ABSTRACT: The structure of the root system of the conilon coffee tree has improved over the years through propagation, genetic, and agronomic studies in response to demands for improvements in plant development, production, and survival of the species. Scientific research plays an important role in generating technologies and the security of applications. However, there is a need to refine the content generated to analyze discoveries and trends on the subject. Therefore, the present study conduct a bibliometric review and analysis on the main contributions of relevant studies, researchers, organizations, and countries in academic research on the rooting of Coffea canephora in the Web of Science (WOS) database. Data from the WOS database published between 1982 and 2021 and systematized in the VOSviewer software showed a set of 92 articles, the majority of which originated in Brazil and France, with the main groups being the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation, the Federal University of Viçosa, and CIRAD. The study was divided into five areas: genetic diversity, asexual propagation, nematology, tolerance to water stress, and micropropagation. However, in the context of climate changes and its impact on the production and longevity of Brazilian coffee farming, research focused on the root system has increased significantly, integrating it into lines that explore and integrate topics such as climate risk, water management, drought tolerance, and drip irrigation, including reflections on the performance of coffee agronomy.

Abstract Background: The implementation of Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is critical to the quality of nursing care. Formal leaders play a crucial role in developing interventions to implement EBP, so it is important to understand their perceptions. Objective: To examine formal nurse leaders’ perceptions of EBP. Methodology: Descriptive exploratory study with a qualitative approach. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 leaders from three Portuguese hospitals. Data were analyzed using content analysis and MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2022 software. All ethical principles were observed. Results: Two themes and their categories emerged − Knowledge of EBP (Concept of EBP, Impact of EBP on health outcomes, and Self-perception of the knowledge about EBP) and Role in EBP implementation (behaviors and characteristics). Conclusion: The leaders described their perception of the concept of EBP and the association between the impact of EBP and health outcomes, the need for knowledge, and the investment in training, as well as their role in this process. Future training programs should be implemented in this area.

Abstract: The integration of electric mobility is real nowadays. Government policies increasingly focus on encouraging the use of electric vehicles (EVs); particularly, replacing conventional public mobility with electric buses. An adequate energy management of electric bus systems must optimize resource usage, and extend the lifespan of transport units and charging stations, while providing quality service to users. The performance of the EV transport system depends on various deterministic and stochastic variables that need to be accurately simulated to analyze its behavior as closely as possible to real conditions. In this study, a model for the energy analysis of EVs has been implemented, by using the software SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility) and applying it to public transport routes in Quito, Ecuador. Through the executed simulations, energy consumption has been estimated and, a sensitivity analysis of the energy consumption of electric bus units to the variations in relevant parameters in the energy management of public transport systems, has been carried out. The impact of certain parameters on energy consumption has been verified, by indicating a significant decrease in the autonomy of EVs on the simulated route under very similar to reality operating conditions. For study case, autonomy reduction of electric bus is around 27% in comparison with manufacturer's specifications. The analysis of energy performance under various traffic scenarios will allow future optimizations of the electric public transport system operation, since traffic levels, variable traffic flow, and pronounced changes in terrain elevation, are considered.

Resumen: La integración de la movilidad eléctrica es una realidad en el mundo actual, las políticas gubernamentales se enfocan cada vez más en incentivar el uso de vehículos eléctricos (VE) particulares, pero, principalmente en reemplazar la movilidad pública convencional por el uso de buses eléctricos. Una adecuada gestión energética de los sistemas de buses eléctricos debe optimizar el uso de recursos, prolongando la vida útil de las unidades de transporte, estaciones de carga y brindando siempre un servicio de calidad a sus usuarios. El desempeño del sistema de transporte mediante VE depende de diversas variables determinísticas y estocásticas que necesitan ser debidamente simuladas a fin de analizar su comportamiento, lo más cercano a las condiciones reales. En el presente trabajo, mediante la aplicación del software SUMO (Simulation of Urban Mobility), se ha implementado un modelo para el análisis energético de VE y se lo ha aplicado en rutas de transporte público en Quito-Ecuador. A partir de las simulaciones realizadas se ha estimado el consumo energético y se ha efectuado un análisis de sensibilidad del consumo energético de las unidades de buses eléctricos ante variaciones de parámetros relevantes en la gestión energética de sistemas de transporte público. Para el caso de estudio se comprueba la reducción de la autonomía del bus eléctrico en 27% de acuerdo con la información del fabricante. El análisis del desempeño energético realizado bajo diversos escenarios de tráfico permitirá en futuros trabajos optimizar la operación de los sistemas de transporte público eléctrico, considerando niveles de tráfico, flujo vehicular variable y pronunciados desniveles en su relieve.

Abstract The present article presents the results of the research entitled “Women, Violence, and Fear in the Public Space of Colombian Cities: A Comparative Analysis of Medellín, Bogotá, and Cali” funded by CODI and the Research Center of the Faculty of Law and Political Sciences at the University of Antioquia. In this study, the causal conditions that affect the presence of livable public spaces for women are examined, using the comparative configurational method and the fsQCA software, in order to establish a sufficient explanation for the existence of this habitability. The analytical framework used was the feminist geography of difference. The data collection techniques were survey and documentary tracking. It is concluded that the minimum implications for the presence of habitable public spaces for women are two: mobility and effective accessibility, and the availability of inclusive and safe cultural offerings. In addition, it is found that gender is a necessary condition, but not a sufficient one, for the space to be habitable.

Resumen El presente artículo expone los resultados de la investigación titulada “Mujeres, violencia y miedo en el espacio público de las ciudades colombianas: un análisis comparado de Medellín, Bogotá y Cali”, financiado por el CODI y el Centro de Investigaciones de la Facultad de Derecho y Ciencias Políticas de la Universidad de Antioquia. En esta se estudiaron las condiciones causales que inciden en la presencia de espacios públicos habitables para las mujeres, se utilizó el método configuracional comparado y el software fsQCA, con el fin de establecer la explicación suficiente para que esta habitabilidad se dé. El marco analítico utilizado fue la geografía feminista de la diferencia. Las técnicas de recolección de información empleadas fueron la encuesta y el rastreo documental. Se concluyó que las implicaciones mínimas para la presencia de espacios públicos habitables para las mujeres son dos: la movilidad y accesibilidad efectiva y la disponibilidad de propuestas culturales incluyentes y seguras. Adicionalmente, se estableció que el género es condición necesaria, más no suficiente, para que el espacio sea habitable.

Abstract: Introduction: Elimination ostomies are defined as an externalization of part of the digestive system due to harmful inflammatory, oncological or congenital effects, generating a set of biopsychosocial implications. Objective: To identify some perceptions and social representations constructed by people with elimination ostomies around their condition. Methodology: This is a descriptive and exploratory study, with a qualitative approach, based on the Theory of Social Representations, carried out through reports from patients with elimination stoma in an outpatient nursing consultation in stoma therapy, processed using the IRaMuTeQ software. Results: A series of interpretations are inferred that reveal the challenges and consequences imposed by these devices, such as social, work and food barriers, which add to the stigmas and negative feelings associated with self-image and self-perception in the consciousness of these individuals, as well as the potentialities observed such as the family, community and spirituality of the participants, requiring understanding from health professionals. Final Considerations: The work expresses representations built around some patients’ perceptions regarding the use of a stoma, which can help in understanding this state, supporting a more empathetic professional practice that is attuned to psychological, social and spiritual aspects

Abstract Introduction: Pre-eclampsia complicates 2-4% of pregnancies. Metformin is a promising therapeutic candidate as would reduce the secretion of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 and soluble endoglin from endothelial cells and primary villous trophoblasts. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the effects and safety of metformin for preventing pre-eclampsia. Materials and methods: A systematic review was carried out with Cochrane methodology, performing an electronic search for randomized clinical trials in pregnant women, which compared the use of metformin with placebo or no intervention, and reported incidence of pre-eclampsia within their results. Review manager software was used for the statistical analysis. Results: Five studies were included with results for 1977 participants. A 56% reduction in the risk of pre-eclampsia in pregnant women who received metformin was found, compared to placebo or no intervention (RR 0.44; 95% confidence interval 0.21-0.90; random effects analysis; I2 = 71%; Tau2 = 0.46; low-quality evidence). No significant differences were found for the secondary outcomes. Conclusions: The use of metformin in overweight or obese pregnant women, beginning before 20 weeks of gestation, could reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia by 56%; however, the beneficial effect could be non-significant, due to heterogeneity and low quality of current evidence.

Resumen Introducción: La preeclampsia complica del 2 al 4% de los embarazos. La metformina es un candidato terapéutico prometedor, al reducir la secreción de tirosina-quinasa-1 soluble similar a fms (sFlt-1) y endoglina soluble (sEng) de las células endoteliales y los trofoblastos vellosos primarios. Objetivo: Se propone determinar los efectos y la seguridad de la metformina para prevenir la preeclampsia a través de una revisión sistemática con metodología Cochrane. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó búsqueda electrónica de ensayos clínicos aleatorizados en mujeres embarazadas, que compararon el uso de metformina con placebo o ninguna intervención, y reportaron dentro de sus resultados incidencia de preeclampsia. Resultados: Se incluyeron cinco estudios con resultados de 1977 participantes. Se encontró una reducción del 56% en el riesgo de preeclampsia en embarazadas que recibieron metformina, en comparación con placebo o ninguna intervención (RR 0,44; IC 95% 0,21-0,90; I2 = 71%; baja calidad evidencia). No hubo diferencias significativas para los resultados secundarios. Conclusiones: El uso de metformina en mujeres embarazadas con sobrepeso u obesidad, iniciado antes de las 20 semanas de gestación, podría reducir el riesgo de preeclampsia en un 56%. Sin embargo, el efecto beneficioso podría no ser significativo, dada la heterogeneidad y baja calidad de la evidencia actual.

Hierdie sewe-jaar longitudinale opvoedingstudie evalueer drie akademiese afleweringsmodusse vir deeltydse MBA-studente in hul Bemarkingsbestuursmodule, naamlik vol kontak (20172019), vol aanlyn tydens COVID-19 se harde inperking (2020-2021 en die daaropvolgende gemengde modus (2022-2023). Die studie het ten doel om te bepaal of die afleweringsmodus studente se akademiese prestasie beduidend beïnvloed. Die eenrigting-variansie-analise (EVA) het beduidende verskille tussen die afleweringsmodusse vir individuele opdragte (normatiewe assessering) en groepgevallestudies (summatiewe assessering) geïdentifiseer. Daar was ook betekenisvolle verskille tussen die akademiese prestasie ten opsigte van die finale saamgestelde portefeulje van kennis (wat as eksamen dien). Hierdie portefeulje bestaan uit 'n prakties-toegepaste bemarkingsplan. Die post-hoc toetse het getoon dat studente aansienlik beter gevaar het tydens die gemengde afleweringsmodus in individuele opdragte, terwyl die volledige aanlyn modus laer punte vir die groepgevallestudies gehad het. Beide die gemengde en volledige kontakmodusse het beduidende opeenvolgende verbetering vir die groepgevallestudies getoon, wat in elke gevallestudie verbetering getoon het namate die semester gevorder het. Dit verskil van volledige aanlyn onderrig. Die gemengde modus het ook aansienlik beter gevaar in die eksamen- en finale modulepunte en het selfs beter gevaar as volkontakklasse.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly transformed the tertiary education landscape. Traditional contact universities were forced abruptly to adopt a full-distance education mode, a situation neither the students nor lecturers were prepared for. Many lectures and teaching activities were developed on the fly as universities struggled to roll out the needed support in double-time for lecturers and students. This new normal for education required integrating technology, advanced communication software, revised assessment techniques, and recognising the need for flexible and adaptable approaches to teaching and learning. Students also evolved and gained technological proficiency, adaptability, time management, soft skills, social media proficiency, and an awareness of health and well-being. Albeit uncertain in redefining the new normal, universities continue to provide quality education. However, exactly how university education should be delivered to a new breed of students in a new business environment is a challenge. This is even more so in the case of executive MBA students. After the hard lockdown and restrictions were lifted on 21 September 2020, the North-West University Business School started to explore other modes of academic content delivery. Reinstating a full contact delivery mode was not an option because of remaining restrictions. High technological investment, online-educated lecturers and students, and benefits and developments during online learning now form a new normal for the Business School. Which teaching method, or rather, which mode of delivery, is the most relevant and adequate? Should the MBA lectures return to the historic full-contact delivery mode, stick with the newly established full online mode, or attempt to integrate the benefits of both into a hybrid mode of delivering business education to a new breed of technology-savvy students? This study, therefore, examines the academic performance of the different delivery modes by comparing data of Executive MBA Marketing management students at the NWU Business School in South Africa. The study examines the academic performance of these students from 2017 up to 2023. The panel database consists of Executive MBA students'marks for the module in Marketing Management from 2017 up to 2023. The database contains marks for individual assignments, groupwork case studies, final individual- and groupwork marks, exam marks and the final module mark. The final assessment is a portfolio of evidence comprising a detailed marketing plan for a product, service, or organisation of choice. The mode of delivery served as the dependent variable, while the independent variables comprised the marks for each assignment (groupwork, individual and portfolio of evidence). Three delivery modes were compared, namely full-contact (2017-2019), full-online (2020-2021), and the post-pandemic hybrid mode currently in effect (2022-2023). The data comprised 630 cases. However, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) used 532 cases to compare the different groupwork assignments (230 full-contact students, 159 full-online students, and 143 hybrid students). Cronbach's alpha coefficient measured the data's reliability, and one-way ANOVA determined significant differences (p<.05) between the academic performance of the three delivery modes. The analysis confirmed that significant differences exist between the modes of delivery for individual assignments, group case studies and exams (p<.05). The Tukey ab post-hoc tests showed that students performed significantly better during the hybrid delivery mode in individual assignments (69.2%) than full contact (63.8%). Regarding the individual assignment, the full online (63.8%) and full contact (63.7%) delivery modes perform significantly worse than the hybrid (69.2%) delivery mode. Regarding the first group case study (Group Assignment 1), full online performs (67.3%) significantly worse than hybrid (71.1%) and full contact (73.6%) delivery modes. There is no significant difference between the hybrid and full contact delivery modes. In the second, third, and fourth group case studies (Group Assignments 2, 3 & 4), the hybrid delivery mode (82.37%, 75.4%, 82.7%) outperforms the full contact (75.4, 80.1%, 86.6%) and full-online (71.4%, 71.4%, 67.8%) modes. The hybrid delivery mode, therefore, proves to be more conducive towards academic performance in group work. Finally, in considering the final module mark, the hybrid delivery mode (71.0%) is significantly higher than the other two delivery modes. However, there is no significant difference between full online (67.5%) and full-contact (67.2%) delivery modes regarding the final module mark. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that the better performance in the final module marks is a function of the groupwork where the students analysed case studies together. There are no significant differences in the exam marks between the delivery modes, so better academic performance in the hybrid mode of delivery where groupwork is concerned culminates in the better module mark. Based on the findings, it is evident that the hybrid mode of delivery results in the best academic performance. This observation is based on three reasons, namely 1) students performed better in both the normative and summative assessments during hybrid tuition; 2) there is continuous progressive learning throughout the semester regarding the group case studies (summative assessment). They learn to improve and hone their skills to analyse better and apply business solutions to real-life problems experienced by organisations. This is based on students' improving marks in the group case studies as they become more proficient in analysing and answering the applied case studies because they learn from each case study; and 3) the students perform better academically in their normative assessments and earn higher final module marks (partially due to reason 2). It is concluded that the hybrid delivery mode facilitates the academic performance of post-pandemic executive MBA Marketing management students. JEL KODES: I23, I21, M30

Abstract In the community in La Virgen de Sarapiquí, community outreach projects have been carried out from 2018 to 2024. The projects had the purpose of providing the participants with professional skills for the potential tourist visitation in the area due to the opening of El Ceibo of the Braulio Carrillo National Park. In the last three years, English courses have been taught in the community with the aim of promoting linguistic competences in their tourism ventures. This qualitative research evidences the lived experiences and perceptions of two participants in the process of learning and Practicing English in socio-productive activities, developed under this community outreach framework. For this descriptive case study, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, collages, and reflective narratives. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis and using NVivo as software for data coding. The results obtained include the context of the participants before taking the English courses, the perceptions of these people about the English courses, the experiences lived in the implementation of the language and job projections in relation to English. It was concluded that the learning of English was effective and its use in the socio-productive activities of the participants. Also, extension projects are key in the development of rural communities along with the implementation of project management principles such as quality, complexity, adaptability, and resilience; In addition, rigorous qualitative research allows a systematization with perspectives from the experiences and perceptions of the participants.

Resúmen La comunidad en La Virgen de Sarapiquí ha sido parte de un proceso de extensión universitaria desde el 2015 hasta el 2024. Los proyectos tuvieron como propósito proveer a la población meta de habilidades profesionales para atender una potencial visitación turística en la zona debido a la apertura del puesto operativo El Ceibo del Parque Nacional Braulio Carrillo.

Abstract Introduction: Every year, thousands of students enter higher education, often facing personal and academic challenges. This new phase in their lives involves adapting to increased autonomy, a new routine and a new academic environment, which can result in emotional changes. The feelings experienced in this transition phase can have an impact on their quality of life, their adaptation and their academic success. Objectives: The aim of this study is to identify the emotional states present in the perceptions of first-year undergraduate students, in relation to the period of transition and academic adaptation to higher education. Methodology: This is an exploratory, qualitative study, carried out using a focus group, with content analysis using Nvivo 14 software. The group consisted of nine public higher education students. At the time of data collection, the participants were enrolled in their first year of undergraduate studies in different schools and scientific areas at the same Portuguese institution. Results: The preliminary data shows that the students interviewed tend to characterize their first contact with higher education as a shock. They also described situations of stress, demotivation and doubt associated with not knowing their peers, leaving their parents' home and the new academic reality. On the other hand, emotions of optimism, security and resilience are identified when a favorable relationship is established with teachers and the student is satisfied with the course. Final Considerations: Although negative emotional states were manifested, these tended to dissipate with integration into the institution, support from teachers, the formation of new friendships, and adaptation to new academic demands.

Resumo Introdução: Todos os anos, milhares de estudantes ingressam no ensino superior, deparando-se frequentemente com desafios pessoais e académicos. Esta nova fase das suas vidas implica a adaptação a um aumento de autonomia, a uma nova rotina e a um novo ambiente académico, podendo resultar em alterações emocionais. Os sentimentos vividos nesta fase de transição podem ter um impacto na sua qualidade de vida, na sua adaptação e no seu sucesso académico. Objetivos: O objetivo deste estudo é identificar os estados emocionais presentes nas perceções dos estudantes do primeiro ano de licenciatura, em relação ao período de transição e adaptação académica ao ensino superior. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo de carácter exploratório, qualitativo, realizado com recurso a um grupo focal, com análise de conteúdo recorrendo ao software Nvivo 14. O grupo foi constituído por nove estudantes do ensino superior público. Aquando da recolha de dados, os participantes estavam matriculados no 1.º ano em licenciaturas de diferentes escolas e áreas científicas da mesma instituição portuguesa. Resultados: Os dados preliminares mostram que tendencialmente os estudantes entrevistados caracterizam o seu primeiro contacto com o ensino superior, como um choque. São também descritas situações de stress, desmotivação e dúvida associadas ao desconhecimento dos colegas, saída da casa dos pais e à nova realidade académica. Por outro lado, são identificadas emoções de otimismo, segurança e resiliência quando se estabelece uma relação favorável com os docentes e o estudante está satisfeito com o curso. Considerações Finais: Embora tenham sido identificados estados emocionais negativos, estes tendem a dissipar-se com a integração na instituição, o apoio dos professores, a formação de novas amizades e a adaptação às novas exigências académicas.

Resumo Fundamento Análises em grandes registros apontam desfechos desfavoráveis para mulheres submetidas à cirurgia de revascularização do miocárdio (CRM), enquanto estudos randomizados sofrem com a falta de representatividade. Objetivo Comparar os resultados hospitalares ajustados entre homens e mulheres submetidos à CRM. Métodos Entre julho de 2017 e junho de 2019, 3991 pacientes foram submetidos à CRM primária isolada, tanto de forma eletiva como de urgência, em 5 hospitais de estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Para equilibrar as diferenças entre homens e mulheres, as populações foram ajustadas utilizando o Propensity Score Matching. Os desfechos considerados para análise foram os utilizados pelo STS Adult Database. As análises foram conduzidas no software R, considerando significância valores de p < 0,05. Resultados Após o Propensity Score Matching (1:1), cada grupo incluiu 1089 pacientes. Em relação às variáveis intraoperatórias os homens apresentaram maior tempo de CEC (p<0,001), tempo cirúrgico (p<0,001), número de anastomoses distais (p<0,001) e uso de enxertos arteriais. Em relação aos desfechos as mulheres apresentaram maior incidência de infecção de ferida profunda (p=0,006), tempo prolongado na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (p=0,002), maior necessidade do uso de balão intraórtico (p=0,04), maior taxa de transfusão sanguínea (p<0,001), maior readmissão hospitalar em até 30 dias após a cirurgia (p=0,002) e maior taxa de óbitos (p=0,03). Conclusões Apesar dos homens terem apresentado um maior tempo de CEC, maior número de enxertos arteriais e maior número de anastomoses distais, os resultados imediatos após CRM foram piores em mulheres.

Abstract Background Analyses of extensive registries indicate adverse outcomes for women undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, while randomized studies often lack representativeness. Objective To compare adjusted hospital outcomes between men and women undergoing CABG. Methods From July 2017 to June 2019, 3991 patients underwent primary isolated CABG, both electively and urgently, in 5 hospitals in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. To mitigate demographic differences between men and women, populations were adjusted using propensity score matching (PSM). The outcomes considered for analysis were those used by the STS Adult Database. The analyses were performed using R software, with a significance set at p<0.05. Results After PSM (1:1), each group included 1089 patients. Regarding intraoperative variables, men exhibited longer cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time (p<0.001), surgical time (p<0.001), a higher number of distal anastomoses (p<0.001), and increased use of arterial grafts. Regarding outcomes, women had a higher incidence of deep sternal wound infection (p=0.006), prolonged Intensive Care Unit stay (p=0.002), increased need for an intra-aortic balloon pump (p=0.04), higher blood transfusion rates (p<0.001), higher 30-day hospital readmission rates after surgery (p=0.002) and higher mortality rate (p=0.03). Conclusions Although men had longer CPB times, a greater number of arterial grafts, and a greater number of distal anastomoses, immediate results after CABG were poorer in women.

ABSTRACT: This research evaluated different rice genotypes regarding physicochemical and instrumental parameters of grain quality and associated the data with sensory analysis to support the creation of rules for classification of the culinary quality of rice (texture), based on isolated or combined parameters. The combination of amylose content and gelatinization temperature was able to predict the rice quality. According to the sensorial panel, the instrumental stickiness was able to segregate rice with very low amylose content or waxy to the other ones. Regarding pasting properties, rice that presented high final viscosity (310-480 RVU), setback (165-245 RVU), and pasting temperature (78 - 88 °C), and low values for breakdown (15-120 RVU), associated with a high stickiness (>-5N) was desirable by the Brazilian consumers. The classification rules created through the relationship between the physicochemical parameters and the texture profile evaluated by the sensory panel will help to verify the culinary profile of the rice samples (through free software), which makes it easier to predict the probability of rice meeting the desired quality standards.

RESUMO: Este trabalho avaliou diferentes genótipos de arroz quanto a parâmetros físico-químicos e instrumentais de qualidade do grão e associou os dados à análise sensorial para subsidiar a criação de regras de classificação da qualidade culinária do arroz (textura), com base em parâmetros isolados ou combinados. A combinação do teor de amilose e temperatura de gelatinização foi capaz de predizer a qualidade do arroz. De acordo com o painel sensorial, a pegajosidade instrumental foi capaz de segregar arroz com baixo teor de amilose ou ceroso dos demais. Em relação às propriedades de pasta, o arroz que apresentou alta viscosidade final (310-480RVU), retrogradação (165-245RVU) e temperatura de pasta (78-88 °C) e baixos valores de quebra pasta (15-120RVU), associados a uma alta pegajosidade (> -5N) será desejável pelos consumidores brasileiros. As regras de classificação criadas por meio da relação entre os parâmetros físico-químicos e o perfil de textura avaliado pelo painel sensorial ajudarão a verificar o perfil culinário das amostras de arroz (por meio de um software livre), o que torna mais fácil prever a probabilidade de o arroz atender aos padrões de qualidade desejados.

Abstract: Data quality is a multidimensional field, which refers to the management of interdisciplinary information; for management, operation and decision making in institutions. In view of the above, the aim of this study is to explore the evolution and research trend on data quality assessments in academic management systems, between 1995 and 2023, through a bibliometric analysis. The methodology is structured by two phases; the first phase comprised data extraction and processing using Scopus database and VOSviewer and Bibliometrix software. The second phase comprised the bibliometric analysis based on the established bibliometric indicators (quantity, quality and structure). As a result, it was possible to identify a progressive growth of the subject between 2006 and 2022. An analysis of bibliometric indicators such as: production of documents and authors, distribution of productivity frequencies, analysis of countries and institutions, quality of journals and co-occurrence of keywords was also carried out. It is concluded that there are more than 100 authors and 50 influential institutions in the field. In addition, it was determined that 80% of the journals linked to the subject are between Quartile 1 and 4, which highlights a high level of prestige in research. Although valuable insight has been gained into the scientific production on data quality in various topics, there are few papers focused on data quality in academic management systems; this indicates research opportunities to address this underexplored área.

Resumen: La calidad de los datos es un ámbito multidimensional, que refiere al manejo de información interdisciplinaria; para la gestión, operación y toma de decisiones en las instituciones. De cara a lo antes mencionado, el objetivo del presente estudio es explorar la evolución y las tendencias en la investigación sobre evaluaciones de calidad de datos en sistemas de gestión académica, entre 1995 y 2023, a través de un análisis bibliométrico. La metodología está estructurada por dos fases; la primera fase abarcó la extracción y procesamiento de los datos utilizando la base de datos Scopus y el Software VOSviewer y Bibliometrix. La segunda fase comprende el análisis bibliométrico a partir de los indicadores bibliométricos establecidos (cantidad, calidad y estructura). Como resultado se logró identificar un crecimiento progresivo del tema entre 2006 y 2022. También se realizó un análisis de los indicadores bibliométricos como: producción de documentos y autores, distribución de frecuencias de productividad, análisis de países e instituciones, calidad de revistas y coocurrencia de palabras clave. Se concluye que son más de 100 autores y 50 instituciones influyentes en el campo. Además, se determinó que el 80% de las revistas vinculadas al tema se encuentra entre el Quartil 1 y 4, lo que destaca un alto nivel de prestigio en las investigaciones. Aunque se ha obtenido una visión valiosa de la producción científica sobre calidad de datos en diversos temas, existen escasos trabajos centrados en la calidad de datos en sistemas de gestión académica; esto indica oportunidades de investigación para abordar esta área poco explorada.

Abstract: This investigation compared the efficiency of a flat-plate solar collector with triangular and square geometry, by using the finite element method (FEM). The design of the geometries and the utilized parameters for the simulation were obtained from previous publications. SolidWorks was used to model the two collectors, meanwhile, the Fluent module of the ANSYS software was used for the simulation by the FEM. Collectors integrated a pipe of 7 mm internal diameter with a plate thickness of 11 mm; the defined material was aluminum. The experiment was conducted under ambient conditions at a temperature of 20 °C, accompanied by a solar radiation intensity of 1000 W·m-2. The heat transfer surfaces employed were 61 250 mm2 for the triangular collector and 122 500 mm2 for the square collector. The quality of the mesh was excellent, obtaining a skewness of 0.2486, with which efficiencies of 62 and 39 % and maximum temperatures of 27 and 25.5 °C were obtained for the triangular and square collectors, respectively. Due to the geometries performing as fins, the temperatures are higher in the corners and, therefore, achieving higher efficiency is impossible.

Resumen: En esta investigación, se comparó la eficiencia de un colector solar de placa plana con geometría triangular y cuadrada, a través del enfoque del método de elementos finitos (FEM, por sus siglas en inglés), se llevó a cabo la simulación. Las geometrías y los parámetros empleados en la simulación fueron extraídos de investigaciones previamente publicadas. Se utilizó el software SolidWorks para el modelado de los dos colectores, mientras que el módulo Fluent del software ANSYS fue utilizado para la simulación por el método FEM. Para los colectores se utilizó una tubería de 7 mm de diámetro interno, con un espesor de placa de 11 mm y de aluminio. Se consideró temperatura ambiente de 20 °C, con una radiación solar de 1000 W·m-2 y superficies de transferencia de calor 61 250 y 122 500 mm2 para el colector triangular y cuadrado, respectivamente. La calidad del mallado fue excelente, alcanzando skewness de 0.2486. De esta manera, luego del proceso de simulación se obtuvo eficiencias de 62 y 39 % y temperaturas máximas de 27 y 25.5 °C para el colector triangular y cuadrado, respectivamente. Debido a que las geometrías actúan como aletas, las temperaturas son más altas en las esquinas y por esto no es posible alcanzar mayor eficiencia.

Resumo Introdução: O médico de família desenvolve uma abordagem centrada na pessoa, orientada para o indivíduo, a família e a comunidade em que se insere, sendo a empatia a chave-mestra desta relação. Objetivos: Compreender a relação médico-doente no contexto dos cuidados de saúde primários (CSP) do Nordeste Transmontano. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo com uma amostra de utentes de CSP. Os dados demográficos (sexo biológico - classificação binária, idade, concelho de residência e escolaridade), perguntas acerca da perceção dos CSP e a aplicação da Escala de Empatia de Jefferson (JSPPPE-VP) foram recolhidos através de uma plataforma online, recorrendo à divulgação pelas redes sociais, e em formato físico nos CSP da Unidade Local de Saúde do Nordeste. A análise estatística descritiva foi realizada com recurso ao software IBM SPSS® Statistics. Resultados: A amostra incluiu 584 indivíduos (idade mediana: 45 anos), maioritariamente mulheres (67,47%), com um nível de escolaridade não graduado (57,71%). A maioria dos inquiridos (75,51%) revela que o seu médico de família é a primeira pessoa a quem recorrem quando têm um problema de saúde, considerando que este tem as capacidades necessárias para a melhor orientação dos seus problemas de saúde (69,52%). Relativamente à acessibilidade, 61,30% e 60,96% considera, respetivamente, que o acesso à marcação de consulta e esclarecimento de dúvidas pontuais é fácil. Dos inquiridos, 22,95% discorda do tempo médio de consulta praticado (20 minutos), defendendo uma duração de 30 minutos. Quando aplicada a JSPPPE-VP, cerca de 50,00% dos indivíduos responderam que estão bastante ou totalmente de acordo com as afirmações que se encontram ao longo de toda a escala. Conclusões: A amostra obtida revela uma satisfação global relativamente à prestação, acessibilidade e qualidade dos serviços, bem como à duração da consulta. Além disso, pode-se concluir que existe uma elevada satisfação com a empatia do médico de família.

Abstract Introduction: The family doctor develops a person-centered approach, oriented toward the individual, the family, and the community in which he is inserted, with empathy being the major key to this relationship. Objectives: Understand the doctor-patient relationship in the context of primary health care (PHC) in the Northeast of Portugal. Methods: A descriptive study was carried out with a sample of PHC. Demographic data (biological sex-binary classification, age, county of residence, and education), questions about the perception of PHC, and the application of the Jefferson Empathy Scale (JSPPPE-VP) were collected through an online platform with the dissemination of information through social media and physical format in PHC of the Unidade Local de Saúde do Nordeste. Descriptive statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS® Statistics software. Results: The sample consisted of 584 individuals (median age: 45 years old), mostly women (67.47%), with an undergraduate level of education (57.71%). Most people (75.51%) say that their family doctor is the first person that they turn to when they have a health problem because they believe he has the necessary skills to better manage their health problems (69.52%). In terms of accessibility, 61.30% and 60.96% respectively consider that it is easy to get an appointment and to clarify specific doubts. Of the respondents, 22.95% did not agree with the average duration of consultations (20 minutes), preferring 30 minutes. When the JSPPE-VP was applied, approximately 50.00% of the respondents indicated that they strongly or completely agreed with all the items evaluated. Conclusions: The sample obtained showed overall satisfaction with the provision, accessibility, and quality of services, as well as the duration of the consultation. It can also be concluded that there is a high level of satisfaction with the empathy of the family doctor.

RESUMEN Introducción: la evaluación es la categoría reguladora del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje y uno de los aspectos más polémicos y de mayor interés en la práctica pedagógica. Objetivo: determinar la calidad de un instrumento de evaluación de la asignatura: Medicina General Integral en la carrera de Medicina.

ABSTRACT Introduction: evaluation is the regulatory category of the teaching-learning process and one of the most controversial and interesting aspects in pedagogical practice. Objective: to determine the quality of an evaluation instrument for the subject: General Comprehensive Medicine in the Medicine course. Methods: a transversal descriptive study was carried out in the framework of medical education, to determine the quality of the examination of the subject Integral General Medicine in the School of Medical Sciences "Mariana Grajales Coello" of Holguin, in the 2023 course. A random sample was selected (n = 48). The type of difficulty and discrimination coefficient of the biserial point were calculated in the Excel spreadsheet software for Windows XP. The reliability of the questions and the exam was obtained by calculating Cronbach's Alpha in the Epidat 4.1 program. Results: the items on health prevention, traditional natural medicine and communicable diseases predominated, with a lack of correspondence between these and the time fund according to the calendar plan. Most of the topics presented easy difficulty and the exam presented medium-easy difficulty, in correspondence with a predominance of questions with low discriminating power and question number seven affected the internal consistency, which was generally acceptable. Conclusions: the exam did not present a balanced difficulty, in correspondence with a mostly poor discrimination and the internal consistency was acceptable.
