Processos de reflexividade dos psicólogos do esporte e coaches: um estudo fenomenológico / Reflexivity processes of sport psychologists and coaches: a phenomenological study / Procesos de reflexividad de psicólogos del deporte y coaches: un estudio fenomenológico

O objetivo desta pesquisa é identificar e compreender fenomenologicamente, por meio de relato de Psicólogos de Esporte (PE) e de Coaches, em sua vivência prática, como ocorrem os processos reflexivos em sua atuação, conforme apreendidos a partir de relatos de experiências. O método de investigação escolhido foi a fenomenologia, pois oferece os recursos necessários para tal mergulho junto à experiência reflexiva. A amostra intencional foi delineada por PE e Coaches (profissionais de Educação Física que recorrem ao Coaching) em atividade em esportes de alto rendimento, que tenham atuado ou estejam atuando em modalidades esportivas coletivas e/ou individuais. Realizaram-se nove entrevistas (cinco com PE, quatro com Coaches). O acesso ao objeto desse estudo se deu por meio de entrevistas em profundidade e semiestruturadas, orientadas pela escuta suspensiva. As questões disparadoras foram formuladas com base no Procedimento Estruturado de Reflexão adaptado. Para análise das entrevistas, realizou-se uma síntese de cada relato, seguindo-se de cruzamento intencional. Como resultados, percebeu-se que PE e Coaches trazem algumas similaridades no que se refere aos modos de refletir sobre sua prática. No entanto, as experiências que eles fazem desses processos reflexivos é que podem tomar rumos distintos. Os(as) PE amparam-se na regulamentação da profissão e resguardam-se em seus apontamentos, trazendo suas experiências e reflexões sobre os processos vividos. Os(as) Coaches trazem em suas explanações um trabalho coerente, organizado e compatível com o método do Coaching. Problematizar os processos reflexivos desses profissionais permite diferenciar qualitativa e eticamente suas atuações, possibilitando o fomento multiprofissional no esporte.(AU)

The aim of this study consists in phenomenologically identifying and understanding, by the report of Sport Psychologists (SP) and coaches, in their practical experience, how would be the reflexive processes that take place in their performance, as learned from reports of their experiences. The research method chosen was phenomenology, since it offers the necessary resources for such a dive along with the reflective experience. The intentional sample was outlined by SP and coaches (Physical Education professionals who use coaching) active in high performance sports, who have or are working in collective and/or individual sports. Nine interviews were conducted (five with SP, four with coaches). Access to the object of this study took place by in-depth and semi-structured interviews, guided by suspensive listening. The triggering questions were formulated based on the adapted Structured Reflection Procedure. For the analysis of the interviews, a synthesis of each report was carried out, followed by the intentional crossing. As results, it was noticed that SP and coaches bring some similarities regarding the ways of reflecting on their practice. However, their experiences of these reflective processes are that they can take different directions. The SP are based on the regulation of the profession and guard themselves in their notes, bringing their experiences and reflections on the processes experienced. Coaches bring in their explanations a coherent, organized, and compatible work with the coaching method. Problematizing the reflective processes of these professionals allows to differentiate their actuation qualitatively and ethically, making the multiprofessional phenomenon in sport possible.(AU)

Análisis de los textos escolares del estudiante de ciencias naturales en primer ciclo básico desde la perspectiva de la terminología anatómica internacional / Analysis of science and biology school textbooks in primary from the perspective of international anatomical terminology

A pesar de los esfuerzos por generar una terminología unificada, hoy en día aún se implementan términos morfológicos obsoletos en diferentes contextos, como por ejemplo, los textos escolares, que son herramientas ampliamente utilizadas por el sistema escolar chileno. Se analizó la terminología morfológica utilizada en textos del estudiante de enseñanza básica (1° básico a 6° básico) propuestos por el Ministerio de Educación de Chile. Este análisis se realizó comparando los términos hallados en los textos mencionados, con la terminología morfológica propuesta por la federación internacional de terminología anatómica. Además, se propone una traducción al español para aquellos términos que se encuentran erróneos en los textos analizados. Los resultados muestran que de un total de 254 términos el 35,8 % es incorrecto. De estos, los más mencionados por los textos son: sistema locomotor, sistema circulatorio, brazo, entre otros. Frente a esto, se concluye que es importante que los textos escolares utilizados en el sistema educativo sean revisados por expertos, para evitar obstáculos en el aprendizaje de la anatomía.

SUMMARY: Despite efforts to generate a unified terminology, obsolete morphological terms are still used in different contexts, such as school textbooks, which are tools widely used by the Chilean school system. The morphological terminology used in texts for elementary school students (grades 1 to 6) proposed by the Chilean Ministry of Education was analyzed. This analysis was carried out by comparing the terms found in the school texts with the morphological terminology proposed by the international federation of anatomical terminology. In addition, a translation into Spanish is proposed for those terms that are found to be erroneous in the texts analyzed. The results show that out of a total of 254 terms, 35.8 % are incorrect. Among the terms with errors, the most mentioned by the texts are: locomotor system, circulatory system, arm, among others. In view of this, we conclude that it is important that the textbooks used in the educational system be reviewed by experts to avoid obstacles in the learning of anatomy.

The heterogeneity of systemic lupus erythematosus: Looking for a molecular answer / La heterogeneidad del lupus eritematoso sistémico: buscando una respuesta molecular

ABSTRACT The heterogeneity of SLE is a major limitation when designing clinical trials and understand ing the mechanisms of the disease. The analyses conducted before the new technologies for the identification of the single cell transcriptome focused on the detection of molecular patterns such as interferon signature in total blood or through the analysis of major sepa rate cell populations, such as CD4+ T cells. The analyses of molecular patterns have mainly focused on the transcriptome and DNA methylation changes. The first studies on single cell transcriptomics have now been published for mononuclear blood cells and tissues or the knowledge derived from them, total kidney, tubules and skin keratinocytes. The latter have defined patterns of nonresponse to treatment. However, much work still needs to be done to be able to use these methods in clinical practice.

RESUMEN La heterogeneidad del lupus es una limitante al momento de diseñar estudios clínicos, así como también para nuestra facultad de comprender los mecanismos de la enfermedad. Los análisis previos a las nuevas tecnologías para la detección del transcriptoma de célula única trabajaron en la identificación de patrones moleculares, como la firma del interferón en sangre total, o a través del análisis de poblaciones celulares principales separadas, como son las células T CD4+. Los análisis de patrones moleculares se han enfocado primordialmente en el transcriptoma y en los cambios de metilación del ADN. Ya se han publicado los primeros estudios de transcriptoma de célula única para células sanguíneas mononucleares y para tejidos, riñón total, túbulos y queratinocitos de piel. Estos últimos han definido patrones de no-respuesta al tratamiento. Aún falta mucho para que los métodos o los conocimientos derivados de los mismos sean de utilidad en la práctica clínica.

Ultrasonido Doppler de arterias temporales en pacientes con arteritis de células gigantes: estado del arte y revisión sistemática de la literatura / Temporal artery Doppler ultrasound in patients with giant cell arteritis: State of the art and systematic review of the literature

RESUMEN La arteritis de células gigantes es una vasculitis que afecta de manera predominante a vasos de gran calibre y aparece en personas mayores de 50 arios. Su presentación clínica incluye cefalea, alteraciones auditivas o síntomas similares a polimialgia reumática. En su forma más grave puede causar pérdida de visión uni- o bilateral, secundaria a neuropatía óptica isquémica de tipo arterítico. En la actualidad, el estándar de referencia para su diagnóstico es la biopsia de arterias temporales, procedimiento que no es inocuo y que puede tener como complicaciones infección, lesión nerviosa o sangrado, entre otras. Entre las técnicas no invasivas de diagnóstico, el ultrasonido y el Doppler de arterias temporales han tomado un rol cada vez más importante en el diagnóstico de esta entidad, dado que son pruebas benignas, con nulos efectos adversos y, a través de estrategias como las clínicas fast-track apoyadas en este método diagnóstico, se ha logrado reducir las complicaciones isquémicas de la enfermedad.

ABSTRACT Giant cell arteritis is a vasculitis that predominantly affects large calibre vessels, and usually appears in people over 50 years-old. Its clinical presentation includes headache, hearing impairment, or polymyalgia rheumatica-like symptoms. In its most severe form, it can cause uni- or bilateral vision loss secondary to arteritic ischaemic optic neuropathy. Currently, the gold standard for its diagnosis is the temporal artery biopsy, a procedure that is not harmless and may have complications such as infection, nerve injury, bleeding, among others. Among non-invasive diagnostic methods, the ultrasound and temporal artery Doppler have gained a predominant role in the diagnosis of giant cell arteritis, as it is a benign test with no adverse effects. Through strategies such as «fast-track¼ clinics, supported by this diagnostic method, a reduction has been achieved in ischaemic complications of the disease.

Analysis of research status based on projects in pharmacokinetics of traditional Chinese medicine funded by National Natural Science Foundation of China / 中国中药杂志

The pharmacokinetics of traditional Chinese medicine is a subject that studies the dynamic changes of the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of complex components of traditional Chinese medicine, which is an important method for elucidating the pharmacodynamic material basis, action characteristics, and compatibility mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine. However, given on the fact that traditional Chinese medicine is a multi-dimensional and complex system with multiple components, multiple pathways, multiple targets, and an unclear pharmacodynamic material basis, the research on the pharmacokinetics of traditio-nal Chinese medicine has become a scientific and technological problem. Although the pharmacokinetics of traditional Chinese medicine has achieved remarkable development with the emergence of new theories, methods and technologies, there are still some problems in the application of the research direction of the pharmacokinetics of traditional Chinese medicine judging from the current application of the National Natural Science Foundation of China. Therefore, this article discussed the current research status on pharmacokinetics of traditional Chinese medicines by analyzing the projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China in the past 5 years from 2016 to 2020, mainly including the application and funding analysis, main research contents of the projects in pharmacokinetics of traditional Chinese medicines. And the research hotspots, difficulties and deficiencies were focused in order to provide certain reference for researchers engaged in pharmacokinetics of traditional Chinese medicine.

Análisis de los textos escolares de ciencias naturales y biología desde la perspectiva de la terminología anatómica internacional: sistema cardiovascular / Analysis of science and biology school textbooks from the perspective of the international anatomical terminology: cardiovascular system

RESUMEN: Los textos escolares en Chile siguen siendo un recurso educativo ampliamente utilizado por los profesores/as, por lo tanto, son herramientas pedagógicas que deben contar con una correcta terminología, garantizando una comunicación eficiente y precisa. En este sentido, la Terminología Anatómica Internacional aborda la organización de nombres de estructuras humanas, sin embargo, se ha observado que aún existen problemas en la correcta denominación de estructuras, generando problemas de comunicación entre profesionales y estudiantes de ciencias. En esta investigación se analizaron los términos histológicos, embriológicos y anatómicos del sistema cardiovascular humano presentes en los libros de texto escolares de 7º a 12vo grado de Ciencias Naturales y Biología, impartidos por el Ministerio de Educación de Chile. El análisis fue realizado comparando los términos utilizados en los textos con los términos oficiales del Programa Federativo Internacional de Terminologías Anatómicas y del Comité Federativo Internacional en Terminología Anatómica. Los resultados indican que el 25 % de términos analizados presentan errores y de ellos un 100 % corresponden a sinonimias. Se concluye que persisten errores en la adecuada denominación de las estructuras del cuerpo humano en los textos escolares. Al respecto, se sugiere una serie de líneas de trabajo que deberán reunir a los profesores/as y especialistas como anatomistas y biólogos para corregir los errores existentes.

SUMMARY: School textbooks in Chile remain an educational resource widely used by teachers, therefore, they are pedagogical tools that must have a correct terminology, ensuring efficient and accurate communication. In this sense, The International Anatomical Terminology addresses the organization of names of human structures. However, it has been observed that there are still problems in the correct naming of structures, creating communication problems between professionals and science students. In this research, the histological, embryological, and anatomical terms of the human cardiovascular system present in school textbooks from 7th to 12th grade of Sciences and Biology, taught by the Chilean Ministry of Education, were analyzed. The analysis was carried out by comparing the terms used in the texts with the official terms of the Federative International Programme for Anatomical Terminology and International Federative Committee for Anatomical Terminology. The results indicate that 25 % of the terms analyzed have errors and of these 100 % correspond to synonyms. It is concluded that errors persist in the proper naming of the structures of the human body in school textbooks. In this regard, a series of lines of work are suggested, that should bring together teachers and specialists such as anatomists and biologists to correct existing errors.

Carlos de la Torre y Huerta. Paradigma del quehacer científico cubano / Carlos de la Torre y Huerta. Paradigma of Cuban scientific activity

RESUMEN La dimensión científica educativa constituye uno de los aportes más sólidos de la obra de Carlos de la Torre y Huerta. Su extensa obra investigativa se nutre de las asignaturas que impartió en la Universidad de la Habana entre las que se desatacan Paleontología, Arqueología, Antropología, Zoología, Geología, Biología y Entomología. Estos estudios favorecieron el descubrimiento de la gran riqueza existente en el país, destacándose una trayectoria ejemplar cuyos cimientos se insertan en la malacología. El descubrimiento de las Polymitas lo llevan a describir una diversidad de subespecies que lo insertan en el escenario internacional aclamado como un referente de obligatoria consulta para los especialistas. La divulgación sistemática de su obra lo conducen a la formación de una escuela cubana de naturalistas en la que los discípulos marcaron impronta en el quehacer científico nacional al apropiarse de las herramientas que le permiten hacer ciencia utilizando medios de enseñanza, imágenes proyectadas, láminas, dibujos y ejemplares autóctonos del país (AU).

ABSTRACT The educational scientific dimension is one of the strongest contributions of the work of Carlos de la Torre and Huerta. His extensive research work draws on the subjects he taught at the University of Havana, including Paleontology, Archeology, Anthropology, Zoology, Geology, Biology and Entomology. These studies favored the discovery of the great wealth existing in the country, highlighting an exemplary trajectory whose foundations are inserted in malacology. The discovery of the Polymites leads him to describe a diversity of subspecies that insert him in the acclaimed international scenario as a mandatory reference for specialists. The systematic dissemination of his work lead him to the formation of a Cuban school of naturalists in which the disciples marked imprint on the national scientific work by appropriating the tools that allow him to do science using teaching means, projected images, prints, drawings and native copies of the country (AU).
