Published: November 2022

With 22 taxa reported from the country so far, Epipactis is the most species-rich orchid genus in Hungary. Many of them are rare, threatened species. To protect endangered species effectively, it is crucial to explore their ecology. Our work aimed to select and examine factors that are influencing the distribution of Epipactis species. Our data collection (2014–2018) was carried out in the Keszthely Hills, in the northeastern part of the Zala Hills and the Southern Bakony Mountains. We assigned ecologically relevant data from databases of local forestries, terrain models and geological maps to each occurrence. We examined the factors that result in the best differentiation between the studied species. At 1,261 localities, a total of 5,223 individuals of 15 taxa were found. We found three factors (tree species composition of the forest, genetic soil type, bedrock type) that significantly influenced the distribution of Epipactis species. Our results can help understand the distribution patterns of these species and allow for more effective, targeted protection of their potential habitats on a regional level.

Authors: Dehghanian M. , Sheidai M.
Published: November 2022

The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is the most important fruit-bearing crop in arid regions of the Middle East and North Africa. About 3,000 date varieties or cultivars are known worldwide that differ in flowering time, several agronomic traits, and fruit-related traits including moisture and sugar content. Phoenix dactylifera is the second most important horticultural crop of Iran that is cultivated mainly in the southern part of the country. It has about 400 known cultivars in Iran and therefore comprises an important part of the whole world date palm genetic resources. We have no detailed information on its population genetic structure. The present study was an attempt to provide the population genetic data on 14 date palm cultivars for the first time. The present study tried to identify genetic diversity of a few cultivars and provide data on their genetic structure with REMAP molecular marker. The results revealed a moderate level of genetic diversity both among and within the studied cultivars. We obtained mean genetic polymorphism of 20.8%.

Published: November 2022

Introduction

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) resulted in a worldwide pandemic, due to its great capacity to invade the human body. Previous studies have shown that the primary route of invasion of this virus is the human respiratory tract via the co-expression of ACE2 receptor and TMPRSS2, a serine protease on the cellular surface. Interestingly, this condition is present not only on the respiratory epithelium but on the conjunctival mucosa, as well. Thus, we hypothesized that SARS-CoV-2 is present on the conjunctival mucosa.

Aim

To prove that SARS-CoV-2 can be detected in the conjunctiva.

Methods

Previously nasopharyngeal swab-sample based real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) positive COVID-19 infected patients were selected at the COVID Care Centers of Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary. The study was approved by the ethical committee of Semmelweis University. During their recovery, both nasopharyngeal and conjunctival swab-samples were taken and PCR method was used to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Appropriate statistical analysis was performed.

Results

The study population consisted of 97 patients, 49 females (50.5%) and 48 males (49.5%), with a mean age of 67.2 ± 11.9 years. During recovery, with nasopharyngeal swabs, the PCR test was positive in 55 cases (56.70%), whereas with conjunctival swabs it was positive in 8 cases (8.25%). Both tests were positive in 5 cases (5.15%). In some patients, ocular symptoms were observed as well. The rest of the patients (29 cases) had negative nasopharyngeal PCR tests during recovery.

Conclusions

Although only in few cases, the data of the present study provides a proof of concept that SARS-CoV-2 can be present on the conjunctival mucosa even in nasopharyngeal negative patients, a finding, which can have clinical importance. Also, on the basis of these findings one can hypothesize that - in addition to the respiratory tract – the conjunctiva can be an entrance route for SARS-CoV-2 to the human body. Thus, in high-risk conditions, in addition to covering the mouth and nose with mask, the protection of the eyes is also strongly recommended.
„Kokainszem-szindróma”

Célunk a kokain szemfelszínre gyakorolt hatásának, a kokainszem-szindrómának,
azaz a „cocaine eye syndrome” nevű tünetegyüttesnek a bemutatása egy eset
ismertetése kapcsán. A kokain használata során megjelenő szemészeti kórkép
kialakulásáért több tényező együttes hatása felel: az anyag közvetlen toxikus
hatása az epithelsejtekre, a cornea beidegzésének károsodása, a csökkent
pislogási reflex miatt a szemfelszín kiszáradása, az epithelsejtek kismértékű
kémiai égése és a szemfelszín dörzsölés következtében kialakuló mechanikus
károsodása. 25 éves betegünknél közvetlenül kábítószer fogyasztását követően
jelentkezett a jobb szemen látásromlás, valamint cornealis erosio
felrakódásokkal, mely abrasio végzésével, etilén-diamin-tetraecetsav (EDTA)
használatával és terápiás kontaktlencse alkalmazásával gyógyult. Amennyiben
szemészeti vizsgálatkor „cocaine eye syndrome”-ra jellemző eltéréseket látunk,
és semmilyen más, a szaruhártya beidegzését befolyásoló corneabetegség nem
igazolható, gondolnunk kell az esetleges szerhasználatra. A megfelelő időben
elkezdett, célzott terápia megszüntetheti a panaszokat, visszaadhatja a beteg
látását, és jelentősen javíthatja életminőségét. Orv Hetil. 2022; 163(47):

Bevezetés: A Raynaud-szindróma egy acralis területeket érintő
vasospasticus jelenség, amely jellegzetes színváltozásokban nyilvánul meg. A
tüneteket befolyásolják olyan hétköznapi hatások, mint a stressz vagy a
hőmérséklet. A nem, az életkor, az egészségkárosító magatartások (például
dohányzás) és a foglalkozás tekintetében is találhatók különbségek a betegség
jelenlétét és alakulását illetően. Célkitűzés: A kutatás célja
a szakirodalomban feltételezett rizikótényezők életminőségre kifejtett hatásának
vizsgálata volt Raynaud-szindrómás betegek körében. Módszer:
Betegségspecifikus, életminőségre és rizikótényezőkre vonatkozó kérdőívet
töltött ki 110, Raynaud-szindrómával diagnosztizált személy.
Eredmények: Szignifikáns különbség volt a jó és a kevésbé
jó életminőséggel leírható csoportok között az életkor (p<0,001), az
iskolázottság (p<0,01), a diagnózis típusa (p<0,001), a betegség
időtartama (p<0,001), a fejfájás gyakorisága (p<0,01), a hideg (p<0,05)
és az érzelmek (p<0,01) befolyásoló hatása alapján. A jelenleg dolgozó

(p<0,001) és a hidegnek (p<0,01) kisebb hatást tulajdonító csoportok jobb
életminőséggel rendelkeztek. A változók interakciós hatását figyelembe vevő
regressziós elemzés szerint a diagnózis típusa, a betegség időtartama, illetve
az érzelmek és a hideg szerepe a legfontosabb befolyásolói a Raynaud-specifikus
életminőségnek. Következtetés: Eredményeink felhívják a

Salah satu alasan masyarakat masih menggunakan transportasi umum adalah menghindari kemacetan dan ketidakpraktisan jika menggunakan kendaraan pribadi. Angkot salah satu transportasi umum yang diminati masyarakat terutama masyrakat Indonesia kalangan menengah ke bawah. Angkot sendiri mengalami tantangan dimana pertumbuhan angkutan mulai berkompetisi dengan mode transportasi sharing (ojek online) yang diakses melalui handhpone untuk melakukan pemesanan dan pembayarannya. Penelitian ini mengusulkan sebuah design aplikasi untuk memfasilitasi transportasi umum khususnya angkot untuk menjadi lebih baik lagi. Adanya aplikasi ini dapat mempermudah penumpang dalam mencari angkot sesuai rute tujuan serta membangkitkan kembali gairah masyrakat untuk menggunakan angkot. Metode yang digunakan untuk pengembangan aplikasi ini yaitu user-centered design dan metode yang digunakan untuk melakukan evaluasi perancangan adalah system usability scale (SUS). Hasil evaluasi dari aplikasi diperoleh peningkatkan pengalaman penumpang saat menggunakan transportasi angkot, dimana penumpang dapat lebih mudah mengetahui angkot mana yang harus digunakan untuk sampai tempat tujuan. Selain itu, pada aplikasi ini sudah adanya penetapan tarif yang jelas sesuai dengan kebutuhan pengguna.Public transportation is still widely used by the community for various reasons. One of the reasons people still use public transportation is to avoid congestion and the impracticality of using private vehicles. Angkot is one of the most popular public transportations, especially the lower middle-class Indonesians. Angkot itself is experiencing challenges where the growth of transportation begins to compete with the sharing mode of transportation (online motorcycle taxis) which is accessed via cell phones to place orders and make payments. This study proposes an application design to facilitate public transportation, especially public transportation, to be even better. The existence of this application can make it easier for passengers to find public transportation according to the destination route and revive the passion of the community to use public transportation. The method used for the development of this application is user-centered design and the method used to evaluate the design is the system usability scale (SUS). The results of the evaluation of the application obtained an increase in the passenger experience when using Angkot transportation, where passengers can more easily find out which Angkot should be used to get to their destination. In addition, this application has a clear tariff setting according to user needs.

Published: November 2022

Enhanced gas sensing properties of hematite \(\alpha\)-Fe2O3 by loaded reduced graphene oxides (RGO) have attracted considerable attention. In this study, RGO-loaded \(\alpha\)-Fe2O3 nanofibers were fabricated via the facile electrospinning method and subsequent calcination process. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that RGO-loaded \(\alpha\)-Fe2O3 nanofibers with diameters of 50-100 nm have typical morphologies of spider nets. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed the rhombohedral structure of the RGO-loaded α-Fe2O3 nanofibers. The energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) results exhibited the presence of Fe, O, and C elements in the synthesized nanofibers. The gas sensing results also confirmed that the sensors based on RGO-loaded \(\alpha\)-Fe2O3 nanofibers could be applied for detecting ethanol gas.

Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT: The development process of a new wheat cultivar requires time between obtaining the base population and selecting the most promising line. Estimating genetic parameters more accurately in early generations with a view to anticipating selection means important advances for wheat breeding programs. Thus, the present study estimated the genetic parameters of F2 populations of tropical wheat and the genetic gain from selection via the Bayesian approach. To this end, the authors assessed the grain yield per plot of 34 F2 populations of tropical wheat. The Bayesian approach provided an adequate fit to the model, estimating genetic parameters within the parametric space. Heritability (h2) was 0.51. Among those selected, 11 F2 populations performed better than the control cultivars, with genetic gain of 7.80%. The following populations were the most promising: TbioSossego/CD 1303, CD 1303/TbioPonteiro, BRS 254/CD 1303, Tbio Duque/Tbio Aton, and Tbio Aton/CD 1303. Bayesian inference can be used to significantly improve tropical wheat breeding programs.

Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT Introduction: In competitive basketball sports, athletes must repeatedly perform movements of maximum intensity quickly, followed by rest. A training mode called high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has the same characteristics. Objective: Explore basketball players’ energy supply characteristics and training changes under different exercise intensities. Methods: The effects of different recovery methods in the intermittent period on exercise capacity and aerobic metabolic energy supply of young male basketball players during high-intensity intermittent interval training (HIIT) were presented. Results: Increased aerobic energy production during HIIT was closely related to the acceleration of kinetics. However, although the time to exhaustion, a parameter characterizing exercise capacity, increased by 3.5% and 4.6%, respectively, in the HIITa group compared to HIITs and HIITp, there was no significant difference. After analyzing each group for the 30s, a gradual increase in strength was noticed. Conclusion: The use of HIIT as training is an important way to improve the physical performance of athletes.

New records of Tabanidae (Diptera) in an ecotone zone between the Cerrado and the Amazon Forest and an updated list of species of Tocantins, Brazil
Authors: Oliveira Lia Pereira , Henriques Augusto Loureiro , Krolow Tiago Kütter
Published: November 2022

Abstract Tabanidae is a family of the order Diptera composed of insects popularly known as horse flies. Compared to the current knowledge about other insects, tabanids can be considered a well-studied group in Brazil, however, little is known about the Tabanidae fauna in the Tocantins state, since only 44 species had been recorded for the state, which is not a very significant number among the 488 species recorded for the country. Thereby, we aimed to enlarge the knowledge of tabanids present in the state by identifying the specimens collected over the last decade in an important transition area between the Cerrado and Amazon domains. We accounted 302 specimens distributed in three subfamilies (Pangoniinae, Chrysopsinae, and Tabaninae), four tribes (Scionini, Chrysopsini, Diachlorini, and Tabanini), 12 genera, 29 species, and two varieties. Of these, only eight species and the two varieties had been recorded in the Tocantins state, numbering 21 new records for the state. Thus, we updated the records of Tabanidae for the Tocantins state for 65 known species.
O setor sucroenergético enquanto um campo social: uma construção teórica e conceitual a partir da abordagem político-cultural
Authors: Corrêa Victor Marchesin
Published: November 2022

Resumo: Este artigo tem como objetivo construir, teórica e conceitualmente, uma interpretação sociológica do setor sucroenergético brasileiro, valorizando os elementos políticos e sociais na qualidade de variáveis explicativas das dinâmicas dos mercados. Parte-se da contestação da racionalidade instrumental presente nas análises neoclássicas para propor uma abordagem do setor como um campo social, trazendo as contribuições da Nova Sociologia Econômica a partir de uma abordagem político-cultural. De acordo com uma análise sistemática do conjunto fundamental de instituições, formais e informais, que organizam e estabilizam as relações sociais e econômicas do setor, identificamos que o campo sucroenergético brasileiro se constitui atualmente em torno de grandes grupos empresariais ligados aos circuitos financeiros internacionais. Esses circuitos determinam sua dinâmica em estreita relação com os campos estatais, tradicionalmente acionados para formalizar e fiscalizar as regras do mercado em questão, conferindo assim a estabilidade e previsibilidade necessária à ação econômica dos atores sociais.

ABSTRACT In breeding programs, the identification of genetic variability and knowledge of genetic constitutions existing within segregating populations are of fundamental importance for the success and continuation of the program. The present study aimed to quantify the genetic diversity among progenies of a sour passion fruit population based on morphoagronomic variables of flowers and fruits using the Ward-MLM (modified location model) procedure, which was efficient in quantifying genetic diversity and allowed the identification and consistent formation of three groups within the population. Among the groups formed, group I presented the highest means for the variables related to flowers, group II presented the highest values for the variables related to yield, and group III presented the highest means for the variables related to fruit quality. The androgynous length, nectariferous chamber length, anther surface, nectareous chamber length, and stigma surface were the variables that most contributed to the divergence between the evaluated genotypes. Crosses between groups II and III genotypes are promising for the next cycle, contributing to increased production and improvement of the physical and chemical quality of fruits.
A tangibilidade do intangível: sinos e cidades tocantes
Authors: GOMES ANA LÚCIA DE ABREU
Published: November 2022

RESUMO Este artigo objetiva contribuir para as reflexões acerca dos sinos e sua materialidade. Em torno do objeto, há um sistema que envolve aspectos de sua confecção - fundição e afinação -, seus usos enquanto instrumento litúrgico e civil, assim como práticas e representações desse bem cultural, cujas funções já não são imprescindíveis para a sociedade contemporânea. Para isso, faz-se uso de bibliografia nacional e estrangeira sobre o tema. Com a apresentação de diferentes aspectos da materialidade dos sinos, procura-se lançar luz sobre a necessidade de pesquisas acerca dos diferentes ofícios mecânicos nas vilas e cidades coloniais, além do desenvolvimento de estudos arqueológicos sobre a fundição sineira no Brasil. Chama-se a atenção, igualmente, para a documentação relativa ao tema, custodiada nos arquivos das irmandades em diferentes cidades brasileiras. Por fim, este artigo procura destacar, por meio do batismo ou bênção dos sinos, alguns usos, práticas e representações dos “bronzes”. Esses elementos ajudaram na identificação de algumas respostas, ainda que provisórias, acerca da manutenção de práticas sociais em torno dos sinos, conferindo aos grupos que as cultivam um sentimento de pertença à comunidade, além de oferecerem um conteúdo às experiências humanas com o tempo.
Origem, evolução e elementos construtivos da Estrada de Mangaratiba, primeira estrada de rodagem do Brasil
Authors: ALMEIDA SORAYA , OLIVEIRA SIMONE
Published: November 2022

RESUMO O artigo discorre sobre aspectos históricos relacionados à definição do traçado, das técnicas de construção e degeneração da Estrada Imperial de Mangaratiba, primeira estrada de rodagem do Brasil, inaugurada em 1857. Construída para facilitar o escoamento de café produzido no Vale do Paraíba e sul de Minas Gerais, a Estrada de Mangaratiba tem sua história associada a importantes eventos do período, responsáveis por sua concepção e por seu abandono após um curto período de existência. Milhares de homens trabalharam em sua construção, ocupados com cortes da mata, nivelamento e, principalmente, em atividades relacionadas ao desmonte, transporte e preparo de toneladas de rochas, sua principal matéria-prima. A pesquisa de campo revelou que as pedras hoje expostas em trechos não asfaltados da estrada correspondem aos alicerces da antiga via, construída segundo o método do engenheiro escocês Thomas Telford sob coordenação do inglês Edward Brainerd Webb e não ao pavimento superior, como é popularmente aceito. A Estrada do Atalho, que lhe antecede, apresenta registros de diferentes modelos de pavimentação, compatíveis com técnicas herdadas dos antigos romanos. Todas as rochas utilizadas em ambas as estradas são de procedência local, extraídas com uso de explosivos de jazidas adjacentes às margens das vias, incluindo as cantarias da Ponte Bela, popularmente tidas como de origem portuguesa.
A Tutorial on the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) in Finance
Authors: Genaro Alan de , Astorino Paula
Published: November 2022

ABSTRACT Context: empirical problems in which the researcher is faced with a model that is partially specified. In these cases, the GMM method is the natural alternative for estimating the parameters of interest. Objective: the goal of this paper is to offer a tutorial that allows the researcher to understand both the theory and empirical aspects of the GMM method. Methods: we discuss the GMM concepts, forms of estimation, and limitations associated with the method. As a way of illustrating the method, we use two applications in the area of empirical finance. The first application is the estimation of the parameters of a consumption-based asset pricing models; the second is the estimation of the parameters of the evolution of the interest rate in continuous time. The data and codes in R are provided as online appendices. Conclusion: the GMM method can be used in problems where other methods such as maximum likelihood are not feasible, or even when the researcher wants to estimate a model partially specified.
Carbon stock and biomass estimate by additive models applied to Ilex paraguariensis

ABSTRACT Ilex paraguariensis is an important non-timber forest product in southern Brazil, where it is cultivated in association with native species, given its demand for shading, which contributes to the conservation and carbon fixation in its biomass. However, determining this biomass is difficult, since the estimates do not guarantee additivity between the compartments and the total aboveground biomass. This study aimed to evaluate additive (seemingly unrelated regression - SUR) and non-additive (ordinary least squares - OLS) biomass models in an Ilex paraguariensis stand and comparing its carbon stock with other land use types, consolidating its potential in the face of climate change. A total of 30 trees were cut, compartmentalized and weighed on a digital scale, and four biomass models were adjusted. The carbon stocks were compared with values found in the literature. The bias in the SUR model was less than 2 %, except for the leaves, while the bias in the OLS model varied between 1 and 14 %. The error ranged between 23 and 49 % for SUR, and between 31 and 50 % for OLS. The models adjusted by SUR ensured the accuracy and additivity of the compartments. The Ilex paraguariensis stand stored more carbon than agriculture and pasture areas, removing more CO2, evidencing the sustainability of this system and favoring the climate stability.
Tribunais ativistas ou deferentes? O que revela a análise da jurisprudência
Authors: Niebuhr Pedro de Menezes , Medeiros Isaac Kofi , Donato Thales , Pleticos Eduarda Lückmann
Published: November 2022

Resumo O artigo compila, organiza e interpreta dados de pesquisa jurisprudencial realizada no âmbito do Tribunal de Justiça de Santa Catarina (TJSC) no intuito de mapear o perfil do controle realizado pelo Poder Judiciário no reexame de atos produzidos pela Administração Pública. O problema que se busca responder consiste em saber se é possível deduzir, a partir da análise de determinado conjunto de julgados, padrão de comportamento mais/menos ativista/deferente do Judiciário em relação aos atos administrativos. A investigação apresenta, a título de referencial teórico, levantamento bibliográfico a propósito da abrangência e da extensão da tarefa de controle judicial da Administração Pública, com especial foco nas correntes designadas como ativistas e deferentes. Os precedentes judiciais do TJSC, colhidos como referência para a presente investigação, demonstram que (i) a existência de maior quantidade de decisões em segunda instância pela anulação ou alteração de atos administrativos, (ii) o recurso recorrente a categorias jurídicas indeterminadas para fundamentação de decisões de revisão de atos administrativos, (iii) a inconsistência entre as distintas câmaras temáticas do Tribunal sobre os fundamentos usados e o resultado dos julgados são, em conjunto, elementos que sugerem a ocorrência, efetiva, de um comportamento ativista do Tribunal no assunto em análise.

Authors: Almeida Luiz Eduardo de , Oliveira Julicristie Machado de , Oliveira Valéria de , Mialhe Fábio Luiz
Published: November 2022

Abstract This study analyzes the stigmatizing potential of studies on the LGBTQIA+ population indexed on the PubMED database. By a broad and systematic bibliographic search, 821 publications were found and 334 (40.68%) were included in this study. From these, 1838 keywords were extracted. Data analysis showed that the keywords “men who have sex with man” (192 repetitions) and “HIV” (98 repetitions) had the highest prevalence. Thus, according to the analysis, the LGBTQIA+ population is essentially described as “men who have sex with other men” and “HIV positive.” This study unveils the presence of stigmatizing characteristics in studies on the LGBTQIA+ population. However, such findings can help strengthen the critical perspective of a more humanized scientific practice, actually concerned with the specificities and needs of the LGBTQIA+ population.
Produção científica em saúde da população LGBTQIA+: uma análise crítica do conteúdo da literatura
Authors: Almeida Luiz Eduardo de , Oliveira Julicristie Machado de , Oliveira Valéria de , Mialhe Fábio Luiz
Published: November 2022

Resumo Esta pesquisa traz em seu escopo a análise do potencial estigmatizador do conteúdo de estudos direcionados à população LGBTQIA+ indexados na plataforma PubMed. Por meio de uma ampla e sistemática pesquisa bibliográfica foram identificados e incluídos, respectivamente, 821 e 334 (40,68%) artigos, dos quais foram extraídos 1838 descritores. Da análise dos dados coletados foram identificados as maiores prevalências dos descritores “men having sex with man” (192 repetições) e “HIV” (98 repetições). Sendo assim, o percurso analítico das informações levantadas refletiu que a população LGBTQIA+ é essencialmente designada como “homens que fazem sexo com outros homens e soropositivos”. Este estudo traz, portanto, a presença de características estigmatizantes nos estudos direcionados à população LGBTQIA+. Contudo, cabe destacar que o resultado encontrado é subsídio para o fortalecimento de uma perspectiva crítica de um fazer científico mais humanizado e direcionado às especificidades e necessidades da população LGBTQIA+.

Published: November 2022

Resumo Este artigo propõe delimitar domínios de ação de pesquisadores como ferramentas para interpretar para quem a área da Educação produz conhecimento. Contextualiza a pesquisa em Educação no Brasil em suas condições institucionais e epistemológicas peculiares. Trabalha com conceitos sociológicos como campo científico, capitais científicos e autonomia do campo profissional para elucidar aspectos do contexto acadêmico brasileiro de produção do conhecimento em Educação. Associa a eles as noções de domínio e de interlocução com audiências para avançar na interpretação das contradições e heteronomias enfrentadas na área. Baseia-se na análise qualitativa de entrevistas semiestruturadas com pesquisadores brasileiros reconhecidos por sua representatividade acadêmica com bolsas de produtividade e com histórico de liderança na investigação científica. Interroga como relações com diferentes grupos sociais sustentam processos de produção e circulação do conhecimento. Para dar conta desse questionamento, caracteriza o subcampo acadêmico-científico da Educação a partir de capitais específicos, públicos da pesquisa, critérios de prestígio e relações políticas. Discute estratégias de interlocução como categorias instrumentais para interpretar fenômenos associados à legitimidade científica e política. Como resultado, encontra quatro domínios de ação na produção de conhecimento em Educação: científico-disciplinar; pedagógico; político-gestor; e socioeducativo dialógico. Conclui que, ao atuar nos diferentes domínios, esses pesquisadores de referência ordenam de forma variada as prioridades conferidas ao rigor científico e à intervenção socioeducacional.

Abstract The effects on different human groups caused by social isolation due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic are currently being known. In this context, one of the least favored sectors and that even until the end of 2021 had not resumed activities to a great extent of Latin America was the education sector and, in the face of a new variant of the virus, it is possible that these activities will continue virtually in 2022. In this regard, the present study aims to show the appreciation of the students, mainly university students, in order to know the perception and assessment regarding the class modality types in the context of COVID-19. For this, a quantitative and descriptive study was designed based on the interpretation of information obtained from surveys carried out on 198 students from the National University of San Cristóbal de Huamanga in Peru. The results regarding the qualification of learning in the virtual modality of the theoretical classes show that 58.1% of students mention that it was regular and 31.3% that it was good, regarding learning in the virtual modality of the experimental classes, 43.4% mention that it was regular and 38.9% deficient. Their preferences in most cases is to have theoretical classes virtually and/or blended; and experimental laboratory classes in face to face and/or blended; Likewise, under the current context of COVID-19, 85.4% of students state that they prefer their health over their professional training.
