Introduction: the Goldberg and Black method estimates dietary underreporting in epidemiological food consumption studies. This method compares the self-reported energy intake of the subjects with the estimate of their total energy expenditure. Objective: to evaluate underreporting and overreporting at individual and group levels in Health Sciences students. Material and methods: the study was cross-sectional and prospective; the participants recorded their food consumption through two dietary records, one on the weekend and the other on the weekdays. They previously answered to sign an informed consent letter, after which the physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) they were also weighed and measured, and then the basal metabolic rate (BMR) was estimated, It calculated later the declared intake (EI)/BMR ratio, and finally, the cut-off points to determine under-declarers, over declarators and plausible declarators. Results: we found 14.81 % underreporting at the individual level and 44.44 % at the group level. The subjects with a higher BMI and those who performed strenuous physical activity were the ones who underreported the most. The subjects underreported performed moderate and severe physical activity at the group level. Conclusions: it is crucial to carry out this methodology to verify the results of dietary evaluation since underreporting affects the estimation of nutrient intake and can alter the associations between diet and diseases in epidemiological studies.

The The text presents an analysis of the political participation of female university students from the University of Guadalajara, Mexico, from the perspective of Russell Dalton’s cognitive mobility. The study’s sample included 218 university students, divided into 164 in the early academic cycles (first and second semester) and 54 in the final cycles (eighth and ninth semester). The division of the sample into two groups was based on the idea that cognitive mobility suggests a positive correlation between educational level and political participation. The dimensions related to political participation that were examined included interest in politics, the evaluation of protest actions, confidence in politics, knowledge about politics, participation in political activities, and overall political participation. The results of the study revealed that there were no significant differences between students in early and final cycles in any of the analyzed dimensions of political participation. However, significant differences were found in the sub-scales of knowledge about politics and the evaluation of protest actions based on the students’ disciplinary areas of study. Specifically, it was observed that students in social sciences and humanities and economics and administrative sciences showed higher participation in political activities and a greater appreciation of protest actions compared to students in exact sciences and engineering. In summary, the study suggests that the level of education did not have a significant impact on the political participation of the studied female university students, but disciplinary differences in the areas of study did influence some dimensions of their political participation.

Introduction: Medical sciences students refer higher levels of academic stress, particularly those of the Medicine career. Objective: To characterize Medicine students according to stress level, psychosomatic reactions and confrontation strategies used during covid-19 pandemic. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out from September to December, 2020, of 30 first and second year students of the Medicine career, belonging to Faculty No. 2 of the University of Medical Sciences in Santiago de Cuba that referred to feel nervous. The analyzed variables were sex, self-perceived level of stress, situations generating stress, physical, psychological, behavioural reactions and confrontation strategies. The percentage was used for the qualitative data, as well as the mean and the standard deviation for the quantitative ones. Results: The self-perceived level of stress was average in the male sex and high in the female sex. In the study there was a prevalence of the limited time for the realization of works, evaluations of professors and academic overload as situations generating stress; the drowsiness, restlessness, isolation and conflicts or discussions as main reactions; planning of their tasks, search of information on the situation and assertive skill as confrontation strategies. Conclusions: The studied sample was characterized by presenting a medium level of self-perceived stress, responding to situations that generate academic stress, expressing physical, psychological and behavioural reactions when facing these situations, as well as using confrontation strategies focused on the problem.

Scientific training in Secondary Education must promote the resolution of problems that allow developing the ability to make reasoned decisions of active citizenship. The use of the skills involved in scientific practices, such as asking researchable questions, formulating testable hypotheses, developing experimental designs, thinking critically and logically to establish relationships between variables, and communicating an argument made using evidence, can present challenges for students. That is why the main purpose of this work is to evaluate the degree of acquisition of some of the scientific skills by students of 2nd and 3rd year of Compulsory Secondary Education through different sequenced activities progressively increasing the difficulty. An instrument has been used to analyze the proposal of activities based on the degree of autonomy required in each skill and a questionnaire to assess the effect of the teaching sequence on the learning of skills. The analysis of the activities reveals that different levels of inquiry are proposed in which the skills are gradually introduced. The results of the questionnaires show an increase in the ability of the students to use the skills addressed in the activities. Likewise, small differences in learning are observed between both groups of students that can be attributed to the different educational level of the students. Finally, it is concluded that school research must be appropriate to the acquired level of each of the cognitive skills so that they can promote their learning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of the research was to establish if there is a difference in the attitude related to science in university students of different academic cycles. For this purpose, non-experimental research of descriptive cross-sectional design was carried out. The population consisted of students of the schools of Administrative Sciences and Accounting and Financial Sciences of public and private universities of Tacna, during the year 2022. For data collection, the Protocol of Attitudes Related to Science was used. With respect to the students of the School of Accounting and Financial Sciences, the Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance found a p-value of less than .005 (p=.000), which indicates that at least two of the cycles investigated are not homogeneous with the others. The same difference between cycles is observed in the categories of science teaching (p=.000), image of science (p=.000), social incidence (p=.003) and characteristics of science (p=.000). The ANOVA test showed a p-value higher than .05 (p=.058), which allows us to affirm that the attitude towards science is homogeneous in the different academic cycles studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article analyzes the perception of science and scientific culture in Cuban society, highlighting the lack of scientific knowledge and scientific culture. Surveys were conducted with students of Agronomy, Medicine, and teachers from middle schools and physics, revealing a low level of knowledge and understanding of scientific concepts, especially in physics. The results also show that less than 50% of teachers recognize the scientific method as the main research method in the sciences, and that there is little knowledge of the history of physics and the term "epistemology". As a result, courses have been designed to address these deficiencies and promote scientific culture. [Extracted from the article]

The academic formation of health science professionals involves their harmonious and integral development as human beings, considering, among other elements, self-concept and lifestyles, in order to become a proactive agent of change in the place where they work. Generally, health science students at the university level in Peru start as adolescents and continue into their later teenage years, a time when self-concept and behavior are developing with a relation between the two. Additionally, university students often do not eat a balanced diet, sleep an adequate number of hours each night, or do enough exercise during the week. This problem is compounded when they have a heavy course load, as is often the case for students in the health sciences. With this in mind, the objective of this study was to identify the influence of self-concept on lifestyles in students of a private university in eastern Lima. The study has a non-experimental design and it is a quantitative study with an explanatory-causal and cross-sectional approach. The sampling method used was non-probabilistic, and 135 students participated in the study, meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Their ages ranged from 16 to 24 years old (M = 20) and the majority of the participants were female (87 %). The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the university. Two previously validated instruments were chosen to measure the primary variables of the study. The Lifestyle Questionnaire (PEPS-I), consisting of 48 questions with answers on a Likert scale, consists of six factors and was chosen since it has already been validated with adolescents in Peru. The AF-5 has 30 questions grouped into five factors, and it was chosen for the self-concept variable since it has already been validated in a sample of university students in Peru. Both instruments were administered with the support of the Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the university where the study was carried out. Teachers of different courses granted around 20 minutes of their class time for the study team members to come in, present the study, ask for informed consent, and then apply the instruments with those who were willing to participate. In the descriptive analysis, the average of the lifestyle profile corresponds to the self-realization dimension (43.2), followed by the health responsibility dimension (26.1) and the lowest average belongs to the exercise dimension (12.4). In the analysis of the self-concept variable, the social self-concept obtained the highest average (43.2) and the physical self-concept presented the lowest average (28.2). A model was developed to explore the relationships between the two variables and within the factors of each variable. This model shows that self-concept significantly influences the lifestyle of these students (ß = .80; p < .05), that is, self-concept is able to explain 80 % of the lifestyle profile that the students currently hold. Within each variable, most of the factors for self-concept had values equal to or greater than .80, except for the family factor which had a value of .55 while the factors for lifestyles were all above .75 except for the exercise factor. Health science education at the university level should include integral formation not only about knowledge that can be used to treat future patients, but also about lifestyle changes that can help their own health. Self-concept and lifestyle are both in a process of formation during the university years, and they are related. Simply learning about the benefits of healthy lifestyles is not enough, as many health science students are taught these concepts but yet do not put them into practice. Social self-concept in particular, since it was the highest score among the related factors, could be a key way to encourage health science students to take what they learn and put it into practice in their own lives.

The objective of the study is to characterize the socio-environmental factors related to physical activity in university students in Colombia. The research team conducted a cross-sectional study among health sciences students between 18 and 35 years old. Through a stratified sample, we randomly selected 418 subjects for the application of the IPAQ and ECAVE questionnaire that evaluated the level of physical activity and the quality of their neighborhood. Results indicated that 39.1% (IC95 34.9-44.5) are inactive; regarding the urban environment, the areas for walking (51.43%), parks and green areas (49.7%), sports facilities in their place of study (66.74%), cycle routes (71.29%), and pedestrian paths (63.6%) are not suitable for the realization of physical activity; 49.5% perceive negatively the accessibility and availability of public facilities. In conclusion, the appreciation of the infrastructure and environmental conditions is a determining factor for the practice of physical activity in university students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The training of professionals must be based on scientific and innovative bases that allow higher results, adequate academic performance and teacher preparation. In recent years, the pedagogy and didactics of technical sciences have been the subject of vast studies, an imprint in which this research is carried out, from which the article is derived, the objective of which is to exchange the background and initial results on improvement of the academic performance of technical science students from the selection of teaching-learning methods and media. The influence of this on the academic performance of the students in the sample is assessed, from the particularities of two subjects, the professional model and the systemic approach. The results obtained allow a preliminary generalization that underlines this relationship in the training of technical science professionals, especially in this type of subject.
