Influence of Leadership Education in the Midst of Teaching-Learning Processes in the Classroom

En el presente artículo se analiza la influencia de la educación en liderazgo en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje en el aula de las instituciones educativas públicas de la región Andina de Colombia. La metodología usada fue de enfoque cualitativo, de manera inductiva y descriptiva. Los datos obtenidos se recolectaron a través de entrevista semiestructurada compuesta por once preguntas a estudiantes y profesores de Educación Media, pertenecientes a las instituciones educativas públicas de la zona en cuestión. A partir de las experiencias los docentes y estudiantes forman una definición de liderazgo, identificando cuáles son sus características y como esto repercute en los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje. Se identifica que el liderazgo en educación es transversal en todas las asignaturas y que no es meramente un cumplimiento de deberes académicos, sino que incluye el desarrollo de las capacidades personales.  This article analyzes the influence of leadership education on teaching and learning processes in the classroom of public educational institutions in the Andean region of Colombia. The methodology used was a qualitative approach, inductive and descriptive. The data obtained was collected through a semi-structured interview composed of eleven questions to students and teachers of Secondary Education, belonging to public educational institutions in the area in question. From the experiences, teachers and students form a definition of leadership, identifying its characteristics and how this impacts the teaching and learning processes. It is identified that leadership in education is transversal in all subjects and that it is not merely a fulfillment of academic duties, but includes the development of personal capabilities

ENGIU: Encuentro Nacional de Grupos de Investigación de UNIMINUTO.

El desarrollo del prototipo para el sistema de detección de Mina Antipersona (MAP), inicia desde el semillero ADSSOF perteneciente al programa de Administración en Seguridad y Salud en el trabajo de la UNIMINUTO, se realiza a partir de un detector de metales que emite una señal audible, que el usuario puede interpretar como aviso de presencia de un objeto metálico, en este caso una MAP. La señal audible se interpreta como un dato, como ese dato no es perceptible a 5 metros de distancia, se implementa el transmisor de Frecuencia Modulada FM por la facilidad de modulación y la escogencia de frecuencia de transmisión de acuerdo con las normas y resolución del Ministerio de Comunicaciones; de manera que esta sea la plataforma base para enviar los datos obtenidos a una frecuencia establecida. La idea es que el ser humano no explore zonas peligrosas y buscar la forma de crear un sistema que permita eliminar ese riesgo, por otro lado, buscar la facilidad de uso de elementos ya disponibles en el mercado

Incidence of severe critical events in paediatric anaesthesia (APRICOT): a prospective multicentre observational study in 261 hospitals in Europe

Background Little is known about the incidence of severe critical events in children undergoing general anaesthesia in Europe. We aimed to identify the incidence, nature, and outcome of severe critical events in children undergoing anaesthesia, and the associated potential risk factors. Methods The APRICOT study was a prospective observational multicentre cohort study of children from birth to 15 years of age undergoing elective or urgent anaesthesia for diagnostic or surgical procedures. Children were eligible for inclusion during a 2-week period determined prospectively by each centre. There were 261 participating centres across 33 European countries. The primary endpoint was the occurence of perioperative severe critical events requiring immediate intervention. A severe critical event was defined as the occurrence of respiratory, cardiac, allergic, or neurological complications requiring immediate intervention and that led (or could have led) to major disability or death. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT01878760. Findings Between April 1, 2014, and Jan 31, 2015, 31â127 anaesthetic procedures in 30â874 children with a mean age of 6·35 years (SD 4·50) were included. The incidence of perioperative severe critical events was 5·2% (95% CI 5·0â5·5) with an incidence of respiratory critical events of 3·1% (2·9â3·3). Cardiovascular instability occurred in 1·9% (1·7â2·1), with an immediate poor outcome in 5·4% (3·7â7·5) of these cases. The all-cause 30-day in-hospital mortality rate was 10 in 10â000. This was independent of type of anaesthesia. Age (relative risk 0·88, 95% CI 0·86â0·90; p<0·0001), medical history, and physical condition (1·60, 1·40â1·82; p<0·0001) were the major risk factors for a serious critical event. Multivariate analysis revealed evidence for the beneficial effect of years of experience of the most senior anaesthesia team member (0·99, 0·981â0·997; p<0·0048 for respiratory critical events, and 0·98, 0·97â0·99; p=0·0039 for cardiovascular critical events), rather than the type of health institution or providers. Interpretation This study highlights a relatively high rate of severe critical events during the anaesthesia management of children for surgical or diagnostic procedures in Europe, and a large variability in the practice of paediatric anaesthesia. These findings are substantial enough to warrant attention from national, regional, and specialist societies to target education of anaesthesiologists and their teams and implement strategies for quality improvement in paediatric anaesthesia.
