Authors: Plasencia Soler Juan Antonio , Marrero Delgado Fernando , Nicado García Miriam
Published: September 2022

En las últimas décadas es cada vez más frecuente la incorporación de los principios y aspectos relacionados con el desarrollo sostenible en los procesos, actividades y funciones de los negocios, así como su integración a los sistemas y modelos de gestión empresarial. La presente investigación propone una metodología para contribuir a la sostenibilidad de las organizaciones desde la gestión estratégica. La implementación de la metodología permite diagnosticar y diseñar el rumbo estratégico para la sostenibilidad, priorizar y clasificar procesos relevantes, diseñar programas de ética y de cumplimiento normativo sobre la base de los riesgos y los valores compartidos, contribuyendo a la mejora del nivel de sostenibilidad. Los resultados muestran una tendencia al aumento del nivel de sostenibilidad en la organización objeto de estudio, así como una mejora en el comportamiento de los factores críticos de éxito e indicadores al comparar los valores del periodo inicial con respecto al tercer periodo evaluado. En el caso de las dimensiones en la organización, la mejor evaluada es la económica; sin embargo, los resultados de las dimensiones social y ecológica presentan una situación menos favorable, por lo que futuras investigaciones deberán estar dirigidas a analizar estas dimensiones y generalizar esta investigación a otras organizaciones.

Published: September 2022

Introduction

Lactose intolerance, due to lactase deficiency, may overlap with the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or lead to an incorrect diagnosis of IBS. Identification of lactose intolerance and lactase deficiency enables targeted treatment to be implemented.

The aim of the study was to search for a frequency of a lactose intolerance symptoms in patients with IBS, depending on the results of hydrogen breath test (HBT).

Materials and Methods

The study involved 56 patients with IBS and 23 healthy people. Both, IBS patients and healthy controls, were asked to complete a survey about IBS symptoms and tolerance of lactose-containing products. A HBT was performed on all subjects.

Results

Lactase deficiency was diagnosed in 60.7% of patients with IBS and 43.5% of control group. The differences between the study groups were not statistically significant. No statistically significant differences were observed between the incidence of lactase deficiency depending on the type of IBS.

In the group of patients with IBS and normal HBT results, as well as in patients with IBS and lactase deficiency, there were no statistically significant differences in the frequency of lactose intolerance symptoms. However, among people with normal HBT results, patients with IBS reported symptoms of intolerance after consuming lactose-containing foods significantly more often compared to the control group (p<0.05).

Conclusions

Frequency of lactase deficiency does not differ between IBS patients and healthy individuals. Patients with IBS are more likely to report symptoms of lactose intolerance, regardless of the HBT result, compared to healthy individuals.

Authors: Li Yuanyuan , Wang Daorong
Published: September 2022

Introduction

The study assesses the effects of different insulation temperatures of an inflatable insulation system on right hemicolectomy.

Materials and Methods

A total of 132 patients receiving right hemicolectomy using the laparoscopic caudal approach were randomly divided into four groups. The inflatable insulation system was used immediately after they entered the operating room. The perioperative core body temperature, blood coagulation index, stress index, recovery time from anesthesia, and postoperative BIS recovery were recorded 5 minutes before induction of anesthesia (T0), immediately (T1), 30 minutes (T2), 60 minutes (T3), and 120 minutes after induction of general anesthesia (T4), and at the end of operation (T5).

Results

Group C had significantly lower IL1, IL-6, IL-23, IL-13, IL-17A, TNF-α, and CRP levels but a higher IL-12 level than those of other three groups (P < 0.05). The MAP and HR values of groups A and C were significantly lower than those of groups B and D at T2, T3 and T4, which were lowest in group C (P < 0.05). The blood glucose levels of groups A and C during and after operation were lower than those of groups B and D, being lowest in group C (P < 0.05). The anesthesia recovery time and extubation time of groups A and C were shorter than those of groups B and D, being shortest in group C (P < 0.05). The time from discontinuation to BIS>80 of group C was significantly shorter than those of other three groups (P < 0.05).

Conclusions

Comprehensive insulation (43°C automatically adjusted to 38°C after 1 hour) exerts satisfactory effects on right hemicolectomy.
Genetic and immunophenotypic diversity of acute leukemias in children
Authors: Pierzyna-Świtała Magdalena , Sędek Łukasz , Mazur Bogdan
Published: September 2022

Acute leukemias are the most commonly diagnosed malignancies in children. Acute leukemias constitute a heterogeneous group of cancers resulting from clonal outgrowth and accumulation of immature precursor cells of different hematologic lineages. Cancerous transformation begins with disruption of cell maturation mechanisms triggered by particular environmental or endogenic factors, including innate and acquired immunodeficiencies as well as autoimmune diseases.

Research in the field of acute leukemias has revealed many possible genetic abnormalities in leukemic cells, including both structural and numerical aberrations. The former can produce some particular fusion genes, yielding fusion protein products which can have an oncogenic potential in hematopoietic cells. Some of them, including translocations resulting in fusion product formation BCR-ABL1 and different fusion products involving the KMT2A gene, are markers of adverse prognosis, whereas numerical aberrations with high hyperdiploidy and chromosome number exceeding 51 are markers of favorable prognosis. Detection of these aberrations already has a well-grounded clinical significance in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and plays an important role in patient risk stratification. The appearance of particular genetic changes often correlates with the expression of certain markers on the surface of leukemic cells. Determination of expression or lack of specific antigens, that is, immunophenotyping, is possible with the use of the flow cytometry technique. Flow cytometry is currently considered as a fast and broadly available technique which can provide clinically useful information in a relatively short time after biological specimen collection. Flow cytometry also enables appropriate classification of acute leukemias.
Identity and Private Transfers of Time and Money
Authors: Nicińska Anna
Published: September 2022

We introduce the perspective of identity economics to a formal model of rational choice of private transfers to examine the impact of geographical proximity on optimal time and money transfers within and outside of families. We argue that identities affect private transfers through the internalization of social norms governing informal support and incorporate in the formal model the fact that time, unlike money transfers, demands face-to-face presence. We solve the utility maximization problem and derive propositions concerning factors affecting transfers. Then we test them empirically using longitudinal and cross-sectional data from the Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe. We address the possible endogeneity with instrumental variables. Empirical results based on transfers from family members and unrelated individuals are suggestive of a significant role of identity in private transfers in line with the theoretical model. We find that geographical proximity enhances time, but not money, transfers. Our results yield evidence for a stronger role of emotional rather than genetic proximity in interhousehold transfers.

Published: September 2022

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 demands more awareness of telemedicine among the Saudi community. Few studies address the perception of diabetic patients about telemedicine in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to examine the attitude and perception of diabetic patients regarding telemedicine and to address the factors affecting satisfaction.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among diabetic patients in Saudi Arabia from March to June 2022. A structured self-prepared questionnaire was developed by Google Forms and distrusted through social media platforms. All statistical calculations were performed using: Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 26.
Results: One hundred diabetic patients completed the questionnaire. About 55% were females. The majority (94.8%) were Saudi, aged more than 40 years (77.6%), married (82%), unemployed (62%), hold a bachelor's degree (51%), and 45% had diabetes more than 5 years. About 56% experienced only audio calls, 30% experienced video calls, and 14% experienced both. Most participants (93%) were not confused during telehealth consultation, 78.8% were satisfied with the experience in general, 83% would recommend it to others, and 49% see that telehealth can be the primary mean of counseling shortly. More than half of the participants (62%) mentioned that they prefer to see a physician in person. Patients younger than 40 reported a significantly higher satisfaction rate with telehealth (95.5%) than older patients (73.3%), p = 0.037.
Conclusion: Diabetic patients were generally satisfied with telehealth consultations. Further studies are needed to examine how to enhance patients' experiences and explore their preferences.

Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Malignant Melanoma: A Literature Review
Authors: Taylor Mitchell , Farias-Eisner Robin
Published: September 2022

Melanoma is a tumor arising from uncontrolled proliferation of melanocytes, neural crest derived cells responsible for production of pigment in the basal layer of the epidermis. While the prevalence of melanoma is greatest in fair-skinned populations, racial and ethnic minority populations disproportionately experience lower rates of survival when diagnosed with melanoma. Recent studies indicate that, among minority populations, melanoma tends to present at a more advanced stage with more aggressive melanoma subtypes, increased and atypical distributions over the body, and increased tumor depths. Populations of color are also shown to carry unique mutations in BRCA genes that may predispose them to developing melanoma and account for increased mortality rates. Socioeconomic status has also been linked to melanoma disparities, where limited access to quality healthcare including skin exams, insurance, and education may result in decreased melanoma survival rates. The aim of this article is to review the relationship between melanoma and underserved communities as well as discuss the current explanations behind these observations.

Published: September 2022

COVID-19 has greatly impacted patients’ ability to receive medical care. Early on during the pandemic, skin cancer diagnosis and treatment were often delayed due to fear of viral spread. In certain locales, executive orders have prevented physicians from performing procedures that were not immediately lifesaving. This study aims to assess patient-reported quality of care and sense of safety while receiving Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) during the pandemic. The intent of this study is to identify patient-specific factors that influence concerns and feelings of safety, and thus guide future safety measures. A telephone survey was administered to assess patient concerns about treatment delay, feelings of safety, and satisfaction. A retrospective chart review was performed to collect demographics, comorbidities, tumor characteristics, etc. A total of 144 patients (102 male, 42 female; average 71.9 years old) completed the study. Overall, patients felt safe and satisfied, with 75.7% reporting 10/10 safety (average 9.5/10) and 84% reporting 10/10 satisfaction (average 9.7/10). Patients had more notable levels of concern regarding pandemic-related treatment delays (median 2/10), compared to the risk of contracting COVID during their visit (median 1/10). Concerns regarding treatment delay included an increase in cancer size, spread, pain, and scarring. This study demonstrates that high levels of patient feelings of safety and satisfaction can be obtained with MMS during the pandemic. As the pandemic continues, it is imperative that patients can receive high quality and timely care without compromising safety. Outpatient dermatologic surgery can continue without jeopardizing patients' overall feeling of safety and satisfaction.
Thermal Burn Wounds Produce Greater Scars Compared to Similarly Sized Excisional Wounds And Topical Amiloride Applied to Burn-Induced Scars Shows Scar Reduction
Authors: Rodrigues Adrian E , Dolivo David , Li Yingxing , Hou Chun , Sun Lauren , Mustoe Thomas A. , Hong Seok Jong , Galiano Robert D.
Published: September 2022

Background: Victims of severe traumatic injuries such as large surface area lacerations and thermal burns require substantial medical care that primarily promotes healing.  And although this care is essential, there is a lack of pharmacological treatments that reduce the resulting scars, consequently leaving many traumatic victims with profusely disfigured skin.

Methods: A rabbit-ear injury model was used to compare scar progression in adjacently paired contact thermal burns (n=24) and excisional wounds (n=16).  Once that model revealed significant differences in scar hypertrophy between these two types of injuries, a succeeding study involved solely inducing burns, with the resulting wounds undergoing scar elevation index (SEI) and gene expression analysis after unilateral topical treatment with either amiloride (n=12), celecoxib (n=11) or contralateral vehicle control (n=10 for each of the two control groups).  

Results: In the initial burn and excisional wound comparison study, thermal burns showed significantly larger scars, both in scar height measured at four timepoints (P<0.0001, <0.01, <0.05, and <0.05) and histologically by analyzing the SEI (P<0.05).  In the succeeding project, burn-induced scars treated with amiloride also demonstrated a significantly reduced histological SEI (P<0.05) compared to scars receiving vehicle control.  However, relative PTGS2, ACTA2 and COL1A1 expression was not significantly different in scar tissues treated with amiloride compared to those receiving vehicle control.  Also, no significant differences in SEI were determined in scars treated with celecoxib compared to vehicle control

Conclusions: Contact thermal burn injuries create profusive hypertrophic scars compared to similarly sized excisional wounds.  Topical application of amiloride to burn-induced scars reduce scar formation, yet this finding necessitates further studies to comprehend the mechanism behind its scar-reducing effect.

Published: September 2022

Introduction: Patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) report HS flares with increased heat and sweat. However, there is a paucity of literature on whether there is an increased ambulatory visit burden for HS patients during the warmer months.
Methods: We used a nationally-representative database of ambulatory visits in the United States, the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey to examine the seasonal trends of ambulatory visits for patients with HS. Data analyses were performed using SAS Studio 9.04.01 (SAS Institute, Cary, N.C., USA), and variance in the complex survey design is accounted for by utilizing survey weights to create national estimates and confidence intervals.
Results: We identified approximately 2.33 million outpatient visits (95% confidence interval 1.95 million-2.71 million) between 2008-2018 with a diagnosis of HS. Approximately 21% of visits occurred during Winter to early Spring (January to April), 51% during late Spring to Summer (May to August), and 28% during Autumn (September to December). The number of visits differed significantly between these three time periods (X2=13.1, p=0.0014).
Conclusion: Awareness of the increased burden of HS during summer months may help guide management, including anticipatory counseling on strategic lifestyle modifications and initiation of anti-hyperhidrosis treatments.

Zoonotic Importance of Bovine Tuberculosis in Ethiopia: An Overview
Authors: Pal Mahendra , Tolawak Dinaol , Bikila Urgessa
Published: September 2022

Bovine tuberculosis (BTB) is an important zoonotic disease that affects both domestic animals as well as humans in many countries of the world. The disease is caused by Mycobacterium bovis, which is responsible for 10–15% of human tuberculosis cases. BTB poses an occupational health hazard to the cattle owners, butchers, animal attendants, and veterinarians. The source of infection is exogenous and the respiratory tract is considered the chief portal of entry of the organism. The mode of spread of bacteria is aerogenous. BTB is endemic in Ethiopia, and it is mostly transmitted to people through the consumption of unpasteurized contaminated milk. Miliary tubercular lesions, chronic cough, blockages of the airways, alimentary system, or blood vessels, and lymph node enlargement are all symptoms of tuberculosis. Single intradermal or comparative intradermal tuberculin tests are useful delayed-type hypersensitivity tools for diagnosing tuberculosis in live animals. It is also employed in tuberculosis eradication programs and international trade activity. Vaccination of calves with an attenuated BTB strain known as Bacillus of Calmette and Guerin, as well as testing and culling, is significant measures in the prevention and control of BTB in endemic areas like Ethiopia. The proper pasteurization of milk before human consumption is a significant measure to reduce the public health risk posed by BTB.

The theme of fate in the work of Gara Garayev
Authors: Сафаралибекова Рена Исмет кызы
Published: September 2022

Статья посвящена исследованию одной из важнейших тем в творчестве Кара Караева - темы рока. Впервые рассматривается эволюция понимания рока в творчестве Караева на примере таких произведений, как симфоническая поэма«Лейли и Меджнун», балеты «Семь красавиц», «Тропою грома», симфонические гравюры «Дон Кихот» и романтический мюзикл «Неистовый гасконец». В более ранних произведениях Караева акцент делается на представлении рока как объективно существующей силы. В более поздних сочинениях внимание композитора переносится на личность, на осознание своего предназначения как высшей, духовной ценности личности. Ключевые слова: судьба, принцип остинато, предназначение художника,традиция Бетховена, традиция Чайковского

The article is devoted to the study of the problematics of one of the most important topics in the works of Gara Garayev - the theme of Fate. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the formulation of the problem. For the first time, the article considers the evolution of understanding the theme of Fate in the works of Gara Garayev using examples such as the symphonic poem "Leyli and Majnun", the ballets "Seven Beauties" and "The Path of Thunder", symphonic engravings "Don Quixote", and the romantic musical "Furious Gascon". In Garayev's earlier works, the emphasis is on the presentation of Fate as an objectively existing force. In later works, the composer's attention shifts to human personality, to the awareness of destiny as the highest spiritual power of an individual

Published: September 2022

Carbodiimide-fueled anhydride bond formation has been used to enhance the mechanical properties of permanently crosslinked polymer networks, giving materials that exhibit gel-gel-gel transitions. Temporary changes in mechanical properties result from a transient network of anhydride crosslinks which eventually dissipate by hydrolysis. Over an order of magnitude increase in storage modulus is possible through carbodiimide fueling. The time-dependent mechanical properties could be modulated by the concentration of carbodiimide, temperature, and primary chain architecture. Because the materials remain rheological solids, applications such as temporally controlled adhesives and rewritable spatial patterns of mechanical properties are possible.
An improved protocol for the selection of structures from molecular dynamics of organic systems in solution: the value of investigating different wavelet families

Published: September 2022

Wavelets are mathematical tools used to decompose and represent another function described in the time domain, allowing the study of each component of the original function with a scale-compatible resolution. Thus, these transforms have been used to select conformations from Molecular Dynamics (MD) trajectories in systems of fundamental and technological interest. Recently our research group has used wavelets to develop and validate a method, meant to select structures from MD trajectories, which we named OWSCA (Optimal Wavelet Signal Compression algorithm). Here we moved forward on this project by demonstrating the efficacy of this method on the study of 3 different systems (non-flexible organic, flexible organic and protein). For each system, 93 wavelets were investigated in order to verify which is the best one for a given organic system. The results show that the best wavelets were different for each system and, also, very close to the experimental values, with the wavelets db1, rbio 3.1 and bior1.1 being selected for the non-flexible, flexible organic, and protein systems, respectively. This reinforces our OWSCA as a very efficient and promising method for the selection of structures from MD trajectories of different classes of compounds. Our findings also point out that additional studies considering wavelets families is needed for defining the best wavelet for representing each system under study.

The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) that forms on Li-ion battery anodes is critical to their long-term performance, however observing SEI forma- tion processes at the buried electrode-electrolyte interface is a significant challenge. Here we show that operando soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy in total electron yield mode can resolve the chemical evolution of the SEI during electrochemical formation in a Li-ion cell, with nm-scale interface sensitivity. O, F, and Si K-edge spectra, acquired as a function of potential, reveal when key reactions occur on high-capacity amorphous Si anodes cycled with and without fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC). The sequential formation of inorganic (LiF) and organic (-(C=O)O-) components is thereby revealed, and results in layering of the SEI. The addition of FEC leads to SEI formation at higher potentials which is implicated in the rapid healing of SEI defects and the improved cycling performance observed. Operando TEY-XAS offers new insights into the formation mechanisms of electrode-electrolyte interphases and their stability for a wide variety of electrode materials and electrolyte formulations.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the most critical health issues in the health care system. Patients with Diabetes are subject to various complications. Diabetic foot infection is one of most incapacitating kinds of human infection. Due to growing antimicrobial and antibiotic resistance, existing medications have undesirable side effects and inadequate healing mechanisms. Probiotics are either a single organism or combination of organisms capable of boosting the body’s immune system, promoting anti-inflammatory action, and enhancing the wound healing process at the site of an infection. Therefore, it is a revolutionary strategy to use probiotics to eradicate harmful microorganisms and enhance wound healing. Hence the present study was performed to compare the conventional method and local application of probiotics to treat Diabetic foot ulcer. In present study average age of patients in both group were found almost similar 58.58 years in control group and 57.3 years in probiotic group. The diabetic foot wound size of all patients in both groups were evaluated and it was found that mean wound size in both group were almost same. During the study it was found that there was no significant difference in mean wound bed score between two groups on day 1(Control:8.12; Probiotic: 8.24), whereas a significant difference observed on day 7(Control: 10.36; Probiotic; 11.14) and day 14 (Control:12.78; Probiotic:13.56). An increase was seen in mean wound bed score in both groups from day 1 to day 14 but it was observed more in Probiotic group. Present study concludes that probiotics can be safely utilized in therapy of infected diabetic wounds. The probiotic when used along with conventional therapy could results in the hastening the wound healing process as evidenced by significant difference in the day 7 and 14 wound bed scores. Although more studies are needed in this field to give better evidence for support of probiotic use.

Desde el año 2016 la tendencia creciente en la matrícula de estudiantes en la Educación Superior tuvo su punto de inflexión y empezó a mostrar cifras que hoy en día parecen mostrar un cambio en la tendencia de la demanda en el sector. Al día de hoy la tendencia se mantiene para lo cual diferentes explicaciones las cuales han sido miradas desde distintas ópticas o perspectivas, pero todo indica que es un fenómeno multicausal que hace más complejo y difícil llegar a fórmulas que garanticen la recuperación y aseguren avanzar por la senda del éxito para superar la crisis. Al recorrer el camino se han venido tomando acciones por parte de la dirección de las instituciones de Educación Superior (IES): decisiones en lo académico, administrativo, financiero, etc., las cuales aunque en términos generales bien intencionadas, vistas en sus efectos, pueden tener resultados positivos a corto plazo con consecuencia en el mediano y en el largo negativas, al afectar factores y características de calidad contempladas en los modelos de acreditación existentes en el mundo y particularmente en el vigente en Colombia. Además, esos efectos pueden afectar el logro de resultados relacionados con la competitividad no solo de la institución, sino del profesional en su ingreso y desempeño en el escenario laboral. Utilizando el lenguaje apropiado de la definición de la estrategia y los planes de acción, se analizará el fenómeno desde sus diferentes aristas causales, las implicaciones a corto mediano y, largo plazo con relación a la Calidad de su quehacer, la intencionalidad de su oferta académica, su respuesta a la sociedad que sirve, en el marco de lo que constituye el Sistema de Calidad de la Educación Superior actualmente, la respuestas a la sociedad y los empleadores en términos de la propiedad de la formación profesional impartida, el aporte del profesional en su ejercicio laboral, estos dos últimos factores claves de éxito para la continuidad de las IES en su actividad. Además, se plantearán recomendaciones para la mejora de las acciones de contención y mitigación de los efectos negativos y el desarrollo de la resiliencia necesaria para la continuidad organizacional.

Los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje de ingeniería en Colombia cada vez se vuelven más conscientes de cómo aportar a los problemas actuales y oportunidades futuras. Por ello alinearse con entes acreditadores permite obtener una visión externa que, desde una perspectiva crítica, posibilita generar mejores lineamientos de dichos procesos. En la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad de los Andes, desde hace varios años, el reto ha sido diseñar procesos, que, en el marco de las guías externas orientadoras, permiten que los estudiantes sean hábiles observadores de las circunstancias reales y, de esa manera, logren en equipo proponer soluciones de ingeniería con impacto. En ese contexto cursos-proyecto propuestos por profesores en Ingeniería Industrial e Ingeniería de Sistemas y Computación han buscado y logrado integrar una figura externa relevante para darle contexto a los estudiantes, propiciar pertinencia en las soluciones y aportar experiencia de su propia vida. Dicha figura ha sido la de la mentoría. Los mentores han permitido en estos cursos que se logre una alianza consistente entre el mundo académico y el mundo fuera de las aulas. La articulación con mentores facilita y promueve el contacto directo y permanente con egresados, actividad notoriamente destacada en los procesos de acreditación. De esos dos cursos han emergido dos mentores, que ahora y desde hace ya varios años, son profesionales y aportan de manera muy creativa al proceso de aprendizaje. Estos ingenieros han creado dos organizaciones que trabajan colectivamente con el equipo docente del curso: Datattrafic y Distancia Cero. En este artículo se presentarán las oportunidades, fortalezas y ventajas de enriquecer varias de las competencias de un aprendiz de ingeniería gracias al trabajo en equipo entre mentores, profesores y estudiantes. Se presentará adicionalmente los resultados de algunos de los casos exitosos que han sido fruto de este trabajo en equipo que ya lleva varios años.

En el contexto de la formación en ingeniería ha venido siendo una preocupación reiterada la motivación de los estudiantes de colegio para encaminarse hacia carreras de ciencia y tecnología. Este artículo es el aporte de un proceso de investigación de tesis donde, basado en el trabajo con un colegio rural colombiano, se desarrolla una propuesta didáctica para reforzar los conocimientos de una manera lúdica y de esta manera motivar a los estudiantes su selección de carrera. Se presenta el contexto colombiano STEM y se propone el diseño y aplicación de un Sistema Didáctico de refuerzo escolar para estudiantes de primaria entre los 7 y 11 años del sector rural. Con dicho modelo se evidencia en este artículo cómo, utilizando enfoques de Educación STEM, se logra fomentar la igualdad de género y el cuidado del medio ambiente. A través de 3 etapas principales (Diagnóstico, Diseño e Implementación) y desde un enfoque sistémico de gestión organizacional, se realizó un caso de estudio con los estudiantes de grado 5° de la IED El Carmen, sede Salitre ubicada en el municipio de Guasca, Cundinamarca, utilizando las metodologías de intervención en ingeniería CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) y PAR (Participatory Action Research). Se presenta adicionalmente un estudio de su viabilidad, analizando las implicaciones éticas, ambientales y culturales de esta herramienta. Por último, se presenta un análisis para sensibilizar sobre el rol de la ingeniería en mejorar la calidad de vida de las poblaciones, su contribución a la acción humanitaria, en este caso a través de la educación sostenible. Los resultados del proyecto podrían ser la base de programas de formación de vocaciones tempranas científico-técnicas que se promueve desde el programa Ondas dentro del cual el acercamiento a estas pueda darse con material desarrollado localmente que es fundamental para la creación de nuestra identidad en S&T.

En el contexto global del siglo XXI, formar por proyectos en el aula aplicando competencias básicas y específicas a los estudiantes de ingeniería es una metodología basada en aprendizajes que le permite tener un pensamiento crítico, conocimientos y competencias claves en su formación profesional como lo es, elaborar proyectos que den respuestas a problemas de la vida real y los estudiantes se convierten en protagonistas de su propio aprendizaje desarrollando autonomía y responsabilidad, porque ellos son los encargados de planificar, estructurar el trabajo y elaborar el producto para resolver la cuestión planteada y el docente se convierte en el guía y apoyo en su proceso de formación. De acuerdo a lo anterior, el objetivo de este estudio es diseñar un modelo de Proyecto de Aula como estrategia didáctica para el desarrollo de competencias investigativas en los estudiantes de ingeniería de la Fundación Universitaria del Areandina. Para este propósito se realizó una investigación descriptiva, y un grupo focal, cuya muestro quedó constituida por focus group de diez personas informantes entre director de programa y docentes de diferentes áreas de formación. Para la recolección se utilizó un instrumento con preguntas estructuradas dirigida a la población objeto de estudio, valiendo a través del juicio de dos expertos. Los datos obtenidos se interpretaron utilizando el análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo de la información, de la misma manera haciendo contrastación con la teoría, permitiendo de esta manera construir el modelo de proyecto de aula para aplicar en el aula de clase.
