RESUMO

This study has as objectives to determine the concentration and diversity of the air- and dustborne mycobiota in seven National Archive of the Republic of Cuba repositories, and to assess the potential risk of biodeterioration that isolated taxa may have. In the indoor and outdoor environmental microbiological samplings a SAS biocollector was used and the indoor/outdoor (I/O) ratio was determined for each repository. The settled dust was collected during six months. Sørensen's coefficient of similarity (QS) was calculated to compare the isolated taxa among the three studied niches (indoor air, dust, outdoor air). The biodegradation potential of the isolated taxa was determined by semi-quantitative tests. The concentrations in the air of repositories with natural cross-ventilation ranged from 225.2-750.3 CFU m-3, while in the Map library with air-conditioning the concentration was significantly lower. The I/O ratios ranged from 0.1-1.7 revealing different environmental qualities. The maximum settled dust load was 22.8 mg/m2/day with a top fungal concentration of 6000 CFU g-1. 14 and eleven genera were detected in the air and dust respectively with predominance of the genera Aspergillus, Cladosporium and Penicillium. A QS of 0.8 was obtained between the indoor and the outdoor environments with eleven taxa similar evidencing the incidence of outdoors on the indoor mycobiota. The isolated taxa showed several biodeteriogenic attributes highlighting twelve and 14 taxa from indoor air and dust respectively with positive results for the five tests performed. This demonstrates the potential risk that fungal environmental represent for the preserved documentary heritage.

RESUMO

Abstract Aim: This work aims to identify the perception of school Physical Education teachers concerning the use of a digital educational resources (DERs) platform. Methods: An exploratory study was carried out with nine Physical Education teachers from different locations and teaching systems in Brazil. These teachers used some functionalities offered by MEC RED, a DERs platform provided by the Brazilian Ministry of Education, and presented their experience of use in a focus group. Results: Discussions among the participating teachers from their experience of using MEC RED led to identifying potential benefits and obstacles to using DERs in teaching Physical Education at school, motivations for using a DERs platform, and the usefulness of MEC RED in this context. Conclusion: From the participants' point of view, a DERs platform can support teachers in locating and selecting resources that could be used in their classes. MEC RED was found partially suited to these teachers mainly because it presents low availability of DERs related to school Physical Education, which may demobilize the use of this platform. The findings of this study can contribute to understanding the needs of school Physical Education teachers to create, use, and share DERs, promote a collaborative culture among them, and structure better DERs platforms.

RESUMO

There has been an important global interest in Open Science, which include open data and methods, in addition to open access publications. It has been proposed that public availability of raw data increases the value and the possibility of confirmation of scientific findings, in addition to the potential of reducing research waste. Availability of raw data in open repositories facilitates the adequate development of meta-analysis and the cumulative evaluation of evidence for specific topics. In this commentary, we discuss key elements about data sharing in open repositories and we invite researchers around the world to deposit their data in them.

RESUMO

Este estudo realiza uma reflexão sobre a preservação de documentos arquivísticos digitais em uma perspectiva sistêmica, pautada em padrões reconhecidos pela literatura científica. De tal forma, utiliza-se da visão holística para ressaltar a pertinência da preservação ser pensada em todo o ciclo de vida dos documentos. A metodologia parte do levantamento bibliográfico composto por artigos, livros e publicações técnicas, para assim, obter uma revisão narrativa. Ressalta-se que a preservação digital tem evoluído para novos patamares e requer o uso de padrões para implementar sistemas informatizados confiáveis. Com isso, pode-se envolver todo o ciclo vital em uma cadeia de custódia ininterrupta capaz de assegurar a autenticidade dos documentos digitais. Por fim, defende-se uma abordagem sistêmico-holística, em que os documentos são planejados e produzidos tendo em vista a preservação e o acesso em longo prazo.

This study reflects on the preservation of digital archival records from a systemic perspective, based on standards recognized by scientific literature. In such a way, it uses a holistic view to emphasize the relevance of preservation to be considered throughout the life cycle of records. The methodology is based on a bibliographic survey composed of articles, books, and technical publications, to obtain a narrative review. It is noteworthy that digital preservation has evolved to new heights, and requires the use of standards to implement reliable computer systems. With this, the entire life cycle can be involved in an uninterrupted chain of custody capable of ensuring the authenticity of digital records. Finally, a systemic-holistic approach is advocated, in which records are planned and produced with a view of the preservation and access in the long-term.

Este estudio reflexiona sobre la preservación de los documentos de archivo digital en una perspectiva sistémica, basada en normas y estándares reconocidos por la literatura científica. De esta manera, utiliza la visión holística para enfatizar la relevancia de la preservación a ser considerada a lo largo del ciclo de vida de los documentos. La metodología se basa en una encuesta bibliográfica compuesta de artículos, libros y publicaciones técnicas, para obtener una revisión narrativa. Es de destacar que la preservación digital ha evolucionado a nuevas alturas y requiere el uso de estándares para implementar sistemas informáticos confiables. Con esto, todo el ciclo de vida puede involucrarse en una cadena de custodia ininterrumpida capaz de garantizar la autenticidad de los documentos digitales. Finalmente, se aboga por un enfoque holístico-sistémico, en que los documentos se planifican y producen con miras la preservación y acceso a largo plazo.

RESUMO

Open access policies have been progressing since the beginning of this century. Important global initiatives, both public and private, have set the tone for what we understand by open access. The emergence of tools and web platforms for open access (both legal and illegal) have placed the focus of the discussion on open access to knowledge, both for academics and for the general public, who finance such research through their taxes, particularly in Latin America. This historically unnoticed discussion must, we believe, be discussed publicly, given the characteristics of the Latin American scientific community, as well as its funding sources. This article includes an overview of what is meant by open access and describes the origins of the term, both in its philosophical sense and in its practical sense, expressed in the global declarations of Berlin and Bethesda. It also includes the notion of open access managed (or not) by some reputable institutions in Chile, such as CONICYT (National Commission for Scientific and Technological Research) and higher education institutions reputed nationally, such as the Universdad de Chile and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Various Latin American initiatives related to open access (Scielo, Redalyc, among others) are described, as well as the presence of Chilean documents in those platforms. The national institutional repositories are listed, as well as their current status and a discussion about what open access has implied in Latin America and its importance for the replicability of the investigations carried out locally. Finally, we describe some governmental initiatives (mainly legislative) at the Latin American level and propose some recommendations regarding the promotion and implementation of repositories for the access to scientific data (for access and replication purposes) of the national research.

RESUMO

According to the World Health Organization, more than 1 billion people are at risk of or are affected by neglected tropical diseases. Examples of such diseases include trypanosomiasis, which causes sleeping sickness; leishmaniasis; and Chagas disease, all of which are prevalent in Africa, South America, and India. Our aim within the New Medicines for Trypanosomatidic Infections project was to use (1) synthetic and natural product libraries, (2) screening, and (3) a preclinical absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion-toxicity (ADME-Tox) profiling platform to identify compounds that can enter the trypanosomatidic drug discovery value chain. The synthetic compound libraries originated from multiple scaffolds with known antiparasitic activity and natural products from the Hypha Discovery MycoDiverse natural products library. Our focus was first to employ target-based screening to identify inhibitors of the protozoan Trypanosoma brucei pteridine reductase 1 ( TbPTR1) and second to use a Trypanosoma brucei phenotypic assay that made use of the T. brucei brucei parasite to identify compounds that inhibited cell growth and caused death. Some of the compounds underwent structure-activity relationship expansion and, when appropriate, were evaluated in a preclinical ADME-Tox assay panel. This preclinical platform has led to the identification of lead-like compounds as well as validated hits in the trypanosomatidic drug discovery value chain.

RESUMO

The peer-review system has allowed the quality control of the manuscripts submitted for publication to scientific journals for over three centuries. However, due to its relative slowness and other drawbacks, some researchers, mainly in the areas of Physics and Mathematics, started some decades ago to propagate, by electronic means, manuscripts not yet submitted to a journal for formal publication. The dissemination of this practice led to the establishment of permanent repositories like ArXiv, to which preprints can be sent to be published whitou charge, allowing also the search and download of the works they contain with no payment required from the reader. In biomedical sciences, the adoption of the system has been slower than in the exact sciences and previous attempts like e-biomed, Netprints, and Nature Precedings did not prosper. A new generation of repositories like bioRXiv, inspired by ArXiv, seems to enjoy an increasing acceptance among biomedical researchers. Here, we discuss the potential role of this emerging system to establish discovery priority in biomedicine and to improve manuscripts before they are submitted to scientific journals besides other applications which could be implemented in the extent that the model becomes more popular.

La revisión por pares es un sistema que ha permitido el control de calidad de los manuscritos enviados para publicación en revistas científicas durante más de tres siglos. Sin embargo, debido a su relativa lentitud y otras desventajas, algunos investigadores (principalmente en las áreas de la física y las matemáticas) iniciaron hace algunas décadas la difusión electrónica de manuscritos aún no sometidos a una revista de publicación formal. La popularización de esta práctica condujo al establecimiento de repositorios permanentes como ArXiv, a los que es posible enviar preimpresiones de forma gratuita y que a la vez permiten la búsqueda y descarga de los trabajos que contienen sin cargo para el lector. En las ciencias biomédicas la adopción de este sistema ha sido más lenta que en las ciencias exactas e intentos previos como e-biomed, Netprints y Nature Precedings no prosperaron. Una nueva generación de repositorios como bioRXiv, inspirado en ArXiv, parece gozar de una creciente aceptación entre investigadores biomédicos. Aquí discutimos el potencial papel de este sistema emergente para establecer la primicia de descubrimientos en biomedicina y el mejoramiento de manuscritos antes de su sometimiento a revistas científicas, así como para otras aplicaciones que podrían implementarse en la medida en que el modelo se popularice.

RESUMO

Se realizó un estudio con el objetivo de determinar qué proporción de la producción científica de autores cubanos registrada en Scopus en el período 2010-2014 está disponible en acceso abierto y proponer acciones para incrementar el acceso y el uso de los resultados de la ciencia cubana. Las revistas donde publicaron los autores cubanos fueron clasificadas según su modelo de acceso y sus políticas de autoarchivo, con el fin de determinar la proporción de artículos en acceso abierto real (ruta dorada) y potencial (ruta verde). Se evidenció que el 62,7 % de la producción científica cubana se encuentra disponible a través de revistas de acceso abierto, lo que sitúa al país en una situación ventajosa para la difusión de sus resultados de investigación a través de esta vía. Se mostró también que el 66,8 % de los 3 239 artículos publicados en revistas que no son de acceso abierto pueden hacerse públicos mediante la ruta verde, ya que estas revistas permiten el autoarchivo del post-print. La sensibilización y la capacitación de los autores sobre el acceso abierto, la adopción de políticas institucionales de autoarchivo, el desarrollo de una infraestructura de repositorios digitales de acceso abierto y el asesoramiento a los editores de revistas científicas nacionales en aspectos relacionados con políticas de propiedad intelectual y licencias Creative Commons se encuentran entre las principales acciones que se proponen para incrementar el acceso y el uso de los resultados de investigación en el país.

A study was conducted to determine what proportion of the scientific production by Cuban authors registered in Scopus in the period 2010-2014 is available by open access, and propose actions to increase access to and use of the results obtained by Cuban science. The journals containing studies published by Cuban authors were classified according to their access model and their self-archiving policies, with the aim of determining the proportion of actual open access papers (golden route) and potential open access papers (green route). It was found that 62.7 % of the Cuban scientific production is available in open access journals, placing the country in an advantageous position in the dissemination of research results by this means. It was also found that 66.8% of the 3 239 papers published in non-open access journals may be made public via the green route, for these journals allow post-print self-archiving. Sensitization and training of authors about open access, adoption of institutional self-archiving policies, development of an infrastructure of digital open access repositories, and advice to editors of national scientific journals in topics related to intellectual property and Creative Commons licenses, are among the main actions proposed to increase access to and use of research results in the country.

RESUMO

El presente trabajo muestra un estudio de 58 fuentes de acceso abierto correspondientes a 14 países de América Latina y el Caribe. Se busca identificar algunos problemas relacionados con la estandarización del protocolo OAI-PMH en los repositorios de acceso abierto en América Latina y el Caribe y cómo estos afectan la distribución de contenidos. El objetivo que el trabajo persigue es identificar las limitantes que afectan el intercambio de contenidos entre fuentes de acceso abierto en América Latina y el Caribe mediante el estudio de repositorios institucionales y de revistas de corte científico que hacen función de proveedores de datos. Las fuentes seleccionadas responden a revistas de corte científico y a repositorios de universidades. El estudio fue realizado con el empleo del software OHS (Open Harvester System) y tiene en cuenta aspectos como la tecnología empleada, los estándares de metadatos y la forma de representación de la información, además del uso de los verbos que establece el protocolo OAI-PMH. Se hizo una observación del funcionamiento de algunos repositorios de acceso abierto y se probaron las respuestas de estos ante las peticiones de los verbos. Los resultados obtenidos muestran diversidad, tanto tecnológica como en la forma de aplicar los estándares, y reflejan algunas de las problemáticas a las que se enfrenta el movimiento de acceso abierto en el área de estudio y cómo esto afecta la interoperabilidad necesaria para automatizar el intercambio de contenidos.

A review was conducted of 58 open access sources from 14 Latin American and Caribbean countries, with the purpose of identifying problems related to the standardization of the OAI-PMH protocol in Latin American and Caribbean open access repositories, as well as the way in which these problems affect the distribution of contents. The study was aimed at identifying the limitations affecting the exchange of contents between Latin American and Caribbean open access sources through the study of institutional repositories and scientific journals which perform the function of data providers. The sources selected were scientific journals and university repositories. The study was based on the software OHS (Open Harvester System) and considered aspects such as the technology used, metadata standards and the manner in which information was represented, besides the verbs established by the OAI-PMH protocol. The functioning of some open access repositories was observed and tests were conducted of their response to the requests of verbs. Results show diversity both in the technology and in the way standards are applied, as well as some of the problems faced by the open access movement in the study area and their impact on the interoperability required to automate the exchange of contents.

RESUMO

Dada la necesidad de perfeccionar el sitio web UVS-Fajardo para que permitiera la inclusión de un repositorio de Recursos Educativos Abiertos, según criterios específicos de las carreras y especialidades de ciencias médicas que se imparten en la Facultad Manuel Fajardo; se llevó a cabo una investigación con el objetivo de: realizar las adaptaciones al software Drupal en función del repositorio de Recursos Educativos Abiertos; establecer una taxonomía para los contenidos de la Universidad Virtual; e implementar un repositorio de recursos de aprendizaje e investigación. Como resultado se diseñó una taxonomía según tipo de recursos, con 8 taxones y 250 palabras que se añadieron a la clasificación LOM. Como consecuencia de la adaptación del software Drupal como base del repositorio y después de un proceso de preparación, se incrementó la producción a 644 recursos de aprendizaje y 99 de investigación. Se logró la adaptación de plantillas, metadatos y sistemas de recopilación y búsqueda. Se determinó la taxonomía a utilizar en la UVS basado en la teoría de objetos de aprendizaje y contextualizado a las características del centro docente. Se concluye que el repositorio implementado posee una lógica de organización académica que garantiza el depósito y búsqueda de forma rápida y eficiente; así como la preservación, reutilización, actualización y evaluación de los materiales digitales producidos(AU)

Documentary analysis technique was used to provide theoretical criteria for the formulation and design of the proposal. The analysis synthesis method was used to structure the methodological basis for implementing the repository, the normative documents for open access are reviewed, and guidelines for their creation. Are reported as the repository structure from the main areas: selection of documentary typology to include and structure of the contents; workflows and responsibility of the participants. The DSpace open source software as computer platform was selected by the advantages of its configuration. Metadata models combined with tools such as the OAI-PMH protocol for interoperability and integration into global networks are used. The outreach strategy, linking institutional factors and promote their use at national and international level is set. They arrived at conclusions about that with the implementation of RI-UNPHU intended that the University is integrated to the rising group of Dominican repositories, and contributes to the creation of a national network of repositories with greater presence in global networks facilitate the visibility of the research conducted in Dominican Republic.

O objetivo deste trabalho é expor a proposta para o desenvolvimento e implementação do repositório institucional da Universidade Nacional "Pedro Henríquez Ureña" (RI-UNPHU), como alternativa para o acesso e visibilidade da sua produção científica e académica. Utilizou-se a técnica da análise documental para dispor de critérios teóricos para a formulação e o desenho da proposta. Empregou-se o método de análise síntese para estruturar as bases metodológicas de implementação do repositório, revisaram-se os documentos normativos para o acesso aberto, e diretrizes para a sua criação. Como resultados se mostra a estrutura do repositório a partir dos eixos principais: seleção da tipologia documental a incluir e a estrutura dos conteúdos; os fluxos de trabalho e a responsabilidade dos participantes. Identificou-se o software de código aberto Dspace como plataforma informática, pelas vantagens que oferece a sua configuração. Determinou-se que utilizar-se-ão os modelos de metadatos combinados com ferramentas como o protocolo OAI-PMH, para a sua interoperabilidade e integração a redes globais. Estabeleceu-se a estratégia de divulgação, que vincula os fatores institucionais e promova o seu uso a nível nacional e internacional. Conclui-se que com a implementação de RI-UNPHU, se pretende que a Universidade se integre ao naciente grupo de repositórios dominicanos, e coadyuve à criação de uma rede nacional de repositórios com maior presença nas redes mundiais para facilitar a visibilidade das investigações desarrollado em República Dominicana.

RESUMO

Los repositorios constituyen sistemas de información que tienen como finalidad organizar, preservar y difundir en el modo acceso abierto (Open Access) recursos científicos y académicos de las instituciones. En Cuba, y particularmente la red de Infomed, ha propiciado la elaboración de estos sistemas con el objetivo de garantizar un acceso fácil, controlado y estandarizado de determinados recursos informativos. Este trabajo tiene como propósito profundizar en la importancia de los repositorios en el Sistema Nacional de Salud. A tales efectos se analizaron algunos elementos relacionados con el acceso abierto y las plataformas más utilizadas para la creación de los repositorios como el CWIS (Campus Wide Information System), así como las ventajas y desventajas de esta herramienta.

Repositories constitute information systems which have as purpose to organize, preserve and diffuse the scientific and academic resources of the institutions in Open Access. In Cuba, and particularly Infomed network, has propitiated the implementation of these systems with the objective of guaranteeing an easy, controlled and standardized access of certain informative resources. The purpose of this work is to deepen in the importance of repositories in the National Health System. To achieve this, some elements related to the open access and the most used platforms for the implementation of repositories such as CWIS (Campus Wide Information System), as well as the advantages and disadvantages of this tool were analyzed.

RESUMO

El cambio educativo hacia un modelo acorde con el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior y la aparición de nuevos entornos virtuales de aprendizaje han propiciado el desarrollo de herramientas de transmisión del conocimiento denominadas objetos de aprendizaje. El presente artículo pretende establecer una panorámica de la definición y naturaleza de estos, los repositorios existentes y los programas informáticos disponibles para su creación.

The educational change to a model in agreement with the European Space of the Higher Education (ESHE) and the appearance of new virtual learning environments allowed the development of tools of knowledge transmission called learning tools. The aim of resent paper is to establish a panorama of the definition and origin of such tools, the available repositories and the information program also available for its creation.
