There is an increasing awareness about body image disturbance and eating disorders which calls for a multidisciplinary approach. The usefulness of new technologies for improving body image distortion has been addressed in the scientific literature, but has not included current strategies such as Metaverse-related technologies. Seemingly, this is the first systematic review which focuses on the efficacy of Metaverse-related technologies in reducing body image disturbance related to eating disorders like Anorexia nervosa and Bulimia nervosa. The main objective of this study was to review the scientific studies published in the last decade to answer the following three questions: (1) Are Metaverse-related technologies useful in mitigating body image disturbance in patients diagnosed with Anorexia nervosa and Bulimia nervosa? (2) What are the advantages and disadvantages? (3) Are the patients satisfied after using this kind of technology? The results obtained were that 80% of the included studies found metaverse-related technologies useful for the improvement in body image disturbance, in addition to various advantages, such as a decrease in eating disorder symptomatology. Whereas patient satisfaction was only evaluated in 20% of the included studies, with the majority of patients evaluating the use of metaverse-related technologies positively. We will conduct a systematic review of the peer-reviewed literature from EBSCO Discovery Service, and Web of Science (WOS), following the PRISMA statements. Only Journal articles published from 2013 to the present, written in the English language, will be reviewed. The findings are expected to offer valuable insights for the development of novel approaches for the improvement in body image disturbance in healthcare settings.

We provide here the first bottom-up review of the lived experience of depression, co-written by experts by experience and academics. First-person accounts withinand outside the medical field were screened and discussed in collaborative workshops involving numerous individuals with lived experience of depression, family members and carers, representing a global network of organizations. The material was enriched by phenomenologically informedperspectives and shared with all collaborators in a cloud-based system. The subjective world of depression was characterized by an altered experience of emotions and body (feeling overwhelmed by negative emotions, unable to experience positive emotions, stuck in a heavy aching body drained of energy, detached from the mind, the body and the world); an altered experience of the self (losing sense of purpose and existential hope, mismatch between the past and the depressed self, feeling painfully incarcerated, losing control over one's thoughts, losing the capacity to act on the world; feeling numb, empty, non-existent, dead, and dreaming of death as a possible escape route); and an altered experience of time (experiencing an alteration of vital biorhythms, an overwhelming past, a stagnation of the present, and the impossibility of the future). The experience of depression in the social and cultural context was characterized by altered interpersonal experiences (struggling with communication, feeling loneliness and estrangement, perceiving stigma and stereotypes), and varied acrossdifferentcultures, ethnic or racial minorities, and genders. The subjective perception of recovery varied (feeling contrasting attitudes towards recovery, recognizing recovery as a journey, recognizing one's vulnerability and the need for professional help), as did the experience of receiving pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, and social as well as physical health interventions. These findings can inform clinical practice, research and education. This journey in the lived experience of depression can also help us to understand the nature of our own emotions and feelings, what is to believe in something, what is to hope, and what is to be a living human being.

El estudio del espíritu emprendedor en los estudiantes universitarios es un tema de importante interés económico y académico que está basado en diversas teorías motivacionales que han sido planteadas en el campo de la Psicología. Los estudios de emprendimiento han permitido una comprensión de las razones por las cuales las personas se convierten en creadoras y administradoras de sus propias empresas. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la Visión gerencial en la Unellez respecto a la formación del espíritu emprendedor de los estudiantes. En tal sentido, se plantea un diseño documental, de campo y descriptivo. Por esta razón se recurre a una revisión bibliográfica, recolección de información y análisis de los datos. Al mismo tiempo se emplearon los gestores Mendeley y Zotero para organizar la bibliografía y la búsqueda avanzada se ha efectuado en bases de datos y repositorios de investigación de acceso abierto en las principales universidades nacionales e internacionales, así como otros tipos de documentos provenientes de revistas y publicaciones científicas que abordan el tema de estudio. Asimismo, se recurrió a dos muestras censales una formada por 126 estudiantes y otra por 20 profesores con cargos gerenciales en la Unellez Santa Bárbara. Se emplearon los formularios Google como técnica de encuesta, tipo Escala de Likert que miden el Espíritu Emprendedor en sus sinergias respectivas. Los instrumentos se validaron por Juicio de Expertos. El coeficiente Alpha de Cronbach obtenido para el instrumento aplicado a los estudiantes resultó igual a 0,772 (con 15 ítems). El coeficiente Alpha del instrumento aplicado a docentes fue de 0,778 (con 15 ítems). Este valor de confiabilidad es alto según el criterio de Ruiz (2013). Se concluye que se ha descuidado la formación del espíritu emprendedor de los estudiantes en la Unellez.

Case-study-based learning is an essential tool in Management education, especially in decision-making and leadership courses, which does present a challenge in their assessment. This paper presents a summative co-assessment approach to a case-study-based Management course, which involves self-assessment as well as the evaluation of the instructor, with the aim to improve the engagement of the students by involving them in their own assessment. Our work attempts to fill the perceived gap in the literature on approaches that enhance the engagement of the students by using case-studies and coassessment of not only the work performed but also of the skills acquired. It is our objective to demonstrate the validity of the proposed co-assessment approach

El Psicodrama, creado por Jacob Levy Moreno, es un método de abordaje del individuo, la familia, los grupos y la comunidad, que tuvo sus orígenes en el teatro, la sociología y la psicología. Desde su trabajo con niños y grupos marginales, su creador va gestando su teoría y su técnica. Se desarrolla en diferentes ámbitos: clínica, psicoterapia, pedagogía y comunidad. El cuerpo, el juego, el espacio y el tiempo confluyen de una manera poética y contribuyen a la libertad creadora y a la tan añorada espontaneidad. El Psicodrama se desarrolla en ese espacio transicional, que no siendo ni interno, ni externo, se transforma en ese espacio pluripotencial de infinitas posibilidades creadoras.
