Published: December 2022

Suicide is the second-leading cause of death for women in the postpartum period. Psychiatric disorders are common in pregnancy, affecting 15-29% of pregnant women, whereas clinical depression affects 10%-15% of them. Women during pregnancy and the postpartum period are particularly vulnerable to suicidal ideation. The prevalence of suicidal ideation ranges from 5% to 14% worldwide, while the rate of suicide during pregnancy and the postpartum period lies between two to three per 100,000 for countries like the UK and the USA. The main risk factor for suicidal ideation in the perinatal period is depression. Other mental illnesses, like schizophrenia, anxiety, bipolar and adjustment disorder, consist of risk factors too. Some of the high-risk social characteristics for suicide thoughts are younger age, unpartnered status and well-being with their marriage, high parity, non-Caucasian race, no health insurance, poor social support, unplanned pregnancy, low-income origin country, unemployment, low educational level and smoking. Obstetrics complications like severe vaginal laceration, low weight infants and admission in the neonatal intensive care unit, perinatal fetal mortality and prior abortions consist of risk factors. Physical, psychological or sexual intimate partner violence, sexual trauma and history of physical or sexual abuse in the army, physical or sexual abuse during childhood, all contribute to suicidal thought. Knowledge of the psychiatric history from the time of enrolment in maternity units, better identification of mental health problems via psychometric screening tools, as well as the use of proper referral and medication, should be the routine in health care services.

Published: December 2022

O Brasil é o segundo maior produtor de carne de frango do mundo e o abate de frango depende de um elevado consumo de energia. A gestão eficiente de energia elétrica está diretamente relacionada à conservação dos recursos naturais e a competitividade econômica. Portanto, a produção mais limpa (P+L) é uma ferramenta favorável para otimizar processos e minimizar os impactos ambientais. O objetivo deste trabalho foi implementar a metodologia de P+L para o gerenciamento de energia elétrica em um frigorífico de aves na região oeste de Santa Catarina, Brasil. A implementação dessa metodologia gerou benefícios ambientais, como a melhoria significativa de 4,5% no indicador de energia elétrica em kWh/tonelada do processo de produção de frango, relacionado a todas as oportunidades implementadas. Esse percentual corresponde a economia de mais de 1100 MWh por ano, o que representou um mês de consumo médio de eletricidade de mais de 10 mil domicílios familiares no Brasil, demonstrando desta maneira uma contribuição socioeconômica sustentável. Proporcionou também benefícios econômicos, uma vez que foram identificadas mais de 130 oportunidades, destas, 76% foram implementadas com boas práticas operacionais e baixos investimentos, contribuindo para melhorar o desempenho da empresa.

Published: December 2022

Ecossistemas de água doce são pontos críticos para o desenvolvimento humano. No entanto, os diferentes tipos de uso do solo (ex. urbano e rural) causam grandes modificações (ex. remoção da mata ciliar, assoreamento do leito dos rios, descarga de efluentes industriais) no entorno destes ecossistemas de água doce. Consequentemente, a biodiversidade dependente destes ecossistemas vem sofrendo grandes perdas. Especialmente, as comunidades de macroinvertebrados bentônicos, que por serem sensíveis a fontes poluidoras, podem ser utilizados como bioindicadores da qualidade da água. Assim, o presente artigo objetiva avaliar o efeito dos diferentes usos do solo na comunidade de macroinvertebrados bentônicos em riachos subtropicais. O estudo foi realizado em riachos de primeira e segunda ordem, da microbacia do Lajeado São José, Chapecó-SC, Brasil. Ao todo, investigamos quatro riachos urbanos, dois rurais e três naturais. Foram coletados 496 indivíduos, os maiores valores de riqueza foram observados em riachos de zonas naturais (8,33±4,72), seguido de áreas rurais (7,00±4,24) e áreas urbanas (4,00±1,82). Os maiores valores de abundância foram observados zonas urbanas (61,75±84,71), seguido de rurais (46,0±52,32) e áreas naturais (23,66±17,50). Por fim, constatamos que os diferentes usos do solo influenciaram negativamente na qualidade ambiental e na comunidade de macroinvertebrados bentônicos.

Published: December 2022

A importância de demonstrar a qualidade de medições químicas está cada vez mais exigida. Dados analíticos não confiáveis podem comprometer conclusões e tomadas de decisão gerando prejuízos, podendo muitas vezes colocar em perigo a saúde pública. Para garantir que um método analítico gere informações confiáveis ele deve passar por uma avaliação criteriosa antes de ser colocado em uso, chamada de validação, ou confirmação quando o método já for reconhecido internacionalmente. O objetivo deste trabalho foi confirmar o método de determinação de fluoreto na matriz água (Método Colorimétrico Spadns 4500 F- D do SMWW). Os parâmetros avaliados foram: seletividade, linearidade, faixa de trabalho, limite de detecção, limite de quantificação, recuperação, precisão e incerteza. Em relação à seletividade, observou-se que a turbidez interfere quando apresenta valores iguais ou acima de 2,15 NTU e o alumínio interfere negativamente em quaisquer concentrações. Com a remoção da turbidez através de filtração à vácuo com filtro de 0,45 µm e aguardando 4 horas antes de realizar a leitura para inibir a interferência do alumínio, foi possível demonstrar a correlação entre os coeficientes angulares. Os LD e LQ da curva foram, respectivamente, de 0,04 e 0,07 mg/L de F-. A faixa linear de trabalho determinada foi entre 0,1 e 2,0 mg/L de F-, e a curva-padrão apresentou coeficiente de correlação maior do que 0,99, que demonstra a linearidade da metodologia. As precisões, repetibilidade e precisão intermediária, superiores a 90% foram consideradas adequadas. As recuperações foram de 97%, nas três faixas avaliadas. A incerteza expandida estimada foi de ±0,03 mg/L. Foi possível demonstrar e concluir que a metodologia apresenta resultados confiáveis e adequados para o propósito.

Gandhi’s My Experiments with Truth: Cultural and Social Expression of an Indian
Authors: Singh Rathore Gajraj
Published: December 2022

Gandhi a social reformer, philosopher, thinker, educationist and above all a seeker after truth also developed the new dimensions of expression through his writings. His writings reflect the contemporary society and its vast panorama in which his global vision is absorbed deliberately with an acute analysis made by him through his incessant experiments towards life and society. With the help his spiritual memoir My Experiments with Truth Gandhi poured his philosophical views analyzing the social and cultural facets searching for Truth and inculcating the Self. Influenced greatly by the typical Indian tradition Gandhi assimilated himself with society and paved the path of morality including truth, non-violence, perseverance, positivity, love, respect and human values. To him culture is inseparable; it is an integral part of individual. Culture is the sole factor on which the foundation of individual character lies. His ardency for culture is quite evident in his practice of self-introspection. He considered the social and cultural codes as instruments by means which self can be attained and this self is manifestation of Truth and Ahimsa.

A Persistent Myth
Authors: Stoffel Jean-François
Published: December 2022

According to the Copernican myth, geocentrism was a form of anthropocentrism because it showcased humankind as being both the centre and the purpose of the Cosmos, whereas heliocentrism, in dethroning humankind from this privileged position, luckily provided a means to quash this point of view, which was illusory and vain, and that even went against scientific progress. According to the anthropocentric myth, which is a part of it, geocentrism is a form of anthropocentrism, while heliocentrism is really an anti-anthropocentrism and not simply a non-anthropocentrism. This article, in the form of a dialogue, questions these two myths, looking in particular for the causes of their appearance, among which is a guilty anachronism.
Vicente Carducho y la Venerable Orden Tercera de San Francisco: devoción, gobierno y obras
Authors: Cueto Martínez-Pontrémuli José Luis
Published: December 2022

En el presente artículo abordamos la relación que unió a Vicente Carducho con la Venerable Orden Tercera de San Francisco de Madrid desde un punto de vista religioso, administrativo y artístico. Para ello, examinamos en profundidad la documentación de su archivo, que nos muestra a un pintor plenamente integrado en sus órganos de dirección y en la construcción y decoración de su primera capilla. En segundo lugar, partiendo de las menciones que hacen Palomino y Ceán sobre pinturas de Carducho en la capilla de los hermanos terceros, estudiamos las dos obras conservadas actualmente en la institución que pueden adscribirse a su catálogo: la Estigmatización de san Francisco y San Francisco sacando ánimas del purgatorio. Por último, ante la dificultad de datar estas pinturas sin firmar, proponemos su relación con el contexto de actividad de Carducho en la Orden Tercera, documentado en las décadas de 1620 y 1630, y destacamos su cercanía formal con otros ciclos de la producción tardía del artista, como las pinturas para la cartuja de El Paular (1626-1632).
escultor rococó José Fernández (1713-1783)
Authors: Baladrón Alonso Javier
Published: December 2022

Siempre se ha venido señalando que la escultura vallisoletana sufrió un periodo de acusada decadencia durante el siglo XVIII, afirmación matizable que sin duda se debe al escaso conocimiento y falta de investigación de la misma, dado que la escuela contó con maestros tan destacados como Pedro de Ávila (1678-1755), Pedro de Sierra (1702-1761) y Felipe de Espinabete (1719-1799). Hoy presentamos a un interesantísimo escultor, casi desconocido, que por sus méritos artísticos bien merece ocupar un puesto de honor en la escultura barroca vallisoletana. Estamos hablando de José Fernández (1713-1783).
obra del pintor Vicente Poleró a través de las fotografías de Laurent
Authors: Iborra Bernad Federico
Published: December 2022

Vicente Poleró y Toledo fue un pintor singular que dedicó prácticamente toda su trayectoria a las restauraciones y a la investigación sobre el arte. Muy pocas obras suyas se conservan, razón por la que adquiere especial valor un conjunto de cinco imágenes de sus lienzos incluidas dentro del catálogo de Jean Laurent antes de 1886. Todos ellos representan espacios interiores arquitectónicos, en los que se intenta recrear el edificio en su momento de esplendor. Estas composiciones, sin embargo, irán evolucionando desde la mera restitución ambiental a la recreación fantástica, llegando incluso a la ideación de espacios que nunca llegaron a construirse.

Published: December 2022

In all sectors of activity, knowledge is the most important strategic lever in the organizations’ management. The informational practices induced by Web technologies and data exploitation are accompanied by a paradigm that disrupts the process of sharing and communicating information in organization. Knowledge generated by human and social activities broadens the scope of knowledge management systems. New forms of technologies are changing system’s design approaches. It is on these evolving aspects of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) that we will highlight the different challenges faced by organizations. In reviewing the literature on ICTs, several researches work highlight the importance of digital revolutions in the development of IS in general, and in particular Knowledge Management (KM) systems. In order to understand the evolution of KM Systems, we carry out the postulate that different angles of view have a positive correlation with our research perimeter: We identify that collaborative practices and decision-making approach are positively related to Knowledge Management systems’ design. The conceptual model links our hypothesis with the concept of knowledge management systems. We develop a conceptual model according to a review of literature in information science. Research finding can be used for designing Knowledge Management systems. Several actors can benefit from the repercussions on a pragmatic level. System designers can identify modern developments to provide more pragmatic applications. Decision-makers can identify how to harness Knowledge Management systems and also identify good practices in terms of collaborative approaches and decision-making processes.

Published: December 2022

Se analizan los restos óseos de cauquén (Chloephaga sp.) recuperados en el sitio arqueológico a cielo abierto Laguna Las Vegas, cuenca media del río Coyle (Santa Cruz). Se evalúan los hallazgos a la luz de información arqueológica y tafonómica suprarregional, regional y local. La frecuencia de restos (NISP=23), junto con el patrón de partes esqueletarias con evidencias de consumo y las categorías etarias (cuatro individuos adultos y dos juveniles), sugieren que los cauquenes habrían sido obtenidos en proximidades del sitio durante la estación reproductiva y que se habrían transportado a este las partes de mayor rinde económico junto con las unidades anatómicas asociadas. Nuevos fechados radiocarbónicos realizados sobre un resto de cauquén y otro sobre guanaco (Lama guanicoe) sustentan la contemporaneidad aproximada en la depositación de los materiales arqueológicos en el sitio alrededor de 3200 años AP.

Do Stereotypes Ever Come? (through examples of the Macedonian Chlildren’s Literature)
Authors:   University “St. Cyril and Methodius” in Skopje, Mojsova Chepishevska Vesna
Published: December 2022

Tales / Stories can be both regressive and progressive, and conservative and emancipatory, some of them even radical, but they are not at all a naive reading and are not without consequences in terms of having a manifest social impact and an educational dimension. From the second half of the 20th century, and especially now at the beginning of the 21st century, serious shifts and changes have been observed in the understanding and interpretation of classic fairy tales / stories on the one hand and the creation of new “modern” fairy tales / stories on the other hand. Fairy tales reflect man’s longing for stability, peace, love, but also for personal and social realization. This paper deals with children’s books by two Macedonian authors (of recent production) and through their reading tries to reexamine the stereotypes about sex / gender roles, as well as about the orderliness of society and interpersonal relations. Emphasis is placed on Bistra Georgieva’s “The Story of Otto, Otto and Otto” with illustrations by Monica Carretero in which diversity to be embraced is represented not through human characters but through anthropomorphized birds and “The Superwitch, the Cat and the Six Magic Cookies” by Biljana S. Crvenkovska (a modern story about a modern witch). Both books try to stimulate a tolerant spirit in children (as well as adults) and promote diversity. But despite the fact that they openly promote the destruction of stereotypes, the question remains whether the refutation of specific (old) stereotypes does not give birth to some other (new) stereotypes?

Published: December 2022

Excessive usage of chemicals in crops, especially in leafy vegetables, caused people exposed to health and environmental risks. In Iran, spinach used as a winter vegetable that believed has high Iron and is useful for anemia. The objective of the experiment was to determine the optimum use of each macronutrients to obtain safe maximum growth and yield for scaling up among farmers. Treatments were chemical fertilizers including ammonium sulfate, triple superphosphate and potassium sulfate at 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg/h against control in a randomized complete block design. Results showed that nitrogen caused elevation of fresh and dry weight in spinach as the maximum obtained in 200 kg/h ammonium sulfate. Results obtained from effect of phosphorus showed that super phosphate increased fresh and dry weight of spinach; but potassium sulfate had no effect on its growth and yield. Analysis of variance on cross effect of data showed significant differences in fresh and dry weight, number of leaves, chlorophyll content and nitrate, and non-significant differences in length and wide of leaves.
Seed dormancy as an obstacle in front of plant production
Authors: Yildiz Mustafa
Published: December 2022

Dormancy is a state of lack of germination/sprouting in seed/tuber although required conditions (temperature, humidity, oxygen and light) are provided. Dormancy is based on hard seed coat dormancy or lack of supply and activity of enzymes (internal dormancy) necessary for germination/sprouting. Dormancy is an important factor limiting production in many field crops. Several physical and chemical pretreatments to production material (seed/tuber) are carried out for overcoming dormancy. Physical and physiological dormancy can be found together in some plants and this event makes it difficult to provide high frequency healthy seedling growth. Whereas, emerging of all production material (seed, tuber) sown/planted and forming healthy seedling are prerequisites of plant production.

Published: December 2022

The cambucizeiro (Campomanesia phaea), belonging to the Myrtaceae family, is a native plant of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. The description of the characteristics of the cambucizeiro fruits is important to support new genetic improvement works and its commercial exploitation, especially regarding the processing of the fruit. The present work aimed to perform the morphological and chemical characterization of the cambucizeiro fruits. Fifty-eight accessions, from different locations in the Atlantic Forest and Serra do Mar in the state of São Paulo, were collected, propagated by seeds and one specimen of each accessory is at the Seedling Production Center in São Bento do Sapucaí (SP). Forty fruits from each access were collected in May and submitted to the following analyses: longitudinal and transversal diameter, total fruit fresh mass, number and mass of seeds, total soluble solids, % citric acid, ratio, firmness, vitamin C and coloration. Fruit conformation varies intensely among accessions. The number of seeds is not a good indicator for the relation with the fruit mass, but the mass of one thousand seeds. Some accessions have high soluble solids content, but, on the other hand, the vast majority have fruits with high acidity. Cambuci is an excellent source of vitamin C. The fruits of the accessions are green in color, persisting an opaque shade when ripe.

Published: December 2022

The objective of this work was to evaluate the effect of potassium concentrations applied via fertigation on the growth, yield and chemical composition of eggplant ‘Ciça’ in a distroferric red Latosol. The treatments were composed of five concentrations of K2O (0, 36, 72, 108 and 144 kg ha-1 supplied via fertigation), using potassium chloride as a source, divided into six applications. The irrigation system was of the drip type and irrigation management was done via a “Class A” evaporometer tank. Harvest started at 62 days after transplanting (DAT) and lasted for five months. The variables evaluated were: plant height, number of leaves, fresh fruit mass, number of fruits per plant, yield per plant, productivity and classification of the fruits according to their length and diameter. At 85 DAT, fruit were collected for characterization as to the percentage of lipids, proteins and fibers. Although the potassium fertigation in cover provided a reduction in the production and productivity, the concentrations of 36 kg ha-1 and 72 kg ha-1 of K2O applied via fertigation, increased the physical-chemical characteristics of the fruits.

Published: December 2022

A problem in post-harvest of avocado (Persea americana Mill.) is the heterogeneity in fruit ripening, due to differences in the time of fruit set and the inability to ripen on the tree, a situation that causes inconsistencies in quality and differences in the response to preservation and processing technologies. In postharvest, the application of ethylene gas in hermetic chambers has been used to advance ripening; however, the use of ethylene releasers in liquid form (ethephon) has been proposed as an alternative, mainly for the treatment of low volumes of fruit. The present work was carried out in the production zone of Salvador Escalante (Michoacán, Mexico) with the objective of evaluating the effect of the application of two concentrations of ethephon on the time and homogenization of fruit ripening of avocado cultivars (cv.) Hass and Méndez. Fruits with 23.4% (cv. Hass) and 24% (cv. Méndez) of dry matter were harvested; one group was immersed in a solution of ethephon 500 mg/L and the other in 1,000 mg/L, both for 5 minutes; the treated fruits plus a control were stored at 20 °C for 11 days. Changes in respiration, ethylene production, weight loss, firmness, epicarp and pulp color, total phenol, chlorophyll and total carotenoid concentrations were evaluated. The results showed that ethephon doses of 1,000 mg/L in cv. Hass and 500 mg/L in cv. Méndez presented a ripening process 2 days earlier than the control.

Published: December 2022

Broccoli has been consumed around the world in various ways; either raw, blanched, frozen, dehydrated or fermented; however, functional foods and nutraceuticals are currently being designed and marketed from broccoli, through the extraction of compounds such as sulforaphane, which according to several studies and depending on its bioavailability has a protective effect on some types of cancer. Likewise, several food technologies are reported to seek to offer innovative foods to increasingly careful and critical consumers, ensuring that they retain their nutritional and sensory attributes even after processing and that they are also safe. In this sense, studies on the effect of processing on compounds of interest to health are of great relevance. Therefore, this article presents an overview on the study of traditionally consumed broccoli and the design of new products from the use of agro-industrial residues that, due to their high content of ﬁber and ﬁtochemical compounds, can beneﬁt the quality of life of the human population.

There are several factors that generate postharvest losses of Citrus sinensis, but none have been focused on the central jungle of the Junín region of Peru. The objective of this research was to evaluate postharvest losses of Citrus sinensis in the province of Satipo, Junín region of Peru, considering the stages of the production chain. The methodology was applied to descriptive and cross-sectional design. A sample of 10 orange trees, 3 transport intermediaries and 5 traders selected for compliance with minimum volume and quality requirements were used. The °Brix, pH and acidity characteristics of the fruit were determined. Subsequently, absolute and percentage losses were quantified through direct observation, surveys and interviews. The main postharvest losses of Citrus sinensis were 1.50% in harvesting and detaching, 1.75% in transport to the collection center, 2.23% in storage and transport by intermediaries, and 2.90% in storage and sale by retailers. The overall loss was 8.12% throughout the production chain and US$5.75 per MT of C. sinensis harvested. The main damages found were mechanical and biological, caused by poor harvesting and packaging techniques, precarious storage and careless transport of the merchandise.

The effects of different storage temperatures (2, 4 and 8 ℃) and their corresponding optimal heat treatment conditions on the quality, physiological and biochemical indexes of Cucumber Fruits during storage were studied by using the quadratic regression orthogonal rotation combination design. The effects of different storage temperatures (2, 4 and 8 ℃) and their corresponding optimal heat treatment conditions on the chilling injury, hardness, weightlessness rate, polyphenol oxidase (PPO), catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), H2O2, super oxygen anion free radical (O2-), ASA and GSH were determined. The results showed that heat treatment could inhibit chilling injury, while heat treatment combined with 4 ℃ low temperature storage could effectively inhibit the decline of fruit hardness and weight loss rate, delay the increase of peroxidase (POD) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activities, inhibit the increase of H2O2 and superoxide anion free radical O2- and significantly inhibit the browning of cucumber, delay the decline of ascorbic acid and maintain the content of GSH, it was beneficial to adjust the balance of active oxygen system. The results showed that under the storage condition of 4 ℃, the hot water treatment condition of cucumber was 39.4 ℃ and 24.3 min, which could delay the senescence of cucumber fruit and better maintain the quality of cucumber fruit.

With the purpose of knowing the phytosocilogy of weeds associated to a carrot crop (Daucus carota L.) under conditions of the municipalities of Ventaquemada and Jenesano-Boyacá, one lot per municipality destined to carrot cultivation was selected and a W-shaped layout was made covering an area of 500 m2. Relative density, relative frequency, relative dominance and the importance value index (IVI) were calculated, as well as the Alpha and Beta diversity indices for the sampled areas. A total of 6 families and 11 species were counted, of which 63.64% were represented by annual plants and 36.36% by perennial plants. The class Liliopsida (Monocotyledon) was represented by the Poaceae family. The Magnoliopsida class (Dicotyledon) was represented by the following families: Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Boraginaceae, Leguminosaceae, Polygonaceae, the last one being the one with the highest number of species. The species R. crispus and P. nepalense were the ones with the highest values of Importance Value Index (IVI) with 0.953 and 0.959, respectively. According to the Shannon-Wiener diversity and Simpson’s dominance indices, the evaluated areas presented a low species diversity and a high probability of dominant species. The results obtained can serve as a basis and tool for carrot growers in the evaluated areas to define management plans for the associated weeds and thus optimize yields in this crop.

Introduction: The selection of genotypes with determinate growth habit in tomato should contemplate adequate selection criteria to increase the efficiency of the breeding program. Objective: The objective of this work was to estimate selection criteria for “chonto” type tomato lines with determined growth habit. Materials and methods: This work was carried out at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia (Palmira Campus), in 2016, with seven lines with determinate growth habit and a control with indeterminate growth. Heritability in a broad sense (h2 g), coefficient of environmental variation, coefficient of genetic variation, selection efficiency and genetic gain were determined in parameters of morphological, phonological, fruit quality, fruit shape and production, using the RELM/BLUP procedure of the SELEGEN software. Results: There were three ranges of h2 g, the first with values of h2 g greater than 0.76, the second between 0.53 and 0.38, and the third with a value less than 0.38. The highest values of h2 g were for final plant height with 0.92, plant height at harvest with 0.88, yield per plant with 0.83, days to flowering with 0.83, number of fruits per plant with 0.82, and days to harvest with 0.82. For genetic gain it was found that the control had the highest values for final plant height, plant height at harvest, internode length, days to harvest, harvest duration, soluble solids content, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight and yield per plant; however, in some parameters such as height and phenology for selection by determined growth habit, the lowest values were better. Conclusion: There was evidence of genetic parameters that could be considered as selection criteria for “chonto” type tomato lines with determinate growth habit.

The objective of this study was to develop a model based on fuzzy rules to evaluate the effects caused by varying the dosages of two soil fertilizers (mineral and organic) on root diameter. Fuzzy logic is a method that presents a language, more appropriate to day-to-day life, as the sky is a bit cloudy. For the input variables of this system the mineral and an organic fertilizer were used, for the output the root diameter, in cm. After optimization of the input rules, it can be seen that for the application of the fertilizers (mineral and organic) the best dosages were from 15 to 60 and 20 to 60 g·m-2, respectively. With this application of fuzzy rules in real data, it is possible to take these benefits to those involved in the production chain of radish, resulting in a reduction in the dosages of products and improving its final profitability.

The objective of the work was to evaluate and compare the physicochemical characteristics of an experimental cabotiá hybrid with the commercial hybrid Tetsukabuto. The genotypes were divided according to mass (kg), and were evaluated for quality. The color parameters evaluated showed no significant difference, although visually the hybrid was different from the commercial variety. It was possible to conclude that the size of the fruits does not influence the concentration of the compounds, and also, an inferiority of HC05 was observed with respect to the relevant quality characteristics in pumpkins, such as soluble solids content, carotenoids and vitamin C.

Authors: López-Bouzas Nerea , Del Moral Pérez M. Esther
Published: December 2022

La competencia comunicativa se define a partir de las habilidades lingüísticas y socio-emocionales. Concretamente, existen escalas para diagnosticar el nivel de competencia comunicativa de las personas con TEA, pero no contemplan ambas dimensiones. Además, suelen recabar información de fuentes secundarias (familias y docentes), obviando la observación directa del alumnado, lo que ocasiona un sesgo en la evaluación competencial. Así, el presente estudio se centra en el diseño y validación del instrumento DiagnosticApp que permite diagnosticar de forma contextual la competencia comunicativa de este alumnado. Utiliza como soporte dos aplicaciones digitales -gratuitas, intuitivas y de acceso libre- que posibilitan una evaluación contextual, dinámica y flexible, ofreciendo la posibilidad de seleccionar o crear actividades personalizadas. El instrumento consta de 12 indicadores perfilados en 48 ítems -inferidos, entre otros, del DSM-5™- y agrupados en dos dimensiones de análisis: a) habilidades lingüísticas; y, b) socio-emocionales. Su validación se realizó con el método Delphi, recabando las opiniones de una muestra de expertos de diversos campos, contribuyendo a perfilar y robustecer el instrumento desde una visión poliédrica. Los resultados confirman la pertinencia, relevancia y claridad de los indicadores asociados a ambas dimensiones para la medición del nivel de competencia comunicativa en personas con TEA. Se concluye que DiagnosticApp es plenamente válido y adaptable a otros contextos por parte del profesorado, favoreciendo un diagnóstico contextual a partir de actividades en un entorno digital amigable y motivador en el marco de una educación inclusiva y de calidad.
