International legal and theoretical perspectives on general secondary education
Full text linkIntroduction: The article addresses the problem of defining the conceptual and categorical framework and systematic features of the definition of the term "general secondary education".Objective: The article examines the level of informational-psychological safety and psychological safety indicators and their relationship with resilience indicators have been studied.Methods: General scientific methods were employed, such as analysing scientific sources, systematisation, generalisation method, survey.Results: It has been determined that interpreting the aspects of achieving educational outcomes in the general secondary education system through the prism of the legislative framework has a conceptual appropriation. However, it requires expansion in matters of subject-practical regulation at the level of the corresponding educational environment, such as general secondary education and other previously mentioned educational clusters. The necessity of introducing an integration approach to intra-educational equality by each educational institution has been established. This may cause inconsistencies in implementing national legislative provisions at the local level.Conclusions: Thus, a set of proposals by the educational sector\u27s legislator aimed at improving the gender-social components of acquiring professional knowledge in general educational institutions could serve as a mechanism for resolving such situational conflicts. These proposals could subsequently be incorporated by general secondary education institutions into their statutory and regulatory programmatic documentation, proportionally reflecting the peculiarities of their functioning

Autoimmune pemphigus: opportunistic infectious complications and comprehensive patient care
Full text linkPemphigus is a rare autoimmune blistering disease characterized by loss of keratinocyte adhesion and the development of blisters and erosions on the skin and mucous membranes. The aim of this narrative review is to describe the clinical and pathophysiological features of pemphigus, analyze opportunistic infectious complications related to immunosuppressive therapy, and summarize recommendations for comprehensive patient care. A structured literature search was performed in SciELO, RedALyC, and LILACS, including original articles, case reports, clinical series, guidelines, and reviews published between 2013 and 2024 in Spanish and Portuguese. The reviewed evidence shows that pemphigus vulgaris and paraneoplastic pemphigus are the variants with the highest mucosal involvement and greater disruption of the cutaneous–mucosal barrier, predisposing patients to bacterial, viral, and fungal superinfections, particularly under long-term immunosuppression. Systemic corticosteroids remain the mainstay of treatment, often combined with steroid-sparing agents and targeted immunotherapy, such as rituximab, according to disease severity. Nursing care plays a key role in skin and mucosal protection, prevention of secondary infections, nutritional support, pain control, and psychosocial assistance. Close coordination of the multidisciplinary team, together with patient and family education, is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality, enhance treatment adherence, and improve quality of life in this chronic and potentially life-threatening disease
Pedagogical strategies and educational dynamics that promote student retention in health sciences
Full text linkThis study analyzed the influence of pedagogical strategies, teaching methods, and dynamics of the educational environment on student retention in a health sciences degree program over six years. To do so, a quantitative, descriptive, and longitudinal design with a retrospective approach was used. It was observed that active methodologies, personalized tutoring, and the combination of face-to-face and virtual activities significantly favored student retention. These strategies not only fostered commitment and motivation, but also responded better to the individual and collective needs of students. The results highlighted that flexibility in teaching modalities and individualized academic attention contributed to reducing dropout rates, evidencing the importance of adapting pedagogical practices to the changing realities of students. In addition, it was observed that access to quality institutional resources and social interaction in the educational environment strengthened the sense of belonging, promoting academic continuity. In contrast, traditional approaches and the transition to exclusively virtual modalities without sufficient support showed limitations. It is recommended to prioritize the development of inclusive and flexible educational environments, which integrate pedagogical innovation and institutional resources adapted to the needs of the student, to improve retention and academic success.
Citizen participation in water protection management in Tulcán
Full text linkThe study analyzed citizen participation in the implementation of the ordinance for water protection in Tulcán, aiming to identify limitations, strengths, and opportunities to optimize community engagement in water management. Using a mixed-methods approach, surveys were conducted with 600 residents from urban and rural areas, alongside interviews with key stakeholders and focus groups involving 60 participants. The results revealed a significant gap in knowledge and participation between urban and rural areas. While the average level of knowledge was higher in urban areas (3.8 compared to 2.6 in rural areas, on a scale of 1 to 5), effective participation was also greater in urban zones (46% versus 31%). Limited dissemination of the ordinance, insufficient institutional resources, and a lack of trust in local authorities were identified as key challenges hindering the ordinance\u27s objectives. Key recommendations included implementing inclusive information campaigns, strengthening community leadership, and leveraging accessible technologies to overcome communication barriers. The study emphasized the importance of promoting feedback mechanisms and developing incentives to foster citizen participation
Evaluating Digitalization as a Core Requirement for Future Educational Systems
Full text linkToday, the view of modern technologies as mere tools for various purposes in learning and knowledge exchange is being rethought. This reassessment opens up the possibility of new approaches to education that stem from the philosophy of technology and sociology. The interpretation of the latest technologies in the education of the future justifies the need for new educational approaches. The purpose of this paper is to analyse the possibility of integrating new technologies into the processes of learning and education, knowledge production and educational institutions within the framework of digitalisation. Materials and The study examined the latest scientific sources related to this topic using international scientific and metric databases such as Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar. The results of the study showed that new technologies are not just tools or external layers added to education. In their social and natural aspects, they mediate almost all human experiences and even influence the formation of people\u27s worldviews. We conclude that the interaction between people and new technologies is a set of inseparable components that cannot exist independently. At the same time, the educational interpretation of the latest technologies considers them as mediators of experience. In particular, these technologies tend to change both the forms and content of future education. Any impact that results from this interaction affects the behaviour of individuals in society, as well as the general perception of the social and natural environment.
