Behavioral and neuroanatomical substrates contributing to motivation in the postpartum female rat:
No full textThe experiments described in this dissertation characterize the unique motivational state of the postpartum female rat. To effectively protect and care for offspring (pups), postpartum females must be strongly motivated to seek out and interact with pups. A combination of place preference studies, behavioral observations, and neurobiological interventions were used to explore females’ motivational state across the postpartum period.To challenge postpartum females’ maternal motivation, Chapter 1 presented females with a choice between chambers paired with pups and highly salient cocaine. While most late postpartum females preferred cocaine, many early postpartum females retained striking preference for the pup-paired chamber. To explore whether cocaine’s incentive value changed across the postpartum period, Chapter 2 examined females’ preference for cocaine- versus saline-paired chambers. Across a broad range of drug administration parameters, postpartum females consistently expressed similar, strong preference for the cocaine-paired chamber. Surprisingly, cocaine preference was stronger in postpartum females than virgin females or males. Females’ locomotor response to pup, cocaine, and saline stimuli predicted their preference for those stimuli. Chapter 3 revealed that the length of pup exposure and nature of female-pup interactions can even affect the motivational state of females that have not given birth. Virgin females were exposed to young pups for various lengths of time and then tested for pup-paired chamber preference. Striking pup-paired chamber preference emerged even in virgin females only briefly exposed to pups, matching the preference expressed by strongly motivated postpartum females. Experiments in Chapter 4 revealed that the ventral tegmental area (VTA), a brain region critical to motivated behavior, drives the incentive value of pup but not cocaine stimuli. Postpartum and virgin females were tested for their preference for pup- or cocaine-paired chambers, respectively, after transient VTA inactivation. Pup preference was abolished by VTA inactivation and restored after recovery. Cocaine preference remained intact despite VTA function.Maternal motivation is resilient to challenge during early postpartum and is at least partially driven by exposure to pups. As the choice of other salient stimuli (e.g., cocaine) during postpartum may jeopardize maternal motivation, females’ motivation to interact proactively with pups is critical to the offsprings’ survival and viability.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 203-218)by Katharine M.

Fortalecimiento del sistema educativo indígena propio (seip) en el resguardo indígena nasa de Novirao, municipio de Totoró, Cauca
No full textcontien: mapas, tablas, graficos, cuadrosResumen
El presente proyecto busca fortalecer la implementación del Sistema Educativo Indígena Propio (SEIP) en el resguardo Nasa de Novirao, mediante un enfoque participativo, intercultural y territorial que integre los saberes ancestrales, la lengua Nasa Yuwe y los contenidos del currículo nacional. Surge ante la limitada apropiación del SEIP, evidenciada en la escasa enseñanza del Nasa Yuwe, la débil formación docente en educación propia y la desvinculación entre la escuela y la vida comunitaria, factores que han contribuido a la pérdida de saberes ancestrales y a la desmotivación educativa.
Desde una perspectiva crítica y decolonial, el proyecto se sustenta teóricamente en la pedagogía crítica (Freire, 1970), las epistemologías del sur (Santos, 2010) y la educación intercultural crítica (Walsh, 2009), apoyándose normativamente en la Constitución Política de 1991, la Ley 115 de 1994 y el Decreto 1345 de 2024. Metodológicamente, se enmarca en la Investigación Acción Participativa (IAP), articulando diagnóstico, planificación, acción y evaluación comunitaria, complementada con estrategias de Co-diseño (Manzini, 2015) para promover la creación colectiva de soluciones educativas.
Entre las principales técnicas empleadas se destacan la cartografía social, los círculos de la palabra, las entrevistas abiertas, el mapeo de actores y el prototipado pedagógico. Estas herramientas permitirán construir materiales didácticos contextualizados cartillas, podcast, rutas metodológicas y fortalecer los vínculos entre escuela, territorio y comunidad.
El proyecto avanza en seis fases que incluyen diagnóstico participativo, análisis colectivo, Co-diseño de estrategias y validación comunitaria, consolidando así un modelo de educación propia que promueve la identidad cultural, la autonomía territorial y el diálogo de saberes como fundamento del buen vivir Nasa.
Palabras clave: SEIP, educación propia, Nasa Yuwe, investigación acción participativa, Co-diseño, interculturalidad crítica, autonomía territorial.This project seeks to strengthen the implementation of the Indigenous Education System (SEIP) in the Nasa reservation of Novirao, through a participatory, intercultural, and territorial approach that integrates ancestral knowledge, the Nasa Yuwe language, and the content of the national curriculum. It arises from the limited adoption of the SEIP, evidenced by the scarcity of Nasa Yuwe language instruction, weak teacher training in Indigenous education, and the disconnect between school and community life—factors that have contributed to the loss of ancestral knowledge and educational disengagement.
From a critical and decolonial perspective, the project is theoretically grounded in critical pedagogy (Freire, 1970), epistemologies of the South (Santos, 2010), and critical intercultural education (Walsh, 2009), and normatively supported by the 1991 Political Constitution, Law 115 of 1994, and Decree 1345 of 2024. Methodologically, it is framed within Participatory Action Research (PAR), articulating diagnosis, planning, action, and community evaluation, complemented by co-design strategies (Manzini, 2015) to promote the collective creation of educational solutions.
Among the main techniques employed are social mapping, discussion circles, open interviews, stakeholder mapping, and pedagogical prototyping. These tools will enable the creation of contextualized educational materials—booklets, podcasts, methodological pathways—and strengthen the links between school, territory, and community.
The project progresses through six phases, including participatory diagnosis, collective analysis, co-design of strategies, and community validation, thus consolidating a model of Indigenous education that promotes cultural identity, territorial autonomy, and the dialogue of knowledge as the foundation of Nasa well-being.

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
