ABSTRACT

A number of predictive models and forecasting exercises have been developed by various organizations, such as research groups, academic institutions, hospitals, and consulting companies, with the main aim to support health systems in with COVID-19 strategic decision making, planning, and health policy formulation that help in the fight against COVID19. Predictive models are helpful for estimating the number of COVID-19 cases and deaths; the resources required, e.g., such as hospital patient beds and ICU beds; and the demand for supplies, such as personal protective equipment (PPE). Because predictive models for COVID-19 must rely on a rapidly changing situation and underlying data, they produce results that may change repeatedly as data areas data is updated and revised. Nevertheless, the predictive models are meaningful and can offer crucial insights to policymakers. It is important that we understand the strengths and weaknesses of predictive models in order to use them judiciously as support and reference tools for COVID-19 planning and action.


Los modelos predictivos son útiles para estimar el número de casos y de muertes por la COVID-19; los recursos necesarios, como las camas de hospital y de UCI; y la demanda de suministros, como la de equipos de protección personal (EPP). Dado que los modelos predictivos para la COVID-19 deben basarse en situaciones y datos subyacentes que cambian rápidamente, los resultados que producen pueden cambiar repetidamente a medida que se actualizan y revisan los datos. No obstante, los modelos predictivos tienen interés y pueden aportar perspectivas que son cruciales para los responsables de las políticas. Es importante que conozcamos los puntos fuertes y las limitaciones de los modelos predictivos para usarlos de forma juiciosa como elementos de apoyo y herramientas de referencia para la planificación y la actuación en torno a la COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Revisão sistemática de pesquisas de intervenção em idosos acerca do uso de tablet para identificar os ganhos e as dificuldades no uso e na adesão desse tipo de dispositivo móvel. Métodos: Levantamento de estudos publicados entre janeiro de 2010 até novembro de 2017 nas bases de dados Lilacs, AgeLine, PubMed, Web of Science, Periódicos CAPES utilizando os descritores: TIC e idosos, inclusão digital e idosos, aprendizado digital e idosos, dispositivos móveis e idosos, tablet e idosos, e os termos em inglês elderly and digital inclusion, digital learning and elderly, mobile devices and elderly e tablet and elderly. Resultados: Os idosos apresentam dificuldades no uso em relação ao tamanho da tela e contrastes, ultra sensibilidade ao toque da tela (touchscreen), embora, algumas funções se mostraram totalmente intuitivas (acesso por toque e movimentação por arrasto). O uso de tablets pode ter efeitos positivos na cognição e nas habilidades sociais. Baixo nível de escolaridade e falta de conhecimento tecnológico prévio no manuseio dos aplicativos foram os fatores que afetaram negativamente a adesão ao uso do dispositivo, por outro lado, as vantagens referentes à portabilidade, eficiência, "rapidez" foram os fatores positivos que contribuíram para adesão. Conclusão: Os estudos encontrados para esta revisão abordam questões importantes sobre o impacto do uso do tablet na cognição do idoso, apontam uma direção para desenvolver melhorias em relação ao design de interface do aparelho, baseada nas experiências dos usuários investigados, e apresentam resultados positivos em relação à adesão dos idosos no uso de tablets. (AU)


Objective: Systematic review of intervention research in elderly about the use of tablet to identify gains and difficulties in the use and adherence of this type of device. Methods: Survey of published studies between January 2010 and November of 2017 in Lilacs, AgeLine, PubMed, Web of Science, CAPES using the descriptors: elderly and digital inclusion, digital learning and elderly, mobile devices and elderly and tablet and elderly. Results: The elderly present difficulties in use in relation to screen size and contrasts, ultra sensitivity to the touchscreen, although some functions were totally intuitive (touch access and drag movement). The use of tablets can have positive effects on cognition (increase in processing speed, memory and reasoning) and in social skills. Low level of education and lack of prior technological knowledge in the handling of applications were the factors that negatively affected the adherence to the use of the device, on the other hand, the advantages related to portability, efficiency, "speed" were the positive factors that contributed to adhesion. Conclusions: The studies found for this review address important questions about the impact of tablet-pc use on elderly cognition, point a direction to develop improvements in interface design of the device, based on the experiences of the investigated users, and present positive results regarding the adherence of the elderly in the use of this type of mobile device.

ABSTRACT

La integración de las funciones sustantivas de las universidades deviene un reto actualmente y la gestión del conocimiento constituye la misión social, la razón de ser de los diferentes centros de altos estudios, por medio de la cual logran difundir sus saberes y experiencias, así como contribuir al desarrollo socioproductivo y cultural de la colectividad. En el presente artículo se proponen acciones necesarias para endogenizar las funciones sustantivas universitarias desde ese tipo de gestión, a partir de la aplicación de métodos empíricos que permitieron conocer los criterios de educandos y docentes en relación con el problema objeto de esta investigación y revelaron a través de los resultados obtenidos,la fragmentación de los procesos sustantivos universitarios que ha estado limitando la producción del conocimiento científico en las instituciones de educación superior


The integration of the substantive functions of the universities becomes a challenge at present and the knowledge management constitutes the social mission, the reason of the different high studies institutions, by means of which they are able to diffuse their knowledge and experiences, as well as to contribute to the social, productive and cultural development of the collectivity. In this work, necessary tasks for endogenize the university substantive functions from that type of management are proposed, with the use of empiric methods that allowed to know the students and teaching staff criteria related to the object of this investigation, and they revealed through the results obtained, the fragmentation of the university substantive processes which have been limiting the production of the scientific knowledge in the higher education institutions

ABSTRACT

Frente às mudanças na estrutura populacional, somada às alterações tecnológicas advindas do crescimento da utilização de redes sociais virtuais (RSV) no dia a dia das pessoas, faz-se necessário uma melhor compreensão sobre o uso destas redes por idosos. Para realizar tal análise, é de grande relevância que se aprofundem estudos sobre os fatores que motivam esse público ao uso das RSV. A academia começou a explorar as características dos usuários de RSV e os motivos de sua utilização. No entanto, a maioria dos estudos tem se limitado a estudar um grupo específico de usuários ­ os jovens ­ deixando, dessa forma, lacunas a respeito de outros grupos etários, como os idosos. Além disso, há um enfoque em tecnologia e inovação e não especificamente na utilização somente de RSV. Nesse contexto, surgiu o interesse em conduzir uma pesquisa com o objetivo de identificar as principais motivações que levam os idosos a adotarem o uso de RSV em seu cotidiano. Para isso, foi realizada uma pesquisa exploratória descritiva, de natureza qualitativa com uma amostra de 21 idosos que possuem perfil em RSV. Os resultados apontaram que uso das RSV proporciona aos idosos, experiências positivas, principalmente relacionadas como um recurso para entretenimento e contato com familiares e amigos. A facilidade de comunicação favorece para que os idosos possuam uma maior e melhor rede de relações, em especial, para que o contato com a família ocorra com mais facilidade e que a saudade entre os membros seja minimizada. (AU)


In view of the changes in the population structure, coupled with the technological changes resulting from the increase in the use of virtual social networks (RSV), people's daily lives require a better understanding of the use of these networks by the elderly. In order to carry out such an analysis, it is of great relevance that studies on the factors that motivate this public to the use of RSV are deepened. The academy began to explore the characteristic of RSV users and the reasons for their use. However, most studies have been limited to studying a specific group of users - the young - leaving, in this way, gaps regarding other age groups, such as the elderly. In addition, there is a focus on technology and innovation and not specifically on the use of RSV alone. In this context, the interest arose in conducting a research with the objective of identifying the main motivations that lead the elderly to adopt the use of RSV in their daily lives. For this, a descriptive, descriptive exploratory research was carried out, with a qualitative nature, with a sample of 21 elderly individuals with RSV profile. The results showed that the use of RSV provides the elderly, positive experiences, mainly related as a resource for entertainment and contact with family and friends. The ease of communication favors the elderly to have a greater and better network of relationships, in particular, so that the contact with the family occurs more easily and that the longing among the members is minimized.

ABSTRACT

Teniendo en cuenta que las computadoras se han vuelto sustantivamente parte integral de la vida de los adultos mayores, el estudio del uso de las mismas por esta población se está volviendo de forma incrementada un sustancial campo de estudio. El objetivo del estudio es una revisión bibliográfica para comprender mejor la relación de las nuevas tecnologías con la población de adultos mayores. Una de las consecuencias que se desprende es que para animar y facilitar el uso de las nuevas tecnologias es necesario comprender cuáles son las implicaciones de estas diferencias en el uso de las nuevas tecnologías y las tradiciones culturales. La metodología utilizada es de revisión bibliográfica en la que se ha dado énfasis tanto a la evolución de las perspectivas académicas sobre el tema, como los resultados obtenidos entre los años 1970 a 2016. Hay que señalar que todas las investigaciones consultadas insisten en el papel cada vez más protagónico de las nuevas tecnología de información en la vida de la tercera edad, y que lejos de suponer que los mismos tendrían un rechazo a las mismas, se percibe un uso operativo y eficaz de las nuevas tecnologías. (AU)


As computers become an increasingly integral part of the lives of older adults, the study of computer use by older adults is becoming an increasingly relevant field of study. The aim of the study is a bibliographic review to better understand the relationship of new technologies with the population of older adults. One of the consequences that appears is that in order to encourage and facilitate the use of new technologies by this important group, for both personal and professional benefit, it is necessary to understand the implication of this new technologies and cultural traditions. The methodology used is bibliographical review with emphasized both in the evolution of academic perspectives on the subject and the results obtained between the years 1970- 2016. It should be noted that all the researches consulted insist on the increasingly important role of the new technology is in the life of the elderly, and that far from assuming that ageing people would have a rejection to the same, is possible to perceptive an operative and surprising use of the new technologies.

ABSTRACT

O presente artigo trata de uma pesquisa bibliográfica que teve por objetivo mapear a produção acadêmica relacionada ao uso de tecnologias no cotidiano por idosos. Foi utilizado como método de investigação o Estado da Arte. Para a coleta de dados, foram selecionadas as bases de dados Scielo, Google Acadêmico e Periódicos Capes. Como critérios para seleção, foram consideradas as pesquisas que apresentassem no título as palavras "idoso" e "tecnologia" ou que tratasse do uso de um produto tecnológico específico pelo longevo, utilizando como descritores: "impacto do uso de tecnologias por idosos". No período compreendido pelo estudo apenas um autor fez parte de um volume maior de produções. Sobre a área de formação dos pesquisadores, destacou-se a Educação. As pesquisas qualitativas e as quanti-quali obtiveram maior frequência. Em termos de conteúdo, as publicações discorrem sobre o contato com computadores, próteses auditivas, eletrodomésticos, tecnologia educacional entre outras tecnologias. É importante levar em consideração que esta busca se baseou em apenas três bases de dados, podendo outros resultados serem obtidos caso haja uma ampliação da mesma e dos descritores. (AU)


It is a bibliographical research whose objective was to map the academic production related to the use of technologies in the daily life by the elderly. The State of Art was used as investigation method. For data collection, we selected Scielo, Google Scholar and Periodical Capes databases. As criteria for selection, we considered the studies that presented the words "elderly" and "technology" in the title or that dealt with the use of a specific technological product by the long-term, using as descriptors: "impact of the use of technologies by the elderly". In the period covered by the study, only one author was part of a larger volume of productions. Regarding the area of training of researchers, Education was highlighted. Qualitative research and quanti-quali were more frequent. In terms of content, the publications talk about the contact with computers, hearing aids, appliances, educational technology among other technologies. It is important to take into account that this search was based on only three databases, and other results can be obtained if there is an extension of the search and the descriptors. (AU)

ABSTRACT

Esta pesquisa analisa a importância do uso das novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação, nomeadamente o computador, a internet e o celular, nas relações sociais de pessoas mais velhas em Portugal. Como metodologia, foram utilizados grupos focais e entrevistas semiestruturadas com um total de 21 seniores com idades entre 61 e 93 anos que viviam na região de Lisboa. Verificou-se que o celular foi maioritariamente visto como indispensável para as relações sociais, enquanto o computador e a internet foram apontados como benéficos, ajudando a construir novas percepções de tempo e de espaço. Portanto, a apropriação dessas tecnologias pode influenciar positivamente as relações sociais de pessoas mais velhas. (AU)


This research analyses the importance of the adoption and use of new ICT, namely, the computer, the internet and the cell phone in the relationships of older adults in Portugal. The methodology used centred on focus groups and semi-structured interviews. We worked with four groups totalling of 21 seniors aged between 61 and 93 years old, who lived in the Lisbon area. We found that the cell phone was considered to be indispensable for their social life, whereas the computer and the internet were seen as beneficial to society. As a result, we can assert that the use and adoption of these technologies positively influenced their social relationship. (AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: a Tecnologia da Informação (TI) está revolucionando os relacionamentos interpessoais. Esse novo contexto tornou possível exercer à distância as profissões da área da saúde, um conceito denominado telessaúde. A essência dessa área é a oferta, à distância, de serviços e informação sobre saúde. Nesse contexto, a Ortodontia como especialidade não pode ficar alheia a esses avanços. OBJETIVO: esse artigo se propôs a investigar - através de revisão não sistemática da literatura - quais dentre as tecnologias disponíveis são passíveis de ser utilizadas no desenvolvimento de serviços de teleortodontia, como ferramentas de auxílio à prática clínica e à educação continuada. O uso de tecnologias já acessíveis no mercado pode viabilizar os serviços de teleortodontia no país. Apesar desse artigo ter analisado as condições técnicas e as tecnologias relacionadas ao objeto de estudo, concentra-se no campo das questões éticas/morais, legais e econômicas do processo.


INTRODUCTION: Information technology is revolutionizing interpersonal relations. This new context has made possible the pursuit of professions in the health area, a concept known as telehealth. The essence of this area is the provision of health information at distance. In this context, orthodontics as a specialty can not remain oblivious to advances. OBJECTIVE: This article, through a non-systematic literature review, set out to investigate which of the available technologies are likely to be used in the development of tele-orthodontics services as tools to aid clinical practice and continuing education. The use of technologies already available in the market can enable tele-orthodontics services. Even though this article has analyzed the technical conditions and technologies related to the study object, it tends to the ethical, moral, legal and economical aspects of this process.

ABSTRACT

El objetivo principal del Observatorio de Recursos Humanos en Salud-ONRHUS es apoyar el fortalecimiento de políticas de desarrollo de recursos humanos, en el marco de los procesos de cambio de los sistemas de salud en el que están inmersos los países de la Región. En el contexto nacional, el Observatorio de Recursos Humanos de Salud Peruano genera el conocimiento y la información necesaria (evidencias) para mejorar la calidad y efectividad de políticas y propuestas de intervención gerencial orientadas a un desarrollo equitativo, efectivo, eficiente y de calidad del personal de salud. En tal sentido, el ONRHUS con el auspicio de la Dirección General de Gestión del Desarrollo de los Recursos Humanos del MINSA y la Organización Panamericana de la salud ha organizado el curso "Herramientas para la Comunicación Virtual y Búsqueda de Información Científica" el cual permitirá que los participantes integren en su quehacer diario, diversos instrumentos de comunicación virtual sincrónica y asincrónica con los que potenciarán la interconectividad entre nodos regionales hasta integrar una red interinstitucional activa cuyo dinamismo, esperamos, consolide la cultura del conocimiento en los recursos humanos en salud. Asimismo mejorar las habilidades para búsqueda de información por internet contribuirá en mejorar las capacidades en la gestión del conocimiento. (AU)

ABSTRACT

El desarrollo de nuevos medicamentos es un problema complejo que carece de una solución única y automática desde un punto de vista computacional, debido a la carencia de programas que permitan manejar grandes volúmenes de información que están distribuidos a lo largo de todo el mundo entre múltiples bases de datos. Por ello se describe una metodología que permita realizar experimentos in silico para la identificación actual de nuevos medicamentos.


The development of new drugs is a problem that nowadays has no solution in terms of computational power due to the lack of software for handling the big volume of available information; besides, these data are stored in multiple formats and are distributed all around the world. To resolve that, a development of an in silico drug design methodology.
