their treatment. The aim of this study is to observe the variation in commercialisation of antifungal eye drops, and to predict the seasonal distribution of fungal keratitis in Brazil. Methods: Data from a retrospective study of antifungal eye drops sales from the only pharmaceutical ophthalmologic laboratory, authorized to dispense them in Brazil (Opthalmos) were gathered. These data were correlated with geographic and seasonal distribution of fungal keratitis in Brazil between July 2002 and June 2008. Results: A total of 26,087 antifungal eye drop units were sold, with a mean of 2.3 per patient. There was significant variation in antifungal sales during the year (p < 0.01). A linear regression model displayed a significant association between reduced relative humidity and antifungal drug sales (R-2 = 0.17, p < 0.01). Conclusions: Antifungal eye drops sales suggest that there is a seasonal distribution of fungal keratitis. A possible interpretation is that the third quarter of the year (a period when the climate is drier), when agricultural activity is more intense in Brazil, suggests a correlation with a higher incidence of fungal keratitis. A similar model could be applied to other diseases, that are managed with unique, or few, and monitorable medications to predict epidemiological aspects.Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e TecnologicoConselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico [302005/2009-9]Fundacao de Apoio ao Ensino, Pesquisa e Assistencia do Hospital das Clinicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirao Preto da Universidade de Sao PauloFundacao de Apoio ao Ensino, Pesquisa e Assistencia do Hospital das Clinicas da Faculdade de Medicina de Ribeirao Preto da Universidade de Sao Paul

Cuentos de nunca acabar. Aproximaciones desde la interculturalidad

Cuentos de nunca acabar. Aproximaciones desde la interculturalidad, surge después de la pandemia y su imposibilidad de socializar “en persona” con los compañeros de eventuales encuentros, porque la Comprensión Lectora tenía que reinventarse para su nueva reflexión cognitiva, adaptación contextual y reconstrucción del conocimiento. Este renovado enfoque de la realidad postpandemia, concebido en el marco de la educación intercultural comunitaria, busca potencializar los entornos naturales, sociales y culturales como recursos de aprendizaje multidisciplinario a través del lenguaje animado de los cuentos. En este marco, había que dinamizar la asignatura de Comunicación Oral y Escrita, que se dicta en los Primeros Niveles de los Centros de Apoyo de Otavalo, Cayambe, Latacunga y Riobamba, mediante un eje transversal donde los estudiantes escriban fundamentados en valores de la cosmovisión andina, considerando que provienen de varios lugares de la sierra y amazonía ecuatoriana. Todo surgió del encuentro presencial de un sábado cualquiera donde los estudiantes realizaban ejercicios narrativos, logrando una apreciable respuesta de imaginación, más emotiva que la clásica tarea de las Unidades, tanto así que, pasados unos días, seguían llegando sus escritos a mi correo. Entonces nos pusimos manos a la obra, cada estudiante tendría dos opciones como Actividad Integradora, la primera consistía en escribir un cuento de su propia inspiración, y la segunda analizar un clásico para comentar sus valores y antivalores. La mayor parte de estudiantes decidió escribir su propio cuento, de donde se escogieron algunas participaciones que podrían considerarse originales, para una edición que, respetando la transcripción de la tradición oral que prima en los sectores comunitarios, nos concretamos en revisar la puntuación y ortografía para publicarlos. Con esto buscamos innovar la Actividad Integradora, por algo más práctico y operativo para configurar los Objetos de Aprendizaje que buscamos. Así nació, en medio del camino, este libro de Cuentos de nunca acabar. Aproximaciones desde la interculturalidad, que ponemos en sus manos. Hernán Hermosa Mantilla Quito, junio de 202

The Big Listen: A community engagement consultation project. Actions, findings and reflections.

This paper discusses the results of an empirical research project called The Big Listen, which was carried out in the Northern area of Cambridge. It also presents personal reflections upon the execution of the project. My participation in The Big Listen was part of the work placement undertaken as a student of the MSc in Entrepreneurial Management at Anglia Ruskin University. The project was supported by an organisation called Future Business Centre, and the main objective was to find out the most significant social issues that affect the community within Northern Cambridge in order to take further action in the near future. The main vehicle to conduct the research study was questionnaires, which collected data from one hundred and eleven local residents. Coding and grounded theory were used to process the data, and results were presented in a written report. Findings indicate that, despite general agreement on the levels of satisfaction with the neighbourhoods, there are specific issues that need to be addressed such as the disengagement of young people and the feeling of isolation of the elderly, among others. Therefore, The Big Listen should be considered the first step of a long-term process that should keep investigating people's needs, in order to cater to what is currently missing or functioning inefficiently. The current findings may be useful to raise awareness of the situation and involve other stakeholders in the near future.Agencia Nacional de Investigación e Innovació

Subject curriculum of the Japanese language: Proposal and development

Interes za japanski jezik, a posljedično i broj učenika japanskoga jezika u stalnom je porastu na globalnoj, ali i na nacionalnoj razini. Izvođenjem sveučilišnoga studija Japanski jezik i kultura na pulskome sveučilištu, prvoga akreditiranoga japanološkog studija u Hrvatskoj, i nastavničkog smjera na diplomskoj razini otvaraju se mogućnosti uvođenja predmetnoga kurikuluma japanskoga jezika i u srednjim školama u RH. Uz stvaranje obrazovanoga nastavnog kadra objavom udžbenika japanskoga jezika na hrvatskome jeziku osigurani su važni uvjeti za provođenje nastave u srednjim školama, a rezultati anketa u srednjim školama i broj upisanih studenata japanologije ukazuje na veliki interes za ovim jezikom. Cilj je ovoga rada razviti prijedlog predmetnoga kurikuluma Japanskoga jezika za srednje škole u Republici Hrvatskoj sa sadržajem i strukturom koji se temelje na analizi postojećih kurikuluma japanskoga jezika stranih zemalja (kurikulumi Njemačke, Srbije, Kanade i Irske) te na predmetnim kurikulumima stranih jezika Republike Hrvatske (francuski, srpski jezik, grčki i latinski jezik). U prijedlogu su prikazani dijelovi razrađenih odgojno‑ obrazovnih ishoda te su predložene odabrane teme i jezični sadržaji za dva razreda srednjih škola. Osim toga, navedene su i međupredmetne teme koje su u korelaciji.Interest in Japanese language, and consequently the number of students of the Japanese language is constantly growing, both globally, and on the national level. Pula University undergraduate study program of Japanese Language and Culture and graduate program of Japanese studies with Japanese Language Teaching module, the first accredited Japanese study programs in Croatia, open up the possibility of introducing the subject curriculum of the Japanese language in secondary schools in the Republic of Croatia. Creation of educated teaching staff and the publication of Japanese language textbooks in Croatian are important prerequisites for teaching in secondary schools, as the results of surveys in secondary schools and the number of students enrolled in Japanese study program indicate a great interest in this language. The aim of this paper is to develop a proposal for a subject curriculum of the Japanese language for secondary schools in the Republic of Croatia with content and structure based on an analysis of existing Japanese language curricula of foreign countries (the curricula of Germany, Serbia, Canada, and Ireland) and on the foreign language subject curricula of the Republic of Croatia (French, Serbian, Greek and Latin). The proposal presents parts of the elaborated learning outcomes and suggests selected topics and language content for two classes of secondary schools. In addition, cross‑subject topics correlated with Japanese language were also listed

A poética do luto: reflexão a partir do conceito de objeto transformacional

Partindo do conceito de objeto transformacional formulado por Christopher Bollas, discutimos o potencial transformador dos encontros estéticos. Apresentamos algumas reflexões sobre uma experiência clínica vivida com uma paciente atravessando um luto, e destacamos a marcante habilidade dela em se utilizar de músicas, imagens e metáforas para dizer de sua experiência emocional. A partir desta experiência clínica temos por objetivo, neste artigo, refletir a respeito da potência transformacional dos objetos estéticos no contexto analítico, que parecem ter um papel importante no processo de elaboração do luto desta paciente. Por fim, fazemos alguns apontamentos sobre a importância do encontro analítico, na relação de transferência-contratransferência, para o potencial de transformação dos encontros estéticos vividos nas sessões de análise. 

Repeated annual application of glyphosate reduces the abundance and alters the community structure of soil culturable pseudomonads in a temperate grassland

Grasslands include some of the most endangered and less protected ecosystems on the planet, such as the Pampa of South America. In the Flooding Pampa where native grasslands were not replaced by crops, glyphosate is frequently sprayed in late-summer every year to increase winter forage productivity for cattle without knowing the impacts on both aboveground and belowground grassland genetic resources. Here, we evaluated the effect of this practice on the abundance and community structure of members of the genus Pseudomonas, one of the most diverse bacterial taxa of the plant rhizosphere broadly recognized by their benefits on plant growth and protection, and on soil remediation. In a field experiment, we analyzed the impact of a single application or of a repeated annual application during 4 consecutive years of the recommended dose of commercial glyphosate (Glacoxan®, 3 l ha-1 and 1440 g active ingredient ha-1). In a greenhouse experiment, we tested whether exposure of bare soil to either commercially formulated or pure glyphosate has a direct impact on the resident pseudomonas community in the absence of plants. In the field, we found that the repeated annual herbicide application resulted in a reduction in the abundance and a shift in the community structure of culturable pseudomonads, with evidence of an enrichment of glyphosate-metabolizing lineages. On the other hand, a single application of glyphosate to bare soil under greenhouse conditions did not affect the abundance nor the community structure of pseudomonads. Considering that these plant-beneficial bacteria are natural inhabitants of the rhizosphere and that their fitness is promoted by plant root exudates, the observed alterations are most likely associated with the drop in the vegetation cover directly provoked by the effect of glyphosate. For the first time, we report on the consequences that a reiterated glyphosate application has on a diverse soil reservoir of bacteria that contributes to crucial ecosystem functions in a temperate natural grassland under animal production. Our findings strengthen the notion that this agronomical practice has an unavoidable imprint on non-target microorganisms that are relevant components of the plant-soil feedbacks and that may be instrumental for ecosystem restoration. We conclude that it is necessary to develop sustainable management practices to avoid affecting key functional microorganisms and exploit their contributions to society.Fil: Lorch, Melani Gisele.

Neurological and Inflammatory Manifestations in Sjögren’s Syndrome: The Role of the Kynurenine Metabolic Pathway

For decades, neurological, psychological, and cognitive alterations, as well as other glandular manifestations (EGM), have been described and are being considered to be part of Sjögren’s syndrome (SS). Dry eye and dry mouth are major findings in SS. The lacrimal glands (LG), ocular surface (OS), and salivary glands (SG) are linked to the central nervous system (CNS) at the brainstem and hippocampus. Once compromised, these CNS sites may be responsible for autonomic and functional disturbances that are related to major and EGM in SS. Recent studies have confirmed that the kynurenine metabolic pathway (KP) can be stimulated by interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and other cytokines, activating indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in SS. This pathway interferes with serotonergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission, mostly in the hippocampus and other structures of the CNS. Therefore, it is plausible that KP induces neurological manifestations and contributes to the discrepancy between symptoms and signs, including manifestations of hyperalgesia and depression in SS patients with weaker signs of sicca, for example. Observations from clinical studies in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), graft-versus-host disease, and lupus, as well as from experimental studies, support this hypothesis. However, the obtained results for SS are controversial, as discussed in this study. Therapeutic strategies have been reexamined and new options designed and tested to regulate the KP. In the future, the confirmation and application of this concept may help to elucidate the mosaic of SS manifestations
