Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy іs a relatively common condition and one of the most common causes of sudden cardiac death in young age. One of the options for the surgical treatment of this pathology is septal myoectomy, which has been the gold standard for decades. However, despite this, surgical treatment is intended for young patients with a low risk of postoperative complications, while patients with concomitant diseases and a higher surgical risk require alternative treatment. Today, alcohol septal ablation is considered an effective, minimally invasive method for treating hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy in patients with a left ventricular outflow tract gradient ≥ 50 mm Hg. The article presents the experience of using alcohol septal ablation in 57 patients with obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract. Key words: alcoholic septal ablation, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Optimization of antiischemic therapy is necessary in many patients with stable forms of coronary heart disease after or during revascularization. From the standpoint of current guidelines, the addition of second-line drugs, in particular ranolazine, to beta-blockers and/or calcium antagonists is considered during anginal attacks due to incomplete revascularization, to prevent myocardial damage during percutaneous coronary interventions, and in cases when revascularization is not possible. The results of many clinical studies have proven the antiischemic effect and safety of ranolazine after coronary artery stenting. Potential advantages of ranolazine compared with other second-line antianginal drugs are the absence of significant changes in hemodynamic parameters, good tolerability and proven antiarrhythmic effects. Key words: chronic ischemic heart disease, percutaneous coronary intervention, ranolazine.

The aim – to analyze the frequency and nature of lesions of the valve apparatus, to evaluate the results of surgical correction of the affected valves in heart myxomas. Materials and methods. In one-centre study, during period from 01.01.1969 to 01.10.2020, 962 patients with morphologically verified primary heart tumors were observed. Myxomas of the heart were found in 856 (89.0 %) patients. The pathology of the valve apparatus in combination with cardiac myxomas was noted in 70 (8.1 %) patients. The volume and nature of valve damage differed and depended on size, consistency and localization of myxoma, the degree of its mobility, and the presence of areas of pronounced fibrosis and calcification on the tumor. Results. Surgical correction of lesions of valve structures was performed in 65 patients. In 5 patients, it was possible to remove tumor tissue from the valve apparatus, followed by prevention of disease recurrence without damaging valve and subvalvular structures. Surgical techniques included both plastic manipulation and valve replacement. The features of the long-term postoperative period in such patients include progressive valve dysfunction manifested by the progression of insufficiency due to further deformation of the valve apparatus. Conclusions. Alongside with myxoma removal, it is necessary to conduct a thorough examination of the valve apparatus and correction of valve damage by various methods, including plastic surgery and valve replacement, depending on the nature and severity of the damage. Key words: cardiac tumors, myxoma, valve structures, surgical treatment.

Thrombolytic therapy, which is a priority treatment strategy in patients with acute ischemic stroke in the first 3-4.5 hours after start of the disease, has significant limitations in case of background anticoagulant therapy. Mechanic thrombextraction is considered to be an alternative therapeutic strategy in case of inefficacy or contraindications to thrombolytic therapy. The article presents a clinical case of the 75-year old female patient with acute cardioembolic stroke on background of heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Long-term background usage of the direct oral anticoagulant due to atrial fibrillation is a limitation to use thrombolytic therapy, therefore mechanical thrombextraction was performed. The case presents possibilities of the successful interventional treatment of acute cardioembolic ischemic stroke. An example of a possible drug-drug interaction possibly leading to reduction of the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy is shown. Key words: ischemic stroke, anticoagulants, mechanical trombextraction.

Proyek konstruksi merupakan suatu kegiatan yang kompleks. Dalam pelaksanaannya, suatu proyek konstruksi memerlukan beberapa sumber daya yaitu seperti manusia, material, mesin, metode pelaksanaan, serta uang. Dimana kelima hal tersebut harus dipersiapkan dengan matang pada saat proses perencanaan sehingga saat dilaksanakan, proyek yang bersangkutan berjalan sesuai dengan tujuan yang diharapkan. Namun pada kenyataannya, sering kali terdapat permasalahan-permasalahan yang tak terduga yang mengharuskan terjadinya suatu penambahan dan pengurangan item maupun volume pekerjaan. Dimana hal tersebut biasa disebut dengan pekerjaan Variation order. Adanya pekerjaan Variation order secara tidak langsung akan mengakibatkan terjadinya perubahan biaya serta jadwal pelaksanaan proyek. Sehingga diperlukan suatu kesepakatan antara pemilik proyek dan kontraktor mengenai pengajuan perubahan biaya serta waktu pelaksanaan proyek untuk menghindari terjadinya perselisihan antara owner dan kontraktor dengan cara melakukan analisa jenis item pekerjaan, nilai, serta dampak dari pekerjaan Variation order yang terjadi. Dimana nantinya harus diajukan dalam bentuk dokumen pengajuan kompensasi biaya dan waktu pekerjaan Variation order yang disahkan melalui rapat khusus yang dihadiri Owner, Konsultan QS, MK, serta Kontraktor. Seperti halnya dengan yang terjadi pada Proyek Pembangunan Gedung Menara Mandiri Denpasar. Dimana proyek ini mengalami banyak perubahan terkait penambahan serta pengurangan item maupun volume pekerjaan yang berdampak langsung kepada terjadinya perubahan kontrak proyek yang bersangkutan. Dimana terjadi sebanyak 16 jenis pekerjaan Variaton Order dengan nilai yang didapat berdasarkan perhitungan dengan metode deskriptif kuantitatif sebesar Rp. 16.262.850. dengan nilai kontrak awalnya sebesar Rp. 75.700.000.000, sehingga berdampak pada terjadinya penambahan nilai kontrak menjadi Rp. 75.716.262.850 atau sama dengan penambahan 0,02% dari nilai kontrak awal.

O enxofre apresenta grande importância para o desenvolvimento das culturas, sendo normalmente constatado o aumento da produtividade com o fornecimento deste nutriente em cobertura, entretanto, há poucos estudos que relatam o efeito da adubação com enxofre na cultura da rúcula. Portanto, o objetivo foi de avaliar o desenvolvimento da cultura da rúcula submetida à adubação com enxofre aplicado em cobertura. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos ao acaso, com cinco tratamentos (0; 20; 40; 60; 80 mg de S planta-1) e quatro repetições, cada parcela foi constituída por 5 vasos, com quatro plantas cada. Durante o desenvolvimento das plantas foi avaliada a intensidade de cor verde das folhas aos 16, 23 e 30 dias após a emergência. Aos 30 dias após a emergência (final do ciclo) foram avaliados o número de folhas, altura, massa seca da parte aérea, massa seca da raiz e massa seca total. A adubação com enxofre em cobertura aumenta a intensidade de cor verde das folhas de rúcula.

Objetivou-se determinar o tipo de ação gênica predominante no controle de algumas características estimando a capacidade geral de combinação (CGC) e a capacidade específica de combinação (CEC) entre híbridos comerciais de milho para produção de grãos sob diferentes níveis de fósforo. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em látice 8 x 8 com duas repetições, sendo analisadas três características de interesse para a produção de grãos. As combinações híbridas responderam de forma diferenciada às capacidades de combinações quando submetidas às condições de baixa e alta disponibilidade de fósforo indicando que a seleção deverá ser realizada em ambientes onde os mesmos serão utilizados. Conclui-se que o híbrido AG 8060 possui maior concentração de alelos favoráveis para o incremento da característica produtividade de grãos sendo o mais indicado na síntese de populações de polinização aberta. As combinações AG 8060 x AG 1051 e P 30F53Y x IMPACTO possuem maior efeito heterótico, sendo estas combinações híbridas as mais indicadas para produção de grãos. Na maioria das características predomina a ação gênica não-aditiva de dominância.

Purpose: Global environmental change of climate variability and land use dynamics are emerging livelihood challenges facing local poor. Although, the synergetic impacts of these processes have been cognate in Ethiopia, vulnerability researches were fixed to climate variability, inadequate on conceptual and methodological considerations of non-climate stressors. To this attention, we assessed small-scale farmers’ vulnerability situations in Anger watershed of southwestern Ethiopia. Methods: The case study design guided by mixed methods approach was used. Multistage sampling technique was used for the study. The data collected from 335 household heads were analyzed by multivariate analysis, measures of differences, and substantiated by qualitative enquiry based on focus group discussions and observations. Result: Household’s vulnerability magnitude ranges from high to moderate, while in aggregate, kolla agroecology was more vulnerable than highland. The effects of social adaptability and sensitivity to land resources were significantly contributed for the vulnerability differences. Although, climate variability was notable, structural land use dynamics was unequivocal stressor deepened the household’s vulnerability in kolla. Conclusions: Vulnerability is the result of interactive and interconnected processes of climate, non-climate stressors, and households’ internal capacity in the study area. Thus, attributing local vulnerability to only climate variability, neglecting local non-climatic disturbances could mislead development planning. Hence, future studies should consider such processes simultaneously to provide comprehensive evidences on vulnerability situations. The national adaptations program needs to integrate climate change with the emerging other global changes in planning rural resilience. Policy fortifying agricultural investments should synchronize win-win strategy for relationships between investors and local community.

Empowerment approach is considered as one of the efficient approaches in rural development activities in Iran through the rural planning system within the framework of five-year programs with government investment in order to achieve sustainable rural development. In this study, it was investigated the role of government investments in empowering villagers, How its effectiveness in the rural area of Kashan was studied. Descriptive-analytical research method and sample population were selected using three-dimensional matrix method of government investment, village location and rural population of 12 villages and 316 rural households. To explain the relationships between independent and dependent variables, Pearson correlation in appropriate statistical environments and for modeling effects, the structural equation model (SEM) in AMOS software was used. Findings indicate a strong, positive and direct relationship between the two variables of investment and rural empowerment (P = 0.000). As the amount of investment increases, the empowerment of the villagers increases. The structural equation model showed that government investment with a factor load of 0.072 has an effect on rural empowerment (RMSEA = 0.036). Following these results in achieving sustainable rural development, the empowerment approach should be considered as a goal and not as a tool. In the experience of government investment in the rural area of Kashan in Central Iran, the investment process was relatively effective and in the future the investment process and implementation of rural projects in general and in arid and semi-arid areas in particular, empowerment and institutionalization approach in Villages are essential.

Purpose: The purpose of the research is to evaluate the compliance of tourism development with the ecotourism principles through the opinions of visitors Guilan province as a unique destination in Iran. Methods: This study was conducted using the descriptive-analytical method. A questionnaire is designed and filled by the visitors. The gathered data have been analyzed by binomial, Friedman, and path analysis in SPSS and LISREL software. The barometer of ecotourism has also been modified to explain human welfare and natural ecotourism. Results: The results of this research have indicated that the tourism activities are significantly compliant with the principles and that education and awareness can considerably influence other dimensions. Conclusion: Tourists in the study area are highly interested in observing the principles of ecotourism. This is seen in all aspects of helping the local economy, protecting the environment, communicating with the local community, and education. However, the status of environmental protection is appropriate in the study area. This is likely resulted from understanding of the visitors about the unique nature of Guilan province and its outstanding features. The scarcity of these resources has made tourists more protective of them. On the other hand, since most of the tourists in this province have recreational purposes, we should try to pay more attention to education as one of the pillars of ecotourism.

Today, the extent and complexity of human-natural environment interactions, young lands, environmental instabilities of settlements with more frequency and intensity than before and are serious. What is the environmental sustainability of rural settlements according to the morphotectonic variables of the region? What factors affect sustainability of rural settlements the region? No report has been submitted in this research area. Fuzzy multivariate spatial analysis and Data ISO and geomorphic indices such as W, SL, Hi, Ar and SMF and Iat index were used to assess stability. Topographic data, earthquakes, fault systems, geology, geomorphology, morphostructure were analyzed and morphotectonic zones of the region were determined. The results of this study show that in the study area there is a Horst and Graben system with east-west trend which is formed by a system of faults parallel to the north-south trend. 4 different morphotectonic patterns (A, B, C, D) were identified with different characteristics and coefficients of morphotechnical stability in the research area. According to the results of the analysis of the Iat index, 57% of the settlements in the region are located in zone A, which is morphotectonically stable. 23.5% of the settlements are located in zone C with high instability and the settlements of zone B 16% and in zone D 4.9% with different coefficients show more severe and severe morphotectonic instability, respectively. The results show that the main cause of environmental instability in the western region of Lake Urmia is due to the active fault system of the region.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the status of effective factors on drought management in rural areas, which was done in rural areas of Eslamabad Gharb. The statistical population of the study consists of all households of over 20 households in seven rural districts. Using the Cochran formula, 374 of them (located in 21 villages) have been studied as examples. To analyze the data, the confirmatory factor analysis method was used in SPSS 22 and Smart-Pls software. Finally, in the qualitative paradigm, based on the data-based approach, the open coding results indicated the existence of key terms in the form of 44 concepts, then transformed into four main categories at the axial coding stage. In the last step, namely selective coding, while defining the core category, the final model of the foundation data was presented. The results of this study showed that economic dimension, drought management, with a 17.642 significance economic dimension, shows drought management at a confidence level of 0.95%. The path coefficient between these two is 0.251, which suggests that the economic dimension of 0.251 percent explains directly the drought management. Accordingly, first, government measures should be taken to establish technical, institutional and service infrastructure in the region, and then, based on the capacity of the region, taking into account the prestigious rural population, in line with public participation, as well as the prevention of migration, basic measures should be taken.

These issues and the economic instability resulting from the implementation of neoliberal policies have led to the commodification of land and housing, which has attracted capital. One of the main consequences of such a situation is that on the one hand, the destruction of natural resources, land erosion, environmental degradation and the occurrence of devastating floods have been increased, and on the other hand, unjustified class division and transfer of villagers from productive activities to unproductive businesses, such as security guard, villa caretakers and services of travel and transportation companies, have endangered the social and food security of Iran. In this article, land use change has been studied using satellite images of East Guilan (Lahijan, Siahkal, Ashrafieh and Langrood counties) in 1989, 2000 and 2015. The information needed to identify the factors affecting land use change has been collected through visits, purposeful interviews in different parts of the area, and the study of written sources and archives of local offices. These data were analyzed using the "grounded theory" method in the Max Kiuda system. Findings show that land use changes in the region are related to various ecological, social, economic and political factors. Increased population pressure along with technological developments, land use policies, development plans, investments, land speculation and personal exploitation have each had some effect on land use change. State of nature has little dependence on tax revenues due to its natural resource revenues; As a result, it is not accountable.

The present study was designed to investigate the spatial variations of public transport passengers before and after Corona in the metropolitan area of ​​Mashhad. For this purpose, after conducting documentary studies, descriptive information about the volume of public transport passengers was obtained from Mashhad Bus Organization separately from each station, and at the same time with preparing a spatial map of the stations, a spatial database was formed. The period under study includes before Corona (March 1997 to February 1998) and after Corona (March 1998 to September 2010). Spatial differences before and after Corona were determined using classical and spatial statistics methods. The results showed significant differences in changes before and after corona. On the other hand, showing the differences showed that in rural areas with a long distance from the city of Mashhad in the west and northwest, unlike other areas, the volume of movements after Corona has increased. Using geographical regression model also showed that among local factors, economic characteristics related to each village show the greatest role in explaining the changes, which in some areas also explains up to 63%. Due to the demographic and economic structure of this area and their strong dependence on public transportation, methods such as closing or reducing operating hours; It brings more segregation of these villages. It is suggested that such studies, focusing on spatial analysis of changes, can assist public transportation management in redesigning programs related to this area.

Our statistical universe includes 11 villages of Simekan district in the suburbs of Jahrom County, these villages have taken a loan over 50 items from Housing Foundation. For estimating the sample volume at rural family level, by using Cochran sampling method with 95 percent accuracy, the number of 186 persons (family guardian) was questioned by simple random sampling method. Then, the necessary information was gathered by survey and questionnaire. Based on the results of factor analysis, among the first two factors in the order of effectiveness proportion, the first factor (satisfaction with rural homing) describes 57.455 percent of variance by itself and the second factor (homing retrofitting) is accounted for 20.835 percent of variance. Also, it was found that the best reason for retrofitting of rural homes is using of rural homing facilities (67%). Safety against natural disasters such as earth quake and flood (33%) is another reason for homing retrofitting, so our main hypothesis is supported. According to the results of hypothesis testing, based on Pearson correlation coefficient and regarding to variance testing and our significance number which is more than 0.05, there isn’t a significant difference between our independent variables (gender, age & education) and housing retrofitting.

The purpose of this study is to develop a model for tourism supply chain management in the mountainous forest villages of central Mazandaran. In this research, rural tourism supply chain management processes were detected through a systematic review and the Delphi method. To analyze the data and to build a model, ISM and Micmac methods were employed. The final model shows that knowledge management is the most basic process in the tourism supply chain in the region. This is owing to the great influence of this process and the lack of its strong dependence on other processes. Information management processes, risk, market, service performance, demand, capacity, and customer relationship have a linking role in this model. These parameters have a great influence and a strong dependence on the other parameters of the chain. Financial management is the most dependent process in the tourism chain of the region with a low influence but a high dependence on the other processes. Order management is an autonomous process in the tourism chain of the studied region. Indeed, it has both a low influence and a low dependence on the other processes of the chain.
Libya, the media and the language of violence: A Corpus-Assisted Discourse Analysis
Authors: Attia Safa
Published: January 2022

The Arab revolution euphoria of 2011 was covered around the clock by different media sites, engaging millions of followers around the world, and eventually turning into discontent in some affected countries. This study examines the outcomes of the Libyan uprising (2011–2015), specifically the topics of civil-war and terrorism, through the lenses of the Arab written media in Arabic (Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya), the Arab written media in English (Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya), and the Western written media in English (BBC and CNN). Through Corpus-Assisted Discourse Analysis (CADS), integrating discursive news values analysis (DNVA), this study highlights the ideological representations of these media, and examines their similarities and differences in terms of frequency distribution and story content. The findings indicate that the media coverage of the outcomes of the Libyan Revolution, when reporting on the topics of war and terrorism, follow similar directions in the story content and the frequency distribution, with some differences in the latter between the analysed media sites. Also, the collocations, concordances, and DNVA results, especially NEGATIVITY, IMPACT and ELITENESS, prove the emphasis of the media on violent language, making terrorism appear the norm, and thus manipulating the audience and affecting their understanding of the news.

Background Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and the fifth leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Serum psa, a glycoprotein and a serine protease, which is increased in all prostatic diseases but markedly elevated levels are indicative of carcinoma prostate. The present study was done to evaluate the histopathologyof carcinoma of prostate in trus guided prostatic biopsy specimens and correlate serum psa levels with gleason score and grade groups.
Methods A hundred patients presented with luts and suspicious of carcinoma prostate underwent trus guided 16 core prostatic biopsy. Histopathological examination, gleason scores and grades of biopsies were obtained. Based on the gleason scores, patients with carcinoma of the prostate were divided into five-grade groups. Mean serum psa levels were calculated and correlated with gleason score and grade groups.
Results Malignancy was found in 69 per cent of cases, of which 68 patients were found to have adenocarcinoma of the prostate, one patient found to have undifferentiated carcinoma of the prostate. The total number of patients in each gleason grade groups were obtained, and the mean serum psa levels of these patients in each group were calculated. Mean serum psa levels in each group are group 1 (21.3 ng/ml), group 2 (58.4 ng/ml), group 3 (73.6 ng/ml), group 4 (118.4 ng/ml), group 5 (96.3 ng/ml).
Conclusion Serum psa is a highly sensitive tumour marker with low specificity, and its levels are increased in many benign and iatrogenic conditions. Psa has a high negative predictive value which is essential in ruling out malignancy. In our study, higher serum psa levels were correlated with higher gleason score and grades.

Background Pheochromocytoma is a tumour of the adrenal medulla, derived from catecholamine producing chromaffin cells. Malignant pheochromocytomas constitute 10–25% of all cases. These are difficult to diagnose microscopically. Therefore, malignant pheochromocytomas are diagnosed by the presence of local invasion or metastatic disease.
Case presentation We present a case of malignant Pheochromocytoma in a 20-year-old woman from south India with classic symptoms whose urinary metanephrines levels were elevated. After controlling the blood pressure preoperatively and laparoscopic right-sided adrenalectomy was performed. The Postoperative period was uneventful. Histopathology proved to be malignant pheochromocytoma with a PASS score of 16/20 and immunohistochemical staining was positive. DOTATATE PET/CT showed no evidence of disease anywhere else in the body.
Conclusion Malignant pheochromocytomas are rare tumor, so they pose a significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. DOTATATE PET/CT helps in the localization of metastatic disease.
ZARAR SİGORTALARINA İLİŞKİN HİLELİ SİGORTA TALEPLERİNİN İNGİLİZ HUKUKU NAZARINDA DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Zarar sigortaları bakımından hileli sigorta talepleri, menfaati sigortalanan kişinin hileli davranışlarda bulunmak suretiyle sigortacının hukuken ödemekle mükellef olmadığı sigorta tazminatını yahut ödemesi gerekenden daha yüksek miktarda tazminat ödemesini sağlamaya çalışması halinde karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Hileli sigorta talepleri ve bu mahiyetteki taleplerin görünüş biçimleri İngiliz sigorta hukukunda uzun yıllardan bu yana doktrin ve mahkemeler nezdinde tartışılmış ve konuya ilişkin adalete ve hakkaniyete uygun kurallar yerleşik hale gelmiştir. Türk hukukunda hileli sigorta talepleri bazı görünüş biçimleri itibariyle düzenlenmiş ve fakat bu mahiyetteki taleplerin tümüne birden şâmil olacak temel prensipler oluşmamıştır. Çalışmamızda hileli sigorta taleplerini İngiliz ve Türk sigorta hukuku bakımından zarar sigortalarına münhasır olacak şekilde inceleyecek, İngiliz hukukunda yerleşik içtihatlar ve doktrin ışığında, Türk hukukunda zarar sigortaları bakımından karşılaşılabilecek hileli sigorta taleplerini ve bu mahiyetteki talepler karşısında uygulanabilecek müeyyideleri tetkik edeceğiz.

Entre las líneas de investigación vanguardista en el ámbito de la educación estadística se encuentra el razonamiento inferencial, como herramienta fundamental para la toma de decisiones; factor que acentúa su importancia tratándose de licenciaturas del área económico-administrativa donde los futuros profesionales deben probar hipótesis, construir intervalos de confianza y hacer estimaciones sobre poblaciones basándose en datos referentes a muestras representativas. En este sentido, el objetivo de este trabajo es medir el razonamiento inferencial de los estudiantes de licenciatura del área económico-administrativa de la Universidad de Guadalajara para diagnosticar e identificar fortalezas y áreas de oportunidad, que puedan utilizarse en la implementación de soluciones pertinentes tanto en el aspecto pedagógico como disciplinar, y así elevar el rendimiento futuro de los alumnos. Para ello se aplicó el examen CAOS-4 a una muestra de 326 estudiantes, dicho instrumento ha sido validado estadísticamente para estudiantes universitarios, y permite determinar el nivel de razonamiento inferencial. Los resultados encontrados muestran que los estudiantes tienen dificultades para identificar y plantear hipótesis, no entienden la naturaleza probabilista de las conclusiones de la inferencia estadística, interpretan erróneamente los intervalos de confianza y el margen de error.
Formación continua de docentes durante la contingencia sanitaria desde la perspectiva de directivos escolares

Published: January 2022

El campo educativo es uno de los más afectados por la COVID-19. Los docentes se han tenido que adaptar para desarrollar sus clases en ambientes completamente distintos a los habituales. A pesar de la abundante investigación de las nuevas condiciones educativas, un aspecto poco explorado ha sido la oferta de formación recibida por los docentes en este contexto. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la percepción y valoración de directivos escolares mexicanos de educación primaria respecto a la oferta de formación continua a los docentes durante los meses de contingencia sanitaria, y la manera en que han atendido dicha oferta o impulsado otras acciones. La investigación es exploratoria y tiene un enfoque cualitativo. Se aplicaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a siete directivos de educación primaria de diferentes regiones del país, y su contenido se analizó de forma cualitativa. Como hallazgo principal se constata la multiplicación de la oferta formativa autoadministrable y el impulso paralelo dado por colectivos docentes a las iniciativas de autoformación y formación entre pares. Se concluye la necesidad de combinar dos componentes para la formación docente: 1) la formación autoadministrable, y 2) el acompañamiento a los docentes en sus procesos formativos, con especial atención a su práctica profesional.
