ABSTRACT
El lenguaje es una función cognitiva, esta es muy importante ya que nos permite compartir y organizar nuestra vida cotidiana; al mismo tiempo es un pilar fundamental de las relaciones humanas. Sin embargo, no todos los menores desarrollan el lenguaje de manera adecuada. En Chile es posible observar una alta prevalencia del Trastorno Específico del Lenguaje (TEL), siendo necesaria la creación de Manuales para la estimulación de los niños en el hogar, donde Padres/Cuidadores actúan como agentes principales en esta tarea, complementando lo entregado en los establecimientos a los cuales asisten estos menores. El objetivo del presente estudio fue valorar la percepción de padres/ cuidadores sobre el Manual de Estimulación del Movimiento y Lenguaje, para niños con Trastorno específico del Lenguaje (TEL) entre 3 a 4 años de edad. El estudio fue abordado bajo un alcance descriptivo, donde participaron 109 padres. Dentro de los resultados fue posible observar que más del 50% de ellos consideró que el contenido, la forma de presentación y los ejercicios eran adecuados seleccionando la opción muy de acuerdo. De lo anterior, es posible concluir que la percepción que presentan los padres/cuidadores sobre el Manual de Estimulación del Movimiento y Lenguaje, es favorable para su difusión. Esto representa una oportunidad de utilizar este manual como una herramienta de entrenamiento para cuidadores de niños con diagnóstico de trastornos específicos del lenguaje y posteriormente evaluar la efectividad del mismo en el progreso de los menores.
Language is a cognitive function, which is important because it allows us to share and organize our daily lives; at the same time it is a fundamental pillar of human relationships. However, not all children develop language adequately. In Chile it is possible to observe a high prevalence of specific language disorder, being necessary the creation of manuals for the stimulation of children at home, where parents/caregivers act as main agents in this task, complementing what is delivered in the establishments attended by these minors. The objective of this study is to assess the perception of parents/caregivers about the Movement and Language Stimulation Manual for children with Specific Language Disorder (SLD) between 3 and 4 years of age. The study was approached under a descriptive scope, where 109 parents participated. Within the results, it was possible to observe that more than 50% of them considered that the content, the form of presentation and the exercises were adequate, selecting the option with strong agreement. From the above, it is possible to conclude that the perception presented by parents/caregivers about the Movement and Language Stimulation Manual is favorable for its dissemination. This represents an opportunity to use this manual as a training tool for caregivers of children diagnosed with specific language disorders and subsequently evaluate the effectiveness of the program in the children's progress.

High-throughput transcriptome sequencing, also known as RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), is a standard technology for measuring gene expression with unprecedented accuracy. Numerous bioconductor packages have been developed for the statistical analysis of RNA-Seq data. However, these tools focus on specific aspects of the data analysis pipeline, and are difficult to appropriately integrate with one another due to their disparate data structures and processing methods. They also lack visualization methods to confirm the integrity of the data and the process. In this paper, we propose an R-based RNA-Seq analysis pipeline called TRAPR, an integrated tool that facilitates the statistical analysis and visualization of RNA-Seq expression data. TRAPR provides various functions for data management, the filtering of low-quality data, normalization, transformation, statistical analysis, data visualization, and result visualization that allow researchers to build customized analysis pipelines.
