ABSTRACT

Resumo Os gabinetes de curiosidades constituem a origem do museu moderno. Na utopia da Wunderkammer existe a aspiração à convivência entre arte e ciência. Como docente do novo Curso de Philosofia Natural da Universidade de Coimbra (1772), Portugal contratou o naturalista italiano Domingos Vandelli, que transportou consigo uma coleção, com objetos do seu gabinete em Pádua, à qual anexou uma outra coleção, recolhida em Portugal (1764-1768), repositório ainda não tributário do paradigma naturalista de Lineu. É com fundamento na descrição dessas duas coleções que defendemos a relevante proposta - para a ciência e para a museologia - do Gabinete de Curiosidades do Museu da Ciência da Universidade de Coimbra, inaugurado em maio de 2022.


Abstract Cabinets of curiosities are the origin of modern museums. The utopia these Wunderkammer contain also includes aspirations for art and science to coexist. The Italian naturalist Domingos Vandelli was contracted as an instructor for the new course in natural philosophy at the University of Coimbra (1772), and brought objects from his own cabinet in Padua; he combined these with another collection mounted in Portugal (1764-1768), which did not yet conform to Linneus's naturalistic paradigm. Based on descriptions of these two collections, we defend the important initiative underway at the Cabinet of Curiosities at the University of Coimbra's Museum of Science, which was inaugurated in May 2022.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN Los vertiginosos cambios producidos en la sociedad obligan a las instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) a formar ciudadanos con competencias profesionales y personales capaces de enfrentar los permanentes desafíos. En ese contexto, la labor del docente-tutor contribuye significativamente a este propósito y debe fortalecerse. Para ello, se realiza un diagnóstico cuyo objetivo consistió en conocer el estado de implementación de las tutorías y su impacto en la formación de los estudiantes. Se parte del análisis bibliográfico sobre la concepción y la práctica de la tutoría universitaria para, mediante un estudio cuantitativo, determinar el criterio de los educandos como actores principales. La muestra probabilística estuvo conformada por 180 estudiantes, de una población de 1557, de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación, Humanas y Tecnologías de la Universidad Nacional de Chimborazo, a quienes se les aplicó una encuesta validada científicamente, que determinó 97 % de fiabilidad y 95 % de confianza, lo que significa un alto porcentaje de correspondencia entre las variables de estudio y las escalas de medición. Estos estudiantes reciben diversas asignaturas, entre ellas algunas relacionadas con la actividad física y el deporte. Los resultados obtenidos se sometieron al análisis inferencial de multivariantes que permitió comprobar la tendencia de los estudiantes con respecto a la actividad tutorial que oferta la institución de Educación Superior.

ABSTRACT The vertiginous changes produced in society force Higher Education Institutions (HEI) to train citizens with professional and personal skills capable of facing permanent challenges. In this context, the work of the teacher-tutor contributes significantly to this purpose and should be strengthened. For this, a diagnosis is made which objective was to know the state of implementation of the tutoring and its impact on the training of the students. It is started from the bibliographical analysis on the conception and practice of university tutoring to, through a quantitative study, determines the criteria of the students as main actors. The probabilistic sample consisted of 180 students, from a population of 1557, from the Faculty of Education, Human Sciences and Technology of the National University of Chimborazo, to whom a scientifically validated survey was applied, which determined 97% reliability and 95% confidence, which means a high percentage of correspondence between the study variables and the measurement scales. These students receive various subjects, including some related to physical activity and sports. The results obtained were submitted to the multivariate inferential analysis that allowed verifying the tendency of the students with respect to the tutorial activity offered by the Higher Education institution.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Antecedentes Las mujeres universitarias socioeconómicamente vulnerables son un grupo de riesgo para desarrollar problemas de salud mental durante la pandemia por COVID-19, encontrándose que la regulación emocional y factores de apoyo docente pueden moderar este efecto. Objetivo Evaluar un modelo de moderación moderada del apoyo docente sobre las estrategias de regulación emocional (ERE) en la relación entre estresores académicos y sintomatología depresiva en universitarias socioeconómicamente vulnerables. Método 371 mujeres entre 18 y 29 años que cursaban estudios superiores completaron una encuesta donde se evaluó la sintomatología depresiva a través del PHQ-9 y las ERE mediante el CERQ. Para evaluar los estresores académicos y percepción del apoyo docente, se diseñaron preguntas específicas. Resultados Se identificaron dos modelos de efectos indirectos que mostraron que un bajo apoyo docente moderó la moderación de niveles bajos y medios de la estrategia de regulación de planificación en la relación entre los estresores académicos "calidad de aprendizaje online" y "preocupación por el rendimiento académico" con la sintomatología depresiva. Conclusiones Se discute sobre el rol de estrategias de regulación emocional que apuntan a aspectos metacognitivos y apoyo docente como factores protectores para este grupo específico frente a los estresores académicos, principalmente ligados al rendimiento académico.


Abstract Background female university students from socioeconomically vulnerable groups is a high-risk group for the development of mental health problems in the covid-19 pandemic. Objective To evaluate the moderating role of teacher support on emotional regulation strategies (ERS) in the relationship between academic stressors (AS) and depressive symptoms in female university students from socioeconomically vulnerable groups. Method 371 women between 18 and 29 years old who were in higher education completed a survey where depressive symptoms were evaluated through the PHQ-9 and the ERD through CERQ. To assess academic stressors and perception of teacher support, specific questions were designed. Results Two indirect effect models were identified that showed that low teacher support moderated the moderation of low and medium levels of ERS planning in the relationship of "quality of online learning" and "concern for academic performance" with depressive symptoms. Conclusions The role of ERS that points to metacognitive aspects and teaching support as protective factors for this specific group against AS, mainly linked to academic performance is discussed at the end.

ABSTRACT

Lifestyle, psychological well-being, and body mass index of indigenous women. Introduction. Obesity is more common in women and has also been found to be present in indigenous populations. During university studies, obesity-related lifestyles are in the process of consolidation, and although this is known, research is limited to addressing physical activity and diet, ignoring other lifestyle components, such as life appreciation. Additionally, there is a need to corroborate whether psychological well-being contributes to excess weight in indigenous women. Objective. To determine whether there is an association between lifestyle, psychological well-being, and body mass index (BMI) in indigenous women. Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 110 female Zapotec university students in Juchitán, Oaxaca, Mexico. The Psychological Well-Being Scale, the Healthy Lifestyle Scale for University Students, and a questionnaire about personal data were used. Body weight and height were measured to calculate BMI. Results. There was a negative correlation between BMI, self-acceptance (r = -0.33; p < 0.01), and life appreciation (r = -0.22; p < 0.05). Positive correlations were found between lifestyle and psychological well-being dimensions, with the strongest correlations being observed between life appreciation and purpose in life (r = 0.55) and self-acceptance (r = 0.48). The multivariable models determined that life appreciation and self-acceptance are associated with BMI. Conclusion. Life appreciation and self-acceptance are predictors of BMI and are even more strongly associated than exercise and nutrition behaviors(AU)


La obesidad es más frecuente en mujeres, aún en poblaciones indígenas. Durante los estudios universitarios, los estilos de vida relacionados con la obesidad se encuentran en proceso de consolidación, y aunque esto es conocido, las investigaciones se limitan a abordar la actividad física y la dieta, ignorando otros componentes del estilo de vida, como la apreciación por la vida. Adicionalmente, es necesario corroborar si el bienestar psicológico contribuye al exceso de peso en mujeres indígenas. Objetivo. Determinar si existe asociación entre los estilos de vida, el bienestar psicológico y el Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) en mujeres indígenas. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio transversal en 110 mujeres zapotecas estudiantes universitarias en Juchitán, Oaxaca, México. Se utilizó la escala de bienestar psicológico, la escala de estilos de vida saludables para estudiantes universitarias y un cuestionario sobre datos personales. Se midió el peso corporal y la estatura para calcular el IMC. Resultados. Hubo correlación negativa entre el IMC, la autoaceptación (r=-0,33; p<0,01) y la apreciación por la vida (r=-0,22; p<0,05). Se encontraron correlaciones entre las dimensiones de estilos de vida y las dimensiones de bienestar psicológico: las correlaciones más fuertes se observaron entre apreciación por la vida y propósito en la vida (r 0 0.55) y autoaceptación (r = 0.48). La apreciación por la vida y la autoaceptación son factores predictores del IMC. Conclusión. La apreciación por la vida y la autoaceptación son predictores del IMC, incluso más fuertemente asociados que el ejercicio físico y la alimentación(AU)

ABSTRACT

O presente estudo se propõe a discorrer sobre aspectos históricos e avaliar a realidade dos estudantes cotistas no curso de Enfermagem da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (UERJ), utilizando a Perspectiva dos Funcionamentos (PdF), de Maria Clara Dias, como critério de Justiça. Espera-se que este trabalho alcance os objetivos de identificar quais Funcionamentos se relacionam com a experiência universitária do aluno cotista, levando em conta seu ingresso e permanência na instituição; analisar os pontos de realização ­ ou não ­ desse conjunto de Funcionamentos identificados; além de verificar as reais possibilidadesde atingir essa meta de realização. A pesquisa qualitativa foi dividida em três seções que abordaram tópicos que nos farão compreender como o aluno se vê nesse contexto, como se desenvolve pessoal e profissionalmente e que tipo de transformação o ensino superior provoca em sua vida. As entrevistas foram realizadas com 13 (treze) alunos cotistas do curso de Enfermagem da UERJ, selecionados através do método Bola de Neve. Os encontros aconteceram em ambiente virtual ­ em razão da pandemia da COVID - 19 ­ e seguiram um roteiro estabelecido previamente. As respostas foram avaliadas segundo a teoriade justiça e através do método de análise de conteúdo de Bardin (2016).


The present study is aimed to discuss historical aspects and evaluatethe reality ofquota students in the Nursing course at the Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ), using Maria Clara Dias' Functionings Approach (PdF), as a criterion of Justice. It is expected that this work will achieve the objectives of identifying which Functionings are related to the university experience of the quota student, taking into account his admission and permanence in the institution; analyze the achievement points - or not - of this set of identified Functionings; besides verifying the real possibilities of reaching this goal of achievement. Qualitative research was divided into three sections that addressed topics that will make us understand how the student sees himself in this context, how he develops personally and professionally and what kind of transformation higher education causes in his life. The interviews were conducted with approximately 13 (thirteen) quota students from the Nursing course at UERJ, selected through the Snowball method. The meetings took place in a virtual environment - due to the COVID -19 pandemic - and followeda previously established script. The answers were evaluated according to the theory of justice and through the method of content analysis by Bardin (2016).

ABSTRACT

Resumen Este artículo presenta los resultados de una evaluación heurística de usabilidad aplicada a 17 sitios web de bibliotecas de universidades públicas chilenas, a través del método SIRIUS, "Sistema de Evaluación de la Usabilidad Web Orientado al Usuario y Basado en la Determinación de Tareas Críticas". Para la recolección de datos se utilizó la pauta fija de SIRIUS que contiene 10 heurísticas subdivididas en un total de 83 sub-heurísticas evaluadas por cinco personas expertas con conocimiento en sitios web de bibliotecas y usabilidad. Los resultados indican que las bibliotecas universitarias mejor evaluadas presentan buenos mecanismos de rotulado, layout (diseño) y facilidad de interacción, mientras que, en su conjunto, los sitios web carecen de ayudas de navegación para las personas usuarias. Finalmente, se concluye que la evaluación heurística es un método válido, rápido, fácil y aplicable en sitios web de bibliotecas universitarias, siempre y cuando se definan adecuadamente las personas expertas y las heurísticas. Asimismo, SIRIUS resulta una herramienta adecuada al contar con una pauta fija que permite obtener evaluaciones con rapidez y facilitar la comparación de sus resultados.


Abstract This article presents the results of a heuristic usability evaluation applied to 17 websites of libraries of public chilean universities, using the SIRIUS method "System of Web Usability Evaluation, User Oriented and Based on the Determination of Critical Tasks" For data collection, SIRIUS fixed guideline was used, which contains 10 heuristics that are subdivided into a total of 83 sub-heuristics evaluated by 5 experts with knowledge about libraries and usability websites. The results indicate that the best evaluated university libraries have good labeling mechanisms, layout and ease of interaction, while, as a whole, the websites lack navigation aids for their users. Finally, it is concluded that heuristic evaluation is a valid, fast, easy and applicable method in university library websites, as long as experts and heuristics are properly defined. Likewise, SIRIUS is an adequate tool since it has a fixed guideline that allows evaluations to be obtained quickly and to facilitate the comparison of its results.

ABSTRACT

Resumen La transformación reciente de la Universidad latinoamericana ha sido definida por las necesidades y premisas del modelo neoliberal. En este artículo tratamos algunos de sus impactos sociales en Colombia por medio del análisis de las lógicas que tales transformaciones han implicado para las universidades privadas; en particular, la gestión académica, la contratación y evaluación docente, así como la producción de conocimiento. Puesto que se trata de un modelo universitario en función del mercado, las estrategias de control epistemológico en las instituciones privadas delimitan no solo las posibilidades de vincular la investigación a sectores sociales subalternos, sino también la promoción de conocimientos considerados improductivos. Como límites corporativos al conocimiento crítico del país, tales impactos no solo dan cuenta de los efectos del modelo neoliberal, sino que han sido una de las estrategias para su profundización.


Abstract The recent transformation of the Latin American university has been defined by the needs and premises of the neoliberal model. In this article, we discuss some of its social impacts in Colombia through the analysis of the logics that such transformations have implied for private universities; in particular, academic management, teacher recruitment, and teacher evaluation, as well as knowledge production. Since it is a market-driven university model, the strategies of epistemological control, in private institutions, limit not only the possibilities of linking research to subaltern social sectors, but also the promotion of knowledge considered unproductive. As corporate limits to critical knowledge in the country, such impacts not only account for the effects of the neoliberal model, but also have been one of the strategies for its deepening.

ABSTRACT

Nesta pesquisa, propomo-nos a repensar o lugar da mulher negra em ambientes acadêmicos, os quais, supostamente, constituem espaços de produção democrática de saberes e de profissionais compromissados com a realidade social e suas fissuras. Por meio do método da história oral temática, foram entrevistadas três professoras universitárias negras, na busca da compreensão dos significados assumidos e conferidos às transformações experenciadas ao longo de suas vidas escolares e acadêmicas. Desse modo, procuramos compreender as características e contradições do processo identitário dessas mulheres e perceber de que modo as marcas interseccionais de raça, gênero e classe perpassam suas existências e seus projetos políticos; orientadas, sobretudo, pela ética da emancipação.


In this research, we propose to rethink the place of black women in academic environments, which supposedly constitute spaces for democratic production of knowledge and professionals committed to social reality and its fissures. Through the method of thematic oral history, three black female university professors were interviewed, in an attempt to understand the meanings assumed and given to the transformations experienced throughout their school and academic lives. In this way, we seek to understand the characteristics and contradictions of the identity process of these women and to understand how the intersectional marks of race, gender and social status permeate their existences and their political projects; guided, above all, by the ethics of emancipation.

ABSTRACT

La alfabetización informacional contribuye, desde su surgimiento, al fortalecimiento de las competencias informacionales de los estudiantes y tributa a su proceso de aprendizaje para toda la vida. Las bibliotecas universitarias, como instituciones educativas, juegan un rol en esa actividad. La intención de este estudio fue examinar el escenario teórico-conceptual referente a las prácticas de la alfabetización informacional en el contexto universitario. Se ofrece una panorámica de su desarrollo y el rol de las bibliotecas en ese sentido, a partir del análisis de esas instituciones y cómo tributan a la alfabetización informacional. Se exponen algunas experiencias que tributan a la consolidación de esa práctica en el contexto universitario. Se consideran, además, los elementos que han condicionado el desarrollo de la alfabetización informacional en la educación superior; el diseño de acertados programas de alfabetización informacional, que tengan en cuenta las necesidades y las características específicas del sector al que van dirigidos, y otros aspectos externos que pueden contribuir a la calidad de este; todo desde el análisis de la información contenida en la bibliografía publicada y no publicada consultada sobre el tema. Lo referido es alcanzable si se logra inculcar la importancia de la información como recurso que mueve a la sociedad, y el respeto hacia esta que debe primar en todo momento, teniendo en cuenta elementos como el plagio, la propiedad intelectual, los derechos de autor y la cita a los autores(AU)


Ever since it was created, information literacy has aided in the strengthening of students' information competences, contributing to their learning process for a lifetime. University libraries, being as they are educational institutions, play an important role in that activity. The purpose of the study was to examine the theoretical-conceptual framework of information literacy practices in the university context. An overview is provided of their development and the role of libraries in that field, starting from the analysis of those institutions and their contribution to information literacy. Some experiences are presented which contribute to the consolidation of this practice in the university context. An analysis is also made of the elements which have conditioned the development of information literacy in higher education, the design of appropriate information literacy programs bearing in mind the specific characteristics and needs of the sector they are intended for, and other external aspects which may enrich its quality, based on the analysis of the information contained in published and non-published bibliography about the topic. The above is achievable with awareness of the importance of information as a resource that drives society, and the respect toward information, which should prevail at all times, taking into account aspects such as plagiarism, intellectual property, copyrights and authors' citations(AU)

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN: La enfermedad por coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) es una enfermedad infecciosa causada por el Coronavirus 2 del Síndrome Respiratorio Agudo Grave (SARS-CoV-2). La mayoría de los pacientes infectados con SARS-CoV-2 tiene una evolución asintomática o leve. Sin embargo, una parte de los infectados presentará un deterioro en su condición de salud, desarrollando una neumonía aguda grave, que puede producir la muerte. Las personas vinculadas a las clínicas odontológicas están en riesgo de infección por SARS-CoV-2, pues la saliva es un importante método de transmisión del virus. Por su naturaleza, la atención odontológica se realiza a corta distancia del paciente, con constante exposición a saliva, sangre y otros fluidos corporales, y es frecuente el manejo de instrumentos cortopunzantes. Por consiguiente, los elementos de protección personal cobran gran importancia y las reglamentaciones de la autoridad sanitaria en el contexto de la pandemia que actualmente se vive deben cumplirse a cabalidad, debido a obligaciones éticas y legales. En esta revisión narrativa se revisa y discute la reglamentación de la autoridad sanitaria que involucra las prestaciones odontológicas en el contexto del COVID-19, cómo se aplicará en las clínicas universitarias y cómo complementar la normativa con la evidencia científica disponible.


ABSTRACT: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by Coronavirus 2 of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). The majority of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 have an asymptomatic or mild evolution. However, a part of those infected will present a deterioration in their health condition, developing severe acute pneumonia, which can lead to death. People linked to dental clinics are at risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection, since saliva is an important method of transmission of the virus. Due to its nature, dental care is performed at a short distance from the patient, with constant exposure to saliva, blood and other body fluids, and the use of sharp instruments is frequent. Consequently, the elements of personal protection are very important and the regulations of the health authority in the context of the current pandemic must be fully complied with, due to ethical and legalobligations. This narrative review reviews and discusses the regulation of the health authority that involves dental services in the context of COVID-19, how it will be applied in university clinics and how to complement the regulations with the available scientific evidence.

ABSTRACT

RESUMEN La relevancia que tiene la medición de la fuerza de agarre (FA) se ha incrementado en los últimos años como marcador del estado nutricional, por su relación con la morbilidad y mortalidad y por su creciente aplicación clínica y epidemiológica. Estudios de FA en adultos jóvenes sanos, revelan que se asocia positivamente con variables antropométricas y de composición corporal, mismas que se vincularían con la promoción de la salud en esta población. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la correlación entre la FA con variables de antropometría, composición corporal medida por bioimpedancia eléctrica y con la realización de ejercicio, para evaluar su utilidad como indicador del estado nutricional en jóvenes universitarias. Los resultados mostraron que en las estudiantes universitarias la FA se correlacionó positiva y significativamente con variables antropométricas (talla), y de composición corporal (masa muscular). Los profesionales de la salud requieren promover entre este grupo de población la reducción de los factores de riesgo como la baja fuerza muscular a través de la promoción de un estilo de vida activo y en específico de la realización de ejercicio físico de fuerza.


ABSTRACT The relevance of measuring handgrip strength (HGS) has increased in recent years as a marker of nutritional status, due to its relationship with morbidity and mortality and its increasing clinical and epidemiological application. HGS studies in healthy young adults reveal that it is positively associated with anthropometric and body composition variables, the same indicators used for health promotion among young university students. The objective of this study was to determine the correlation between the HGS with anthropometry variables, body composition measured by electrical bioimpedance and with exercise performance, to evaluate its usefulness as an indicator of nutritional status in college students. The results showed that the HGS of female college students was positively and significantly correlated with anthropometric variables (height), and body composition (muscle mass). Among this population group, health professionals need to promote the reduction of risk factors such as low muscle strength through the promotion of an active lifestyle and, specifically, strength exercises.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCCIÓN: El cuidado anticonceptivo es importante una vez que se inicia la vida sexual, pero esto no ha sido medido en distintas realidades de Latinoamérica. OBJETIVO: Determinar los factores socio-educativos asociados al no uso de métodos anticonceptivos en universitarias de cuatro países de Latinoamérica. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio transversal analítico, se encuestó a estudiantes mujeres que ya habían iniciado su vida sexual, se le preguntó por el uso de condón (preservativo), método del ritmo, anticoncepción oral y anticoncepción oral de emergencia. Estas fueron descritas y asociadas a variables socio-educativas. RESULTADOS: El 7% (47) no usaba ninguno de los 4 métodos anticonceptivos; al realizar el análisis multivariado, no hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas según el país, el año de estudios o si eran católicas/cristianas (todos los valores p>0,05), en cambio, las de universidades particulares tuvieron un mayor porcentaje de ausencia de uso de los 4 métodos anticonceptivos (RPa: 2,52; IC95%: 1,24-5,14; valor p=0,010). Según el uso de alguno de los 4 métodos, el país donde se encuestó tuvo muchas diferencias entre el uso de uno u otro método; el año de la carrera no estuvo asociado al no uso de alguno de los cuatro métodos; las que fueron católicas o cristianas usaron menos la anticoncepción oral (p<0,001) y las que estudiaban en universidades particulares usaron más el método del ritmo (p<0,05). CONCLUSIONES: Un porcentaje importante no usó ninguno de los cuatro métodos anticonceptivos más comunes, estando esto asociado al tipo de universidad.


INTRODUCTION: The care of contraception is important once you start the sex lives, but this hasn't been measured in different realities of Latin-America. OBJECTIVE: To determine the socio-educational factors associated with non-use of contraceptive methods in universities in four Latin American countries. METHODOLOGY: Cross-sectional study. Surveyed women students, who have started their sexual lives. They were asked about the use of condoms, rhythm method, birth control pills and next day pill. These're described and associated to variables socio-educational. RESULTS: 7% (47) did not use any of the 4 contraceptive methods; when performing the multivariate analysis, there were no statistically significant differences by country, the year of study or if they were Catholic/Christian (all values p>0.05), on the other hand, those of particular universities had a higher percentage of non- take care of yourself with one of the 4 methods (RPa: 2,52; IC95%: 1,24-5,14; value p=0,010). According to the use of one of the 4 methods, the country where it was surveyed had many differences between the use of one or the other method; the year of the degree was not associated with the non-use of any of the four methods; those who were Catholic or Christian used less oral contraception (p <0.001) and those who studied at private universities used the rhythm method more (p <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: A significant percentage did not use any of the four most common contraceptive methods, this being associated with the type of university.

ABSTRACT

Los sistemas de información curricular se han convertido en instrumentos valiosos para obtener indicadores de medición del conocimiento resultantes de las diferentes actividades científicas, ya que permiten describir el comportamiento interdisciplinario del conocimiento y su influencia en el desarrollo de la ciencia en la institución o región donde se aplique esta herramienta. En la actualidad, deslumbran experiencias de integración regional e interinstitucional que marcan pautas a seguir para la elaboración de indicadores normalizados, así como el establecimiento de formas de gestionar la ciencia en instituciones universitarias desde una perspectiva integrada en sus procesos académicos, investigativos y extensionistas vinculados con la región que la rodea. La presente revisión profundiza en estas cuestiones con el objetivo de analizar las experiencias que existen en Iberoamérica en este tipo de plataforma y su utilización como herramienta en la gestión de la ciencia y la tecnología a nivel institucional y regional. Mediante el análisis documental se logró mostrar las características de estos sistemas favorables a la medición y a la gestión de la ciencia a nivel institucional y regional. Estas herramientas seguirán siendo verdaderos instrumentos integradores que valoran el comportamiento de la ciencia a nivel individual-institucional-regional y poseen la bondad de integrar los procesos universitarios tradicionales: academia-investigación-extensión(AU)


Curricular information systems have become valuable tools to obtain knowledge measurement indicators resulting from the different scientific activities, for they make it possible to describe interdisciplinary knowledge behavior and its influence upon the development of science in the institution or region where they are applied. The impressive regional and interinstitutional integration experiences in this field have laid the foundations for the development of standardized indicators, as well as the establishment of ways to manage science in university institutions from a perspective integrated into their academic, research and extension processes linked to the surrounding region. The present review explores these matters with the purpose of analyzing Ibero-American experiences with this type of platform and its use as a tool for the management of science and technology on an institutional and regional level. Document analysis was used to show the main features of these systems for the measurement and management of science on an institutional and regional level. These tools will continue to be truly integrating instruments to assess the behavior of science on an individual-institutional-regional level, with the added advantage of integrating traditional university processes: academic activity - research - extension(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência da dismenorreia e suas consequências em uma população universitária. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal, com 207 mulheres entre 18 e 46 anos de idade, universitárias. Os sujeitos da pesquisa responderam a um questionário desenvolvido para esse estudo. Resultados: A prevalência global de dismenorreia, entre as universitárias, foi de 84,1%; dessas, 58,6% classificaram a dor em intensidade leve a moderada e 41,4%, em intensa. O absenteísmo escolar e a dificuldade para se concentrar nos estudos durante o período menstrual foram significativamente influenciados pela dismenorreia intensa. Entre as estudantes, 60,9% deixaram de fazer atividades físicas ou de lazer e 41% tinham dificuldade para se concentrar e estudar devido à dismenorreia. Conclusão: A dismenorreia tem uma elevada prevalência na população universitária, contribuindo para um aumento do absenteísmo escolar e para um prejuízo social. A maioria utiliza a automedicação e poucas procuram atendimento médico eletivo com a finalidade de resolver esse problema.(AU)


Objective: Evaluate the prevalence of dysmenorrhea and its consequences in a university population. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study with 207 female university students between 18 and 46 years. Data collection was performed through a specific questionnaire developed for this study. Results: The overall prevalence of dysmenorrhea among university was 84.1%, of which 58.6% classified the pain intensity as mild to moderate and 41.4% as severe. School absenteeism and a difficulty to concentrate on studies during the menstrual period were significantly influenced by the presence of severe dysmenorrhea, with 60.9% of students interrupting some physical or leisure activity, and 41% reporting that they had difficulty concentrating and studying due to the dysmenorrhea. Conclusion: Dysmenorrhea has a high prevalence in the university population, contributing to a significant increase in school absenteeism and impairing social life. Most students use self-medication and few seek elective medical care to resolve this problem.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Comprobar que el proceso de ecualización para el atributo empatía se cumple entre dos sedes universitarias en los estudiantes de odontología de la Universidad San Sebastián (Chile). Material y Métodos. Se aplicó la Escala de Empatía Médica de Jefferson para medir la empatía y sus componentes en estudiantes de odontología de la Universidad San Sebastián en dos sedes (Santiago y Concepción, Chile). Las comparaciones se realizaron mediante un ANOVA Bifactorial (Modelo III), estimación del potencial de crecimiento posible y ecuaciones de regresión. Resultados. Se encontró que existen diferencias para el componente TPP entre las sedes y diferencias entre todos los componentes de la empatía cuando fueron comparados un mismo género entre sedes. Conclusión. La evidencia empírica muestra que el proceso de ecualización no se encuentra completado. Este estudio tiene importancia nacional y a nivel de América Latina por tres razones: a) muchas universidades en Chile y América Latina tienen sedes universitarias donde se imparten la misma carrera de pregrados, b) no existen evaluaciones de ecualización de la empatía en América Latina y c) se plantea una posible metodología para evaluar el cumplimiento de la ecualización.


Objective. Check that the equalization process for the empathy attribute is fulfilled between two university venues in the dentistry students of the San Sebastián University (Chile). Material and methods. The Jefferson Medical Empathy Scale was applied to measure empathy and its components in dental students of the San Sebastián University in two sites (Santiago and Concepción, Chile). The comparisons were made using a Bifactorial ANOVA (Model III), estimation of the possible growth potential and regression equations. Results. It was found that there are differences for the Taking Patient's Perspective component between the venues and differences between all the components of the empathy when the same genre was compared between venues. Conclusion. Empirical evidence shows that the equalization process is not complete. This study is of national and Latin American importance for three reasons: a) many universities in Chile and Latin America have university campuses where the same undergraduate courses are taught, b) there are no equalization evaluations of empathy in Latin America, and c) a possible methodology is proposed to evaluate the compliance of the equalization.

ABSTRACT

Resumen El objetivo de este estudio fue adaptar la escala del modelo de creencias de salud para la autoexploración de mama (AEM) en estudiantes universitarias y determinar su validez y confiabilidad. La escala de modelo de creencias de salud sobre la AEM de 39 ítems fue aplicada en 994 estudiantes de licenciatura. La confiabilidad se evaluó a través del Alfa de Cronbach, la validez de constructo mediante el Análisis Factorial Exploratorio. Se detectó una estructura de 6 factores con un valor de Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin de .839 y la prueba de esfericidad de Bartlett fue significativa [χ2(496)= 5379.608, p<.0001]. Los factores tuvieron valores de consistencia interna entre .67 a .87. Por lo que se concluye que la escala del modelo de creencias para la AEM en mujeres jóvenes mexicanas presenta la misma estructura factorial que la original siendo válida y confiable para propósitos de investigación.


Abstract The objective of this study was to adapt the health belief model scale for breast self-examination (BSE) in university students and determine its validity and reliability. The health beliefs model scale of 39 items was applied in 994 undergraduate students. Reliability was assessed through Cronbach's Alpha, construct validity through Exploratory Factor Analysis. A structure of six factors with a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value of .839 was detected and Bartlett's Sphericity Test was significant [χ2 (496) = 5379.608, p <.0001]. The factors had internal consistency values between .67 and .87. Therefore, it can be concluded that the belief model scale for BSE in young Mexican women presents the same factorial structure as the original, being valid and reliable for research purposes.

ABSTRACT

Resumen OBJETIVO: Estimar la prevalencia de abandono, cambio o falla de los anticonceptivos hormonales que derivan en embarazos no deseados en mujeres universitarias entre 17 y 30 años. MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional y transversal efectuado entre el 1 de agosto y el 30 de noviembre de 2018 en estudiantes de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud de la Universidad de Boyacá, usuarias actuales o pasadas de métodos de anticoncepción hormonal. Variables de estudio: datos sociodemográficos, causas de abandono del tratamiento, cambio de método de planificación y falla del anticonceptivo. RESULTADOS: Se recolectaron 615 encuestas, se eliminaron 4 por datos incompletos. El promedio de edad de las estudiantes fue de 20.5 años (DE ± 3.6). El 26.15% recibió asesoría por distintos sujetos y medios diferentes al personal de salud. De las sustancias con interacción con los anticonceptivos hormonales, 25% consumía alcohol. Las principales reacciones adversas fueron: cefalea, aumento de peso y sangrado uterino anormal. Principales motivos de abandono: efectos adversos. El 10.3% de las encuestadas experimentó falla del anticonceptivo. CONCLUSIONES: Si bien el estudio evidencia que la primera causa de abandono fue el cese de la actividad sexual, un alto porcentaje de usuarias tuvo reacciones adversas leves y, de acuerdo con la persona que les suministró la información, se advirtieron dificultades para el apego a los anticonceptivos hormonales.


Abstract OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was the prevalence of abandonment, change and therapeutic failure, which could trigger unwanted pregnancies in university women between 17 and 30 years of age, who have used hormonal contraceptives as a method of family planning.
