The violence of love: psychoanalytic perspective
Get PDFA theoretical elaboration is presented around the question: what is the violence of love, from the psychoanalytic perspective, in our days? To do this, he realizes the increasingly evident social expressions of destruction in the name of love, and that lead to mental health problems, due to the confusion of the signifier as sacrificed and as sacrificial, as lost or as an instrument. From this perspective, several little-addressed proposals emerge, such as inquiring about the nature of love, its causes, its forms of action, and with unavoidable links that, up to now, are usually presented as opposed to violence, which nevertheless is revealed no longer in opposition, but in a constitutive bond of love itself. The theme of the violence of love, in this sense, requires a resignation, and this is to study love isolated from its amalgamic component. To go deeper into this perspective, the psychoanalytic perspective provides considerations that require reflections established even outside the classical discourse, such as its romantic definitio
Bibliometrics and Scientometrics, essential knowledge and practice for students of medical sciences
Get PDFDuring the last century there has been a spectacular increase in scientific production at international and national level, as well as its compilation in automated bibliographic databases, whose results have great influence on the economic and social development of countries, which demands the quantification and evaluation of scientific and technological activity, its results and yields. Bibliometrics and scientometrics are increasingly positioned as essential disciplines to measure the results of science, and despite this, not all members of the student scientific community recognize them as necessary in the information and communications era, as a way to improve and bring to higher levels the excellence in the student research process and its impact on scientific publications. Bibliometrics studies the quantitative aspects of the production, dissemination and use of recorded information, to which end it develops mathematical models and measurements that, in turn, serve to make forecasts and decisions about these processes. For its part, scientometrics studies the quantitative aspects of science as a discipline or economic activity, is part of the sociology of science, and finds application in the establishment of scientific policies, where it includes, among others, those of publicatio
Sacred Transits: Exploring Death Through Religious Mosaic
Get PDFDeath is a reality in the lives of all human beings, and although nobody wants to talk about it, it is a part of the life cycle that we will all go through at some point. It is also a reality that, as health professionals, nursing plays a fundamental role since it is part of this painful scenario that we cannot ignore daily. After analyzing the concepts of death in Catholicism, Jehovah\u27s Witnesses, Judaism and Evangelism, we can say that death is, for these religions, the separation of body and soul, which will be united again at the moment of resurrection; for this reason, the body is honoured and prayed for the purification of the souls. The deceased and the grieving family members have faith that at the moment of resurrection, they will be with God and meet again and share an eternal life. Knowledge of the concept of death in different religions provides nursing with a tool to understand, for example, the palliative care patient and his family, a grandmother who gives us a holy card of Jesus to place on her granddaughter\u27s bedside table, the parents of a critically ill newborn who ask permission for the congregation to say a prayer on behalf of their child, as well as the parents of another non-viable newborn who ask permission for the priest to anoint him with holy water. These are situations that remind us that nurses should not only master the technique but also understand people as a whole being, and for this, they should understand the religious beliefs that guide their behaviour, such as not accepting blood donations, refusing to donate organs or not allowing the autopsy or cremation of a family membe
“Tooth fairy" educational strategy for infants in the fifth year of life

Photographic images of indigenous peoples in contemporary Chilean poetry
Get PDFThis article analyzes the literary proposals De la tierra sin fuegos (1986) and Reducciones (2012) by the Chilean poets Juan Pablo Riveros and Jaime Huenún respectively; works in which the intersection between word and image is privileged in a deconstructive and questioning eagerness. The photographic image of native peoples that is materially incorporated into the textual body of the poems comes, on the one hand, from ethnographic/anthropometric archives, from the priest and ethnologist Martin Gusinde, and from the scientists Robert Lehmann-Nitsche, Herman Ten Kate, Francisco P. Moreno and Hans Virchow. Through this verbovisual assemblage, two different perspectives are presented regarding the procedures of scrutiny that the ethnologist/scientist follows when approaching the indigenous person and the reading he makes of him and his culture: the first becomes a fellow tribesman, while the others exercise a biosocial control over the indigenous person by freely disposing of his corporeality for scientific purposes. In this way, the texts resort to images to reflect on the materialization of ethnographic photography and the material and metaphysical "capture" of the indigenous; they problematize the photographic act, the revealing character of the image and its scenic implications in the exhibition of the indigenous in order to corroborate, denounce and give a face to these subjects. In addition, they point to the hunters and situate the historical context under which these takeovers take place, that is, they are images that violate the viewer by confronting him with the usurpation and death that weighs on the indigenous, particularly in contexts of internal colonization (nineteenth and twentieth centuries
The improvement of preschool educators in communication skills: describing and narrating from an interdisciplinary perspective

Dysphagia a challenge for rehabilitation in Palliative Care patients: clinical and psychosocial perspectives
Get PDFComprehensive nursing care in situations of health vulnerability implies a complete analysis from clinical and psychosocial references. Dysphagia, difficulty in swallowing, is an important risk, caused by organic lesions or neuromuscular dysfunctions. Normal swallowing is divided into four phases, any of which can be affected and lead to dysphagia. Dysphagia is associated with diseases such as Parkinson\u27s disease, esophageal cancer, and pulmonary disorders. Its prevalence is high in older patients, with 30 % in those over 65 years of age and up to 86 % in older adults hospitalized with pneumonia. Its early detection is crucial, as it can lead to comorbidities such as dehydration, malnutrition and aspiration pneumonia. Tolerance tests with foods of different textures and liquids of various viscosities are used to assess dysphagia. Results may indicate impaired chewing, oral storage of food, reduced laryngeal elevation, and more. In addition, instrumental tests such as videofluoroscopy and endoscopic examination are used to detect aspiration and other abnormalities. The goal of comprehensive diagnosis is to find solutions and early oral rehabilitation, adopt appropriate therapeutic measures, improve posture and ergonomics, strengthen the oropharyngeal musculature and prevent associated risks. Quality of life in people with chronic dysphagia is addressed in the context of advanced chronic diseases or palliative car
Affected Mexico human papillomavirus vaccine: a proposal for collective health care
Get PDFThe objective of this article is to analyze the process of formation of Afectadas México Vacuna Virus del Papiloma Humano, a group of mothers organized from the health affectations of their daughters attributed to the immunization against this virus, as a space of collective care. The qualitative research, with in-depth interviews and an analysis from the sociocultural perspective of emotions and crossed by gender, has focused on reflecting on the causes that have led these mothers, as primary caregivers in the process of care and attention to the health of the affected daughters, to build alternative spaces of visibility, mutual support, dialogue and collective denunciation, taking as main tool the use of social networks and digitality, as these are the most used means of mass contact at present, with projection to different social spheres. From this study it has been concluded that the competent contexts to the health-disease-care process are not alien to social responses that take shape in organizations of denunciation, rejection and protest, even from a non-physical and conventional mobilization. The post-vaccine effect has served to make it clear that health is also a matter of social and political competition, in which emotions are the binding element that strengthens the union. The experience with the loss of the daughters\u27 health links the expressions of feeling in action, interaction and politicization of women from their own material and ideological resource
Conception of death in different cultures and funeral rites in Bolivia, China, Indonesia, Madagascar and USA
Get PDFIn some cultures, death is associated with different rituals and customs to help people grieving. Rituals offer people ways to process and express their grief. They also provide ways for the community to help people who are grieving. Death can cause chaos, anger, and confusion. That is where the community comes in to support and help cope with grief. Funeral rites are symbolic systems that represent specific socio-cultural practices of the human species; they are a means to facilitate the arrival of the soul to its place of destination through religious or pagan acts, methods to ward off and scare away evil spirits or to prevent the dead from appearing and disturbing the living. After analyzing the concept of death in the proposed cultures, differences and similarities were observed in their conceptions and meanings; they all share the feeling of honoring, loving, caring, and commemorating their deceased. Each celebration is a tribute to the loved one on a particular date, depending on the culture and geographical region, such as Bolivia, China, Indonesia, Madagascar, New Orleans, and Parsis (Persians). In the different funeral rites, we could appreciate death\u27s diverse manifestations and beliefs and its connotations, such as honoring, entertaining, feeding, grooming, decorating the deceased, and respecting and venerating natur
