RESUMO

Background: Private universities in Peru still need to implement digital transformation models to enhance the job performance of faculty and staff, achieving consistent improvement in the performance levels of university teachers by deploying technological and didactic tools for students. Therefore, the study aims to determine the relationship between digital transformation and the job performance of employees at a Private University. Methods: The research approach was quantitative, employing a non-experimental, longitudinal correlational design. The technique used was a survey, applied to a sample of 104 employees (school heads, faculty, and a director) from the university on a national level from a total population of 144. Results: Descriptive results reveal that the university has regularly adopted tools related to digital transformation. In particular, it has efficiently employed agile technologies, Big Data, and various technological means, benefiting 90% (52% and 38%) of the staff. The study also showed a high positive correlation (0.92>0.7) between digital transformation and the job performance of staff at the Private University, confirming that there is a significant connection between the variables studied. Conclusions: Therefore, creating an innovative culture across all hierarchical levels and identifying key technologies that add value to the learning flow can meet the needs of an increasingly demanding society.

RESUMO

This document provides a dataset transcription and translation of unpublished texts in the P'urhépecha language. The preserved texts are of a religious nature, reflecting the evangelizing efforts of missionaries during the 17th to 19th centuries, with a specific emphasis on the initiatives undertaken by the Gilberti Project at the Center for the Study of Traditions of El Colegio de Michoacán. The investigation introduces innovative digital tools and editable resources, opening new avenues for the study and preservation of the P'urhépecha language, ensuring its relevance and accessibility for future generations. The Gilberti Project has been active for over two decades, dedicating itself to the analysis of P'urhépecha texts. Beyond its academic role, the project significantly contributes to the conservation and promotion of the p'urhépecha language in several indigenous communities in the state of Michoacán, Mexico, where the language is still alive.

RESUMO

This is a scoping review on mapping the use of digital tools to assess food consumption in Brazil. Searches were carried out in nine electronic databases (Medline, Lilacs, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Science Direct, Ovid, Free Medical Journal and Crossref) to select studies published from October 2020 to December 2023. This review identified forty-eight digital tools in the 94 publications analyzed, the most frequent being web-based technologies (60%) and mobile devices (40%). Among these studies, 55% (n = 52) adopted a population-based approach, while 45% (n = 42) focused on specific regions. The predominant study design observed was cross-sectional (n = 63). A notable trend observed was the increasing frequency of validation studies in recent years. Although the use of digital tools in the assessment of food consumption in Brazil has grown in recent years, studies did not describe the process of creating and validating the tools, which would contribute to the improvement of data quality. Investments that allow the expansion of the use of the internet and mobile devices; the improvement of digital literacy; and the development of open-access tools, especially in the North and Northeast regions, are challenges that require a concerted effort towards providing equal opportunities, fostering encouragement, and delving deeper into the potential of digital tools within studies pertaining to food consumption in Brazil.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Hoy en día, un problema latente en el proceso de aprendizaje de una lengua extranjera es la comprensión lectora. Ante este panorama, es menester identificar estrategias o medios que permitan abatirlo. Los círculos literarios mejoran ampliamente las experiencias y conocimientos de lectura de los estudiantes, dado que permiten enriquecer su bagaje léxico con uso correcto de estructuras gramaticales. El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar la influencia de los círculos literarios en el desarrollo de la lectura en extenso (LE) en ambientes virtuales, con la intención de contribuir al mejoramiento de la comprensión lectora del inglés de manera autónoma y fuera de las aulas ordinarias. Para analizar este fenómeno se realizó un estudio cuantitativo longitudinal con alcance correlacional que permitió a los investigadores identificar tres elementos principales en el proceso de aprendizaje con círculos literarios para la lectura extensiva: pedagógico, social, y técnico, así como cuatro formas de aproximación a la lectura: gráfica, oral, asociativa y analítica, donde subyacen recorridos cognitivos mediados por tecnología y procesos de internalización en un aprendizaje ubicuo que detona leer en grandes cantidades con placer, precisión, velocidad, motivación y confianza. Los hallazgos confirman la influencia de los círculos literarios en la LE aportando un modelo tecno-pedagógico para su implementación y una forma innovadora de desarrollar la LE en modalidades virtuales que contribuye a mejorar los niveles de proficiencia en la comprensión lectora.

ABSTRACT Today, a latent problem in foreign language learning is reading comprehension. Given this scenario, it is necessary to identify strategies or means to bring it down. Literary circles improve students' reading experiences and knowledge since they allow them to enrich their lexical baggage with the correct use of grammatical structures. The objective of the present study was to identify the influence of literary circles to foster extensive reading (ER) in virtual environments to improve English reading comprehension autonomously and outside ordinary classrooms. For analyzing this phenomenon, a quantitative longitudinal study with a correlational design was carried out, which helped researchers to identify three essential elements during the learning process with literary circles for extensive reading: pedagogical, social, and technical. Additionally, four ways of approaching reading were identified: graphic, oral, associative, and analytical, where technoloy-mediated cognitive pathways and internalization processes underlie ubiquitous learning that triggers reading in large quantities with pleasure, accuracy, speed, motivation, and confidence. The findings confirm the influence of literary circles in ER, providing a techno-pedagogical model for its implementation and an innovative way of developing it in virtual modalities that contributes to improving proficiency levels in reading comprehension.

RESUMO

Em humanos, o pH sanguíneo é mantido em uma faixa estreita, entre 7,35 e 7,45. Diferentes mecanismos bioquímicos, de forma harmônica, atuam para a manutenção do pH fisiológico. Múltiplos processos patológicos podem promover alterações no pH e nos gases sanguíneos, caracterizando acidose (pH <7,35) ou alcalose (pH >7,45). A ruptura da homeostasia do pH é identificada pela medição do pH, pressão parcial de dióxido de carbono (pCO2), concentração do bicarbonato (HCO3-) e, adicionalmente, com a pressão de oxigênio (pO2) em sangue arterial, processo descrito como gasometria arterial. Este artigo revisa os principais elementos associados a compreensão das alterações e tem como objetivo central apresentar uma abordagem didática e intuitiva para a caracterização destes distúrbios; e também comenta sobre ferramentais digitais destinadas a interpretações das alterações da gasometria arterial que também são abordados, como programas para computadores em ambiente web e aplicativos para telefonia móvel.

In humans, blood pH is kept in a narrow range, between 7.35 to 7.45. Different biochemical mechanisms, in a harmonic way, act to maintain the physiological pH. Multiple pathological processes can promote changes in pH and blood gases, characterizing acidosis (pH <7.35) or alkalosis (pH> 7.45). The rupture of pH homeostasis is identified by measuring pH, partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2), bicarbonate concentration (HCO3 - and, in addition, with the pressure of oxygen (pO2) in arterial blood, a process described as gasometry arterial. This article reviews the main elements associated with the understanding of acid-base changes and aims to present a didactic and intuitive approach to the characterization of these disorders; and also comments on digital tools for the interpretation of alterations in arterial blood gases are also covered, such as programs for computers in a web environment and applications for mobile phone.
