Trends and challenges of medical education
No full textThe aim of this article is to reflect on the contextual factors that influence medical education, in order to provide some recommendations about the challenges that physicians face.
A literature review was conducted to write this reflection paper, and it was found that the education of health professionals has undergone significant changes that are based on the development of biomedical sciences, technology, and pedagogy, and are influenced by the needs of the general population, the requirements of the health systems of each country, and scientific progress.
These changes have given rise to challenges inherent to the special characteristics of each country and related to the quantity, quality, and relevance of the training of physicians. In this regard, it has been suggested that, in the face of such changes, it is necessary to design curricula that integrate all aspects of health care, consider the supply and demand of medical services, emphasize professionalism, take into account the pedagogical training of health sciences teachers, comply with quality standards, assist students in selecting undergraduate programs adequately (in this case Medicine), and ensure relevant clinical practice scenarios.
It should also be noted that medical education has not adapted adequately to the aforementioned changes in many countries and, therefore, the development of teaching and learning strategies has lagged behind and physicians in such countries do not have the capacity to provide the health care required by the general population in a proper manner.El objetivo del presente artículo es reflexionar sobre los aspectos contextuales que influyen en la educación médica con el fin de plantear algunas recomendaciones a tener en cuenta a la hora de afrontar los retos a los que se enfrentan los médicos.
Para la elaboración de la presente reflexión se realizó una revisión de la literatura en la que se encontró que la educación de los profesionales de la salud ha tenido importantes cambios que se fundamentan en el desarrollo de las ciencias biomédicas, la tecnología y la pedagogía, y están influenciados por las necesidades de la población, los requerimientos de los sistemas de salud de cada país y el progreso científico.
Estos cambios han ocasionado desafíos inherentes a las particularidades de cada país y relacionados con la cantidad, la calidad y la pertinencia de la formación de los médicos. En este sentido, se ha planteado que para afrontar dichos cambios es necesario diseñar currículos que integren todos los aspectos relacionados con la atención en salud, consideren la oferta y la demanda de los servicios médicos, hagan énfasis en el profesionalismo, tengan en cuenta la capacitación pedagógica de los docentes en ciencias de la salud, cumplan los estándares de calidad, ayuden a los estudiantes a lograr la selección apropiada de programas de pregrado (en este caso medicina) y garanticen escenarios de práctica clínica pertinentes.
De igual forma, para enfrentar estos retos se debe tener en cuenta que en muchos países la educación médica no se ha adaptado adecuadamente a los cambios antes mencionados, y, por lo tanto, el desarrollo de estrategias de enseñanza y aprendizaje se ha rezagado y los médicos no tienen la capacidad de proveer los cuidados de salud requeridos por la población de forma apropiada en estos territorios

La tutoria en programas de doctorado. Tensiones tutoriales en Doctorado Ciencias de la Educación RUDECOLOMBIA
No full textThe object of the work is to analyze the existing tensions in the development of the mentoring of the Doctoral Program in Educational Sciences of RUDECOLOMBIA, within the context of the international mentoring, with the question: ¿Do the tensions of the mentoring affect the quality of the work and integral formation of the doctoral student? The method focuses on the history of education that led to setting up the model to analyze the object of study as is the mentoring in a doctorate program. The qualitative methodology along with the comparative, provided us with the procedures, classification and organization of information that allowed us to understand the place that has occupied the mentoring in the training of doctors in RUDECOLOMBIA, from a review of national and international literature, they are contextualized within the concept of globalization and poses alternatives of solution. The strategies focused on the information about the workshops performed at the Curriculum Committee, in the 61 interviews carried out and the revision of the files of RUDECOLOMBIA. The results allowed us to identify that although there are rules on mentoring in the doctorate, there are still situations in which, the decision to take, depends on the autonomy of the mentor. This creates tensions, since there can be arguments in favor of or against such a decision, which affects the quality of the doctoral training. Conclusions: some recommendations are presented to implement the regulations and facilitate the decision-making in relation with the dilemmas and tensions that arise in the process of formation of the graduate; in addition, a proposal for training and/or permanent seminar of update for the mentor is presented.El objeto del trabajo es el de analizar las tensiones existentes en el desarrollo de la tutoría del Doctorado en Ciencias de la Educación de RUDECOLOMBIA, dentro del contexto de las tutorías internacionales, con la pregunta ¿Inciden las tensiones de la tutoría en la calidad del trabajo y formación integral del doctorando? El método se centra desde la historia de la educación que permitió establecer el modelo para analizar el objeto de estudio como es la tutoría en un programa de doctorado. La metodología cualitativa junto con la comparativa, nos proporcionó los procedimientos, clasificación y organización de la información, que permitieron comprender el lugar que ha ocupado la tutoría en la formación de los doctores en RUDECOLOMBIA, desde la revisión en la información de los talleres realizados en Comité Curricular y en las 61 entrevistas realizadas y el archivo de RUDECOLOMBIA. Los resultados permitieron identificar, que si bien existen normas sobre la tutoría en los doctorados, aún se identifican situaciones en las cuales, la decisión a tomar, depende de la autonomía del tutor. Esto genera tensiones, puesto que puedenexistir argumentos a favor o en contra de dicha decisión, lo cual incide en la calidad de la formación doctoral. Se socializan algunas recomendaciones para implementar la normatividad y facilitar la toma de decisiones en relación con los dilemas y tensiones que surjan en el proceso de formación del graduado. de literatura nacional e internacional, las contextualiza dentro del concepto de globalización y plantea alternativas de solución.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
