Influencia del Compromiso Organizacional sobre el Aprendizaje Organizacional de los docentes de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional “Francisco Morazán”

This document shows the results of the research conducted at the National Pedagogical University "Francisco Morazán" to determine the influence of Organizational Commitment on Organizational Learning. The sample consisted of 118 teachers from the Tegucigalpa campus. To measure variables, the questionnaire designed by Watkins and Marsick and the scale proposed by Allen and Meyer were used. The reliability of the instrument was determined by Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, obtaining 0.912 for the Organizational Learning variable, and 0.832 for Organizational Commitment one.The Pearson coefficient of determination was established to measure the effect of the independent variable on the dependent one, finding r = 0.718 and R2 of 0.516 to p =000<α: 0.05 values. The findings suggest that teachers committed to the institution contribute to the transformation processes and guide themselves to learn and improve their ability to do new things.Este documento muestra los resultados de la investigación realizada en la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional “Francisco Morazán” para determinar la influencia del Compromiso Organizacional sobre el Aprendizaje Organizacional.

La literatura oral y escrita del municipio de San Juan Nonualco, departamento de La Paz

La investigación se realizó en el Municipio de San Juan Nonualco, lo cual pretende proteger todas las manifestaciones culturales de ese lugar, que hoy en día se encuentran en proceso de extinción, caso contrario dentro de poco quedarán en el olvido la enorme riqueza sociocultural, debido a que no hay evidencia documental que manifieste interés por rescatar la cultura, el, arte, la historia, tradiciones y la producción literaria de dicho municipio. En el ámbito histórico los Nonualcos es un pueblo muy antiguo, probablemente son anteriores a los grupos nahuas y mayas en territorio salvadoreño. El estudio describe la historia de San Juan Nonualco como municipio, su historia, sus costumbres y tradiciones más representativas como Semana Santa, El ritual del día de la cruz, Las Palancas, La danza del tigre y el venado, entre otros. Además, se recoge un símbolo representativo del municipio, como es el Padre Cosme, quien es considerado un mártir de la localidad. Finalmente se destaca las tradiciones, costumbres y cultur

Síntesis y caracterización de nano-monocristales de Glicina-Nitrato de Sodio, GSN, con propiedades ópticas no-lineales

Cristales de glicina-nitrato de sodio (GSN) fueron sintetizados a partir de evaporación de soluciones acuosas a temperatura ambiente. Tales cristales fueron caracterizados por espectroscopia infrarroja (IR), espectroscopia ultravioleta-visible (UV-Vis), difracción de rayos-X (DRX), análisis térmico (DTA-TGA) y microscopia electrónica de barrido (MEB). La espectroscopia UV-Vis muestra que los materiales son transparentes en el rango de 500- 1000 nm, indicando que son deseables para la generación de segundo armónico. Los resultados de difracción de rayos-X confirman que se cristalizan en el sistema  monoclínico grupo espacial Cc con parámetros de red a = 14,329 D, b = 5,2662 D, c = 9,1129 D, con ángulo β = 119,10°. El análisis térmico muestra que los cristales son estables por debajo de los 190 °C, lo cual es de suma importancia para aplicaciones tecnológicas futuras

Bacteria producing L-asparaginase isolated from Peruvian saline environments

L-asparaginase (EC 3.5.1.1) hydrolyzes L-asparagine in L-aspartic acid and ammonia. Its efficiency is subject to its kinetics and specificity on the substrate, characteristics that vary from one source to another. Thus, microorganisms from saline environments constitute a phylogenetic and metabolically heterogeneous group for the search of new enzymes. Therefore, the objective of this study was the phenotypic and genotypic characterization of bacteria with L-asparaginase activity isolated from Maras, Pilluana and Chilca salterns. The 24 evaluated bacteria were classified as 38% Gram-negative bacilli and 54% positive; and 8% Gram-positive cocci. The majority grew in 5% salt water, pH 7.0 and 37 °C, all assimilated glucose. Of the 24 bacteria that produced L-asparaginase in solid medium, enzymatic activity was determined in submerged cultures by the Nessler method in 14 of them. The CH11, M62, M64, M68, and P19 strains identified as Bacillus sp., by partial sequencing of the 16S ribosomal gene, presented higher L-asparaginase activity and instability due to the presence of proteases. Saline environments bacteria are potential sources for the prospective production of L-asparaginase to use them as a therapeutic agent and in the food industry

Validation of an open source, remote web‐based eye‐tracking method (WebGazer) for research in early childhood

Measuring eye movements remotely via the participant's webcam promises to be an attractive methodological addition to in-person eye-tracking in the lab. However, there is a lack of systematic research comparing remote web-based eye-tracking with in-lab eye-tracking in young children. We report a multi-lab study that compared these two measures in an anticipatory looking task with toddlers using WebGazer.js and jsPsych. Results of our remotely tested sample of 18-27-month-old toddlers (N = 125) revealed that web-based eye-tracking successfully captured goal-based action predictions, although the proportion of the goal-directed anticipatory looking was lower compared to the in-lab sample (N = 70). As expected, attrition rate was substantially higher in the web-based (42%) than the in-lab sample (10%). Excluding trials based on visual inspection of the match of time-locked gaze coordinates and the participant's webcam video overlayed on the stimuli was an important preprocessing step to reduce noise in the data. We discuss the use of this remote web-based method in comparison with other current methodological innovations. Our study demonstrates that remote web-based eye-tracking can be a useful tool for testing toddlers, facilitating recruitment of larger and more diverse samples; a caveat to consider is the larger drop-out rate

The genomes of two key bumblebee species with primitive eusocial organization

Background: The shift from solitary to social behavior is one of the major evolutionary transitions. Primitively eusocial bumblebees are uniquely placed to illuminate the evolution of highly eusocial insect societies. Bumblebees are also invaluable natural and agricultural pollinators, and there is widespread concern over recent population declines in some species. High-quality genomic data will inform key aspects of bumblebee biology, including susceptibility to implicated population viability threats. Results: We report the high quality draft genome sequences of Bombus terrestris and Bombus impatiens, two ecologically dominant bumblebees and widely utilized study species. Comparing these new genomes to those of the highly eusocial honeybee Apis mellifera and other Hymenoptera, we identify deeply conserved similarities, as well as novelties key to the biology of these organisms. Some honeybee genome features thought to underpin advanced eusociality are also present in bumblebees, indicating an earlier evolution in the bee lineage. Xenobiotic detoxification and immune genes are similarly depauperate in bumblebees and honeybees, and multiple categories of genes linked to social organization, including development and behavior, show high conservation. Key differences identified include a bias in bumblebee chemoreception towards gustation from olfaction, and striking differences in microRNAs, potentially responsible for gene regulation underlying social and other traits. Conclusions: These two bumblebee genomes provide a foundation for post-genomic research on these key pollinators and insect societies. Overall, gene repertoires suggest that the route to advanced eusociality in bees was mediated by many small changes in many genes and processes, and not by notable expansion or depauperation

PNEUMOLOGIA E SUAS EVIDÊNCIAS CLÍNICAS COM ÊNFASE NA DPOC: REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is considered the fourth cause of death in Brazil, a worrying scenario considering that only 10% of those diagnosed receive adequate treatment. The present review study sought to evaluate new advances in the management of COPD exacerbations, documented through clinical and randomized studies. This is an integrative review research carried out using the PubMed database, which took into account the following inclusion criteria: clinical trials and controlled and randomized tests; articles published in the last year; that had full text available and that addressed the management of COPD exacerbations. Xiyanping has been found to have the ability to inhibit the inflammatory response throughout the body and provide a significant synergistic effect when combined with antibiotics, resulting in improved lung function in elderly people with acute exacerbation of COPD. Furthermore, a reduction in airway reactivity and an increase in secretion clearance were observed. Patients with COPD who have high baseline FENO levels and have not been previously treated may benefit from the use of salmeterol/fluticasone instead of tiotropium, indicating that high FENO levels may predict a favorable response to ICS/LABA treatment. Finally, acupuncture has been shown to be an effective and safe adjunctive approach in the treatment of acute exacerbations of COPD, with patients reporting significant improvements.A doença pulmonar obstrutiva crônica (DPOC) é considerada a quarta causa de morte no Brasil, um cenário preocupante tendo em vista que apenas 10% dos que possuem o diagnóstico realizam o tratamento adequado. O presente estudo de revisão buscou avaliar novos avanços para o manejo das exacerbações da DPOC, documentados por meio de estudos clínicos e randomizados. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de revisão integrativa realizada por meio da base de dados PubMed, que levou em consideração os seguintes critérios de inclusão: ensaios clínicos e testes controlados e aleatórios; artigos publicados no último ano; que possuíam texto completo disponível e que abordassem acerca do manejo das exacerbações da DPOC. Verificou-se que o Xiyanping possui a capacidade de inibir a resposta inflamatória em todo o corpo e proporcionar um efeito sinérgico significativo quando combinado com antibióticos, resultando na melhora da função pulmonar em idosos com exacerbação aguda da DPOC. Além disso, foi observada uma redução na reatividade das vias aéreas e um aumento na eliminação de secreções. Pacientes com DPOC que apresentam altos níveis basais de FENO e não haviam sido tratados anteriormente podem se beneficiar do uso de salmeterol/fluticasona em vez de tiotrópio, indicando que altos níveis de FENO podem predizer uma resposta favorável ao tratamento com ICS/LABA. Por último, a acupuntura demonstrou ser uma abordagem adjuvante eficaz e segura no tratamento de exacerbações agudas da DPOC, com relatos de melhorias significativas por parte dos pacientes

PERSPECTIVA PSICOSOCIAL DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS

Hoy en día es imprescindible abordar el problema de los derechos desde una perspectiva holística que integre la posición que el individuo ocupa en la sociedad y el impacto de los hechos sociales sobre su persona. Esta perspectiva va por lo tanto más allá del enfoque clásico de las violaciones a los derechos civiles y políticos de los ciudadanos sino, también incluye sus derechos económicos, sociales y culturales. Cualquier enfoque de tipo holístico debe entender al ser humano en su ambiente, social, cultural, natural y en función a todas las estructuras existentes, por más sutiles que sean o invisibles que parezcan. Precisamente este libro permite apreciar la dimensión amplia y compleja del ser en sociedad y las interacciones que de ambas partes se generan y las ramificaciones que producen. No es un ejercicio fácil y los editores de este volumen han logrado un salto cuántico al poder congregar en un solo espacio miradas que en otras circunstancias podrían haber sido opuestas y hasta contrarias a nuestra comprensión de problemas que, en efecto, tienen raíces comunes. El libro está dividido en 5 secciones, El espíritu de los tiempos actuales y los Derechos Humanos, Construcción ciudadana y ejercicio de los Derechos Humanos, Violaciones a Derechos Humanos, victimizaciones y su atención, Ejercicio de los Derechos Humanos y situaciones disruptivas y Defensa y defensores de Derechos Humanos.Manuel Gutiérrez Romero Jessica Ruiz Magañ
