The present research was developed in the poultry production system of the "El Guayabal" University Farm; its objective was to determine the feasibility of the introduction of solar energy (photovoltaic and thermal) under the conditions of the aforementioned scenario. In the study, the theoretical-methodological foundations oriented towards the two renewable energy sources addressed in the research (solar photovoltaic and solar thermal) were considered. Among the main results obtained, it was evident that from the energy-productive diagnosis of the poultry production system under study, it was determined that the installation of a hybrid system composed of an isolated photovoltaic system made up of 160 photovoltaic panels and a solar heater, which could cover of the energy demand; in addition, it was determined that the installation of a solar dryer is not appropriate; because drying or dehydration of agricultural production is not required to feed established poultry species.

This research is aimed to determine the anaerobic bio-digestion technology suitable for a poultry production system, established at the "El Guayabal" University Farm, belonging to the Agrarian University of Havana considering economic, environmental and energy feasibility. To do this, the animal species existing (Leghorn chickens, white-breasted turkeys and free-range chickens) in the scenario are determined, given that these species will contribute sizing the organic waste to the biodigester, the number of animals is also determined, considering the herd movement, which would make it possible to determine the biomass generated daily for the purpose of establish the of the appropriate biodigester technology and know the behavior of the economic and energy parameters. Among the main results obtained, it was evident that the installation of a tubular polyethylene biodigester is more feasible than the installation of a fixed dome biodigester, meaning an economic saving of 21 418.1 peso due to technology selection; the necessary volume of this technology must be 22 m³, making it possible to produce 11.6 kg/day of biofertilizers, which represents a daily economic contribution of 145 peso/day (5.8 USD/day), constituting an added value, in addition to the energy and economic benefits to be obtained. Furthermore, with the introduction of the selected anaerobic bio-digestion technology it is possible to generate electrical energy for lighting, heating and the extraction of humid air, which requires the acquisition of a 2 kW biogas generator.

Aging is a group of morphological and physiologic modifications that appear as consequence of the time action on living beings, and imply changes in the organic systems that influence in movement. Taking into account the inadequacies detected in the preparation of comprehensive general medicine specialists to make the early diagnosis of elderly with gait disorders, it was necessary to systematize the theoretical referents that sustain the training of these professionals. In such a sense, changes in the systems of organs related to gait, clinical classification, causes and consequences are dsecribed in this work, which will help to solve this problem in primary health care.

Diabetes is a high-cost health condition that decreases the quality of life of those affected, and its complications, such as proliferative diabetic retinopathy, have become one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide (1). Objective: To explore the sociodemographic, epidemiological, and clinical characteristics of the population with diabetes and the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy. Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, analytical study, utilizing secondary data sources. The reference population consisted of patients from the Valle de Aburrá and southwestern Antioquia diagnosed with diabetes, who were part of the program “No more blindness due to diabetes” in 2018. Diabetic retinopathy was the dependent variable. The statistical tests had a 95% confidence level. Additionally, the incidence rate was calculated to measure associations, with a 95% confidence interval, and multiple logistic regression was used to explore variables contributing to the explanation of diabetic retinopathy. Results: A total of 564 patients participated. The highest incidences were observed in individuals aged 60 to 79 years (61.1%). Proliferative diabetic retinopathy was present in 2.3% (13) of them. Men had a 1.14 times higher prevalence of the disease (pr = 2.41, 95% ci: 1.30; 4.47) compared to women. Diabetic retinopathy was 53.16 times more prevalent in those with macular edema (0 = 54.16, 95% ci: 18.85; 174.07) and 6.0 times higher in those with glaucoma (pr = 7.00, 9 5% ci: 1.29; 37.97). The use of hypoglycemic agents was associated with a 68% lower prevalence of diabetic retinopathy (pr = 0.32, 95% ci: 0.12; 0.82). Conclusions: Early identification and management with hypoglycemic agents could reduce the incidence of proliferative retinopathy and, therefore, decrease its progression to blindness.

Introduction: the Encrucijada Community Mental Health Center is attended by adolescents with symptoms of video game addiction; the family influence on this problem is unknown. Objective: to describe the relationship between family characteristics and dependence on the use of video games in adolescents. Methods: a cross-sectional study was developed; 93 adolescents constituted the universe and 89 of them the sample, they were selected by non-probabilistic sampling. An interview, a video game dependency test, the test to measure family functioning and the inventory of family health problems were applied. Dependence on video games and family characteristics were defined as variables. Statistically, percentages and the Chi square test of independence were used. Results: 51.7% of adolescents presented moderate dependence on video games and 19.1% had high dependence. In adolescents from large families, 41.2% had high dependency; This dependency occurred in 30.0% of those from four-generational families, in 19.1% of those who formed extended conglomerates, in 66.7% of those who lived in severely dysfunctional groups, and in 77.8% of those who lived in severely dysfunctional groups. % of those who experienced extreme criticality. Conclusions: medium and trigenerational families, large and moderately functional, with moderate criticality, were common. Adolescents with moderate dependence on video games predominated; high dependence was unusual. The degree of dependency was related to belonging to large, four-generational, extended, severely dysfunctional families with extreme criticality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes some effects and reconfigurations in the processes and practices of the cultural sector as a result of violence derived from the territorial pacification project, which affected the Urabá region of Antioquia in the last decade of the 20th century. Based on the identification of four functions performed by the cultural sector during this period of intensification of the armed conflict, and the analysis of the articulation between the concept of territorial peace and Cultural Management. The article concludes that knowledge and practices of the cultural sector represent a viable and more effective alternative for the territorial construction of peace, in comparison with the territorial pacification project focused on order and security, which was attempted to be imposed in Urabá. Based on this analysis, the text ends with some recommendations for further research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The accelerated adoption of digital technologies to keep educational processes active during the pandemic invites investigation into its effects on teachers' digital competencies. This research article explored educational experiences mediated by Information and Communication Technologies (ict) during the closure of schools in Colombia, in order to assess their effects on teachers' abilities to integrate technology into classes and their technological knowledge. To do this, two standardized self-report instruments were applied to 1007 high school teachers. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlational analysis, and thematic analysis. The results indicate that the use of ict during remote classes greatly improved teachers' digital skills. Supporting students in the use of technologies and technological-pedagogical knowledge were the most strengthened aspects. It is concluded that the high ratings of teachers' digital competencies are consistent with the proficiency achieved in using various platforms and applications during the lockdown. However, there remain needs for training in more complex forms of teachers' digital competence that should be considered by initial and ongoing teacher preparation programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Contextualization: The aquatic-terrestrial transition zone (ZTAT) in the floodplain (alluvial plain) Ramsar Ayapel (Colombia) remains flooded for more than half of the year, and its coastal strip generates a strong influence on the ecosystem. An approach to the spatial and temporal characterization of this zone is crucial for further functional analysis, especially when tropical floodplains are little explored except for some Amazonian ecosystems. Knowledge gap: Floodplain dynamics are mainly regulated by flood pulses, directly influencing he physical and chemical conditions of water and sediment. Therefore, the biota is adapted to the flooding and waterlogging conditions of the ecosystem. However, research has addressed the terrestrial and aquatic phases as separate systems, making it necessary to resort to methodologies that demonstrate connectivity in the system and facilitate the interpretation of key factors in the ecological functioning of tropical wetlands. Purpose: The research analyzed the structure and functioning of the ZTAT through physical and chemical variables at different times of the flood pulse. Methodology: In two wetlands of the muddy complex, sensitive to the flood pulse, three samplings were carried out: rising water (July 2021), high water (September/2021), and declining water (March/2022). The ZTAT was monitored by delimiting it into four subzones: water, sediments, floodable soil, and soil. Results and conclusions: Significant changes in time associated with water level and nitrogen concentrations were revealed; while in space, assisted by the contrast of the ZTAT at the two sites, differences were reflected through in situ variables and soil characteristics. It was detected that depth, transparency, and a higher concentration of nitrogen forms, and some ions such as aluminum and magnesium generated differences on a time level. On the contrary, conductivity, calcium concentration, and variables associated with soil characteristics expressed it at the spatial level due to exploring the ZTAT. Therefore, the physicochemical dynamics of moments and sites in a wetland require a sampling design that, using the ZTAT, facilitates the scale of physicochemical analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
