Authors: Rios Jane Adriana Vasconcelos Pacheco , Nascimento Leandro Gileno Militão
Published: May 2022

O presente artigo tem por objetivo refletir acerca das redes e coletivos de docentes que realizam a investigação-formação a partir da escola e suas contribuições no debate sobre a formação docente na Educação Básica. Esta investigação-formação baseia-se na construção de relatos de experiências de professores/as da Educação Básica que constituem coletivos de docentes narradores/as como formas alternativas de organização pedagógica e de produção de outras pedagogias e saberes que habitam a escola. O trabalho vem sendo desenvolvido a partir do dispositivo de pesquisa-ação-formação da Documentação Narrativa de Experiência Pedagógica (SUÁREZ, 2007), através dos princípios epistemopolíticos da autoria, da inclusão, da alteridade e da horizontalidade. Trata-se de um diálogo coparticipativo com as experiências construídas nas/pelas redes de formação latino-americanas e os relatos de docentes, coordenadores/as e pesquisadores/as do Coletivo docente sobre os princípios e ações pedagógicas que mobilizam a formação construída a partir de uma outra epistemologia sobre a escola gestada no fluxo da ecologia dos saberes (SANTOS, 2010) e nas práticas insubmissas decoloniais que mobilizam o cotidiano escolar.

Authors: Ceniceros-Ortiz Brenda Isela
Published: May 2022

Se reflexiona acerca de cómo un monumento binacional se convierte en un espacio de apropiación urbana y refugio de personas migrantes en Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México. El enfoque utilizado fue análisis espacial por medio de revisión literaria y hemerográfica, recorridos etnográficos y observación no participante, para presentar una caracterización y mapeo del espacio. El parque, como espacio público, alberga el monumento histórico “La Toma del Chamizal”, un referente en esta frontera. Como resultado comprender cómo fue ocupado y apropiado por personas, cómo es transformado de espacio monumental de contemplación a espacio ocupado y vivido, simbólico y repleto de memorias fronterizas que se suscitaron gracias a las caravanas migrantes más recientes, 2018-2020.
Dinámicas de vulnerabilidad en entornos urbanos multiculturales. El caso de Salt
Authors: Mazorra-Rodríguez Álvaro
Published: May 2022

Este artículo se centra en el análisis del municipio gerundense de Salt. Describe, en primer lugar, los condicionantes que han incentivado su degradación, para, posteriormente, identificar las dinámicas que determinan su vulnerabilidad. Desde un enfoque metodológico mixto, el análisis desarrollado lleva a concluir que las condiciones de vulnerabilidad de la población que vive en barrios degradados constituyen una potencial amenaza para la cohesión social en estas zonas urbanas. Ello enfatiza la necesidad de promover, desde las políticas públicas, la evolución de nuestras ciudades hacia mayores niveles de integración socioespacial, especialmente en favor de los grupos vulnerables, tradicionalmente los más segregados.
Lenguaje arquitectónico del subgénero industrial. Las embotelladoras Coca-Cola en la República Mexicana (1940-1970)
Authors: Montes-Ponce Wendy Margarita , López-Altamirano Otniel Josaft , Mayorga-Hernandez José Israel
Published: May 2022

Durante la segunda mitad del Siglo XX en México, los procesos industriales se modificaron con relación a la elaboración de refrescos. El franquiciante Coca-Cola condicionó a los franquiciatarios mexicanos a construir fábricas con base en características arquitectónicas industriales de la marca. El objetivo de la investigación se centró en develar ese lenguaje corporativo que definió el subgénero arquitectónico de las embotelladoras de gaseosas. Se trata de una interpretación ideológica que los constructores desarrollaron para reproducir la imagen de la empresa.

Published: May 2022

Background

Topic modeling approaches allow researchers to analyze and represent written texts. One of the commonly used approaches in psychology is latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA), which is used for rapidly synthesizing patterns of text within “big data,” but outputs can be sensitive to decisions made during the analytic pipeline and may not be suitable for certain scenarios such as short texts, and we highlight resources for alternative approaches. This review focuses on the complex analytical practices specific to LDA, which existing practical guides for training LDA models have not addressed.

Objective

This scoping review used key analytical steps (data selection, data preprocessing, and data analysis) as a framework to understand the methodological approaches being used in psychology research using LDA.

Methods

A total of 4 psychology and health databases were searched. Studies were included if they used LDA to analyze written words and focused on a psychological construct or issue. The data charting processes were constructed and employed based on common data selection, preprocessing, and data analysis steps.

Results

A total of 68 studies were included. These studies explored a range of research areas and mostly sourced their data from social media platforms. Although some studies reported on preprocessing and data analysis steps taken, most studies did not provide sufficient detail for reproducibility. Furthermore, the debate surrounding the necessity of certain preprocessing and data analysis steps is revealed.

Conclusions

Our findings highlight the growing use of LDA in psychological science. However, there is a need to improve analytical reporting standards and identify comprehensive and evidence-based best practice recommendations. To work toward this, we developed an LDA Preferred Reporting Checklist that will allow for consistent documentation of LDA analytic decisions and reproducible research outcomes.
Pedagogical Approaches and Learning Activities, Content, and Resources Used in the Design of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in the Health Sciences: Protocol for a Scoping Review
Authors: Røynesdal Øystein , Magnus Jeanette H , Moen Anne
Published: May 2022

Background

Developing online, widely accessible educational courses, such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), offer novel opportunities to advancing academic research and the educational system in resource-constrained countries. Despite much literature on the use of design-related features and principles of different pedagogical approaches when developing MOOCs, there are reports of inconsistency between the pedagogical approach and the learning activities, content, or resources in MOOCs.

Objective

We present a protocol for a scoping review aiming to systematically identify and synthesize literature on the pedagogical approaches used, and the learning activities, content, and resources used to facilitate social interaction and collaboration among postgraduate learners in MOOCs across the health sciences.

Methods

We will follow a 6-step procedure for scoping reviews to conduct a search of published and gray literature in the following databases: Medline via Ovid, ERIC, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and PsychINFO. Two reviewers will screen titles, abstracts, and relevant full texts independently to determine eligibility for inclusion. The team will extract data using a predefined charting form and synthesize results in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist.

Results

The scoping review is currently ongoing. As of March 2022, we have performed initial data searches and screened titles and abstracts of the studies we found but revised the search string owing to inaccurate results. We aim to start analyzing the data in June 2022 and expect to complete the scoping review by February 2023.

Conclusions

With the results of this review, we hope to report on the use of pedagogical approaches and what learning activities, content, and resources foster social and collaborative learning processes, and to further elucidate how practitioners and academics can harvest our findings to bridge the gap between pedagogics and learning activities in the instructional design of MOOCs for postgraduate students in the health sciences.

COVID-19 News and Its Association With the Mental Health of Sexual and Gender Minority Adults: Cross-sectional Study (Preprint)
Authors: Clark Kristen D , Lunn Mitchell R , Sherman Athena D F , Bosley Hannah G , Lubensky Micah E , Obedin-Maliver Juno , Dastur Zubin , Flentje Annesa
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

Sexual and gender minority (SGM; people whose sexual orientation is not heterosexual or whose gender identity varies from what is traditionally associated with the sex assigned to them at birth) people experience high rates of trauma and substantial disparities in anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Exposure to traumatic stressors such as news related to COVID-19 may be associated with symptoms of anxiety and PTSD.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to evaluate the relationship of COVID-19 news exposure with anxiety and PTSD symptoms in a sample of SGM adults in the United States.

METHODS

Data were collected between March 23 and August 2, 2020, from The PRIDE Study, a national longitudinal cohort study of SGM people. Regression analyses were used to analyze the relationship between self-reported news exposure and symptoms of anxiety using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 and symptoms of COVID-19–related PTSD using the Impact of Events Scale-Revised.

RESULTS

Our sample included a total of 3079 SGM participants. Each unit increase in COVID-19–related news exposure was associated with greater anxiety symptoms (odds ratio 1.77, 95% CI 1.63-1.93; P<.001) and 1.93 greater odds of PTSD (95% CI 1.74-2.14; P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Our study found that COVID-19 news exposure was positively associated with greater symptoms of anxiety and PTSD among SGM people. This supports previous literature in other populations where greater news exposure was associated with poorer mental health. Further research is needed to determine the direction of this relationship and to evaluate for differences among SGM subgroups with multiple marginalized identities.
An Integrated mHealth App for Smoking Cessation in Black Smokers With Anxiety: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial (Preprint)
Authors: Businelle Michael S , Garey Lorra , Gallagher Matthew W , Hébert Emily T , Vujanovic Anka , Alexander Adam , Kezbers Krista , Matoska Cameron , Robison Jillian , Montgomery Audrey , Zvolensky Michael J
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

Black smokers have greater difficulty in quitting and higher rates of smoking-related diseases and disabilities than the general population. The smoking disparities experienced by this group are, in part, a consequence of multiple chronic life stressors (eg, racial discrimination) that engender increased exposure to interoceptive stress symptoms (eg, anxiety), which can ultimately lead to smoking as a means of immediate emotion regulation.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to culturally adapt and initially test a novel mobile intervention (ie, Mobile Anxiety Sensitivity Program for Smoking [MASP]) that targets anxiety sensitivity (AS; a proxy for difficulty and responsivity to interoceptive stress) among Black smokers. The MASP intervention is culturally informed to address interoceptive stress management difficulties among Black smokers and is thus hypothesized to facilitate smoking cessation.

METHODS

In phase 1, a total of 25 Black smokers with elevated AS will be administered MASP for 6 weeks. Following the completion of phase 1, we will further refine the MASP based on qualitative and quantitative data from participants to produce the final MASP iteration. In phase 2, a total of 200 Black smokers with elevated AS will be enrolled and randomly assigned to receive nicotine replacement therapy and either the smartphone-based National Cancer Institute QuitGuide app for standard mobile smoking cessation treatment or the MASP intervention. All participants in phases 1 and 2 will be enrolled remotely and will complete a web-based study screener; smartphone-based baseline assessment; daily smartphone-based ecological momentary assessments for 6 weeks; phone-based end-of-treatment qualitative interviews; and smartphone-based follow-up assessments at postbaseline weeks 1, 2 (quit date), 3, 4, 5, 6, 28, and 54 (weeks 28 and 54 follow-ups will be completed by phase 2 participants only). The MASP intervention is intended to offset barriers to treatment and encourage treatment engagement via smartphones.

RESULTS

This project was funded in September 2020. Phase 1 data collection began in January 2022. Phase 2 data collection is scheduled to begin in July 2022.

CONCLUSIONS

If successful, data from this study will support culturally informed treatment approaches for Black smokers and, pending findings of efficacy, provide an evidence-based mobile intervention for smoking cessation that is ready for dissemination and implementation.

Authors: Liang Jing , Wang Linlin , Song Shijie , Dong Man , Xu Yidan , Zuo Xinyu , Zhang Jingyi , Adrian Sherif Akil , Ma Jianjun , Li Pengyang
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

The incidence of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), also known as broken heart syndrome or stress cardiomyopathy, has been increasing. The understanding of its prognosis has been progressively evolving and currently appears to be poorer than previously thought which has attracted the attention of researchers. An attempt to recognize the awareness of this condition amongst the general population drove us to analyze the dissemination of this topic on the popular platform, TikTok. We found a considerable number of videos regarding TTS on TikTok, however, the quality of the presented information remains largely unknown.

OBJECTIVE

To analyze the quality and audience engagement of TTS-related videos on TikTok.

METHODS

Videos on the TikTok platform were explored to identify those regarding TTS by using six Chinese keywords that represented “Takotsubo syndrome” on August 2, 2021. A total of 2,549 videos were found, out of which 80 met our inclusion criteria and were evaluated for their characteristics, content, quality, and reliability. The quality and reliability were rated using the DISCERN instrument and JAMA criteria, by two reviewers independently and a score was assigned. Descriptive statistics were generated and the Kruskal-Wallis test was used for statistical analysis.

RESULTS

The scores assigned to the selected video content were found to be low with regard to the diagnosis (0.66/2) and management (0.34/2) of TTS. The evaluated videos were found to have an average score of 36.93 out of 80 on the DISCERN instrument, and 1.51 out of 4 per the JAMA criteria. None of the evaluated videos met all JAMA criteria. The quality of relayed information varied by source (All p< .05). TTS-related videos made by professionals accounted for 27.5% of all evaluated videos and had the highest DISCERN scores with an average of 40.59 out of 80.

CONCLUSIONS

The quality of patient education videos regarding TTS on TikTok is poor. Patients should be cautious when obtaining health-related information through TikTok. The formulation of a measure for video quality review is necessary especially when the purpose of the published content is to educate and increase awareness of a health-related topic.
A prediction model based on routine blood indicators for the early diagnosis of serious bacterial infection in infants: a case-control study (Preprint)
Authors: Liang Runqiang , Chen Ziyu , Yang Shumei , Wang Zhu , Lin Xin , Xu Fang
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

Routine blood test is an easily accessible, more economical, quick and routine method to examine infectious-related diseases. The prediction effect of routine blood parameters has rarely reported in the diagnosis of serious bacterial infections (SBI).

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to develop a model for early diagnosis of SBI using routine blood parameters.

METHODS

This case-control study was conducted based on the data collected from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) included children under one year. SBI was defined as urinary tract infections, meningitis, and sepsis. Lasso regression was used to screen the potential determiners. The model was developed with random forest analysis based on routine blood parameters, and performance was assessed through calculating the area under the curve (AUC). Propensity score-matching (PSM) method was used to eliminate the impact of ethnicity-related bias.

RESULTS

After PSM, a total of 1,160 participants were included, with 232 in SBI group and 928 in non-SBI group. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW), hemoglobin (HGB), neutrophil, platelets (PLT) counts, monocyte, white blood cell (WBC) counts, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR), and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were screened out to develop the model, with AUC of 0.824 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.789-0.859]. The variable importance of random forest demonstrated that WBC, MCV, SII and other top-ranked variables were shown as significant factors for the diagnosis of SBI.

CONCLUSIONS

Our model based on routine blood parameters showed a good performance, indicating the availability of this model in the clinic.

Authors: Segur-Ferrer Joan , Moltó-Puigmartí Carolina , Pastells-Peiró Roland , Vivanco-Hidalgo Rosa Maria
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND

Health technology assessment (HTA) is one of the main tools that health systems have to generate evidence and determine the value of a given health technology. Although the existing HTA frameworks are useful tools for the evaluation of a wide range of health technologies, more and more experts, organizations across the world, and HTA agencies are highlighting the need to update or develop specific methodological frameworks for the evaluation of digital health technologies in order to take into account additional domains to cover their intrinsic characteristics.

OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this scoping review is to identify the methodological frameworks used worldwide for the assessment of digital health technologies, determine what dimensions and aspects are being considered, and generate, through a thematic analysis, a proposal of a methodological framework based on the most frequently described dimensions found in the literature.

METHODS

The scoping review will be performed in accordance with guidelines established in the updated statement of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Peer-reviewed and grey literature published between 2011 and the date of the search execution will be searched for. The retrieved references will be reviewed in a single-blind manner by two independent authors, and their quality will be assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) tool. The ATLAS.ti software will be used for data extraction and to perform the thematic analysis.

RESULTS

The scoping review is currently (May 2022) in progress. It is expected to be completed in October 2022 and the final results of the research will be presented and published by November 2022.

CONCLUSIONS

This scoping review aims to identify the existing methodological frameworks for digital HTA, determine what dimensions should be evaluated for correct decision-making, and become the basis for a methodological reference framework to be used by healthcare systems to carry out this kind of assessments. To our knowledge, no equivalent study has been published so far.

Published: May 2022

Background: The government implemented the regulation for higher education during the pandemic Covid-19 about the method of learning with an online system. This online learning model will affect self-regulated learning and academic achievement. Self-regulated learning for online learning has not been widely studied. Previous research has written that self-regulated learning in offline learning was formed by several factors. This research was conducted to find out that self-regulated learning and the factors that shape them are still relevant in online learning. The objectives of the study were to analyze the factors and relationships that influence self-regulated learning in online learning during the pandemic Covid-19.Methods: This research was conducted with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) on the survey results of 175 respondents. The questionnaire consisted of 54 validated questions on the Likert scale. Calculations were done using PLS-SEM data analysis (Smart PLS version 3.0).Results: This study produces a good and strong model with a GoF value> 0.34. Path analysis shows that all O-sample values are positive with t statistic > 1.97 and p-value < 0.025. Thus, each factor has a significant positive effect on forming self-regulated learning.Conclusion: The factors that have been researched on offline learning that forming self-regulated learning are still relevant to use in online learning. These factors are mastery goal orientation, task value perception, academic self-efficacy, metacognitive knowledge awareness, prior learning experiences, good grades, employment prospects, successful future, support from teaching staff, peers, and family.

Authors: Salsabila Nikla Sekar , Wahyudi Kurnia , Pratiwi Yuni Susanti , Ariyanto Eko Fuji , Achadiyani Achadiyani
Published: May 2022

Background: In 2019, there were three admission pathways in the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Padjadjaran (FMUP), which were SNMPTN (Seleksi Nasional Masuk Perguruan Tinggi Negeri), SBMPTN (Seleksi Bersama Masuk Perguruan Tinggi Negeri), and Seleksi Mandiri Universitas Padjadjaran (SMUP). SNMPTN was based on previous academic achievements in senior high school. SBMPTN was held through a highly competitive national examination, while SMUP was conducted through the test held by Universitas Padjadjaran. In their first year, batch 2019 students had to adapt to college life, and also to the transition into distance learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to know whether types of student admission selection contribute to academic achievements of the first-year students in the Hemato-immunology system (HIS), where the learning process was held during the transition into distance learning.Methods: This study compared the academic achievement of first-year students (batch 2019) on the second semester’s second half, using their HIS Multidisciplinary Examination (MDE) scores, for three selection methods. The data were 256 MDE scores of those students. Statistical analysis was performed using One Way ANOVA test, followed by Post-hoc Tukey test.Results: There was a statistically significant difference of HIS MDE scores for each selection method. The highest mean was by SNMPTN group (68.29+10.44), followed by SBMPTN group (64.90+11.29) and SMUP group (63.25+9.95).Conclusion: Students of SNMPTN group, who were selected based on previous academic achievements in senior high school, had higher HIS MDE scores than the other groups.

Organic dust exposure induced pulmonary damage among livestock workers.
Authors: Nag Dr. Anu , Sethi Dr. R.S. , Singh Dr. Akashdeep
Published: May 2022

Livestock dust contains immunologically potent substances including allergens, endotoxins, microbial compounds, bacteria, fungi, viruses, pathogenic infectious organisms, particulate matter (PM), various poisonous gases such as ammonia, hydrogen sulphide (H2S), methyl acetate, propanoic acid, heptane etc.It stimulates the immune system through inflammatory and allergenic microbial agents (molds, bacteria, virus and allergens) and microbial-associated molecular patterns (e.g., endotoxin, glucans and peptidoglycans), to result in inflammatory reactions. Farmers are at the risk of developing airway diseases resulting from repeatedly exposures on the livestock farms. There is a paucity of data on in vivo and in vitro cellular and molecular changes following multiple exposures to these livestock contaminants and their long-term impact on the environment as well as human health. The mechanisms of lung dysfunction are still largely unknown. So, there is strong need to look at the combined effect of all the components of livestock dust as stimulatory factors for respiratory hazards. The development of preventive strategies to reduce exposure will be required- in-depth and identification of factors that affect day-to-day variability in exposure.

Authors: Rwehumbiza Editha G. , Mfugale Castor
Published: May 2022

This study examines the contribution of conflict management on employee’s performance in Tanzania with particular reference to Dar es Salaam Maritime Gateway Project (DMGP). Specifically, the study intended to examine the nature of communication flow at DMGP, to identify the conflict resolution approaches practiced at DMGP and to associate practiced conflict resolution approaches with employees’ performance in Dar es Salaam Maritime Gateway Project. The study adopted the use of case study research design in generating the required primary data and was limited to the employees of DMGP. The study involved 45 technical employees who were conveniently and purposively selected for inclusion in the sample. Collected data was coded then analyzed with the help of SPSS version 23. Findings revealed that employees fear to speak out their inner concerns to supervisors because of insecurity of their job despite having a chance to express their opinions. Results have also indicated that interpersonal conflicts were predominantly solved by involving the conflicted parties. Workers at DMGP prefer more settling job issues with their immediate supervisors than third parties. Also, training and development offered at DMGP has significantly contributed to the performance of employees in different departments. Generally, it was revealed that conflict management has significant contribution to employees’ performance at DMGP. The study recommends to managers to enhance interpersonal relationships amongst co-workers to inculcate trust, unleash communication and consequentially boost morale of the employees.

Este libro es producto del diálogo que se suscitó entre estudiantes de posgrado y destacados académicos e investigadores sobre el tema de desarrollo urbano regional, en el marco del congreso nacional que se llevó a cabo los días 24 y 25 de mayo de 2012 en Pachuca, Hidalgo. Nuevas ideas y visiones del desarrollo urbano regional contribuye a poner esta problemática en el centro del debate nacional, construyendo alternativas teóricas y prácticas que coadyuven a superar la profunda crisis regional que se vive actualmente en todo el país. Con esta publicación se amplía la visión para identificar la problemática en toda su extensión, donde la propuesta central es superar una visión que se enfoca exclusivamente a la denuncia de problemas y pasar al siguiente nivel, plantear soluciones a cada uno de ellos, involucrando las acciones de los gobiernos y los gobernados a través de la búsqueda de diversos modelos, vistos desde perspectivas sistemáticas que sean capaces de predecir y dar respuesta a los problemas que se generan en los diferentes ámbitos del territorio que habitamos. El libro se estructura en tres ejes fundamentales: en el primero encontramos diversos enfoques teórico-metodológicos del desarrollo urbano, rural y regional; en el segundo se destacan temas de población, gobierno y gobernanza regional; y el tercero aborda temas del medio ambiente, ordenación, gestión, riesgos y vulnerabilidad en el ámbito territorial.
Globalización, Migración y Ambiente
Authors: Toledo Ocampo Alejandro
Published: May 2022

El texto propone que el primer paso para la construcción de una sociedad sostenible es la formación de políticas públicas tendientes a la sustentabilidad, a partir de la identificación y valoración de los capitales naturales y sociales críticos del sistema socioecológico mexicano. El segundo es valorar, por un lado, la naturaleza de las amenazas que se ciernen sobre esos capitales en un contexto marcado por la globalización de la economía y la migración internacional; por otro lado, la capacidad del sistema ecológico y social mexicano para hacer frente a los factores externos e internos que lo amenazan. Esto es: apreciar la capacidad de la sociedad para coevolucionar con su ambiente ecológico y social. Y el tercero es ofrecer los elementos pertinentes para enfrentar la tarea urgente de un debate nacional que permita formular políticas públicas que sean capaces de mantener la estabilidad ecológica y social de la sociedad mexicana, a partir de la conservación y el fortalecimiento de estos capitales críticos.

Los estudios de género y acceso a los derechos de la tierra con miras a reducir el hambre y lograr la seguridad alimentaria, son hoy un tema de urgente análisis y explicación. Este artículo tiene el objetivo de contribuir al estudio del acceso de las mujeres a los derechos agrarios y distinguir las diferencias entre ellas como grupo social, lo anterior a partir de un estudio de caso del ejido de Tototlán del Oro, Jalisco. El marco analítico de la Ecología Política Feminista, la Teoría del Acceso de Ribot y Peluso y el enfoque de la interseccionalidad se tomaron como referencia para abordar el objetivo. A partir de métodos cualitativos se analizaron los mecanismos basados en la propiedad y en la identidad social que influyen sobre el acceso diferenciado entre las mujeres a los beneficios de los derechos agrarios. Encontramos que los sesgos de género en la normatividad agraria y en los actores que controlan tal acceso se intersectan con otras categorías sociales, como la edad y la disponibilidad de recursos económicos para articular los derechos de jure y de facto, a la vez que estas diferencias ocasionan una jerarquización social entre las mujeres

Para identificar lo anterior, se utilizó una metodología mixta que analiza la muerte homicida registrada en la prensa local de mayor circulación entre 2012 y 2018.

En la actualidad la prevalencia de obesidad ha ido en aumento en la población mundial, considerándola un problema de salud pública y que no solo genera un elevado costo sanitario, sino también un costo en la calidad de vida de la población (Guerrero, 2010). Y en los últimos años se ha hecho notar que la población universitaria también está siendo afectada y que los factores que están relacionados al padecimiento de obesidad giran en torno al estilo de vida, al autoconcepto, las emociones y los trastornos emocionales que se pueden derivar (Ríos y Rodríguez, 2017). La importancia de considerar estos hábitos en poblaciones jóvenes es porque en la mayoría de los casos estos son permanecen en la edad adulta, por lo que esta población es clave la implementación de promoción y prevención en salud (Sánchez y De Luna, 2015).

En la medida en que la Ciudad de México y diversos estados del país están ubicados en una zona de alta peligrosidad sísmica y que sus poblaciones se ha visto impactadas, con resultados catastróficos, por eventos telúricos de gran magnitud, resulta urgente trabajar desde las instituciones de educación superior en la construcción de una cultura de la prevención con una perspectiva integral y multidisciplinaria. A partir de lo anterior nos hemos propuesto compartir algunas reflexiones y comentar diversas actividades de investigación/docencia y de difusión de la cultura que hemos realizado en la Carrera de Psicología de la Facultad de Estudios Superiores de la UNAM. Como eje de la discusión retomamos el cuestionamiento de Lomitz en el año 2004 respecto de si como sociedad estábamos preparados para un nuevo gran sismo. En cuanto a actividades de investigación se describen algunos trabajos desarrollados alrededor de tema de las representaciones sociales de estudiantes acerca del sismo del 19 de septiembre de 2017, en particular se analiza la presencia del concepto de miedo en esta representación. En cuanto a la función sustantiva de difusión, hacemos referencia a los foros multidisciplinarios que organizamos respecto a la emergencia de diversas problemáticas que se generaron a partir del impacto del sismo. Por último se comentan aspectos de la cultura de la prevención japonesa y se presentan algunas consideraciones finales.
