Prevención de infecciones de transmisión sexual a través del manejo del riesgo de las mujeres policías de la ciudad de Quito Estudio de conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas de formas de prevención de infecciones de transmisión sexual en mujeres policías de la ciudad de Quito

Las Infecciones de transmisión sexual (ITS) conocidas también como enfermedades venéreas, son aquellas que se adquieren mediante prácticas sexuales con personas infectadas. Tienen alta incidencia y su incremento es constante a nivel de todo el mundo, están relacionadas muchas veces a conductas de riesgo (relaciones sexuales inseguras, sin protección), o parejas múltiples. El problema generado en la esfera de la salud pública, radica que algunas de éstas enfermedades pueden hallarse en estadío de cronicidad asintomática, desconocidas o ignoradas incluso por el mismo paciente, que ante parejas sexuales casuales no prevenidas, facilita su contagio, haciendo casi imposible la erradicación. La mayoría de estas enfermedades (ITS) son tratadas y curadas con antibióticos u otros medicamentos, excepto aquellas producidas por virus, que nunca se curan de forma definitiva, sino que el agente causal perdura en estado latente, sin manifestarse, al interior del organismo al que ha infectado, pudiendo reaparecer de manera cíclica…

The New Futuro College Plan: Facilitating College Access

Built on a free, bilingual, high-touch, high-tech platform, New Futuro has created a robust community of Latino students and parents, non-profit organizations, education institutions, government agencies, and corporations to connect those that need help with those that provide it. One of the resources developed by New Futuro is a proprietary 10-Steps College Plan that provides structured information targeted to Latino students and families to help them prepare, apply and pay for college

Theoretical Studies of Several Small-Ring Precursors to (+)-JQ1

We present the results of DFT(B3LYP) calculations on several precursors to (+)-JQ1 using an accurate basis set, including a report of conformational analysis, thermochemistry, optimized geometries and electrostatic potentials, and calculated IR and Raman spectra. Species include (I)1H-1,4-diazepin-2(3H)-imine, (II) 9H-[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine, (III) 6H-thieno[3,2-f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3a][1,4]diazepine, and (IV) 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-6H-thieno[3,2f][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a][1,4]diazepine. Studies are also reported on monobrominated (II)-(IV) substituted at the chiral center of the seven member ring, including a comparison of the energetics of equatorial versus axial bromination of the parent precursor. Implications with regard to the larger structure of (+)-JQ1 are discussed

In our own words: A qualitative study of Bachelor and Master of Social Work interns at Vitas Hospice

The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences of Bachelor/Master of Social Work (BSW/MSW) interns who completed a full year internship at Vitas Hospice in San Bernardino. Using the post positivist paradigm, the researcher interviewed nine previous BSW/MSW interns to find out about their experiences as interns while at Vitas Hospice. The study was conducted by interviewing the nine interns and their responses were used to develop a theory of the interns\u27 experience. These experiences led to learning about what was helpful and what was not helpful for their development as social workers as a result of their field placement at Vitas

Concerns and perceptions of faculty using Web-based instructional technology.

This study examined faculty levels of implementation of Web-based instructional technology (WBIT) and computer self-efficacy beliefs (CSE) as factors associated to faculty perception of institutional mechanisms and its relative importance as conditions supporting the implementation of WBIT in higher education. Using a sample of 334 faculty teaching at selected universities in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, faculty perceptions of support mechanisms for the implementation of WBIT were examined. Results revealed that it is possible to develop faculty profiles that include psychological and behavioral variables and that adding such variables improve the prediction of faculty levels of technology implementation. Furthermore, findings from this study suggested there are perception differences regarding the conditions that support implementation at different stages. Factors such as levels of use of WBIT and faculty concerns about implementation provided an explanation of the perception differences. In the first phases of implementation (i.e., nonuse/preparation and self/task concerns) participation and the accessibility to resources, including incentives and rewards, were clearly more important. In later stages (i.e., focus on improvement and impact concerns) the administrative support in the form of leadership interventions--providing encouragement and serving as a role models--and the visible support by the upper level leaders became key factors. Further research is needed in the area of personalization in order for universities to develop not only a cost-effective but also an efficient way of offering professional development opportunities that consider specific users\u27 profiles. Findings from this study are promising in the sense that it sets the basis for a theory-grounded definition of faculty profiles. This study establishes the foundation to reconsider the need for customized administrative practices and a more diverse spectrum of interventions which, in a constantly evolving field, are necessary for large scale technology implementations to expand in higher education institutions

Outsourcing Primary Education In Liberia Leads To Mixed Results

The long-lasting effects of a 14-year civil war, compounded by school closures caused by the 2014 Ebola outbreak, have had a huge impact on Liberia’s education system. In early 2016, the Liberian Ministry of Education announced that it would contract the operation of some government primary schools out to private companies. Researchers working with Innovations for Poverty Action examined the effects of these new partnerships and looked at how the schools deliver (or fail to deliver) better outcomes.ESRC-DFI

Disfunción familiar como factor de riesgo para embarazo adolescente en el hospital distrital Jerusalén de la Esperanza en el período Enero- Febrero 2015

Determinar si la disfunción familiar es factor de riesgo para embarazo adolescente en el Hospital Distrital Jerusalén de la Esperanza.

Elaboración de un plan publicitario para los servicios deportivos en las diversas ramas que desarrolla el Instituto Nacional de los Deportes de El Salvador (INDES), en la ciudad de San Miguel año 2009

Esta investigación tiene por objetivo elaborar un Plan Publicitario que permita incrementar la cantidad de practicantes en las diversas ramas que desarrolla El Instituto Nacional de los Deportes de El Salvador (INDES) de la Ciudad de San Miguel. Esta investigación se considera de tipo exploratoria porque tiene como finalidad establecer las bases y dar los lineamientos generales que permitan que el estudio sea lo más completo posible. Este estudio será descriptivo, ya que permitirá obtener información sobre las características generales de INDES referente a los servicios que se desarrollan en la institución en sus diferentes ramas, así como los aspectos que se consideran importantes en el momento de requerir los beneficios que esta proporciona. A través del estudio realizado se logró constatar que la mayoría de la personas (64.39%), han recibido alguna vez o les interesa recibir los servicios de desarrollo deportivo, no obstante a esto las personas que manifestaron no haber recibido dichos servicios, se debe a que no tienen conocimiento alguno de los beneficios que aportan las diferentes disciplinas deportivas. Asimismo la limitación de tiempo, voluntad y otros se vuelven un obstáculo para que estos puedan utilizar los servicios de desarrollo deportivo. Más sin embargo todas las personas encuestadas, manifestaron su interés por recibir en un futuro los servicios de desarrollo deportivo, para que les puedan ayudar ha enfrentar problemas de salud (stress, problemas cardiovasculares, etc.), de distracción, de disciplina, y para aprovechar y explotar las fortalezas que poseen de manera que les permita fortalecer su desarrollo físico y menta
