Un Sistema de evaluación basado en competencias: ejemplo para la asignatura Tecnología de la Programación del título de Grado en Ingeniería Informática por la Universidad de Murcia

En este trabajo proponemos un Sistema de Evaluación basado en competencias el cual se describe usando como ejemplo la asignatura Tecnología de la Programación propuesta por el Título de Grado en Ingeniería Informática de la Universidad de Murcia. En el diseño del sistema de evaluación se identifican las competencias transversales y específicas que se adquieren con la asignatura, los indicadores de evaluación para cada competencia, los hitos de evaluación, las acciones de evaluación, y los agentes de evaluación. La aplicación del sistema de evaluación da como resultado una calificación numérica del alumno de acuerdo con la legislación vigente y su ficha de adquisición de competencias para la asignatura. El sistema está siendo implantado en el actual curso académico 2008/2009 por lo que aún no se dispone de valoración de resultados.Peer Reviewe

The teacher training Practicum in the voices of their mentors. Balance of the 2010 program in the UAM

The paper focuses on an analysis of the development of the 2010 practicum program, particularly aimed to assessing the changes in relation to the 2000 plan from the point of view of its professional mentors. The methodology used was qualitative, with interviews to six innovative professional mentors belonging to the network of a public university, 3 of them responsible in the analyzed subject in both plans. Among the results it was showed that the perception of the transformations in the practicum were hardly noticeable, and the practicum mentoring activity was built through strong interpersonal relationship of mentor and student, and linked to the type of teaching practice. This has implications for future redefinition of the practicum.</p

Hiperplasia Nodular Focal, Hallazgo Incidental en Colecistectomía Laparoscópica Electiva. Reporte de Caso

Focal Nodular Hyperplasia (FNH) is a benign tumor, the second most frequent of its type, usually asymptomatic. In this case report, we present the clinical scenario of a 29-year-old woman with chronic cholelithiasis, who, upon elective surgical treatment by laparoscopy, a liver-dependent tumor was found in segment V, whose histopathological result was focal nodular hyperplasia. The objective of this article is to carry out a brief bibliographic review of this rare pathology, as well as to share the approach and surgical resolution that was performed.La Hiperplasia Nodular Focal (HNF) es un tumor benigno, el segundo más frecuente de su tipo normalmente asintomático.

Healthcare workers hospitalized due to COVID-19 have no higher risk of death than general population. Data from the Spanish SEMI-COVID-19 Registry

Aim To determine whether healthcare workers (HCW) hospitalized in Spain due to COVID-19 have a worse prognosis than non-healthcare workers (NHCW). Methods Observational cohort study based on the SEMI-COVID-19 Registry, a nationwide registry that collects sociodemographic, clinical, laboratory, and treatment data on patients hospitalised with COVID-19 in Spain. Patients aged 20-65 years were selected. A multivariate logistic regression model was performed to identify factors associated with mortality. Results As of 22 May 2020, 4393 patients were included, of whom 419 (9.5%) were HCW. Median (interquartile range) age of HCW was 52 (15) years and 62.4% were women. Prevalence of comorbidities and severe radiological findings upon admission were less frequent in HCW. There were no difference in need of respiratory support and admission to intensive care unit, but occurrence of sepsis and in-hospital mortality was lower in HCW (1.7% vs. 3.9%; p = 0.024 and 0.7% vs. 4.8%; p<0.001 respectively). Age, male sex and comorbidity, were independently associated with higher in-hospital mortality and healthcare working with lower mortality (OR 0.211, 95%CI 0.067-0.667, p = 0.008). 30-days survival was higher in HCW (0.968 vs. 0.851 p<0.001). Conclusions Hospitalized COVID-19 HCW had fewer comorbidities and a better prognosis than NHCW. Our results suggest that professional exposure to COVID-19 in HCW does not carry more clinical severity nor mortality

National identity predicts public health support during a global pandemic

Changing collective behaviour and supporting non-pharmaceutical interventions is an important component in mitigating virus transmission during a pandemic. In a large international collaboration (Study 1, N = 49,968 across 67 countries), we investigated self-reported factors associated with public health behaviours (e.g., spatial distancing and stricter hygiene) and endorsed public policy interventions (e.g., closing bars and restaurants) during the early stage of the COVID-19 pandemic (April-May 2020). Respondents who reported identifying more strongly with their nation consistently reported greater engagement in public health behaviours and support for public health policies. Results were similar for representative and non-representative national samples. Study 2 (N = 42 countries) conceptually replicated the central finding using aggregate indices of national identity (obtained using the World Values Survey) and a measure of actual behaviour change during the pandemic (obtained from Google mobility reports). Higher levels of national identification prior to the pandemic predicted lower mobility during the early stage of the pandemic (r = −0.40). We discuss the potential implications of links between national identity, leadership, and public health for managing COVID-19 and future pandemics

Social and moral psychology of COVID-19 across 69 countries

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all domains of human life, including the economic and social fabric of societies. One of the central strategies for managing public health throughout the pandemic has been through persuasive messaging and collective behaviour change. To help scholars better understand the social and moral psychology behind public health behaviour, we present a dataset comprising of 51,404 individuals from 69 countries. This dataset was collected for the International Collaboration on Social & Moral Psychology of COVID-19 project (ICSMP COVID-19). This social science survey invited participants around the world to complete a series of moral and psychological measures and public health attitudes about COVID-19 during an early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic (between April and June 2020). The survey included seven broad categories of questions: COVID-19 beliefs and compliance behaviours; identity and social attitudes; ideology; health and well-being; moral beliefs and motivation; personality traits; and demographic variables. We report both raw and cleaned data, along with all survey materials, data visualisations, and psychometric evaluations of key variables
