AI for learning: Lessons from the Classroom at St. Mary\u27s University

To what extent should college teachers guard against student use of AI? To what extent should we endorse and regulate the use of AI to enhance student learning? How can this be done? In this presentation, I share the results of a semester-long experiment in the use of AI for learning with students at St. Mary’s. Participants were registered for two distinct sections of a course in theology. Students in the control section were instructed not to use AI without explicit permission. Students in the experimental section were trained in AI prompting, required to use AI to work toward their learning goals, and asked to report on their interactions with the machine. The results point to several key distinctions that ought to inform AI classroom policy, including product-oriented v. process-oriented use of AI and plagiarism v. self-replacement. Survey data also point to existing AI habits and priorities among students with significant pedagogical implications.https://commons.stmarytx.edu/rsc25pres/1018/thumbnail.jp

Aplicación del proceso de atención de enfermería en paciente adulto diabética con dengue con datos de alarma en el área de medicina interna del Hospital Martin Icaza

The following work concerns the status of a 53-year-old woman with dengue with alarm data, accompanied by similarities such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. The patient's entire clinical ensemble is referred to a hospital house for etiological study and timely treatment. Dengue caused by the bite of an Aedes aegypti vector is classified as classic, with alarm data, or severe dengue already implying the presence of bleeding, in this case being a serious situation that has claimed lives worldwide and in depressed immune people (diabetes) represents a high mortality rate, hence the importance of timely intervention by the health team so that the admitted patient does not worsen her clinical condition. Dengue is a disease that is progressing at a high speed to complicate itself in people with risk factors such as a diabetic person. With the data obtained using the descriptive method, a care plan was developed that contributes to the improvement of the patient by contributing as a nurse my interventions in the health team. Thanks to this clinical case, I conclude that the Nursing Care Process is essential to provide timely and effective care in patients with comorbidities plus an acquired and dangerous disease such as dengue. In this case I experienced humanism and love in providing care for the patient's early recovery, I delved out of the case since the patient is my mother.El siguiente trabajo refiere el estado de una mujer de 53 años de edad que presenta dengue con datos de alarma, acompañada de comorbilidades como diabetes tipo 2 e hipertensión.

Conducta obstétrica ante trabajo de parto pre término en primigesta con embarazo gemelar.

By definition, it is a high-risk pregnancy because it is highly associated with pregnancy-related illnesses. Preterm delivery is the main complication, followed by hypertension syndrome and fetal growth retardation. Threatened preterm labor was classically defined as the presence of regular uterine movements associated with progressive changes in the cervix, of which occurred between 22 and 36.6 weeks of gestation. For most patients diagnosed at risk of preterm delivery and hospitalization, the true risk of preterm delivery is 20-30%. Etiology of PP encompasses a broad set of interrelated factors, which guides a multicausal explanation, in which factors are socioeconomic, occupational, lifestyle, genetic literature, especially infants. It was proposed to consider the rate of threat of preterm birth and risk factors for people in our context, since it showed a greater risk .By definition, it is a high-risk pregnancy because it is highly associated with pregnancy-related illnesses.

Factores de riesgo asociados a la deshidratación en menores de 5 años en un Hospital Público de Guayaquil

PDFLa investigación surgió debido a la alta incidencia de deshidratación teniendo como agente causal en su mayoría enfermedades diarreicas y sus mplicaciones en esta población, las cuales representan una significativa causa de morbilidad y mortalidad infantil. El objetivo principal del estudio fue determinar los factores de riesgo asociados con la deshidratación en niños menores de 5 años. La metodología empleada fue cuantitativa, transversal y retrospectiva, analizando las historias clínicas de 210 pacientes atendidos en el Hospital General Guasmo Sur. Los datos se recolectaron mediante una hoja de cálculo estructurada y se analizaron utilizando técnicas de estadística descriptiva. Los resultados mostraron una mayor prevalencia de casos en niños entre 2 y 4 años, con una notable diferencia de género, siendo las niñas las más afectadas. La mayoría de los pacientes provenían de áreas urbanas y urbanas marginales, lo que sugiere una mayor incidencia de diarrea aguda en estas zonas. Además, se identificó que la gastroenteritis fue la principal causa de deshidratación, seguida por enfermedades febriles y quemaduras. Los factores como la ausencia de lactancia materna y el uso previo de medicamentos también fueron significativos. Las conclusiones destacan la necesidad de intervenciones específicas para abordar los factores de riesgo identificados, como la mejora en las prácticas de lactancia materna, el acceso a soluciones de rehidratación oral y la educación sobre la importancia de la higiene. Estas medidas podrían reducir la incidencia de deshidratación y sus complicaciones en niños menores de cinco años, mejorando así los resultados de salud en esta población vulnerable.The research originated due to the high incidence of dehydration, primarily caused by diarrheal diseases and their complications within this population, which represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among children. The main objective of the study was to determine the risk factors associated with dehydration in children under 5 years old. The methodology employed was quantitative, cross-sectional, and retrospective, analyzing the medical records of 210 patients treated at Hospital General Guasmo Sur. Data were collected using a structured spreadsheet and analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques. The results showed a higher prevalence of cases in children between 2 and 4 years old, with a notable gender difference, with girls being the most affected. Most patients came from urban and marginal urban areas, suggesting a higher incidence of acute diarrhea in these zones. Additionally, gastroenteritis was identified as the principal cause of dehydration, followed by febrile illnesses and burns. Factors such as the absence of breastfeeding and prior use of medications were also significant. The conclusions highlight the need for specific interventions to address the identified risk factors, such as improving breastfeeding practices, access to oral rehydration solutions, and education on the importance of hygiene. These measures could reduce the incidence of dehydration and its complications in children under five, thereby improving health outcomes in this vulnerable population.Universidad de Guayaquil.
