Abstract Research that goals to recognize and evaluate the behaviors of Syndrome of teachers from the Industrial Engineering department of a Higher Education Institution. The problem was identified that there were no prior evaluations to identify opportunities for improvement in mental health and the work environment of the teaching staff. A questionnaire based on Maslach, et. al; (1986) and Seisdedos, (1997), which is designed with 22 items, for the Burnout syndrome variable, which measures 3 sub variables: emotional exhaustion (9 items), depersonalization (5 items) and personal fulfillment (8 items), which They respond to a six-point Likert-type scale. The study was quantitative of a descriptive cross-sectional type (Hernández, et. al; 2010). For application to a sample of n=31 teachers. It was found that the subscale with the lowest value is: Personal fulfillment (37.35) and the behaviors with the highest priority to address are: I deal very well with the problems that my students present to me = 4.03 (Maslach, et. al; 1986), I can easily understand what my students think = 4.23 (Maslach, et. al; 1986) and I find myself with a lot of vitality = 4.55 (Maslach, et. al; 1986). The institution will carry out an analysis of the behaviors and causes to prevent and a proposal for the improvement of the studied indices.

Se aplicó un cuestionario basado en Maslach, et. al; (1986) y Seisdedos, (1997) que está diseñado con 22 ítems, para la variable síndrome de Burnout, que mide 3 subvariables: agotamiento emocional (9 ítems), despersonalización (5 ítems) y Realización personal (8 ítems), los cuales responden a una escala tipo Likert de seis puntos. El estudio fue cuantitativo de tipo descriptivo transversal (Hernández, et. al; 2010). Para la aplicación a una muestra de n=31 docentes. Se encontró que la subescala con menor valor es: Realización personal (37.35) y los comportamientos con más prioridad a atender son: Me enfrento muy bien con los problemas que me presentan mis alumnos = 4.03 (Maslach, et. al; 1986), Puedo entender con facilidad lo que piensan mis alumnos = 4.23 (Maslach, et. al; 1986) y Me encuentro con mucha vitalidad = 4.55 (Maslach, et. al; 1986). La institución realizará un análisis de los comportamientos y causas para prevenir y una propuesta para la mejora de los índices estudiados.

RESUMEN En el presente artículo se plantea exponer la difícil situación legal de la privación de libertad y los traslados a distintos centros de privación de libertad. Para ello, es necesario verificar las teorías de la pena que nuestro ordenamiento jurídico pretende seguir, lo que permitirá saber las razones de la normativa expedida en materia de garantías penitenciarias. Así también, conocer el estado normativo de los traslados y su relación inmediata con el hábeas corpus. Camino que se pretende seguir entre la supuesta desnaturalización de garantías jurisdiccionales y la ausencia de un control judicial. De igual forma, plantear la relación que existe sobre los traslados y otros conflictos carcelarios como el hacinamiento, la violencia, la falta de personal penitenciario y que tiene incidencia en varios derechos constitucionales como la unidad familiar, derecho a la defensa, entre otros. Finalmente, se buscan posibles salidas a la problemática que acarrean los traslados de personas privadas de libertad, de manera especial sobre la contradicción entre el art. 668.2 del Código Orgánico Integral Penal que impide realizar traslados a través de una garantía jurisdiccional y la sentencia de la Corte Constitucional n.º 365-18-JH/21 y acumulados (Integridad personal de personas privadas de libertad) que habilita la posibilidad de realizarlo en casos de afectación al derecho a la integridad personal.

ABSTRACT I plan to expose the difficult legal situation of deprivation of liberty and transfers to different deprivation of liberty centers. To do this, it is necessary to verify the theories of punishment that our legal system intends to follow, which will allow us to know the reasons for the regulations issued regarding penitentiary guarantees. Likewise, know the regulatory status of transfers and their immediate relationship with habeas corpus. The path that is intended to be followed between the supposed denaturalization of jurisdictional guarantees and the absence of judicial control. Likewise, raise the relationship that exists on transfers and other prison conflicts such as overcrowding, violence and lack of prison staff and that has an impact on several constitutional rights such as family unity, the right to defense, among others. Finally, possible solutions are sought to the problems caused by the transfers of people deprived of liberty, especially on the contradiction between article 668.2 of the COIP that prevents transfers through a jurisdictional guarantee and the sentence of the Court Constitutional n.º 365-18-JH/21 and accumulated (Personal integrity of persons deprived of liberty) that enables the possibility of carrying it out in cases of impact on the right to personal integrity.

Abstract The mental health for workers in healthcare was affected by the overload derived from care for COVID-19 patients. It is recognized that there was no knowledge about the disease or labor systems prepared to deal with the pandemic. Mental health problems among of a group of eight nursing workers (6 women and 2 men) employed at a state health institution was addressed through a mutual help group created as an emotional support network. The information co-created by the group across 10 sessions was analyzed through narratives using a relativistic approach, with the thematic axes of emotional discomfort in the face of uncertainties and aggressions; need to be and moral dilemmas; courage to overcome institutional disorganization; emotional overload and the recovery of strategies and resources. The implications of the process narrated by the group resulted in an effective strategy for improving the mental health of the participants and the need to have virtual services to cope with needs or circumstances such as those triggered by a pandemic as well as the strength of the group process are discussed.

Resumen La salud mental del personal sanitario quedó afectada ante la sobrecarga derivada de la atención a pacientes por COVID-19. Se entiende que no había conocimientos sobre la enfermedad ni sistemas laborales preparados para atender la pandemia. La problemática de salud mental de un grupo de 8 profesionales de enfermería (6 mujeres y 2 hombres), laborando en una institución de salud estatal, fue atendida a través de un grupo de ayuda mutua creado como dispositivo de contención emocional. Se analiza la información co-creada por el proceso grupal de 10 sesiones a través de las narrativas desde un enfoque relativista, con los ejes temáticos del malestar emocional ante las incertidumbres y las agresiones; el deber ser y las disyuntivas morales; el coraje impulsor ante la desorganización institucional, la sobrecarga emocional y la recuperación de estrategias y recursos. Se discuten las implicaciones del proceso narrado por el grupo constituido como una estrategia efectiva para la mejora en la salud mental de los participantes y la necesidad de tener dispositivos virtuales ante necesidades o circunstancias como las detonadas por una pandemia, así como la fortaleza del proceso grupal.

Resumo: A compreensão dos princípios de inclusão e diversidade é um processo dialógico e recursivo que os sujeitos constroem e reconstroem ao longo de suas trajetórias de vida. Os dissensos críticos sobre inclusão são entendidos a partir das relações de alteridade, vista como um processo interpelativo. Por sua vez, a diversidade é entendida como um processo de reconhecimento das diferenças e diversidades dos sujeitos. O objetivo da pesquisa é desvendar a configuração de significado em relação à inclusão e à diversidade a partir dos discursos ativos do corpo acadêmico que forma educadores com base nas experiências vividas. A pesquisa foi enquadrada em um paradigma interpretativo de natureza qualitativa, com um delineamento fenomenológico hermenêutico. Foi utilizada uma amostra de conveniência de dez participantes e foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os participantes configuram o significado de inclusão e diversidade como um espaço multifatorial para a expressão da singularidade, no qual o corpo acadêmico e os estudantes podem expressar sua diversidade como elemento enriquecedor do processo educacional. Isso ocorre por meio da construção de experiências formativas que respondem a um desenho universal de ensino e aprendizagem

Resumen: La comprensión de los principios de inclusión y diversidad es un proceso dialógico y recursivo que los sujetos construyen y reconstruyen a lo largo de su trayectoria de vida. Los disensos críticos de inclusión la comprenden desde las relaciones de alteridad, mirada como un proceso interpelativo. A su vez, la diversidad es comprendida como un proceso de reconocimiento de las diferencias y diversidades de los sujetos. El objetivo de la investigación es develar la configuración de significado respecto a la inclusión y diversidad desde los discursos activos del cuerpo académico que forma educadores desde las experiencias vividas. La investigación se enmarcó en un paradigma interpretativo de naturaleza cualitativa, con un diseño fenomenológico hermenéutico. Se utilizó una muestra por conveniencia de diez participantes a los que se les realizó una entrevista semiestructurada. Los participantes configuran el significado de inclusión y diversidad como un espacio multifactorial para la expresión de la singularidad, en la que el cuerpo académico y el estudiantado pueden expresar su diversidad como elemento enriquecedor del proceso educativo. Esto se produce por la construcción de experiencias formativas que responden a un diseño universal de la enseñanza y del aprendizaje

Abstract: The understanding of the principles of inclusion and diversity is a dialogic and recursive process that individuals construct and reconstruct throughout their life journey. Critical perspectives on inclusion view it through the lens of otherness, seeing it as an interpellative process. Similarly, diversity is understood as the recognition of differences and diversities among individuals. The aim of this research is to uncover how the meaning of inclusion and diversity is configured through the active discourses of higher education faculty who train educators, drawing from their lived experiences. The study is framed within an interpretive, qualitative paradigm, using a hermeneutic-phenomenological design. A convenience sample of ten participants was selected, each of whom participated in a semi-structured interview. The participants define inclusion and diversity as a multifactorial space for the expression of individuality, where both faculty and students can express their diversity as an enriching element of the educational process. This occurs through the creation of formative experiences that align with a universal design for teaching and learning

Abstract Background: During the 19th century, the economic transformations caused by the Industrial Revolution led to a rise in pauperism among vulnerable populations. This phenomenon negatively impacted the health of these populations. Objective: To conduct a historiographical review of Concepción Arenal’s thinking from a nursing perspective. Methodology: This social, historical, and qualitative research focused on the delivery of holistic nursing care to vulnerable individuals based on Concepción Arenal’s social thinking. Data were collected from both primary and secondary sources. Results: Arenal’s book ‘‘La beneficencia, la filantropía y la caridad’’ advocated for the delivery of nursing care at home. To oppose the repulsion caused by hospitals and nursing staff in the 19th century, Arenal supported that nursing care should be carried out by well-educated and trained professional nurses. Conclusion: Arenal was a highly accomplished woman in the field of law. Currently, her ideas are gaining traction within the field of health, particularly in the areas of social and community health.

Resumo Enquadramento: A transformação económica provocada pela revolução industrial, originou inúmeros avanços no campo da tecnologia, no entanto, a nível sociológico determinou a emergência do pauperismo entre as pessoas vulneráveis, deteriorando a sua saúde. Objetivo: Efetuar uma revisão histórica sobre o pensamento de Concepción Arenal a partir da perspetiva da enfermagem. Metodologia: Estudo social, histórico e qualitativo com foco na provisão de cuidados de enfermagem holísticos baseados no pensamento social de Concepción Arenal. Os dados foram recolhidos em fontes primárias e secundárias. Resultados: O seu livro ‘‘La beneficencia, la filantropía y la caridad’’ constitui-se como uma defesa empenhada dos cuidados ao paciente em casa. Arenal defende que esses cuidados deveriam ser realizados por enfermeiros profissionais bem treinados de modo evitar a aversão causada pelos hospitais e pessoal de enfermagem na época. Conclusão: Arenal foi uma mulher de grande sucesso na sua área do direito. Atualmente, as suas ideias e contributo estão a ganhar relelvância no campo da saúde, particularmente nas áreas da saúde social e comunitária.

Resumen Marco contextual: Durante el siglo XIX, la transformación económica derivada de la revolución industrial provocó el pauperismo en las personas vulnerables, hecho que les deterioró su salud. Objetivo: Revisar historiográficamente el pensamiento de Concepción Arenal Ponte, desde una perspectiva enfermera. Metodología: Investigación social, histórica y cualitativa, relacionada con los cuidados de enfermería proporcionados de una forma holística a la persona vulnerable, a través del pensamiento social de Concepción Arenal. Recopilación de información: en fuentes primarias y secundarias. Resultados: Su obra ‘‘La beneficencia, la filantropía y la caridad’’ es una defensa cerrada del cuidado del paciente en su domicilio. Y para evitar la repulsa que, por entonces, causaban los hospitales y el personal de enfermería, Arenal defendió que dicho cuidado fuese realizado por enfermeras profesionales bien formadas y entrenadas.

Este estudio exploró las perspectivas de los profesionales de la salud sobre la presencia familiar durante la atención de un paro cardiopulmonar (PCA) en adultos. Se empleó un diseño observacional transversal, siguiendo las pautas de Fortalecimiento de la Notificación de Estudios Observacionales en Epidemiología (STROBE). Los datos fueron recolectados a través de un formulario electrónico utilizando un método de muestreo no probabilístico, resultando en 221 formularios completados para su análisis. Se encontraron asociaciones significativas entre las perspectivas de los participantes sobre la presencia familiar y sus características demográficas. Los profesionales mayores de 40 años demostraron una mayor prevalencia de aceptación de la presencia familiar (p lt; 0,01). Por el contrario, los profesionales más jóvenes (menores de 40 años) expresaron su preocupación por el posible impacto negativo en la prestación de atención (p = 0,02). La experiencia con presencia familiar fue reportada con mayor frecuencia entre aquellos con 10 o menos años de experiencia profesional (p lt;0,01). Además, los profesionales con más de 20 años de experiencia tenían más probabilidades de creer que la presencia familiar podría alterar la concentración del personal (p = 0,02). Los hallazgos sugieren una tendencia entre los participantes a ver la presencia familiar de manera negativa, a pesar de su potencial para ayudar a las familias a afrontar la pérdida y el dolor. Esta cuestión merece una mayor investigación y discusión.

This study explored healthcare professionals’ perspectives on family presence during adult cardiopulmonary arrest (CPA) care. An observational, cross-sectional design was employed, adhering to the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. Data were collected through an electronic form using a nonprobabilistic sampling method, resulting in 221 completed forms for analysis. Significant associations were found between participants’ perspectives on family presence and their demographic characteristics. Professionals aged over 40 demonstrated a higher prevalence of accepting family presence (p lt; 0.01). Conversely, younger professionals (under 40) expressed concerns about the potential negative impact on care delivery (p = 0.02). Experience with family presence was more commonly reported among those with 10 or fewer years of professional experience (p lt; 0.01). Additionally, professionals with over 20 years of experience were more likely to believe that family presence could disrupt staff concentration (p = 0.02). The findings suggest a tendency among participants to view family presence negatively, despite its potential to help families cope with loss and grief. This issue warrants further investigation and discussion.

Este estudo explorou as perspectivas dos profissionais de saúde sobre a presença da família durante o atendimento à parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR) em adultos. Foi empregado um desenho observacional e transversal, seguindo as diretrizes do Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE). Os dados foram coletados por meio de formulário eletrônico, utilizando método de amostragem não probabilística, resultando em 221 formulários preenchidos para análise. Foram encontradas associações significativas entre as perspectivas dos participantes sobre a presença familiar e suas características demográficas. Profissionais com idade superior a 40 anos demonstraram maior prevalência de aceitação da presença familiar (p lt; 0,01). Por outro lado, os profissionais mais jovens (menos de 40 anos) expressaram preocupações sobre o potencial impacto negativo na prestação de cuidados (p = 0,02). A experiência com a presença familiar foi mais relatada entre aqueles com 10 ou menos anos de experiência profissional (p lt; 0,01). Além disso, profissionais com mais de 20 anos de experiência tiveram maior probabilidade de acreditar que a presença da família poderia atrapalhar a concentração da equipe (p = 0,02). Os resultados sugerem uma tendência entre os participantes de verem a presença familiar de forma negativa, apesar do seu potencial para ajudar as famílias a lidar com a perda e o luto. Esta questão merece mais investigação e discussão.

Abstract: This research aims to analyze the configuration, distribution, and equity of nursing human resources in Sichuan Province, China, providing a reference for the future development of nursing care in the region. A descriptive analysis was conducted to describe the configuration of nursing human resources in 2010, 2015, and 2020. The Lorenz curve, Gini coefficient, health resource density index, and distribution density maps were used as resources and methodology to evaluate the changes and equity in the configuration of nursing human resources. The result of this research determined that the nurse-to-population ratio was 1.17, 2.09, and 3.42 in 2010, 2015, and 2020, and nursing staff accounted for 24%, 49%, and 35% of technical health personnel. The nurse-to-physician ratio was 1:0.72, 1:1.05, and 1:1.22 in the three years. The Gini coefficients of nursing resource allocation for permanent population and area were 0.24, 0.20, and 0.12 and 0.74, 0.72, and 0.72, respectively. The nursing resource density index was 0.50, 0.91, and 1.42, respectively. In conclusion, the study shows that the equity of nursing resources based on population increased, while the equity based on region still showed disparity, with a sustained increase in nursing human resource density from 2010 to 2020. However, it is necessary to continue increasing the number of nurses and improving the geographical accessibility of nursing care.

Resumen: Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la configuración, distribución y equidad de los recursos humanos de enfermería en la provincia de Sichuan, China, proporcionando una referencia para el desarrollo futuro de la atención de enfermería en la región. Se realizó un análisis descriptivo para detallar la configuración de los recursos humanos de enfermería durante 2010, 2015 y 2020. Para evaluar los cambios y la equidad en la configuración de los recursos humanos de enfermería se utilizó como recurso metodológico la curva de Lorenz, el coeficiente de Gini, el índice de densidad de recursos de salud y los mapas de densidad de distribución. El resultado de esta investigación determinó que la relación enfermera-población fue de 1,17, 2,09 y 3,42 en 2010, 2015 y 2020, y el personal de enfermería representó el 24%, 49% y 35% del personal técnico de salud. La relación enfermera-médico fue de 1:0,72, 1:1,05 y 1:1,22 en los tres años. Los coeficientes de Gini de asignación de recursos de enfermería para población permanente y área fueron 0,24, 0,20 y 0,12 y 0,74, 0,72 y 0,72, respectivamente. El índice de densidad de recursos de enfermería fue 0,50, 0,91 y 1,42, respectivamente. En conclusión, el estudio muestra que la equidad de los recursos de enfermería en función de la población aumentó, mientras que la equidad en función de la región mostró disparidad, con un aumento sostenido en la densidad de recursos humanos de enfermería desde 2010 a 2020. Sin embargo, es necesario seguir aumentando el número de enfermeras y mejorando la accesibilidad geográfica de la atención de enfermería.

O índice de densidade de recursos de enfermagem foi 0,50, 0,91 e 1,42, respectivamente. Conclusão: O estudo mostra que a equidade de recursos de enfermagem com base na população aumentou enquanto a equidade com base na região ainda apresentava disparidade, com um contínuo aumento na densidade de recursos humanos de enfermagem ao longo dos anos de 2010 a 2020. Todavia, há necessidade de continuar aumentando o número de enfermeiros e melhorar a acessibilidade a cuidados de enfermagem.

This article focuses on academic staff development in higher education in South Africa. It emphasises the importance of locating academics within the broader racialised contexts and history of the country. Recognising the complexities of social academic exclusion in relation to academics working across the sector in diverse universities, the article argues that academic staff development programmes which provide formulaic interventions are far less likely to have a long term impact on the individual and the sector. The social and academic legacies of racial segregation continue to permeate the professional experiences of marginalised academics, the support they receive for their career aspirations, and the recognition (without acknowledgement) of institutional and systemic barriers to their success (Breetzke and Hedding 2018; Khunou 2018; Hlengwa 2019). The literature is replete with references to humanising pedagogies for students yet is overwhelmingly silent on the impact on the academic or aspirant academic. For transformation initiatives to have an impact, there is clearly a need to humanise the participants in academic development processes. What this implies is a full appreciation of the fact that academics enter universities with histories and experiences that inflect their work is central to the success of the transformation project. Thie article is premised on social justice which informs an understanding of transformation as the empowerment of academics through academic staff development programmes. Predicated on Sen's "capability" approach, the article argues that academic development in the context of South Africa cannot afford to ignore the fractured history of the country.

Universities have historically had ableist leanings that exclude people with disabilities. Yet, people with disabilities have a right to attend institutions of higher education, as does everyone else. What is called for is that institutions transform towards disability inclusion. The purpose of this article is to use the case study of research conducted at University of Cape Town (UCT) to suggest strategies for disability inclusion in institutions of higher education. The research question was: What does research carried out at UCT on disability inclusion related to staff, students, and curriculum tell us about strategies that have been used to achieve inclusion, the effectiveness of these strategies and what recommendations can be made for increasing the level of disability inclusion and equity at UCT? A scoping review of the literature on disability inclusion at UCT was conducted. Selected literature was thematically analysed based on the research question and aligned to the strategic goals of UCT. Four emergent themes are presented: including disability in the decolonial discourse, collaborating to enhance disability inclusion, enhancing disability inclusive social responsiveness, and other strategies to enhance systemic change towards disability inclusion. UCT has made significant strides to include students with disabilities, yet there is much still to be achieved. Disability inclusion in institutions of higher learning is not only about ensuring accessibility, but is also about addressing how disability is understood and how it is included in the curriculum.

Abstract Storytelling as a method for knowledge production has long been introduced and adopted in legal settings, particularly by critical legal scholars. The contributions of the method have been acknowledged, but it has also been criticized. The present paper is interested in one criticism: the idea that the verifiability of personal stories is impossible and, hence, that storytelling-based legal arguments are unacceptable or weak. This paper does not offer one final answer to this criticism, but it provisionally suggests that, if storytelling-based legal arguments are analyzed in a holistic manner, we can see that even if the stories that, at their core, cannot be verified- or, in the limit, even if they are not true -the broader social claims that derive from them and that anchor the legal argument, can - and should. settings scholars acknowledged criticized criticism hence storytellingbased storytelling based weak manner core verified limit argument should

Resumo Storytelling como método de produção de conhecimento há muito tempo foi introduzido e adotado em ambientes jurídicos, particularmente por estudiosos críticos. As contribuições do método foram reconhecidas, mas o método também foi muito criticado. O presente artigo se interessa por uma crítica: a ideia de que a verificabilidade de histórias pessoais é impossível e, portanto, de que os argumentos jurídicos baseados em storytelling são inaceitáveis ou fracos. Este artigo não oferece uma resposta final a essa crítica, mas sugere provisoriamente que, se os argumentos jurídicos baseados em storytelling forem analisados de maneira holística, podemos ver que, mesmo que as histórias que, em seu cerne, não possam ser verificadas - ou, no limite, ainda que não sejam verdadeiras - as reivindicações sociais mais amplas que delas derivam e que ancoram a argumentação jurídica, podem - e devem. críticos reconhecidas criticado crítica portanto fracos holística cerne limite jurídica devem

Abstract: This article reports a study documenting managerial leadership within the schoolwork in tele-secondary institutions during the Covid-19 pandemic. The approach was qualitative with case study support. An exploratory stage was carried out, with the participation of management and teaching staff from the State of Veracruz, Mexico, and another in-depth stage, which resulted in the selection of two cases. The analysis presented focuses on a school principal and the center where he works; with the support of Atlas.ti, three categories were defined: teacher well-being, closeness to the students and professional learning community. The results show that what prevailed was the physical, labor and emotional well-being of teachers; the search for permanence and learning of the students, as well as the constitution of a professional learning community. We recognized that the possibility of innovation in education emerged, even amidst the health crisis.

Resumen: Este artículo presenta un estudio que documenta el liderazgo directivo dentro del trabajo escolar en telesecundaria durante la pandemia por covid-19. El enfoque fue cualitativo con apoyo en el estudio de casos. Se desarrolló una etapa exploratoria, con participación de personal directivo y docente de Veracruz, México, y otra de profundización, que permitió la selección de dos casos. El análisis presentado se enfoca en un director y la escuela donde labora; con apoyo en Atlas.ti, se definieron tres categorías: bienestar docente, cercanía con el alumnado y comunidad profesional de aprendizaje. Los resultados muestran el cuidado del bienestar físico, laboral y emocional docente; se procuró la permanencia y los aprendizajes del alumnado, así como la constitución de una comunidad profesional de aprendizaje. Se reconoció que, en medio de la crisis sanitaria, germinó la posibilidad de innovar en la educación.

Abstract: As a result of the 50th anniversary of Folia Histórica del Nordeste, a journal founded in 1974, the main geographical contributions developed by the staff of the “Gabinete de Geografía” and, later, the Instituto de Geografía of the Facultad de Humanidades of the Universidad Nacional del Nordeste, and by other colleagues from other Geography institutes of the country, are explored. Using a historical approach, the scientific articles published decade by decade are examined. From this corpus, the main approaches and problems that interested geographers from 1970 to 2019 are analyzed, highlighting the latest changes arising from the rich interdisciplinary crossroads with the fields of History, Economics, Anthropology, Urbanism, among others.

Resumen: A raíz del 50 aniversario de Folia Histórica del Nordeste, revista fundada en 1974, se exploran los principales aportes geográficos desarrollados por el personal del “Gabinete de Geografía” y, posterior, Instituto de Geografía de la Facultad de Humanidades de la Universidad Nacional del Nordeste, y por otros colegas procedentes de otros institutos de Geografía del país. Apelando a un abordaje histórico, se examinan los artículos científicos publicados década por década. A partir de ese corpus, se analizan los principales enfoques y problemas que interesaron a geógrafos desde la 1970 hasta 2019, destacando los últimas cambios surgidos a partir del rico cruce interdisciplinario con el campo de la Historia, la Economía, la Antropología, el Urbanismo, entre otros.

INTRODUCTION: The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted dental education and resulted in unprecedented curricular changes. While virtual teaching enabled theoretical content delivery, practical training was temporarily postponed. Upon resumption, innovative approaches were required to safeguard students, staff and patients. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of COVID-19's impact on dental education at a South African institution. The objectives were to explore the resultant changes, staff and students' experiences in adapting to the implemented changes, the opportunities for innovation and growth that emerged in response to the pandemic, and the potential long-term implications of these changes for dental education. METHODS: A qualitative study was conducted. The 2021 and 2022 final year Dental Therapy students were invited to participate in separate, virtual focus group discussions. In 2022, all 12 academic staff members were invited to participate in individual interviews. Among others, participants responded to structured questions regarding pandemic-related changes and how they adapted. Data were audio-recorded with consent, transcribed verbatim and thematically analysed. RESULTS: Study participants included eight staff members and two groups of six students. Four pandemic-related themes were identified, namely the sudden shift to online learning and virtual communication, safety protocols, students' wellbeing and long-term implications. Among other findings, home-based learning posed opportunities and challenges for students. Furthermore, the 2021 cohort reported concerns regarding limited clinical training. CONCLUSION: The knowledge acquired by institutions during the pandemic must serve as a foundation for future curricular disruptions.

BACKGROUND: Most newly diagnosed children with cancer live in low-and middle-income countries (LMIC) where challenges in access to diagnosis and treatment cause low survival rates OBJECTIVE: To explore factors affecting delays in accessing paediatric oncology care at seven partner hospitals in LMIC (Malawi, Kenya, Tanzania and Kosovo) and one partner hospital in a high-income country (the Netherlands). Delays at community, primary/secondary and tertiary care levels are explored METHODS: Leaders of paediatric oncology un its from all eight partner hospitals were interviewed using self-administered structured questionnaires in July and August 2023 RESULTS: Differences in diagnostics and treatment availability were observed between Dutch and LMIC settings. At the community level, all respondents acknowledged that parents' inability to recognise cancer symptoms can lead to delays. Additional factors in LMICs included financial constraints, health beliefs and traditional medicine usage. At the primary/secondary care levels, all respondents acknowledged that misdiagnosis often delays referrals for children with suspected cancer. LMIC respondents also mentioned staff shortages and lack of health insurance. At the tertiary care level, only LMIC respondents reported delays, citing limited diagnostic or treatment modalities and a shortage of experienced staff. Across all settings, diagnosis delays were longer than treatment delays, with patient delays exceeding doctor delays, as noted by seven respondents. These factors contribute to low childhood cancer survival in LMICs CONCLUSION: Delays at all levels hinder prompt access to paediatric oncology care in LMICs. A multi-factorial approach is needed to assure timely access and improve survival
