The training of Chemistry teachers in Brazil has been researched for a few decades and studies point out to training gaps that reverberate in teaching, especially in basic education. One of the contents covered in this step and which is part of the high school curriculum is radioactivity, which is related, among other things, to radiological and radioactive accidents that occur around the world. Thus, this research sought to investigate how the training provided to Chemistry undergraduates in the state of Goiás is in relation to the subject of radioactivity, since in 1987 a radiological accident occurred in Goiânia with a Cesium 137 source. This is a qualitative research, data were collected via questionnaire and the analytical technique used was discursive textual analysis (ATD). The results showed that due importance was not given to the radiological accident, since there is evidence of training gaps in relation to the topic of radioactivity in Chemistry degree courses in the state of Goiás, where the accident occurred, and the contents on radioactivity are either not addressed, or the approach is superficial. This fact directly impacts the teacher’s performance in basic education, when working on this content with their students. teaching education related things world Thus 198 13 source ATD. ATD .

Abstract Introduction: Health care involves cultural aspects that must be known to benefit people from the Nursing care provided. Objective: To describe the use of Ethnonursing as a research design and Madeleine Leininger’s Theory of Culture Care in the Nursing literature. Methods: n integrative review was carried out following the phases proposed by Withmoore and Knalf. The bibliographic search was conducted in Medline, Cuiden Plus, Lilacs, Scopus and ScienceDirect. The “qualitative research”, “nursing”, “culturally competent health care” and “transcultural nursing” descriptors were used in English, Spanish and Portuguese, including original articles published between 2013 and 2023. Results: A total of 12 articles were chosen and coded to give rise to four categories, namely: need for training in Ethnonursing and in the Theory of Culture Care; recognition of the cultural context and of barriers to culturally congruent care; culture care diversity and universality; and actions for culturally congruent care. Conclusions: The review allowed recognizing that the Theory of Culture Care and Ethnonursing have been scarcely used in the scientific and professional Nursing practice. It is necessary to encourage professionals to value due respect for different cultures in health services.

Abstract Barriers to compare opposed or alternative scientific theories exist, based on diverse premises. One is the concept of incommensurability, the idea suggesting that different paradigms or theories cannot be contrasted since they do not share common tenets. This paper proposes the use of nested models for testing the efficacy of isolated disciplinary explanations of psychological and social problems versus the power of interdisciplinary explanations. According to this approach, such nested models would include alternative disciplinary theories competing against each other and against an inclusive model that combines these unidisciplinary explanations. This situation is illustrated with an empirical study using a questionnaire on predictors of precautionary behaviors against COVID-19. Data was analyzed using structural equations, considering a psychological and a health-science perspective, and integrated into an interdisciplinary model. Results from this study showed that the best model was the interdisciplinary model, thus providing some evidence for the use of nested models as a method to integrate different disciplines. The advantages of this approach are discussed in the face of the growing, complex, and serious problems that humanity is nowadays experiencing.

Resumen Basadas en diversas premisas, existen barreras para comparar teorías científicas opuestas o alternativas. El concepto de inconmensurabilidad es una de estas dificultades, la idea que sugiere que diferentes paradigmas o teorías no pueden contrastarse porque no comparten principios comunes. Este artículo propone el uso de modelos anidados para probar la eficacia de explicaciones disciplinarias aisladas de problemas psicológicos y sociales en comparación con la de explicaciones interdisciplinarias. Según este enfoque, tales modelos anidados incluirían teorías disciplinarias alternativas que compiten entre sí y contra un modelo inclusivo que combine estas explicaciones unidisciplinarias. Esta situación se ilustra con un estudio empírico sobre predictores de conductas de precaución frente al COVID-19. Los resultados fueron analizados mediante ecuaciones estructurales, considerando una perspectiva psicológica y de ciencias de la salud, e integrados en un modelo interdisciplinario. Los hallazgos mostraron que era mejor el modelo interdisciplinario, proporcionando evidencia para el uso de modelos anidados como método para integrar diferentes disciplinas. Se discuten las ventajas de utilizar este enfoque frente a los crecientes, complejos y graves problemas que vive hoy la humanidad.

Abstract Introduction: Vascular and neuropathic complications of diabetes cause diabetic foot, being the main risk factor for non-traumatic amputations. Objective: To analyze the available scientific evidence on lifestyle and self-care of patients at risk of diabetic foot. Methodology: Literature review using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses methodology; published in EBSCO host, Google academic, PubMed, Scielo and Elsevier; in English and Spanish from 2016 to 2022. Nursing articles were included, mentioning two or more variables of interest: diabetes mellitus, lifestyle, diabetic foot, and self-care; duplicates, no access, and gray literature were eliminated. From a total of 1,080 articles, 14 were included that met the inclusion criteria. Checklists were used to assess the quality of the manuscripts used. Results: Systematic reviews, observational, experimental and qualitative studies showed evidence that self-care can be influenced by culture, context and knowledge deficit, being this a risk factor for the development of diabetic foot. An association was found between the risk of diabetic foot with years of diagnosis, inadequate self-care of the feet and advanced age. Conclusion: The association between the self-care deficit and the risk of diabetic foot in the elderly was evidenced. It is recommended to broaden the search and include people under 40 years of age in order to establish effective preventive measures and reduce the risk of diabetic foot.

Remote areas that lack conventional water-provisioning infrastructure often rely on rainwater harvesting, rivers, pans, reservoirs and borehole-extracted water to meet domestic water requirements. These water sources often have poor microbial quality and chemical composition, the quality of which is not routinely monitored. This study explored citizen science as a tool for Engaged Research and Responsible Research and Innovation, detailing the co-creation of a sustained community-based water quality monitoring program in collaboration with communities in villages in Amakhala Game Reserve (Eastern Cape, South Africa). Without access to other water sources, participants predominantly used rainwater for drinking and cooking (80%), while borehole water was mainly used for cleaning and gardening due to its salty or bitter taste. A hydrogen sulfide (H2S) water testing kit was used by the citizen scientists to monitor the water quality. The H2S kits were effective in estimating bacterial contamination, showing a proportional relationship with Colilert® test results conducted in a laboratory. The alignment observed between community-based monitoring results and those derived from scientist-led testing underscores the value of data produced through citizen science initiatives. Sustained participant engagement throughout this research reflected a sense of community empowerment through access to tools that inform their decision-making around water use and treatment as well as investment in the research, indicative of the perceived relevance of the research to community interests. This integration of transdisciplinary data sources holds promise for informing evidence-based decision-making processes, facilitating more effective and contextually informed water management strategies that value and integrate community perspectives alongside scientific insights. SIGNIFICANCE: Drawing on the principles of Engaged Research and Responsible Research and Innovation, we applied citizen science tools to engage researchers and communities in the co-development of a water quality monitoring program. In addressing a specific area of concern, raised by the remotely situated community around the need for knowing their water quality, the project successfully trained communities in applying water testing tools and fostered agency in decision-making around water treatment. Combined with continuous feedback and communication loops, a high rate of continuity was sustained among the participants.

Abstract: With the advent of modern Medicine, the connections between emotions and medical conditions have primarily been described through observational studies, where conclusions are drawn from correlations of observations rather than experimental research. Psychoanalytical theory has often been used to explain many common illnesses. This approach remains prevalent today. Interestingly, despite the wealth of information now available on the influence of emotions on health, the current divide between neurology and psychiatry, as well as the separation between mental health services and primary care, combined with the time constraints and physicians’ workload, have led to a fragmented approach to many disorders. In these cases, psychological and emotional factors play an important role but are often inadequately addressed. The objective of this paper is to analyse the existing evidence on the relationship between anger and health through a narrative review. The evidence and data presented point to the need for analytical studies based on scientific methodology to explore the relationship between anger and health, and particularly to adopt an integral health approach taking into account social determinants and the role of empathy among the healthcare professionals and clinical and social care. The prevention and treatment of problems related to the high prevalence and intensity of anger are particularly relevant, given the potential negative impact this emotion can have on patients’ physical and mental health, as well as their social adjustment and relationships.

Resumo: Com o advento da medicina moderna, as conexões entre emoções e doenças foram descritas principalmente por meio de estudos observacionais, nos quais as conclusões são tiradas de correlações de observações em vez de pesquisas experimentais. A teoria psicanalítica tem sido usada com frequência para explicar muitas doenças comuns e essa abordagem ainda predomina atualmente. É interessante notar que, apesar da riqueza de informações disponíveis atualmente sobre a influência das emoções na saúde, a divisão entre neurologia e psiquiatria, bem como a separação entre os serviços de saúde mental e a atenção primária, combinadas com as restrições de tempo e com a carga de trabalho da equipe médica, levaram a uma abordagem fragmentada de muitos transtornos. Nesses casos, os fatores psicológicos e emocionais desempenham papel importante, mas geralmente são abordados de forma inadequada. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar, por meio de revisão narrativa, as evidências entre ira e saúde. As evidências eos dados apresentados apontam para a necessidade de estudos analíticos baseados em metodologia científica para explorar essa relação e, em especial, para a adoção de uma abordagem holística de saúde que considere os determinantes sociais e o papel da empatia entre os profissionais da saúde e a assistência clínica e social. A prevenção e o tratamento de problemas relacionados à alta prevalência e intensidade da ira são particularmente relevantes, dado o possível impacto negativo que essa emoção pode ter na saúde física e mental dos pacientes, bem como em seu ajuste social e em seus relacionamentos.

Resumen: Con la llegada de la medicina moderna, las conexiones entre las emociones y las enfermedades se han descrito principalmente a través de estudios observacionales, en los que las conclusiones se extraen de las correlaciones de las observaciones en lugar de la investigación experimental. La teoría psicoanalítica se ha utilizado a menudo para explicar muchas enfermedades comunes y este enfoque sigue predominando en la actualidad. Curiosamente, a pesar de la gran cantidad de información disponible hoy sobre la influencia de las emociones en la salud, la división entre la neurología y la psiquiatría, así como la separación entre los servicios de salud mental y la atención primaria, combinada con las limitaciones de tiempo y la carga de trabajo de los médicos, han llevado a un enfoque fragmentado de muchos trastornos. En estos casos, los factores psicológicos y emocionales desempeñan un papel importante, pero a menudo se abordan de forma inadecuada. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar, mediante una revisión narrativa, las evidencias existentes entre la ira y la salud. La evidencia y los datos presentados apuntan a la necesidad de estudios analíticos basados en la metodología científica para explorar dicha relación, y en particular para adoptar un enfoque de salud integral que tenga en cuenta los determinantes sociales y el papel de la empatía entre los profesionales de la salud y la atención clínica y social. La prevención y el tratamiento de los problemas relacionados con la elevada prevalencia e intensidad de la ira son especialmente relevantes, dado el potencial impacto negativo que esta emoción puede tener sobre la salud física y mental de los pacientes, así como en su ajuste social y sus relaciones.

O debate acadêmico sobre internacionalização do ensino superior, acumulado nas últimas três décadas, discorre sobre estratégias de políticas científicas de universidades e governos no intuito de galgarem melhores posições em rankings universitários. No Brasil, a internacionalização está bastante vinculada à Avaliação dos Programas de Pós-graduação (CAPES), sendo um dos principais indicadores, meta fundamental para o desenvolvimento científico e excelência do ensino superior do país. Esta pesquisa realiza uma análise cientométrica da produção do conhecimento sobre o tema a partir de 251 teses e dissertações, defendidas entre 2013-2022, com o objetivo de responder: a) quais os temas predominantes nessas produções e como eles dialogam entre si? b) Como essa produção se comporta em suas dimensões geográfica, institucional e de campo de conhecimento? Como resultados, constatamos que a produção se destaca nas áreas de Educação e Administração, com concentração na região sul. Tematicamente, é significativa a ênfase na avaliação da ciência e dos programas de pós-graduação, a dimensão estudantil em programas de mobilidade internacional, além de aspectos relativos ao ensino. A análise de rede bimodal (áreas e palavras) nos permite indicar a evidência de pelo menos quatro agendas de pesquisa: (i) Políticas educacionais e de ensino, com ênfase para a pós-graduação, (ii) Gestão e planejamento do ensino e das IES, (iii) Língua estrangeira e colonialidade, e (iv) Políticas governamentais, regulação e produção acadêmica.

The academic debate about internationalization of higher education, which has accumulated over the last three decades, discusses the scientific policy strategies of universities and governments in order to achieve better positions in university rankings. In Brazil, internationalization is linked to the Evaluation of Postgraduate Programmes (CAPES), which is one of the main indicators, and is a fundamental goal for scientific development and excellence in higher education in the country. This research conducts a scientometric analysis of the production of knowledge on the subject from 251 theses and dissertations defended between 2013-2022, with the aim of answering: a) what are the predominant themes in these productions and how do they dialogue with each other? b) How does this production behave in its geographical, institutional and field of knowledge dimensions? We found that the production stands out in the areas of Education and Administration, with a concentration in the southern region. Thematically, there is a significant emphasis on the evaluation of science and postgraduate programs, the student dimension in international mobility programs, and aspects related to teaching. In addition, the bimodal network analysis (areas and words) allows us to point to evidence of at least four research agendas: (i) Educational and teaching policies, with an emphasis on postgraduate level, (ii) Management and planning of teaching and HEIs, (iii) Foreign language and coloniality, and (iv) Government policies, regulation and academic production.

The present work reports on the isolation and characterisation of two novel antiviral ester compounds from dichloromethane leaf extracts of Spondias mombin (SM). The characterisation and structural elucidation were established from spectroscopic evidence of nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared and mass spectroscopy. The compounds identified were 6-methylheptyl pentadecanoate and 6-methylheptyl-15-(1,2,3,4,4a,8a-hexahydronaphthalen-1-yl)pentadecanoate. The novel isolated ester compounds were reported to have anti-rhino virus activity in silico against a known biological target (HsNMT1) that plays a key role in developing therapeutics against the common cold. Molecular docking analysis revealed the binding affinity across all targets within the range of -4.6 to -8.2 kcal/mol, whilst molecular dynamic simulation showed that systems attained good stability due to the maintenance of mean root-mean-square deviation values within the acceptable range of 1.5-2.5 Å. It can be concluded that the novel compounds are potential inhibitory candidates against rhinovirus protein target HsNMT1. However, in vitro and in vivo experiments are further required to validate the possible inhibitory candidates against rhinovirus disease (common cold). SIGNIFICANCE: The significance of this study contributes to the scientific rationale for using SM leaf extracts to treat viral diseases. Two novel compounds, 6-methylheptyl pentadecanoate and 6-methylheptyl-15-(1,2,3,4,4a,8a-hexahydronaphthalen-1-yl)pentadecanoate, were predicted through computer-aided techniques to possess anti-rhinovirus properties.

Abstract Objective: Determine the effect of chess training on executive functions: planning, cognitive flexibility, working memory and inhibition by reviewing the scientific research literature in the last decade. Method: A search was carried out in the Web of Science, Scielo, Pubmed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases for the period 2012-2022, using the systematic review methodology. Results: Sixty-six articles were found and only thirteen that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed. It was possible to identify relationships between chess and the four executive functions: inhibition, flexibility, working memory and planning, in addition to executive functioning in general. Discussion: The results have suggested that the systematic practice of chess contributes to the development of executive functioning. Because it is an easily accessible practice, its benefits could be taken advantage of by incorporating it into various educational scenarios. Conclusion: The majority of research from the last ten years provides evidence that allows us to demonstrate the hypothesis that chess practice is associated with better executive performance; there is also a single article that, on the contrary, rejects this relationship.

Resumen Objetivo: Determinar el efecto de la formación en ajedrez sobre las funciones ejecutivas: planificación, flexibilidad cognitiva, memoria de trabajo e inhibición por medio de la revisión de la literatura científica de investigaciones en la última década. Método: Se desarrolló una búsqueda en las bases de datos Web of Science, Scielo, Pubmed, Scopus y en Google académico, para el período 2012-2022, mediante la metodología de revisión sistemática. Resultados: Se encontraron sesenta y seis artículos y solo se analizaron trece que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. Fue posible identificar relaciones del ajedrez con las cuatro funciones ejecutivas: inhibición, flexibilidad, memoria de trabajo y planificación, además del funcionamiento ejecutivo en general. Discusión: Los resultados han sugerido que la práctica sistemática del ajedrez contribuye al desarrollo del funcionamiento ejecutivo. Por ser una práctica de fácil alcance, se podría aprovechar sus beneficios incorporándola en diversos escenarios educativos. Conclusión: La mayoría de las investigaciones de los últimos diez años provee evidencia que permite demostrar la hipótesis de que la práctica del ajedrez se asocia un mejor desempeño ejecutivo; también se encontró un único artículo que por el contrario rechaza esta relación.

Resumen La etnoeducación permite avanzar hacia la interculturalidad, reconociendo las diversidades de culturas con que cuenta el estado colombiano; sin embargo, no se evidencia una ruta formativa clara como proyecto social que reivindique el saber de las comunidades y que permita fortalecer los procesos de identidad cultural necesarios para la pervivencia de los Pueblos Originarios. El objetivo del trabajo es responder si la etnoeducación aporta a la promoción del desarrollo sustentable desde el acto pedagógico de los Pueblos Originarios. Para lograrlo se hizo una revisión literaria de las publicaciones más citadas de los años 2017 a 2021 en las bases de datos Scopus, Web Of Science y Dimensions, seleccionadas por el idioma inglés, español y las palabras clave indexadas en el diccionario Tesauros de la UNESCO. En el análisis de la producción científica se utilizaron las herramientas Cienciométricas RStudio-Cloud, Bibliometrix y el método de Tree of Science (ToS). Asimismo, se manipuló los softwares VOSviewer y Gephi para identificar las subáreas de investigación y generar la red de conocimiento. El trabajo permitió marcar la evolución de la producción científica anual con 1.124 documento científicos, el mapa temático con tópicos emergentes relacionados a pedagogía, docencia, cultura, conocimientos ancestrales y la red de conocimiento forjada por los autores más importantes para este trabajo. Como conclusión principal se identificó que los procesos educativos deben surgir desde las comunidades étnicas, los cuales buscan transmitir las prácticas ancestrales, impulsar la sustentabilidad, educar al ser sin adaptarlo a doctrinas y modelos educativos desarrollistas.

Abstract Ethno-education allows advancing towards interculturality, recognizing the diversity of cultures in Colombia; however, there is no evidence of a clear formative route as a social project that vindicates the knowledge of the communities and allows strengthening the processes of cultural identity necessary for the survival of the Indigenous Peoples. The objective of this work is to answer whether ethno-education contributes to the promotion of sustainable development from the pedagogical act of the Indigenous Peoples. For this, a literature review was carried out from the most cited publications from the years 2017 to 2021 in the Scopus, Web of Science and Dimensions databases, selected by the English language, Spanish and the keywords indexed in the UNESCO Thesauri dictionary. In the analysis of scientific production, the scientometric tools RStudio-Cloud, Bibliometrix and the Tree of Science (ToS) method were used. The VOSviewer and Gephi software were also used to identify the research subareas and generate the knowledge network. The work allowed marking the evolution of the annual scientific production with 1,127 scientific documents, the thematic map with emerging topics related to pedagogy, teaching, culture, ancestral knowledge, and the knowledge network forged by the most important authors for this work. As a main conclusion, it was identified that the educational processes should arise from the heart of the ethnic communities, which seek to transmit ancestral practices, promote sustainability, educate the being without adapting it to developmentalist doctrines and educational models.

Resumen La autoevaluación de los programas de maestría impartidos total o parcialmente en entornos virtuales permite la mejora de estos y favorece la toma de decisiones basada en evidencias. La eficacia de la autoevaluación depende de los indicadores utilizados por lo que es indispensable determinar el valor de estos. El objetivo del trabajo fue implementar un instrumento de evaluación de los indicadores para la autoevaluación de la calidad de los programas virtuales de maestría. Se realizó la identificación y análisis de artículos científicos, guías de diseño y normas técnicas que abordan la evaluación de indicadores. Se empleó el motor de búsqueda de Google y Google Académico con las palabras clave: indicadores, sistemas de indicadores, evaluación de indicadores. Como resultado del análisis se identificaron seis criterios de calidad de los indicadores utilizados en la autoevaluación de los programas virtuales de maestría. Se elaboró un instrumento para medir estos seis criterios mediante una escala de Likert de cinco niveles. La prueba piloto del instrumento diseñado permitió su validación y mejorar los indicadores utilizados en la autoevaluación de los programas virtuales de maestría en la Cátedra de Calidad, Metrología y Normalización de la Universidad de La Habana.

Abstract Systematic self-assessment of master's programs taught totally or partially in virtual environments allows the improvement of these and favors evidence-based decision making. Self-assessment effectiveness is to a large extent due to indicators that are defined to carry it out. Value determination of these indicators for the self-assessment´s objectives achievement is the first step to the realization of this. Given the above, the objective of this work was to implement an instrument for evaluating the self-assessment´s indicators for quality of virtual programs master's. It was carried out identification and analysis of scientific articles, design guides and technical standards that address the evaluation of indicators. The Google and Google Scholar search engine was used with the keywords: indicators, indicator systems, indicator evaluation. As a result of the analysis, six indicators’ quality criteria used in the master's virtual programs self-assessment were identified. An instrument was developed to measure these six criteria through a five-level Likert scale. Pilot test of designed instrument allowed its validation and improve the indicators used in master's virtual programs self-assessment in the Chair of Quality, Metrology and Standardization of the University of Havana.

ABSTRACT Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections constitute a significant cause of morbidity, hospitalization, school and work absenteeism, as well as mortality worldwide, including in Paraguay. Currently, tools for RSV prevention are available. In 2012, Paraguay approved the use of palivizumab (MedImmune, USA), a monoclonal antibody produced through recombinant DNA technology. This antibody is administered in 5 doses, every 30 days and is indicated in infants born prematurely and those with cardiopulmonary disorders. Furthermore, a novel tool for RSV prevention has recently become available. Nirsevimab, a long-acting monoclonal antibody specific to the prefusion conformation of the F protein, has been approved by both the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This monoclonal antibody is indicated for the prevention of acute lower respiratory tract infections caused by RSV in newborns and infants born during or entering their first RSV season, as well as in premature infants and infants up to 24 months of age who remain vulnerable to severe RSV disease during their second RSV season. After analyzing the epidemiological situation of RSV in our country and evaluating the evidence of efficacy, efficiency, and effectiveness of this monoclonal antibody, academic institutions, scientific societies, and non-governmental and governmental organizations developed consensus guidelines on a new prevention alternative for the prevention of RSV infections, suggesting the incorporation of Nirsevimab in children under 12 months of age before their first RSV season and replacing Palivizumab. The new monoclonal has the potential to change the panorama of RSV infections in infants and produce an impact on the reduction of infant mortality and morbidity reducing the burden on the health system by decreasing hospital bed occupancy both in wards and in intensive care units, as well as the decrease in the burden on caregivers, physicians and health care providers.

RESUMEN Las infecciones por el VSR en constituyen una causa importante de morbilidad, hospitalización, ausentismo escolar y laboral, así como de mortalidad, en el mundo, así como en el Paraguay.En la actualidad, existen herramientas para la prevención del VSR. En el año 2012, el Paraguay, ha incorporado el palivizumab (MedImmune, EE. UU.), anticuerpo monoclonal, producido por tecnología de DNA recombinante. Este anticuerpo se administra en 5 dosis, cada 30 días y está indicado en lactantes nacidos prematuros y aquellos con trastornos cardiopulmonares. Por otro lado, actualmente se cuenta con una nueva herramienta para la prevención del VSR. El anticuerpo monoclonal de vida media prolongada Nirsevimab, específico para la conformación de prefusión de la proteína F, aprobado por EMA y FDA. Este monoclonal, está indicado para la prevención de las Infecciones respiratorias agudas bajas, causada por VSR en recién nacidos y lactantes nacidos durante o al ingresar a su primera temporada de VSR, en prematuros y lactantes hasta los 24 meses de edad que siguen siendo vulnerables a la enfermedad grave por VSR durante su segunda temporada de VSR. Luego de analizar la situación epidemiológica del VSR en el país así como la evidencia de eficacia, eficiencia y efectividad de este monoclonal; instituciones académicas, sociedades científicas, organizaciones no gubernamentales y gubernamentales se reunieron y elaboraron un consenso interinstitucional para la prevención de las infecciones por VSR, sugiriendo la incorporación del Nirsevimab, en menores de 12 meses de edad antes de su primera temporada de VSR y en reemplazo del Palivizumab, debido a que el nuevo monoclonal tiene el potencial de cambiar el panorama de las infecciones por VSR en el lactante y producir un impacto en la reducción la mortalidad y morbilidad infantil; reduciendo la carga al sistema de salud, en lo que se refiere a la disminución de la ocupación de camas hospitalarias tanto en sala como en unidades de cuidados intensivos, así como la disminución de la carga para los cuidadores, médicos y proveedores de atención médica y la mortalidad infantil.

RESUMEN El desarrollo profesional en la escuela básica, como evidencia del nivel de desempeño profesional pedagógico, es objeto de atención en contextos nacionales y locales centrados en la elevación de la calidad educativa al considerar las exigencias de la Agenda 2030. Resulta necesario que el docente asuma el reto fijado desde la concreción de los objetivos en cada sistema nacional de educación en su derivación para la escuela básica. Desde una perspectiva dialéctico-materialista se utilizan los métodos: análisis documental, encuesta, entrevista y se aplica la triangulación metodológica para favorecer el desempeño profesional pedagógico observable en el sistema de relaciones de la institución, educandos y familias en el tránsito hacia el desarrollo profesional que se aspira proponer un resultado científico que desde las acciones de preparación. En tal sentido, el artículo socializa los elementos relativos al proceso de profesionalización que propician el desarrollo profesional desde el desempeño profesional pedagógico en la escuela básica a partir de elementos generales y contextuales que previo diagnóstico inicial, ofrecen la base para proponer una estrategia pedagógica. Como resultado se establecen los elementos multifactoriales que influyen en el desarrollo profesional a partir de la estrategia pedagógica postgraduada potencia desempeños exitosos en las funciones de instruir y educar.

ABSTRACT Professional development in basic school, as evidence of the level of professional pedagogical performance, is the object of attention in national and local contexts focused on raising educational quality when considering the demands of the 2030 Agenda. It is necessary for the teacher to assume the challenge set from the realization of the objectives in each national education system in its derivation to basic school. From a dialectical-materialist perspective, the methods are used: documentary analysis, survey, interview and methodological triangulation is applied to promote professional pedagogical performance observable in the system of relationships of the institution, students and families in the transition towards professional development that. The aim is to propose a scientific result from the preparatory actions. In this sense, the article socializes the elements related to the professionalization process that promote professional development from professional pedagogical performance in basic school based on general and contextual elements that, after an initial diagnosis, offer the basis for proposing a pedagogical strategy. As a result, the multifactorial elements that influence professional development are established based on the postgraduate pedagogical strategy that enhances successful performances in the functions of instructing and educating.
