Hacia una heurística de la pregunta de investigación educativa desde una reflexión epistemológica y hermenéutica
Authors: Díaz Rodríguez Javier Alejandro
Published: June 2024

La adopción de una perspectiva analítica ante el realismo científico y de un fundamento hermenéutico-dialéctico de las preguntas de investigación educativa, ofrece un enfoque crítico en la dimensión epistémica de la educación. Desde de esta perspectiva, y partiendo de una crítica epistemológica como método, se busca un entendimiento cabal de los fenómenos y los procesos pedagógicos a partir de las preguntas investigativas, permitiendo una mayor concientización de las múltiples dimensiones que participan en la configuración de lo educacional. En este sentido, se plantea una propuesta heurística para la formulación de preguntas de investigación con el objetivo de proporcionar una guía práctica-reflexiva que pueda desarrollar una visión crítica y transformadora de la educación. Los pasos fundamentales de esta heurística pueden constituir elementos teóricos para promover un análisis de los problemas educativos y forjar nuevas oportunidades para la acción educacional. Con esta aproximación se busca fomentar una práctica investigativa orientada hacia la transformación social mediante el reconocimiento de la complejidad y la diversidad de perspectivas que conforman el entendimiento pedagógico. En última instancia, la combinación de una mirada crítica al realismo desde lo epistemológico y de un fundamento hermenéutico-dialéctico en la formulación de preguntas de investigación tiene como objetivo contribuir al desarrollo de un conocimiento significativo del proceder educacional en materia investigativa.
La filosofía narrativa de paul ricoeur y su relación con la educación
Authors: Bermúdez Quintero Luis Carlos
Published: June 2024

El artículo aborda la tendencia logocéntrica que se da actualmente en el quehacer educativo, heredada de la tradición positivista, donde la educación se aborda desde procesos lineales y fines a sí mismos, decantándose por procesos que de manera estadística arrojen resultados estandarizados. Este escenario hace posible que la filosofía de Paul Ricoeur proponga nuevas categorías para el quehacer educativo, a partir de abordajes hermenéuticos y fenomenológicos, tendientes más al sentido y significado que se labran a partir de las narrativas que cada actor puede forjar desde su interioridad, en el proceso educacional. La propuesta se enmarca en la necesidad de identificar nuevas líneas de comprensión, análisis e interpretación del fenómeno educativo, brindando así la posibilidad de una propuesta innovadora para el quehacer educativo. Al utilizar la metodología de un artículo de reflexión, se eligieron una serie de textos producidos por Ricoeur, especialmente los que abordan el hecho educativo, así como también artículos relacionados con ese tema. A nivel de resultados se reconoce la filosofía de Paul Ricoeur como una que propone nuevas categorías para la educación, en cuanto que hace posible la comprensión de la acción educativa y su finalidad de formar al sujeto desde la perspectiva ética. En este sentido, se considera que la filosofía de Ricoeur –particularmente la referida al campo educativo-, es un escenario excepcional en cuanto permite la construcción de identidad y por ende siempre en favor de la persona, y no al contrario. Las conclusiones del artículo apuntan a identificar en las dinámicas narrativas, una puerta siempre abierta a la construcción de identidad, de personalidad y por ello de subjetividad siempre dispuesta al reconocimiento del otro y de los contextos en los que es posible formar a la persona humana.
Mas allá del aprendizaje
Authors: De la Herrán Gascón Agustín
Published: June 2024

El ensayo argumenta sobre la tesis de que basar la educación en el aprendizaje es un error radical causado por una conciencia miope. Se trabaja desde la tradición epistemológica centroeuropea, en la que los campos (educación, enseñanza, aprendizaje, formación, currículo, etc.) se diferencian de las disciplinas, y en donde la Pedagogía y la Didáctica General son las Ciencias de la Educación y la enseñanza por antonomasia. Se desarrolla desde el enfoque radical e inclusivo de la educación. Esta perspectiva es distinta y complementaria a la de los paradigmas pedagógicos consensuados (positivista, interpretativo o sociocrítico) y se ha definido como cuarto paradigma. Asume una teoría de la formación de máximos no exenta de utopía, entendida como sangre de la educación. Toma como referencia el concepto/fenómeno de la educación plena. La educación plena incluye tanto la dimensión existencial del ser humano como su dimensión esencial, normalmente desapercibida, desatendida o ninguneada por la Pedagogía y la Didáctica General y los organismos supranacionales que se ocupan de la educación. De ahí el calificativo ‘inclusivo’.

Pediatric Emergencies: Guidelines for Recognizing and Responding to Common Pediatric Emergencies Like Choking, Drowning, and Allergic Reactions
Authors: Awad Ahmad Mahmoud Abdelhafez , Alfaqih Ibrahim Ismail Ibrahim
Published: June 2024

As suffocation, drowning, and allergic reactions are very dangerous, children should be helped immediately. This article contains many useful tips on how to handle emergencies with immature children. Immediately help a choking child with the Heimlich maneuver. Hit the child once on the chest and once on the back or choose a procedure more appropriate for her age. This person cannot speak, breathe, or exhale. Check for breathing and if not, start CPR. Thanks to this they will be able to leave the sea more quickly and safely. Many children die from accidental drowning. Issues that arise during post-rescue care need to be closely monitored. An allergic reaction can cause anaphylactic shock, hives, or difficulty breathing. If a person experiences anaphylaxis, administer epinephrine immediately and call 911. To avoid problems, train your employees, avoid allergens, and have a backup plan. The best approach when a child encounters difficulties is one that takes preparation, speed, and overall learning into account. Understanding illnesses, being able to recognize symptoms, and knowing what to do can help doctors and other childcare providers deal with everyday situations more effectively.

The movie ‘Openheimer’ only brought the issue of atom bomb in limelight for general public. For the academicians, the memories of the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) of Princeton University, United States were also refreshed. It was here Albert Einstein was present as a visiting faculty & Openheimer met him here in the United States. In the early part of 20th century (1900-1930), USA witnessed vast development of biomedical science which impacted the way clinical & research were conceptualized & done. This development was largely attributed to the restructuring of research universities following the Flexner report of 1910. Abraham Flexner (1866-1959) was a John Hopkins trained science administrator & politician. His report written in commission for the Carnegie Foundation for the advancement of teaching in Washington DC had a major & negative influence on the Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM) systems of which Homoeopathy was a leading therapeutic system. The Flexner report is a document of 364 pages where there are two chapters. The first part is the introduction section on page 7 to 18. The first chapter has 14 sections consisting of 173 pages. The second chapter is about the conditions of medical schools in 40 states of USA. The appendix is from pages 327 to 336. The page number 337 has the index. The article discusses the lasting impact of the report & serious effects of closing of many Complementary & Alternative Medicine (CAM) hospitals, teaching institutions/colleges & medical teaching programs out of which Homoeopathy was a leading therapeutic system. Homoeopathy suffered the most as a result of the Flexner’s report.

Published: June 2024

As the elderly population increases the domain of geriatric psychiatry is developing. Senior patients have unique clinical presentations and coexisting medical conditions necessitating a thorough assessment and treatment plan. We aimed to investigate how residents at the Ibn Nafis University Psychiatric Center in Marrakech (Morocco) prescribe psychotropic drugs to elderly patients. We also explored the recommendations offered by research for the treatment of psychiatric disorders in this citizenry. A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed. Seventeen psychiatry residents at the Ibn Nafis University Psychiatric Hospital made up the research population. A survey in French was provided to every resident for completion. The collected data was processed using Microsoft Excel 2019. We found that 38% of the residents used typical antipsychotics, 81% used atypical antipsychotics and 94% used benzodiazepines in the event of agitation. For Major Depressive Disorder MDD 72% prescribed Sertraline. For anxiety disorders sertraline was prescribed by 56% of the sample. Of the medications prescribed by the residents risperidone was selected the most frequently by 77%. Alprazolam was found to be prescribed by 56% in cases of insomnia. The study emphasizes the need of a tailored therapeutic approach for elderly patients. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) especially sertraline, atypical antipsychotics especially risperidone, anxiolytics especially hydroxyzine and alprazolam are preferred by residents at Ibn Nafis University Psychiatric Center over other psychotropics in the context of older adults. This work also highlights the value of weighing each medications benefit-risk ratio. Prescription of psychotropic medications to elderly patients ought to be tailored to their particular requirements and present health status. Etiologic treatment, the minimum effective dose and monotherapy ought to take precedence over symptomatic treatment. Additionally ............

Background: Since the pandemic of COVID-19 started from December 2019, remarkable numbers of infections and deaths associated with COVID-19 have been recorded worldwide. Chronic kidney disease patients are particularly at high risk of infections due to impairments in the innate and adaptive immune systems. Adequate humoral (antibody) and cellular (T cell-driven) immunity are required to minimize pathogen entry and promote pathogen clearance to enable infection control. Vaccination can generate cellular and humoral immunity against this specific pathogen. COVID-19 prevention through successful vaccination is therefore paramount in chronic kidney disease population. But vaccination efficacy is diminished in these patients because premature ageing of the immune system and chronic systemic low-grade inflammation are the main causes of immune alteration in these patients. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to establish a different vaccination strategy for chronic kidney disease and dialysis patient in terms of the dose and administration time. Aims: This study aimed to the assessment of antibody titers after vaccination against SARS-COV-2 in patients with chronic kidney disease stages 4, 5 on conservative management and maintenance haemodialysis. Methods: This prospective observational comparative study was conducted in the Nephrology department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

Malaria is transmitted to humans through the bite of the female anopheles mosquito vector. Malaria is still a disease that affects tropical and subtropical countries worldwide. In Indonesia, malaria is still one of the health problems, especially in some endemic areas; the number of malaria cases is still relatively high. This study aims to determine the hematological profile of malaria patients at Budi Mulia Bitung Hospital in North Sulawesi from May 2022 to May 2023. This study was descriptive with a cross-sectional research design conducted at Budi Mulia Bitung Hospital, North Sulawesi. Data came from laboratory data of positive malaria patients with malaria Rapid Diagnostic Test examination and thin/thick smears and the results of routine hematological examinations with a purposive sampling technique. The data were interpreted according to the results obtained. The results showed that of the 56 patients who suffered from malaria, it was found that males were more infected with malaria, namely 33 people (58.9%), while women were 23 people (41.1%). Most malaria sufferers are from the adult age group (18-45 years), as many as 25 people (44.6%). It was also found that of the 56 malaria patients, 52 people (92.8%) had leukocyte counts within normal limits, two people (3.6%) had leukocytosis, and two people (3.6%) had leukopenia. Erythrocytes with average numbers in malaria patients were found to be 35 (62.5%), and 21 (37.5%) had low erythrocyte counts. Normal hemoglobin levels in malaria patients were found in 40 people (71.4), and 16 (28.6%) had anemia. Malaria patients with thrombocytopenia were 46 people (82.1%), and normal platelets were ten people (17.9%). Conclusion: The incidence of malaria is dominated by male patients, and mostly in adulthood (18-45 years), infected with Plasmodium vivax with a decrease in the number ........

Chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is a disease of the elderly, and by far the most frequent overlap myelodysplastic/ myeloproliferative neoplasm in adults. Aside from the chronic monocytosis in both peripheral blood and bone marrow that remains the cornerstone of its diagnosis, the clinical presentation of CMML includes dysplastic features, cytopenias, excess of blasts, or myeloproliferative features including high white blood cell count or splenomegaly. Prognosis is variable, with several prognostic scoring systems reported in recent years, and treatment is poorly defined. Pleural effusion in patients with CMML is a rare occurrence and poorly understood. We report a rare case of CMML patient presenting with pleural effusion as the first clinical sign.

Introduction: Follicular dendritic cell tumors (CDF tumors) are rare, it is an uncommon neoplasm derived from non-lymphoid accessory cells of peripheral lymphoid tissue. FDCS is grouped with histiocytic neoplasms and dendritic cell neoplasms in the World Health Organization tumor classification. Observation: We report the case of a 37-year-old patient followed for dendritic follicular cell sarcoma of the epithelioid type of the left amygdala. He underwent surgical removal of the left tonsil, followed by chemotherapy such as Cyclophosmide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisolone (CHOP) and radiation therapy at the 60 Gy dose. Discussion: FDC sarcoma is an uncommon neoplasm of antigen-presenting cells of B-cell follicles of lymphoid organs. According to the World Health Organization’s classification of hematopoietic and lymphoid tumors, FDCS belong to histiocytic and dendritic cell neoplasms. The appearance of follicular dendritic cell sarcoma of the amygdala, in an extra lymph node site, as occurred in our patient has rarely been observed. Histologically, FDCT cells appear as strands with a storiform, verticillated, and prominent pattern. On the immunohistochemistry level, we note the positivity of antibodies CD21, CD23 or CD35. Treatment is based on broad surgical excision followed by adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, these complementary treatments have not contributed to long-term survival. The evolution is marked by local or metastatic recurrences. Conclusion: Although rare, dendritic follicular cell sarcomas of epithelial type may have as a starting point the head and neck region, lymphoid, and extra ganglion sites.

stoplasmosis is a deep cosmopolitan mycosis due to dimorphic fungi belonging to the genus Histoplasma. We distinguish the American histoplasmosis, with small form due to Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum (H. capsulatum), and large-form African histoplasmosis, due to H. duboisii. The latter is endemic in West and Central Africa and Madagascar. African histoplasmosis is a rare deep mycosis, due to Histoplasma Capsulatum var.duboisii. Clinical presentation may be localized with isolated infections of the skin, bones or lymph nodes or disseminated with multiple skin lesions present throughout the body, subcutaneous abscesses, enlarged lymph nodes, liver and spleen, and enlargement of visceral organs. It has diagnostic similarities with pathologies such as lymph node tuberculosis, cutaneous cryptococcosis and certain malignant diseases of the skeleton. The disease sometimes poses therapeutic difficulties. We report a histoplasmosis case at Histoplasma Capsulatum var.duboisii, with multiple localization in a 22-year-old student.

Electricity is essential in modern life, but damaged power lines cause thousands of electrocutions in India every year. To fix a damaged power line, the power supply is turned off, and a fuse controller is placed on the electric feeder. If the fuse controller trips on a broken wire, the electricity is cut off until the damage is located. This process can be time-consuming and requires resources. This research aims to design a IoT based control system to reduce the time for repairing broken electrical lines and prevent accidents by adopting measures to expedite the repair process, enhance safety, and optimize maintenance efficiency. LoRa devices are installed every 1 km along the cable for a total range of 10 km. A central tower marks the halfway point. A single LoRa device at the tower may be more cost-effective than multiple devices at each pole. A control circuit embedded by transistor and diode safeguard the circuit's integrity and ensure current flows in a single direction, protecting it if a wire between two poles is damaged. After locating damage to a pole, an email is sent to the relevant authority, including location, pole number, and incident time. An automatic alarm will sound when electricity is turned off, warning the public of the danger. Additionally, this system saves time and resources, and is cost-effective.

As internações hospitalares por mioma uterino representam um aspecto significativo da saúde reprodutiva feminina, destacando a prevalência e o impacto clínico dessa condição. Miomas uterinos, também conhecidos como fibromas, são tumores benignos que se formam na musculatura do útero, afetando uma grande parcela das mulheres em idade reprodutiva. Embora muitas mulheres com miomas não apresentem sintomas, uma porção significativa enfrenta complicações que podem necessitar de hospitalização, como sangramento menstrual intenso, dor pélvica severa e anemia grave. As internações por mioma uterino não apenas refletem a necessidade de intervenções médicas e cirúrgicas, mas também apontam para questões mais amplas relacionadas ao acesso aos cuidados de saúde, disparidades socioeconômicas e à eficácia das estratégias de prevenção e tratamento. Compreender os fatores que levam à hospitalização por miomas é crucial para melhorar os cuidados oferecidos e promover a saúde das mulheres de forma abrangente. O objetivo deste trabalho foi traçar o perfil epidemiológico das internações causadas por mioma uterino no período de 2019 a 2023, com intuito de identificar flutuações na prevalência e populações mais vulneráveis para a prevenção e controle desta enfermidade. Este é um estudo de séries temporais, que usou dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH) do DATASUS. Essa fonte abrangente oferece uma visão detalhada das internações causadas por miomas uterinos no Brasil. Neste estudo, demostramos um aumento de 32% nas internações causadas por mioma uterino no Brasil, com o nordeste sendo responsável pela maioria das internações e custos hospitalares. Além disso, identificamos que mulheres, pardas, com idade entre 40 a 49 anos, foram as principais afetadas. Para enfrentar esse desafio, é necessário um enfoque multifacetado que inclua prevenção, diagnóstico precoce, tratamento eficaz e políticas públicas que promovam a saúde da mulher de forma abrangente. Dessa forma, será possível não apenas reduzir as internações, mas também melhorar significativamente a qualidade de vida das mulheres afetadas por essa condição.
