Métodos: se realizó un estudio descriptivo longitudinal que expone, a partir del registro de los resultados de promoción de las asignaturas que conforman la disciplina, el cálculo de la promoción total al concluir el calendario académico de cada curso y el resumen de los errores por preguntas de los exámenes teóricos ordinarios. Resultados: la asignatura Informática Médica I exhibe un similar comportamiento en las calificaciones de los años en estudio. En la asignatura Informática Médica II se muestra una analogía en el porciento de promoción de las calificaciones extremas en los dos últimos años. Conclusiones: la asignatura Informática Médica II (Estadística) mantiene indicadores de promoción discretamente inferiores a Informática Médica I, siendo los contenidos de Álgebra de Eventos los de mayor dificultad para los estudiantes.

Se realizó un estudio que tuvo como objetivos caracterizar las condiciones ambientales de los hogares de los educandos de primaria del Consejo Popular "Cayo Hueso", del Municipio de Centro Habana, en el curso escolar 2006-2007, e identificar la relación entre las condiciones ambientales existentes y los resultados académicos obtenidos en ese período. El estudio fue complejo, combinado, de tipo transversal, descriptivo y analítico (caso y control). Se estudiaron los educandos de primer a sexto grados de las seis instituciones educacionales de la enseñanza primaria del Consejo Popular "Cayo Hueso", del municipio de Centro Habana, durante el curso escolar antes mencionado. Para cumplir los objetivos propuestos, a todas las madres se les aplicó un cuestionario con preguntas que exploraron la historia educacional de los hijos, sus hábitos y comportamientos. Los resultados se expresaron en porcentajes por instituciones educacionales. Se identificaron condiciones de vida inadecuadas en las viviendas de los educandos que pueden actuar como factores de riesgo a su salud o al aprendizaje. La ingestión de alcohol y el hábito de fumar dentro de las viviendas, así como el riesgo social en su entorno, fueron los hábitos inadecuados que más se relacionaron con los problemas de aprendizaje.

ABSTRACT
Este trabalho teve como objetivo identificar as práticas sociais que sustentam resultados acadêmicos superiores em dois programas de doutorado em administração: USP e UFRGS. Utiliza como indicador de resultados acadêmicos a avaliação trienal da Capes (2004-2007). Emprega uma abordagem epistemológica interpretativa e social construtivista e tem como orientação teórica a corrente conhecida como estratégia como prática social. O referencial teórico é constituído de dois tópicos que discutem: a estratégia como prática social; pós-graduação stricto sensu e doutorado em administração no Brasil. A pesquisa empírica foi de natureza qualitativa e se constitui em uma análise comparativa de casos. Entre os principais resultados da pesquisa, evidencia-se que determinadas características e atividades da coordenação, dos doutorandos e dos professores são relevantes, como: comprometimento e dedicação, por parte dos doutorandos; valorização da pesquisa e estar em contato com o mundo real das organizações, por parte dos professores; coordenar o programa e proporcionar incentivos com base nas métricas da Capes, por parte da coordenação dos cursos.

Se identificaron los hábitos y comportamientos inadecuados mediante una encuesta a los educandos y el resultado académico se evaluó por las notas obtenidas en las asignaturas del año en curso, los cuales se clasificaron en 2 categorías, denominados con "malos resultados académicos" (una o más asignaturas con menos de 60 puntos) y "con buenos resultados académicos" (cuando no tuvieron asignaturas con menos de 60 puntos). Se encontró que los siguientes hábitos y comportamientos inadecuados predominaron en los educandos con malos resultados académicos: no jugar al aire libre, jugar videojuegos, no leer en el tiempo libre, no merendar en las mañanas, ir a discotecas, no ingerir vegetales, malas relaciones interpersonales con coetáneos, profesores, madres y padres, tener relaciones sexuales antes de los 14 años, cambios frecuentes de parejas sexuales, no uso del condón, violencia hacia otros, pensar que el suicidio resuelve los problemas.

ABSTRACT
It is a popular practice for Chinas academia to regard SCI(Science Citation Index)and its IF(Impact Factor)as fundamental indexes for research competency evaluatiop.This article however holds that SCI and IF are but quantitative measurements for evaluating periodicals,and whether it is scientific to evaluate research results with such indexes as they are remains to be jusfified.It also suggests that practitioners in research organizations fully comprehend the meaning of SCI and IF,and use them correctly,so as to guide researchers to contribute their works to proper publishers.
