ABSTRACT

RESUMEN El presente trabajo muestra el desarrollo que ha tenido la formación de profesionales nucleares en Cuba durante más de treinta y ocho años. Se exponen las características principales de los programas de estudio de las carreras nucleares acreditadas por el sistema nacional de acreditación de la educación superior cubana. Algunos indicadores de la calidad de la formación en ingeniería nuclear, física nuclear y radioquímica, la presencia de la mujer, así como, la contribución de estas carreras al desarrollo de la provincia La Habana a partir de un análisis de la ubicación de sus egresados son presentados.


ABSTRACT This work shows the development that has taken the education of nuclear professionals in Cuba for more than thirty-eight years. The main features of the curriculum for undergraduate specialty for nuclear matters, accredited by the national accreditation system of higher education in Cuba are introduced. Some quality indicators, the women presence and the contribution of the nuclear careers to the development of Havana province beginning from the analysis of graduated distribution in the labor market are discussed.

ABSTRACT

En la actualidad, la investigación nuclear aplicada a la agricultura y alimentación es una realidad, y está siendo impulsada por organismos como la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Agricultura y Alimentación y el Organismo Internacional de Energía Atómica. En las investigaciones agrícolas, los isótopos estables y radioisótopos se utilizan en diferentes formas, entre las que figuran: determinaciones de las condiciones necesarias para optimizar la eficiencia de los fertilizantes y el agua; el desarrollo de variedades de cultivos agrícolas y hortícolas de alto rendimiento; la reducción de enfermedades contagiadas por los alimentos y estudios de erosión del suelo. Según el estudio realizado existe desconocimiento respecto a los fenómenos nucleares, mediante los cuales se aplican las técnicas nucleares en la agronomía. Por otra parte, existe un criterio positivo respecto a que se introduzcan estos temas en la docencia impartida a los ingenieros agrónomos, por lo que se propone implementar una asignatura optativa, en la que se expliquen las distintas esferas de actuación de las técnicas nucleares en la agricultura. De esta manera se puede lograr la vinculación de los ingenieros agrónomos con las técnicas nucleares, respetando a su vez, el modelo del profesional de este perfil. Asimismo, desarrollar prácticas de laboratorio en asignaturas propias del currículo que también hagan uso de estas técnicas y muestren la vinculación que puede existir entre estas y la agronomía.


Nowadays, nuclear research applied to agriculture and food is a reality, and is being supported by institutions like the International Atomic Energy Agency and the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization. Stable and radioactive isotopes are used in different ways in agricultural research mainly in the determination of required conditions to optimize efficiency in the use of fertilizers and water, the development of high yield agricultural and horticultural varieties , reduction of diseases due to contaminated food, and soil erosion studies among others. Accordingly to the study carried out, there is not much knowledge about nuclear phenomena applied to agronomy. Nevertheless there is a positive criterion about the introduction of these topics in Agronomical Engineers education, by meansof implementing an optional subject, aimed at explaining different actions though respecting the professional model, in the field of nuclear techniques in Agriculture. Moreover, it is also proposed to include in laboratory practices the curriculum of these subjects, by using nuclear techniques, showing their proper linkage with Agronomy.

ABSTRACT

En el trabajo se presenta la aplicación de diversas herramientas experimentales y teóricas para el estudio de nanomateriales, así como las investigaciones encaminadas al uso combinado de nanotecnologías y tecnologías nucleares, realizadas en el Instituto Superior de Tecnologías y Ciencias Aplicadas. Se destaca la amplia participación de estudiantes en estas investigaciones, lo que contribuye a la asimilación de los conceptos y métodos de las nanociencias por los graduados de las carreras nucleares.


This paper deals with the application of different experimental and theoretical tools to study nanomaterials as well as research aimed at combining the use of nano- and nuclear technologies carried out at the Higher Institute of Technologies and Applied Sciences. The wide participation of students in the research is highlighted, thus contributing to the assimilation of concepts and methods of nanosciences by the graduates of nuclear careers.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: This study describes the experience of using multiple types of visual educational tools in the setting of problem-based learning (PBL). The author intends to demonstrate their roles in diverse and efficient ways of clinical reasoning and problem solving. METHODS: Visual educational tools were introduced in a lecture that included their various types, possible benefits, and some examples. Each group made one mechanistic case diagram per week, and each student designed one diagnostic schema or therapeutic algorithm per week, based on their learning issues. The students were also told to provide commentary, which was intended to give insights into their truthfulness. Subsequently, the author administered a questionnaire about the usefulness and weakness of visual educational tools and the difficulties with performing the work. Also, the qualities of the products were assessed by the author. RESULTS: There were many complaints about the adequacy of the introduction of visual educational tools, also revealed by the many initial inappropriate types of products. However, the exercise presentation in the first week improved the level of understanding regarding their purposes and the method of design. In general, students agreed on the benefits of their help in providing a deep understanding of the cases and the possibility of solving clinical problems efficiently. The commentary was helpful in evaluating the truthfulness of their efforts. Students gave suggestions for increasing the percentage of their scores, considering the efforts. CONCLUSION: Using multiple types of visual educational tools during PBL can be useful in understanding the diverse routes of clinical reasoning and clinical features.
