Leveraging logical definitions and lexical features to detect missing IS-A relations in biomedical terminologies.

Biomedical terminologies play a vital role in managing biomedical data. Missing IS-A relations in a biomedical terminology could be detrimental to its downstream usages. In this paper, we investigate an approach combining logical definitions and lexical features to discover missing IS-A relations in two biomedical terminologies: SNOMED CT and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) thesaurus. The method is applied to unrelated concept-pairs within non-lattice subgraphs: graph fragments within a terminology likely to contain various inconsistencies. Our approach first compares whether the logical definition of a concept is more general than  that of the other concept. Then, we check whether the lexical features of the concept are contained in those of the other concept. If both constraints are satisfied, we suggest a potentially missing IS-A relation between the two concepts. The method identified 982 potential missing IS-A relations for SNOMED CT and 100 for NCI thesaurus. In order to assess the efficacy of our approach, a random sample of results belonging to the "Clinical Findings" and "Procedure" subhierarchies of SNOMED CT and results belonging to the "Drug, Food, Chemical or Biomedical Material" subhierarchy of the NCI thesaurus were evaluated by domain experts. The evaluation results revealed that 118 out of 150 suggestions are valid for SNOMED CT and 17 out of 20 are valid for NCI thesaurus.

More than a mask: Possible relationships between lifting of COVID-19 mask requirements and depression symptoms experienced by US adults with disabilities.

BACKGROUND: Lifting of masking restrictions at key periods during the COVID-19 pandemic may have disproportionately negatively impacted the mental health of individuals with disabilities. OBJECTIVE: This study examines the prevalence of depression-related symptoms in individuals with and without disabilities preceding and following the US rollback of COVID-19 masking mandates. METHODS: Pandemic-era data on reported symptoms of depression from the federal Household Pulse Survey from dates surrounding two major announcements on masking relaxations were analyzed. Possible interactions between disability status and type, age grouping, educational attainment, race/Hispanic ethnicity, and sex variables were considered. RESULTS: Following relaxation of major masking restrictions, people with disabilities experienced elevation in depression symptom presence while people without disabilities experienced lessening in these symptoms. Differences between people with and without disabilities were significant. CONCLUSIONS: Direct causation between masking mandate relaxations and changes in symptoms of depression cannot be drawn from the available data. However, when considered with greater vulnerabilities to COVID-19 experienced by many individuals with disabilities and dismissive rhetoric surrounding masking decisions, negative feelings arising from mandate changes may have led to elevations in symptoms of depression in people with disabilities in sharp contrast to people without disabilities who may have felt relief. Findings indicate future public health decision making, even in times of crisis, should be undertaken with as much caution as possible regarding and in partnership with populations already at risk.

Text mining applications to support health library practice: A case study on marijuana legalization Twitter analytics.

BACKGROUND: Twitter is rich in data for text and data analytics research, with the ability to capture trends. OBJECTIVES: This study examines Canadian tweets on marijuana legalization and terminology used. Presented as a case study, Twitter analytics will demonstrate the varied applications of how this kind of research method may be used to inform library practice. METHODS: Twitter API was used to extract a subset of tweets using seven relevant hashtags. Using open-source programming tools, the sampled tweets were analysed between September to November 2018, identifying themes, frequently used terms, sentiment, and co-occurring hashtags. RESULTS: More than 1,176,000 tweets were collected. The most popular hashtag co-occurrence, two hashtags appearing together, was #cannabis and #CdnPoli. There was a high variance in the sentiment analysis of all collected tweets but most scores had neutral sentiment. DISCUSSION: The case study presents text-mining applications relevant to help make informed decisions in library practice through service analysis, quality analysis, and collection analysis. CONCLUSIONS: Findings from sentiment analysis may determine usage patterns from users. There are several ways in which libraries may use text mining to make evidence-informed decisions such as examining all possible terminologies used by the public to help inform comprehensive evidence synthesis projects and build taxonomies for digital libraries and repositories.

Interculturalidad e infancia rural: trabajo y cuidado en La Araucanía, Chile / Interculturality and rural childhood: work and care in La Araucanía, Chile

(analítico) Desde una mirada intercultural, se exploraron los significados de infancia en la agricultura familiar campesina, así como sus implicaciones en términos de trabajo y provisión de cuidados a niños y niñas. A partir de la tensión entre los significados universales de infancia basados en un enfoque de derechos y el trabajo en el campo del cual participan las personas desde temprana edad, se realizó un estudio cualitativo con diseño de teoría fundamentada y aplicación de entrevistas a mujeres cuidadoras y profesionales de programas de desarrollo rural en Chile. Se evidenció que a medida que la infancia aumenta en actoría social, disminuyen las prácticas de trabajo y se profundizan las de cuidado. Los resultados alientan a pensar en la proyección de una ontología de la niñez rural.

(analytical) Using an intercultural perspective, this study explores the meanings of childhood in the rural peasant population, as well as the implications of these meanings on the allocation of tasks and providing care to boys and girls. Taking into account the tension between universal meanings of childhood that draw on rights-based perspectives and the traditional practice of children working in agriculture, we conducted a qualitative study using a grounded theory methodology. Interviews were conducted with women caregivers and staff who work in rural development programs in Chile. The study's results show that as childhood has had an increasing value with children becoming more and more recognized as social actors, traditional child work practices in agriculture have decreased and care practices have been strengthened. The author concludes that the results of the research have consequences when thinking about an ontology for rural children.

(analítico) A partir de uma perspectiva intercultural, exploramos os significados da infância entre famílias voltadas para agricultura familiar camponesa, bem como suas implicações em termos de trabalho e prestação de cuidados às meninos e meninas. Considerando a tensão existente entre os significados universais da infância a partir de uma abordagem de direitos e o trabalho no campo, no qual as pessoas se engajam desde muito cedo, realizamos um estudo qualitativo, com base na teoria fundamentada, onde realizamos entrevistas com mulheres cuidadoras e profissionais dos programas de desenvolvimento rural no Chile. Evidenciamos que à medida que a infância adquiriu um valor ao nível da atuação social, as práticas de trabalho diminuíram e as práticas de cuidado se aprofundaram. Conclui-se sobre as consequências dos resultados para pensar uma ontologia da infância rural.

Terminology focused on design and retention methods used for anterior resin-bonded fixed partial dentures in English literature: A scoping review.

Purpose: Novel terms describing several designs of resin-bonded fixed partial dentures (RBFPDs) continue to appear. Indeed, a variety of terms are used in the English scientific literature The use of a standard terminology is important for a fair and efficient understanding. This study aimed to investigate if the terminology used to describe designs and retention methods for anterior RBFPDs is standard. Methods: An electronic search in the English literature was conducted in PubMed/Medline to identify all publications reporting RBFPDs in the anterior region until August 2022. This search was completed by hand searching. Terms indicating different designs of RBFPDs were listed and then classified. Percentages of their use were calculated to determine the commonly used terms. Analysis of the use of these terms was performed based on the standards determined by the latest edition of the Glossary of Prosthodontic Terms (GPT). The impacts of the MeSH Thesaurus and GPT on the nomenclature used for RBFPDs was assessed. Results: A total of 125 articles were eligible for this review. In the retained articles, 86 terms were found. Among them, thirty-nine terms were classified into three groups. Only six terms were defined in the latest edition of GPT (GPT-9). Several classified terms that are commonly used were not identified in the GPT-9. Conversely to the GPT-9 which impact was insignificant, the MeSH Thesaurus had an important impact on the nomenclature used for RBFPDs. Conclusion: The terminology used to describe designs and retention methods for anterior RBFPDs was non-standard. The GPT-9, constituting an important reference, defined a limited number of terms related to RBFPDs and had no significant impact on the standardization of the terminology used for RBFPDs. Efforts should therefore be continued to standardize the terminology. A specialized mini-glossary grouping and defining all the terms found in this study will helpful in clarifying the terminology used for the anterior RBFPDs.

Criteria in the Diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome in Children: A Scoping Review.

Currently, there is no consensus on the criteria for identifying metabolic syndrome in children, as observed in the diversity of research developed. For this reason, a scoping review was developed in this work, in order to compare the criteria for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome (MetS) applied in children, described in observational, descriptive cross-sectional studies. The databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science and the search engine Google Scholar were used. The search terms "metabolic syndrome", "cardiometabolic syndrome", "child", "children" and "childhood" were considered, as well as the names of organizations or authors proposing identification criteria for MetS to establish search relationships using the Boolean connectors "AND" and "OR". Likewise, two reviewers carried out the evaluation and selection of articles, of which 26 articles were included in which children aged 6 to 12 participated. It was found that the most commonly used criteria for identifying MetS since 2015 are those of Cook et al, IDF, NCEP ATPIII, and De Ferranti et al, in that order. Specific criteria, such as those proposed by Cook et al, are being chosen to enhance the accuracy of identifying MetS in children. The most common risk factors in children with MetS are abdominal circumference and BMI, followed by triglycerides, HDL, blood pressure, and blood glucose. The prevalence of MetS in children varies according to the criteria used, being higher with De Ferranti et al.

Combining different points of view on plant descriptions: mapping agricultural plant roles and biological taxa.

This article describes our study on the alignment of two complementary knowledge graphs useful in agriculture: the thesaurus of cultivated plants in France named French Crop Usage (FCU) and the French national taxonomic repository TAXREF for fauna, flora, and fungi. FCU describes the usages of plants in agriculture: "tomatoes" are crops used for human food, and "grapevines" are crops used for human beverage. TAXREF describes biological taxa and associated scientific names: for example, a tomato species may be "Solanum lycopersicum" or a grapevine species may be "Vitis vinifera". Both knowledge graphs contain vernacular names of plants but those names are ambiguous. Thus, a group of agricultural experts produced some mappings from FCU crops to TAXREF taxa. Moreover, new RDF properties have been defined to declare those new types of mapping relations between plant descriptions. The metadata for the mappings and the mapping set are encoded with the Simple Standard for Sharing Ontological Mappings (SSSOM), a new model which, among other qualities, offers means to report on provenance of particular interest for this study. The produced mappings are available for download in Recherche Data Gouv, the federated national platform for research data in France.

Integrating a new knowledge organisation system for monoclonal antibodies for therapeutic use authorised in Europe into HeTOP terminology-ontology server.

Monoclonal antibodies (MAs) are increasingly used in the therapeutic arsenal. Clinical Data Warehouses (CDWs) offer unprecedented opportunities for research on real-word data. The objective of this work is to develop a knowledge organization system on MAs for therapeutic use (MATUs) applicable in Europe to query CDWs from a multi-terminology server (HeTOP). After expert consensus, three main health thesauri were selected: the MeSH thesaurus, the National Cancer Institute thesaurus (NCIt) and the SNOMED CT. These thesauri contain 1,723 MAs concepts, but only 99 (5.7 %) are identified as MATUs. The knowledge organisation system proposed in this article is a six-level hierarchical system according to their main therapeutic target. It includes 193 different concepts organised in a cross lingual terminology server, which will allow the inclusion of semantic extensions. Ninety nine (51.3 %) MATUs concepts and 94 (48.7 %) hierarchical concepts composed the knowledge organisation system. Two separates groups (an expert group and a validation group) carried out the selection, creation and validation processes. Queries identify, for unstructured data, 83 out of 99 (83.8 %) MATUs corresponding to 45,262 patients, 347,035 hospital stays and 427,544 health documents, and for structured data, 61 out of 99 (61.6 %) MATUs corresponding to 9,218 patients, 59,643 hospital stays and 104,737 hospital prescriptions. The volume of data in the CDW demonstrated the potential for using these data in clinical research, although not all MATUs are present in the CDW (16 missing for unstructured data and 38 for structured data). The knowledge organisation system proposed here improves the understanding of MATUs, the quality of queries and helps clinical researchers retrieve relevant medical information. The use of this model in CDW allows for the rapid identification of a large number of patients and health documents, either directly by a MATU of interest (e.g. Rituximab) but also by searching for parent concepts (e.g. Anti-CD20 Monoclonal Antibody).

Criminalización y juvenicidio de culturas juveniles asociadas a organizaciones delincuenciales: caso colombianos / Criminalization and youthcide of youth cultures associated with criminal organizations: the case of the Cholombianos / Criminalização e juvenicídio de culturas juvenis associadas a organizações criminosas: o caso Cholombianos

Resumen (analítico) El artículo propone caracterizar y comprender los procesos de inserción de jóvenes en las organizaciones delincuenciales, tomando el caso de una cultura juvenil del noreste mexicano: los cholombianos. Plantea un marco de referencia construido por la articulación de categorías como violencia posestructural, desciudadanización, construcción de pánicos morales, estigmatización territorial, criminalización y sujeción criminal, para debatir y ampliar la conceptualización sobre el juvenicidio en México. Para ello, se analizan casos documentados por antropólogos y periodistas de jóvenes de distintas clases sociales que participan o son vinculados con la delincuencia organizada. A partir de un análisis teórico conceptual, se realizan observaciones sobre cómo los grupos delincuenciales forjan fuentes de pertenencia, respeto e identidad, y cómo estos y los poderes públicos llevan a cabo acciones de desciudadanización que destruyen culturas juveniles como la de los cholombianos.

Abstract (analytical) This article aims to characterize and comprehend the processes of young people joining criminal organizations by using a case study of a youth culture in the northeastern region of Mexico, the Cholombianos. The authors propose a reference framework based on the articulation of categories such as post-structural violence, de-citizenization, fabrication of moral panic, territorial stigmatization, criminalization and criminal subjection to discuss and expand the conceptualization of youthcide in Mexico. To achieve this process, the authors analyze cases documented by anthropologists and journalists of young people from different social classes who participate in or are linked to organized crime. Using a conceptual theoretical analysis, the authors discuss how criminal groups fabricate senses of belonging, respect and identity and how they and public authorities carry out de-citizenization actions that destroy youth cultures like the Cholombianos.

Resumo (analítico) O artigo se propõe a caracterizar e compreender os processos de inserção de jovens em organizações criminosas, tomando o caso de uma cultura juvenil do nordeste mexicano, os cholombianos, propõe um quadro de referência construído pela articulação de categorias como violência pós-estrutural, descidadania, construção de pânicos morais, estigmatização territorial, criminalização e sujeição criminal, para debater e ampliar a conceituação do assassinato juvenil no México. Para isso, são analisados casos, documentados por antropólogos e jornalistas, de jovens de diferentes classes sociais que participam ou estão ligados ao crime organizado. A partir de uma análise teórica conceitual, são feitas observações sobre como grupos criminosos forjam fontes de pertencimento, respeito e identidade, como eles e o poder público realizam ações de descidadania que destroem culturas juvenis como a dos cholombianos.

Hábitos de vida saludable en estudiantes del sur de Chile / Healthy lifestyles in students from southern Chile / Hábitos de vida saudável em estudantes do sul do Chile

Resumen (analítico) Clasificar estudiantes según hábitos de vida saludable podría contribuir a optimizar programas de salud escolar, dado que existe escasa evidencia al respecto en Chile. Se determinaron grupos de estudiantes chilenos del sur, según hábitos de vida saludable. Se extrajeron datos de 1183 sujetos, desde una encuesta aplicada en 2017 en Lauta-ro. Se realizó un análisis de conglomerado jerárquico y se identificaron tres grupos. El primero presentó mayor actividad física y conducta alimentaria saludable (p < 0.05). El segundo presentó mayor tiempo de pantalla y conducta alimentaria menos saludable (p < 0.05). El tercero presentó menor tiempo de actividad física y menor conducta alimentaria (p < 0.05). Los estudiantes que practican más actividad física se alimentan mejor y quienes se mueven menos se alimentan menos. Estos hallazgos resultan útiles para el gobierno local.

Abstract (analytical) Classifying students according to healthy lifestyle could contribute to optimize school health programs, as there is little evidence in Chile regarding this topic. Groups of students from southern Chile were classified according to healthy lifestyle. Data of 1,183 subjects was extracted from a survey applied in 2017 in Lautaro. A hierarchical cluster analysis was carried out and three groups were identified. The first group presented greater physical activity and healthier eating behavior (p < 0.05). The second group presented more screen time and less healthy eating behavior (p < 0.05). The third group presented less time of physical activity and less healthy eating behavior (p<0.05). The students that practice more physical activity eat healthier and those who do less physical activity, eat less. These findings are useful for local government.

Essas descobertas são úteis para o governo local.

Measuring the social determinants of health: an integrative literature review / Medición de los determinantes sociales de la salud: revisión documental integrativa / Medindo os determinantes sociais da saúde: uma revisão integrativa da literature

AВSTRАСT Introduction: The Social Determinants of Health are those conditions that directly or indirectly influence the life course, the health of individuals and inequalities. Objective: to analyze the scientific evidence on instruments used to measure the Social Determinants of Health. Method: integrative documentary review of publications on this topic in 27 scientific articles, analyzed in ATLAS.ti software. Results: 2019 was the year with the highest number of studies related to Social Determinants of Health, English the predominant language; the United States is the most prolific country in publications; the most evaluated were the health system (70%), education (63%), economic income and housing (55%). Age, gender and ethnicity were assessed in 41%, socioeconomic stratum was not directly assessed. The measurement has been focused on the structural. Conclusion: according to scientific evidence, there is no homogeneity to include in instruments the fundamental Social Determinants of Health that explain inequalities and inequities and the design of generic instruments is an international need to evaluate the structural and intermediate determinants.

The crisis of subsidiarity in the National Service for Minors: Chile (1994-2021) / La crisis de la subsidiariedad en el Servicio Nacional de Menores: Chile (1994-2021) / A crise da subsidiariedade no Serviço Nacional de Menores: Chile (1994-2021)

Abstract In recent years, Chile has experienced an intense socio-legislative debate in which the State and society have taken responsibility for children who, for various reasons, cannot be cared for by their biological families. The crisis in the child protection system has become evident, highlighting the need for reform. This article proposes a critical analysis of the implementation of this policy based on a descriptive-interpretative study of the documents and evaluation reports produced by the National Service for Minors between 1994 and 2018. The study identifies structural deficiencies in the system that continued since this institution was founded. The authors identify that the cause of these deficiencies is the principle of subsidiarity of the State in this area.

Resumen En los últimos años en Chile se asiste a un intenso debate sociolegislativo respecto al modo en que el Estado y la sociedad se responsabilizan de la niñez que, por diferentes razones, no puede estar al cuidado de sus familias consanguíneas. El sistema de protección de la infancia ha hecho evidente su crisis provocando la instalación de una reforma al sistema. En este artículo se propone un análisis crítico a la implementación de esta política, a partir de un estudio descriptivo-interpretativo de los documentos e informes evaluativos realizados al Servicio Nacional de Menores entre 1994 y 2018. Se identifican deficiencias estructurales en el sistema que han permanecido a lo largo de toda la historia de la institución y cuya causa es el principio de subsidiariedad del Estado en la materia.

Resumo (analítico) Nos últimos anos, o Chile tem sido testemunha de um intenso debate sócio-legislativo sobre a forma em que o Estado e a sociedade assumem a responsabilidade pelas crianças que, por diversos motivos, não podem ser cuidadas por suas famílias. A crise do sistema de proteção à infância foi extremamente evidente, o que alavancou uma reforma no sistema. Este artigo propõe uma análise crítica da implementação desta política, baseada em um estudo descritivo-interpretativo dos documentos e relatórios de avaliação do Serviço Nacional de Menores entre 1994-2018. Ele identifica deficiências estruturais no sistema que permaneceram ao longo da história da instituição e cuja causa é o princípio de subsidiariedade do Estado na matéria.

A new semantic resource responding to the principles of Open Science: The meat thesaurus as an IT tool for dialogue between sector actors.

Nowadays, it is important to make the results of scientific research accessible in a simple and understandable way according to the Open Science policy. This movement uses tools to enhance findability and interoperability of data. This paper describes the transformation of the meat dictionary published by the French Meat Academy as a book into a machine actionable and freely accessible terminological resource based on the SKOS standard format. This thesaurus contains 1567 concepts describing the meat production chain. This work was carried out by experts in semantic web, meat biology and meat vocabulary. This thesaurus can be used to index articles, journals and datasets, thus facilitating consultation; it can also be used to facilitate interoperability of the indexed datasets and provide contextual definitions for building ontologies, i.e. formal descriptions of knowledge for reasoning on data. The thesaurus can be useful to enrich other vocabularies with new knowledge, such as French specificities in terms of meat cuts or definitions.

Logro educativo de las instituciones con estudiantes de minorias étnicas en Colombia / Educational achievement of institutions with ethnic minority students in Colombia / Realização educacional de instituições com estudantes de minorias étnicas na Colômbia

RESUMEN El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar las diferencias en el rendimiento académico de las instituciones educativas colombianas rurales que atendieron a estudiantes pertenecientes a minoras étnicas con respecto a las demás instituciones rurales. Mediante un modelo logístico ordinal, se estima la asociación entre las características de los colegios y del contexto con el desempeno bajo, medio, o alto en las pruebas estandarizadas Saber 11° de 2019. Se evidenció que siete de cada diez instituciones educativas con estudiantes de minor'as étnicas tuvieron un bajo desempeno. En contraste, cuatro de cada diez estudiantes tuvieron bajo desempeno en el resto de las instituciones educativas rurales. El bajo acceso a una adecuada infraestructura y a docentes calificados afectó significativamente el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes. Además, el menor logro educativo se asoció a la implementación de modelos educativos flexibles, ausencia de personal de apoyo administrativo y al reducido tarmano de las sedes educativas que atendieron a minorias étnicas. Por tanto, se recomienda priorizar mejoras en la infraestructura educativa, formación docente y en la gestión escolar, para disminuir las brechas en el logro educativo.

ABSTRACT This research aimed to analyze the differences in the academic performance of rural Colombian educational institutions that served students belonging to ethnic minorities concerning other rural institutions. Using an ordinal logistic model, the association between the characteristics of the schools and the context is estimated with low-, medium-, or high-performance in the 2019 Saber 11 standardized tests. Seven out of ten educational institutions with students of ethnic minorities had a low achievement. In contrast, four out of ten students had low performance in the rest of the rural educational institutions. Low access to adequate infrastructure and qualified teachers significantly affected students' academic performance. In addition, the lower educational achievement was associated with the implementation of flexible educational models, the absence of administrative support personnel, and the small size of the educational centers that served ethnic minorities. Therefore, it is recommended to prioritize improvements in educational infrastructure, teacher training, and school management to reduce educational achievement gaps.

RESUMO O objectivo desta investigação era analisar as diferenças no desempenho académico das instituições educativas rurais colombianas que servem estudantes de minorias étnicas em relação a outras instituições rurais. Utilizando um modelo ordinal logit, estimamos a associação entre as características da escola e do contexto com baixo, médio, ou alto desempenho nos testes padronizados de 20I9 Saber Descobriu que sete em cada dez escolas com alunos de minorias étnicas tiveram um mau desempenho. Em contraste, quatro em cada dez estudantes tiveram um desempenho deficiente nas restantes escolas rurais. O baixo acesso a infra-estruturas adequadas e a professores qualificados afectou significativamente o desempenho académico dos estudantes. Além disso, o menor aproveitamento escolar foi associado à implementação de modelos educativos flexíveis, à falta de pessoal de apoio administrativo e à pequena dimensão das escolas ao serviço das minorias étnicas. Por conseguinte, recomenda-se que se dê prioridade à melhoria das infraestruturas educativas, à formação de professores e à gestão escolar; a fim de reduzir as lacunas no desempenho escolar.

Weaving words for textile museums: the development of the linked SILKNOW thesaurus.

The cultural heritage domain in general and silk textiles, in particular, are characterized by large, rich and heterogeneous data sets. Silk heritage vocabulary comes from multiple sources that have been mixed up across time and space. This has led to the use of different terminology in specialized organizations in order to describe their artefacts. This makes data interoperability between independent catalogues very difficult. To address these issues, SILKNOW created a multilingual thesaurus related to silk textiles. It was carried out by experts in textile terminology and art historians and computationally implemented by experts in text mining, multi-/cross-linguality and semantic extraction from text. This paper presents the rationale behind the realization of this thesaurus.

Relación docente-estudiante y compromiso escolar: percepción de estudiantes secundarios con necesidades educativas especiales / Teacher-student relationship and student engagement: perceptions of secondary students with special educational needs / Relação professor-aluno e compromisso escolar: percepção de jovens com necessidades educacionais especiais

Resumen (analítico) Investigaciones previas sostienen que la relación docente-estudiante es un factor relevante para el compromiso escolar y rendimiento académico. Sin embargo, su impacto ha sido poco explorado en estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales. Este estudio examina la influencia de la relación docente-estudiante en el compromiso escolar según la percepción de estudiantes de primer año medio con necesidades educativas especiales de una Región de Chile. Se realizó un estudio cualitativo, de tipo fenomenológico y de alcance descriptivo-analítico. Se desarrollaron diez entrevistas en profundidad a estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales, las que se analizaron mediante el método de comparación constante de la teoría fundamentada. Los resultados revelan el rol clave de los/as docentes en el compromiso escolar a través de la satisfacción de las necesidades de vinculación y competencia de sus estudiantes, pero no de su autonomía.

Abstract (analytical) The results of existing research studies show that the teacher-student relationship is a relevant factor that affects academic engagement and school performance. However, there is limited evidence of its impact on students with special educational needs. This study examines the influence of the teacher-student relationship on school engagement based on the perceptions of students with special educational needs in their first year of high school education in Chile. The study used a qualitative, phenomenological, and descriptive-analytical design. A total of ten indepth interviews were conducted with students with special educational needs. The data was analysed using the methodological guidelines of grounded theory. The results highlight the key role of teachers in academic engagement by satisfying students' psychological needs in the areas of connection and competence, but not satisfying students' need for autonomy.

Resumo (analítico) Pesquisas anteriores afirmam que a relação professor-aluno é um fator relevante para o engajamento e desempenho acadêmico. No entanto, seu impacto tem sido pouco explorado em alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais. Este estudo examina a influência da relação professor-aluno no compromisso escolar segundo a percepção dos alunos com alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais do primeiro ano do ensino médio, da Chile. O desenho foi qualitativo, fenomenológico, descritivo-analítico em escopo. Foram realizadas 10 entrevistas em profundidade com alunos com necessidades educacionais especiais. Os dados foram analisados segundo as diretrizes metodológicas da teoria fundamentada nos dados. Os resultados apontam para o papel fundamental do professor no comprometimento escolar, por meio da satisfação das necessidades de vinculação e competência de seus alunos, mas não de sua autonomia.

Fatherhood among adolescents in conflict with the law: A family systemic approach / Paternidad en adolescente en conflicto con la ley: una perspectiva desde la terapia familiar sistémica / Paternidade em adolescentes em conflito com a lei: uma perspectiva da terapia familiar sistêmica

Resumen (analítico) The objective of this paper was to analyze the construction of father-hood in adolescents who are in conflict with the law through an exploratory and qualitative study. Life stories were developed using the in-depth interview technique. The sample consisted of four adolescents in conflict with the law. Through interpretative content analysis, we obtained seven categories, including: emotional context of family origin, family functioning, witnessing family violence and the expression of masculinity by transgressing the law and using drugs. Paternity allows these young fathers to reflect on their own experiences during childhood and develop a paternal role during their transition process out of detention. The main role they assume in their paternity is that of provider, but they also make space to satisfy the affective needs of their children.

Abstract (analytical) El objetivo fue analizar la construcción de la paternidad en adolescentes en conflicto con la ley. Se llevó a cabo un estudio exploratorio y cualitativo, se construyeron historias de vida a través de la técnica de entrevista a profundidad. La muestra se conformó por cuatro adolescentes en conflicto con la ley. Se hizo un análisis de contenido interpretativo y se obtuvieron siete categorías: contexto emocional de la familia de origen, el funcionamiento familiar, ser testigo de violencia familiar y la expresión de masculinidad al transgredir la ley y usar drogas. La paternidad permite reflexionar acerca de sus experiencias en la infancia, desarrollar un rol paternal en transición, en el que asumen como principal función el proveer, pero dando espacio a satisfacer las necesidades afectivas de sus hijos.

Resumo (analítico) O objetivo foi analisar a construção da paternidade em adolescentes em conflito com a lei. Realizou-se um estudo exploratório e qualitativo, as histórias de vida foram construídas por meio da técnica de entrevista em profundidade. A mostra foi composta por quatro adolescentes em conflito com a lei. Por meio da análise de conteúdo interpretativa, obtivemos sete categorias: contexto emocional de origem familiar, funcionamento familiar, testemunho de violência familiar, expressão da masculinidade pela transgressão da lei e uso de drogas. A paternidade permite que reflitam sobre suas vivências na infância, desenvolvam um papel paternal em transição, em que assumem a função principal de prover, mas dando espaço para a satisfação das necessidades afetivas de seus filhos.

A novel ATRX splice variant causing acquired HbH disease in myelodysplastic syndrome with excess blasts-1.

A 60-year-old male with myelodysplastic syndrome with excess blasts-1 had unexplained microcytic hypochromic anemia. The cause of his anemia was revealed on supravital staining, hemoglobin studies and next-generation sequencing to be a novel hemizygous potentially pathogenic missense/splice site variant NM_000489.5:c.6848A>C, (p.Lys2283Thr) in exon 31 of the ATRX gene.

El proceso de reintegración familiar: una revisión de sus etapas y factores de relevancia / The family reintegration process. A theoretical review

El proceso de reintegración familiar es aquel que se inicia posteriormente a la toma de la medida de excepción, la cual es aplicada ante una grave vulneración de derechos en la infancia y adolescencia. Este trabajo propone describir las fases del proceso reintegración familiar considerando la literatura disponible en los últimos 10 años acerca de la temática, a fin de identificar factores de relevancia que puedan contribuir o no al reintegro familiar. Se identifican factores en tres grandes etapas de la reintegración: la fase inicial, la fase de abordaje y la fase de reintegro y seguimiento. Asimismo, se advierte la dificultad en la participación de los niños, niñas y adolescentes (NNyA) en el proceso que los involucra. Se destaca la importancia del estudio de esta problemática a fin de poder dar respuestas a las necesidades de los NNyA contribuyendo al proceso de reintegración desde una perspectiva de derechos.

The family reintegration process begins after the exceptional measure is taken, which applies in the event of a severe violation of rights in childhood and adolescence. This work aims to conduct a thematic review of the aspects involved in that process and whether they positively impact it. We can identify factors during the three main stages of reintegration: the initial phase, treatment, and reintegration and follow-up phases. Likewise, the participation of children and adolescents in the process that involves them is difficult. This study is important to respond to the needs of children and adolescents and contribute to the reintegration process from a rights perspective.
