Percepciones de estudiantes y profesores sobre el uso del Chromebook: estudio de caso en Educación Secundaria
Authors: Villar González Rosalía , García Beltrán Eva
Published: February 2025

El dispositivo electrónico Chromebook, desarrollado por Google, es una de las opciones por las que optan los centros educativos para acometer la digitalización de sus aulas. El objetivo principal de este estudio es investigar las actitudes tanto del profesorado como del alumnado hacia esta herramienta, la formación de la que disponen y su percepción en cuanto a su impacto en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Se trata de un estudio de caso en el que se emplea una metodología no experimental y transversal, utilizando dos cuestionarios como instrumento de recolección de datos. La muestra de estudio incluye 97 alumnas desde 2º de ESO hasta 1º de Bachillerato, así como 11 profesoras de un centro concertado femenino en A Coruña (España). El enfoque es mixto, combinando un análisis cuantitativo con escala Likert y un análisis cualitativo para proponer mejoras en el centro educativo. Los resultados indican que ambos grupos tienen una percepción positiva del Chromebook, pero demandan contar con más formación sobre su uso. No obstante, ambos colectivos prefieren los libros en papel. Estas percepciones coinciden, en términos generales, con los hallazgos de investigaciones similares en la literatura. Se recomienda reforzar las iniciativas de formación, así como establecer normas claras sobre su uso para optimizar el aprovechamiento de estos dispositivos.

Authors: Bagoly-Simó Péter , Tóth Ádám , Kádár Anett
Published: February 2025

La investigación sobre competencias cartográficas en la educación geográfica tiene una considerable tradición. Basándose en diversas operacionalizaciones, estudios previos se dedicaron a la competencia específica de decodificación de mapas, diagnosticando varios desafíos, principalmente, los relacionados con la decodificación simbólica y geométrica. El presente trabajo utiliza el Modelo de Competencias Cartográficas de Hemmer et al. (2010) para explorar las competencias de decodificación de mapas del alumnado. El seguimiento visual se utilizó para explorar las acciones de los estudiantes durante el procesamiento de tareas de decodificación de mapas. Los resultados de este estudio exploratorio ofrecen, por un lado, evidencia empírica sobre la validez de las competencias de decodificación de mapas definidas en el Modelo de Competencias Cartográficas. Por otro lado, los hallazgos ofrecen una primera visión sobre las acciones del alumnado mientras decodifican símbolos y la geometría del mapa. La investigación también sugiere vías para mejorar los métodos aplicados y el muestreo para estudios futuros.
Evaluación de competencias geográficas permitiendo el uso discente de la IA generativa
Authors: Martínez-Hernández Carlos
Published: February 2025

Recientemente se ha alcanzado una accesibilidad masiva a aplicaciones de IA generativa, lo cual ha generado cierta alarma en el ámbito educativo por su potencial de riesgo en el plagio y autocorrección de actividades evaluables. Aquí se sugiere superar esta alarma aduciendo el carácter enciclopédico de las respuestas generadas por la IA, que es contradictorio con el tipo de conocimiento, más competencial, solicitado en la actual sociedad de la información y el conocimiento y presente en los últimos currículos educativos. Se plantea por tanto adaptar las tareas evaluativas al desarrollo de un marco competencial, y que así no puedan ser resueltas en bruto por una IA. Se detalla el marco competencial propio del pensamiento geoespacial y se fundamenta cómo pueden configurarse las tareas para exigir interpretación y relación de conocimientos por parte del alumnado de las respuestas que puedan obtener de la IA. Se ejemplifica asimismo cómo la IA (geoIA, de texto, de imágenes…) puede concebirse como un complemento a las geotecnologías, con cierta tradición ya de uso docente en la educación geográfica. Se concluye con un llamamiento a abrazar el uso discente de la IA adaptando las tareas evaluativas a un marco competencial, en este caso de pensamiento geográfico.
Quando o verbo se faz voz encarnada
Authors: Coelho Maria Cecília de Miranda Nogueira
Published: February 2025

Este artigo trata da recepção da personagem mítica Helena, de Esparta, em duas obras artísticas brasileiras recentes: a ópera Helena e seu ventríloquo (2019), de Doriana Mendes e Daniel Quaranta, e o filme de curta-metragem Helena de Guaratiba (2023), de Karen Black. Enquanto no segundo é feita uma transposição do mito de Helena como figura feminina individualizada, no primeiro, temos pervivência da “fama do nome que se tornou memória de males”, como escreveu Górgias (Elogio a Helena, § 2), ecoando a figura mítica símbolo da condição feminina cindida entre seu desejo e o comportamento normatizado socialmente que os outros (principalmente os homens) esperam dela. A análise das duas obras será feita em diálogo com outras releituras da figura de Helena na literatura e no audiovisual brasileiros, bem como com algumas fontes clássicas gregas em que a presença da chamada Helena de Troia é notória.
Construction of the Rough Quotient Modules over the Rough Ring by Using Coset Concepts
Authors: Rahma Aira , Fitriani Fitriani , Faisol Ahmad
Published: February 2025

Given an ordered pair $(U, \theta)$ where $U$ is the set universe and $\theta$ is an equivalence relation on the set $U$ is called an approximation space. The equivalence relation $\theta$ is a relation that is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive. If the set $X \subseteq U$, then we can determine the upper approximation of the set $X$, denoted by $\overline{Apr}(X)$, and the lower approximation of the set $X$, denoted by $\underline{Apr}(X)$. The set $X$ is said to be a rough set on $(U, \theta)$ if and only if $\overline{Apr}(X)-\underline{Apr}(X) \neq \emptyset$. A rough set $X$ is a rough module if it satisfies certain axioms. This paper discusses the construction of a rough quotient module over a rough ring using the coset concept to determine its equivalence classes and discusses the properties of a rough quotient module over a rough ring related to a rough torsion module.
Double and Group Acceptance Sampling Inspection Plans Based on Truncated Life Test for the Quasi-Xgamma Distribution
Authors: Sen Subhradev , Saha Mahendra , Tripathi Harsh
Published: February 2025

In this article, we developed group and double acceptance sampling inspection plans (GASIP) and (DASIP). In GASIP, multiple number of items, made as a group, can be tested simultaneously in an inspection procedure. We study both the GASIP and DASIP under the truncated life test assuming that the lifetime of an item is distributed as quasi-xgamma distribution (Sen and Chandra 2017). The plan parameters of both proposed plans are to be determined by satisfying the consumer’s risk at the specified ratio of true average life to the specified life and termination time. The results for different parameters are tabulated and explained in well manner for better understanding. Two suitable real data sets are considered for application purposes.

Introduction. Steadily growing market of medical services currently presents the patient as a client of medical facility. Narrowing the medical market to the pediatric ward, apart from meeting the needs and care of the sick child, the main goal is a good opinion of the parent.

Aim. The aim of the study was to obtain the opinions of parents of hospitalized children about the professional tasks of pediatric nurses.

Materials and methods. The survey was conducted in the group of 60 parents of children hospitalized in pediatric wards with the use of authors’ own questionnaire.

Results. The majority of respondents (80%) believe that the continuing presence of a parent in the hospital is beneficial for the medical treatment of the child. The number of 76.7% believe that their presence in the hospital makes the child not feeling lonely while suffering. As many as 93.3% of parents said that nurses explain them all doubts and that they attempt to work with them for the recovery of the child. When it comes to 90% of respondents, they said that the aid and information on the care of a sick child received from the nurses are sufficient. As many as 68.3% believe that the nursing staff has a high level of professional skills, and 93.3% – that nurses provide physical and mental safety to hospitalized children. When it comes to 91.7% of parents, they said that nurses have respectful approach to the little patients. The working conditions of nurses in the opinion of 68.3% of respondents have an impact on their child care.

Conclusions. Caregivers positively evaluate the work done by nurses in the wards. Nurses spend with children the right amount of time. In the opinion of parents, working conditions of nurses have an impact on their work with the child. Most parents claim that the work of nurses is responsible, physically and mentally hard, and it requires patience and composure.
Goths’ idigenous weapon? Wielbark Culture Axes from the Roman Period
Authors: Kontny Bartosz
Published: February 2025

The author studies the axe heads which may be attributed to the Wielbark Culture. They are grouped according to their finding contexts (possible grave finds, watery finds, possible Wielbark-culture objects from beyond its territory, stray finds). Majority of the Wielbark-culture axe heads dates to the Younger and Late Roman Period as well as the Early Migration Period. Early Roman Period items are almost lacking, which makes the hypothetical influence of the Late Pre-Roman military model (the Oksywie Culture) improbable. Axes were a popular weapon among the Balts, thus it seems probable that Wielbark-culture axes had been borrowed from the West Balt Circle. Popularity of the symmetrical forms of Group II after B. Kontny seems to confirm this supposition, although also other patterns i.a. Types Żarnowiec, Oder-Elbe and Leśnica are documented in the Wielbark Culture. Among them, the Żarnowiec Type has so far been associated generally with the territory of Poland, Type Leśnica – with the south of the Przeworsk Culture territory and the Oder-Elbe – with Luboszyce Culture, Elbe Germanic Circle and southern Scandinavia. Such an image requires verification: Types Leśnica and Żarnowiec are known from the Wielbark, Černâhov and the Sântana de Mureş Cultures and Oder-Elbe in Pomerania. The introduction of the axe took place simultaneously in some other cultural units: the Luboszyce Culture and Elbe Germanic Circle, probably in western Pomerania (the Dębczyno Group), and soon after in the Černâhov and the Sântana de Mureş Cultures. It seems that we deal with the real transformation of the Barbarian model of armament just before and during the crisis of the third century.

Authors: Al Akeel Mohannad , Notta Shahnawaz , Al Akeel Ward , Alhuneafat Laith , Ramu Vijay , Jbara Manar
Published: February 2025

Radiation-induced cardiomyopathy has become a significant clinical challenge with the increased use of thoracic radiation therapy. Recent technological advancements in radiation therapy, such as 3D conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT), intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and proton therapy, have decreased cardiac exposure. Additional methods including multileaf collimation (MLC) cardiac shields, patient prone positioning, and the deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) technique further mitigate the effects of radiation on the heart. Post-therapy cardiac screening is crucial for timely intervention. Furthermore, the antioxidant properties of certain medications and herbal supplements may counteract radiation-induced oxidative stress. Notably, statins, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, and natural products have demonstrated protective effects against radiation-induced cellular damage. This review is aimed at illuminating RIC pathophysiology, clinical implications, and management strategies to enhance early detection, treatment, and prevention.
Spatial Processing Enhancement in Prefrontal Cortex for Rapid Detection of Valuable Objects
Authors: Sharifi Kiomars , Abbaszadeh Mojtaba , Ghazizadeh Ali
Published: February 2025

It is recently shown that objects with long-term reward associations can be efficiently located during visual search. The neural mechanism for valuable object pop-out is unknown. In this work, we recorded neuronal responses in the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (vlPFC) with known roles in visual search and reward processing in macaques while monkeys engaged in efficient vs inefficient visual search for high-value fractal objects (targets). Behavioral results and modeling using multi-alternative attention-modulated drift-diffusion (MADD) indicated that efficient search was concurrent with enhanced processing for peripheral objects. Notably, neural results showed response amplification and receptive field widening to peripherally presented targets in vlPFC during visual search. Both neural effects predict higher target detection and were found to be correlated with it. Our results suggest that value-driven efficient search independent of low-level visual features arises from reward-induced spatial processing enhancement of peripheral valuable objects.

Significance StatementRapid detection of rewarding objects can be essential for survival and reproduction in real life. However, finding valuable objects, among many others, can be time-consuming and slow. In this work, we reveal reward-related changes in the receptive fields of neurons within the prefrontal cortex of macaque monkeys that help them find valuable objects more efficiently. Such reward-related plasticity is shown to develop slowly for objects that are consistently associated with reward and challenges current theories of efficient search based on low-level visual features alone.
A Review of Automatic Driving Target Detection Based on Camera and Millimeter Wave Radar Fusion Technology
Authors: Tao Zhenhua , Ngui Wai Keng
Published: February 2025

Autonomous driving relies heavily on precise target detection to ensure safety and efficiency in navigating complex environments. It typically utilizes multiple sensors to achieve comprehensive environmental perception. This review explores advancements in integrating these complementary sensors, focusing on state-of-the-art fusion methods, challenges, and applications. The combination of these sensors addresses the limitations of individual modalities: cameras excel in capturing detailed textures and colors, while millimeter wave radar provides reliable distance, velocity, and motion information under adverse weather conditions. Key findings reveal that the sparse radar data, lack of comprehensive multimodal datasets, and difficulties in correlating radar with image data pose significant hurdles. Future research should focus on developing comprehensive multimodal datasets, 4D millimeter-wave radar, and refining fusion algorithms for robustness in diverse environments. This review provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state and challenges in target detection, serving as a foundation for future innovation in autonomous driving technology.

Authors: Hulsmann S C , Hoving E W , Bakker B , Janssens G O , van Schaik J , de Vos-Kerkhof E , Tissing W J E , van Santen H M
Published: February 2025

Objective

Hypothalamic obesity (HO) is a severe condition following childhood craniopharyngioma (cCP) treatment. Despite multidisciplinary and centralized care, severe body mass index (BMI) changes are still often encountered after cCP surgery. We aimed to perform an in-depth analysis of BMI trajectories in our cCP cohort in the first year after surgery and to identify characteristics associated with BMI change.

Methods

Data were collected of cCP patients diagnosed since January 2018. Change (Δ) in BMI standard deviation scores (SDSs) from treatment to 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after and latest follow-up was assessed. Secondary outcomes were patient, tumor and treatment characteristics associated with ΔBMI SDS and interventions for postoperative weight gain.

Results

Of the 35 cCP patients, the most significant BMI SDS change was observed within the first three months following cCP resection, with almost half of the patients developing an increase of ≥1.0 BMI SDS. Of patients with the most severe BMI change within the first three months, 87% were overweight or obese at 12 months after cCP resection. Pharmacological intervention for obesity started on average 10.8 months postresection. Development of arginine vasopressin deficiency was positively correlated with ΔBMI SDS in the first three months (P = 0.017). Barriers for obesity intervention in the first months following treatment are discussed.

Conclusions

Following cCP resection, increase in BMI due to hypothalamic damage is most severe already in the first three months postoperatively. Postoperative rapid weight gain should be acknowledged as a consequence of hypothalamic damage and requires more early intervention aiming to prevent the development of HO.
Gonadal function in patients with 47,XYY syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Authors: Cannarella Rossella , Pedano Andrea , Compagnone Michele , La Vignera Sandro , Condorelli Rosita A. , Calogero Aldo E.
Published: February 2025

The 47,XYY syndrome, or Jacobs syndrome, is a chromosomal disorder affecting approximately 1 in 1,000 male births. While often asymptomatic or mildly expressed, it is associated with various physical, cognitive, and behavioral features. Early studies erroneously linked the condition to aggressive behavior and elevated testosterone levels, largely based on incarcerated populations. Recent evidence contradicts this, showing testosterone levels in 47,XYY individuals are typically normal or lower than in 46,XY males. This systematic review and meta-analysis of 362 patients examines hormonal, testicular, and fertility outcomes in 47,XYY syndrome. Findings reveal significantly lower testosterone levels and elevated luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone, indicating impaired gonadal function. While testicular volumes are often normal, many patients exhibit reduced size, and a notable proportion experience oligozoospermia or azoospermia. These outcomes highlight the need for counseling regarding infertility and hormonal imbalances. This review dispels the myth of 47,XYY as a “super-male syndrome,” emphasizing the complexity of hormonal, testicular, and psychological factors. It underscores the importance of early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach to address endocrine and reproductive health. Regular monitoring for hypogonadism and consideration of assisted reproductive technologies are recommended to support affected individuals.

Published: February 2025

The article aims to compare, from a formal analysis, certain works by Rufino Tamayo and Fernando de Szyszlo that evoke the original national past to demonstrate in which cases the links with the subject in question are supported by plastic elements.
Thus, through the analysis of the work “Aztlan” with which Tamayo illustrates a novel of the same title and of a work by Szyszlo belonging to the “Cajamarca” series, based on the poem Apu Inca Atawallpaman (The death of the Inca Atahualpa), It is intended to compare how each artist approaches the texts that allude to the history before the arrival of the Spaniards in America. Likewise, two paintings will be analyzed, one by each artist, made in the oil technique to recognize how both artists link the theme of the works with the visual elements through the same material.
Kidney Agenesis and Müllerian Duct Anomalies: A Report of Two Cases and Literature Review
Authors: Donielaitė-Anisė Kamilė , Marozas Rytis , Bumbulienė Žana , Jankauskienė Augustina
Published: February 2025

Background: The association between urinary tract anomalies and Müllerian duct anomalies (MDA) is well-known, due to their shared embryonic origin. Disruptions in early development can significantly affect both the kidney and reproductive systems. This article presents two cases illustrating the coexistence of kidney agenesis and MDA in girls, followed by a literature review.Materials and Methods: A literature search was conducted on PubMed, focusing on publications from 2000 to 2024 by using keywords: ‘kidney agenesis’, ‘renal agenesis’, ‘Müllerian duct anomalies’, ‘OHVIRA’ (obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly), and ‘Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome’. The PRISMA guidelines were followed for the study selection. Additionally, two cases managed at Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Klinikos between 2022 and 2024 are presented.Results: The literature search yielded 32 articles encompassing data on 43 girls with an average age of 11.8 years. In 54% of the cases, the diagnosis of kidney agenesis was concurrent with identifying MDA. In other cases, kidney anomalies were detected earlier, including 6 cases identified prenatally. Type III MDA, as classified by the American Fertility Society, was the most common variety. Premenarche diagnosis of MDA was made in 11.9% of the cases. In more than half of the cases, MDA was identified due to complaints necessitating consultations, mostly leading to urgent surgical interventions. At our hospital, a 9-year-old and a 14-year-old were diagnosed with Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome. Kidney agenesis was diagnosed prior to MDA in both cases. For the 9-year-old girl, MDA was found incidentally on ultrasound, while the other required consultation and an urgent surgery due to symptoms.Conclusions: Unilateral kidney agenesis frequently co-occurs with Müllerian duct anomalies, highlighting the need for comprehensive evaluations in affected patients. An early diagnosis and management of MDA are crucial to prevent complications. An increased clinical awareness and further research are necessary to enhance early detection and patient outcomes.

Published: February 2025

During the early COVID-19 pandemic, most psychiatric facilities did not admit SARS-CoV-2–positive youth, resulting in prolonged emergency department (ED) boarding and delayed psychiatric care. In response, our hospital enacted a small, single-site, innovative pilot enabling psychiatric admission of SARS-CoV-2–positive patients with lower behavioral acuity to an inpatient medical unit for comprehensive telepsychiatry programming. Patients transferred to the Telepsychiatry Model from our EDs or hospital medicine service after medical clearance. Psychiatrists from our adjacent traditional inpatient psychiatry unit (IPU) provided day-to-day care in partnership with medical nurses, behavioral health specialists, and consulting hospitalists on the general medical unit, and our traditional IPU’s standard treatment protocol, milieu-based group therapy, was delivered via telehealth. Over its first 3 years, 64 patients received care under the Telepsychiatry Model. Behavioral escalations requiring intervention were rare, with 2 staff injuries reported. Most patients discharged home (92%; median length of stay, 7 days). No patients died by suicide within 6 months of discharge, and 12 (19%) received care in a state ED or psychiatric hospital within 30 days of discharge. This pilot successfully operationalized comprehensive telepsychiatry programming from an inpatient medical unit and has potential applications to future infectious outbreaks and delivery of psychiatric services to patients with high medical complexity, during inpatient psychiatry capacity crises, and in geographic locations with limited access to inpatient psychiatric care. To adopt a similar model, other institutions should invest in local infrastructure, partner with local regulatory leaders, and foster strong, collaborative relationships with remote psychiatric partners.

Proposed AASHTO Guidelines for Adjacent Precast Concrete Box Beam Bridge Systems, Part 1: Analytical Investigation
Authors: Haroon Abdullah , Hamid Waleed , Miller Richard , Shahrooz Bahram , Steinberg Eric
Published: February 2025

Adjacent box-girder bridges are a cost-effective solution
for short-span bridges that require a shallow profile.
These bridges use precast concrete hollow boxes erected
side by side to create a bridge profile with load transfer
between the adjacent girders facilitated by shear keys placed near the top of the section. Transverse post-tensioning is also provided along the span to help with load transfer. However, the traditional partial-depth shear keys are susceptible to thermal cracking. Shear-key cracking can cause leakage and loss of load transfer, leading to corrosion and deterioration of the girders. An analytical study with different shear key configurations was performed to investigate joint performance when subjected to thermal and live loads. The effectiveness of post-tensioning and shear key reinforcement in mitigating shear key cracking was assessed. It was concluded that using full-depth or middepth shear keys can potentially improve the performance of adjacent box-girder bridges, whereas post-tensioning or joint reinforcement is ineffective in leakage prevention.

The Effect of Repeated Closing Torque on Torque Loss and Angular Deviation : An in Vitro Study
Authors: Guo Ruoyan , Qian Yantao , Lin GuoHai , Chen Run
Published: February 2025

Information. Loosening and fracturing of the central screw are common mechanical complications after implant restoration. However, the relationship between these complications and the repetitive tightening and loosening of the central screw during the fabrication and maintenance of the implant-supported restorations remains unknown.

Purpose. To evaluate the torque loss after repetitive tightening and loosening of the central screws on implants with different diameters, as well as the changes in the angle deviation of the central screw relative to the implant.

Material and methods. Twenty implants were divided into 2 groups absed on diameter: 3.7 mm(Group A) and 4.5 mm(Group B), with 10 implants in each group. Each group was further subdivided into 4 subgroups: A1, A2, B1, and B2(n=5). A closing torque of 15 N·cm was applied to groups A1 and B1, while a closing torque of 35 N·cm was applied to groups A2 and B2. Reverse torque measurements were taken 10 times for each group. The angular deviation of the central screw relative to the implant was recorded, and the surface wear of the central screw was observed under a scanning electron microscope(SEM). The data were analyzed using repeated measures two-way analysis of variance(α=0.05).

Results. Torque loss showed a significant upward trend across all groups with increased tightening cycle(P<0.05). Implant diameter significantly influenced torque loss, with smaller diameters exhibiting greater torque loss(P<0.05). Besides, the angular deviation of the central screw relative to the implant was not affected by different diameters (P>0.05) but was affected by the closing torque and the cycles of multiple tightening and loosening procedures(P<0.05). Under a 35 N·cm closing torque, initial torque loss ranged from 9.12 N·cm to 10.98 N·cm. Peak torque loss occurred at the 10th cycle, with values of 16.40 N·cm for 3.7 mm implants and 12.42 N·cm for 4.5 mm implants.

Conclusion. Repeated tightening and loosening procedures increased both torque loss and angular deviation.The diameter of the implant may impact the torque loss, with larger diameter showing less torque loss. It is suggested to limit the number of tightening cycles for narrow-diameter implants to reduce the risk of potential complications.

This study compares the operational difficulty and patient-related outcomes of removing a dental implant or tooth root displaced into the maxillary sinus. The study was conducted on 19 patients [median age, 22 years; female, 8 (42.11%)] whose dental implants or tooth roots remained in the maxillary sinus for over 6 months. Nine patients had dental implants in their maxillary sinuses (Group 1), and 10 had tooth roots migrated into the maxillary sinus during tooth extraction (Group 2). All patients were operated on under local anesthesia. The maxillary sinus was accessed by opening a lateral bone window osteotomy on the sinus wall (Caldwell-Luc technique). Age, gender, operation time, smoking habit, duration after displacement, displacement region, operational difficulty reported by the surgeon and patient-related outcomes such as pain, swelling, post-nasal drip, and nasal obstruction were collected retrospectively. The mean age was 43.47 years. The mean age of the patients in the Group 2 was significantly lower (p=0.037). There was no statistically significant relation between the operational difficulty in groups. However,there was a statistically significant difference in operation time between groups. The mean total operation time for Groups 1 and 2 were 66.22 minutes and 35.4 minutes, respectively (p=0.001). Patient-related outcomes such as pain after the operation, nasal obstruction, post-nasal drip and facial swelling were not different between groups (p>0.05). It was determined that the operation time for removing the dental implants from the maxillary sinus was longer than the tooth root. However, operational difficulty and patient-related outcomes were similar.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT Objective: Describe the activities aimed at achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), implemented by a polytechnic higher education institution, in the northern region of Portugal. Methods: This is an experience report from a Higher Education Institution, which characterizes the contribution to the SDGs, within the scope of teaching, research, campus and leadership. Results: In total, 1247 activities were mapped, with a preponderance in the “people” dimension (685 activities), with SDG 3 being the most prominent. Scientific articles contribute significantly to the SDGs, with a notable discrepancy between automatic (Scopus) and manual classifications, indicating a tendency to underestimate the impact of nursing studies. Conclusion: The results demonstrate the significant contribution of this institution to the SDGs, with a special focus on health and education. This contribution reflects the mission of the institution, which involves training competent and socially conscious health professionals, but simultaneously the need for greater awareness and training of the teaching staff.

Published: February 2025

Resumen El objetivo de esta revisión de alcance fue comprender, desde la perspectiva de la psicología, las directivas anticipadas de voluntad en el contexto de los cuidados paliativos. A partir de la literatura disponible, la revisión se llevó a cabo utilizando el método PRISMA-ScR. Mediante búsquedas en las bases de datos SciELO, LILACS y PePSIC, se seleccionaron 18 artículos para la revisión final. Se excluyeron los estudios duplicados, los que no estaban configurados como artículos científicos y los que no correspondían al tema o no discutían el contexto brasileño. Se observó que, además de estar estrechamente relacionadas con la disminución de los síntomas ansiosos y depresivos, las directivas anticipadas de voluntad desempeñan un papel importante en la promoción de la autonomía del paciente. Se concluyó que el psicólogo contribuye a la implementación de las directivas anticipadas de voluntad, ayuda en la comunicación y en la aceptación por parte de la familia y en la elaboración del duelo. Por último, se resalta la importancia de ampliar las discusiones acerca del tema en futuras investigaciones, especialmente en psicología, donde hay escasez literaria.
