Introduction. In Mexico, a National Mental Health Strategy was implemented to identify and attend the mental health repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic. It included the creation of five virtual clinics for health workers, being the Burnout, Post-traumatic Stress and Compassion Fatigue clinic one of them. Objective. To describe the basal sociodemographic and psychological characteristics of health workers attending online mindfulness sessions as part of the treatment of the aforementioned clinic. Method. This is a cross-sectional report part of a major nationwide and longitudinal project. All attendants responded to digital sociodemographics and COVID-19 questionnaires, the Extended Physician Well-Being Index (EPWBI), and the Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) TOP-8 index. Results. Of the 507 health workers that participated, 70.02% of them were at risk of burnout according to the Extended Well-Being Index and 57.31, 7.91 and 2.77% had a mild, moderate, and severe risk of PTSD, respectively. The most affected were the female health workers, from metropolitan or central areas of the country, and those diagnosed with COVID-19 or exposed to a person with the diagnosis. Discussion and conclusion. Mexican health workers attending mindfulness sessions presented high frequencies of PTSD symptoms and burnout. Female workers at urban hospitals could be at a special risk for developing PTSD or Well-ness alterations, and thus, they must be cared for closely, particularly those having direct contact with COVID 19 positive persons. The early participation in mental health strategies might lessen the immediate and long-term pandemic effects.

Published: December 2020

Introduction. Frontline COVID-19 healthcare workers (FLHCWs) are at a high-risk of suffering occupational stress- and trauma-related mental health problems, including burnout and compassion fatigue (B&CF). Given the time limitations (due to their heavy workloads) and need to minimize face-to-face interventions (in order to avoid contagions), psychological interventions for FHCWs should be as brief and remote as possible. Objective. To evaluate the usability and clarity of evidence-based psycho-educational videos to prevent B&CF, to deal with uncooperative, hostile, and anxious patients and relatives, and to use personal protective equipment (PPE), from the perspective of Mexican FLHCWs. Method. Based on a convenience sampling by intensity approach, videos were distributed requesting feedback based on specific questions through WhatsApp to FLHCWs. Field notes were used to triangulate the information. Results. Content analysis of feedback from a final sample of 24 participants ‒75% women, 42 ± 8.4 years old‒ yielded three general thematic categories and seven subthemes: 1. content evaluation, which included three subthemes: utility, pertinence, and practicality; 2. dissemination and other needs, with two subcategories: willingness to share and receive more videos (other needs); and 3. format aspects, also comprising two subthemes: attractiveness and duration. All participants found the videos content very beneficial, relevant, and applicable to the workplace and even in their everyday personal and family life, and were willing to share them and to receive more videos on other issues, including strategies to manage problems related to isolation. Discussion and conclusion. Escalation of this remote preventive intervention to other COVID-19 centers and future similar epidemics is recommended.
F.M. DOSTOEVSKY AND N.S. LESKOV ABOUT THE NATIONAL IDEAL: POINTS OF CONTIGUITY AND ALIANATE
Authors: Chernova М.
Published: December 2020

The article deals with the main stages of the ideological divergence of FM. Dostoevsky and N.S. Leskov on the question of the national ideal and Orthodoxy, noted the fundamental differences in their attitude to the people and the people’s faith, which excludes the possibility of ideological and creative convergences. The article emphasizes that the problem of nationality has become central to Russian literature, criticism and journalism. In the second half of the XIX century it was the subject of not only aesthetic, but, primarily, ideological discussions, in which F.M. Dostoevsky and N.S. Leskov took an active part. These writers were united by an interest in the life of the Russian people and the comprehension of the national ideal. Both writers recognized the duality of the Russian character, which combined bizarrely the good and the evil, the sinful and the righteous. However, Dostoevsky believed that the Russian people would never accept “their sin as truth”, and determined the popular faith as a religious ideal, Leskov called the Russian people heretic and associated his moral consciousness with the need for knowledge of God. If the national ideal seemed to Dostoevsky as the basis on which it is possible to unite the whole nation, then Leskov, on the contrary, was far from looking for the embodiment of the highest moral and religious values in national life. In addition, differences in the attitude to official Orthodoxy and the Orthodox Church became a serious basis for the ideological, and later personal differences between Dostoevsky and Leskov. But while for the author of The Brothers Karamazov, church traditions and the religious-mystical meaning of the “Russian faith” always had a determining meaning, then Leskov ultimately came to sermon of non-confessional Christianity and the idea of personal righteousness. The article proves that ideological differences in the interpretation of the nationality were the main reason not only for the lack of dialogue between writers, but also for the mutual rejection of each other’s work.
AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL WORKS BY ALENA VASILEVICH ‘WAIT, STAY AND …’ AND IVAN NAVUMENKA ‘CHILDHOOD. TEENAGER. YOUTH’: FEATURES OF CREATING MEANING AND STRUCTURE
Authors: Sharapava A.
Published: December 2020

The paper deals with semantic and structural features of texts of autobiographical nature on the example of works of Belarusian authors Alena Vasilevich and Ivan Navumenka. It is stated that the mentioned pieces of work, entering the context of documentary literature, have long-standing historical and literary traditions, recreate the time period and the personality in it. The works by Vasilevich and Navumenka have common determining features: in terms of the content, the saturation with semantic elements with the meaning “memory”, “time”, “path of life”; attention to certain periods of a child’s life; in terms of form – variations in the presentation of the form of the narrator’s person; the use of various forms of time with a predominance of the present; lyricism and subjectivity of the narration. However, each of the texts has its own original features, which is explained by the peculiarities of the authors’ style, as well as the time when the works were written.
MUSICALISATION OF J. BUNYAN’S AND H. SKOVORODA’S LITERARY DISCOURSE
Authors: Shykyrynska O.
Published: December 2020

The article deals with the musical space of the artistic heritage of J. Bunyan and H. Skovoroda that has many common features. The general place in the heritage of both writers is reference to solemn church or angelic singing, accompanying the scenes of triumph of the heroes. There are numerous quotations from the Bible psalms, that both writers mastered perfectly. Outplaying of the mythologemes “a man as a musical instrument” and “a world as a musical instrument” became common for both authors. Musical code is expressed in comparison with man’s features and musical sounds; assimilation of the world with a musical instrument, desire to hear “the music of spheres”. The comparison of a man’s emotional impulse with the sounds of musical instruments reveals willingness of the man of the Baroque age for the search of correspondence and for the synthesis of arts in a broad sense. Music as an art differs in the ability to reveal symbols by means of a sound, having a significant influence on the recipient. The analysis of musical component of H. Skovoroda and J. Bunyan’s work demonstrates its precise orientation on musicalisation of writers’ discourse. In the meantime musical theme is represented much wider in Skovoroda’s work than in the work of the English writer. The article introduces J. Bunyan and H. Skovoroda as bright representatives of national variants of baroque aesthetics.
Image and sport: exhibition of brazilian athletes on the instagram social network
Authors: Oliveira Vivian de , Tertuliano Ivan Wallan , Montiel José Maria , Bartholomeu Daniel , Machado Afonso Antonio
Published: December 2020

Background: Social networks have changed the dynamics of society in communication, commercial and social relations, advertising, among others. In sports, this would not be different. Along with this, the new media open up new possibilities for exploration of the image of the athlete, since traditional media conduct different treatments for male and female athletes. Objective: To verify the posts made on Instagram by Brazilian athletes and to verify if there are differences related to the gender of the athletes in the contents posted. Methods: The subjects selected for this research were Brazilian athletes and medalists of the 2012 Summer Olympics. The data were obtained through the collection of the images that the athletes posted on the Instagram and after that, the analysis of the images were made with the use of a checklist created for that study. Results: The results indicated that male and female did not present differences between categories of posted images. The most common type of images posted are the images in which the athlete is present, in places related to their work and in moments of relaxation. It also highlights the fact that most of the images posted do not make any reference to the sponsorships of the athletes. Conclusion: Therefore, it can be concluded that male and female have the same behavior of photo posting on social networks. It is also observed that the potential of social networks for advertising is still little explored by Brazilian athletes. Due to the originality of this work and because it seems to be a very pertinent theme in the present day, it is suggested the extension of this study.

Published: December 2020

Erken çocukluk eğitimi olarak da adlandırılan okul öncesi eğitim, her anlamda çocuğun gelişimine katkı sağlayan önemli etaplardan biri olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu dönem aynı zamanda çocuğun dini açıdan gelişim gösterdiği bir dönemdir. Dolaysıyla çocukta anaokulu eğitimi dönemi ile dini gelişim gösterdiği dönem kesişmektedir. Bu süreçte din eğitiminin nasıl yapılacağı konusu ortaya çıkmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, gerekircilik ilkesi doğrultusunda erken dönem çocukların gelişim özelliklerinin, okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarında anaokulu özelinde, din eğitimi verilmesine yeterli nedensellik oluşturup oluşturmadığını ortaya koymaktır. Bu bağlamda gelişim özellikleri çerçevesinde çocuğun din eğitimine uygunluk durumu irdelenmiştir. Ayrıca dünden bu güne okul öncesi eğitimin tarihi serüveni, diğer ülkelerdeki mevcut okul öncesi eğitim kurumları ve bu ülkelerdeki erken dönem çocukların din eğitim uygulamaları irdelenmiş, ülkemizdeki okul öncesi din eğitimi uygulamaları ile karşılaştırma yapma olanağı sunulmuştur. Araştırma sonucu elde edilen bulgular neticesinde okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarında din eğitimi verilmesinin, çocuğun genel ve dini gelişim özelliklerine uygun olduğu, diğer ülke uygulamaları ile tarihi temellerimizin bunu desteklediğini belirtmek mümkündür.

Статья посвящена определению микробиоты полости рта и ее различиям у больных с плоскоклеточным раком слизистой полости рта и здоровых людей. Также дан обзор литературы по данной проблеме. Согласно полученным собственным данным выявлено, что у пациентов с опухолями орофарингеальной зоны суммарное количество анаэробных бактерий, выделенных с поверхности опухоли и слизистых полости рта было достоверно выше, чем аэробных бактерий и грибов (58 % против 42 %, p ≤ 0,0001). Наиболее частым микроорганизмом в группе пациентов с опухолями орофарингеальной области был Prevotella spp. который высевался достоверно чаще, чем у здоровых лиц (35,9 % против 4,0 % соответственно, p < 0,0001). Также в группе больных с опухолями достоверно чаще, чем у здоровых лиц высевали Fusobacterium spp. (14,7 % против 0 %, соответственно, p < 0,0001) и Porphyromonas spp. (5,9 % против 0 %, p < 0,002). Veillonella spp. напротив, высевали чаще в контрольной группе нежели в группе больных с опухолями (42 % против 16,5 %, соответственно, p < 0,001). Среди аэробных микроорганизмов, в обеих группах превалировали Streptococcus spp. (52,0 % против 65,9 %). Разница в частоте их выделения недостоверна (p > 0,05). В контрольной группе значимо чаще выделялись Neisseria spp. (p < 0,05), а в группе больных с опухолями слизистой полости рта Candida spp. (p < 0,01), хотя абсолютные значения были не столь велики (14–16 штаммов каждого вида в совокупности). Выявленные в биоматериалах от больных с опухолями микробы отражали наличие дисбиоза в микробиоте полости рта. В то же время, являются ли выделенные микроорганизмы одними из этиологических агентов развития плоскоклеточного рака слизистой оболочки полости рта, нуждается в более глубоком изучении.
Flash-flooding of Ephemeral Streams in the Context of Climate Change
Authors: Camarasa-Belmonte Ana M.
Published: December 2020

Ephemeral streams, which are more extended than expected, entail a significant flood risk. Historically they have been underestimated due to their intermittent flow and the lack of knowledge on their hydro-geomorphology. Currently, European legislation recognizes their associated risk and supports research into them, adapting the scale and methodology to their characteristics. Based on the compilation of various works carried out in four Valencian catchments (Eastern Spain), this paper approaches the key questions of rainfall-runoff conversion and flood generation in ephemeral streams, taking into account their hydro-geomorphological specificity. Moreover, the consequences which derive from current environmental changes are addressed in the wider scale of Júcar River Water Authority.The study is based on 5-minute data, registered by the SAIH-Júcar network (Authomatic Hydrological Information System). The investigation has been conducted in two phases. Firstly, key issues determining flash-flood generation at basin scale have been addressed, based on the study of 138 floods, registered between 1989 and 2018, in four Valencian ephemeral streams (Barranc del Carraixet, Rambla de Poyo, Riu Vernissa and Rambla de Gallinera). Secondly, concerning a broader scale (Júcar River Water Authority), the evolution of 698 rain episodes (1989-2007) has been analysed. Finally, the consequences that environmental changes (climatic, anthropogenic and morphogenetic) might mean for flash-flood generation have been discussed.The results show how environmental changes point towards an increase in risk to the detriment of resource. Rain episodes tend to increase in intensity and decrease accumulated precipitation. As a consequence, hydrological connectivity will become more dependent on rain intensity, thus reducing runoff thresholds and basin response times. Anthropic changes enhance this behaviour, reducing infiltration and increasing surface runoff and erosion, while accelerating the hydrological cycle. An increase in process-form disequilibrium in Mediterranean catchments can be expected due to the increase in morphogenetic phases (because of the intensification of events) and a decrease in the efficiency of low-magnitude recovery episodes.Consequently, the behaviour of ephemeral-streams under current climate change conditions points firstly to an increase in intense flash-flood events, which will be difficult to manage with the current flood control measures, and secondly an increase in the general aridity conditions of catchments.
Abnormal Use of Personal Pronouns in Sign Language of Autistic Deaf Children
Authors: Li Yangyang
Published: December 2020

Abnormal use of personal pronouns is an important feature of autistic children's oral development. After comparing autistic deaf children with autistic children and deaf children respectively, it is found that pronoun avoidance also exists in the sign language development of autistic deaf children, but pronoun reversal rarely occurs. In pronoun avoidance, the sign language performance of autistic deaf children is more similar to that of autistic children than deaf children, which is more likely to be due to autistic children's own disorders than differences in language forms.  Different from autistic children and deaf children, autistic deaf children have their own unique performance in pronoun reversal: palm reversal. The reason may be that the disorder of personal pronoun reversal in autistic children may have different performance due to differences in language forms.

Published: December 2020

The research had two objectives; 1) to explore teachers’ belief about the use of full English during learning activities, and 2) to determine the factors that affected the use of full English in teaching English to teach English to young learners. Embedded mixed method was used in this study. The quantitative data were gained by distributing 1 set of closed-response questionnaire item to 38 teachers of English who teach English at elementary schools in Palembang, a capital city of South Sumatera Province, Indonesia. Meanwhile, the qualitative data were gained from one-to-one in depth interview to 15 teachers of English who were willing to be interviewed. Students’ responses to each questionnaire item were analyzed by using descriptive statistics analysis by Employing SPSS program. Meanwhile, the qualitative data gained from the interview were analyzed by using thematic analysis. It was revealed from the study that first, teachers shared positive belief about the use of full English while teaching English in the class. Secondly, there are five factors that affected the use of full English during learning activities; 1) The English Proficiency of the teachers; 2) School Policy; 3) The homogeneous level of students’ language performance 4) Teacher’s classroom management skills and 5) Students’ attitude toward English.

China is at a disadvantage in the export in cultural industries. There is a huge gap between China and countries like Japan, Europe and the United States and other countries regarding the animation industry. Therefore, it is necessary to learn the experience and technology of advanced countries to improve ourselves, not only to improve the animation production capacity of China, but also to enhance cultural influence in the international community.
Reverse Bite and Dislocation: A Study on the Communication of Yu Hua's To Live by We Media
Authors: Yu Qingqing
Published: December 2020

Based on the amount of readers’ reading and clicks, the power of article creation of We Media has shifted significantly from author to reader, the market mechanism formed by the readers’ preferences bite the author’s creation space. Taking Yu Hua’s To Live as an example to analyze We-Media writings, it can be found that the confidence of the novel text and Yu Hua’s image have been obviously misplaced, and the space of creation and communication has been reversed. In the form of quotations for the public through consumption experience, the original text is cut and stitched together to becomes the chicken soup for the soul in the late night, and Yu Hua is portrayed as a “punster”. It is undeniable that the communication of works by We Media has the advantages that traditional media cannot reach. The techniques and social relations that We Media communication relies on are worthy of the development of traditional media.

Język krytyki artystycznej a pojęcia estetyki Mieczysława Wallisa
Authors: Kazimierska-Jerzyk Wioletta
Published: December 2020

Artykuł poświęcony jest działalności Mieczysława Wallisa jako krytyka sztuki, zarówno jego tekstom publikowanym w gazetach codziennych, jak i czasopismach kulturalnych lub naukowych. Uwzględnione zostały recenzje wystaw i publikacji poświęconych sztuce, teksty okolicznościowe, jubileuszowe oraz krótkie wspomnienia. Najpierw przedstawiono wszechstronną edukację i interdyscyplinarne zainteresowania filozofa. Następnie omówiono jego teksty z zakresu krytyki artystycznej z podziałem na sztukę tradycyjną i nowoczesną. Ważnym historycznym punktem zwrotnym jest tutaj II wojna światowa, w której Wallis stracił cały swój dorobek. W związku z tym próbował odtworzyć wiele prac, co nie pozwoliło mu zająć się wszystkim, czym się aktualnie interesował. Ponadto w artykule podkreślono elementy wyróżniające Wallisa jako krytyka, są to: odważne decyzje terminologiczne i aksjologiczne, obszerny katalog wartości estetycznych, rehabilitacja pogardzanych zjawisk, obrona sztuki współczesnej, zmysłowy opis przedmiotów. Zwrócono także uwagę na to, jak dziedziny semiotyki i psychologii uprawiane w dojrzałej fazie twórczości wpłynęły na jego krytykę artystyczną. Ostatnia część tekstu jest poświęcona refleksji metakrytycznej.
Muzyka – obraz – synestezja? Wokół wczesnych prac Zofii Lissy (i artystycznych wizualizacji muzyki)
Authors: Śniecikowska Beata
Published: December 2020

Punkt wyjścia artykułu stanowią wczesne teksty muzykolożki, Zofii Lissy, skupione wokół nieanalizowanej szerzej przez komentatorów jej prac problematyki wizualizacji muzyki. Opisywane wrażenia percepcyjne uznaje badaczka za wspólny wszystkim odbiorcom sposób przestrzennego doświadczania utworów muzycznych. Opisy Lissy zestawiane są w artykule z dzisiejszymi ustaleniami z zakresu neuronauki; analizuje się je w świetle badań nad doświadczeniami synestezyjnymi oraz użyciem metaforyki pseudosynestezyjnej. Druga część szkicu poświęcona jest deskrypcji artefaktów opartych m.in. na wizualizacji muzyki – pomysły badawcze muzykolożki konfrontowane są tu z praktyką artystyczną w dziedzinie szczególnie interesującego Lissę filmu awangardowego (The Eye and the Ear Franciszki i Stefana Themersonów) oraz mniej przez nią cenionych (w kontekście związków z muzyką) „statycznych dzieł artystycznych sfery wzrokowej” (ilustracje Marty Ignerskiej do tekstu Anny Czerwińskiej-Rydel w książce Wszystko gra).
The Amount and Usefulness of Written Corrective Feedback Across Different Educational Contexts and Levels
Authors: Lira-Gonzales Maria-Lourdes , Nassaji Hossein
Published: December 2020

This study examined and compared different written corrective feedback techniques used by English as a second language (ESL) teachers in three different educational contexts and levels (primary, secondary, and college) in Quebec, Canada. In particular, it examined whether there were any differences in the types of errors made, the kind and degree of feedback provided, as well as the students’ ability to incorporate the feedback while revising their texts. Data were collected at the three aforementioned contexts from six ESL teachers in their intact classes when they corrected their students’ (N = 128) written essays (drafts and revisions). Results revealed an important difference across the three levels in terms of students’ errors, teachers’ feedback, and students’ revisions. They showed that (a) while grammatical errors were made more frequently by primary students, lexical errors were made more frequently by college students; (b) primary and secondary students received more direct than indirect feedback, while college students received more indirect feedback; (c) the secondary and college students were more successful in incorporating the feedback into their revisions than primary students.

La présente étude a examiné et comparé plusieurs techniques de rétroactions correctives écrites utilisées par des enseignants d’anglais langue seconde (ALS) dans trois contextes et niveaux d’éducation différents (primaire, secondaire et collégial) au Québec, au Canada. En particulier, elle a examiné s’il existait des différences dans les types d’erreurs qui étaient faites, quelle sorte et quel niveau de rétroaction étaient fournis ainsi que la capacité des élèves à intégrer la rétroaction lorsqu’ils révisaient leurs textes. On a recueilli des données dans les trois contextes susmentionnés auprès de six enseignants d’ALS dans leurs classes intactes lorsqu’ils corrigeaient les rédactions (brouillons et révisions) de leurs élèves (N = 128). Les résultats ont révélé une différenc importante dans les trois niveaux en ce qui concerne les erreurs des élèves, la rétroaction des enseignants et les révisions des élèves. Les résultats ont montré que (a), alors que les élèves de primaire faisaient plus d’erreurs grammaticales, les élèves de collège faisaient plus d’erreurs lexicales; (b) les élèves de primaire et de secondaire recevaient plus de rétroaction directe qu’indirecte, alors que les élèves de collège recevaient plus de rétroaction indirecte; (c) les élèves de secondaire et de collège réussissaient mieux à incorporer la rétroaction dans leurs révisions que les élèves de primaire.
Investigating EAP Teachers’ Use and Perceptions of Gesture in General and in Corrective Feedback Episodes
Authors: Kartchava Eva , Mohamed Abdizalon
Published: December 2020

This exploratory study examined the spontaneous use of gestures occurring in general as well as the corrective behaviour of two English for academic purposes (EAP) teachers at a Canadian university. Data were collected by way of an interview, lesson observation, and a stimulated recall session. Prior to the observation, each teacher was interviewed to identify practices (as they relate to gesture and CF) they found effective and employed regularly in their teaching. After the lesson, the teachers watched extracts from their lessons to reflect on the use of gestures in general and in CF episodes specifically, and to explain the motivations and/or reasons behind their choices. Results indicate that the EAP teachers actively used gestures, with many occurring alongside CF moves. They were also strategic in the amount and types of both CF and gesture they used.

Cette étude exploratoire a examiné l’utilisation spontanée de gestes qui se produit en général ainsi que dans le cadre de comportement correctif chez deux enseignants d’anglais académique (EAP) d’une université canadienne. Des données ont été recueillies au moyen d’entrevues, d’observation de cours et d’une session de rappel stimulé. Avant de procéder à l’observation, chaque enseignant a fait l’objet d’une entrevue pour identifier les pratiques (en ce qu’elles avaient trait à la gestuelle et à la rétroaction corrective) qu’ils trouvaient utiles et employaient régulièrement quand ils enseignent. Après la leçon, les enseignants ont visionné des extraits de leur leçon afin de réfléchir à l’utilisation de gestes en général et lors de la rétroaction corrective en particulier, ainsi que pour expliquer les motivations et/ou les raisons qui sous-tendaient leurs choix. Les résultats indiquent que les enseignants d’EAP utilisaient la gestuelle de façon active, dont une grande partie se produisait en même temps que les gestes de rétroaction corrective. La quantité et le type de gestuelle et de rétroaction corrective étaient utilisés de façon stratégique.
Los centros históricos y la planificación urbana en Costa Rica
Authors: Chang-Albizurez Dominique , Malavassi-Aguilar Rosa Elena
Published: December 2020

Este artículo expone los primeros resultados del análisis del marco jurídico existente para la gestión de Centros Históricos como parte del territorio, en particular el caso de Liberia, como parte del proyecto “Línea base para la gestión sostenible del Centro Histórico de la ciudad de Liberia.” El trabajo realiza un breve análisis documental y una revisión sistemática de las leyes, reglamentos y jurisprudencia al respecto de los centros históricos como bienes patrimoniales y recursos del territorio desde la potestad municipal de establecer instrumentos legales de ordenación de su territorio y planificación urbana.

Siguiendo la pirámide de Kelsen sobre la jerarquización del sistema normativo se seleccionaron las leyes, los decretos y reglamentos ejecutivos, así como la jurisprudencia relacionados con el patrimonio como parte del territorio, para este trabajo no se consideraron los tratados y convenciones internacionales sobre patrimonio ya que esto se ha abordado de manera exhaustiva en otros proyectos. 

El aporte de este artículo es identificar el marco jurídico que da sustento a la reglamentación municipal como instrumento de gestión para los Centros Históricos como una herramienta más de conservación del patrimonio.
Retos del diseño arquitectónico, urbano y paisajista dentro de los nuevos modelos económicos
Authors: Chaverri-Flores Laura
Published: December 2020

En nuestra sociedad capitalista contemporánea existe una tendencia a la autodestrucción respaldada por el dominio del hombre sobre la naturaleza. Los parques nacionales, las ciudades y la arquitectura se han convertido en objetos de consumo. El objetivo de este trabajo es identificar consecuencias, retos y alternativas para el diseño urbano, paisajístico y arquitectónico en el sistema económico neoliberal. En cuanto a la metodología, se realizaron diferentes revisiones bibliográficas de autores de diversas disciplinas como la economía, la geografía y la arquitectura, y en particular ciertas obras de Franz Hinkelammert, quién compara el capitalismo con una nueva religión del mercado que conlleva a la autodestrucción. Además, se ejemplifica la argumentación con algunos casos de estudio concretos y se genera un diálogo y reflexión en torno a la repercusión que ha tenido el sistema económico neoliberal en la ciudad y el paisaje, donde la propiedad privada se encuentra por encima del espacio público. Se realiza un análisis de los centros comerciales que simbolizan los nuevos templos de la religión neoliberal. Dentro de los resultados y discusión se recopilan las consecuencias, pero se exploran viejos paradigmas olvidados como alternativas, así como la posibilidad de utilizar el diseño como bien común. Algunas de las conclusiones finales revelan la dependencia del diseño con la forma de pensar del diseñador, quién podría generar innovaciones. Se revisan algunas resistencias al sistema imperante como la arquitectura resiliente, y se evidencia la urgencia de un cambio de paradigma de la sociedad actual.
Forma topológica y geométrica, función proyectiva y operativa, y la estructura de los objetos
Authors: Ordóñez-Chacón Mauricio
Published: December 2020

Ensayo investigativo teórico con finalidad didáctica y profesional. Se concentra en los conceptos de forma, función y estructura como categorías analíticas para la teoría de los objetos artificiales funcionales, con algunas precisiones en el ámbito de la arquitectura. Aparte de aclarar conceptos para la enseñanza teórica, es una epistemología instrumental para el proceso de diseño. Entre más claridad de estas categorías, más preciso el diseño como práctica tecnológica blanda dirigida a la modificación entorno. Por tratarse de una teoría fundamentadora, los conceptos provienen de bibliografía clásica, no efímera, y de diccionarios filosofía y lengua. Bajo el método empírico-analítico se cotejan conceptos con una profunda reflexión analítica tras la relación experimental con los objetos artificiales y sus propiedades. Abundante literatura sobre el diseño definen y utilizan estos conceptos, muchas veces sin profundizar en ellos o de manera contradictoria. Ha existido ambigüedad en el concepto de forma, además de sufrir una cuestionable contaminación estética; se enfatiza en su carácter morfológico y se proponen como suficientes las categorías de forma geométrica y forma topológica. El concepto de función, reducido a la utilidad práctica de los objetos, se amplía a su función semiótica. El concepto de estructura sistémica, ha sufrido una deformación conceptual al reducirse a la estructura física soportante de los objetos. Se plantea corregir estas desviaciones conceptuales, y enriquecer con sub-categorías.

Published: December 2020

Este artículo presenta la utilización del modelo iterativo e incremental (MII) como metodología de desarrollo de una aplicación móvil de realidad aumentada para barrio Amón, San José. El software desarrollado para el procesamiento y forma de visualización de la información recopilada, constituye una experiencia pionera en Costa Rica, dirigida a la puesta en valor y difusión del paisaje urbano histórico, por lo que busca dar a conocer esta investigación e innovación desde el ámbito universitario. 

Metodológicamente, se inició con una revisión bibliográfica que permitió comparar dos modelos de desarrollo de software; uno tradicional, denominado modelo en cascada en comparación con el MII basado en iteraciones y con liberaciones parciales y funcionales del software. Seguidamente, se comparó la utilización de ambas metodologías en el contexto del proyecto de investigación. Como última etapa, se analizó la aplicación de la metodología seleccionada para el desarrollo de la aplicación móvil Amón_RA.

Entre los resultados destacan las ventajas al utilizar el MII que priorizaron su implementación, por ejemplo: la producción en simultáneo de varios módulos, realimentación constante de los aspectos funcionales por parte del equipo interdisciplinario, la posibilidad de someter a procesos de evaluación las tecnologías seleccionadas para su desarrollo en cada uno de los incrementos liberados  en las iteraciones, con la respectiva valoración de riesgos y consideración de acciones para mitigar sus efectos durante el proceso de construcción.

Se concluye, con base en las condiciones de desarrollo del proyecto de investigación, que el uso del MII permitió un aprendizaje en cada iteración, brindando un producto a la comunidad conforme a sus necesidades y generando en el equipo investigador una mayor experiencia para la toma de decisiones en futuros proyectos que utilicen la realidad aumentada.

Published: December 2020

El objetivo de este experimento es estudiar el efecto de la distribución de la luz en modelos a escala de un aula real debido a diferentes bandejas de luz.

La construcción de maquetas de un aula del TEC Campus Tecnológico Local San José se llevó a cabo tomando como variable de control el color del techo y manteniendo su forma. Para los casos de estudio, se analizó el comportamiento de las bandejas de luz para medir la distribución de la luz natural proveniente de la ventana hacia los espacios más alejados de la misma, así como su efectividad como protección solar.

Se analizaron tres franjas horarias, mañana, mediodía y tarde, de diciembre de 2018 a enero de 2019, tomando medidas de iluminación fuera y dentro de la maqueta. Las variables analizadas se pueden resumir en: color del techo, forma de las bandejas de luz y color aplicado a las paredes y superficies del aula.

De los resultados obtenidos se concluye que aún existen grandes lagunas en el entendimiento de cómo lograr una distribución uniforme de la iluminación dentro de una sala, evitando altos contrastes visuales, esto es especialmente importante en un aula donde se debe dar una prioridad en el comodidad visual de sus usuarios. El uso específico de bandejas de luz plana se mostró efectivo tanto como elemento de protección solar como para redirigir la luz a espacios alejados de la ventana.
Incivility in the Environment of Care: A Positive Approach
Authors: Darling Rosa
Published: December 2020

Decades from its first reporting, incivility remains a pervasive professional issue in health-care environments. Nursing is recognized as a profession based on the art of caring, but the nursing field is also an environment in which harsh treatment of coworkers has become normative in some workplaces. The realities of high-stress environments, high levels of acuity, and heavy workloads abound on most nursing units. Negative behaviors associated with these realities are issues needing resolution. This article presents a positive approach to incivility, with principles illustrated in a fictitious vignette. This positive approach may help reduce the prevalence of negative behaviors.
Resilience Education for Health-Care Professionals
Authors: Martin Sarah R. , Fiske Elizabeth A. , Hayes Lane Susan
Published: December 2020

Background

Burnout among health-care professionals is a growing problem having a sizeable impact on patient safety and health care as a whole. High levels of resilience in health-care professionals have been associated with safer care environments, improved health outcomes, higher quality care, and improved caregiver well-being and mental health. Resilience education can improve personal and professional resilience.

Objective

The goal of this project was to evaluate a resilience education program to improve measures of burnout and resilience in health-care professionals.

Design

A quantitative cross-sectional pretest/posttest design was used.

Setting

The resilience education program was implemented in a large, not-for-profit health-care system in the southeastern United States.

Methods

Participants completed the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) and The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale-25 (CD-RISC-25) immediately before the workshop and 2 weeks afterward. Participants also completed an evaluation survey one day after the education.

Results

Scores on the CD-RISC-25 showed statistically significant increases in resilience qualities after the education. Although not statistically significant, burnout as measure by CBI scores decreased following the workshop.

Conclusion

A relatively short educational program can positively impact resilience and burnout levels in health-care professionals. Positive outcomes included successful learning outcomes and increased resilience qualities.
“Compassion Fatigue” is a Misnomer: How Compassion Can Increase Quality of Life
Authors: DeDecker Jennifer
Published: December 2020

Health-care workers are at risk of experiencing negative consequences for their own health and job performance due to a wide variety of stressors. Care providers suffer from varying expressions of a generalized symptom set that has been termed “burnout” or “compassion fatigue.” These terms can help us understand the phenomenon that is happening in our health system, but a strong understanding of the physical, mental, emotional, and psychological implications will increase the efficacy of treatment and benefit of preventive care. This article asserts that the term “compassion fatigue” is a misnomer, resulting in a misunderstanding of the causes and effects of compassion on the individual. This article challenges the term, positing that it has become outdated based on what we now know about the neuroscience of compassion, empathy, and mindfulness. Instead, this discussion offers the relevance of the term “empathic distress leading to empathic distress fatigue,” suggesting that contemplative practice, mindfulness, and compassion training can protect and empower health-care providers.

This article presents a conceptual model explaining classroom dynamics, to guide novice nurse educators who are transitioning from clinical practice to academia. A critical review using Fawcett's framework for analysis and evaluation of nursing models was used to develop the Houser gear conceptual model, a visual representation of a gear system depicting the fundamental relationship among nursing leadership, active teaching strategies, and student learning outcomes.
The Role of Relationship-Based Care in Developing Empathy through Vulnerability: Visual Cues for Conversation and Change
Authors: Ann Lackey Sarah
Published: December 2020

Empathy is a word that is showing up in conversations across health-care organizations as we explore how to establish relationships with our patients to improve quality of care. According to researcher Brene ‘Brown, empathy is a connection with the heart, and cannot be expressed without touching our own vulnerability. In an increasingly complex and demanding health-care environment, with patient volumes and acuities impacting workflow and prioritization, it is important to explore vulnerability not only as a concept present in patient populations and our individual experiences as health-care professionals, but also as an unspoken and changing element in the entire clinical milieu. In a health-care world where focus is necessarily placed on quantitative metrics and outcomes, addressing concepts such as vulnerability can create a real challenge. Fear is an inherent by-product of vulnerability. As an aid to conversation and culture revision, this article presents a series of diagrams showing how focusing on the three relationships of Relationship-Based Care (RBC) (care for self, care for colleagues, and care for patients and families) can help shrink the fear associated with vulnerability. Fear initiates and perpetuates protective behaviors to keep us from feeling the uncertainty of vulnerability; those behaviors work against the development and nurturing of the RBC relationships. The three relationships of RBC provide a structure with which to explore vulnerability, allowing their principles and practices to help us open our hearts and lead us to the empathy we seek when serving our patients, ourselves, and each other.
A Call to Intervene: Suicide Risk among Nursing Students
Authors: Stubin Catherine A.
Published: December 2020

Researchers have found that nursing students are experiencing stress and mental health issues at higher rates than the general college student population. Emphasis should be placed on assessing nursing student stress, with increased efforts toward early detection of depression, before these students experience academic failure. Nurse educators must be the first line in addressing students ‘mental health problems, being the “eyes and ears” in the classroom as they advocate for students. Faculty have a responsibility to be aware of warning signs of and risk factors for suicide in nursing students, and how to locate resources for at-risk students. Suicide is a preventable public health concern, and nurse educators can make a difference.
