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 The COVID-19 pandemic has deepened dynamics of vulnerability that had long been felt by certain social groups. In this context, the solidity of material and psychological support networks often emerged as what buffers the most corrosive effects of the pandemic. In this article, I reflect on this topic based on an ethnography carried out in virtual environments in which an important leadership of app drivers in Pernambuco is present. In addition to identifying some of the arbitrariness suffered by the group of workers that this interlocutor represents (publicized on his Instagram), I also map how the drivers themselves come together to deal with such vulnerabilities. Finally, I demonstrate that it was my own psychological suffering (deepened by the social isolation of the pandemic) that made me look for a driver committed to defending this category of workers.

Resumo A pandemia de Covid 19 aprofundou dinâmicas de vulnerabilidade que há muito já eram sentidas por certos agrupamentos sociais. Nesse contexto, a solidez das redes de suporte material e psíquico frequentemente emerge como aquilo que amortece aqueles que foram os efeitos mais corrosivos da pandemia. Neste artigo, trago reflexões sobre esse tema a partir de uma etnografia feita nos ambientes virtuais em que uma importante liderança dos motoristas de aplicativo em Pernambuco se faz presente. Além de identificar algumas das arbitrariedades sofridas pelo grupo de trabalhadores que esse interlocutor representa (publicizadas em seu Instagram), também mapeio como os próprios motoristas se associam para lidar com tais vulnerabilidades. Por fim, demonstro que foi o meu próprio sofrimento psíquico (aprofundado pelo isolamento social da pandemia) que me fez procurar um motorista engajado com a defesa dessa categoria de trabalhadores. 1 sociais contexto artigo presente publicizadas Instagram, Instagram , Instagram) vulnerabilidades fim aprofundado

Resumen Este artículo muestra el uso de recursos web para crear entornos para visualizar los poliedros de Arquímedes y los respectivos duales de Catalan. Estos entornos fueron creados utilizando recursos de Realidad Virtual (VR), que permiten al visitante manipular los poliedros y compararlos y sus duales. Para la construcción de las salas virtuales se utilizaron transformaciones geométricas de traslación y rotación, utilizando estructuras de jerarquías de páginas HTML, e insertando cada poliedro en su respectiva sala virtual. Los recursos presentados en este trabajo se pueden utilizar en el aula para visualizar poliedros con gafas inmersivas e incluso en Realidad Aumentada (RA) utilizando smartphones y tablets. Otros estudios que se pueden desarrollar con los poliedros modelados en este artículo son áreas, volúmenes, secciones planas y la relación de Euler. Este artículo muestra la posibilidad de crear materiales didácticos con una tecnología sencilla y gratuita que hace un gran aporte a la mejora de la enseñanza de la Geometría, así como de otras áreas que utilizan representaciones gráficas de objetos 3D.

Abstract This paper shows the use of web resources to create environments for visualizing Archimedean polyhedra and the respective Catalan duals. These environments were created using Virtual Reality (VR) resources, which allow the visitor to manipulate the polyhedra and compare the polyhedra and their duals. Geometric transformations of translation and rotation were used to build the virtual rooms, using HTML page hierarchies structures, and inserting each polyhedron in its respective virtual room. The resources presented in this work can be used in the classroom to visualize polyhedra with immersive goggles and even in Augmented Reality (AR) using smartphones and tablets. Other studies that can be developed with the polyhedra modeled in this article are areas, volumes, plane sections and the Euler relation. This article shows the possibility of creating teaching materials with a simple, free technology that makes a great contribution to improving the teaching of Geometry, as well as other areas that use graphic representations of 3D objects.

Abstract The development of technological devices and virtual environments applied to communication has changed the means of access to knowledge. In this context, the role of images is updated within the framework of a hypervisual world. Thereby, Archeology has ventured into the use of visual and interactive resources in order to democratize science and bring cultural heritage closer to society. Based on the development of innovative strategies that integrate new technologies and digital/virtual visual resources, our aim is to contribute to archaeological practice development. Consequently, we propose to articulate different theoretical conceptions by a visual and interactive communicational strategy and its practical applications through vivential communicational devices, the mobile ArqueoLab-UBA and the metaverse Spatial IO, with the aim to generate a digital integrated repository. In this way, the bond between society and cultural heritage can be strengthened based on the use of virtual environments and a variety of visual resources.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Down syndrome (DS) is a non-rare genetic condition that affects approximately 1 in every 800 live births worldwide. Further, it is associated with comorbidities, anatomical alterations of the respiratory tract, and immunological dysfunctions that make individuals more susceptible to respiratory infections. OBJECTIVE: To systematize the current scientific knowledge about the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection among individuals with DS. DESIGN AND SETTING: This integrative review was conducted at the Universidade Federal de São Carlos, São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: This review was conducted in the following databases: the Virtual Health Library (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, BVS), PubMed, and Web of Science, using MeSH descriptors. The search included English or Portuguese studies published between January 1, 2020, and October 14, 2022. RESULTS: A total of 55 articles from 24 countries were selected, comprising 21 case-control or cohort studies, 23 case reports or series, and 11 narrative reviews or opinion studies. The articles were grouped into five categories: previous comorbidities, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) clinical features and evolution, cytokine storm and interleukins, living in institutions as a risk factor, and behavioral actions as a protective factor against SARS-CoV-2 infection. CONCLUSION: Individuals with DS are more susceptible to COVID-19 infection due to variables such as previous comorbidities, immunological factors, and their habitable environments. These aspects confer a higher risk of infection and an unfavorable clinical course. The precise pathways involved in the pathophysiology of COVID-19 in individuals with DS are not clear, thus requiring further studies.

Abstract: Digital-virtual environments focused on LGBTQ+ themes constitute important spaces for accessing and sharing information, by converging content on dissident and historically marginalized existences, evoking their culture and memory, in addition to giving visibility to their narratives from multiple perspectives. Such environments demand studies that analyze the main characteristics present in the structuring, access, and sharing of information for possible improvements in infocommunication processes. The convergences between Information Design and Digital Curation, aligned with Experience Design, make it possible to analyze aspects inherent to the structuring, organization, and presentation of information in digital-virtual environments. In this way, the objective was to explore national and international initiatives for communicating information on LGBTQ+ issues; identify and describe the presence of Information Design elements, converged with Digital Curation, from the perspective of Experience Design, and verify the contributions of the intersection of said disciplines to the optimization of access, sharing and appropriation of information in a digital-virtual environment. The methodology used was qualitative in nature and had a theoretical and exploratory-descriptive approach, through the application of the Design Thinking method in the Empathy, Definition, and Ideation phases. The results demonstrated that the resources arranged in the environments correspond to the use of sign representations specific to the specific cultural context, visible through characteristic vocabulary, articulation of icons, and structured representative colors, through a multimodal language. The presence of multiple elements was verified, establishing an infocommunication process with contextual significance for LGBTQ+ individuals.

Resumo Os ambientes dígito-virtuais voltados para a temática LGBTQ+ configuram importantes espaços de acesso e compartilhamento de informações, ao convergir conteúdos sobre existências dissidentes e historicamente marginalizadas, evocar sua cultura e memória, além de dar visibilidade às suas narrativas em múltiplas perspectivas. Tais ambientes demandam estudos que analisem as principais características presentes na estruturação, no acesso e no compartilhamento da informação para possíveis melhorias nos processos infocomunicacionais. As convergências entre o Design da Informação e a Curadoria Digital, alinhadas ao Design de Experiência, possibilitam analisar aspectos inerentes à estruturação, organização e apresentação da informação em ambientes dígito-virtuais. Desse modo, objetivou-se explorar iniciativas nacionais e internacionais para a comunicação de informações sobre à temática LGBTQ+; identificar e descrever a presença de elementos do Design da Informação, convergidos à Curadoria Digital, na perspectiva do Design de Experiência e verificar as contribuições da intersecção das referidas disciplinas para a otimização do acesso, do compartilhamento e da apropriação da informação em ambiente dígito-virtual. A metodologia utilizada foi de caráter qualitativo e de abordagem teórica, exploratória e descritiva, por meio da aplicação do método Design Thinking nas fases de Empatia, Definição e Ideação. Os resultados demonstraram que os recursos dispostos nos ambientes correspondem à utilização de representações sígnicas próprias do contexto cultural específico, visíveis através de vocabulário característico, articulação de ícones e cores representativas, estruturadas mediante uma linguagem multimodal.
