A luta pela gestão democrática no campo educacional no Brasil é uma reivindicação antiga e essencial para a garantia de uma educação de qualidade. Após o fim do regime autoritário e a redemocratização do país, na década de 1980, a gestão democrática na educação se tornou uma pauta central dos movimentos sociais e educacionais. A Constituição de 1988 e a Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional (LDBEN) de 1996, reconheceram a gestão democrática como um princípio fundamental da educação, estabelecendo a participação da comunidade escolar nas decisões pedagógicas e administrativas. No entanto, a implementação da gestão democrática tem enfrentado diversos desafios, dentre os quais a resistência de setores conservadores e autoritários, e a influência de interesses políticos e econômicos. Dessa forma, o objeto geral desse estudo foi analisar a gestão democrática no campo da escola pública brasileira, a partir de questões históricas, documentais e legais. Para tanto, foi empregada uma abordagem metodológica de revisão bibliográfica, a partir dos teóricos nacionais e internacionais, que desenvolvem estudos pertinentes ao tema desse artigo. Assim, compreendeu-se que a gestão democrática vai além de um modelo administrativo, sendo uma concepção sociopolítica e pedagógica que reconhece a educação como um direito humano fundamental e um espaço de construção coletiva de conhecimentos e valores.

We report the infectivity of a crow derived influenza A (H5N1) virus (A/crow/India/01TR01/2012) in chickens and its pathological and genetic characterization. Histopathological changes and immunohistochemistry staining of internal organs and skeletal muscle were consistent with influenza A virus infection. Real time RT-PCR and virus isolation results demonstrated the systemic spread of the virus in chickens with 100% mortality. Comparatively higher level of virus shedding was detected in oropharyngeal swab (7.63×106 viral RNA copy) than in cloacal swab (6.66 × 106 viral RNA copy). Concentrations of viral antigen in kidney, lungs, brain, spleen and large intestine were higher compared to pancreas and skeletal muscle. No genetic change was observed on interspecies transmission of the virus. The study revealed that the crow derived H5N1 virus is able to kill the poultry, underlining the need for close monitoring of presence of virus in poultry near crow roosting areas so that further transmission to other avian and mammalian hosts can be prevented.

The study was conducted on 35 male buffalo calves suffering from obstructive urolithiasis. The common clinical signs recorded were anuria, dull anxious look, kicking at the ventral abdomen, persistent efforts for micturition, which may be accompanied by rectal prolapse and pulsating urethra with contraction and relaxation of preputial orifice in cases with intact urinary bladder whereas bilateral distension of abdomen with fluid thrill, sunken eyes and no effort for micturation in cases of ruptured urinary bladder. The heart rate and respiratory rate were mildly elevated. The haematological parameters showed no significant changes. There was a significant increase in blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine and plasma potassium which returned to near normal level in 48 h post-operatively. The pH of urine changed from alkaline to slightly acidic during the course of treatment. Ultrasonography was very effective tool for examining the status of urinary system in affected animals. Tube cystostomy had a high success rate in treating cases of obstructive urolithiasis in buffalo calves.

Authors: GUPTA ASHOK KUMAR , PAL YASH , KUMAR SANJAY
Published: August 2023

An equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG) based sandwich ELISA (sELISA) was developed for confirmation of early conception in pregnant mares around 30 days of gestation and fetus viability thereafter. This serum based quantitative assay is quite sensitive, specific, precise and efficient. Serum eCG content higher than 10 IU/ml during early gestation was used for confirmation of conception while eCG content more than 40 IU/ml was taken as cut off for fetus viability between 40 – 60 days of gestation. Assay was performed with more than 4,000 field serum samples and compared with equivalent commercial pregnancy diagnostic kit with its better sensitivity. Assay showed little cross reactivity with serum of non pregnant mares, jennies, and other animal species. Confirmation of fetus viability sELISA helped in re-servicing the mares which are observed to empty after conception failure or fetal loss.

Published: August 2023

The present study was conducted to study the crenellation patterns of semen and their relation with different seminal characteristics and post-thaw motility. Dried semen samples were classified into 6 grades (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2) based on the crenellation patterns. The study showed that breeds/strains had highly significant (P< 0.01) effect on different seminal traits. Significant (P< 0.05) effect of month of collection on sperm concentration and post- thaw motility was also observed. Crenellation patterns had highly significant (P< 0.01) effect on sperm concentration, initial motility and post-thaw motility. Sperm concentration, Initial motility and post-thaw motility was superior in A1, A2 and B1 grade and inferior in C1 and C2. B2 grade was of intermediate quality semen. A1, A2 and B1 grade ejaculates gave best post-thaw motility after cryopreservation. Poor post-thaw motility was found in C1, C2 and B2 grade ejaculates. Thus the crenellation can be effectively used as an indicator for simple and quick evaluation of semen quality in any semen laboratory as well as, at field level.

Published: August 2023

Present study assessed the effect of floor space allowances on carcass traits of crossbred (Landrace × Desi) barrows in Indian conditions. Crossbred barrows (36) were reared with 3 different floor space allowances (12 each) having group size of 4 pigs/pen. One group (TIS) was provided floor space as per Indian Standards (0.9, 1.35 and 1.8 m2/pig for weaner, grower and finisher stages, respectively) specifications, while other two groups with 33% (T2/3) and 50% (T1/2) reduced floor space allowances. Pigs were reared up to 29 weeks of age. Final weight of pigs did not differ significantly among the groups. Six animals from each group were slaughtered. None of the major economic carcass traits, viz. carcass weight, dressing %, back fat thickness (BFT), loin eye area (LEA), estimated lean meat percentage etc. was adversely affected. Major cut-up parts, share of edible as well as inedible offal and composition of pork (moisture, CP and EE) also did not differ among groups. It indicates scope of 50 % reduction in floor space allowance for pig production in India without affecting final body weight and major carcass characteristics.

Published: August 2023

Belahi cattle are medium sized dual utility migratory breed maintained and primarily conserved by Gujjar community in India. The average first lactation milk yield recorded was about 1,071 kg with average daily milk yield and peak yield of 3.45 and 5.5 kg, respectively which is higher than the national average of indigenous cattle. Milk constitutes traits were estimated in pooled milk as 14.38% total solids, 5.25% fat, 3.45% protein and 5.20% lactose, indicating good quality of the milk. However, planned efforts for their genetic improvement are needed to improve gains. Our findings suggests that Belahi cattle has a good milk potential on low input, dual purpose utility, has high socioeconomic relevance and can immensely contribute to the livelihood security of Gujjar pastoralists of the sub Himalayan region. We recommend that these herds should be associated with Progeny Testing program/Open Nucleus Breeding System to explore their full milking potential. Further we recommend, long pending, strong policy support for such migratory groups, as they immensely contribute in economy of the state and in conservation of indigenous cattle genetic resources.

Published: August 2023

Present study was designed to evaluate the semen quality of breeding bulls positive for 24 and 30 kDa heparin binding proteins (HBPs) in the semen. Seventeen Holstein Friesian breeding bulls were screened for 24 and 30 kDa HBPs in semen by heparin-sepharose affinity chromatography and SDS-PAGE, and grouped into three based on presence/absence of HBPs. In vitro characteristics of spermatozoa were assessed by standard analysis of sperm abnormalities, functional membrane integrity, acrosome integrity and sperm chromatin integrity in fresh and frozen- thawed semen. Bulls positive for 30 kDa had lowest sperm abnormalities and sperm chromatin fragmentation than bulls positive for 24 kDa and without HBPs in the fresh ejaculates. Further, fresh semen positive for 30 kDa had 8.76% of higher active plasma membrane with 7.63% intact acrosome. The process of cryopreservation of semen increased sperm abnormalities, acrosome damage and chromatin fragmentation in all the semen samples irrespective of presence/absence of HBPs. However, semen samples positive for 24 and 30 kDa HBPs were able to sustain lower percentage of post-thaw sperm abnormalities with higher chromatin integrity in comparison to semen devoid of HBPs. Moreover, semen with 24 and 30 kDa HBPs had higher post-thaw intact acrosome with active plasma membrane than negative semen. The results concluded that bulls positive for 30 kDa had 12.43 and 28.37 percentages of better semen quality than bulls with 24 kDa and devoid of HBPs.

Published: August 2023

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of single-step and two-step vitrification techniques on post-thaw survivability and subsequent in vitro maturation of immature bovine oocytes. In two-step vitrification method, oocytes were first equilibrated in vitrification solution-I and then vitrification solution–II of 3.5M or 4.0M and 7.0M or 8.0M glycerol + ethylene glycol (GLY+EG) cryoprotectant respectively. In single-step vitrification technique oocytes were directly exposed to final vitrification solution (7 M or 8 M of GLY+EG) for 45, 60 and 75 sec to find out the suitable exposure time based on post-thaw survivability and subsequent development in vitro. In single step vitrification the per cent morphologically normal oocyte, cumulus cells expansion and polar body formation was found to be significantly highest in oocytes of least exposure (45 seconds) period for 8M of GLY+EG. The per cent recovery of morphologically normal oocytes was found to be higher in two steps (91.81±1.42 and 91.18±1.17) than single step vitrification technique (87.94±3.49 and 85.72±2.24 of 45 sec exposure time) for both 7M and 8M of GLY+EG. The rate of cumulus cells expansion and polar body formation was significantly higher in two-steps (81.34±2.65% and 76.54±3.60% and 56.93±1.52% and 51.76±2.87%) than single step vitrification technique (57.33±3.90% and 56.91±4.66% and 33.17±5.34% and 32.70±2.91%). From the study it was concluded that two-step vitrification technique was more effective on post-thaw survivability and subsequent in vitro maturation of immature bovine oocytes.

Authors: Odey Ferdinand Ite , Eno Willie Ebri
Published: August 2023

Technology has, in the last two decades in particular, witnessed rapid advancement, with ground-breaking and disruptive innovations which continue to challenge and transform the ‘traditional’ ways of doing things. This study explored the nexus between disruptive technology and entrepreneurship innovation in emerging economies using Nigeria as a case study. The classical ordinary least squares regression technique was used for data analysis. It was revealed from the findings that new market disruption has a significant positive impact on entrepreneurship innovation in Calabar Metropolis of Cross River State, while the low-end disruption has no significant effect on entrepreneurship innovation. It was recommended that new market disruptive innovation should be design in such a way that entrepreneurial innovation will be radically oriented rather than incremental in nature so as to apply to product, service and business-model opportunities in used by entrepreneurs. Low-end disruptive innovation should be model by management of firms to target overshot customers with lower-cost business models. Government should implement policies that have an overwhelming influence in shaping the opportunities that entrepreneur’s target. Regulation created to respect the forces of innovation can create an environment ripe for yielding disruptive change. With the advent of innovation, entrepreneurs must partner with upcoming innovations so as to explore the technological and growth opportunities therefrom and give customers better and more innovative product offerings. Entrepreneurs and other business owners should employ the use of new technology as this enhances productivity and reduces the cost of production.

Published: August 2023

From the perspective of law enforcement and other professions, covert visual surveillance can be an effective and necessary tool for performing tasks such as investigating crimes, fighting terrorism, and surveillance of suspicious individuals or groups. The relevance of covert visual surveillance depends on the context and situation. The research aims to assess the established techniques and modern methods of covert visual surveillance, as well as the means used to fulfil its tasks from the legal perspective. The study uses comparative legal, historical, and legal, logical, and legal methods, systemic and structural analysis, as well as methods of logic (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, analogy, comparison, and generalisation). The identification of specific techniques and means of covert visual surveillance allowed the author to formulate a legal assessment of the use of each of them in different conditions and by different subjects. Based on the results of the research, the author provides a legal description of various types of surveillance, including specific techniques for placing observers in space concerning various objects: movable and immovable; persons, objects, and certain places. The author assesses the legality of the use of technical means used during surveillance, as well as the means of ensuring its secrecy. The conditions for the legitimacy of the use of specific groups of techniques and means for conducting visual surveillance by various subjects are determined. It is argued that the use by private law entities of mobile surveillance techniques for monitoring a person identified by them is unlawful and will indicate the illegal collection of confidential information about them, committed by a group of persons by prior conspiracy. The practical value of the research lies in the possibility of direct use of its results by representatives of law enforcement agencies and other professions to choose acceptable (lawful) methods and means of conducting covert visual surveillance and avoid the use of unacceptable (unlawful) ones

The city of the future in the European Commission's documents: A comprehensive analysis
Authors: Frankiv Roman
Published: August 2023

The study analyses a holistic vision of the city of the future, which is scattered in various documents and programmes of the European Union. The research relevance is predefined by the need to create a holistic vision that can act as an attractive representative of all current urban values in the mass culture and promote the qualities of environmental friendliness, inclusiveness, cohesion, sustainability, self-sufficiency, etc. The research aims to outline a holistic vision of the city of the future supported by EU documents necessary for the crystallisation of its historical identity. The research results were obtained by using the synthesis method. This study proposes to synthesise the following main conceptual groups of the discourse around the city of the future aimed at the ideals of optimal density, renewable self-sufficiency, techno-biosphere symbiosis, participatory cooperation, social cohesion, and multi-age valorisation. Each of these groups is first considered separately as a field of scientific attention, its main characteristics are given and evaluated in terms of usefulness for improving the urban environment. Next, an attempt is made to combine these groups employing a comprehensive analysis, the methodology of which is aimed at identifying common content nodes in the concepts and tools of each group. Subsequently, they are combined into a common conceptual system, an essential feature of which is the expansion of the interpretation of the features of each group as part of the features of other groups. This allowed to avoid the division of the current discourse around the image of the city of the future into different sectors and to work more effectively with the implementation and promotion of the values of the city image, which is supported by official documents of the European Commission, which is relevant for Ukraine, which seeks EU membership. In addition, the findings can be used in the education of students majoring in architecture and urban planning, as well as design

Authors: Shandrivska Olena , Kizlyak Yana
Published: August 2023

The express delivery market is one of the most dynamic sectors of the economy, without which the effective functioning of business, e-commerce, retail, etc., is impossible. Under the influence of external factors, such as the military invasion of the territory of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in 2022, the parameters of the activity of express delivery market operators have changed, which actualises the issues of analysing the performance indicators of the express delivery market and studying changes in consumer behaviour in the field of express delivery services. The purpose of the study is to present the results of a comprehensive investigation of the features of transformation of the Ukrainian express delivery market in conditions of instability. To achieve the research goal, a set of scientific methods was used: system, statistical analysis, and index method. To identify changes in the structure of needs of consumers of express delivery services in the context of disturbances, a marketing study and an express survey of end users were conducted. The dynamics of the development of the Ukrainian express delivery market during a full-scale war is studied in terms of identifying the competitive positions of enterprises in the segment and distributing "market power" among the participants of the market under study. The enterprises that form the "core" of the market and their role in shaping the intensity of competition in the express delivery market in Ukraine are identified. The results of a marketing study on changes in consumer purchasing behaviour during the war in Ukraine are presented and the profile of the target audience of services before and during the war is established. The high adaptive capacity of enterprises providing express delivery services to conditions of instability in terms of restoring operational activities and adjusting the parameters of logistics activities in accordance with changes in the needs of consumers was noted. Consumer needs, business digitalisation, and life safety remain the determining factors for the development of the sector under study in the context of disturbances. The results can be applied in practice by the heads of the marketing and logistics department, the planning and economic department of enterprises in the express cargo transportation sector, and interested groups of stakeholders in the express cargo delivery market
FIRST ON LAND, LAND IN PLAN: THE ORANG ASLI AS KEY PLAYERS IN FOREST REHABILITATION, MANAGEMENT AND CONSERVATION PRACTICES
Authors: ABRAHAM N D , NG J Y , MATHEWS J
Published: August 2023

There are 869 Orang Asli communities within Peninsular Malaysia, with the state of Pahang accommodating the highest number of Orang Asli. Despite formal acknowledgement of the government’s responsibility to the Orang Asli (Aboriginal Peoples Act, 1954), the Orang Asli have always been considered relatively unimportant players within the Malaysian political sphere, often marginalised and exploited for their ancestral land. Success stories in Asia and a variety of literature have revealed that community based forestry and management practises have been a proven means to rehabilitate and conserve forests sustainably. Through interviews conducted with Orang Asli in the Pekan Forest Reserve, (neighbouring Bukit Leelau Estate), this paper uses this case study coupled with the rehabilitation works with the same Orang Asli community conducted by the Global Environment Centre (GEC) to reveal the true impacts community based forestry can have. Only when the Orang Asli are recognised as key players, can the combined efforts from both the state authority and the Orang Asli produce an inclusive and effective framework towards better rehabilitation, management and conservation practises. The review shows that at the same time an interview with a few residents of the Orang Asli settlement adjoining a plantation indicates that the residents benefit from the plantation: some having employment in the plantation and the community benefits from the plantations’ infrastructure for access. The interview also reveal that the peatlands was a result of carelessness by fishermen who use fires on poles to attract fish during fishing at night. Keywords: Orang Asli, aborigines, peatland, peat fire, peat rehabilitation.

Authors:   BANGLADESH AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE, BARI G M M
Published: August 2023

Infestation of litchi (Litchi chinensis) by fruit borer, Conopomorpha sinensis is severe in Bangladesh. Two separate experiments on varietal susceptibility and management, were conducted inrandomised complete block design (RCBD) with three replications at the Fruit Research Station, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Rajshahi, Bangladesh to identify fruit borer tolerant litchi variety and to develop cost effective guidelines for managing this pest in 2018-19. Netting as protection as well as combination of spraying chemicals and bio-chemicals including sanitation was used as curative measures. Among all the management treatments, netting the whole plant with mosquito net of 40 mesh starting from pea stage (fruit setting) as well as sanitation (pruning of shader branches and removal of fallen leaves of the tree) plus spraying of imidacloprid 1 ml (20 SL product) per litre of water at pea stage (fruit setting) and spinosad 1.2 ml (2.5 EC product) at marble stage (developing) and at early ripening stage (twenty days before harvest) of fruit showed higher but statistically similar performance. Netting reduced 89 and 95 per cent borer infestation at developing and ripening stages respectively over control and it showed highest yield performance (4 071 fruits per plant) i.e.76 per cent healthy fruit yield increase over control and also highest (3.7) marginal benefit cost ratio (MBCR). The chemical treatment provided 64.86 and 82.95 per cent reduction of borer infestation at developing and ripening stages respectively over control. There was an increase of 76.16 per cent of healthy fruit yield over control and also 3.6 MBCR. These two guidelines were recommended among six eco-friendly management treatments. Results indicated that among the three common cultivated litchi varieties, China 3 was the most tolerant variety to fruit borer.

Marketing analysis of the functioning environment of agrarian enterprises
Authors: Penkova Oksana , Kharenko Andrii
Published: August 2023

Before the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the agricultural sector of Ukraine developed dynamically and played a leading role in ensuring domestic and global food security, employment of the population, and the formation of foreign exchange earnings from product exports and state budget revenues. The active phase of the war on the territory of the country radically changed the conditions for the functioning of agricultural enterprises. The purpose of the article is to characterize and assess the influence of certain elements of the external environment on the activities of agricultural enterprises. The research is based on the dialectical method of learning economic processes and the following methods are used: monographic, abstract-logical, PEST analysis, SWOT analysis. The study analyzed the works of Ukrainian scientists on the problems of the functioning of agricultural enterprises and identified the main political, economic, social and technological factors of the influence of the external environment on their activities in the conditions of martial law. It has been established that the political factors of the environment affect the activity of agricultural enterprises mainly positively, economic factors have a mainly negative effect on them, and social and technological factors have different directions. The assessment of the main strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the environment of agricultural enterprises showed the existence of prerequisites for the quantitative growth of gross volumes of their production and the need to develop a comprehensive strategy of agricultural policy for long-term growth in the conditions of post-war recovery, the key tasks of which should be ecologically oriented nature management, the development of dual education for training highly qualified workers, increasing the volume of production and export of organic and ready-made food products, technical and technological modernization of the production base. Priority stimulation of investments in increasing the volume of production of organic food products, development of primary and advanced processing of agricultural raw materials inside the faucet is proposed. The practical significance of the research lies in the fact that its results can be used by state institutions responsible for the development of the agrarian sphere, when developing a strategy for its development and substantiating measures for its implementation, by agricultural enterprises - when developing marketing strategies, by scientists - when further researching the problems of the influence of the external environment on the development of agricultural production
Nutrient regime of the soil depending on the share of sunflower in short-rotational crop
Authors: Dehtiarova Zinaida
Published: August 2023

Sunflower requires a sufficient amount of nutrients for growth and development. Therefore, it is important to determine the impact of sunflower cultivation on the soil nutrient regime, taking into account the frequency of its return to the previous place. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of the share of sunflower in short rotation crop rotations on the soil nutrient regime. The research was conducted at the experimental field of the Kharkiv V.V. Dokuchaev National Agrarian University, which is located in the Left-Bank Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. The research and accounting were carried out on typical heavy loamy chernozem in accordance with generally accepted methods. The experimental scheme included five-field crop rotations with sunflower saturation of 0, 20, 40 and 60%. The research results show that an increase in the share of sunflower in short rotation crop rotations does not lead to a deterioration in the nutrient regime of the topsoil. There was no significant difference between the variants in the content of nutrients. The most supplied with nutrients was the topsoil in the control variant (crop rotation without sunflower). With an increase in the share of sunflower in crop rotations, the amount of nutrients in the tilth layer of soil decreased slightly. Regardless of the studied crop rotation options, the availability of easily hydrolysable nitrogen was low, mobile phosphorus was average, and exchangeable potassium was high. Increasing the share of sunflower in short rotation crop rotations led to a decrease in the yield of the crop itself. The yield of sunflower seeds was at the same level in the variants with 20 and 40%. There is a close relationship between sunflower yield and its saturation, which significantly depends on the soil nutrient regime. The yield level is most affected by the content of phosphorus and potassium in the topsoil. The correlation is 0.91 and 0.98, respectively. The practical value of this study is due to the possibility of using the obtained results to justify the feasibility of increasing the share of sunflower in the structure of crop rotations

Published: August 2023

In the present investigation, ascorbic acid content was observed in the liver, muscle and gills in the Punctius ticto fishes, exposed to sub lethal concentration of dimethoate. Ascorbic acid is a key antioxidant in the liver, gill and muscles of fish. Intrinsic properties of ascorbic acid beyond acting as an antioxidant are important in its role as a key molecule in the metabolism of fish.

The present research work deals with the evaluation of the ascorbic acid on dimethoate induced in Puntius ticto. The dimethoate pesticide EC 30% was administered directly in the water contained in the aquarium at the dose of 1.3 ppm (1/5), 0.63 ppm (1/10) and 0.43 ppm (/15) respectively for 96 hrs hours after the dose calculation through LC50. Thereafter, ascorbic acid was administered to each pesticide treated group.  All over the experiment the ascorbic acid content gradually increased in the liver, muscle and slightly decreased in the gills of the intoxicated fishes.

Maize is one of the foremost cereals cultivated today, and it is a queen of cereals. Maize is threatened by a wide range of post-harvest insect pests. Therefore, a survey was conducted in Gabilay District, Somaliland in 2021 to determine the status of storage pests. During the survey a total of 60 maize storage structures were assessed in three villages of Gabilay District namely; Galloley, Ijaara, and Boqor. Data on storage structures, infestation status, grain damage, and weight loss were collected and analyzed by SPPS version 20 and interpreted using descriptive statistics. The result showed that a locally constructed bit was the major storage structure followed by sacks while iron tank is used at the lowest level. Results found also indicated that all storage structures were infested by two major insect pests, i.e., Maize weevil (S. zeamais) and Angoumois grain moth (S. cerealella) at the highest level and by molds and rats to a lesser extent. Galloley site was infested only by maize weevil, while Boqor and Ijaara sites were infested by both maize weevil and angoumois grain moth. Maize weevil accounted for the lion's share of the infestation compared to angoumois grain moth. The highest grain damage was recorded at the bottom position of the storage structure from the Ijaara area followed by Galloley and Boqor. Likewise, grain weight loss was also highest at the bottom position that showed 12.0%. These findings provide benchmark information for developing sustainable management methods for the storage of insect pests of maize in the study area. It is also recommended training on storage methods, management of storage pests and healthy maize preparation should be practiced.

El cuidado humanizado se apoya en la capacidad técnica, conocimiento científico y la relación terapéutica que el profesional de enfermería constituye con el paciente, de tal manera que trata al otro de forma cálida y centrándose en la atención óptima y de calidad, sin dejarse influir por los factores externos que afecten a la misma. Describir el cuidado humanizado aplicado en enfermería, mediante una revisión sistémica de la bibliografía. Revisión Sistemática de artículos académicos con el método PRISMA, publicados en los últimos 5 años, es decir, desde 2019 en base de datos como: Scielo, PubMed y Dialnet. Las personas si percibieron los cuidados humanizados que fueron valorados mediante tres dimensiones que son: calidad del trabajo de enfermería, disposición al cuidado y apertura a la comunicación enfermera-paciente. Siendo mayor puntuada la calidad del trabajo de enfermería y la menor puntuada la apertura a la comunicación. Los cuidados humanizados aplicados en enfermería comprenden varias acciones que deben ir de la mano para que el paciente sea tratado de manera pluridimensional, englobando su cuerpo, mente y alma.

El cambio es la constante en el mundo en que vivimos, sin embargo, tal parece que los procesos educativos del país se resisten a esta tendencia y que tanto docentes como alumnos se quedaron varados en el siglo pasado, aferrados a prácticas que no representan una alternativa adecuada de formación para las generaciones del siglo XXI que deben prepararse para enfrentar retos que hace veinte años no existían. Es en este escenario que, se realizó el presente trabajo con el objetivo de mostrar el efecto que una implementación didáctica con enfoque STEAM dentro de la materia informática provoca en el desarrollo del pensamiento creativo de niños de 9 a 11 años estudiantes de primaria en una institución privada. La metodología es cuantitativa con un diseño pre experimental (se carece del comúnmente llamado “grupo control”); como parte del trabajo de campo además de una implementación didáctica bajo el enfoque mencionado se realizó un pre test y un post test para comparar el nivel de pensamiento creativo en los sujetos de la investigación; los resultados muestran una variación que aboga por continuar con el modelo de trabajo interdisciplinar.

En esta investigación se abordan las categorías condiciones de trabajo y calidad de vida del profesional de la enfermería en las UCIN de la ciudad de Córdoba capital en la provincia de Córdoba. Para dicho propósito, se llevó a cabo una investigación del tipo descriptiva y correlacional, en el que se encuestó a un total de 147 profesionales de enfermería de tres hospitales distintos del lugar, a los que se administraron dos instrumentos donde se relevaron condiciones laborales y calidad de vida de dichos profesionales. Los resultados indican que, con relación a las condiciones laborales, se sigue desarrollando un perfil fuertemente precarizado, con horarios muy demandantes y mala paga con relación a todas las actividades que desempeñan. Con relación a la calidad de vida, se observa una puntuación en el mejor de los casos media en todas las dimensiones, reforzando la crítica ya señalada a las inadecuadas condiciones laborales en que se desempeñan los profesionales capacitados.
