Published: May 2015

<p>A lo largo de los años enfermería ha buscado la consolidación de un lenguaje estandarizado que identifique la disciplina en todos los escenarios prácticos, propuesto por la North American Nursing Diagnosis Association (NANDA), fundada en 1982 y convertida en el año 2002 en un organismo internacional, adoptando el nombre de NANDA International (NANDA-I), año que también establecieron la Taxonomía II, usando un lenguaje que cumple los criterios establecidos por el Committee for Nursing Practice Information Infrastructure (CNPII) de la American Nurses Association (ANA).</p><p>El desarrollo de los diagnósticos de enfermería y las actualizaciones han sido elaboradas a partir de investigaciones en diferentes contextos de la práctica, las propuestas de nuevos diagnósticos y la revisión de los existentes son sometidas ante el Comité de Desarrollo del Diagnóstico (DDC), a un examen sistemático que determina su coherencia con los criterios establecidos para los diagnósticos enfermeros y de acuerdo al nivel de evidencia que respalda su grado de desarrollo o su validación, una vez sea aprobado por el DDC es direccionado a los miembros de NANDA-I y finalmente, presentado a la Junta Directiva de NANDA-I para su aprobación final. Los diagnósticos aceptados son incorporados y publicados en la siguiente edición de los <em>Diagnósticos enfermeros: Definiciones y clasificación</em> de NANDA-I (1). La reciente edición 2015-2017, contempla 13 dominios, 47 clases y 235 diagnósticos enfermeros, de los cuales 13 fueron revisados y 25 incluidos, el libro de la NANDA-I refiere en algunos de sus capítulos los delineamientos para la construcción y/o validación de un diagnóstico de enfermería (DE), los tipos de estudios más utilizados y las directrices para la presentación de un diagnóstico ante la NANDA-I. A continuación se pretende describir de forma general, los métodos de investigación más utilizados para desarrollar y/o validar un diagnóstico, el propósito es estimular a los investigadores a recorrer este camino.</p><p><strong><em>Cómo citar este artículo:</em></strong><em> Rodríguez-Acelas A</em><em>,</em> <em>Cañón-Montañez W.

EFFECT OF SWALLOWED BOLUS VISCOSITY AND BODY POSITION ON ESOPHAGEAL TRANSIT, CONTRACTION AND PERCEPTION OF TRANSIT
Authors: DALMAZO Juciléia , APRILE Lilian Rose Otoboni , DANTAS Roberto Oliveira 
Published: May 2015

Background The esophagus has a different response in relation to the characteristics of a swallowed bolus. Bolus viscosity and body position may affect esophageal contraction and transit. Objectives To investigate the effect of bolus viscosity and body position on esophageal contraction, transit and perception. Methods Esophageal contraction, transit and perception of transit were evaluated in 26 asymptomatic volunteers, 13 men and 13 women aged 18-60 years, mean: 33.6 (12.2) years. Esophageal contraction (manometry) and transit (impedance) were measured with a solid state catheter with sensors located 5, 10, 15, and 20 cm from the lower esophageal sphincter. Each volunteer swallowed in duplicate and in random sequence a 5 mL low viscous (LV) liquid bolus of an isotonic drink with pH 3.3, and a 5 mL high viscous (HV) paste bolus, which was prepared with 7.5 g of instant food thickener diluted in 50 mL of water (pH: 6.4). Results Total bolus transit time, in the sitting position, was longer with the HV bolus than with the LV bolus. Esophageal transit was longer in the supine position than in the sitting position. Bolus head advance time was longer with the HV bolus than with the LV bolus in both positions. Contraction esophageal amplitude was higher in the supine position than in the sitting position. The perception of bolus transit was more frequent with the HV bolus than with the LV bolus, without differences related to position. Conclusions The viscosity of the swallowed bolus and body position during swallows has an influence on esophageal contractions, transit and perception of transit.
Adaptive Control ofPhalaris arundinaceain Curtis Prairie
Authors: Healy Michael T. , Rojas Isabel M. , Zedler Joy B. 
Published: May 2015

AbstractCurtis Prairie is an 80-yr-old restored prairie that, despite its diverse vegetation and dense cover, was invaded byPhalaris arundinacea(reed canarygrass) during the 1980s. Our search for a method to eradicatePhalarisinvolved field tests of a grass-specific herbicide (sethoxydim as Vantage®). To reducePhalarisgrowth and favor native vegetation, we used an adaptive approach that began in 2005 by testing sethoxydim application with and without adding a seed mix of 32 native plants. Sethoxydim reduced flowering but not cover ofPhalaris; we therefore reapplied sethoxydim to all the 2005 plots in 2006 and again in 2007. We began a second experiment in 2006 that combined late-May burning followed by late-June sethoxydim application. This combination reducedPhalariscover the most of all treatments. In a third experiment in 2007 we repeated the late-May burn + late-June sethoxydim treatment but did not find a reduction inPhalariscover. We attribute differences in burning + herbicide effects to year effects. Because thePhalariscanopy remained dense even where we applied sethoxydim for 3 yr (first experiment, 2005), we were not surprised that our 2005 seeding of 32 native forbs and graminoids (but not grasses) barely increased native species presence. Six years after seeding, however, we found 12 of the seeded species along with 21 unseeded natives. The adaptive approach of designing new experiments based on prior results led to a promising approach in 2006 (burning before applying sethoxydim to the resproutingPhalaris). Repeating that combination in 2007 indicated a year effect and that no single approach would eradicate this clonal grass.

SOCIAL INNOVATION IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION
Authors: Ahrens Andreas , Zaščerinska Jeļena 
Published: May 2015

<p>Traditionally, engineering students are provided with new knowledge by educatorstudent interaction based on educator’s academic (social) knowledge or student-student interaction based on their practical (individual) knowledge. That is why engineering students lack the inter-connection between the academic and practical knowledge. However, engineering education should lead to the transformation of students’ knowledge from external (social) to internal (individual) perspective. Social innovation that has become the dominant response to challenges in all the domains of modern life includes peer-learning as the subphase to create socially shared knowledge in the transformation of students’ knowledge from external to internal perspective and Enterprise 3.0 as a component of social media integrated into the teaching and learning process. This allows the novel transformation of students’ knowledge from external to internal perspective, as introduced in this contribution, that proceeds from teaching through peer-learning to learning to be integrated in the environments of engineering education.</p>
SUPPORT OF A HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTION FOR THE NEW TEACHERS
Authors: Baltusite Regina 
Published: May 2015

<p>The article deals with the problem of the support of a higher education institution for the new teachers. The professional development is a complex and time-consuming processof a personality’s self-perfection, self-development and self-training. The process of professional development begins with the obtaining of a diploma. The success in the professional activities and the progress in making a career depend on a person him/herself in various aspects. However, irrespective of the fact that a beginning teacher has the experience of practice, when starting professional activities in the respective working environment, he/she faces situations that demand immediate solution of a problem, but there is not always a person beside a beginning teacher, who could provide support regarding dealing with a particular situation and making a decision. The support, provided by a higher education institution, when a new teacher starts working, is very important. A beginning teacher can use the contacts established at the higher education institution and apply to the university lecturers for assistance.</p>
