Paradigm Shift in Architectural Pedagogy incorporating Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Agarwal Dr. Mohit Kumar
Published: April 2024

Abstract: The paradigm shift in architectural pedagogy encompasses various facets, each contributing to a holistic transformation of the educational landscape. From computational design methodologies to generative algorithms, AI empowers students to explore a vast array of design possibilities, pushing the boundaries of creativity and problem-solving. The goal of this study is to understand the paradigm shifts in the constantly changing fields of architectural education with the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI). This change transforms architectural teaching fundamentally in addition to redefining architectural practice approaches. Now that we are at the crossroads of technology innovation and human creativity, it is critical to investigate how artificial intelligence (AI) might transform architecture education and promote creativity, sustainability, and adaptation. The primary exploration reveals a significant gap in the current teaching methods, with little emphasis on AI. The study emphasizes the urgency of incorporating certain approaches into architectural education along with AI which would enhance learning experience of the students.
ESTRESSE OCUPACIONAL EM PERÍODO PANDÊMICO E AS RELAÇÕES EXISTENTES COM OS ACIDENTES LABORAIS: ESTUDO DE CASO EM UMA INDÚSTRIA ALIMENTÍCIA
Authors: Lima Lucas , Lourenço Domingues Júnior Paulo , Lima da Silva Laura
Published: April 2024

Objetivo: analisar as relações existentes entre o estresse ocupacional e os acidentes laborais no setor produtivo de uma indústria alimentícia do município de Três Rios/RJ, durante o panorama pandêmico.
Método/abordagem: a pesquisa caracterizou-se como do tipo exploratória de abordagem qualitativa. Para a coleta de dados, foi realizado um estudo de caso em uma indústria alimentícia do município de Três Rios/RJ. A coleta de dados envolveu a aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas com quinze operários. Os dados foram analisados por meio do método da análise do discurso.
Principais Resultados: os principais fatores estressores foram atrelados aos aspectos organizacionais e interpessoais existentes na indústria. Como consequência, tais fatores estressores contribuíram para a geração de acidentes físicos no trabalho, onde verificou-se a ocorrência de pequenos cortes e queimaduras sobre os operários, sobretudo entre os indivíduos mais velhos e com maior tempo de experiência no setor. Observou-se, nesse caso, que a pandemia de Covid-19 potencializou a recorrência de estresse e acidentes laborais, pois, devido ao afastamento dos infectados pelo novo coronavírus, iniciou-se uma sobrecarga de trabalho sobre os indivíduos que ficaram no setor para atender à demanda de produção.
Contribuições teóricas/práticas/sociais: este estudo contribui com a literatura ao fornecer subsídios teóricos sobre as relações existentes entre estresse ocupacional e acidentes no trabalho. Em termos gerenciais, o estudo propicia um diagnóstico dos riscos que afetam a integridade física e mental de operários, subsidiando assim os gestores na tomada de decisão em prol de melhorias no contexto laboral destes trabalhadores.
Originalidade/relevância: o estudo mostra-se relevante ao abordar, de forma associada, as relações existentes entre estresse ocupacional e acidentes no trabalho em um período recente e sem precedentes na história da humanidade, que é a pandemia de COVID-19.

Published: April 2024

Introducción: las investigaciones en salud mental de la población pediátrica en Colombia son escasas, aun cuando se han reportado impactos importantes relacionados con el COVID-19. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo describir y comparar las alteraciones en la salud mental en la población pediátrica diagnosticada con COVID-19 y sin este diagnóstico, en Caldas, Colombia.
Materiales y métodos: el estudio se desarrolló en niños y niñas que fueron diagnosticados con COVID-19 desde marzo del año 2020 hasta marzo del año 2021. Para esto se aplicó el Reporting Questionnaire for Children (RQC) por medio de entrevistas telefónicas, de las cuales 89 fueron incluidas en la investigación.
Resultados: en la muestra total se encontró que el síntoma más frecuente fue asustarse o ponerse nervioso sin razón (35?%), seguido de los problemas del lenguaje (30?%) y los problemas de sueño (29?%).
Discusión: aunque la mayoría de estudios afirma que la salud mental pediátrica se vio afectada durante la pandemia, pocas veces se relaciona con las implicaciones directas de la infección. El presente estudio señala que los niños diagnosticados con COVID-19 tuvieron mayores dificultades en su salud mental.
Conclusiones: tanto las medidas para evitar la propagación del COVID-19 como la enfermedad sistémica que causa el virus, afectaron negativamente la salud mental de la población pediátrica estudiada.
Institutional Regulation of the CIS Observer Mission in Election Campaigns and Coverage of Its Activities in the Media
Authors: Malinina S. A.
Published: April 2024

This study is aimed at studying the institutional, organizational and legal problems of interaction between the media and international observers during elections and referendums in the member states of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The issue of countering foreign interference in the electoral process was not considered in the work.

Aim. Eliminate methodological problems in defining the content of the term “international observation”, and proving the need to institutionalize the process of covering the activities of international observers in the media.

Tasks. Identify the necessary areas of media activity when covering the activities of international observers during elections and referendums.

Methods. The state of the modern election monitoring environment indicates the existence of a fine line between the need to ensure openness of electoral processes and the inadmissibility of interference in the internal affairs of states. It is necessary to identify restrictive thresholds for the activities of the media when covering the processes of international observation of elections and referendums and their institutionalization in relevant advisory documents based on the presumed impartiality of both international observers and the media.

Results. The study showed that the most important task of the process of legitimizing the electoral process is to ensure its full coverage of the activities of all its subjects in the media. International monitoring media coverage should cover a wide range of issues throughout the entire electoral process from start to finish, including; activities of observers during the official election campaign before the start of voting; on election day and during the vote counting process; in the period after the elections from the moment the official results are announced until the formation of new authorities. At the same time, at all stages, coverage should cover a wide range of issues of the essence of the electoral process and its management; legal regulation of elections and referendums and existing institutional structures to support the process.

Conclusions. Media coverage of the activities of international observers should be considered not only as one of the most important modes of political communication, but also as a means of countering selective absenteeism. Objective and impartial coverage of the activities of international observers in the media can undoubtedly contribute to both the internal political mobilization of the population and the international recognition of the state.

Educação Matemática Problematizadora na perspectiva freiriana
Authors: Oliveira Sandra Alves de , Carneiro Reginaldo Fernando
Published: April 2024

Este artigo, recorte de uma pesquisa de Doutorado em Educação, tem como objetivo discutir os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos e epistemológicos da Educação Matemática Problematizadora nas políticas e práticas de currículos no contexto da formação docente e da práxis pedagógica, tendo em vista as contribuições da pedagogia crítica de Paulo Freire, a partir de reflexões teóricas da Revisão Sistemática de Literatura (RSL), pautadas em referências nacionais e internacionais. Destarte, para fundamentar teoricamente o tema investigado, recorreu-se à RSL nas bases de dados: Portal de Periódicos Capes, SciELO, Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, Google Acadêmico, Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes) e a Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD), considerando os protocolos específicos da revisão. As buscas consistentes e rigorosas nessas bases de dados contribuíram para constatar que não há nenhuma pesquisa na área de Educação Matemática que discute os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos e epistemológicos da Educação Matemática Problematizadora. Há evidências de sua importância e concretização nas produções científicas compartilhadas neste estudo. A Educação Matemática Problematizadora precisa ser inserida nas políticas e práticas curriculares, para possibilitar aos sujeitos dialógicos pensar criticamente os temas geradores investigativos experienciados em práticas matemáticas cotidianas; perguntar nos processos de ensino-aprendizagem da matemática para compreender conceitos e conteúdos escolares articulados com suas experiências; formular situações-problema; dinamizar a práxis pedagógica através de (re)invenções criativas com alegria e amorosidade; avaliar e narrar dialogicamente as experiências formadoras nos espaços formativos da universidade e da escola básica.
Diferentes sentidos para tempo em discursos pela alfabetização
Authors: Souza Bárbara Rocha , Lopes Alice Casimiro
Published: April 2024

Este artigo se debruça sobre diferentes discursos que, disseminados por intermédio de produções de pesquisadores, em sites de instituições filantrópicas e de programas educacionais, em um intervalo de dez anos (2012–2022), vêm produzindo efeitos e constrangimentos nas políticas curriculares, especialmente, para a alfabetização (Brasil, 2012; Brasil, 2018; Brasil, 2019). Sustentado pela argumentação, segundo o aporte pós-estrutural, de ser impossível uma leitura literal, única, homogênea de qualquer texto, em razão da quebra da relação necessária entre o significante e o significado, é discutido o que tem sido produzido sobre esse nome, tempo, em diferentes áreas do conhecimento. Ademais, é abordada a maneira como a escola e o currículo, de maneira provisória e precária, incorporam essas marcações no espaço da educação. A partir da condição de vagueza desta significação e da incessante produção de sentidos atinente ao diferir, o estudo aponta os múltiplos sentidos que esse nome articula, acenando para marcações que expressam uma idade certa, um método para alfabetizar e uma dada formação docente, suposta como capaz de garantir a consolidação da alfabetização em um intervalo temporal previamente estabelecido.

Published: April 2024

Objective: To understand the profile of genetic counseling (GC)
and genetic testing (GT) in gynecologic oncology, identify deficiencies
in GC competencies and barriers to incorporating GC into routine
practice in China. Design: A cross-sectional study.
Setting: A national sample of Chinese gynecologic oncology
physicians. Population or Sample: Chinese gynecologic oncology
physicians who were involved in managing patients with gynecologic
oncology GC. Methods: Physicians were contacted via the
membership of China Network of Ob and Gyn Institutions and Gynecologic
Oncology Genetic Counseling Working Group, and required to fill in
questionnaires via email and Wechat group notifications. Main
Outcome Measures: Most respondents did not indicate a good knowledge of
hereditary gynecological oncology, GC practice, as well as a good
performance in clinical practice. Results: Regression analysis
highlighted significant predictors of greater clinical practice of
gynecologic oncology GC among physicians with medical degrees, a better
understanding of gynecologic oncology and a better understanding of GC.
Furthermore, nearly all gynecological oncologists exhibited a positive
attitude towards GC, and generally agreed that the domestic GC education
and training system needed to be strengthened. Conclusions: We
believe the findings can offer key lessons for the development of
medical genetics in China and also further LMICs where medical genetics
is poorly incorporated into daily practice. Actions to ensure quality of
care, equity, and universal coverage of GC for people in need should be
taken.
Progressive Harmonic Compensation of Power System using Shunt Active Power Filter
Authors: Gopalapillai Anu , M Francis Fernandez
Published: April 2024

Harmonic pollution has a major detrimental effect on the power quality
of low voltage distribution networks as a result of the proliferation of
non-linear loads. The filter injects compensating current equal to the
harmonic current needed by non-linear loads at the point of common
coupling. Progressive harmonic compensation can be achieved by using
shunt active filters at the metering point of each non-linear consumer.
This paper proposes a modification in the control scheme of filter based
on resistive load synthesis approach. The analysis of the proposed
method is carried out in MATLAB Simulink. The control algorithm is used
to calculate the filter current by identifying the harmonic current
contribution of source at each consumer location. The efficiency of the
suggested method in enhancing power quality of system is validated by
real time simulation using OPAL-RT.
The enhancement effect of social interaction on emotional contagion: an EEG-based hyperscanning study
Authors: Wang Hui , Gao Xiaolan , Xu Chuyan , Chen Wenfeng
Published: April 2024

Emotional contagion refers to the tendency for individuals to replicate
the emotional states of others primarily within the context of social
interactions. Prior research has focused on real-time emotional
contagion during interpersonal communication. However, this study
proposed that social interaction experiences might also play a role in
promoting emotional contagion. To investigate this issue, the present
study divided participants into the interactive group and the control
group and conducted EEG-based hyperscanning to investigate the impact of
interpersonal interaction experience on emotional contagion. Behavioral
results indicated that individuals reported a greater psychological
closeness to their partners after experiencing interaction.
Additionally, the interactive group showed stronger emotional congruence
between observers and senders. EEG results further demonstrated that
inter-brain synchrony in the emotional contagion phase among the
observer and sender of the interactive group was significantly higher
than that of the control group, particularly in the negative emotions.
This research suggests that social interaction experience may affect
emotional contagion by altering the interpersonal states. It also adds
to our understanding of how social interactions can shape our emotional
experiences and emphasizes that interpersonal experiences might be a key
factor in promoting emotional contagion.
Retrospective study: Laser excision versus combined laser, cryotherapy and intralesional 5-fluorouracil in the treatment of equine sarcoids.
Authors: Offer Katie , Sutton David
Published: April 2024

Background Laser excision is used routinely in the treatment of
sarcoids but may be ineffective in cases where complete excision cannot
be achieved. A multimodal approach is warranted in these cases. 5-FU may
improve the lethal effect of cryotherapy as an adjunct to laser
excision. Objectives To compare two treatment protocols for
equine sarcoids: laser excision alone versus a combination protocol of
laser excision, cryotherapy, and 5-FU chemotherapy. Factors associated
with sarcoid recurrence are also investigated. Study Design
Retrospective case controlled study. Results Eighty-four horses
with 168 histologically confirmed sarcoids were included, with a median
follow up time of 39 months (IQR 21-62 months). Sarcoid recurrence at
the treated site was reported in 38% of cases and in 23% of any
individual sarcoids. No significant difference was demonstrated between
treatment categories in either rate of sarcoid recurrence (p=0.45 for
any treated horse, p=0.63 for individual sarcoids) or time to sarcoid
recurrence (p=0.73). Sarcoid recurrence was higher in horses with a
greater number of sarcoids (OR 1.2 (1.0-1.5), p=0.03); when treatment
had been received prior to admission (OR 7.6 (2.0-33), p=0.004); for
individual sarcoids ≥100mm in diameter (OR 5.6 (1.1-30), p=0.03); and
for treatment under general anaesthesia (OR 5.0 (1.4-19), p=0.01).
Horses with urogenital sarcoids and >1 mixed sarcoid
experienced more rapid recurrence (HR 3.6 (1.3-10), p=0.02 and HR 9.9
(3.3-30), p<0.001) and recurrence was less rapid following the
treatment of a horse’s first sarcoid (HR 0.3 (0.1-0.7), p=0.009).
Main Limitations Significant differences in case populations in
each treatment category. Treatment selection was neither blinded nor
randomised and missing data and recall bias limit the study’s power.
Sarcoid recurrence was owner reported. Conclusions When assessing
the likelihood of sarcoid recurrence, characteristics of the individual
patient and sarcoid(s) are likely to be more significant than selection
of any individual treatment protocol.
A New Strategy for Insight into the Dynamic Oxygen Migration in Metal Oxides
Authors: Zhang Zeshu , Bao FeiPeng , Han Xinyu , Liu Kaijie , Sun LiWei , Rao Cheng , Zhang Yibo , Yang Xiangguang
Published: April 2024

Oxygen migration in solid oxides affects material properties; however, a
rigorous conceptual framework to quantify this dynamic process has been
lacking. Herein, a dynamic oxygen migration-release model was developed
using the differential element approach. This model revealed that the
oxygen release rate of metal oxides decreases exponentially with the
amount of released oxygen. And the migration processes of bulk oxygen
and surface oxygen reactions were differentiated, and the energy
barriers were determined. CeO with various
morphologies was used as a case study, showing differences in energy
barriers between crystal facets. The adaptability of such an oxygen
migration-release model can be expanded to other metal oxides, like
ceria-zirconia solid solution, manganese oxide and iron oxide,
increasing its potential universality. The oxygen migration-release law
that has been found provides a theoretical foundation for the
optimization methods of functional metal oxide materials, facilitating
the assessment of oxygen reactivity within metal oxides.
Optimality conditions and duality results for generalized-Hukuhara subdifferentiable preinvex vector interval optimization problems
Authors: Peng Zaiyun , Peng Jian-Yi , Li Dan , Zhao Yong
Published: April 2024

In this paper, a class of preinvex vector interval optimization problems
(VIOP) with gH-subdifferential is considered, and the optimality
conditions and dual results are gained. Firstly, the definition of
subgradient for preinvex interval valued function under
gH-difference is given, and examples are given to verify the
difference between the subgradient in this paper and the subgradient
in[28]. Secondly, by means of gH-subdifferential, the
Karush-Kuhn-Tucker sufficient and necessary conditions for preinvex
(VIOP) are studied. Then, the Mond-Weir dual problem and Wolfe dual
problem of preinvex (VIOP) are established, furthermore, weak duality,
strong duality, and converse duality theorems are obtained by using the
gH-subdifferential. Some examples are given to illustrate the
main results. To some extent, the main results generalize the existing
relevant results.

Published: April 2024

The study addresses the necessity for precise path loss prediction in
wireless communication design, advocating for data-driven methodologies
over conventional models, particularly in the context of dynamic signal
variations in advanced 5G technologies. Employing a robust data-driven
model based on neural network architecture, the research explores vital
parameters to train a multi-layered neural network. Correlation analyses
highlight significant associations, emphasizing the impact of
environmental conditions and path characteristics on path loss. The
proposed model, trained over 150 epochs with three layers, demonstrates
superior performance in Mean Absolute Error, Mean Squared Error, and
Root Mean Squared Error compared to traditional models. Specifically, it
outperforms Okumura-Hata, Costa 231, and Egli models with notable
accuracy metrics. Leveraging TensorFlow and Python, the study advances
our understanding of parameter-path loss relationships in 5G wireless
communication, offering insights for optimized network design and
resource allocation. The research pioneers a simulation-based approach
using neural networks for path loss prediction, showcasing heightened
accuracy and reduced estimation errors. Future directions include
exploring advanced machine learning algorithms and assessing the
influence of technologies like 5G on path loss prediction.
Lagrangian versus Eulerian spectral estimates of surface kinetic energy over the global ocean
Authors: Xinwen Zhang , Yu Xiaolong , Ponte Aurélien L , Caspar-Cohen Zoé , Gentil Sylvie Le , Wang Lu , Gong Wenping
Published: April 2024

In this study, we carried out a novel massive Lagrangian simulation
experiment derived from a global 1/48° tide-resolving numerical
simulation of the ocean circulation. This first-time twin experiment
enables a comparison between Eulerian (fixed-point) and Lagrangian
(along-flow) estimates of kinetic energy (KE), and the quantification of
systematic differences between both types of estimations. This
comparison represents an important step forward for the mapping of upper
ocean high-frequency variability from drifter database. Eulerian KE
rotary frequency spectra and band-integrated energy levels (e.g., tidal
and near-inertial) are considered as references, and compared to
Lagrangian estimates. Our analysis reveals that, apart from the
near-inertial band, Lagrangian spectra are systematically smoother,
e.g., with wider and lower spectral peaks compared to Eulerian
counterparts. Consequently, Lagrangian KE levels obtained from spectra
band integrations tend to underestimate Eulerian levels on average at
low-frequency and tidal bands. This underestimation is more significant
in regions characterized by large low-frequency KE. In contrast,
Lagrangian and Eulerian near-inertial spectra and energy levels are
comparable. Further, better agreements between Lagrangian and Eulerian
KE levels are generally found in regions of convergent surface
circulation, where Lagrangian particles tend to accumulate. Our results
demonstrate that Lagrangian estimates may provide a distorted view of
high-frequency variance. To accurately map near-surface velocity
climatology at high frequencies (e.g., tidal and near-inertial) from
Lagrangian observations of the Global Drifter Program, conversion
methods accounting for the Lagrangian bias need to be developed.
Misaligned Wind-Waves Behind Atmospheric Cold Fronts
Authors: Sauvage Cesar , Seo Hyodae , Barr Benajmin W. , Edson James B , Clayson Carol Anne
Published: April 2024

Atmospheric fronts embedded in extratropical cyclones are high-impact
weather phenomena, contributing significantly to midlatitude winter
precipitation. The three vital characteristics of the atmospheric
fronts, high wind speeds, abrupt change in wind direction, and rapid
translation, force the induced surface waves to be misaligned with winds
exclusively behind the cold fronts. The effects of the misaligned waves
on air-sea fluxes remain undocumented. Using the multi-year in situ
near-surface observations and direct covariance flux measurements from
the Pioneer Array off the coast of New England, we find that the
majority of the passing cold fronts generate misaligned waves behind the
cold front. Once generated, the waves remain misaligned, on average, for
about 8 hours. The fully-coupled model simulations indicate that the
misaligned waves significantly increase wave roughness length (300%),
drag coefficient (30%), and momentum flux (20%). The increased surface
drag reduces the wind speeds in the surface layer. The upward turbulent
heat flux is weakly decreased by the misaligned waves because of the
compensating effect between the decrease in temperature and humidity
scaling parameters and the increase in friction velocity. The misaligned
wave effect is not accurately represented in a commonly used wave-based
bulk flux algorithm. Yet, the suggested modification to the current
formulation improves the overall accuracy of parameterized momentum flux
estimates. The results imply that better representing a directional
wind-wave coupling in the bulk formula of the numerical models may help
improve the air-sea interaction simulations under the passing
atmospheric fronts in the midlatitudes.
Post-eruption precipitation anomalies are dominated by internal variability, not volcanic aerosol impacts
Authors: McGraw Zachary , Polvani Lorenzo M
Published: April 2024

Aerosols from large volcanic eruptions are purported to cause
significant global precipitation changes lasting up to several years. We
here show that eruptions with very large stratospheric sulfur injections
are, in fact, too weak to substantially alter precipitation at most land
locations. Analyzing two climate model ensembles, we demonstrate that
internal variability is the main driver of interannual precipitation
anomalies even in the aftermath of the largest tropical eruptions of the
last millennium. Further, observations show that post-eruption
precipitation anomalies in post-eruption years are indistinguishable
from anomalies in non-volcanic years. Reports of statistically
significant post-eruption precipitation anomalies have relied on metrics
that remove internal variability in order to inflate the volcanic
signal. Such metrics are not suitable to assess the importance of
volcanic eruptions on local-scale precipitation.
Quality of service attributes based hybrid decision-making framework for ranking cloud service providers under Fermatean fuzzy environment
Authors: Al-Mashhadani Athraa , Salman Muna , Al-Yasiri Fatimah
Published: April 2024

Cloud Computing has gained substantial popularity due to its ability to offer
diverse and dependable computing services suited to clients demands. Given
the rapid expansion of this technology, an increasing number of IT service
providers are competing to deliver cloud services that are both of excellent
quality and cost-efficient, in order to best meet the requirements of their
clients. With the extensive range of options available, selecting the best
Cloud Service Provider (CSP) has become a challenging dilemma for the
majority of cloud clients. When evaluating services offered by many CSPs, it
is important to consider multiple attributes. Efficiently addressing the
selection of the best CSP involves tackling a challenging Multi-Attribute
Decision Making (MADM) problem. Several MADM techniques have been proposed in
academic literature for evaluating CSPs. However, the persisting problems of
inconsistency, uncertainty, and rank reversal remain unresolved. In this
paper the authors present a hybrid MADM framework to rank eight CSPs using
nine Quality of Service (QoS) attributes. In order to achieve this objective,
Fermatean fuzzy sets-full consistency method (FFS-FUCOM) is combined with
Grey-Relational-Analysis and the
Technique-for-Order-Preference-by-Similarity-to-Ideal-Solution (Grey-TOPSIS)
technique. The framework successfully resolved the aforementioned problems.
Sensitivity analysis is conducted to assess the stability and robustness of
the results produced by the proposed framework. The sensitivity analysis
results indicate that the proposed framework offers an accurate and robust
solution. A systematic ranking test is undertaken to ensure that the results
are ranked in a systematic manner. Additionally, a comparative analysis is
carried out with the most relevant study.
Actividad significativa: el cofre motor, cuando el tesoro es movimiento
Authors: Corso Amado Camilo Ernesto , Carreño Parra Lina Maria , Vega García Maria Camila , Basto Rojas Juan Pablo , Ariza Moreno Dayana Valentina
Published: April 2024

La práctica regular de actividad física (AF) ha demostrado que trae múltiples beneficios sobre la salud, mientras que el permanecer un prolongado tiempo en sedentario conlleva efectos deletéreos sobre el organismo. En Colombia la Encuesta Nacional de Situación Nutricional 2015, permitió por medio de los indicadores evidenciar que solo cerca de la mitad de jóvenes y adultos (18 – 65 años de edad) cumplen con las recomendaciones internacionales de AF. Aunque a nivel nacional no se cuenta con datos sobre los niveles de actividad física en la población con discapacidad intelectual, en contraste, existen datos internacionales demuestran que su participación es mucho más baja en comparación a la población general. Por lo tanto, se hace necesario identificar estrategias costo-efectivas que permitan aumentar los niveles de AF en esta población.
Resultados en la caracterización de la tasa de repetición de imágenes radiográficas convencionales en un hospital pediátrico
Authors: Niño Torres Carlos Fernando , Martínez Polo Gloria Marissa
Published: April 2024

Hablar de radiología convencional es referirse a imágenes diagnósticas obtenidas mediante radiación ionizante que pueden visualizarse en películas radiográficas o en pantallas de alta resolución.  Estas deben cumplir con altos estándares de calidad radiográfica para que el médico radiólogo haga un diagnóstico oportuno y certero. En pacientes pediátricos, al adquirir imágenes, es indispensable observar mayor rigurosidad con el propósito de evitar repetir algún estudio, ya que dicha población es más sensible a la radiación ionizante por tener mayor cantidad de células inmaduras y proliferantes, además por su edad tienen posibilidad de presentar efectos tardíos a lo largo de su vida. Por eso la protección radiológica es importante en esta población y la repetición de imágenes radiográficas debe ser revisada cuidadosamente para evitar daños irreparables. 
El propósito de esta investigación fue caracterizar las causales de repetición de imágenes radiográficas tomadas a pacientes pediátricos en una Institución Prestadora de Salud en Bogotá, por medio de un análisis pormenorizado de las causas que originan repetición. En un servicio de radiología que procura prestar servicios de salud con garantía de calidad es necesario tener en cuenta que su finalidad es producir imágenes radiográficas de óptima calidad sin afectar innecesariamente al paciente y al menor costo posible. Por lo anterior, es importante mencionar que, en la implementación del programa de garantía de calidad en radiodiagnóstico, es imprescindible comenzar con la evaluación de imágenes radiográficas que se repiten por no contar con calidad necesaria para el diagnóstico, estableciendo pormenorizadamente sus causas y porcentajes de estas.

Resultados y Discusión: En 2020, un considerable número de personas mayores de 60 años en Colombia carecía de acceso a pensiones de vejez, siendo Colpensiones la entidad preferida. La simulación reveló que la mayoría de los pensionados obtienen su pensión debido a la vejez, y la probabilidad de que entidades distintas a Colpensiones tengan un alto númerode pensionados es baja. Esta preferencia generaba aumentos en los costos estatales, financiados principalmente con impuestos, resaltando desafíos financieros asociados al sistema de pensiones colombiano. Conclusiones: La simulación Monte Carlo proporcionó una visión detallada, destacando la prevalencia de pensiones por vejez y los retos financieros derivados de las preferencias de los pensionados. Estos hallazgos subrayan la importancia de abordar estratégicamente la distribución de pensiones y los costos asociados para fortalecer el sistema de pensiones en Colombia.

Se hace énfasis en el marco de referencia de la Formación Profesional Integral y la Educación Interprofesional en tiempos de Pandemia, priorizando las formas en cómo se asumen y operativizan los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Se resalta también cómo algunos de sus postulados teóricos pueden combinarse y complementarse, al tiempo que contribuyen y favo­recen la organización, planificación y orientación de nuevas y mejores experiencias educativas. Si bien la Formación Profe­sional Integral (FPI) situada en el marco institucional SENA y la Educación Interprofesional (EIP) poseen sus propios fines y centros de interés también presentan aspectos comunes. Objetivo: Presentar en una visión de conjunto las bases teóricas y conceptuales que sustentan los enfoques de la Formación Profesional Integral, situada en el marco institucional SENA, y la Educación Interprofesional en salud en tiempos de Pandemia. Metodología: se realizó un estudio cualitativo, descriptivo documental. Muestra: Publicaciones sobre Educación Interprofesional abril 2020 a abril 2022; publicaciones sobre Formación Profesional Integral 1994 a 2019, recopiladas en una matriz de soporte científico para su análisis. Conclusiones: La Educa­ción Interprofesional fortalece el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje-evaluación de la Formación Profesional Integral a partir del trabajo colaborativo promoviendo la adquisición de conocimiento, desarrollo de habilidades y destrezas en el marco de las competencias específicas, transversales e interprofesionales en contextos reales de aprendizaje con la participación de equipos interprofesionales, reflejándose en el aprendizaje significativo y sin duda en una sinergia importante del proceso de la Formación Profesional Integral y la Educación Interprofesional.

Published: April 2024

El ángulo de fase se comporta como un indicador nutricional, como un indicador de salud y se utiliza para monitorear la fun­ción de las membranas celulares. Objetivo: Determinar la relación existente entre el ángulo de fase y diferentes marcadores biológicos para establecer el riesgo para la salud en edades tempranas. Materiales y métodos: Se evaluaron 57 hombres aparentemente sanos, se aplicó prueba de bioimpedancia con el equipo Inbody S10®, prueba de potencia de piernas con la prueba salto horizontal a pies juntos. El análisis estadístico se realizó con el Software Jamovi 2.2.5 Solid®. Resultados: Se reportaron en estadísticos descriptivos de los componentes biológicos, morfológicos y funcionales, las pruebas de correlación de Pearson, se aplicaron entre los mismos grupos de variables frente al ángulo de fase como variable dependiente. Se deter­minó una regresión lineal para las variables que presentan correlaciones moderadas o altas y una ANNOVA. Conclusiones: Se encontró correlación entre el ángulo de fase y la masa muscular, frente a las demás variables, el nivel de correlación no fue muy alto o significativo. Se confirma la importancia del desarrollo muscular en la población frente a parámetros de salud aún en edades tempranas. Discusión: Se encuentra normalidad entre los componentes morfológicos. Sin embargo, se evidencia la diferencia entre el porcentaje graso y la masa muscular con referencia al ángulo de fase.
