The French enlightenment thinkers are recognized in the history of European scientific thought, appearing in school textbooks. However, contemporary Hispanic scholars of that time have been rescued by their intellectual height recently, since the nineties. The scientific production of the Universalist School is analyzed in the form of a bibliometric review, with special emphasis on the figure of Juan Andrés. The scientific articles are searched in two databases: Web of Science and Dialnet. The results provide a sample of 51 articles from 2001 to 2020 by 15 researchers, mostly Hispanic and male, among whom Astorgano Abajo and Aullón de Haro stand out. The articles are classified in humanities works of the type of historical reconstruction and philological hermeneutics in journals not only in the humanities, but also in the social sciences. Most of them are of a specialized nature on authors of this school or on specific issues. It is concluded that these topics have been scientifically consolidated by their persistence, deepening, extension, quality, diffusion and by arousing a transdisciplinary interest.

Introduction: Ustekinumab emerges as a therapeutic alternative in Crohn’s disease in patients with anti-TNF failure. However, on many occasions, it is common to have to reduce/shorten their administration times to avoid therapeutic failure. The objective of this systematic review is to evaluate the effectiveness of ustekinumab intensification by shortening its therapeutic interval. Method: A systematic review of the literature based on the guidelines of the PRISMA statement was performed. The Medline, Embase and Web of Science databases were consulted, including studies with adults diagnosed with moderate or severe Crohn’s disease who had undergone a change in ustekinumab dosage as an intervention by shortening the interval to every 4 weeks. Results: Five articles were included, one of them being a systematic review. At 6 months, clinical remission rates of around 45% are shown, an average reduction of 3 points in the Harvey Bradshaw index over baseline, as well as a normalization of CRP levels in 21% of patients. Conclusions: The results support the use of ustekinumab interval shortening as an effective and useful therapeutic option for patients with loss of response to the usual regimen. However, it is recommended to carry out new studies of experimental design that increase the level of existing evidence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectives: To present a case of uterine necrosis following hemostatic suturing to control postpartum bleeding, and to review the literature in order to identify the suture techniques employed, clinical findings, diagnostics and treatment in the clinical cases described. Material and methods: A 34-year-old woman presenting with abdominal pain eight days after cesarean delivery due to placenta previa who required B-Lynch compression suture due to uterine atony, and who was diagnosed with uterine necrosis. The patient underwent total abdominal hysterectomy with a satisfactory recovery. A systematic literature search was conducted in the Medline vía Pubmed, Embase and Web of Science databases. The search included case series and reports, and cohorts of women with uterine necrosis following the use of uterine compression sutures for postpartum bleeding. The analysis included sociodemographic and clinical variables at the time of diagnosis, suturing technique, diagnostic tests and treatment. Results: Overall, 23 studies with 24 patients were included. Of all necrosis cases, 83% occurred following cesarean section. B-Lynch was the suturing technique most frequently used (66 %), followed by the Cho suture (25 %). The most frequent symptoms were fever and abdominal pain. The most commonly used diagnostic test was computed tomography (9/24 cases). Hysterectomy was performed in the majority of cases (75 %). Conclusions: Although rare, uterine wall necrosis is a serious complication. It would be advisable to design follow-up cohort studies of women undergoing these procedures in order to determine the incidence of associated complications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To analyze the scientific production related to the knowledge, attitudes and practices on dental health of parents in relation to COVID-19. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was carried out in the scientific database of Web of Science. Results: Six documents published in high impact journals (Q1, Q2, Q3) were analyzed, identifying the countries, journals, institutions with the highest production, collaboration indexes and key word co-occurrences. Conclusion: The scarce production registered in Web of Science on the subject of the study promotes opportunities for future research adapted to the context of different countries and cultures. In addition, the documents establish that most parents were unaware of the transmission by close contact with asymptomatic patients and the risk during dental practices, accepting practices of self-medication of prescribed medicines, attitudes that influenced the decision of whether or not to take their children for dental consultation.

Due to the increase in neurodivergent students in higher education and the strengthening of the neurodiversity paradigm as a social movement, academic libraries must consider these users. The objective of the present study was to identify - through a systematic literature review - the actions that academic libraries have implemented in collections and services to address the need to include neurodivergence, focusing especially on diagnoses of dyslexia, attention deficit and hyperactivity, and autism spectrum disorder. A bibliographic search was conducted in the databases Web of Science, Scopus, Taylor & Francis, E-LIS, EBSCO, Jstor, Wiley, Network of Latin American Repositories, Web of Science, Scopus, SpringerLink y and Emerald. Out of the 799 initial results, 36 final papers were selected to review. It may be concluded that the actions carried out by academic libraries are diverse and heterogeneous, both in their conception and in their execution, and vary widely depending on the institution in which the library is framed. Services have been the elements most adapted to neurodivergent users, while collections are the least considered when taking inclusion actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article reviews the international state of the art of research on the development of scientific thinking in secondary school students. In order to systematize the research perspectives of scientific publications in this field into thematic areas and conceptual approaches, an analytical literature review was carried out by mapping the bibliographic information of research articles about this topic published between 2011 and 2021 and indexed in the Redalyc, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. The results describe the relationship between three conceptual approaches (i.e., political perspective, pedagogicaldidactic perspective, and philosophical perspective) and eleven thematic areas. They also reveal the existing interest of secondary education in operationalizing scientific thinking and strengthening the development of skills, abilities, attitudes, and competences using pedagogical and didactic strategies articulated with political and curricular guidelines. This should enable students to apprehend general and particular domains of science and contribute to the construction of a global scientific culture. It is concluded that the development of high school students' scientific thinking should be consistent with their social, political, and ethical needs and deepen their conceptual understanding, due to its historical, complex, and multidisciplinary nature.

The aim of this article is to present a bibliometric analysis on the use that Machine Learning (ml) techniques have had in the process of predicting business bankruptcy through the review of the Web of Science database. This exercise provides information on the initiation and adaptation process of such techniques. For this, the different ml techniques applied in the bankruptcy prediction model are identified. As a result, 327 documents are obtained, of which they are classified by performance evaluation measure, the area under the curve (Auc) and precision (Acc), these being the most used in the classification process. In addition, the relationship between researchers, institutions and countries with the largest number of applications of this type is identified. The results show how the xgboost, svm, Smote, rF and D algorithms present a much greater predictive capacity than traditional methodologies; focused on a time horizon before the event given its greater precision. Similarly, financial and non-financial variables contribute favorably to said estimate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article presents a scientometric study of the scientific production involving searches for the concepts of "social crises" and "international security" between 1978 and 2019. A total of 222 articles published in the Web of Science database were analyzed to establish the most cited articles, the most influential authors, the journals with the highest recognition in the subject, and the institutions and countries with the highest productivity and impact. The bibliometric map presented suggests nine clusters referring to security, politics, and crises. Based on the results, it is concluded that both topics are an incipient area of scientific production, with little collaboration between authors and institutions, showing that there are potential lines of development for this increasingly strategic topic.

In the last decades, the number of researches on suicidal behavior in childhood and adolescence has increased, however, there are no studies at present that characterize the scientific production in research perspectives. The objective of this article is to carry out a systematic review of the main perspectives of study on suicidal behavior in children and adolescents, emphasizing the main risk factors at the biopsychosocial level, clinical predictors and explanatory models. The bibliographic search was carried out in the Web of Science database. For the management of the information, a citation and clustering analysis was carried out by means of graph theory. The tools Sci2 Tool and Gephi were used. Three dominant research orientations were found focused on the analysis of psychiatric predictors of suicidal behavior (1), the relationship between non-suicidal selfinjury and suicidal behavior (2) and child abuse and its relationship with suicidal behavior (3). It is hoped that this study will contribute to the understanding of the multiple research questions about suicidal behavior in childhood and adolescence. At the same time, the methodology used enriches the field of study by accurately reflecting its current status at the research level. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article compares the scientific production of Peru and Ecuador between 2009 and 2018. Documents with at least one Peruvian or Ecuadorian affiliation were retrieved from the Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Sciences Citation Index, Arts & Humanities Citation Index and Emerging Sources Citation Index of the Web of Science database. The trend and exponential growth of scientific production were evaluated, more productive institutions and thematic areas were identified. The intellectual structure of the Peruvian and Ecuadorian scientific production was studied by means of the authors bibliographic-coupling analysis (ABCA) and the authors co-citation analysis (ACA). The results show that Peru has greater accumulated production than Ecuador. However, Ecuador has more production in the last three years, even with a forecast to continue producing more than Peru. The most productive institutions in both countries are the universities, and the most productive subject categories for Peru are occupational and environmental health, and for Ecuador they are educational research and environmental sciences.

Objective: To describe the factors that influence the emergence of moral distress in oncology nurses. Methodology: integrative review of the literature whose search will be performed in Web of Science databases, CINAHL (EBSCO), Scielo, Proquest, Pubmed and PsycInfo using the keywords moral distress and oncology nursing and their similes in Spanish, without restriction for years of publication until 2017. Results: The results of this review were grouped into three groups of factors each with subgroups: 1) Organizational factors: ethical climate, evasive culture and resources for ethics delivered by the organization. 2) Particular clinical situations: pain management, information delivery, futile treatment, and assistance to the patient and their family in the process of death, 3) Interpersonal relationships: poor communication, power relations, trust in the team's competence. Conclusion: the three factors described are triggers of moral distress in oncology nurses. When there are ethical problems and the nurses do not participate in the deliberation process, these problems can be hidden and be normalized, which can diminish the moral sensitivity of the professionals, as well as the possibility of acting as moral agents.
