Las competencias informales y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes de primer ingreso en la Facultad de Enfermería del Centro Regional Universitario de Veraguas, año 2014

Durante la formación profesional del individuo, juega un papel preponderante el dominio de competencias informacionales, las cuales contribuyen para lograr un aprendizaje permanente a lo largo de su vida. A partir de esta premisa, se planifica y realiza un estudio para identificar las habilidades y destrezas en el acceso y uso de la información, a un grupo de estudiantes de primer ingreso, a fin de verificar el papel de las competencias informacionales en su rendimiento académico. Estudio descriptivo-transversal que involucra a 44 estudiantes de la Facultad de Enfermería, Centro Regional Universitario de Veraguas (CRUV). Para obtener la información se utilizó un cuestionario, aplicado durante los últimos días de noviembre de 2014. Se concluye que los estudiantes deben recibir mayor orientación sobre la oferta de la biblioteca en cuanto a los recursos documentales en papel, con énfasis en la información en formato electrónico. De igual forma, mejorar sus competencias informacionales. Por ello se propone un Programa de Alfabetización Informacional (ALFIN), que debe ser ofrecido por el personal de la biblioteca, para los estudiantes de primer ingreso en el CRUV

Greek short stories in the last quarter of the twentieth century

The thesis examines Greek short stories written and published since the fall of the dictatorship in Greece in 1974, a year marking the beginning of the country's increasing opening to western lifestyles, mentalities and preoccupations. The present research explores two questions: How do Greek short stories of this period respond to the challenges of the postmodern condition, and what is the picture of the postmodern that one could draw from these texts. To this goal more than a hundred short stories are examined, by Sotiris Dimitriou, Michel Fais, Rhea Galanaki, E. Ch. Gonatas, Yiorgos loannou, Christophoros Milionis, Dimitris Nollas, I. Ch. Papadimitrakopoulos, Ersi Sotiropoulou, Christos Vakalopoulos, and Zyranna Zateli. The thesis is structured on a thematic basis, studying the major themes of reality and the subject, in order to evaluate the kind and degree of subversion that this fundamental bipolar axis of modern thought is undergoing in the postmodern condition. The readings are informed by contemporary theory, ranging from microhistory and Bakhtinian dialogism to poststructuralism and deconstruction, Levinas's ethical theory and Wittgensteinian language games. The textual analysis reveals that the traditional notion of reality as a unified totality is coming under severe strain; the critique mounted by the texts ranges from negative recognition of cosmological plurality through epistemological failure to an increasingly positive recognition of multiple incommensurate universes, be that by means of metafiction or, more radically still, a magic realism that transcends the world of the text to imbue performatively the world of the reader. The reality of the past in the form of historical truth is another target of scrutiny, as the unearthing of multiple insignificant, private and a-systemic events undermines the formerly dominant monolithic representations of the past and uncover its discursive construction, thereby facilitating the emergence of marginal historical subjects by means of fictional terms. Accordingly, the subject is no longer represented as a dominant and autonomous agent but as discursively constructed within a web of power relations. Yet this predicament creates the potential for a narrative identity and an alternative ethics founded on the acknowledgment of difference and interpersonal relations. Lastly, games, and especially language games, as a particular trope of merging reality and the subject, signal the cultural determination of irredeemable difference and plurality that is a constant in postmodern critique. Apart from suggesting the significance of the texts studied and proposing novel approaches to them, the thesis also promotes the re-evaluation of the short story as a genre in the study of the contemporary, while at the same time offering a detailed account of particular instances of postmodern critique on the fundaments of modern thought.</p

Búsqueda, acceso y uso de información por estudiantes de primer ingreso del Centro Regional Universitario de Veraguas (CRUV), Universidad de Panamá

Estudio que identifica el dominio que tienen los estudiantes de primer ingreso de la Facultad de Enfermería del CRU de Veraguas, sobre los procesos de búsqueda, acceso y uso de información en la biblioteca. La investigación descriptiva de tipo exploratoria y de corte transversal, se desarrolla con 44 estudiantes, mediante el uso de un cuestionario de 22 preguntas. Los resultados muestran que aún existen diversos factores que impiden que los estudiantes hagan uso del recurso documental de la biblioteca. En este sentido, los estudiantes indican la existencia de programas formales de capacitación; además, que el fondo documental de la biblioteca pueda ser consultado desde los hogares, principalmente las bases de datos comerciales. Por tanto, el programa de formación de usuarios de la biblioteca se debe revisar y adecuar al manejo y uso de la información en formato electrónico, con miras a formar usuarios autosuficientes
