Published: May 2019

INTRODUCTION: The first hours of life are still a window of opportunity to identify at-risk newborns, but there are few studies focusing on early neonatal behavior.OBJECTIVE: Describe in a cross section the behavior of newborns born in conditions of low perinatal risk under 48 hours of extrauterine life and compare it with historical referents.METHOD: We studied 47 newborns with low perinatal risk, whose behavior was assessed using the Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale (NBAS). Scores were obtained by item and area, and then were compared with 7 historical referents.RESULTS: Low scores were found, both by item and by areas in up to 25% of the population. NBAS scores were related primarily with age of newborn, weight, and height. Significant differences were found in relation to referents for which higher scores were reported in the majority of cases.CONCLUSIONS: A pattern was found of behavior, in which the same areas or items caused greater or lesser difficulty in achieving higher scores or those which required a certain level of adaptation to the environment, which would lead us to believe that our newborns should attain the scores seen in other populations as they advance in age.

Published: May 2019

Background and Purpose

The Short Form Health Survey version 2 (SF-12v2) is a commonly used measure of health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The purpose of this study was to review research articles that used the SF-12v2 survey for three age groups: adolescents, young to middle-aged adults, and middle to older-aged adults.

Methods

EBSCO, CINAHL, and Ovid Journal databases were searched, and 12 articles were identified.

Results

We found that the SF-12v2 was used with diverse age groups. Cronbach's alpha coefficients ranged from 0.60 to 0.87, which support the internal consistency and reliability. The convergent validity of the SF-12v2 was supported in some studies.

Conclusions

The current line of evidence indicated that the SF-12v2 is easy to use, reliable, and valid. Future research needs to evaluate the population health status and HRQOL changes over time.
Matching Nursing Assignment to Patients' Acuity Level: The Road to Nurses' Satisfaction
Authors: Al-Dweik Ghadeer , Ahmad Muayyad
Published: May 2019

Background and Purpose

Nurses face many healthcare challenges, such as high turnover, workload, and unfair assignments, that lead to nurses' dissatisfaction. Linking nursing shift assignment to patients' acuity scores may increase the workload balance, achieving equitable nursing assignment and nurses' satisfaction. This article aimed to (a) describe the effectiveness of the Perroca patient acuity tool (PAT) by measuring nurses' satisfaction with workload and standard of care pre and post the acuity tool application, and (b) measure nurses' satisfaction about the implemented patients' acuity tool.

Methods

Quasi-experimental (one group pre- and postdesign) was used. Donabedian's structure-process-outcome (SPO) model was followed as a conceptual model to guide the implementation process of this study. A convenience sample of 64 nurses participated in the study. Two scales were used to measure nurses' satisfaction with workload and with standard of care. Perroca's scale was used to measure nurses' satisfaction about patient acuity level.

Results

Significant differences were found on nurse's total satisfaction level, satisfaction with workload, and satisfaction with standard of care between the two times, pre- and post–Perroca PAT application. The majority of nurses had positive impressions of the tool.

Conclusion

This study concludes that linking PAT to nursing shift assignment has several positive outcomes. It increases nurses' satisfaction and serves as managers' voice for important staffing decisions like recruitment, assignment distribution, employing new staff, and improving quality of care.

Published: May 2019

Background: Systemic inflammation persists in chronic HIV infection and is associated with increased rates of non-AIDS events such as cardiovascular and liver disease. Increased gut permeability and systemic exposure to microbial products are key drivers of this inflammation. Serum-derived bovine immunoglobulin/protein isolate (SBI) supports gut healing in other conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease.Methods: In this randomized, double-blind study, participants receiving suppressive antiretroviral therapy (ART) with chronic diarrhea received placebo or SBI at 2.5 g BID or 5 g BID for 4 weeks, followed by a 20-week placebo-free extension phase with SBI at either 2.5 or 5 g BID. Intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP), zonulin, flagellin, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and LPS-binding protein, and inflammatory markers were measured by ELISA or multiplex assays. Non-parametric tests were used for analysis.Results: One hundred three participants completed the study. By week 24 SBI significantly decreased circulating levels of I-FABP (-0.35 ng/mL, P = 0.002) and zonulin (-4.90 ng/mL, P = 0.003), suggesting improvement in gut damage, and interleukin-6 (IL-6) (-0.40 pg/mL, P = 0.002), reflecting improvement in systemic inflammation. In participants with the lowest quartile of CD4+ T-cell counts at baseline (189-418 cells/mL), CD4+ T-cell counts increased significantly (26 cells/mL; P = 0.002).Conclusions: Oral SBI may decrease inflammation and warrants further exploration as a potential strategy to improve gut integrity and decrease systemic inflammation among persons receiving prolonged suppressive ART.Keywords: HIV infection; CD4 T cell; Serum bovine immunoglobulin protein; Interleukin; Inflammation; Intestine; I-FABP

Published: May 2019

Este ensaio aborda as contribuições da História Oral para a reflexão sobre os processos de mediação implicados nas mudanças tecnológicas e os impactos da Tecnologia Assistiva na história da educação de pessoas com deficiência visual. O estudo se debruça sobre as memórias de uma pessoa com deficiência visual, registradas em entrevista. Investiga os modos como ela reconstrói a história sobre os usos dos recursos de Tecnologia Assistiva e sobre as formas de mediação que atravessam esses processos. As ferramentas da História Oral permitiram enfocar uma narrativa singular, que se entrecruza com contextos históricos, sociais, culturais e econômicos, que perpassam a história das políticas educacionais e a história das conquistas pela garantia dos direitos das pessoas com deficiência. As análises nos levaram a refletir sobre os processos de mediação e as concepções sobre deficiência implicadas nos instrumentos, entendidos como técnicos, mas também semióticos, com repercussões para a discussão sobre o papel da Educação em sua relação com a Tecnologia Assistiva.

Uma proposta de fomento à salvaguarda do patrimônio paleontológico da Praia do Atalaia, Pará, Brasil
Authors: Leonardo de Souza Silva  , Sue Anne Regina Ferreira da Costa
Published: May 2019

A região amazônica, no Brasil, possui o patrimônio natural reconhecido, porém outros ecossistemas ocuparam a região e estão registrados em rochas, como as da Formação Pirabas, na região litoral do Pará, na praia do Atalaia (Salinópolis). Os fósseis destas rochas detêm potencial social transformador quando bem usufruídos. E buscamos em sites, bibliotecas e 150 entrevistas, conhecimentos referentes a estes, para problematizar, a partir de diferentes áreas, o (re)conhecimento deste patrimônio na região. Há fragilidades na relação entre as informações acadêmicas e como estas estão disponibilizadas ao público, dificultando, assim, a preservação e a utilzação social dos fósseis. Entretanto, sugerimos políticas públicas e um museu no município, como ações que podem minimizar tal situação.
Mathematical Modelling to Study the Horizontal Transfer of Antimicrobial Resistance Genes in Bacteria: Current State of the Field and Recommendations
Authors: Leclerc Quentin J. , Lindsay Jodi A. , Knight Gwenan M.
Published: May 2019

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest public health challenges we are currently facing. To develop effective interventions against this, it is essential to understand the processes behind the spread of AMR. These are partly dependent on the dynamics of horizontal transfer of resistance genes between bacteria, which can occur by conjugation (direct contact), transformation (uptake from the environment) or transduction (mediated by bacteriophages). Mathematical modelling is a powerful tool to investigate the dynamics of AMR, however its application to study the horizontal transfer of AMR genes is currently unclear. In this systematic review, we searched for mathematical modelling studies which focused on horizontal transfer of AMR genes. We compared their aims and methods using a list of predetermined criteria, and utilized our results to assess the current state of this research field. Of the 43 studies we identified, most focused on the transfer of single genes by conjugation in Escherichia coli in culture, and its impact on the bacterial evolutionary dynamics. Our findings highlight the existence of an important research gap on the dynamics of transformation and transduction, and the overall public health implications of horizontal transfer of AMR genes. To further develop this field and improve our ability to control AMR, it is essential that we clarify the structural complexity required to study the dynamics of horizontal gene transfer, which will require cooperation between microbiologists and modellers.

Published: May 2019

Due to low working temperature, high energy density and low pollution, proton exchange fuel cells have been investigated under different operating conditions in different applications. Using platinum catalyst in methanol fuel cell leads to increasing the cost of this kind of fuel cells which is considered as a barrier to commercialism of this technology. For this reason, a lot of efforts have been made to reduce the loading of the catalyst required on different supports. In this study, carbon black (CB) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been used as catalyst supports of the fuel cell as well as using the double-metal combination of platinum-ruthenium (PtRu) as anode electrode catalyst and platinum (Pt) as cathode electrode catalyst. The performance of these two types of the electro-catalyst in oxidation reaction of methanol has been compared based on electrochemical tests. Results showed that the carbon nanotubes increase the performance of the micro-fuel cell by 37% at maximum power density, compared to the carbon black. Based on thee-electrode tests of chronoamperometry and voltammetry, it was found that oxidation onset potential of methanol for CNT has been around 20% less than CB, leading to the kinetic improvement of the oxidation reaction. In addition, the active electrochemical surface area of catalyst has been increased up to 90% by using CNT compared to CB which shows the significant rise of the electrocatalytic activity in CNT supported catalyst with 62% increase in current density of methanol oxidation reaction respect to CB supported one. Moreover, the resistance of CNT supported sample to poisonous intermediate species has been found 3% more than CB supported one. According to the chronoamperometry test results, it was concluded that the performance and sustainability of NCT electro-catalyst shows remarkable improvement compared to CB electro-catalyst in long term.

Compressor characteristics and blades vibrational behavior are the main objective of the evaluation. Here, the attachments are designed to isolate blade dynamics from Disk. So, the Vibrational behaviors of the one's blade are tuned based on the self-excited and forced vibration phenomenon. Using a semi analytical MATLAB code instability conditions are satisfied. The code takes advantages of whitehead and force response theory to predict classically and stall flutter speeds. Beside, Forced vibrations instability is controlled using a theory presented by Campbell. Aerodynamics of new blade geometry determined using multistage simulations Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. Numerical results show increasing performance near the surge line and working interval along with increasing mass flow.
Coastal Flood Assessment Due to Sea Level Rise and Extreme Storm Events - Case Study of the Atlantic Coast of Portugal Mainland
Authors: Antunes Carlos , Rocha Carolina , Catita Cristina
Published: May 2019

Portugal Mainland has hundreds of thousands of people living in the Atlantic coastal zone, with numerous high economic value activities and a high number of infrastructures that must be protected from natural coastal hazard, namely extreme storms and sea level rise (SLR). In the context of climate change adaptation strategies, a reliable and accurate assessment of the physical vulnerability to SLR is crucial. This study is a contribution to the implementation of flooding standards imposed by the European Directive 2007/60/EC, which requires each member state to assess the risk associated to SLR and floods caused by extreme events. Therefore, coastal hazard in the Continental Atlantic coast of Portugal Mainland was evaluated for 2025, 2050 and 2100 in the whole coastal extension with different sea level scenarios for different extreme event return periods and due to SLR. A coastal flooding probabilistic map was produced based on the developed methodology using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology. The Extreme Flood Hazard Index (EFHI) was determined on flood probabilistic bases through five probability intervals of 20% of amplitude. For a given SLR scenario, the EFHI is expressed, on the probabilistic flooding maps for an extreme tidal maximum level, by five hazard classes ranging from 1 (Very Low) to 5 (Extreme).
Social-Ecological Experiments to Foster Agroecological Transition
Authors: Gaba Sabrina , Bretagnolle Vincent
Published: May 2019

Sustainable agriculture is essential to provide food security for a growing world population without further sacrificing the integrity of the environment. To make progress towards agricultural sustainability we must consider ecological and socioeconomic processes within the agricultural socio-ecosystem and involve stakeholders in the research process. We propose an innovative experimental approach for examining how natural regulation of ecosystems may provide an alternative to increasing external inputs in agriculture while improving the socio-economic welfare of farmers. These “social-ecological experiments” go further to participatory action research by not only involving stakeholders in the research process but also by manipulating simultaneously socioeconomic and ecological processes under real field conditions to give a faster route to sustainability. Social-ecological experiments are undertaken in real field conditions, explicitly involving stakeholders, and help untangle the drivers of social-ecological dynamics under various land management and farming practices. Social-ecological experiments are distinct from adaptive management and scenario-planning approaches as they highlight the interactions between ecological and social processes, manipulate the social and ecological processes shaping the system and show causal links between patterns and processes. As an example, we describe a social-ecological experiment for reducing herbicide use. Social-ecological experiments offer great opportunities for increasing stakeholders’ acceptance of environmental policies implemented through adaptive management. These experiments may help to identify management practices that optimize multiple objectives, deliver a portfolio of ecosystem services and satisfy key stakeholders.
Socioeconomic and Geographical Inequalities in Births by Caesarean Section Persist in the Context of Free Maternal Health Care: Evidence from a Cross-Sectional Survey of Southwestern and North Central, Nigeria
Authors: Ajayi Anthony Idowu
Published: May 2019

Background User fee exemption for maternal and child health care service policy was introduced with a focus on providing free caesarean sections (CS) in Nigeria from 2011 to 2015. This policy had a positive impact on access to facility-based delivery, but its effect on socioeconomic and geographical inequality remains unclear. This study’s main objective is to examine access to birth by CS in the context of free maternal health care. Specifically, the study examines socio-demographic and geographical inequality in access to birth by CS among women who gave birth between 2011 and 2015 under the free maternal health care policy using a population-based survey data obtained from two of the six main regions of the country. Methods Data were obtained from 1227 women who gave birth during the period the policy was in operation selected using cluster random sampling between May and August 2016. Adjusted and unadjusted binary logistic regression models were used to examine whether there is socio-demographic and geographical inequality in access to birth by caesarean section. Results The overall caesarean section rate of 6.1% was found but varies by income (14.1% in monthly income of over $150 versus 4.9% in income of $150 and below), education (11.8% in women with higher education versus 3.9% among women with secondary education and less) and place of residence (7.8% in urban areas versus 3.6% in rural areas). Women who earn a monthly income of $150 or less were 48% less likely to have a birth by CS compared to those who earn more. Compared to women who were educated to tertiary level, women who had secondary education or less were 54% less likely to have birth by caesarean section. Conclusion This study shows that inequality in access to CS persists despite the implementation of free maternal health care services. Given the poor access to facilities with capabilities to offer CS in most rural areas, free maternal healthcare policy is not enough to make birth by CS universally accessible to all pregnant women in Nigeria.
Prediction of Multi-Inputs Bubble Column Reactor Using a Novel Hybrid Model of Computational Fluid Dynamics and Machine Learning

Published: May 2019

The combination of artificial intelligence algorithms and numerical methods has recently become popular in the prediction of macroscopic and microscopic hydrodynamics parameters of bubble column reactors. The multi inputs and outputs machine learning can cover small phase interactions or large fluid behavior in industrial domains. This numerical combination can develop the smart multiphase bubble column reactor with the ability of low-cost computational time. It can also decrease case studies for the optimization process when big data is appropriately used during learning. There are still many model parameters that need to be optimized for a very accurate artificial algorithm, including data processing and initialization, the combination of inputs and outputs, number of inputs and model tuning parameters. For this study, we aim to train four inputs big data during learning process by an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system or adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system  (ANFIS) method, and we consider the superficial gas velocity as one of the input variables, while for the first time, one of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) outputs named gas velocity is used as an output of the artificial algorithm. The results show that the increasing number of input variables improves the intelligence of the ANFIS method up to , and the number of rules during learning process has a significant effect on the accuracy of this type of modeling. The results also show that propper selection of model parameters results in more accuracy in prediction of the flow characteristics in the column structure.
A Study of Formation Damage of Selective Mineralogy Due To Bacterial Plugging
Authors: Ghalambor A. , Hayatdavoudi A. , Shahidi-Asl M.
Published: May 2019

In this study we investigate the nature of formation damage due to growth of bacteria on formation minerals. The bacteria growth results in plugging the pores with consequent reduction in permeability. We performed experiments by injecting live bacteria cells through pipettes packed separately with different clay and non-clay minerals. We tested a total of eight minerals: non-clay (Quartz, Feldspar, Calcite and Olivine) and clay (Illite, Kaolinite, Calcium montmorillonitc and Sodium montmorillonite). Bacteria used for the experiment was Bacillus Cereus. A 10% Trypticasc Soy Broth (TSB) solution as a brine was passed through packed minerals, and the flow rates were recorded periodically before and after the bacteria injection. The flow pressure, temperature and the concentration of bacteria cells were held constant during these experiments. The absolute permeability of packed porous media was determined by using Darcy's equation. The pore plugging effects were analyzed using the percentage ratio of reduced absolute permeability to the initial absolute permeability versus the injection pore volume.

We measured the Zeta Potential for each mineral under test before and after its interaction with bacteria. This was another way of testing the affinity of bacteria toward any particular mineral and their subsequent accumulation around that mineral in the pore space. For this purpose, we used particle micro-electrophorcsis instrument to measure the Zeta Potential of the bacteria, the minerals under test, as well as the cumulative Zeta Potential of mineral-bacteria assemblage.

Permeability measurements and Zeta Potential readings indicate that the type of mineral present has a significant effect on plugging characteristics of the porous media. We detennincd that Olivine as compared with other minerals had the highest tendency to attract bacteria. The reason for this ppears to be the abundance of magnesium and iron as a nutrient source for bacteria. These studies, also, showed that both clays, Calcium and Sodium montmorillinite, carry a larger net negative charge than other clay minerals after interaction with bacteria. In order to be certain about the accuracy of the results of mineral-bacterial interaction, we measured the Optical Density of solutions as well, before and after injection of bacteria into porous column. Furthermore, we verified the growth of bacteria on the minerals through the use of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).

The number of parturients requiring advanced level of care is set to increase as the trend towards an older obstetric population with increasing morbidities and levels of obesity continues. As a result, obstetric anaesthetists will continue to take on the role of peripartum physician (paralleling a growing enthusiasm for that of peri-operative physician in non-obstetric practice). These guidelines make a series of recommendations about obstetric anaesthetic practice and include information on: Staffing; Services and standards; Training and education; The labour ward team; Support services, equipment, facilities and accommodation.

The majority of incidents in anaesthesia arise from human error. Although about 20% of incidents are due to equipment failure, many incidents that are initially thought to be equipment failure turn out to be user error, or inappropriate use. Both of which indicate a lack of training in the correct use of equipment. This document gives guidance on choosing, purchasing, maintaining, replacing and disposing of equipment. It includes information on: Responsibility of anaesthetists and Trust or other healthcare organisations; Standards; Responsibility of manufacturers and suppliers; Choosing and trialling equipment; Public sector procurement; Commissioning new equipment; Maintenance, replacement and disposal of equipment; User training.
Infortunios de la identidad guerrillera. Análisis crítico de un discurso oficial de Estado durante la Guerra Sucia en México
Authors: Juárez Salazar Edgar Miguel
Published: May 2019

El presente trabajo tomará como referente el informe de gobierno pronunciado por el presidente mexicano Luis Echeverría Álvarez en 1974 que se posiciona como un discur- so particularmente analizable, para entender la disidencia y la emergencia sintomática de la identidad política de un sujeto guerrillero. Mediante un análisis crítico del discurso se pretende dar cuenta de los huecos y las fisuras que se posicionan en el discurso de Echeverría hacia la constitución identitaria de un guerrillero y en torno a las posibili- dades de descifrar las claves de una verdad universal del Estado que no sólo buscaba desprestigiar las movilizaciones guerrilleras sino también contener toda su contingencia política.
Familias educadoras e instrumentos de paz
Authors: Rodríguez Bustamante Alexander , Jaramillo Henao Alpidio de Jesús , Giraldo Usme María del Tránsito
Published: May 2019

La educación en valores para la paz, es una semilla urgente de cosechar entre la familia y la escuela. El nuevo Acuerdo de Paz constituye una nueva Agenda nacional en la que todos somos corresponsables: un nuevo Acuerdo Final para la Terminación del Conflicto y la Construcción de una Paz Estable y Duradera. Ser constructor de la paz estable y duradera, significa apuntar a una educación de presente y de futuro. La guerra en la que nos destruimos la hacemos los unos contra los otros, la paz en la que nos reconstruimos la hacemos los unos con los otros. Al derecho fundamental a la educación se corres- ponde otro derecho igualmente fundamental: “la paz ha venido siendo calificada univer- salmente como un derecho humano superior, y requisito necesario para el ejercicio de todos los demás derechos y deberes de las personas y del ciudadano” (Acuerdo Final, 2016, p. 2). Todos los seres humanos tenemos derecho a ser educados para la paz. Muchas veces las guerras y los conflictos armados no consiguen alcanzar una o dos generaciones; la paz debe alcanzar todas las generaciones; las presentes y las futuras, para romper la recirculación de la violencia. Todos tenemos “derecho a una vida libre de violencia”2. Para ello Familia y Escuela deben trabajar en simbiosis como los primeros maestros y constructores de paz.
Una mirada psicoanalítica a la melancolía y la depresión desde las películas Melancolía, Anticristo y Ninfomaníaca
Authors: Tamayo Arango Juan Santiago
Published: May 2019

Depresión y melancolía son dos conceptos diferentes, existen pocos esclarecimientos sobre dónde empieza o termina su definición en el psicoanálisis, además en su concepción psicógena y/o somática, y las similitudes que comparten. Este artículo propone abordar estos dos conceptos desde la teoría, plantear una diferencia entre ambos, desde el cambio conceptual hasta las diferencias en los movimientos psíquicos, para posteriormente abordar la trilogía de la depresión de Lars von Trier: Melancolía, Anticristo y Ninfomaníaca, en la que los aspectos mencionados se ilustran desde la vivencia de la mujer, lo cual posibilita vislumbrar estos estados, sus exigencias y consecuencias para el devenir del ser humano.
Importancia del vínculo de apego en el proceso de aprendizaje y el desarrollo de las capacidades cognitivas, desde las películas Manos milagrosas y Todos los niños son especiales
Authors: Rodríguez Jácome Gloria Lucía
Published: May 2019

Este artículo se propone establecer la importancia del vínculo de apego en el proceso de aprendizaje y el desarrollo de las capacidades cognitivas a partir del análisis de dos películas: Manos milagrosas y Todos los niños son especiales, de los directores Aamir Kan y Thomas Carter, respectivamente. Inicialmente, se conceptualizan el vínculo de apego y sus categorías: apego evitativo, apego ambivalente, apego seguro y apego desorganizado. Se evidenció que las categorías dependen de la eficiencia de la figura vincular (si cumple o no la función de base segura), potenciando la exploración y reins- talando la seguridad y la cognición de la capacidad que adquiere la criatura para hacer que la figura vincular permanezca en su mente, aunque dicha figura no esté presente; este aspecto es determinante para que se forme el aprendizaje y se desarrollen las ca- pacidades cognitivas. Se pudo concluir que el desarrollo del vínculo de apego, a pesar de que tiende a permanecer generacionalmente, no siempre se transmite de manera intacta, porque depende de la comprensión de la criatura, y en ocasiones, los saltos evolutivos, la supervivencia y la permanencia de la identidad, obligan transformaciones o adaptaciones en las estrategias del vínculo.
Socialización en familias en el contexto de incorporación en la cultura mediática
Authors: Rivillas Diaz Jhoanna
Published: May 2019

La presencia de los medios de comunicación interactivos en la vida cotidiana de las personas, parece transformar las diferentes formas en que se conoce y da a conocer la realidad sociocultural y política, donde se desenvuelven, y generan nuevas prácti- cas sociales. Partiendo de este supuesto, en el presente artículo se abordan diferentes autores que se refieren de una u otra forma, a los usos y apropiaciones que hacen los sujetos de dichos medios, especialmente en la dinámica familiar. Lo anterior, con el fin de analizar los aspectos emergentes de la socialización en familias, en el contexto de la incorporación en la cultura mediática. Una serie de estudios buscan dar cuenta, por ejemplo, del consumo que los niños, niñas y jóvenes hacen de estos medios (Buc- kingham, 2002); otros mencionan los patrones conductuales de los adolescentes a par- tir del uso de los medios de comunicación interactivos (Sander, 1990); algunos hablan del efecto que producen en la construcción de identidad y subjetividad (Castells, 2003), o bien, posibles beneficios y perjuicios del internet para los jóvenes (Postman, 2012), entre otros. Estudios que han sido revisados y analizados en el presente trabajo, con el fin de promover comprensiones sobre los aspectos transformacionales y novedosos en la socialización familiar. Las conclusiones alcanzadas tras esta revisión teórica, inciden en considerar los cambios sociales a partir de la cultura mediática, no sólo desde la carga material sino también simbólica, dado que no se trata únicamente de nuevos aparatos tecnológicos, sino de nuevas formas de ser y estar en el mundo.

Published: May 2019

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar cómo la educación en la familia contribuye a la calidad de vida de los infantes; con un enfoque cualitativo, usando el horizonte de la hermenéutica y bajo la modalidad de estado del arte. En un primer lugar, se reflexiona sobre el importante papel que tiene la familia, en tanto espacio de intermediación entre el individuo y la sociedad; posteriormente, se resalta la importancia del reconocimiento de los padres, primeros educadores de sus hijos, en aspectos psicológicos y sociales; por último, se argumenta la importancia de que la familia cumpla con eficacia su función educadora, generando un impacto positivo en la calidad de vida de los niños y su posterior incorporación al contexto social.
