La 'Lesson Study' como estrategia formativa para aprender a enseñar en la universidad. Algunas reflexiones derivadas de un Proyecto de Innovación Educativa desarrollado en la Universidad Nacional de Educación (UNAE)
Authors: Del Río Fernández José Luis
Published: April 2021

En el artículo se comparten algunas reflexiones derivadas de un Proyecto de Innovación Educativa desarrollado en la Universidad Nacional de Educación (Ecuador), titulado “La mejora de la práctica docente universitaria mediante la Investigación-Acción Colaborativa y la Lesson Study”. A lo largo de dos ciclos académicos, un grupo de profesores/as decidió trabajar de manera colaborativa en el diseño, la implementación, la observación y la valoración de una serie de “lecciones” o sesiones de clase que sirvieron como base para el análisis de la docencia impartida. Durante este proceso, las estrategias y herramientas para la recogida de información fueron la observación no participante, la lista de cotejo y el registro videográfico. La posterior triangulación de los datos obtenidos y la discusión grupal permitió descubrir e identificar las fortalezas y las debilidades encontradas en el desarrollo de las mismas. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que, gracias al diálogo y a la reflexión compartida, los docentes que integraban el equipo de trabajo tuvieron la posibilidad de modificar o reinterpretar ciertos esquemas de comportamiento que se consideraban habituales en el salón de clase. Además, emergieron nuevas formas de abordar la enseñanza en determinadas asignaturas. Para cerrar el escrito, se plantean algunas ideas y elementos de discusión que invitan a continuar el debate sobre la necesaria formación pedagógica para el desarrollo de la docencia universitaria.
Análisis DAFO del quehacer profesional de la Educación Social en los servicios sociales: posibilidades y límites
Authors: Varela Crespo Laura
Published: April 2021

El artículo presenta un análisis de las prácticas educativas de las educadoras y los educadores sociales en los servicios sociales, centrándose en el estudio de los aspectos internos y externos al funcionamiento de dichos servicios que facilitan o limitan las posibilidades de desarrollar una acción socioeducativa de calidad. El trabajo se sustenta en una investigación de corte cualitativo llevada a cabo con 14 educadoras sociales y 10 personas expertas en el ámbito de los servicios sociales, realizando - mediante un cuestionario online- un análisis DAFO que permita indagar en los factores que inciden en el desarrollo de acciones socioeducativas orientadas a capacitar a las personas en tareas que les posibiliten ganar mayores cuotas de autonomía y ampliar sus redes de apoyo familiar y comunitarias. Los resultados ponen de manifiesto la presencia de limitaciones para la práctica de la Educación Social en los servicios sociales vinculadas a la falta de inversión en política social, a la excesiva burocratización y centralización de los servicios, a la falta de coordinación en los equipos de trabajo o a la ausencia de mirada socioeducativa en las acciones que se llevan a cabo. El trabajo en red se percibe como la principal oportunidad para la mejora de las prácticas socioeducativas en los servicios sociales, destacando la motivación y el compromiso profesional como fortaleza. Las conclusiones señalan que tanto las educadoras sociales como el grupo de expertos coinciden en la necesidad de potenciar las redes socioeducativas en los territorios a fin de mejorar el funcionamiento de los servicios sociales e impulsar la iniciativa ciudadana. Se considera necesaria una mayor reflexión acerca de la práctica profesional, dado que las limitaciones no solamente derivan de factores externos, sino también de aspectos internos de la profesión (formación continua, establecimiento de criterios comunes de actuación, etc.).
Assessment of Climate Change by Crop Yields
Authors: Bekhzod Burkhanov
Published: April 2021

With the United States producing 41% of the world's maize and 38% of the world's soybeans, the impact on US crop yields has implications for world food supply. We combine the US state results committee with a detailed climate information index that integrates the entire cycle between baseline and most extreme temperatures each day and throughout the day of the development season. The temperature rises to around 29 ° C for corn, 30 ° C for soybeans, and 32 ° C for cotton, but temperatures above this limit can be devastating. The slope of the attenuation towards the full ideal is more extreme than the slope below it. Similar non-linear and aberrant relationships can be seen taking into account the temporal arrangement of climate and yield or cross-sectional diversity. This suggests the possibility of limited variability in plant species given the fact that the last crop introduced the conversion of the farmer to a warmer environment, whereas the previous crop did not ... Considering current developing regions, normal yields by zone are expected to fall by 31-43% under slowing warming and 67-79% at the fastest-warming conditions before the end of this century.

Published: April 2021

Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) is a multifactorial disorder based on both genetic and environmental factors involved in development. The basic problem lies in the structure of heart leading to CHD that occurs in walls, valves, arteries and veins of heart. During cell cycle, the gene that controls this process may mutate, causing disturbance in any portion of heart leading to disturbed blood flow, blood flow in wrong direction or complete blockage. Defect may range from simple with no manifestations to complex with severe symptoms. Simple defects need no treatment while some babies with complex birth defects during birth require special care, vaccination, medication or otherwise treated with surgery. The incidence of CHD has declined from 80 to 20% due to progress in heart surgery techniques, medical treatment and interventional cardiology. Various genetic and non-genetic increase the susceptibility for CHD. The diagnosis and treatment of CHD has greatly improved in recent years. Almost all the children with CHD survive to adulthood and spend healthy and active lives after being treated

Authors: Tewari Pallavi , Nikhil Vineeta , Sajjanhar Isha
Published: April 2021

Tetracyclines were introduced as broad spectrum antibiotic for the treatment of various infections, both in children and adults. One of the major drawback with tetracycline is its incorporation into the tooth that are calcifying leading to discoloration which ranges from yellow grey to brownish black as they have the ability to chelate calcium. There is a possibility that this discoloration may not be limited to developing tooth but may also affect adult dentition after eruption. When given over long periods of time in adults, the tetracycline molecule is incorporated into the continuously forming secondary dentin. It is possible that continuous exposure of the incorporated tetracycline to the sun might lead to the formation of oxidation product and lead to discoloration. This case report suggests minimally invasive strategies to manage tetracycline staining in adult dentition.

Authors: Bender Matthias
Published: April 2021

The article aims to determine which aspects need to be considered to operate effective and efficient talent management.Three hypotheses were formulated, which were processed with qualitative content analysis. The investigation was performed using the software MaxQDA.The following aspects have been identified as critical pillars for successful talent management:

The process of talent management must be implemented holistically.
It must be clear which positions in the company contribute in a particular way to the company's success and what requirements the personnel intended for this purpose must meet.
Talent management should play its part both in times of recovery and in times of crisis to

Always ensure the consistent availability of mission-critical workers.
take advantage of the crisis to prepare for an expansion starting at the beginning of the recovery.
Learning Disabilities of Legal Trainees- Pre-Admission Tests and Students’ Performance- Case Study of ZCAS University

Published: April 2021

Even though students with eidetic or photographic memories are naturally found in universities, it is not necessary that all the students be of the same super endowment. However, in the university setting, we need students who have stability in all faculties so that the learning process is maximised through constructive and interactive instruction. Issues in education can neither be divorced from the fact-value dichotomy nor from the nature-nurture imperatives that affect and determine educational outcomes. In this regard, neither can some issues escape some element of subjectivity nor others be strictly measured and assessed by scientific strictures. The objective of this paper is to examine some of the learning disabilities among our law students at ZCAS University, and how these affect their academic performance. We settled on this topic after noting that some of our students do not perform well because of many learning disabilities which could be hidden from our view and which should have been diagnosed during the pre-admission period; and also diagnosed through pre-admission tests. Our objective was to establish some of the underlying causes of their poor performance during tests and final year examinations. In this paper, we theoretically explore learning disabilities related to mental, physical, social, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the well-being of our students. The research took the form of administering questionnaires to the relevant students through purposive sampling. With regard to the methodological approach, we adopted an exploratory approach by using descriptive, quantitative and analytical qualitative methods such as content and thematic analysis. We found out that some students came to the university not because they had academic strength and aptitude in the field of law but because they could afford to pay for the programme. We also found out that some of the students admitted to the university had poor learning styles and habits such as spending too much time online with friends. Furthermore, it came to light that some lecturers did not deliver lectures to suit the learning styles and preferences of students. Our findings were not conclusive enough as similar tests have to be carried out in future in different places to validate and corroborate our findings.

Background: Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a common otological problem in daily clinical practice. It is crucial to know the bacterial pathogens and their antimicrobial susceptibilities in patients with CSOM to achieve a good clinical outcome.

Objectives: To identify the aerobic bacterial pathogens and their antibiotic sensitivities in subjects with CSOM in Al-Ramadi Teaching Hospital.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive study included 102 subjects with a clinical diagnosis of CSOM (aural discharge >2 weeks, eardrum perforation, and conductive deafness). Purulent discharge was obtained from the middle ear with sterile swabs and cultured for bacterial microorganisms. The sensitivity of the isolated agents to antimicrobials was evaluated by a culture and sensitivity method. SPSS version 22 was used for statistical analysis of the data. Differences were considered statistically significant at p < 0.05.

Results: Out of 3634 outpatient subjects, 102 (2.8%) presented with active CSOM. The age range of the patients was 1–70 years (mean 28.90 ± 19.8). There were 58 females (56.9%). Out of 117 ear swab specimens, 107 (91.5%) yielded positive cultures. The majority (101, 94.4%) of the specimens yielded a single organism. There was a high statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) between gram-positive (n = 77, 68.1%) and gram-negative pathogens (n = 36, 31.9%). Pseudomonas aeruginosa in 65 (57.5%) cases and Staphylococcus aureus in 19 (16.8%) cases were the two most commonly isolated organisms. The drugs imipenem (93.8%), amikacin (86.1%), azteronam (83.1%), and ciprofloxacin (81.5%) were effective against P. aeruginosa (p < 0.001). Amikacin (100%), imipenem (94.7%), ciprofloxacin (68.4%), and gentamicin (63.1%) were the most effective antibiotics against Staph. aureus (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: The prevalence rate of active CSOM was 2.8%. Ciprofloxacin showed high effectiveness against the two most common isolated pathogens (P. aeruginosa and Staph. aureus); therefore, it could be used as empirical therapy for active CSOM cases.
Polymyxin B hemoperfusion therapy and extracorporeal CO2 removal in a patient with COVID-19: A case report

Introduction: In December 2019, an outbreak of pneumonia caused by a novel coronavirus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) quickly spread and the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) became a pandemic. We report on a 54-year-old patient with SARS-CoV-2 infection suffering from septic shock due to nosocomial infection and pulmonary derangement caused by SARS-CoV-2. The patient was treated with polymyxin B hemoperfusion (PMX-HP), a blood purification therapy against septic shock, followed by continuous low flow extracorporeal CO2 removal therapy.

Case Report: A 54-year-old man was hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Chest computed tomography (CCT) showed extensive non-segmental ground glass opacity. Despite the initiation of standard therapy, respiratory failure progressed. After two days of polymyxin B hemoperfusion therapy (PMX-HP) with adjunctive corticosteroid for multi-resistant Gram-negative infection (Acinetobacter) the patient’s condition improved. In rapidly progressive COVID-19 cases with secondary infection, the early use of PMX-HP may avoid the need for mechanical ventilation by suppressing local inflammation of the lung.

Conclusion: The concern of life-threatening bacterial infections in critically ill COVID-19 patients due to antibiotics resistance is high. Secondary bacterial infections may develop during or following COVID-19 infection. The use of PMX-HP in septic shock patients has resulted in decreased dependency on ventilators, which is a serious issue during this COVID-19 pandemic. Combined and less invasive approaches might be considered in COVID-19 patients with multiple organ failure (MOF).

Externalización de costes y consumo político
Authors: De Gómez Pérez-Aradros Carlos Gil
Published: April 2021

La catástrofe de noviembre de 2015 que afectó a poblaciones de Brasil como Bento Rodrigues, Paracatú o Gesteira y que tendrá consecuencias sociales, económicas y medioambientales durante generaciones, nos debe servir para reflexionar sobre los hábitos de vida en el norte industrializado. Este artículo pretende conectar este desastre con una práctica cada vez más extendida, como es el consumo político, tanto en su vertiente positiva como negativa: buycott y boycott.
