La educación en valores humanos: fundamento de las estrategias educativas Education on Human Values: Basis for educative strategies

El presente trabajo responde esencialmente a la necesidad de capacitar a los recursos humanos que intervienen en el proceso de formación de los profesionales de la salud (docentes, trabajadores no docentes y directivos) para asumir con plenitud la tarea del desarrollo del trabajo formativo sobre las actuales concepciones filosóficas, pedagógicas y psicológicas, que están elaboradas tanto a escala nacional como internacional. Este diplomado contribuye al desarrollo sobre bases científicas de la estrategia educativa y los proyectos educativos que se elaboran en el Centro. Por ello el objetivo es el de hacer una propuesta de actividad de postgrado (Diplomado) que permita la preparación teórica y metodológica del personal docente y de dirección de la Educación Médica Superior para desarrollar la educación en valores a través del proyecto educativo, así como brindar herramientas prácticas para el diseño de las estrategias educativas. El diplomado que se muestra está aprobado como actividad de los programas nacionales e internacionales de postgrados del MINSAP y la ENSAP, y ha sido impartido en dos versiones en el ISCM “Carlos J Finlay” de Camaguey con resultados positivos. Este curso de superación es el resultado lógico del desarrollo de tesis de maestrías y de otros cursos cortos contemplados en el plan de superación del Instituto de varios profesores involucrados en el mismoThis work responds essentially to the necessity of qualifying the human resources that intervene in the health professionals’ formation process to assume with great quality the carrying out of the formative work, taking into consideration the current philosophical, pedagogical and psychological conceptions elaborated at national as well as international levels.  This postgraduate course contributes to the development on scientific bases of the educational strategy and the educational projects that are elaborated.   For this reason, the main objective is making a proposal of postgraduate studies that foster professors’ theoretical and methodological preparation, to develop values education through the educational project, as well as to offer practical tools for the design of educational strategies. The postgraduate course that is presented is approved as an activity of the national and international programs of postgraduate studies of MINSAP and ENSAP, and it has been carried out in two versions in “Carlos J Finlay” Medical School in Camagüey with positive results. This course is the logical result of the development of master degree scientific papers and of other short courses contemplated in the Medical School professors’ development planning

Further molecular characterization of weed-associated begomoviruses in Brazil with an emphasis on Sida spp Caracterização molecular adicional de begomovírus associados a plantas daninhas no Brasil, com ênfase em Sida spp

Begomoviruses are whitefly-transmitted, single-stranded DNA viruses that are often associated with weed plants. The aim of this study was to further characterize the diversity of begomoviruses infecting weeds (mostly Sida spp.) in Brazil. Total DNA was extracted from weed samples collected in Viçosa (Minas Gerais state) and in some municipalities of Alagoas state in 2009 and 2010. Viral genomes were amplified by RCA, cloned and sequenced. A total of 26 DNA-A clones were obtained. Sequence analysis indicated the presence of 10 begomoviruses. All viral isolates from Blainvillea rhomboidea belonged to the same species, Blainvillea yellow spot virus (BlYSV ), thereby suggesting that BlYSV may be the only begomovirus present in this weed species. Four isolates represent new species, for which the following names are proposed: Sida yellow blotch virus (SiYBV), Sida yellow net virus (SiYNV), Sida mottle Alagoas virus (SiMoAV) and Sida yellow mosaic Alagoas virus (SiYMAV). Recombination events were detected among the SiYBV isolates and in the SiYNV isolate. These results constitute further evidence of the high species diversity of begomoviruses in Sida spp. However, the role of this weed species as a source of begomoviruses infecting crop plants remains to be determined.<br>Begomovírus são vírus de DNA circular fita simples transmitidos por mosca branca, os quais são frequentemente associados com plantas daninhas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a diversidade de begomovírus infectando plantas daninhas (principalmente Sida spp.) no Brasil. DNA total foi extraído a partir de plantas daninhas coletadas em Viçosa (Minas Gerais) e em alguns municípios do estado de Alagoas em 2009 e 2010. Os genomas virais foram amplificados por RCA, clonados e sequenciados. Um total de 26 clones de DNA-A foram obtidos. A análise das sequências indicou a presença de dez diferentes begomovírus. Todos os isolados originários de Blainvillea rhomboidea pertencem a uma única espécie viral, Blainvillea yellow spot virus (BlYSV), sugerindo que o BlYSV pode ser o único begomovírus presente nesta espécie de planta invasora. Quatro isolados representam espécies novas, para as quais os seguintes nomes são propostos: Sida yellow blotch virus (SiYBV), Sida yellow net virus (SiYNV), Sida mottle Alagoas virus (SiMoAV) e Sida yellow mosaic Alagoas virus (SiYMAV). Eventos de recombinação foram detectados entre isolados de SiYBV e no isolado de SiYNV. Estes resultados constituem uma evidência adicional da alta diversidade de espécies de begomovírus em Sida spp. Contudo, o possível papel dessas plantas daninhas como fonte de begomovírus para plantas cultivadas ainda permanece indeterminado
