Las escuelas rurales en Argentina (1905-1960). Una mirada panorámica
Authors: Herrero Alejandro Ramón
Published: February 2023

El estudio de la historia de la educación ha sido descuidado en la historiografía Argentina. En estas dos últimas décadas se han multiplicado las investigaciones, sin embargo, poco sabemos sobre las escuelas rurales. En este artículo indago fuentes oficiales del Consejo Nacional de Educación, con el objeto de analizar cuáles fueron los diagnósticos y los problemas que señalaron sobre las sedes escolares de la campaña y que respuestas produjeron. Mi hipótesis es que aún en 1960 los objetivos exigidos en las leyes de educación para las zonas rurales están lejos de cumplirse, y el analfabetismo sigue siendo un drama sin solución. Se trata de una indagación panorámica y exploratoria.
Helena Antipoff e a educação social na Rússia após a revolução dos bolcheviques
Authors: Campos Regina Helena de Freitas , Farnese Sérgio Faleiro
Published: February 2023

O artigo “L’expérience russe – L’éducation sociale des enfants” (Antipoff, 1924), reproduzido a seguir, foi escrito pela psicóloga e educadora russo-brasileira Helena Antipoff (1892-1974) e publicado na revista La Semaine Littéraire , em Genebra, em 1924. Trata-se de documento expressivo, original, uma espécie de documento-monumento, no sentido proposto por Zumthor (1960), peça histórica única, testemunho de uma época e de ações humanas empreendidas em um determinado contexto com sentido propositivo, destinado a se tornar um clássico para a posteridade. A narrativa é constituída por um relato de primeira mão sobre o projeto de educação social formulado na Rússia pelos bolcheviques nos primeiros anos após a revolução comunista de 1917 e seus desdobramentos, observados na aplicação prática dos princípios idealizados. Resulta de observação da autora como participante direta de instituições encarregadas de colocar em operação propostas educativas decorrentes das políticas implantadas no território russo naquele período conturbado, de grande instabilidade social. Período marcado também pelas tentativas nem sempre bem sucedidas de realizar os ideais revolucionários inspirados na crítica ao capitalismo formulada por Karl Marx e interpretada pela primeira geração de líderes bolcheviques.
A Escola Normal Heitor Lira e a democratização da educação nos subúrbios da capital do Brasil, 1950 e 1960
Authors: Lima Fábio Souza Correa
Published: February 2023

O presente artigo recupera a história da Escola Normal Heitor Lira. Especificamente, também apresenta como objetivo abordar as ações políticas dentro do campo educacional que resultaram no aumento do número de escolas normais nos subúrbios da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, à época Distrito Federal e depois, estado da Guanabara, entre as décadas de 1950 e 1960. Essa unidade, cujo nome homenageia o criador da Associação Brasileira de Educação, apresenta especial importância por figurar como exemplo de como as políticas públicas poderiam ou não atender aos anseios das famílias suburbanas da região por mais educação. No desenvolvimento da pesquisa, utilizamos o conceito de campo e a metodologia de análise de periódicos. O estudo concluiu que a expansão das unidades de formação de professores foi pautada por interesses pessoais e político-partidários, deixando os ideais de escola pública, gratuita e de qualidade em segundo plano.

Authors: Oliveira Elton Rodrigues de , Ribeiro Priscilla Cristina Cabral , Méxas Mirian Picinini , Oliveira Saulo Barbará de
Published: February 2023

Goal: Assess the Agile Methodology Scrum in a software development project at Federal universities in the Southeast Brazil.
Design / Methodology / Approach: The method in this paper is multiple case studies and a qualitative approach. The data collection was performed using a questionnaire with open and closed questions based on the constructs of the literature review. Six Federal universities were selected in two states in the Southeast Region, based on previous contacts with institutions, and the analysis unit was the Information of Technology Centers or the Superintendent of Information Technology.
Results: It was noticed a low level of maturity in the use of agile methods in a great part of the universities and a high turnover of the team components, due to the scholarship students who participated in the research. In the open questions, it was noticed a very strong relationship between a set of subattributes: improvement in response time, cost and time reduction, increased of equipment performance and increase in added value. In the closed questions, it was noticed that Scrum had a better performance in the following sub-attribute samples: communication, collaboration, productivity, and time reduction.
Limitations of the investigation: The number of interviewers in the universities, to provide deeper analysis for the case studies.
Practical implications: The subattributes can be indicators to measure the performance of Scrum in corporations.
Originality/Value: While previous studies focus on the application in large companies and in classes of Graduation Programs at universities, this paper focuses on administrative operations in the universities.

Authors: Malik Zahid Amin , Kumar Rakesh , Pathak Govind , Roy Haridas , Malik Mohd Azhar-Ud-Din
Published: February 2023

Goal: The present study aimed to demonstrate the applicability of the fuzzy goal programming to frame the decision support system for the decision-makers to deal with the real-life problem of the agriculture sector namely the apple cultivation planning problem and to obtain an optimum solution.
Design / Methodology / Approach: The proposed method occurred within the apple-producing sector in the Kashmir valley of India and included the collection of data through interviews and surveys with various farmers. Also, the results were drawn with the help of LINGO 18.0.
Results: The current finding implies that all of the desired objectives have been met, as well as an optimal solution. The proposed model offers a significant approach for designing plans to determine various agricultural activities in a fuzzy decision environment. Finally, the current study conducts a case study in the apple cultivation sector to obtain various competing objectives. Sensitivity analysis was also performed on its preferential weight parameters.
Limitations of the investigation: It should be noted that the parameters related to production cost, transportation cost, and cost of material may change over the years. The selling price may also vary according to the quality of apples and over the years. Because of natural factors, the annual production of apples may also vary.
Practical implication: The current study shows that using fuzzy goal programming techniques in an apple production process has a huge potential to increase farmers' income. It can be concluded that the current study can help decision-makers to deal with real-life planning issues in the agricultural sector. Future research can also take advantage of other initiation strategies.
Originality/Value: The study looks at the applicability of the fuzzy goal programming paradigm in a new field of apple production in the agriculture sector. According to our knowledge, this is the first time the optimization model has been used in the apple cultivation sector.

Published: February 2023

Currently, efforts are focused on reducing emissions to support carbon neutrality by 2050 through green technology. Green technology applies to the ship's design, port, engine selection, fuel, and operation. This study modified the hull to reduce drag and improve fuel efficiency. Changes were made based on variations in the deadrise angle, which were analyzed using numerical simulation. In the current situation, the deadrise angle is changed from 9° to 10°, 15°, and 20°. On the angle variation, the effects of changes in ship drag, fuel, and energy efficiency design index were analyzed (EEDI). The method simulates computational fluid dynamics with a Holtrop calculation method validation approach. At 12 and 6 knots above the current deadrise, resistance is reduced by 8.2% and 6.8%, respectively. The fuel efficiency achieved is 6.9% at 6 knots and 8.2% at 12 knots, resulting in monthly fuel savings of 2.43 tonnes. Furthermore, the phenomenon of the EEDI value at the lowest resistance and highest speed has a decreased performance value. Reducing the speed from 12 to 9 knots improves the performance of EEDI by 66%

Sowohl in der Prozess- als auch in der Fertigungsautomatisierung werden Ansätze gesucht, um neue Funktionalitäten effizient in Anlagen zu integrieren. Mit dem Module Type Package auf der einen und Fähigkeitsmodellen auf der anderen Seite nutzen beide Domänen jedoch inkompatible Modelle. In diesem Beitrag werden ein Vergleich der beiden Modellierungsansätze sowie eine automatisierte Transformation vorgestellt. Diese Transformation erlaubt es, Module Type Packages in ein semantisches Fähigkeitsmodell zu konvertieren. Somit werden die bisher inkompatiblen Modelle zusammengeführt und gemeinsam in Produktionsprozessen nutzbar.
Simultaneous Inversion of the Space-Dependent Source Term and the Initial Value in a Time-Fractional Diffusion Equation
Authors: Yu Shuang , Wang Zewen , Yang Hongqi
Published: February 2023

The inverse problem for simultaneously identifying the space-dependent source term and the initial value in a time-fractional diffusion equation is studied in this paper.
The simultaneous inversion is formulated into a system of two operator equations based on the Fourier method to the time-fractional diffusion equation.
Under some suitable assumptions, the conditional stability of simultaneous inversion solutions is established, and the exponential Tikhonov regularization method is proposed to obtain the good approximations of simultaneous inversion solutions.
Then the convergence estimations of inversion solutions are presented for a priori and a posteriori selections of regularization parameters.
Finally, numerical experiments are conducted to illustrate effectiveness of the proposed method.

Published: February 2023

In order to expand the detection range and ensure the operation stability, the substation multi-source perception blind compensation detection method based on equipment visual blind area recognition and significance detection is studied. Acoustic sensors are used to collect acoustic signals from visual blind areas of equipment. The characteristics of noise signal are identified by wavelet analysis and noise reduction. The supercomplex Fourier transform model was used to extract the important region in the device image, and the texture features of the region were detected by Gabor filter. The blind compensation detection feature vector is formed by integrating two multi-source sensing features. The detection model of support vector machine is input to complete the blind compensation detection of the substation. The experimental results show that the proposed method is effective for the sound signal feature recognition in the visual blind area and the texture feature detection in the significant area of the device image. The different operating states of each equipment detected by the multi-source sensing feature vector are more accurate, which can realize the purpose of the multi-source sensing blind compensation check of the substation and ensure the safe and stable operation of the substation.

Authors: Dewi Irene Puspa , Wahyuni Fatma Sri , Aldi Yufri , Ismail Nor Hadiani , Dachriyanus
Published: February 2023

Objectives

The objective of this study is to determine the activity of Garcinia cowa Roxb. n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and butanol fractions as an immunomodulator in vitro and obtain the fraction that has the potential as an immunomodulator.

Methods

Raw 264.7 macrophages were used to asses G. cowa Roxb. immunomodulatory activity. The MTT assay was chosen to measure cell viability to evaluate the cytotoxic effect on cells. ELISA method was used to measure the concentration of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor Necrosis Factor Alpha (TNF-α) secreted by cells after being treated with G. cowa Roxb. fraction. The neutral red uptake assay determined the effect of Garcinia cowa Roxb. on the phagocytic activity.

Results

After Raw 264.7 macrophages were given the Hexan fraction (Hex) at concentrations of 12.5 and 25 μg/mL, there was a decrease in the concentration of IL-6, TNF-α, and the phagocytosis index of cells. Administration of the Ethyl Acetate fraction (EtOAc) at concentrations of 12.5 and 25 μg/mL on cells caused a decrease in IL-6 and TNF-α levels but did not affect the phagocytosis index. There was an increase in the level of TNF-α and the phagocytosis index after being given the Butanol fraction (BuOH) with concentrations of 12.5 and 25 μg/mL but there was a slight decrease in the level of IL-6.

Conclusions

Both Hex and EtOAc fractions could suppress immune responses through decreasing IL-6, TNF-α, and slightly decreased phagocytic activity. BuOH fraction could stimulate immunomodulatory activities through enhanced TNF-α levels and phagocytic index, but less potent in enhancing IL-6 production. The BuOH fraction could be developed as an immunostimulant.

Very High Cycle Fatigue Behavior of Austenitic Stainless Steel in Annealed and Predeformed Condition
Authors: Sarkar Aritra , Klusak Jan , Kozáková Kamila , Christ H.-J.
Published: February 2023

Engineering components in service nowadays are designed for a large number of loading cycles (∼109), which makes fatigue behavior in this cycle range (designated as very high cycle fatigue [VHCF]) a topic of significant interest. The present study aims to investigate the high cycle fatigue (HCF) and VHCF behavior in type 304 stainless steel in two different conditions (annealed and with a martensite volume fraction of ∼45 %) through low cycle fatigue predeformation at a subzero temperature. A fatigue diagram in the form of an S–N curve extending up to the VHCF range is generated, which shows different HCF and VHCF behaviors for the annealed and predeformed conditions. Further tests are carried out at different R ratios to generate constant-life Haigh diagrams for both conditions. Although no failure is observed in the VHCF range under the annealed condition, an internal crack initiation mode is observed under the predeformed condition (Type II behavior), which is attributed to the enhanced notch sensitivity under VHCF cycling induced by a significant extent of strain-induced martensite formed during predeformation. To address the influence of varying load history under service, specimens were prefatigued in HCF, followed by VHCF cycling. The HCF–VHCF boundary is found to be significantly impacted by the prior HCF damage, with lowering of the fatigue limit under VHCF.
A Big Agenda and a Big Question for the New Sentencing Commission
Authors: Berman Douglas A. , Chanenson Steven L.
Published: February 2023

Recent Senate confirmation of President Biden’s nominees to the U.S. Sentencing Commission transformed a long-hobbled agency into a refreshed expert body with a new opportunity to reexamine federal sentencing law and practice. The new Commission has no shortage of large and small issues to tackle in the months and years ahead, and it faces not only a full and substantive agenda, but also a big operational question as it gets to work on its priorities. The Commission has long stressed consensus in developing guideline amendments and related policy work. But now with a full Commission of seven members when only four Commissioner votes are needed to advance guideline amendments and other formal policy decisions, it is possible that some Commissioners may not see a practical reason for the new Commission to always proceed by consensus and to advance only unanimously supported amendments. A new Commission with a new willingness to move forward with amendments and policy initiatives, even in the absence of consensus, could prove to be a much bolder Commission. But is bolder necessarily better, in terms of substantive work products and the ability to advance and implement proposed reforms? Would a U.S. Sentencing Commission acting without consensus be more politically vulnerable in these divided and divisive times?
Fine Tuning the Guidelines—Again
Authors: Whitley Joe D.
Published: February 2023

In Fine Tuning the Guidelines – Again, the author revisits his recommendations on how to fine tune the federal sentencing guidelines that he offered twenty-seven years ago, and explores the ways in which the guidelines, first upheld by the Supreme Court in 1989, have impacted the criminal justice system of today, for better or worse. Tracking its history and development through the years, this article queries whether the original intentions behind the federal sentencing guidelines are still being served by the now-advisory nature of the guidelines. And taking into account the statistical information and data now publicly available, this article explores the disparities in sentencing that exist today and the myriad of potential causes for such results. The same need for justice and equality in sentencing, regardless of factors such as location or race or ethnicity, appears to be as ardent as it was 40 years ago, especially considering that 98.3% of defendants ended up pleading guilty in 2021. Hopefully, armed now with decades more experience and access to data from across the country, the guidelines can again be adjusted further to achieve their original purposes.

Published: February 2023

This descriptive study aimed to analyze the process of communicating adverse events in the hospital context, from the nurses’ perspective. Data was collected in January 2013 in a public hospital in Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. A semi-structured interview was held with 37 nurses, covering guiding questions regarding the communication/recording of adverse events. It was found that communication of adverse events exists in the service, but that cases are under-reported and inadequately analyzed; the nurses were not unanimous in identifying the documents indicated for recording events; and a punitive culture predominates in the situations which generate adverse events, evidenced by reports of practices of reprimanding and punishment of the professionals. It is concluded that encouraging appropriate communication of adverse events in the service is necessary, considering recording as indispensable in the organizational communication process, as this is the source of data for analyzing the occurrence of adverse events and ensures patient safety.
Update on the genetics of paragangliomas
Authors: Gimenez-Roqueplo Anne-Paule , Robledo Mercedes , Dahia Patricia L M
Published: February 2023

Paragangliomas (PGL) of the adrenal (also known as pheochromocytomas) or extra-adrenal neural crest-derived cells are highly heritable tumors, usually driven by single pathogenic variants that occur mutually exclusively in genes involved in multiple cellular processes, including the response to hypoxia, MAPK/ERK signaling, and WNT signaling. The discovery of driver mutations has led to active clinical surveillance with outcome implications in familial PGL. The spectrum of mutations continues to grow and reveal unique mechanisms of tumorigenesis that inform tumor biology and provide the rationale for targeted therapy. Here we review recent progress in the genetics and molecular pathogenesis of PGLs and discuss new prospects for advancing research with new disease models and ongoing clinical trials presented at the recent International Symposium of Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas (ISP2022) held in October 2022 in Prague.

Po wojnie o ujście Wisły. Wojsko kwarcianie w 1630 r. a zagrożenie turecko-tatarskie
Authors: Pabich Łukasz
Published: February 2023

After the end of the war with Sweden over the Vistula Estuary in 1629, the quarter army moved to the Ukrainian lands at the beginning of 1630. At that time, the Poles were afraid of the invasion of the Kantemir’s Republic of Poland, but also of the Turks themselves, led by the Beillerbei from Ochakiv Murtazy Pasha. Poland was by no means prepared for such aggression. In Lviv, heavy negotiations of the military commission with soldiers considering the payment for the Prussian war. What is worse, a Cossack uprising broke out in Ukraine and Hetman Stanisław Koniecpolski moved with the greater part of the army to suppress the rebellion. In addition, there was a confederation in the Polish army, headed by Janusz Wiliński, lieutenant of the Hussar banner, voivode of Bracław, Mikołaj Potocki. Eventually, all disputes were resolved. On the other hand, the growing conflict with the Ottoman Empire could be smoothed out again through diplomatic channels. Aleksander Piaseczyński was sent to Istanbul and he was assured that the peace treaty of 1623 was still in force. On the occasion, five articles were written in which the Polish side. It was stated there to stop the Cossack attacks and pay gifts to the Khan, and the Turks to remove the Nogai Horde from Budziak and ensure the security of the Crown borders by the Khanate.
Konserwatyści galicyjscy wobec kwestii ukraińskiej w okresie rządów namiestnika księcia Eustachego Sanguszki (1895–1898)
Authors: Dudek Tomasz
Published: February 2023

The article presents the policy of the Galician conservatives towards the Ukrainian in the years 1895–1898. During this period, Prince Eustachy Sanguszko was the governor of Galicia. According to an unanimous opinion, he was to be a continuator of Kazimierz Badeni’s political line in the field of Polish-Ukrainian relations. Unfortunately, the governor did not manage to normalize mutual relations. This was due to, on the one hand, the rise in radical sentiment among the Ukrainian society, and on the other hand, the weakening of the political camp ruling the country caused, inter alia, by internal reshuffles. All this meant that instead of easing the mutual opposites, the Polish-Ukrainian conflict began to grow more and more.
Diecezja kamieniecka w 1830 roku w świetle schematyzmu na 1831 rok (1). Schematyzm – edycja źródła

Published: February 2023

Edycja wydanego w 1830 r. schematyzmu diecezji kamienieckiej pozwala poznać stan Kościoła katolickiego na Podolu, szczególnie struktury administracyjnej, przed wybuchem powstania listopadowego. Wystąpienie zbrojne Polaków, o charakterze wyzwoleńczym, stało się pretekstem dla władz rosyjskich do represji wobec katolików obrządku łacińskiego. Przejawem działań antykatolickich i antypolskich była między innymi likwidacja klasztorów i parafii. Oprócz zapoznania się z organizacją diecezji kamienieckiej katalog diecezji dostarcza również wieku informacji na temat kościelnych instytucji centralnych oraz duchowieństwa. Artykuł jest pierwszą częścią tekstu o stanie diecezji kamienieckiej rozpoznanym na podstawie schematyzmu. Zawiera omówienie zachowanych schematyzmów diecezji kamienieckiej z lata 1748-1866 oraz krytyczne wydanie katalogu na rok 1831. W kolejnych numerach pisma zostanie przedstawiona struktura diecezji kamienieckiej z końca 1830 r. oraz pracujące wówczas w diecezji duchowieństwo.
Mazepa, Skoropadski, Połubotok. Proces likwidacji autonomii ukraińskiej za panowania Piotra I
Authors: Krokosz Paweł
Published: February 2023

The article is devoted to the gradual liquidation of the autonomous rights of left-bank Ukraine during the reign of Tsar Peter I (1682–1725). This process began in 1708 when during the ongoing Russo-Swedish War 1700–1721, Zaporizhia hetman Ivan Mazepa “betrayed” the tsar and turned it over to King Charles XII. This action was dictated by the desire of Mazepa’s supporters to shed Russian dependence and an attempt to create an independent (independent) Ukrainian state backed by Sweden and the Republic of Poland. Piotr I agreed to appoint successive hetmans – Ivan Skoropadski and Paweł Połubotka, but over the years he gradually limited their power. In 1722, the hetman’s office was liquidated, and control over the Ukrainian lands, for a short time until 1727, was taken over by the Malorossiya College – the Russian central office. According to Peter I, in the Russian Empire established in 1721, there was no room for any autonomous forms of power that could result in gaining independence. This reform lasted only two years, but it became a determinant for his successors as to how Ukrainian lands should be controlled and finallyabsorbed into Russia.

Towards a better consideration of the interface bonding conditions in the design of bonded concrete overlays

Published: February 2023

This study investigates the effect of the interface bonding conditions between a concrete overlay and the existing hot mix asphalt layer on the design life of bonded concrete overlays. Most of the current design approaches assume a full bonding between the layers and ignore the proposed models in the literature for the description of the interlayer behaviour. A reason for that is that these models are very extensive and require big computation effort. To overcome this limitation, this paper analyses temperature-dependent experimental data, that describes the bond behaviour in normal and tangential direction and involves this data in different 3D finite element (FE) models for the evaluation of the impact of the interface bonding conditions on the pavement response. Further, the effect of applying different interface modelling approaches (full bonding model, friction model and the cohesive zone model (CZM)) in a commercial FE-software on the resulting design life has been demonstrated. One of the most significant findings to emerge from this study is that the implementation of temperature-dependent empirical data to describe the interface bonding conditions leads to more realistic design results.

Published: February 2023

Digitalization and digital transformation of companies have turned from global trends to an urgent need. Thanks to digitalization and digital transformation, organizations can overcome the times of crisis, the times of lockdowns with less losses and respond more effectively to any adverse changes in the external environment. The assessment of the level of digitalization and digital transformation allows to determine how fast the processes of introducing digital technologies and optimizing processes with digital solutions proceed, both in companies and across the industry as a whole. The article provides an analysis with the systematization of foreign and domestic methods, methodological approaches, methods for assessing the digitalization level and digital transformation, as well as reveals their positive and negative aspects. Based on a comparative analysis, an improved author-developed methodological toolkit is proposed for assessing the level of digitalization and digital transformation, alleviating the disadvantages of the existing methodological experience. The approbation of the author-developed methodological toolkit was performed using the oil and gas industry as an example; the following companies, being the industry leaders, were analysed: PJSC “Lukoil”, PJSC “NK “Rosneft”, PJSC “Gazprom”, and PJSC “Tatneft”. According to the results, the digitalization and digital transformation processes of the domestic oil and gas industry are insufficiently dynamic. It was found that in the period from 2016 to 2020, the Russian Federation industry leaders were in the following order from the most advanced to the least advanced in terms of the digitalization level and digital transformation: PJSC “Gazprom” topped the list; PJSC “NK “Rosneft” was second; PJSC “Lukoil” was the third largest company, and PJSC “Tatneft” held the fourth position.

Introduction 

We previously conducted a survey study in April 2020 at the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic to understand how it affected patients with myasthenia gravis (MG). Since then, significant advances have occurred in the following areas: knowledge about the SARS-CoV-2 virus, infection risk mitigation, patient management, risks for MG patients, and a global vaccination program. We conducted a follow-up survey in February 2021 to assess how these advances impacted the care and perception of MG patients.    

Methods 

We conducted a prospective online survey study of MG patients at a large academic practice in the Duke Health System.  

Results 

Seventy-eight patients participated in the survey including 55 from previous survey and 23 newly identified patients. The top reported change in the interaction with healthcare providers was an increase in telemedicine visits (74%). The median satisfaction score (0-100 scale) for telemedicine visits was 74. Ninety-six percent of survey participants expressed concern about pandemic and nearly half of participants showed anxiety based on Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 score. The top 3 concerns related to COVID-19 were getting hospitalized (62%), exacerbation (62%) and death (53%). 

Discussion  

Although the results of follow-up survey were overall similar to the previous study, most of patients switched from in-person clinic visits to telemedicines. The overwhelmingly large portion of patients continue to have concern and anxiety for pandemic but the patients with severe symptoms have higher anxiety scores.

Conclusion  

This follow-up survey demonstrated the adjustment of MG patients to new methods of communication, significant psychological impact of COVID-19 on them and their good healthcare literacy.

Published: February 2023

Este artículo de revisión se basó en el examen de los informes y anexos reportados durante la ejecución del proyecto: “Prestación del servicio de apoyo pedagógico para la inclusión de estudiantes con necesidades educativas especiales de los municipios no certificados de Santander”, el cual fue realizado durante el 2020 con miras a implementar el Decreto 1421 de 2017 (MEN, p. 1) que establece las directrices para la educación inclusiva. Así pues, el artículo busca identificar los hallazgos para la implementación de la educación inclusiva en entornos virtuales. Se empleó entonces una metodología cualitativa, apoyada en la observación y la revisión documental, signada por muestras diversas o de máxima variación (Álvarez, 2008; Hernández, Fernández y Baptista, 2014). Se identificaron, además, las situaciones expuestas dentro de los documentos anexos, ya que estas se han convertido en reto para los docentes y padres de familia en el desarrollo de las labores académicas y laborales durante la pandemia.
