EL DISEÑO POLITICO DE LOS 90 Y LOS DESAFIOS DE LA GESTION UNIVERSITARIA.

La presentación se desarrollará a partir de la descripción de tres ejes condicionantes de la política en educación superior : El quiebre de la idea de progreso unida a la educación en la configuración del contexto socio-económico de los 90 y el cambio educativo La matriz cultural interna que ha impregnado la política universitaria a partir de los modelos de vinculación estado- sistema superior en los últimos 30 años La agenda de problemas del sector y la Ley Superior. Aspectos que se han visto favorecidos y aspectos bloqueados, inhibidos Se parte de entender que las políticas de Educación Superior constituyen un capítulo fundamental en el entramado de políticas sociales globales de un país, ya que ellas determinan una forma particular de distribución social del conocimiento, un sistema particular de producción y una herramienta para restringir o ampliar los niveles culturales de la población, por ende los tres ejes que se describirán constituyen a nuestro entender condicionantes fundamentales en el análisis del futuro de la universidad

LA FORMACIÓN Y LA INVESTIGACIÓN DOCENTE. VINCULACIONES ENTRE LA UNIVERSIDAD Y LOS INSTITUTOS DE FORMACIÓN DOCENTE.

En el siguiente artículo relatamos una experiencia de formación y de investigación docente desarrollada en el marco de un Proyecto de Investigación Nacional en Red que involucra el trabajo entre docentes de Institutos Superiores y Universidades Nacionales. La experiencia que describimos, la I Jornada de Formación Docente y Educación Primaria, llevada a cabo durante el mes de setiembre del año 2011, resume las actividades desplegadas por el equipo investigador de una de las sedes del proyecto ubicada en la provincia de San Luis. En la misma participaron alumnos y docentes egresados de la carrer

Segmentación social-segmentación educativa: ¿se puede integrar segmentando?

Transitamos tiempos en que las instituciones educativas, no solo se ven interpeladas en su mandato fundacional, vinculado a la formación de la subjetividad ciudadana, sino que atraviesan serias dificultades para cumplir con sus propósitos educativos. La desigualdad en los resultados entre los sectores y grupos sociales más y menos favorecidos, deja al descubierto que esta situación afecta especialmente a estudiantes en situación de mayor desventaja o vulnerabilidad (Echeita Sarrionandia, G., Duk Homad, Cinthya, 2008). En el siguiente trabajo analizamos el surgimiento de nuevos formatos escolares en la provincia de San Luis. Damos cuenta de cómo se plasma en una política pública el énfasis puesto en la diversidad, interpretando que la diferenciación de dispositivos escolares permitiría la capacidad inclusiva de las poblaciones excluidas del sistema escolar, segmentando para ello la oferta educativa. Los nuevos formatos escolares y los planes de políticas focalizadas se inscriben dentro de una política neoliberal que se apega a la diversidad como recurso que tiende a enriquecer la formación de la población que asiste a dichas instituciones. A nuestro entender estas creaciones escolares basadas en la diferenciación de las ofertas del sistema educativo público de San Luis provoca mayor segmentación, mayor diferenciación educativa aumentando aún más las desigualdades sociales de los usuarios, toda vez que garantiza espacios de ingreso pero con ofertas académicas no equivalentes.Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educació

Adherence to treatment in allergic rhinitis using mobile technology. The MASK Study

Background: Mobile technology may help to better understand the adherence to treatment. MASK-rhinitis (Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK for allergic rhinitis) is a patient-centred ICT system. A mobile phone app (the Allergy Diary) central to MASK is available in 22 countries. Objectives: To assess the adherence to treatment in allergic rhinitis patients using the Allergy Diary App. Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was carried out on all users who filled in the Allergy Diary from 1 January 2016 to 1 August 2017. Secondary adherence was assessed by using the modified Medication Possession Ratio (MPR) and the Proportion of days covered (PDC) approach. Results: A total of 12143 users were registered. A total of 6949 users reported at least one VAS data recording. Among them, 1887 users reported >= 7 VAS data. About 1195 subjects were included in the analysis of adherence. One hundred and thirty-six (11.28%) users were adherent (MPR >= 70% and PDC = 70% and PDC = 1.50) and 176 (14.60%) were switchers. On the other hand, 832 (69.05%) users were non-adherent to medications (MPR Conclusion and clinical relevance: Adherence to treatment is low. The relative efficacy of continuous vs on-demand treatment for allergic rhinitis symptoms is still a matter of debate. This study shows an approach for measuring retrospective adherence based on a mobile app. This also represents a novel approach for analysing medication-taking behaviour in a real-world setting.Peer reviewe

Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) Phase 4 (2018) : Change management in allergic rhinitis and asthma multimorbidity using mobile technology

Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) has evolved from a guideline by using the best approach to integrated care pathways using mobile technology in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma multimorbidity. The proposed next phase of ARIA is change management, with the aim of providing an active and healthy life to patients with rhinitis and to those with asthma multimorbidity across the lifecycle irrespective of their sex or socioeconomic status to reduce health and social inequities incurred by the disease. ARIA has followed the 8-step model of Kotter to assess and implement the effect of rhinitis on asthma multimorbidity and to propose multimorbid guidelines. A second change management strategy is proposed by ARIA Phase 4 to increase self-medication and shared decision making in rhinitis and asthma multimorbidity. An innovation of ARIA has been the development and validation of information technology evidence-based tools (Mobile Airways Sentinel Network [MASK]) that can inform patient decisions on the basis of a self-care plan proposed by the health care professional.Peer reviewe

Simulating rewetting events in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams: A global analysis of leached nutrients and organic matter

Climate change and human pressures are changing the global distribution and the ex‐ tent of intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), which comprise half of the global river network area. IRES are characterized by periods of flow cessation, during which channel substrates accumulate and undergo physico‐chemical changes (precon‐ ditioning), and periods of flow resumption, when these substrates are rewetted and release pulses of dissolved nutrients and organic matter (OM). However, there are no estimates of the amounts and quality of leached substances, nor is there information on the underlying environmental constraints operating at the global scale. We experi‐ mentally simulated, under standard laboratory conditions, rewetting of leaves, river‐ bed sediments, and epilithic biofilms collected during the dry phase across 205 IRES from five major climate zones. We determined the amounts and qualitative character‐ istics of the leached nutrients and OM, and estimated their areal fluxes from riverbeds. In addition, we evaluated the variance in leachate characteristics in relation to selected environmental variables and substrate characteristics. We found that sediments, due to their large quantities within riverbeds, contribute most to the overall flux of dis‐ solved substances during rewetting events (56%–98%), and that flux rates distinctly differ among climate zones. Dissolved organic carbon, phenolics, and nitrate contrib‐ uted most to the areal fluxes. The largest amounts of leached substances were found in the continental climate zone, coinciding with the lowest potential bioavailability of the leached OM. The opposite pattern was found in the arid zone. Environmental vari‐ ables expected to be modified under climate change (i.e. potential evapotranspiration, aridity, dry period duration, land use) were correlated with the amount of leached sub‐ stances, with the strongest relationship found for sediments. These results show that the role of IRES should be accounted for in global biogeochemical cycles, especially because prevalence of IRES will increase due to increasing severity of drying event

Analysis of shared common genetic risk between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and epilepsy

Because hyper-excitability has been shown to be a shared pathophysiological mechanism, we used the latest and largest genome-wide studies in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (n = 36,052) and epilepsy (n = 38,349) to determine genetic overlap between these conditions. First, we showed no significant genetic correlation, also when binned on minor allele frequency. Second, we confirmed the absence of polygenic overlap using genomic risk score analysis. Finally, we did not identify pleiotropic variants in meta-analyses of the 2 diseases. Our findings indicate that amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and epilepsy do not share common genetic risk, showing that hyper-excitability in both disorders has distinct origins
