RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Monkeypox (Mpox) virus infection is a topic of growing interest today because of its potential public health impact and concern about possible outbreaks. Reliable and up-to-date sources of information that provide accurate data on its transmission, symptoms, prevention, and treatment are essential for understanding and effectively addressing this disease. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to determine the prevalence of sources of information on Mpox virus infection. METHODS: An exhaustive systematic review and meta-analysis was carried out using the information available in the PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and ScienceDirect databases up to August 3, 2023. The data were analyzed using R software version 4.2.3. The quality of the cross-sectional studies that formed part of this review was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument (JBI-MAStARI) tool. In addition, a subgroup analysis was performed based on the study populations. RESULTS: Through electronic searches of five databases, a total of 1833 studies were identified. Twenty-four cross-sectional articles were included, with a total sample of 35,959 participants from 34 countries. The pooled prevalence of each of the included information sources was: social networks reached 59% (95% CI: 50-68%; 29,146 participants; 22 studies; I2 = 100%; p < 0.01); the Internet was 61% (95% CI: 44-77%; 14,002 participants; 5 studies; I2 = 100%; p < 0.01), radio reached 10% (95% CI: 07-13%; 8917 participants; 4 studies; I2 = 93%; p < 0.01), television accounted for 24% (95% CI: 09-43%; 14,896 participants; 8 studies; I2 = 100%; p < 0.01), and the combination of radio and television accounted for 45% (95% CI: 31-60%; 4207 participants; 7 studies; I2 = 99%; p < 0.01); for newspapers, it was 15% (95% CI: 05-27%; 2841 participants; 6 studies; I2 = 99%; p < 0.01), friends and relatives accounted for 19% (95% CI: 12-28%; 28,470 participants; 19 studies; I2 = 100%; p < 0.01), the World Health Organization (WHO) accounted for 17% (95% CI: 07-29%; 1656 participants; 3 studies; I2 = 97%; p < 0.01), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) accounted for 10% (95% CI: 03-21%; 2378 participants; 3 studies; I2 = 98%; p < 0.01), and the combination of WHO and CDC websites accounted for 60% (95% CI: 48-72%; 1828 participants; 4 studies; I2 = 96%; p < 0.01), and finally, scientific articles and journals accounted for 24% (95% CI: 16-33%; 16,775 participants; 13 studies; I2 = 99%; p < 0.01). CONCLUSION: The study suggests that people access a variety of information sources to gain knowledge about Mpox virus infection, with a strong emphasis on online sources such as social networks and the Internet. However, it is important to note that the quality and accuracy of information available from these sources can vary, underscoring the need to promote access to reliable and up-to-date information about this disease to ensure public health.

RESUMO

En la actualidad la capacidad de distinguir cuáles son las fuentes que brindan una información confiable es la herramienta más importante para los investigadores. Por tanto, es necesario profundizar en el uso de fuentes de información veraz y actualizada, y la importancia de evaluarlas. Esta problemática toma mayor fuerza en el área de la salud, por lo que las instituciones en cuestión, se han proyectado en este tipo de estudio. Tal es el caso del Centro Provincial de Información de Ciencias Médicas de Villa Clara, que se propuso evaluar el uso de la Biblioteca Virtual de Salud de Cuba por los bibliotecarios de la red de bibliotecas médicas de la provincia, cuyo objetivo fundamental es satisfacer las necesidades de sus usuarios.

Currently, the ability to distinguish which sources provide reliable information is the most important tool for researchers. Therefore, it is necessary to deepen the use of truthful and updated information sources, and the importance of evaluating them. This problem takes greater importance in the health area, that is why the institutions in question have been projected in this type of study. Such is the case of the Provincial Information Center for Medical Sciences from Villa Clara, which proposed to evaluate the use of the Cuban Virtual Health Library by the librarians of the network of medical libraries in the province, whose fundamental objective is to satisfy the needs of its users.

RESUMO

Trust in institutions is fundamental for the stability and proper functioning of democracies, particularly in matters of high public sensitivity, such as food safety. This study aimed to assess trust levels in different sources of information and respondents' evaluation of the performance of government agencies responsible for controlling food-related hazards. Individuals interviewed in three environments (hospitals/clinics, supermarkets, universities, N = 1000) answered a face-to-face questionnaire in the Federal District of Brazil, and another population (health surveillance employees at the municipal, state and federal levels; N = 1017) answered the questionnaire online. About 60% of the population interviewed considered government performance to be low/very low. Scientists/universities, medical doctors (MD)/health professionals, and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) were judged to be the most reliable sources of information on food hazards, while the food industry, supermarkets and social media inspired the lowest trust. Individuals from the hospitals/clinics group had significantly higher trust in MD/health professionals, media and websites than the two other Federal District groups. In general, income and education were the most predictive factors for the results, being negatively associated with assessment of government performance and trust in most information sources. In the Federal District, there was a negative association between trust levels in the government and worry about pesticides and genetically modified food, but a positive association between trust in NGOs and worry on these hazards. The results point to the need for the implementation of more effective communication strategies by institutions in which the population has low trust levels, such as government and food companies.

RESUMO

The gold standard for the diagnosis of oral cancer is the microscopic analysis of specimens removed preferentially through incisional biopsies of oral mucosa with a clinically detected suspicious lesion. This dataset contains captured histopathological images of oral squamous cell carcinoma and leukoplakia. A total of 237 images were captured, 89 leukoplakia with dysplasia images, 57 leukoplakia without dysplasia images and 91 carcinoma images. The images were captured with an optical light microscope, using 10x and 40x objectives, attached to a microscope camera and visualized through a software. The images were saved in PNG format at 2048 × 1536 size pixels and they refer to hematoxylin-eosin stained histopathologic slides from biopsies performed between 2010 and 2021 in patients managed at the Oral Diagnosis project (NDB) of the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES). Oral leukoplakias were represented by samples with and without epithelial dysplasia. Since the diagnosis considers socio-demographic data (gender, age and skin color) as well as clinical data (tobacco use, alcohol consumption, sun exposure, fundamental lesion, type of biopsy, lesion color, lesion surface and lesion diagnosis), this information was also collected. So, our aim by releasing this dataset NDB-UFES is to provide a new dataset to be used by researchers in Artificial Intelligence (machine and deep learning) to develop tools to assist clinicians and pathologists in the automated diagnosis of oral potentially malignant disorders and oral squamous cell carcinoma.

RESUMO

Abstract Healthcare professionals use a variety of drug information sources to fulfill their clinical needs and medical practice. The aim of present study was to assess the sources of drug information among hospital' prescribers and evaluate their prescribing behavior in Saudi hospitals. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among randomly selected hospital' prescribers using a self-administered questionnaire. The response rate to the survey was 64.29%, with a ratio of 76.44% male and 23.56% female. The internet 137(60.89%) and textbooks 86(38.22%) were the prevalent sources for drug information used. Up-To-Date 107(47.56%), Medscape 105(46.67%) and FDA 74(32.88%) were the common electronic drug sources used. About 151(67.11%) of hospital' prescribers considered the pharmacist as a reliable drug information source. The most favored drug requests by hospital' prescribers from the pharmacists were drug alternatives 110(48.89%) followed by drug interactions 94(41.78%), side effects 78(34.67%) and indications 60(26.67%). Therapeutic efficacy 168(74.67%) and drug availability 73(32.44%) were the main factors contributed to the selection of drugs. This study shows some differences in hospital prescribers' perceptions of sources of drug information depending upon their background and clinical practice. Therefore, knowing appropriate drug information used by hospital' prescribers is fundamental for drug efficacy and safety in clinical practice.

RESUMO

Para extração e avaliação em massa de informações descritas nas patentes é necessário utilizar ferramentas computacionais de data mining, visto que a verificação manual desses documentos é uma tarefa bastante complexa. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste artigo foi utilizar a ferramenta de mineração Patent2net para extrair da base Espacenet informações relativas à participação brasileira no tocante ao desenvolvimento de tecnologias relacionadas à tuberculose pulmonar, e identificar invenções patenteadas em outros países, cuja proteção não tenha sido estendida ao Brasil, e que possam ser utilizadas para prevenção de tão importante doença negligenciada no contexto nacional. Como principais resultados, foram identificadas 1 585 patentes, depositadas entre os anos de 1897 a 2017 em 30 países, sem a participação de inventores ou empresas brasileiras, e que descreviam principalmente tecnologias relacionadas a agentes antibióticos e antissépticos, tanto naturais quanto alopáticos, todavia voltadas principalmente ao tratamento da tuberculose pulmonar, e não à prevenção. Em um segundo momento, foi identificada uma patente que descreve um aspirador de secreções descartável com baixo custo de produção, livre para reprodução no Brasil, com potencial aplicabilidade na profilaxia da infecção cruzada em tuberculose, o que pode contribuir para minimizar a problemática relativa à doença tanto no Brasil quanto em outros países(AU)

Para la extracción exhaustiva y el uso de la información descrita en las patentes, es necesario contar con herramientas computacionales de minería de datos, ya que la evaluación manual de esos documentos sería una tarea muy compleja. El objetivo del presente estudio es utilizar la herramienta de minería Patent2net para extraer de la base de datos Espacenet información relacionada con la participación de Brasil en la elaboración de tecnologías relacionadas con la tuberculosis pulmonar, así como identificar invenciones patentadas en otros países cuya protección no ha sido extendida a Brasil y que pueden usarse en el contexto nacional para prevenir esa importante enfermedad desatendida. Los principales resultados fueron la identificación de 1 585 patentes depositadas entre los años 1897 y 2017 en 30 países sin la participación de compañías o inventores brasileños, en las que fundamentalmente se describen tecnologías relacionadas con antibióticos y antisépticos, tanto naturales como alopáticos, pero que se centran en el tratamiento de la tuberculosis pulmonar, no en su prevención. En un segundo momento se identificó una patente donde se describió una aspiradora desechable de un bajo costo de producción, con posibilidades de reproducción gratuita en Brasil y potencial aplicación en la profilaxis de infecciones cruzadas con la tuberculosis, lo que puede contribuir a minimizar este problema de salud tanto en Brasil como en otros países(AU)

For mass extraction and use of information described in patents it is necessary to use computational tools of data mining, since the manual evaluation of these documents is a very complex task. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to use Patent2net mining tool to extract from Espacenet database information regarding Brazilian involvement in the development of technologies related to pulmonary tuberculosis, and to identify patented inventions in other countries, whose protection has not been extended to Brazil, and that can be used to prevent such an important neglected disease in the national context. As main results, 1,585 patents were identified, deposited between the years 1897 and 2017 in 30 countries, without the participation of inventors or Brazilian companies, which mainly described technologies related to antibiotic and antiseptic agents, both natural and allopathic, but focused on the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis, and not on prevention. In a second moment, was identified a patent describing a disposable vacuum cleaner with low cost of production, free for reproduction in Brazil, with potential applicability in the prophylaxis of cross-infection in tuberculosis, which may contribute to minimize the disease-related problem both in Brazil and in other countries(AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To characterise information requests (IRs) from hospitals received by a drug information center (DIC-RS) according to the resolution of the inquiries. METHOD: The sample consisted of all requestors and their respective IRs registered in the DIC-RS database from January 2012 to December 2016. Request without information in the consulted literature (RWI) were categorised according to the institution of origin. IRs from hospitals were classified by the information source, topic and subtopic of the questions, and the number of drugs and the pharmacological or therapeutic group. RESULTS: A total of 2,500 IRs were analysed. Of those, 25% did not exhibit conclusive information in the consulted sources. RWI from hospitals represented 51% of all RWI, followed by those from community pharmacies (13%) and health centres (9%). Tertiary literature was the most commonly used source (73%) for IRs from hospitals. The greatest difficulties in finding information were related to off-label drug administration and indication issues (52% of RWI). The most common type of off-label use was related to changes in the original pharmaceutical form of the drug. Furthermore, 61% of RWI were directed at a specific drug, mostly systemic anti-infectives. CONCLUSION: We found that a quarter of the answers did not exhibit conclusive information in the consulted sources. Answers to IRs from the hospital environment exhibited the greatest extent of limited information, and off-label use was responsible for most cases.

RESUMO

Patients frequently ask about the cause of their breast cancer. To answer, physicians refer to breast cancer risk factors based on medical reports. We aim to assess these risk factors for the point of view of survivors, a point of view which seems to differ from that of medical references. We ran a survey with open- and closed-ended questionnaires on patients' opinions about risks factors both for women in general and for their own case. We also collected data on their sources of information on this subject. Most patients had no opinion. The most frequently cited risk factors were stress, then genetic causes, and poor diet. Internet was the leading source of information for patients, followed by physicians and magazines. Our study highlights the mismatch between breast cancer risk factors as perceived by scientists and by survivors. Survivors tend to focus on non-controllable risk factors. Taking into account attribution theories of life events, an awareness of patient opinion may be valuable for psychological support of survivors, and it may be informative to record the way in which patients attribute causality for life events such as breast cancer and, more generally, all type of cancer.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Understanding influences on women's preferred delivery mode is vital for planning interventions to reduce cesarean rates and for ensuring that women receive correct information. Our objectives were to: determine if sources of information influencing a pregnant woman's preferred delivery mode and knowledge of cesarean indications differ by sociodemographic characteristics; to conduct a factor analysis of items related to information sources influencing this preference; and to determine if knowledge differs by information sources influencing this preference or their underlying latent constructs. METHODS: Data from a prospective cohort study conducted in Buenos Aires was analyzed. Healthy nulliparous women aged 18-35, at >32 weeks of gestation and with live, singleton pregnancies participated. The primary research questions were evaluated using Chi-square tests, factor analysis, logistic regression, and generalized estimating equations. RESULTS: A total of 382 women participated in the study. Women of lower socioeconomic status were more influenced by people, magazines and TV/movies in their mode of delivery preferences, and had poorer knowledge of cesarean indications. Sources of influence for preferred delivery mode and factors derived in factor analysis were not associated with knowledge level when considered individually or together, or when adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics, or when accounting for clustering by the hospital sector (public or private). CONCLUSIONS: Higher socioeconomic status is associated with being less influenced by people and with better knowledge of indications for cesarean delivery. Knowledge of cesarean indications was not associated with the source of information about mode of delivery preferences.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: A significant number of parents delay or refuse vaccinating their children. Incidental exposure to vaccine information (i.e., scanned information) may be an important contributor to anti-vaccine sentiment. This study examines the association between scanned information, trust in health information sources and vaccine safety concerns among African American, Mexican American, and non-Hispanic White women. METHODS: Women (N=761) in Los Angeles County were sampled via random digit dial and surveyed regarding use of and trust in health information resources and vaccine safety concerns. RESULTS: Analyses indicate that the sources of information associated with vaccine safety concerns varied by ethnicity. Each ethnic group exhibited different patterns of association between trust in health information resources and vaccine safety concerns. CONCLUSIONS: Information scanning is associated with beliefs about vaccine safety, which may lead parents to refuse or delay vaccinating their children. These relationships vary by ethnicity. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: These findings help inform practitioners and policy makers about communication factors that influence vaccine safety concerns. Knowing these sources of information will equip practitioners to better identify women who may have been exposed to anti-vaccine messages and counter these beliefs with effective, vaccine-promoting messages via the most relevant information sources.

RESUMO

Con el objetivo de evaluar las habilidades en el uso y manejo de las bases de datos disponibles en la Red del Sistema Nacional de Salud y establecer estrategias a partir de los resultados alcanzados, se aplicó una encuesta de competencias informacionales a 7 profesores y 11 estudiantes de la carrera Licenciatura en Tecnología de la Salud, en el perfil Medicina Transfusional, en la Facultad de Ciencias Médicas Enrique Cabrera. La encuesta identificó el estado del conocimiento sobre búsquedas bibliográficas, la utilización de las fuentes de información y el acceso a las tecnologías de la información. Se tuvieron en cuenta los aspectos éticos, y se protegió en todo momento la identidad de los entrevistados. Los resultados de la experiencia demuestran que la mayoría de los profesores conocen y usan las bases de datos PUBMED e HINARI, de ellos 16,7 por ciento requiere del apoyo de un especialista; los alumnos tienen un total desconocimiento de las bases de datos cuya consulta facilita Infomed. Los docentes y los alumnos desconocen la existencia de la base de datos DYNAMED, mientras que el buscador más conocido y visitado por estos es Google. Se concluye que existe una deficiente competencia informacional. A partir de los resultados alcanzados se recomienda desarrollar habilidades mediante talleres y otras actividades curriculares de alfabetización informacional(AU)

The paper aims to explore the students' and faculty's abilities in the use of data bases available in the Health System Network. An informational competence survey to 7 teachers and 11 students of the Health Technologies program (Transfusional Medicine branch) was applied in Enrique Cabrera Faculty of Medicine. The survey identified the knowledge about bibliography search and usage of information sources. Ethics procedures, such as anonymity, were followed. The results show that most of the professors know and use the data bases PUBMED e HINARI. 16.7 percent of them require the help of a specialist. On the other hand, students showed total ignorance of the data bases available in Infomed. Teachers and students do not use nor know DYNAMED database; meanwhile the more visited search engine is Google. We can conclude that there is a deficient informational competence so we recommend developing information related abilities through workshops and other curricula activities(AU)

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: El propósito de este trabajo estuvo orientado a que la información obtenida incentivara la implementación de nuevos programas de educación en sexualidad para esta población, especialmente diseñados para la prevención del embarazo en la adolescencia. MÉTODOS: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo y transversal para determinar las principales fuentes de información sobre educación sexual que tienen los adolescentes estudiantes de enfermería del nivel básico de la escuela hospital "Dr. Salvador Allende", en La Habana. RESULTADOS: Las principales vías por las cuales los adolescentes consideraron que recibían información sobre educación sexual para prevenir el embarazo fueron, en primer lugar, los medios de comunicación masiva, que correspondió al 92 por ciento (604) de los encuestados. En segundo lugar los amigos, con el 70 por ciento (456) y en tercer lugar los profesores (63,2 por ciento). Los encuestados prefirieron recibir educación sexual preferentemente de la familia (93,75 por ciento); en segundo lugar de los amigos (69,82 por ciento) y en tercer lugar en la escuela (49,85). El 44 por ciento escogió a la comunidad de los clubes y, por último, la literatura impresa, la cual alcanzó el 37, por ciento en la preferencia. Solo el 12 por ciento de los encuestados se comunicaba con los padres frecuentemente sobre los temas de sexualidad, el 57 por ciento lo hacía con poca frecuencia y el 30 por ciento nunca lo hacía. DISCUSIÓN: Se profundiza en la información desagregada por sexo. Las fuentes de información que preferirían los adolescentes no se corresponden con las más accesibles para ellos. A pesar de considerar a la familia como fuente de preferencia, han recibido poca información de los padres. Los exponentes de atención primaria de salud no son percibidos como fuente de información. CONCLUSIONES: Debe reforzarse el rol educativo y afectivo entre padres y adolescentes, lo que posibilitará una mejor comunicación entre ellos.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of present paper was aimed to motivate the implementation of new sexuality programs in this type of population especially those designed to prevent the pregnancy in adolescence according to information obtained. METHODS: A cross-sectional and descriptive study was conducted to determine the main sources of information on the sexual education of adolescents studying nursing at basic level in the school of the «Salvador Allende¼ Hospital in La Habana. RESULTS: The main ways by which the adolescents received information on sexual education to prevent pregnancy were in the first place by the massive media, corresponding to the 92 percent (604) of the person polled. In the second place through friends with the 70 percent (456) and the third place by the professors (63.2 percent). The person polled preferred to receive sexual education of the family (93.75 percent); in the second place of friends (69. 82 percent) and in the third place in the school (49.85 percent). The 44 percent chose the club'community and lastly the printed literature, which achieved the 37 percent in the preference. Only the 12 percent of person polled had a frequent communication with the parents on the sexuality subjects, the 57 percent had not much communication and the 30 percent never done it. DISCUSSION: It is deepen in the information disintegrated by sex. The information sources of preferred by adolescent is not in correspondence with the more accessible for them. Despite the adolescents considered that family is the source of preference, they had not received much information of parents. The prime examples of primary health care are not considered as information source. CONCLUSIONS: It is necessary to emphasize the educational and affective role among between parents and adolescents to facilitate a better communication between them.

RESUMO

CONTEXTO: O diagnóstico de TDAH em crianças e adolescentes, segundo os critérios do DSM-IV, requer que os sintomas estejam presentes em, ao menos, dois ambientes distintos (principalmente escola e casa). Apesar da importância do relato de pais e professores, esse tema tem sido pouco investigado no Brasil. OBJETIVO: Investigar a concordância entre os relatos de pais e professores de uma amostra clínica de crianças e adolescentes com diagnóstico de TDAH. MÉTODOS: A amostra era composta por 44 crianças e adolescentes com idades variando entre 6 e 16 anos (40 meninos e 4 meninas), com diagnóstico clínico de TDAH. Foram comparadas as respostas de pais e professores no questionário SNAP-IV, visando a calcular taxas de concordância entre diferentes fontes de informação para sintomas de TDAH. RESULTADOS: Concordância para o diagnóstico de TDAH ocorreu em aproximadamente metade dos casos; pais relataram mais sintomas de TDAH que professores. CONCLUSÃO: Os achados aqui apresentados podem mostrar que informações acerca da sintomatologia de TDAH não são bem divulgadas para professores brasileiros, indicando a necessidade de se investir em sessões educacionais sobre o transtorno, tendo em vista a importância do relato de profissionais de educação para o diagnóstico de TDAH.

BACKGROUND: ADHD diagnosis in children and adolescents according to DSM-IV criteria demands symptoms to be present in at least two different settings (mainly school and home). Despite the importance in obtaining parents' and teachers' reports, this issue is seldom investigated in Brazil. OBJECTIVE: We set to evaluate agreement rates between parents' and teachers' reports from a Brazilian clinical sample of children and adolescents with ADHD. METHODS: The sample comprised 44 children and adolescents with age range between 6 and 16 years old (boys: 40; girls: 4) with a clinical diagnosis of ADHD. We compared parents' and teachers' responses in SNAP-IV questionnaire in order to calculate agreement rates among different information sources on ADHD symptomatology. RESULTS: Agreement for ADHD diagnosis occurred in nearly half of the sample, with parents' reporting more ADHD symptomatology than teachers. CONCLUSION: Our findings might suggest that recognition of ADHD symptomatology is less clear-cut among school teachers in Brazil, indicating that some educational sessions about this condition should be conducted in schools, taking into consideration the importance of education professionals' reports to diagnose ADHD.

RESUMO

As fontes de informação jurídica são representadas pela doutrina, legislação e jurisprudência. Na literatura da Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação não há trabalhos que sistematizem o ato da leitura documentária dessas fontes. Partindo deste pressuposto a presente pesquisa projetou os seguintes objetivos: fornecer subsídios que auxiliem os bibliotecários no acesso e compreensão dos conceitos que permeiam a ciência jurídica; detalhar as características das fontes de informação jurídica, e desenvolver modelo estratégico de leitura técnica da fonte de informação jurisprudencial. Inicialmente, exploraram-se aspectos cognitivos que influenciam o ato de ler. Posteriormente, demonstrou-se a importância da Terminologia e da Lingüística Documentária ao oferecem instrumentos que auxiliam o bibliotecário no conhecimento da terminologia e compreensão das definições da área do Direito, a primeira produzindo a compilação dos termos; a segunda, estruturando e sistematizando os campos conceituais nas áreas de especialidade. Finalizando essa etapa exibiram-se conceitos da indexação e das linguagens documentárias. Prosseguindo com a pesquisa apresentaram-se definições da Ciência do Direito, destacando a estrutura textual dos acórdãos, das leis e dos pareceres jurídicos. Na seqüencia, iniciou-se o desenvolvimento do modelo de leitura técnica jurisprudencial com a exibição de conceitos referentes à dinâmica processual, em especial os procedimentos recursais no âmbito do Superior Tribunal de Justiça - STJ. Na fase de aplicação dos modelos utilizaram-se recursos especiais - RESPs, publicados na Revista Eletrônica da Jurisprudência do STJ...

Innitially, cognition aspects that influence the act of reading were explored. Later, the importance of terminology and documentary linguistics was demonstrated by offering the librarian useful tools to the understanding of the terminology and definitions of the Law field, firstly by producing a compilation of the terms and then by structuring and systematizing conceptual fields in the specific areas. This stage of the research ends by displaying concepts of the index process and documentary languages.

RESUMO

Con la aparición de los diarios online comenzó a hablarse del concepto de periodismo digital como una nueva forma de hacer periodismo. Sin embargo, si se hace una revisión de la denominada Teoría Periodística, se advierte que sólo se trata del retorno a la génesis del periodismo que habla de la obligación del periodista de investigar, escribir en forma clara y breve, contextualizar y manejar múltiples fuentes para presentar todas las caras de la moneda. En síntesis, y atendiendo la clasificación de José Luis Martínez Albertos, podríamos estar hablando de una cuarta etapa del periodismo moderno: la del periodismo global.

With the appearance of online journals a new concept, digital journalism, came up as a new form of reporting journalism. Nevertheless, if we review theoretical journalism we notice that that it is only a return to the genesis of journalism, which speaks about the obligation of the reporter to investigate, to write in a clear an brief way, contextualizing and consulting several sources in order to present all the faces of the medal. Hence, and attending the classification made by José Luis Martínez Albertos, we could be speaking about a fourth stage of modern journalism: global journalism.
