CURSO SOBRE EXPLICACIÓN LINGÜÍSTICA VINCULADA A ESTEREOTIPOS METODOLÓGICOS EN LA REDACCIÓN CIENTÍFICA DE PROFESIONALES UNIVERSITARIOS

There is acceptance and establishment of methodological stereotypes by professionals at the University of Medical Sciences of Villa Clara, Cuba. This is due to theoretical ignorance about the interrelation of linguistics with the methodology of research in the conscious expression of scientifi c language. Th e situation has served as a motivation to these authors to reverse it through the design and development of a course aimed at these university students. The essence of the course lies in the linguistic explanation –applied linguistics–, linked to methodological stereotypes in scientifi c writing. However, in parallel with the teaching process, a study was conducted to perceive possible conceptual changes in students. Hence, the objective of: is research is to expose the experience and educational-research results inherent to the referred course. Methodologically, the heuristic proceedings of language teaching, as well as the literary analysis in the study of the language fi gured in diff erent styles were used for teaching. In the investigative process, the theoretical methods- synthesis and induction-deduction were used to obtain, process, and analyze the information. Empirical methods of observation and documentary review were also used, in order to obtain the primary data of the diagnosis, as well as the final data derived from the evaluation and of a survey applied when completing the course. The mathematical method of percentage analysis served to tabulate and process the information obtained. As for the results, a conceptual change in students may be found from the diagnosis; phase where these did not notice the relationship between methodological patterns and linguistic science. By completing the course, the students proved to be aware of that interrelation. Finally, the authors consider that the greatest significance of the course lies in the reflection, discussion, and analysis of facts sometimes unnoticed by the professionals of science; evidently, a marked purpose is to move static and dogmatic thought through reasons argued and shared, in this case, by the generality of the group.Existe aceptación y establecimiento de estereotipos metodológicos por parte de los profesionales de la Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Villa Clara, Cuba. Ello se debe al desconocimiento teórico acerca de la interrelación de la lingüística con la metodología de la investigación en la expresión consciente del lenguaje científico. La situación ha servido como motivación a estos autores para revertirla mediante el diseño y desarrollo de un posgrado dirigido a dichos universitarios. La esencia del curso radica en la explicación lingüística –lingüística aplicada–, vinculada a estereotipos metodológicos en la redacción científica. No obstante, paralelamente al proceso docente, se realizó un estudio para percibir los posibles cambios conceptuales en los cursistas. De ahí, el objetivo: exponer la experiencia y resultados docente-investigativos inherentes al curso referido. Metodológicamente, se emplearon para la docencia los procedimientos heurísticos propios de la enseñanza de la lengua, así como el análisis literario en el estudio del lenguaje figurado en diferentes estilos. En el proceso investigativo se utilizaron fundamentalmente los métodos teóricos análisis-síntesis e inducción-deducción para obtener, procesar y analizar la información. También se emplearon los métodos empíricos de observación y revisión documental, con el fin de obtener los datos primarios del diagnóstico, así como los datos finales derivados de la evaluación y de una encuesta aplicada al culminar el curso. El método matemático de análisis porcentual sirvió para tabular y procesar la información obtenida. En cuanto a los resultados, se pudo constatar un cambio conceptual en los cursistas a partir del diagnóstico; fase donde estos no se percataban de la relación entre los patrones metodológicos y la ciencia lingüística. Al culminar el posgrado, los alumnos demostraron estar conscientes de dicha interrelación. Finalmente, los autores consideran que la mayor significación del curso radica en la reflexión, la discusión y el análisis de hechos a veces inadvertidos por los profesionales de la ciencia; evidentemente, un propósito marcado es mover el pensamiento estático y dogmático mediante razones argumentadas y compartidas, en este caso, por la generalidad del grupo

Steppes, savannahs, forests and phytodiversity reservoirs during the Pleistocene in the Iberian Peninsula

A palaeobotanical analysis of the Pleistocene floras and vegetation in the Iberian Peninsula shows the existence of patched landscapes with Pinus woodlands, deciduous and mixed forests, parklands (savannah-like), shrublands, steppes and grasslands. Extinctions of Arctotertiary woody taxa are recorded during the Early and Middle Pleistocene, but glacial refugia facilitated the survival of a number of temperate, Mediterranean and Ibero-North African woody angiosperms. The responses of Iberian vegetation to climatic changes during the Pleistocene have been spatially and temporarily complex, including rapid changes of vegetation in parallel to orbital and suborbital variability, and situations of multi-centennial resilience or accommodation to climatic changes. Regional characteristics emerged as soon as for the Middle Pleistocene, if not earlier: Ericaceae in the Atlantic coast indicating wetter climate, thermo-mediterranean elements in the south as currently, and broad-leaf trees in the northeastern. Overall, steppe landscapes and open Pinus woodlands prevailed over many continental regions during the cold spells of the Late Pleistocene. The maintenance of a high phytodiversity during the glacials was linked to several refuge zones in the coastal shelves of the Mediterranean and intramountainous valleys. Northern Iberia, especially on coastal areas, was also patched with populations of tree species, and this is not only documented by palaeobotanical data (pollen, charcoal) but also postulated by phylogeographical models

Impact of measurable residual disease by decentralized flow cytometry: a PETHEMA real-world study in 1076 patients with acute myeloid leukemia

The role of decentralized assessment of measurable residual disease (MRD) for risk stratification in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains largely unknown, and so it does which methodological aspects are critical to empower the evaluation of MRD with prognostic significance, particularly if using multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC). We analyzed 1076 AML patients in first remission after induction chemotherapy, in whom MRD was evaluated by MFC in local laboratories of 60 Hospitals participating in the PETHEMA registry. We also conducted a survey on technical aspects of MRD testing to determine the impact of methodological heterogeneity in the prognostic value of MFC. Our results confirmed the recommended cutoff of 0.1% to discriminate patients with significantly different cumulative-incidence of relapse (-CIR- HR:0.71, P < 0.001) and overall survival (HR: 0.73, P = 0.001), but uncovered the limited prognostic value of MFC based MRD in multivariate and recursive partitioning models including other clinical, genetic and treatment related factors. Virtually all aspects related with methodological, interpretation, and reporting of MFC based MRD testing impacted in its ability to discriminate patients with different CIR. Thus, this study demonstrated that “real-world” assessment of MRD using MFC is prognostic in patients at first remission, and urges greater standardization for improved risk-stratification toward clinical decisions in AML.This study was supported by the Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red – Área de Oncología - del Instituto de Salud Carlos III (CIBERONC; CB16/12/00369, CB16/12/00233, CB16/12/00284 and CB16/12/00400), Instituto de Salud Carlos III/Subdirección General de Investigación Sanitaria (FIS No. PI16/01661, PI16/00517 and PI18/01946), Gerencia Regional de Salud de CyL (GRS 1346/A/16) and the Plan de Investigación de la Universidad de Navarra (PIUNA 2014-18).

Sensitization to isothiazolinones in the Spanish Contact Dermatitis Registry (REIDAC): 2019–2021 epidemiological situation

Background: Current frequency and risk factors for sensitization to methylisothiazolinone (MI), methylchloroisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (MCI/MI), benzisothiazolinone (BIT) and octylisothiazolinone (OIT) in Spain are not well known. Objectives: To study the frequency of sensitization, risk factors and simultaneous sensitization between the four isothiazolinones. Materials and Methods: We analysed all 2019-2021 consecutive patients patch-tested with MI (0.2% aq.), MCI/MI (0.02% aq.), BIT (0.1% pet.) and OIT (0.1% pet) within the Spanish Contact Dermatitis Registry (REIDAC). Results: A total of 2511 patients were analysed. Frequencies of sensitization were: any isothiazolinone 15.7%, MI 6.8%, MCI/MI 4.8%, BIT 3.5% and OIT 0.5%. MI and MCI/MI sensitization was associated with being occupationally active, hand dermatitis, detergents and age over 40. BIT sensitization was associated with leg dermatitis and age over 40. About one in nine MI-positive patients were positive to BIT, whereas one in five BIT-positive patients were positive to MI. Conclusions: Sensitization to MI, MCI/MI and BIT is still common in Spain, while sensitization to OIT is rare. Currently, sensitization to MI and MCI/MI seems to be occupationally related. Although its origin is unknown, sensitization to BIT is more frequent in patients aged over 40 years. Simultaneous sensitization between MI and BIT is uncommon.The Spanish Registry of Contact Dermatitis (REIDAC) is promoted by the Fundación Piel Sana (Academia Española de Dermatología y Venereología), which has received financial support from the Spanish Medicines and Health Products Agency (Agencia Española de Medicamentos y Productos Sanitarios. https://www.boe.es/boe/dias/2022/04/11/pdfs/BOE-A-2022-5975.pdf) and Sanofi. The funders were not involved in the design and conduct of the study, collection, management, analysis and interpretation of data, preparation, review, approval of the manuscript, or decision to submit the manuscript for publication

Universal mental health screening with a focus on suicidal behaviour using smartphones in a Mexican rural community: Protocol for the SMART-SCREEN population-based survey

Introduction Mental disorders represent the second cause of years lived with disability worldwide. Suicide mortality has been targeted as a key public health concern by the WHO. Smartphone technology provides a huge potential to develop massive and fast surveys. Given the vast cultural diversity of Mexico and its abrupt orography, smartphone-based resources are invaluable in order to adequately manage resources, services and preventive measures in the population. The objective of this study is to conduct a universal suicide risk screening in a rural area of Mexico, measuring also other mental health outcomes such as depression, anxiety and alcohol and substance use disorders. Methods and analysis A population-based cross-sectional study with a temporary sampling space of 9 months will be performed between September 2019 and June 2020. We expect to recruit a large percentage of the target population (at least 70%) in a short-term survey of Milpa Alta Delegation, which accounts for 137 927 inhabitants in a territorial extension of 288 km 2. They will be recruited via an institutional call and a massive public campaign to fill in an online questionnaire through mobile-assisted or computer-assisted web app. This questionnaire will include data on general health, validated questionnaires including Well-being Index 5, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale 2, Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, selected questions of the Drug Abuse Screening Test and Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scales and Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-5) questions about self-harm. We will take into account information regarding time to mobile app response and geo-spatial location, and aggregated data on social, demographical and environmental variables. Traditional regression modelling, multilevel mixed methods and data-driven machine learning approaches will be used to test hypotheses regarding suicide risk factors at the individual and the population level. Ethics and dissemination Ethical approval (002/2019) was granted by the Ethics Review Board of the Hospital Psiquiátrico Yucatán, Yucatán (Mexico). This protocol has been registered in ClinicalTrials.gov. The starting date of the study is 3 September 2019. Results will serve for the planning and healthcare of groups with greater mental health needs and will be disseminated via publications in peer-reviewed journal and presented at relevant mental health conferences. Trial registration number NCT04067063

Relación entre lingüística y metodología de la investigación en la expresión consciente del lenguaje científico

It has been observed in the scientific and professional field of the Faculty of Technology and Nursing of Villa Clara University of Medical Sciences, a remarkable acceptance and establishment of norms or methodological standards, in a stereotyped way, without consciously relating the structures of those norms with the principles and tools of science that allows its expression: linguistics. The intention of the authors is to alert about the lack of knowledge about the theoretical foundations inherent to the interrelation of linguistics with research methodology; based on the fact that scientific language requires uses and resources different from those of other types.Se ha observado en el ámbito científico y profesional de la Facultad de Tecnología y Enfermería de la Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Villa Clara, una notable aceptación y establecimiento de normas o patrones metodológicos, de manera estereotipada, sin relacionar conscientemente las estructuras de dichas normas con los principios y herramientas de la ciencia que les permite su expresión: la lingüística. La intención de los autores es alertar sobre las carencias de conocimiento acerca de los fundamentos teóricos inherentes a la interrelación de la lingüística con la metodología de la investigación; basados en que el lenguaje científico requiere usos y recursos diferentes a los de otros tipos.
