ABSTRACT
Resumen Introducción. La publicación científica se debe incentivar desde el pregrado, sobre todo en carreras de ciencias de la salud. Objetivo. Determinar las características y los factores asociados a la publicación científica entre los miembros de la Asociación Científica de Estudiantes de Medicina de Colombia (ASCEMCOL). Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio transversal analítico que se basó en una encuesta presencial aplicada a los miembros de la ASCEMCOL. Se definió como publicación la realizada en una revista científica indexada; la información recolectada se cruzó con variables para obtener estadísticos de asociación. Resultados. Al realizar el análisis multivariado, se asoció a mayor participación en investigaciones científicas el encontrarse en un semestre académico superior (RPa: 1.25; IC95%: 1.01-1.56; p=0.043) y tener más cantidad de investigaciones extracurriculares (RPa: 1.26; IC95%: 1.15-1.38; p<0.001); así mismo, la menor frecuencia de publicación se asoció a la percepción de pobre apoyo por parte de la universidad (RPa: 0.28; IC95%: 0.22-0.34; p<0.001), ajustado por la cantidad de trabajos presentados a congresos y la universidad de procedencia. Conclusión. La frecuencia de publicación fue baja en esta población. Se encontraron factores de gran importancia, como estar en un mayor semestre y tener mayor número de investigaciones realizadas y publicaciones.
Abstract Introduction: The scientific publication should be encouraged from the undergraduates, especially in science health careers. Objective: To determine the features and factors associated with scientific publication among members of the Scientific Association of Medical Students of Colombia (ASCEMCOL). Materials and methods: An analytic cross-sectional study, which was based on a face survey applied to the members of the ASCEMCOL. A publication was defined as a publication made in an indexed scientific journal; and the information collected was crossed with variables to obtain a statistical association. Results: When performing multivariate analysis, it was associated with increased participation in scientific research the fact of being in a superior academic semester (RPA: 1.25; 95% CI: 1.01-1.56; p value: 0.043), more of extracurricular investigations (RPA: 1.26; 95% CI: 1.15-1.38; p value <0.001). Likewise, the lower frequency of publications associated with the perception of poor support from the university (RPA: 0.28; 95% CI: 0.22-0.34; p value <0.001), adjusted to the number of papers presented in congresses and the university of origin. Conclusion: The publication frequency was low in this population; we find important factors like being in a superior academic semester, such as having a greater number of investigations and publications.

Introduction: A healthful school environment is that which embraces the health and safety of learners and other members of the school community. Undergoing pre-school medical examination (PSME) is not only necessary to screen for previously undiagnosed health conditions and subsequent recognition of those with special care but it is also imperative to have base-line health information about the pupils. This study seeks to elucidate the practices and determinants of school health services (SHS) in Osun state. Methodology: In the cross-sectional descriptive study, a total of 229 heads of schools (102 primary and 127 secondary) in Osun state were interviewed using a selfadministered questionnaire. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 16. Level of significance was set at p-value of 0.05. Results: All the respondents were aware of SHS with 114(50.7%) having good knowledge. Although up to 209 (91.3%) are aware of PSME and 188 (83.6) agreed that it was necessary, only 46 (20.1%) have their pupils undergo PSME. Most schools (76.8%) provide toilet facilities mainly of the pit type. Overall knowledge of SHS was good in 114 (50.7%) of the respondents. Medical services are provided through First Aid box. 221(96.5%) and School clinic 43(19.5%) most (92.7%) of which are free. Overall practice of SHS was good in 42 (18.7%) of the respondents. Respondents from secondary and private schools had better knowledge and practice of SHS. Conclusion: The practice of SHS is below expectation. There is a need to improve knowledge of heads of schools concerning SHS emphasizing the importance of SHS.
ABSTRACT
Medical research during the Japanese Colonial Period became systematic and active after the Keijo Imperial University Medical School was established in 1926. Various kinds of research were conducted there including pharmacological, physiological, pathological and parasitological research. The Keijo Imperial University was give a mission to study about Korea. Urgent topics for medical research included control of infectious diseases, hygiene and environmental health that might have affected colonizing bodies of the Japanese as well as the colonized. The bodies of Koreans had been studied by Japanese even before the establishment of the University. The Keijo Imperial University research team, however, organized several field studies for physical anthropology and blood typing research at the national scale to get representative sampling of the people from its north to its south of the Korean peninsula. In the filed, they relied upon the local police and administrative power to gather reluctant women and men to measure them in a great detail. The physical anthropology and blood typing research by the Japanese researchers was related to their eagerness to place Korean people in the geography of the races in the world. Using racial index R.I.(= A%+AB%/B%+AB%), the Japanese researchers put Koreans as a race between the Mongolian and the Japanese. The preoccupation with constitution and race also pervasively affected the medical practice: race (Japanese, Korean, or Japanese living in Korea) must be written in every kind of medical chart as a default. After the breakout of Chinese-Japanese War in 1937, the Keijo Imperial University researchers extended its physical anthropology field study to Manchuria and China to get data on physics of the people in 1940. The Japanese government and research foundations financially well supported the Keijo Imperial University researchers and the field studies for physical anthropology in Korea, Manchuria and China. The physical anthropology research was actively conducted hand in hand with imperialistic expansion, and driven by zeal for measuring the body.

A lo largo del siglo XX una gran variedad de métodos de enseñanza y teorías lingüísticas han sido aplicadas y aún se siguen aplicando en diferentes partes del mundo en la enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras, pero la práctica ha demostrado que al menos en los países como Cuba, y particularmente en los centros de educación médica superior donde se enseña el inglés como lengua extranjera, muchos egresados de estos cursos son incapaces de comunicarse correctamente. Sin embargo, en nuestro medio existe poco conocimiento de las diferentes teorías de aprendizaje que han tenido su incidencia de una forma u otra en los diferentes métodos de enseñanza de idiomas. Es por ello que nuestro trabajo intenta lograr un acercamiento a estas teorías lingüísticas, sus características principales, sus técnicas y procedimientos para enseñar los diferentes componentes de la lengua y el desarrollo de las habilidades lingüísticas, y se aborda una experiencia al utilizar un enfoque integral de dichas teorías en los cursos para colaboradores de la salud.
Throughout the 20th century, a great variety of teaching methods and linguistic theories have been and are still being implemented in the teaching of foreign languages in different parts of the world, but practice has shown that in countries like Cuba and particularly in higher medical education centers where English is taught as a foreign language, many graduates from these courses are unable to communicate in a correct way. However, the different learning theories which in one way or another have had an incidence on the various language teaching methods are barely known in our context. That is the reason why our paper is intended to approach to these linguistic theories, their main characteristics, techniques and procedures for teaching different parts of a language and for developing linguistic skills; it also deals with some experience in the use of a comprehensive approach to such theories in the courses given to health-care providers in cooperation activities.
