Este estudio analiza la influencia de las estrategias de comunicación en la inclusión de estudiantes con necesidades educativas específicas, centrándose en aquellos con discapacidad visual, en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Comunicación Social de la Universidad de Guayaquil. El propósito es identificar las barreras comunicacionales y las prácticas efectivas que favorecen entornos de aprendizaje equitativos en el aula. Se aplicó un enfoque cualitativo, mediante entrevistas semiestructuradas a estudiantes con discapacidad visual y a diez docentes que han participado en experiencias inclusivas. Los datos fueron procesados a través de un análisis temático, identificando patrones relacionados con la comunicación, la accesibilidad y la interacción pedagógica. Los hallazgos muestran que las estrategias de comunicación inclusivas como el uso de recursos tecnológicos, materiales adaptados, lenguaje inclusivo y la empatía de la relación con docente y el estudiante contribuyen al fortalecimiento de la participación y el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes con discapacidad visual. No obstante, se evidencian limitaciones asociadas a la escasa capacitación docente en este ámbito, la falta de lineamientos institucionales claros y la insuficiente integración de criterios de accesibilidad en los programas académicos. El estudio confirma que las estrategias comunicacionales desempeñan un papel central en la inclusión en la educación superior. Se recomienda mejorar la implementación de políticas institucionales, y el uso sistemático de tecnologías adaptativas. Más allá de la accesibilidad, los resultados resaltan la importancia de construir una cultura universitaria justa, participativa y sensible.
Bilingual teaching resources are insufficient in applied universities across the Southwest China. This study constructs a Structural Equation Model (SEM) based on four latent variables: student factors, teacher factors, external factors, and teaching effects. Data were collected through a questionnaire administered to 550 undergraduates majoring in specific disciplines of architecture and civil engineering at applied universities in Southwest China. Quantitative analysis yielded the following key findings: (1) external factors have a direct and positive influence on both teacher and student variables, with teaching resources exerting the strongest effect among external factors; (2) teacher factors positively affect student factors, with teachers’ attitudes playing the most critical role; and (3) both teacher and student factors significantly impact bilingual teaching effectiveness, with student quality being the most influential component among student-related variables. By integrating external, teacher, and student dimensions, the study proposes targeted strategies to improve bilingual education outcomes. The study provides new insights into the key determinants of bilingual teaching effectiveness and fills a research gap by applying SEM to quantitatively analyze bilingual education in the context of applied universities. It also offers valuable implications for educational administrators and government policymakers seeking to enhance the quality of bilingual education in Southwest China.
Este artículo presenta una interpretación del pensamiento pedagógico del siglo XX en España atendiendo a las perspectivas vitalista y sintética. Se propone una explicación de los cambios en el conocimiento teórico de la educación que han llevado a la situación actual. La investigación se ha realizado a través del estudio de algunos exponentes de la Pedagogía general en España: Ramón Ruiz Amado, Rufino Blanco, Juan Zaragüeta, Juan Roura-Parella, Víctor García Hoz, Juan Tusquets y Alejandro Sanvisens. Se exponen y discuten sus concepciones, propuestas e influencias y se presenta su lugar en la historia de la pedagogía española, perfilando dos grandes tendencias: vitalista y sintética. Se ofrecen como resultado una serie de convergencias entre las dos corrientes de Pedagogía general que conforman una línea de continuidad histórica. A la vez, este estudio muestra cómo se ha interrumpido la tradición en este ámbito disciplinar, e identifica divergencias importantes entre la Pedagogía general y algunas derivas postmodernas de la Teoría de la educación.

To investigate the association of long-term exposure to air pollution with incident arrhythmia from various causes, this prospective cohort study included 442,386 participants from the UK Biobank cohort. Residential annual average exposures at baseline were evaluated, including fine particles (PM2.5), coarse particles (PM2.5–10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and nitrogen oxides (NOx). We further constructed a composite air pollution score (APS) to evaluate the concomitant exposure to these four pollutants. The associations of air pollutants with various arrhythmia subtypes were assessed utilizing the Cox proportional hazards model, and the hazard ratios (HRs) for incident arrhythmias were estimated. A total of 41,021 patients with incident arrhythmia were recorded. The HRs of overall arrhythmia associated with a 10 μg/m3 increment in PM2.5, PM2.5–10, NO2, and NOx were 1.26, 0.95, 1.03, and 1.02, respectively. The HR was 1.08 in the highest quintile of the APS compared to the lowest one. For cause-specific arrhythmias, the HRs per unit increment in APS were 1.45, 1.67, 1.51, 1.80, 2.63, and 4.66 for atrial fibrillation, atrioventricular block, ventricular fibrillation/tachycardia, intraventricular block, supraventricular tachycardia, and ventricular premature beats, respectively. Females, older individuals, overweight or obese individuals, and those with low education attainment, low income, or cardiometabolic morbidities had higher HRs associated with pollutants. Long-term exposure to air pollution is linked to increased incidence risks of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. More focus should be shifted to the impact of air pollution on other arrhythmias besides atrial fibrillation.
This study was conducted in the warehouse of the Department of Biology / College of Education for Pure Sciences for the 2023-2024 season to study the effect of adding levels of hydrogel (0, 2, 4) gm/kg of soil and residues of the vegetative part of soybeans at levels (0, 4, 8) gm/kg soil in the mineral content of yellow corn plants soaked with concentrations of (0,100, 200 ppm) of ascorbic acid.
The results were analyzed using a completely randomized design and a factorial experiment with three replications. The results confirmed the existence of a discrepancy in the effect of soybean residues on mineral elements, as they ranged between inhibition and stimulation, as the residues had a stimulating effect on the calcium and nitrogen elements, While its effect was inhibitory to the element sodium and magnesium, and the addition of hydrogel showed a stimulating effect in all the nutritional elements mentioned above. On the other hand, there was a significant superiority in the content of the elements with an increase in the concentration of ascorbic acid compared to the control treatment without addition. The interactions showed a stimulating effect, especially the interaction of hydrogel levels with ascorbic acid concentrations in the studied characteristics
Cet article examine la réutilisation des coquillages fossiles et décrit en même temps les anomalies ou les déformations observées sur les individus. La démarche adoptée repose en effet sur une combinaison de plusieurs activités allant de la recherche documentaire à l’examen du mobilier coquillier, en passant par les enquêtes ethnographiques, la prospection et les fouilles archéologiques. Nos fouilles effectuées sur le site de Balloum, près du village de Moundé (basSaloum) ont mis au jour des spécimens coquilliers déformés ou réutilisés le plus souvent en des objets de parures ou d’ustensiles.

Carbon capture and storage due to photosynthesis activities has been proposed as a carbon sink to mitigate climate change. To enhance such mitigation, previous studies have shown that freshwater lakes should be included in the carbon sink, since they may capture as much carbon as coastal areas. In eutrophic freshwater lakes, there is uncertainty about whether the equilibrium equation can estimate the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), owing to the presence of photosynthesis due to phytoplankton, and pH measurement error in freshwater fluid. Thus, this study investigated the applicability of the equilibrium equation and revealed the need to modify it. The modified equilibrium equation was successfully applied to reproduce pCO2 based on total alkalinity and pH through field observations. In addition, pCO2 at the water surface was lower than the atmospheric partial pressure of carbon dioxide due to photosynthesis by phytoplankton during strong stratification. The stratification effect on low pCO2 was verified by using the Net Ecosystem Production (NEP) model, and a submerged freshwater plants such as Potamogeton malaianus were found to have high potential for dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) sequestration in a freshwater lake. These results should provide a starting point toward more sophisticated methods to investigate the effect of freshwater carbon on DIC uptake in freshwater stratified eutrophic lakes.
En un contexto actual de creciente polarización y politización en torno a las cuestiones migratorias, se analizan cinco propuestas de cómics y narrativas gráficas que contribuyen a visibilizar voces y espacios olvidados de la migración latinoamericana hacia Estados Unidos. Se hace hincapié en el rol de la hibridez genérica al otorgar y reforzar la legitimidad del relato de historias personales y colectivas mediante la inserción de la autobiografía, el testimonio, el reportaje, el western o la ciencia ficción, entre otros. El corpus elegido: Migrar (Mateo y Martínez, 2011), Cita en Phoenix (Sandoval, 2016), La cicatriz. En la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos (Ferraris y Chiocca, 2019), Barrera (Vaughan, Martín y Vicente, 2019) y Ana (Arriaga y Ramos, 2021), da cuenta de las múltiples posibilidades que ofrecen estas narrativas gráficas que dejan de ser divertimento para participar activamente en la configuración de un discurso socialmente comprometido.

While the Community of Inquiry centres on a form of discussion that is meant to improve the ability of students to think, only a fraction of the thinking that occurs in a discussion makes its appearance in speech. We therefore need to consider students’ mental acts in addition to their speech acts to understand how the Community of Inquiry is meant to function. This paper explores the connections between speech acts and mental acts in the Community of Inquiry and the broader classifications of these acts of thought. It also considers the role of teacherly interventions in promoting appropriate acts of thought and the ways in which teachers can improve students’ metacognitive awareness of them.
Trata-se de resultado de pesquisa sobre a formação e as práticas de diretoras dos grupos escolares no Maranhão. Analisamos as memórias sobre a formação de diretoras dos grupos. Uma das questões investigadas foi de que modo as professoras se constituem diretoras? Desse modo, estudamos sua formação e trajetória profissional docente. O conceito de memória norteia os pressupostos teóricos da investigação uma vez que se trabalha com a perspectiva metodológica da História Oral. A memória também apresenta suas limitações, é uma reconstrução continuamente atualizada do passado. Realizamos entrevistas com diretoras que atuaram nos Grupos Escolares da capital e do interior maranhense. O estudo mostra a importância de conhecermos suas experiências, saberes e práticas.

Altered expression of protein coding gene (PCG) and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) have been identified in SARS-CoV-2 infected cells and tissues from COVID-19 patients. The functional role and mechanism (s) of transcriptional regulation of deregulated genes in COVID-19 remain largely unknown. In the present communication, reanalyzing publicly available gene expression data, we observed that 66 lncRNA and 5491 PCG were deregulated in more than one experimental condition. Combining our earlier published results and using different publicly available resources, it was observed that 72 deregulated lncRNA interacted with 3228 genes/proteins. Many targets of deregulated lncRNA could also interact with SARS-CoV-2 coded proteins, modulated by IFN treatment and identified in CRISPR screening to modulate SARS-CoV-2 infection. The majority of the deregulated lncRNA and PCG were targets of at least one of the transcription factors (TFs), interferon responsive factors (IRFs), signal transducer, and activator of transcription (STATs), NFκB, MYC, and RELA/p65. Deregulated 1069 PCG was joint targets of lncRNA and TF. These joint targets are significantly enriched with pathways relevant for SARS-CoV-2 infection indicating that joint regulation of PCG could be one of the mechanisms for deregulation. Over all this manuscript showed possible involvement of lncRNA and mechanisms of deregulation of PCG in the pathogenesis of COVID-19.
The purpose of this study was to provide more insight into the skills and support systems needed to encourage scholarship among student affairs practitioners. We used topical life history to examine the scholarly lives of eight student affairs practitioners. To guide that examination, we leveraged the questions posed by Jablonski et al. (2006) as our research questions: “What skills and knowledge [did] practitioners need to develop a scholarship agenda?" and "What support, coaching, and job modifications create[d] environments for practitioners to be successful” (p. 197). Participant life histories revealed a variety of direct and indirect influences, such as institutional context, mentorship, personal characteristics, and significant others on the participants' work as student affairs practitioners. The findings highlighted the following as major influences on the professionals’ decision to engage and sustain scholarship: community, intrinsic motivation, and cultural change. What these findings also suggest is practitioners are willing and desirous to make an impact on the broader field through scholarly engagement; they just need support and compelling reasons to do so.

Abstract A mounting body of the literature suggests that environmental chemicals found in food and water could affect female reproduction. Many worldwide daily-used products have been shown to contain chemicals that could incur adverse reproductive outcomes in the perinatal/neonatal periods, childhood, adolescence, and even adulthood. The potential impact of Bisphenol A (BPA), Phthalates and Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on female reproduction, in particular on puberty, PCOS pathogenesis, infertility, ovarian function, endometriosis, and recurrent pregnancy loss, in both humans and animals, will be discussed in this report in order to provide greater clinician and public awareness about the potential consequences of these chemicals. The effects of these substances could interfere with hormone biosynthesis/action and could potentially be transmitted to further generations. Thus proper education about these chemicals can help individuals decide to limit exposure, ultimately alleviating the risk on future generations.
Esta investigación pretende determinar qué tipo de emociones despierta en los niños la escucha de determinados géneros musicales. Participaron 74 estudiantes de la Escuela Municipal de Música y Danza de la ciudad autónoma de Melilla (España) con edades de 4-8 años. Se midieron cuatro tipos de respuesta emocional en los estudiantes: Alegría, Tristeza, Miedo y Enfado. Para ello, se ofrecieron 12 melodías que podían pertenecer a uno de los tres estilos musicales siguientes: Música Clásica, Música Popular y Música Folklórica. Para la selección de las piezas musicales se contó con un juicio de expertos y se dotó al instrumento de recogida de información de fiabilidad y validez. Los resultados pusieron de manifiesto una clara identificación de la respuesta emocional de Alegría así como un criterio de valoración de las piezas musicales escuchadas en función del criterio “me gusta” o “no me gusta”.

This article reports on regularities observed in learners' preconceptions of reflective symmetry. Literature suggests that the very existence of such regularities indicates a gap between what learners know and what they need to know. Such a gap inhibits further understanding and application, and hence needed to be investigated. A total of 235 Grade 11 learners, from 13 high schools that participate in the First Rand Foundation-funded Mathematics Education project in the Eastern Cape, responded to a task on reflective symmetry. Our framework for analysing the responses was based on the taxonomy of structure of the observed learning outcome. The results indicated that 85% of learner responses reflect a motion understanding of reflections, where learners considered geometric figures as physical motions on top of the plane. While this understanding is useful in some cases, it is not an essential aspect of mapping understanding, which is critical for application in function notations and other analytical geometry contexts. We suggest that if this gap is to be closed, learners need to construct these reflections physically so that they may think of reflections beyond motion.

El texto inicia con una serie de anotaciones en torno a las circunstancias institucionales en que surge la necesidad de la transparencia en la Universidad Veracruzana, haciendo hincapié en que la Universidad ha permanecido por años en completa secrecía alrededor de muchos de sus procesos. Posteriormente los autores presentan cuatro razones por la transparencia en la Universidad, mismos que identifican como elementos para exponer los motivos de la reforma universitaria en este ámbito y como objetivos esperados que puedan ser evaluados en el futuro. Dichas razones son: la actualización del marco normativo, la construcción de una nueva manera de ser universitario, la relación entre transparencia, autonomía y rendición de cuentas a la sociedad, así como la contribución de la Universidad a la formación de ciudadanos.
Abstract
The text initiates with a series of annotations around the institutional circumstances in that the necessity arises from the transparency in the Veracruzana University, insisting on which the University has remained per years in complete secret around many of its processes. Later the authors present four reasons by the transparency in the University, which they identify like elements to expose the reasons for the university reform in this scope and like objectives that can be evaluated in the future. These reasons are: the update of the normativity, the construction of a new way to be a university member, the relationship between transparency, autonomy and accountability, as well as the contribution from the University to the formation of citizens.
