El ambiente de aprendizaje es uno de los elementos importantes en todo proceso educativo. En la educación inicial no es diferente su relevancia. Imagine que se pone en el zapato de un niño o una niña de dos años, o de tres que su primer entorno inmediato es el hogar, la familia, el lenguaje materno, los juguetes, entre otros objetos de la casa y de repente es trasladado a otro lugar que desconoce, observa otros niños y niñas parecidas a él o ella, pero a la vez diferentes, y personas extrañas le saludan, le toman de la mano para ingresar a un nuevo mundo que conocer que tampoco sabe por cuánto tiempo estará. ¿te animaría a conocer lo desconocido?

Background: The purpose of this study is to examine the evidence of the effectiveness of telemedicine in postural stability treatment in independent patients affected by Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: This is a literature review of studies investigating the effect of telemedicine in postural stability treatment in independent patients affected by PD. PRISMA guidelines were followed during the design, search, and reporting stages of this review. The search was carried out in the MEDLINE databases. Results: A total of 1854 studies were detected and analyzed by performing the proposed searches in the detailed databases. After removing duplicates and analyzing the titles and abstracts of the remaining articles, 6 studies were ultimately selected for this review. At least 50% of the studies included in this review showed positive results in improving postural stability in patients with PD after a home-based intervention. Conclusions: The home-based intervention based upon technologically assisted telerehabilitation may support the aspects of an effective and efficient physical therapy allowing the physiotherapists to deliver functional rehabilitation in the home setting outside the hospital and supervise more than one patient simultaneously during rehabilitation sessions.

<p>En los últimos años está de moda hablar de globalización, término utilizado incansablemente por los estudiosos, políticos y medios de comunicación. “La cosa de la globalización", título apropiado de un artículo publicado en Cornell Hotel & Restaurant Administration Quarterly, se ha hecho sitio en la imaginería pública de la “realidad”. La globalización, entendida como “la intensificación de las relaciones sociales de ámbito mundial que vinculan localidades distantes de modo que los acontecimientos locales son configurados por otros ocurridos a muchas millas de distancia” (Giddens, 1990: 64), describe y explica así interdependencias e interrelaciones globales (Campanella, 1990: 4). Personas que habitan en localidades diferentes advierten que las condiciones sociales y económicas que les afectan tienen algo que ver con acontecimientos que tienen lugar en otras partes. En esta nueva era de consciencia global, se utiliza la causalidad externa como motivo o excusa de los problemas sociales y económicos y como justificación de medidas impopulares de austeridad y de cambios estructurales introducidos por diversos gobiernos. El desempleo, la inflación y la recesión se atribuyen a las condiciones económicas globales, y los altos tipos de interés, los recortes de la asistencia social, los despidos y las restricciones democráticas se presentan como medidas necesarias para afrontar los retos globales.</p>

Critical infrastructures (CIs), including energy, healthcare, and transportation, are vital to societal functions, making their security paramount. The emergence of edge computing as a means of safe data management is a direct result of the growing dependence of these infrastructures on real-time data and networked devices. Computing at the edge, or near the source of data, improves efficiency, simplifies data processing, and enables better real-time judgements by decentralising data processing. However, this distributed architecture introduces new security challenges, such as managing a broader attack surface and ensuring data integrity. This paper reviews the role of edge computing in securing critical infrastructures and discusses advanced security measures like encryption, access control, AI-driven anomaly detection, and blockchain. It also outlines future research directions, emphasizing the need for scalable, interoperable edge systems, AI-enhanced security models, quantum-safe encryption, and privacy-preserving techniques. Global standardization is highlighted as essential for consistent, reliable integration. Ultimately, edge computing offers a promising pathway to fortify critical infrastructures against evolving cyber threats, ensuring their continued, resilient operation in an increasingly connected and digital world

Recibido: 22/02/20/23 Evaluado: 15/06/2023 Resumen Este escrito propone revisar los diversos usos y formas de concebir el canon en la historia de las ideas en cuanto ámbito descriptivo y normativo que define y traza límites y fronteras de la disciplina de historia de las ideas. Este recorrido se estructura en tres partes. En primer lugar, se mostrará la concepción descriptiva del canon que es operativa en la historia de las ideas, en donde se indicarán algunas inconsistencias en cuanto a su formación y los criterios utilizados para su constitución. En segundo lugar, se expondrá la concepción normativa del canon, aquella que define un conjunto de normas y reglas que permiten identificar a la disciplina como tal, y donde también se indicarán determinadas inconsistencias que no habilitan una constitución permanente del canon de historia de las ideas. En tercer lugar, como consecuencia de esta situación defenderé un carácter flexible del canon y junto a ello mostraré las actitudes críticas o transgresoras que se pueden adoptar como respuesta a la flexibilidad del canon. Las reflexiones que trataré de esbozar en este escrito en ningún caso deben tomarse como conclusiones de ningún tipo, sino que deben ser entendidas como estímulos para la discusión sobre la historia de las Ideas como campo disciplinar. Palabras clave: historia de las ideas, disciplina, canon

The tradition of digital writing instructional practices is nearly 50 years old in the US (Handa, 2004). Sometimes, students fully online digital writing courses may fail to engage with and finish the course because they do not feel competent in handling the technologies in the academic context; thus, it is important to find out what equitable practices and what factors influence student success in these courses. Therefore, this study aims to examine digital writing assignments requested in a writing course, with the goal of demonstrating an inclusive and equitable practice: the Labor-based grading contract, in a way that promotes equal and fair grades. This practice is proposed as a solution to the shortcomings detected, since it has been observed that students inexperienced in pre-college education in the delivery of online writing assignments persist in their difficulties with technological educational platforms in college. The creation of a contract between the teacher and the students -at first-, fosters knowledge, motivation, involvement, or engagement with the task; thus, digital writing assignments go from being an unattainable goal to being a feasible task to engage in. Also, the cooperative creation of this online writing with an easy-to-use platform (Eli Peer Review) stimulates them to persist in the following tasks, as they have already reflected on them and have already found out among their peers what they consist of and how to deal with such tasks. In our research we present a case study of a course based on online writing instruction. Therefore, this study aims to examine a particular course in the United States in which multimedia writing assignments and labor-based grading allowed for deep student engagement and success (Dickson,1974; Inoue, 2019). The data comes from the use of mixed methods that combine qualitative information collected through document analysis (teacher materials: syllabi, guidelines, instructions; student materials: personal research, blog entries, and final letter); classroom observation field diaries and the semi-structured teacher interview, with the quantitative methods of a student survey. The results show that there is a high degree of alignment between the course and the best practices of online instruction, and that the nature of the assignments and the Labor-based Grading Contract (Dickson,1974, Inoue, 2019) appear to play key roles in student engagement and success in the course. Likewise, the most highlighted aspect by the students has been the emotional factor, since the tasks have allowed them to get involved and enjoy writing in the digital support. The systematic observation of this writing course aims to deeply understand its provenance, objectives, taxonomy and functionality, with the final purpose of highlighting the capabilities of this methodology in order to offer it as a model in other contexts to promote a fairer and more equitable education.

This article intends to provide a reflection that leads educators to knowledge that relates the brain, its maturity and perception, to learning. Thus, it presents itself with the theme: Neurosciences in the context of school education: the stimulation of learning. It is believed that the human mind was constituted and there is no way to understand how it is organized with a traditional view of intelligence. Therefore, the current educator needs to know and reposition himself in the face of new studies and discoveries about the human mind and intelligence. Thus, the objective is to analyze, in the existing literature, neuroscience in training and pedagogical practice, as a tool for learning. The research took place through exploratory and reflective bibliographic research, with the contribution of authors such as: CARVALHO (2010), FONSECA (2015), OLIVEIRA (2011), RELVAS (2012, 2016, 2018), it is possible to understand the issue of neurosciences in education as a facilitator from understanding to the teaching-learning process and its difficulties, also highlighting issues such as motivation, emotion and memorization. Pedagogical action needs to be carried out by new discoveries that help in the classroom process and that search for new visions, as allowed by neuroscience. It becomes necessary to enable the student to enjoy learning, rescuing lost interests due to the difficulties not addressed.

BackgroundMultidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a frequent opportunistic pathogen that causes significant mortality in patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis (NCFB). Although the quorum sensing (QS) system is a potential target for treatment, lasR mutants that present with a QS-deficient phenotype have been frequently reported among clinical P. aeruginosa isolates. We aimed to investigate whether antibiotic resistance would select for lasR mutants during chronic P. aeruginosa lung infection and determine the mechanism underlying the phenomenon.MethodsWe prospectively evaluated episodes of chronic P. aeruginosa lung infections in NCFB patients over a 2-year period at two centers of our institution. QS phenotypic assessments and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) of P. aeruginosa isolates were performed. Evolution experiments were conducted to confirm the emergence of lasR mutants in clinical MDR P. aeruginosa cultures.ResultsWe analyzed episodes of P. aeruginosa infection among 97 NCFB patients and found only prior carbapenem exposure independently predictive of the isolation of MDR P. aeruginosa strains. Compared with non-MDR isolates, MDR isolates presented significantly QS-deficient phenotypes, which could not be complemented by the exogenous addition of 3OC12-HSL. The paired isolates showed that their QS-phenotype deficiency occurred after MDR was developed. Whole-genome sequencing analysis revealed that lasR nonsynonymous mutations were significantly more frequent in MDR isolates, and positive correlations of mutation frequencies were observed between genes of lasR and negative-efflux-pump regulators (nalC and mexZ). The addition of the efflux pump inhibitor PAβN could not only promote QS phenotypes of these MDR isolates but also delay the early emergence of lasR mutants in evolution experiments.ConclusionsOur data indicated that MDR P. aeruginosa was predisposed to lasR mutation through the upregulated activity of efflux pumps. These findings suggest that anti-QS therapy combined with efflux pump inhibitors might be a potential strategy for NCFB patients in the challenge of MDR P. aeruginosa infections.
