DETECTION OF MUTATIONS IN THE KatG GENE RELATED TO ISONIAZID RESISTANCE OF MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS COLLECTED IN CENTRAL AND SOUTH VIETNAM
Authors: Ngoc Nghiem Minh , Hoai Thu Nguyen Thi
Published: July 2020

Infection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is one of the most common infections in humans. However, the detection rate is only 37% of estimated patients. Currently, Tuberculosic bacteria (TB) are becoming more serious with many TB strains developing multi-drug resistance, and particularly, in case of co-infection with TB and HIV/AIDS. The izoniazid resistant TB strains (INH) also resistant to the other anti-TB antibiotics. The molecular biology methods have allowed rapid and accurate diagnosis of patients infected with drug-resistant TB bacteria. In this study, we used primers katG-F and katG-R designed for amplication of a fragment of 684 bp in katG gene in 7 strains of TB bacteria collected in Pham Ngoc Thach - Ho Chi Minh city and Hue Central hospitals. Sequence analysis of the katG gene fragments showed that 5 samples had substitution mutations at codon 315 (point mutation G to C), leading to the change of amino acid from Serine to Threonine (S315T). In the 5th sample there appeared another mutation at codon 324, changing amino acid Aspartic (D) to Glycine (G) (D324G). In the sample DA1, no mutation has been found in any codon in the katG gene fragment studied. The results obtained in this study may have important implications in changing the treatment regimen and control of tuberculosis in a country with high number of TB patients as in Vietnam.

Jewels of Opar (T. paniculatum) belongs to Talinum genus, Portulacaceae family which contains secondary metabolites such as phytosterols, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, steroids. These organic compounds have anti-viral effects and are very effective on Herpes’ disease and skin infections. Besides, Jewels of Opar can also be used as a supporting medicine for Parkinson’s disease, heart disease and for lowering blood cholesterols. Currently, the identification of T. paniculatum has been mainly based on morphological analysis. However, this method often encounters obstacles when T. paniculatum has been completely or partially processed. In this work, we present the results of morphological characteristics, taxonomy and sequences characterisation of ITS region and rpoC1, rpoB genes of T. paniculatum in Northern provinces of Vietnam. Tuberous roots of T. paniculatum are cylindrical with many small roots. The stems are upright and divided into several branches. The stems are upright and divided into several branches. The leaves are staggered, generally oval, ovate-oblong, or egg back shaped; thick, glossy with wavy veins, without hairs. The flowers of the plants have five reddish purple wings, two sepals, more than ten stamens, and a spherical ovary. The fruits are small, and the ripe fruit is ash gray in color. The seeds are very small, slightly flat, and black. Internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region and two partial sequences of rpoC1 and rpoB genes isolated from T. paniculatum plants are 643 bp, 595 bp and 518 bp in length, respectively. Based on the combination of the characteristics of morphology and nucleotide sequences of ITS region, rpoC1 and rpoB genes, the Jewels of Opar samples collected in some northern provinces of Vietnam were determined to belong to T. paniculatum species, Talinum genus, Portulacaceae family. Characteristics of sequences of ITS region and rpoC1, rpoB genes are valuable for exploiting DNA barcodes to identify T. paniculatum in Vietnam.
Study on the organ distribution of gold nanoparticles synthesized by γ-irradiation using carboxymethyl chitosan stabilizer after intravenous administration in mice
Authors: Phuong Linh Do Thi , Nghia Nguyen Trong , Luan Le Quang
Published: July 2020

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with an average particle size of about 7 nm and concentration of 1 mM were synthesized by gamma rays irradiation method using 0.5% carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) as a stabilizer. The characteristics of AuNPs were verified using UV-vis spectrum and TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) images. The synthesized AuNPs were intravenously injected into tail of mice with a dose of 1 mg AuNPs per mouse for investigation of the in vivo distribution of AuNPs at different times. The analytical results showed that there was no significant difference in the blood haematological and serum biochemical indexes between the mice administrated with AuNPs and the control group. The gold content in the samples determined by k0-neutron activation analysis (k0-NAA) method indicated that after injection 1 h, AuNPs were mainly accumulated in liver (64.92%), blood (31.33%) and a small amount in lungs (2.16%) and kidneys (1.60%). After 6 hrs post-injection, the content of AuNPs was almost not determined in the blood, but its accumulation was increased in livers with 88.85%, lungs with 8.55% and kidneys with 2.10%. After 12 hrs of intravenous administration, the content of AuNPs was found to be slightly reduced by 83.86% in liver, but it was almost unchanged in lungs and kidneys. The results obtained in this study clearly indicated the distribution and the retention time of AuNPs in the mice. The AuNPs synthetized by gamma rays irradiation may potentially be developed for application as an X-ray contrast agent in diagnosis and as antioxidant agent for liver protection.
Tożsamość kapłańska według Jana Pawła II
Authors: Swędrowski Jerzy
Published: July 2020

Tajemnica powołania jest zawsze odczytaniem relacji, w której sam Bóg zwraca się do człowieka i oczekuje od niego wspaniałomyślnej odpowiedzi. To spotkanie i dialog jest rodzeniem ku wspólnocie wiary, która obejmuje ludzi otwartych na realizm codziennej rzeczywistości i na wieczność Bożych przeznaczeń. Dar kapłaństwa służebnego staje się szczególnym narzędziem dla Kościoła, w którym głoszenie słowa i sprawowanie sakramentów wiodą do autentycznego i osobistego spotkania z Bogiem. Kapłan odpowiadając na wezwanie do służby Bożej, aby nieść Kościołowi skarb w „glinianym naczyniu” swojej egzystencji, staje się świadkiem wierności. W sakramencie święceń zostaje wyposażony, aby umiejętnie i skutecznie dzielić się „darem i tajemnicą”, w których dokonuje się osobiste spotkanie z Bogiem i w nowy sposób rodzi się odpowiedzialność za wspólnotę Kościoła. Doświadczenie miłości i miłosierdzia bierze się z Eucharystii, która jest centrum życia kapłańskiego. To tutaj znajdzie się zaspokojenie ludzkich pragnień i umocnienie w sytuacjach kryzysowych. Kapłan rozwija się i umacnia na drodze miłości do Kościoła; na drodze naśladowania Chrystusowej Matki.
Poszukiwanie życia w kosmosie a teologia
Authors: Gryz Krzysztof
Published: July 2020

W XX wieku podjęto wiele działań badawczych, których celem było znalezienie dowodów wskazujących na istnienie życia w kosmosie. Działania te mogą być także przedmiotem refleksji teologii. Pole tej refleksji wypełniają dwa nurty myślenia. Pierwsze jest czysto hipotetyczne, jako że dowodów na istnienie życia dotąd nie odkryto. Druga przestrzeń refleksji jest bardziej realna i koncentruje się np. na sensie poszukiwania innych cywilizacji: czy ludzkie istnienie jest czymś wyjątkowym we wszechświecie, czy tęsknota na inną, wyższą formą cywilizacji nie jest wyrazem odwiecznej tęsknoty za doskonałością i pragnieniem życia nieśmiertelnego?

Authors: Shankhoev Zurab , Zhaisambaev Erkn
Published: July 2020

During the construction of roads, the main factor affecting the operational characteristics of a linear facility is the climatic conditions of a particular area where the future road will pass. In the article, the authors consider the problem of building roads on weak soils with insufficient strength characteristics, such soils cause difficulties in the design and operation of the structure. The purpose of this study is to change the physical properties of cohesive soils to increase their strength characteristics. The authors systematized information on existing methods for stabilizing clay soils of the base and subgrade of the road. The results of experimental laboratory studies performed by the authors of the article on the influence of water repellents on the physical properties of clay soil are presented. According to laboratory studies, it can be concluded that with the optimal selection of hydrophobic materials, it is possible to increase the bearing capacity of soft soils, which in turn will lead to an increase in the technical and operational characteristics of the structure and an increase in turnaround times. The main conclusions are formulated based on the analysis of laboratory tests.
The study of the sustainability of decisions on the formation of the structure of repair units of a road construction company
Authors: Shepitko Taisiya , Bolotov Anton
Published: July 2020

Currently, work is underway to bring at least half of the road network of large agglomerations into a normative state. The implementation of the project is monitored by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation and the Federal Road Agency. In the list of goals – carrying out repair work. This problem, according to the author, can best be solved using mathematical modeling. The article investigates the trends in the behavior of the queuing system and their influence on the stability of decisions made regarding the choice of the structure of a road construction company. In the article, the loading of production units in a road construction company is simulated by a stream of applications. The task of finding the optimal organizational structure is multi-criteria, and each performance indicator, in turn, is a function of several variables. The functioning of support services and repair units is aimed at maintaining the operational state of the main production equipment. The data obtained from the results of the study suggest that the presented queuing system has fairly stable characteristics. This confirms both the possibility of determining the optimal structure of the repair unit, and the possibility of the existence of a structure accepted as optimal in a fairly wide range of conditions. Management decisions must have the required level of quality. Usually, discussing this issue, they talk about the scientific validity and competence of the solution, its timeliness, effectiveness and consistency. Achieving the required level of the last three indicators largely depends on the completeness and reliability of the source information. The validity and competence of decisions are provided by a scientifically sound methodology for the formation of the optimal structure of repair units.

Authors: Abdul Barei , Ledenev Victor , Savinov Yaroslav , Keyta Yaya
Published: July 2020

The results of an experimental and numerical studies of the stress-strain state of wall models under one and two way action are presented.
The mechanisms of destruction of walls with openings are described. The functional dependencies between the destructive loads of the onset of crack formation and the influencing parameters are obtained.
It is shown that the openings are stress concentrators, leading to the occurrence of micro and macro damage, the appearance and development of cracks, and in some cases to the loss of stability of structures (walls).
The obtained influence functions can be included in traditional calculation methods with the aim of clarifying them.
The factors affecting the process of cracking and fracture are given. Their modeling will allow to predict and prevent adverse events.
Practical methods for regulating stresses, forces, and displacements that reduce the influence of various concentrators are considered.
The analysis of the destruction mechanism of wall models carried out in this article allows one to study the influence of the size, position, and shape of window openings on the bearing capacity of walls. For example, the presence of stress concentrations in the region of the corners of square openings and their absence in round ones. The system of indicators of the sentry type ICh-10 made it possible to control the deformation of models from the plane of the walls, which is especially important under conditions of lateral pinching.
The experimental values of the strength of the walls with openings compared with the calculated ones, which made it possible to see the degree of simplification of the classical calculation models used in design practice.

Authors: Bulkov Alexander , Baev Michail , Ovchinnikov Igor
Published: July 2020

The influence of reinforcing steel corrosion on the durability of reinforced concrete structures of transport structures and the degree of knowledge of this problem is considered. It is specified that the protection of reinforcing steel from corrosion is not able to completely replace the correct design and use of high-strength concrete. But it is able to extend the life of reinforced concrete structures. It is noted that corrosion of the reinforcement leads to a decrease in the structural strength due to wear and tear and by a third of the period of operation of reinforced concrete structures, as a result of which transport structures collapse. As an example of the detrimental effect of corrosion of reinforcing steel on the durability of transport structures, examples of accidents of bridges and overpasses caused by this type of corrosion are given. As a result, a conclusion is drawn on the advisability of ensuring a sufficient level of corrosion protection of reinforcing steel to achieve the required durability of reinforced concrete structures of transport structures. The types and causes of corrosion processes in reinforcing steel reinforced concrete structures are described. The compositions and technologies of anticorrosive protection are examined and analyzed. Comparison of the compositions of anticorrosive protection of reinforced concrete structures is carried out according to the following criteria: consumption, density, viability, curing temperature and the number of components of the composition. A comparison of anti-corrosion protection technologies is carried out on the basis of the following indicators: line dimensions, productivity and consumption of energy resources. A comparison is also made of the cost of using various anti-corrosion protection technologies. Based on the data obtained, the advantages and disadvantages of the considered compositions and technologies of corrosion protection are determined. As a result, the most effective and technologically advanced method of corrosion protection of steel reinforcement of reinforced concrete structures of transport structures is selected.

Published: July 2020

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo foi identificar o perfil dos usuários e a prescrição de medicamentos nos Centros de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) em uma região de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Foi realizado um estudo transversal em 11 CAPS de 5 diferentes modalidades. Dados sociodemográficos e informações sobre o uso de medicamentos foram obtidas por meio de entrevistas com os usuários, análise de prescrições e prontuários utilizando um formulário semiestruturado. O número médio de medicamentos prescritos por usuário dos CAPS foi de 3,38 (±1,76) e os valores foram 4,08 (±1,56), 3,54 (±1,64) e 2,00 (±1,66) para as modalidades de CAPS álcool e Drogas (CAPS ad), CAPS II e III e CAPS infantil, respectivamente. A classe terapêutica mais prescrita foi de antipsicóticos. Usuários que estavam na faixa etária economicamente ativa, frequentavam serviços de maior porte (24h) ou modalidade CAPS ad e relataram que já utilizaram os medicamentos de maneira inadequada, apresentaram maior prevalência de prescrições com 5 ou mais medicamentos. O uso de medicamentos nos CAPS diferiu segundo a modalidade do serviço, tendo sido observado um maior grau de utilização nos CAPS ad. As diferenças encontradas podem subsidiar a discussão de estratégias para a promoção do uso racional de medicamentos.

Resumo Este trabalho objetivou descrever e analisar conteúdos de notícias associadas a ciclos de buscas ao Google ligados a 8 tipos de dieta: a cetogênica; da lua; da proteína; da sopa; detox; dos pontos; paleo; e Dukan. Estas foram selecionadas por terem sido apontadas pelo Google Trends® (GT) como as mais frequentemente associadas ao termo dieta. Os conteúdos dos sites vinculados aos maiores picos de buscas foram apontados pelo Google News®. O volume de buscas às dietas foram estimados pelo GT com filtros de região (Brasil) e temática (Saúde) considerando o período de 01/01/2012 a 01/01/2017. Os acessos retratam ciclos efêmeros com centenas de picos e quedas de interesse pelas 8 dietas da moda. A ênfase se concentra nas orientações para rápida perda de peso em prol de um ideal de saúde tido como proxy de um ideal estético. A dimensão dos riscos associados às dietas mais restritivas é citada frequentemente e validada por informações de especialistas. Destaca-se a exposição e a influência da opinião de celebridades relatando suas experiências dietéticas. Ao contrário do ideal de variedade e equilíbrio, as dietas da moda retratam a pressão pelo autocontrole alimentar como recurso à construção de um corpo idealizado e tipificado por imagens das celebridades.

Published: July 2020

Resumo O presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito das microagressões raciais de gênero na saúde mental de mulheres negras. Especificamente, foram avaliadas a influência das variáveis identidade e autoestima na relação entre a frequência das microagressões raciais de gênero e a saúde mental. Para tanto, participaram 76 mulheres, com idade média de 24,62 anos (DP = 6,3). As participantes responderam, além das questões sociodemográficas, quatro instrumentos: Escala de Microagressões Raciais de Gênero, Questionário de Saúde Geral de Goldberg, Escala de Identificação com o Grupo e a Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg. Os resultados indicaram que a alta frequência de microagressões raciais de gênero prediz piores níveis de saúde mental e autoestima. Ademais, a autoestima parece mediar a relação entre microagressões e saúde geral, apresentando-se enquanto fator protetor da saúde mental; e a identidade parece moderar essa relação, de modo que alta identificação enquanto mulher negra apresentam menores níveis de saúde mental quando se deparam com uma alta frequência de eventos discriminatórios. Não obstante algumas limitações, ressalta-se que os objetivos foram alcançados, sendo propostos estudos futuros que contribuam para a explicação da relação entre microagressões raciais de gênero e saúde mental.

Published: July 2020

Abstract This article aims to identify the methods used to assess household food availability in studies on food and nutritional security and to discuss its methodological aspects. Systematic review elaborated according to the PRISMA method. We searched at PubMed; Scielo and Lilacs databases, and studies that used methods of assessing the availability of food at home were included. In the end, 19 papers composed the review. Food availability was predominantly assessed for a seven days period and from a single data measurement. Other variables were also observed in the studies, such as socio-demographic data and expenditure on food. Among the limitations to assess the food availability at home, we can highlight the difficulty in measuring the food distribution among family members and the lack of information on the variability of this availability. Such assessment can be improved by investigating the strengths and weaknesses of the instruments for greater detail and accuracy of the information. We recommend the development and validation of specific instruments capable of effectively measure the food availability at the household level.

RESUMO: Objetivos: Descrever a ocorrência simultânea de fatores de risco para doenças crônicas não transmissíveis e os fatores associados à simultaneidade dessas prevalências em adultos residentes na zona rural de um município no sul do Brasil. Métodos: Trata-se de estudo transversal com 1.445 adultos da zona rural de Pelotas, RS. Foram considerados quatro fatores de risco: tabagismo, consumo de álcool, inatividade física e consumo inadequado de legumes/verduras. Para verificar a ocorrência simultânea, utilizou-se análise de clusters. A associação foi avaliada por regressão ordinal, obtendo-se estimativas em razões de odds. Resultados: Dos quatro fatores de risco avaliados, três foram mais prevalentes entre os homens, sendo apenas inatividade física maior entre as mulheres. Na análise de clusters, consumo de álcool + tabagismo + consumo inadequado de vegetais foi a única combinação que apresentou prevalência observada significativamente maior que a esperada (O/E = 2,67; IC95% 1,30; 5,48), sendo superior a encontrada em outro estudo no sul do país, dado que pode ser justificado pois tal estudo incluiu o consumo de frutas além de ter avaliado população urbana, enquanto para este estudo avaliou-se apenas a população rural. Após ajuste, os homens, indivíduos solteiros, de cor da pele preta, parda ou outra, com baixa escolaridade, pior condição socioeconômica, pior percepção de saúde e que não desenvolviam atividades rurais apresentaram maior odds ratio de acúmulo de fatores de risco. Conclusão: Os achados evidenciam a importância do desenvolvimento de ações prioritárias em relação à saúde da população rural com atenção específica aos subgrupos de maior risco identificados.

Abstract: Introduction: There are still many economic and racial barriers for black and indigenous peoples regarding access to a university degree in Brazil. Although Brazil is mistakenly considered a racial democracy, black people, indigenous peoples and those of low social status are the most affected by such difficulties regarding access to the university. Medical schools are traditionally attended by white, wealthy and upper-middle-class groups, although 54% of Brazilians consider themselves to be African descendants. To deal with this scenario, since 2013, 50% of all vacancies in public universities have been reserved for low social classes, indigenous peoples and African descendants. Our objective was to describe the socioeconomic and racial profile of those attending a public medical school in the state of Rio de Janeiro during a five-year period, analyzing the associations between the Brazilian segregationist structure and inclusion policies. Method: A census study was carried out, including all groups that entered the medical school at a public university in the state of Rio de Janeiro between 2013 and 2017. We applied a self-administered questionnaire that addressed social, ethnic, economic and university admission aspects. The data were analyzed by a simple description of the frequencies and by bivariate analysis. Results: The results show that the majority profile is white, with an annual income higher than US$ 8,640, coming from a private school, with financial support from the family, both parents with higher education and no gender difference. As for the inclusion of non-white people into the course, the current quota system has not significantly increased their presence. Conclusion: We conclude that racial inclusion policies subordinated to economic ones seem to be a barrier to the entry of non-whites to medical school, contributing to racial inequality.

Abstract: Objective: to evaluate the implementation of the Choosing Wisely (CW) campaign strategies at a medical clinic internship. Methods: This interventional study involved internship teachers and students, using online questionnaires on the SurveyMonkey platform, and face-to-face activities. Using the Delphi technique, teachers identified three unnecessary situations that commonly occur in practice. The recommendations were grouped by frequency and subject, adapted to the CW format. A Likert scale was used to classify the specialists’ opinion aiming to obtain the final list of recommendations. Before the introduction of the CW campaign, we conducted an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). Two groups of students were compared: one group that underwent the same OSCE evaluation before the implementation of the CW campaign (110), and another group that participated of all educational actions (n = 98). The CW campaign was implemented by developing educational actions using the recommendations during workshops, banners, and theoretical evaluation, in addition to an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). Results: after grouping the recommendations, 24 items remained. The specialists selected eight recommendations by frequency, addressing unnecessary behaviors such as requesting multiple exams, overuse of non-hormonal anti-inflammatory drugs, the indication of digestive endoscopy in younger patients with dyspepsia, excessive chest X-rays in intensive care unit, prescribing antibiotic prophylaxis for longer than recommended, routine indication of allergic tests, inadequate initial screening for thyroid assessment, and spirometry in asymptomatic patients. The educational actions resulted in a process of awareness and discussion among the participants, evidenced by theoretical evaluation (> 95%), as well as in the OSCE, where the level of successes was higher in the exposed group when compared to the nonexposed group (p = 0.001). Conclusion: the implementation of the CW campaign improved the clinical skills of medical clinic internship students and allowed positive discussions about cost-consciousness in health.

It is generally acknowledged that creating strategic alignment is key to achieving good procurement performance. However, when it comes to aligning procurement instruments with an organisation’s strategic goals, the literature is unclear about exactly how such alignment can be created in practice. Focusing on the process of procurement instrument development by public clients in the construction industry, this research explores how alignment with strategic goals can be created. Since procurement instrument development is portrayed in the literature as a highly intuitive and subjective process, this research examined how public clients can rationally and objectively create strategic alignment during this development process. This paper presents an action research case study on the development of a new procurement instrument. By interpreting strategic alignment as coherence in reasoning between procurement instrument design and multiple levels of strategy, it explains how several research interventions eventually resulted in creating alignment in practice. The results indicate that the rational and objective creation of strategic alignment requires that the reasoning behind procurement instrument design be made explicit and linked to the reasoning behind higher-level strategies. Since this can easily become complex, practitioners should master practical tools such as causal mapping to manage the complexity effectively.

Authors: Timme Ruth , M Blankenship Heather , L Young Erin , Griffiths Emma , MacCannell Duncan , Wyman Stacia
Published: July 2020

PURPOSE: This protocol covers the steps for submitting a SARS-CoV-2 assembly to NCBI's GenBank For new submitters, there's quite a bit of groundwork that needs to be established before a laboratory can start its first data submission. We recommend that one person in the laboratory take a few days to get everything set up in advance of when you expect to do your first data submission. Two protocols cover the PHA4GE guidance for SARS-CoV-2 submission to NCBI (Raw sequence data, metadata, and assemblies). If you need a pipeline for frequent or large volume submissions, follow Step 1 in the SARS-CoV-2 NCBI submission protocol: SRA, BioSample, and BioProject to get your NCBI submission environment established, then contact gb-admin@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov to set up an account for submitting through the API. These protocols cover submission using NCBI's Submission Portal web-interface. Complete in order (1 then 2): 1. SARS-CoV-2 NCBI submission protocol: SRA, BioSample, and BioProject Step-by-step instructions for establishing a new NCBI laboratory submission account and for creating and linking a new BioProject to an existing umbrella effort. Submit SARS-CoV-2 raw data to SRA (Sequence Read Archive) and metadata to BioSample. 2. SARS-CoV-2 NCBI assembly submission protocol: GenBank (included protocol) Required: established BioProject and BioSamples Submit SARS-CoV-2 consensus sequences to NCBI GenBank, linking to existing BioProject, BioSamples, and raw data.
A judicialização do serviço de atenção domiciliar por meio de demandas coletivas
Authors: Lamarão Neto Homero
Published: July 2020

Objective: to promote a case study of the process 0004.630-73.2013.814.0133, in order to analyze the use of a collective tutelage instrument for exclusively individual purposes in the field of home care service. Methodology: the case study was used to, through the rights-based approach, establish a position on the use of public civil action, as an instrument of collective protection, to exclusively support an individual request. Result: the request formulated in the action, home treatment for the patient, although provided for in public policies, is subject to the prior enrollment of public service staff in a federal program to receive training and transfer funds, which did not occur concretely, indicating that the ideal locus for facing the discussion would be the collective one, in order to extend the benefit to all citizens. Conclusion: the use of essentially collective actions to deal with individual cases, when the irregularity or deficiency of a public policy is found, still shows a tonic in the phenomenon of the judicialization of health, distorting the essence of these actions and making the concreteness of universality unfeasible access to SUS.

Educación intercultural y procesos de reconocimiento identitario. una experiencia en un contexto andino del noroeste argentino
Authors: Guaymás Álvaro , De Anquín Ana , Durán Ariel
Published: July 2020

Este artículo resume una experiencia de investigación y extensión universitaria formulada como una modalidad sostenible de colaboración intercultural con pobladoras y pobladores de una zona andina de la provincia de Salta (Argentina), conocida como Quebrada del Toro. El trabajo en terreno continúa desde el 2005, en constante reflexión y tratando de comprender y acompañar complejos procesos de reconocimiento identitario. Esta dinámica se atravesó con diferentes ritmos y posiciones en las diferentes comunidades de la zona, hasta organizarse como pueblos indígenas. Hablamos en términos de educación en y para la interculturalidad para todas y todos,como aspiración que pretende transformar la práctica educativa en una relación de respeto e intercambio con las culturas locales. En esta concepción, la educación intercultural no puede entenderse al margen de las demandas por la plena vigencia de los derechos de los pueblos indígenas,afrodescendientes y migrantes.
