A educação colombiana na globalização (1990-2000)

The present reflection article performs a characterization of educational discourse that arises with the phenomenon of globalization in Colombia. The historical period studied covers the years 1990 and 2000, a stage marked by the economic opening of the country and the implementation of reforms that refunded the educational system. The investigation was carried out by tracing documents (public politics, academic, and press articles) produced at the time. His analysis focuses on the establishment of the events that intervene in the appearance of this discourse and on the analysis of the concepts and theses that underlie the new education. The results show the way in which economic openness motivates modernization, increased competitiveness, the productive use of knowledge in Colombia, and the configuration of an education that contributes to economic growth, the decentralization of institutions, and the achievement of social equity. El presente artículo de reflexión realiza una caracterización del discurso educativo que surge con el fenómeno de la globalización en Colombia; el periodo histórico estudiado comprende los años 1990 y 2000, una etapa del país marcada por la apertura económica del país y la ejecución de reformas que refundaron el sistema educativo.

Procesos psicológicos vinculados al aprendizaje y su relación con el desarroll o personal - social en la infancia

La infancia es uno de los periodos más importantes del ser humano; ya que durante esta etapa se inician, desarrollan y se afianzan los procesos psicológicos que permiten una evolución y equilibrio decisivo en el aprendizaje del niño, lo cual de una u otra manera se verá reflejado en el área personal-social. El objetivo de la presente investigación consistió en describir los procesos psicológicos vinculados con el aprendizaje y su relación con el desarrollo personal-social en niños entre 4 – 6 años de edad de la ciudad de Barranquilla. Este es un estudio de tipo correlacional en el que se utilizaron como instrumentos el Cuestionario de Madurez Neuropsicológica Infantil Cumanin y el Inventario de Desarrollo Battelle. Los resultados obtenidos reflejan que es necesario enfatizar en el desarrollo de las competencias sociales del niño aprovechando estas capacidades para el fortalecimiento de nuevos roles frente al aprendizaje.

Type 2 Diabetes Variants Disrupt Function of SLC16A11 through Two Distinct Mechanisms

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects Latinos at twice the rate seen in populations of European descent. We recently identified a risk haplotype spanning SLC16A11 that explains ∼20% of the increased T2D prevalence in Mexico. Here, through genetic fine-mapping, we define a set of tightly linked variants likely to contain the causal allele(s). We show that variants on the T2D-associated haplotype have two distinct effects: (1) decreasing SLC16A11 expression in liver and (2) disrupting a key interaction with basigin, thereby reducing cell-surface localization. Both independent mechanisms reduce SLC16A11 function and suggest SLC16A11 is the causal gene at this locus. To gain insight into how SLC16A11 disruption impacts T2D risk, we demonstrate that SLC16A11 is a proton-coupled monocarboxylate transporter and that genetic perturbation of SLC16A11 induces changes in fatty acid and lipid metabolism that are associated with increased T2D risk. Our findings suggest that increasing SLC16A11 function could be therapeutically beneficial for T2D.

How Can We Improve Oncofertility Care for Patients? A Systematic Scoping Review of Current International Practice and Models of Care

© The Author(s) 2018. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology. BACKGROUND: Fertility preservation (FP) is an important quality of life issue for cancer survivors of reproductive age. Despite the existence of broad international guidelines, the delivery of oncofertility care, particularly amongst paediatric, adolescent and young adult patients, remains a challenge for healthcare professionals (HCPs). The quality of oncofertility care is variable and the uptake and utilization of FP remains low. Available guidelines fall short in providing adequate detail on how oncofertility models of care (MOC) allow for the real-world application of guidelines by HCPs. OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE: The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature on the components of oncofertility care as defined by patient and clinician representatives, and identify the barriers, facilitators and challenges, so as to improve the implementation of oncofertility services. SEARCH METHODS: A systematic scoping review was conducted on oncofertility MOC literature published in English between 2007 and 2016, relating to 10 domains of care identified through consumer research: communication, oncofertility decision aids, age-appropriate care, referral pathways, documentation, training, supportive care during treatment, reproductive care after cancer treatment, psychosocial support and ethical practice of oncofertility care. A wide range of electronic databases (CINAHL, Embase, PsycINFO, PubMed, AEIPT, Education Research Complete, ProQuest and VOCED) were searched in order to synthesize the evidence around delivery of oncofertility care. Related citations and reference lists were searched. The review was undertaken following registration (International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO) registration number CRD42017055837) and guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). OUTCOMES: A total of 846 potentially relevant studies were identified after the removal of duplicates. All titles and abstracts were screened by a single reviewer and the final 147 papers were screened by two reviewers. Ten papers on established MOC were identified amongst the included papers. Data were extracted from each paper and quality scores were then summarized in the oncofertility MOC summary matrix. The results identified a number of themes for improving MOC in each domain, which included: the importance of patients receiving communication that is of a higher quality and in different formats on their fertility risk and FP options; improving provision of oncofertility care in a timely manner; improving access to age-appropriate care; defining the role and scope of practice of all HCPs; and improving communication between different HCPs. Different forms of decision aids were found useful for assisting patients to understand FP options and weigh up choices. WIDER IMPLICATIONS: This analysis identifies core components for delivery of oncofertility MOC. The provision of oncofertility services requires planning to ensure services have safe and reliable referral pathways and that they are age-appropriate and include medical and psychological oncofertility care into the survivorship period. In order for this to happen, collaboration needs to occur between clinicians, allied HCPs and executives within paediatric and adult hospitals, as well as fertility clinics across both public and private services. Training of both cancer and non-cancer HCPs is needed to improve the knowledge of HCPs, the quality of care provided and the confidence of HCPs with these consultations

Enrichment of Sunflower Oil with gamma-Tocopherol. Study by H-1 NMR of Its Effect Under Accelerated Storage Conditions

The effect of the enrichment of sunflower oil with gamma-tocopherol on the evolution of its oxidation is the subject of this study. Sunflower oil and samples of this oil enriched with different gamma-tocopherol concentrations are submitted to accelerated storage conditions and their evolution, until total polymerization is monitored by H-1 NMR spectroscopy. The concentrations of linoleic acyl groups, of primary and of a great number of secondary oxidation compounds are determined throughout the process. These concentrations, and the times at which the main changes in them occur are analyzed to elucidate if they are valid markers of the global effect of gamma-tocopherol enrichment. It is proved for the first time that certain comparisons between concentrations of some of the compounds formed in oxidation can lead to erroneous conclusions about the effect of this enrichment. It is shown that, during a first short period of time under accelerated storage conditions, the higher the concentration of gamma-tocopherol the faster the degradation of linoleic acyl groups and the higher the concentration of hydroperoxides; after this first period this relationship is more complex. Generally, the higher the gamma-tocopherol concentration the slower the degradation of the oil, except in the first period.Practical Applications: This study provides very valuable information about the effect caused by enrichment with gamma-tocopherol on sunflower oil oxidative stability and oxidation across a very broad range of concentrations. In addition, the amount of information obtained can be of great importance from several points of view because the oxidation process has been monitored globally. This may be of interest not only to researchers involved in the analysis of oxidation mechanisms but also to those in the field of technology and edible oil legislation, and even to those worried about edible oil safety and its effect on nutrition and health. Another important feature of this study, from the practical point of view, is the methodology used because it does not involve the chemical modification of the sample and the same H-1 NMR spectrum is able to provide information about all the above-mentioned aspects.

Concentrations of primary and secondary oxidation compounds after 4 and 9 days, respectively, under accelerated storage conditions.This work has been supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO AGL 2015-65450-R), the Basque Government (EJ-GV, IT-916-16), and the Agriculture Department of the Basque Government (PA19/02)
