Authors: Vega Chávez Jesús , Gutiérrez Enríquez Sandra Olimpia 
Published: April 2023

Objective: to describe the satisfaction of service users with the timely detection of cervical cancer through the analysis of indicators and socio-demographic characteristics.
Methodology: descriptive study. 101 women participate; they have PAP test in July 2007 in 13 urban health centers from San Luis Potosi Health Department Jurisdiction 1. Socio-demographic characteristics and use of service indicators are measured, including also satisfaction level.
Results: the average age is 36 years old. Maximum level of education is ninth grade (42.6%) and 54.5% of the participants have Popular Insurance; 80.2% are married; the women that more attend for the first time are the youngest (18-31 years), and the married ones; and the ones that attend less are those between 51 and 61 years old. Those that are more willing for the first time are the married ones; and the ones with less attendance are the divorced, separated and widows. General knowledge about PAP test and uterine cervix cancer is adequate in 51.5% and 76.2%, respectively, whereas the accessibility is adequate in 67.3%. Satisfaction level was high on waiting time (66.3%); with complete, truthful, opportune, and understandable information (78.2%), as well as an appropriate treatment from health personal (87.1%) and accessibility (80.2%).
Conclusions: the users are satisfied with the service. In this article we find that Papanicolaou test is not associated with women satisfaction. Age and marital status are associated to the appointment for the PAP.

Authors: Fernández Sola Cayetano 
Published: April 2023

Present day societies are characterized by the globalization of their economies and, the fostering of a “knowledge-based society”. Higher education plays a part in these phenomena, and, in Europe, is undergoing an important reform seeking to homogenize the system of university degrees. These attempts come togetherin the European Space of Higher Education which will mean a new paradigm centred on “learning” and upheld by a system of common credits, teaching staffplanning, innovations in methodology, the professional competences and the handling of information in the constantly changing knowledge in today’s world.In this framework staff planning, and the production of Teaching Guides is of the utmost importance. The aim of which being an awareness on the part of the student of the benefits to be had when taking each course, what activities should be carried out, guidance on chronology, on assessment. Regarding the subject under discussion, we have evolved some reflections on the lines of each of these topics, putting forward a model illustrated with examples on how to make planning and teaching guides useful instruments for the student. We conclude stressing the importance of a teaching plan for convergence and noting that despite the difficulties, changes are possible.

Methodology. Death causes were classified according to the inventory of Avoidable mortality Causes. For life expectancy calculations and its decomposition, rates were standardized according to DANE’s 2005 Colombian population. Arriaga’s method was followed in life expectancy decomposition.
Results. In the Valle de Aburra not including Medellin, life expectancy at birth for the years 1979-2004 was of 73.23 years. 15.30 years of life expectancy were lost for the period between 1979 and 1995, loss being of 12.58 years for the period between 1996 and 2004. It was stressed that preventable death causes related with vaccination in women (0.0105 years) were important for their negative contribution to the gained life expectancy years.
Conclusion. Avoidable mortality structure from the Valle de Aburra without Medellin was mainly affected by the vaccination group constituent diseases or preventive treatment. It is necessary to prioritize public health interventions in the diseases with a greater contribution to the to the vaccination groups or preventive treatment to avoid a significantly negative change in the mortality profiles in the municipalities and know how they affect mortality structure by causes and how they define specific mortality profiles.

Noite na Taverna: cópia com variações
Authors: Inácio Francilda Araújo 
Published: April 2023

<p>Este estudo aborda questões relativas à Noite na taverna, obra em que Álvares de Azevedo, num procedimento intertextual, pouco comum, realiza um diálogo com produções e autores consagrados da tradição, assumindo o simulacro, nos termos definidos por Gilles Deleuze como uma reversão, uma ruptura direcionada à criação. Seguindo um movimento de recusa da representação, o simulacro se opõe à tendência de a cópia voltar ao passado originário, para reproduzi-lo sem diferença e, portanto, sem crítica, não se tratando de uma reprodução pura e simples, mas da produção de algo diferente. No caso específico de Noite na taverna, que evidencia de forma clara sua filiação a fontes literárias, temos um movimento de choque com a tão propalada originalidade romântica, que empreende ainda um percurso em direção ao descentramento do discurso literário convencional e do sujeito–criador - como instância única e privilegiada da criação.</p>

Published: April 2023

Background: With extensive adoption of mechanised harvest in paddy, the population of blackgram in the rice-blackgram relay cropping system is drastically affected due to the chain traverse by combine harvester. This has emerged as another major abiotic stress in addition to moisture stress at flowering stage of the crop, which resulted in poor yield. Methods: The studies were conducted during post rainy seasons of 2015-16 to 2017-18. with six treatments viz., T1 - Sowing blackgram by broadcasting 7-10 days prior to manual harvest of paddy, T2 - Sowing blackgram by no till seed drill on the day of harvest of paddy, T3 - Sowing blackgram by broadcasting 4-6 days prior to harvest of paddy by combine harvester, T4 - T1 + Life saving irrigation with mobile sprinkler once at 30-35 DAS, T5 -T2 + Life saving irrigation with mobile sprinkler once at 30-35 DAS, T6 -T3 + Life saving irrigation with mobile sprinkler once at 30-35 DAS. Result: The results indicated that higher grain yield of 875 kg ha-1 was obtained with blackgram sown 7-10 days prior to manual harvest of paddy plus life saving irrigation on 30-35 DAS with mobile sprinkler using farm pond water, which was 31.6% higher than that of blackgram sowing with no till seed drill. The study also indicated that farm pond dug at an area of 100 m3 would be sufficient to irrigate 1 ha of blackgram through mobile sprinkler once at flowering stage (30-35 DAS by which the net return could be increased by ₹ 61416 ha-1.
