Más allá de las dimensiones del cuidado. Sistematización de la experiencia de enseñanza aprendizaje sobre el cuidado

The systematization of the teaching experience in human care is part of the project called Human Care in Nursing Education, Research, Care, and Administration. Its objective is to encourage the sharing of experiences in teaching and learning about Human Care, in order to make known the reach of the interaction and to recognize the knowledge that has been promoted or where a synergy has been generated from practice, collective and personal experience. The design of the study is qualitative; using the Participative Action Research and Learning by Experience methods. In this study, we describe what we do, feel and live, documenting the participants' opinion regarding, what is care? From the interpretation of opinion emerges a conceptual synergy unique, its own, and novel regarding the definition of care given by the respondents in a collective teaching session. Caring is to give love and support to a person in order to minimize the anguish and enter into a stage of tranquility, providing a feeling of security and confidence at the moment. (Affection 1): Caring is direct or indirect attention that is given to the human being founded on holism, observation, communication and feelings in order to strengthen the weaknesses and team work and, in this way, achieves what has been planned. (Affection 5) and among others, human care is the key to caring with human quality founded in affection, confidence and personal presence with the objective that the person achieves the greatest satisfaction in the moment and occasion of his/her health status. (Affection 24).Esta sistematización de experiencia sobre la enseñanza del Cuidado Humano se inscribe en el proyecto titulado Cuidado Humano en Educación, Investigación, Administración y Cuidado en Enfermería, cuya finalidad es favorecer el intercambio de experiencias en la enseñanza y el aprendizaje sobre el Cuidado Humano; concienciar los alcances de la interacción y reconocer el conocimiento que se ha potenciado o dónde se ha generado una sinergia desde la práctica, la experiencia colectiva y la experiencia personal. Materiales y Métodos: El diseño del estudio es cualitativo; utilizando el método Investigación Acción Participativa y el Aprendizaje por Experiencia. En el mismo se describe lo que hacemos, sentimos y vivimos, documentando la opinión de los participantes sobre ¿Qué es el cuidado? De la interpretación de las opiniones, emerge una sinergia conceptual, única, propia y novedosa sobre la definición de cuidado dada por los informantes, en una sesión colectiva de enseñanza. Los resultados son los conceptos de cuidado que emergen de forma empírica y significativa: entre otros, Cuidado es brindar amor y apoyo a la persona para que minimice la angustia y entre en un estadio de tranquilidad, proporcionándole en el momento, un sentimiento de seguridad y confianza. (Afecto 1); y entre otros, el cuidado humano es la clave de la atención, con calidad humana, fundamentada en el afecto, la confianza y con la presencia del personal, con el fin de que la persona alcance la mayor satisfacción, en el momento y en la ocasión, de su estado de salud. (Afecto 24). En conclusión, la sistematización de la práctica pedagógica sobre el cuidado humano proporciona una de las vías para hacer más significativo entre las enfermeras la contribución del cuidado en la vida de los cuidados y de los cuidadores como principio universal, conjuntamente, con el amor, en la vida de los humanos y de la humanidad

Rotational Surfaces in L3\mathbb{L}^3 and Solutions in the Nonlinear Sigma Model

The Gauss map of non-degenerate surfaces in the three-dimensional Minkowski space are viewed as dynamical fields of the two-dimensional O(2,1) Nonlinear Sigma Model. In this setting, the moduli space of solutions with rotational symmetry is completely determined. Essentially, the solutions are warped products of orbits of the 1-dimensional groups of isometries and elastic curves in either a de Sitter plane, a hyperbolic plane or an anti de Sitter plane. The main tools are the equivalence of the two-dimensional O(2,1) Nonlinear Sigma Model and the Willmore problem, and the description of the surfaces with rotational symmetry. A complete classification of such surfaces is obtained in this paper. Indeed, a huge new family of Lorentzian rotational surfaces with a space-like axis is presented. The description of this new class of surfaces is based on a technique of surgery and a gluing process, which is illustrated by an algorithm.Comment: PACS: 11.10.Lm; 11.10.Ef; 11.15.-q; 11.30.-j; 02.30.-f; 02.40.-k. 45 pages, 11 figure

Search for a W' boson decaying to a bottom quark and a top quark in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

Results are presented from a search for a W' boson using a dataset corresponding to 5.0 inverse femtobarns of integrated luminosity collected during 2011 by the CMS experiment at the LHC in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV. The W' boson is modeled as a heavy W boson, but different scenarios for the couplings to fermions are considered, involving both left-handed and right-handed chiral projections of the fermions, as well as an arbitrary mixture of the two. The search is performed in the decay channel W' to t b, leading to a final state signature with a single lepton (e, mu), missing transverse energy, and jets, at least one of which is tagged as a b-jet. A W' boson that couples to fermions with the same coupling constant as the W, but to the right-handed rather than left-handed chiral projections, is excluded for masses below 1.85 TeV at the 95% confidence level. For the first time using LHC data, constraints on the W' gauge coupling for a set of left- and right-handed coupling combinations have been placed. These results represent a significant improvement over previously published limits.Comment: Submitted to Physics Letters B. Replaced with version publishe

Search for the standard model Higgs boson decaying into two photons in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=7 TeV

A search for a Higgs boson decaying into two photons is described. The analysis is performed using a dataset recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC from pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.8 inverse femtobarns. Limits are set on the cross section of the standard model Higgs boson decaying to two photons. The expected exclusion limit at 95% confidence level is between 1.4 and 2.4 times the standard model cross section in the mass range between 110 and 150 GeV. The analysis of the data excludes, at 95% confidence level, the standard model Higgs boson decaying into two photons in the mass range 128 to 132 GeV. The largest excess of events above the expected standard model background is observed for a Higgs boson mass hypothesis of 124 GeV with a local significance of 3.1 sigma. The global significance of observing an excess with a local significance greater than 3.1 sigma anywhere in the search range 110-150 GeV is estimated to be 1.8 sigma. More data are required to ascertain the origin of this excess.Comment: Submitted to Physics Letters

Measurement of the polarisation of W bosons produced with large transverse momentum in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment

This paper describes an analysis of the angular distribution of W->enu and W->munu decays, using data from pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2010, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 35 pb^-1. Using the decay lepton transverse momentum and the missing transverse energy, the W decay angular distribution projected onto the transverse plane is obtained and analysed in terms of helicity fractions f0, fL and fR over two ranges of W transverse momentum (ptw): 35 < ptw < 50 GeV and ptw > 50 GeV. Good agreement is found with theoretical predictions. For ptw > 50 GeV, the values of f0 and fL-fR, averaged over charge and lepton flavour, are measured to be : f0 = 0.127 +/- 0.030 +/- 0.108 and fL-fR = 0.252 +/- 0.017 +/- 0.030, where the first uncertainties are statistical, and the second include all systematic effects.Comment: 19 pages plus author list (34 pages total), 9 figures, 11 tables, revised author list, matches European Journal of Physics C versio

Observation of a new chi_b state in radiative transitions to Upsilon(1S) and Upsilon(2S) at ATLAS

The chi_b(nP) quarkonium states are produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.4 fb^-1, these states are reconstructed through their radiative decays to Upsilon(1S,2S) with Upsilon->mu+mu-. In addition to the mass peaks corresponding to the decay modes chi_b(1P,2P)->Upsilon(1S)gamma, a new structure centered at a mass of 10.530+/-0.005 (stat.)+/-0.009 (syst.) GeV is also observed, in both the Upsilon(1S)gamma and Upsilon(2S)gamma decay modes. This is interpreted as the chi_b(3P) system.Comment: 5 pages plus author list (18 pages total), 2 figures, 1 table, corrected author list, matches final version in Physical Review Letter

Search for displaced vertices arising from decays of new heavy particles in 7 TeV pp collisions at ATLAS

We present the results of a search for new, heavy particles that decay at a significant distance from their production point into a final state containing charged hadrons in association with a high-momentum muon. The search is conducted in a pp-collision data sample with a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 33 pb^-1 collected in 2010 by the ATLAS detector operating at the Large Hadron Collider. Production of such particles is expected in various scenarios of physics beyond the standard model. We observe no signal and place limits on the production cross-section of supersymmetric particles in an R-parity-violating scenario as a function of the neutralino lifetime. Limits are presented for different squark and neutralino masses, enabling extension of the limits to a variety of other models.Comment: 8 pages plus author list (20 pages total), 8 figures, 1 table, final version to appear in Physics Letters

Measurement of the inclusive isolated prompt photon cross-section in pp collisions at sqrt(s)= 7 TeV using 35 pb-1 of ATLAS data

A measurement of the differential cross-section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is presented. The measurement covers the pseudorapidity ranges |eta|<1.37 and 1.52<=|eta|<2.37 in the transverse energy range 45<=E_T<400GeV. The results are based on an integrated luminosity of 35 pb-1, collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The yields of the signal photons are measured using a data-driven technique, based on the observed distribution of the hadronic energy in a narrow cone around the photon candidate and the photon selection criteria. The results are compared with next-to-leading order perturbative QCD calculations and found to be in good agreement over four orders of magnitude in cross-section.Comment: 7 pages plus author list (18 pages total), 2 figures, 4 tables, final version published in Physics Letters

Reducing heterotic M-theory to five dimensional supergravity on a manifold with boundary

This paper constructs the reduction of heterotic $M$-theory in eleven dimensions to a supergravity model on a manifold with boundary in five dimensions using a Calabi-Yau three-fold. New results are presented for the boundary terms in the action and for the boundary conditions on the bulk fields. Some general features of dualisation on a manifold with boundary are used to explain the origin of some topological terms in the action. The effect of gaugino condensation on the fermion boundary conditions leads to a `twist' in the chirality of the gravitino which can provide an uplifting mechanism in the vacuum energy to cancel the cosmological constant after moduli stabilisation.Comment: 16 pages, RevTe
