Scientific production is experiencing exponential growth, making it essential for professionals and the academic community to possess tools and skills for efficiently retrieving relevant information. To address this need, information must be reformulated into answerable questions, with the PICO format (an acronym for Patient, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome) proving particularly useful. Utilizing this framework will facilitate the identification of critical elements within our question and serve as a guide throughout the information retrieval process, aiding in the development and structuring of search strategies. This paper outlines the principles for formulating questions using the PICO format to enhance the efficacy of literature searches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to fulfill two objectives. The first one is presenting the linguistic and pedagogic theoretical foundations informing the design of a writing workshop for postgraduate students in Spanish, with focus on the domains of social sciences, arts and humanities. The second aim is to provide evidence of the impact of this workshop in the learning process of participants students. The workshop is organized around the thesis macrogenre, with a specific focus on the teaching of discursive and grammatical meaning-making resources, metafunctionally diversified. This provides students with specialized knowledge about language and about how it works in disciplinary contexts. The impact of this workshop in students' writing is exemplified with a case analysis, focusing on the organization of information. Both the workshop's theoretical foundations and the case analysis are grounded on Systemic functional linguistics (SFL). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This theoretical article aims to delve into the complexities of feasibility analysis for civil engineering projects, highlighting its importance, methodology and key components. For the development of the article, a bibliographic research was assumed in which theoretical methods were used that facilitated the review of the literature using the following procedure: Compile relevant information, critically evaluate the information and synthesize the information in the organization and summary of the findings from the literature reviewed, identifying key concepts and theories; arriving at the following conclusions: Feasibility analysis is a fundamental tool to evaluate the viability of civil works projects, ensuring their success and minimizing risks, it is a dynamic process that must be continually updated throughout the life cycle of the project to reflect changes in conditions and risks. A comprehensive feasibility analysis should consider technical, economic, legal, environmental and social aspects to provide a complete view of the project's viability. Feasibility analysis is an essential tool for evaluating the viability of civil engineering projects. Various methodologies, approaches and tools are available to perform feasibility analysis, and continued research and development is leading to advances in this field. The integration of AI, big data and data analytics, and the focus on sustainability are some of the future trends that will shape feasibility analysis in the coming years. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The order of books and libraries allows scholars to explore complex aspects of cultural and intellectual history, such as the organization of knowledge, the understanding of reality, and the different ways of classifying information. Taking into account these possibilities, this work analyzes the order of books in the libraries of the Jesuit-Guaraní missions (17th-18th centuries, Paraguay). The sources consulted are the inventories of goods belonging to the missions, produced as a consequence of the Jesuits' expulsion from the Spanish Empire (1767-1768). The hypothesis is that the missionaries organized the libraries by topics according to a hierarchical criterion. The knowledge considered most significant from an epistemological point of view was located at the beginning of the inventories, but likely also in terms of space and accessibility. The remaining contents were situated subsequently in a progressive arrangement. At the same time, this work suggests that the organization was inspired by the Bibliotheca Scriptorum Societatis Iesu, i. e., a corporate bibliographical proposal developed within the Society of Jesus.

Knowledge management has a strong relationship with the organization of the information and its transformation into knowledge, thus its main object of study are the human, organizational, and technological factors involved in the flow of knowledge transfer and its life cycle. The incorporation of knowledge management practices in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) is increasing in the last decade (Quarchioni et al., 2020). Institutional evaluation and accreditation processes that seek to measure the minimum acceptable quality in academicadministrative processes have also increased. Thus, the knowledge management systems are tools very valuable for the optimal management of documents and information in the accreditation process. This hermeneutic literature review contributes with the description of knowledge management as an academic discipline and its application in the understanding of ten (10) knowledge management models for HEIs. The results show that the knowledge management systems models in HEIs are specific to each context and institutions, seeking to improve the substantive functions of the universities. Most of models studied are hybrid, but require validation through implementation. They are based mainly on literature reviews and context studies. None of the models studied is based on a knowledge audit, nor are they designed to support the institution in university evaluation and accreditation processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The development of digital teaching competence is an essential requirement of the teaching-educational process and of teachers’ professional development. In various studies published in prestigious journals, this competence has been analyzed from different perspectives. For example, studies have included a range of definitions, indicators, and dimensions, but the importance of the use of digital information and information literacy in teachers often tend to be highlighted. However, published systematic reviews lack an analysis related to this object of study. Therefore, this research was undertaken to conduct a systematic review to analyze the current state of the study of information and information literacy in teaching digital competence. The PRISMA protocol was applied, and 19 articles were selected. In the results obtained, it is highlighted that the least studied competence is the evaluation of information, data and digital content. The storage and retrieval of information, data and digital content competence, although it is studied with a focus on the importance of managing information in activities guided by the teacher (independent study, exercises, etc.), the way in which these are activities carried out is not described or specified. There is also no precise reference to actions related to the storage and retrieval of information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this research was to quantify the contribution of the Mexican meat industry to the national GDP, as well as to calculate the average annual growth rate (TMCA) during the period (28 years), as well as the last four six-year periods and to determine the contribution to the manufacturing industry. The methodology was use of a documentary type with the following stages: i) Selection of the subject to study, ii) Collection of information from secondary documentary sources, which was fundamentally from the National Accounts of INEGI, iii), Preparation of the research plan, iv) Organization of the information, for which the INEGI Industrial Classification System of North America (SCIAN) was used and v) Use of the statistical function, which for the case was the TMCA. It was found that the meat industry presented a positive trend throughout the period, with a TMCA of 2.59% and with a parallel with the manufacturing industry, which is the sector that includes the meat industry. The meat industry had on average (28 years) of 0.81% in the national GDP and its importance scales to 4.78% of the manufacturing industry and reach just over a fifth (21.68%) in the food industry, finally the industry of meat is an essential part of the basic food basket of the Mexico people.

The objective of the research article was to analyze how the changing environments that affect strategic planning in the public sector, given that nowadays society and the external scenario are in an accelerated process of change and in an environment of uncertainty. The methodology used was qualitative with systematic documentary review; considering the breadth and complexity of the research work, several specialized documents have been reviewed to perform a correct interpretation and organization of the information and data on changing environments. The specialized literature in the area is diverse and has allowed the construction of a strategic thinking that guides organizations and territories to adapt, adapt and even anticipate changing environments. It was concluded that globalization has a tendency of unequal and excluding character; there is a scenario of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) that requires strategic planning to ensure or facilitate rapid decision-making in the face of new threats and opportunities for adaptation and anticipation; such as climate change and COVID-19, have their origin in global effects and are a threat to the planet: likewise the monitoring and evaluation phase should be one of the fundamental functions of strategic planning and a valuable and effective tool for decision making ensuring an efficient level of compliance with policies and strategic plans.

New technologies and technological advances have contributed to a greater interaction with platforms such as crowdmapping, which allow people or organizations to have an information flow with which they can make contributions through collaborative maps. In order to understand its applications and uses, a systematic review was conducted on the application and importance of crowdmapping and its contribution to the creation of maps in different sectors or areas of society. From this review, the usefulness and efficiency of this type of mapping was determined regarding the delimitation of properties and bike routes, as well as the geolocation of tourist sites in Tunja (Boyacá), so that anyone accessing the maps could participate, appropriate the information, and contribute according to their interests. Said implementation makes its contribution people to know and be able to guide and provide relevant information to both citizens and tourists on the different routes for bicycle users or tourist sites in the city. In these cases, such information is provided by people who have lived the experience and want to share it, thus creating collaborative maps in real time. As for these maps, it is important to validate all the information in order for it to be completely real and for this type of platform to generate confidence for later implementation in other projects with a social aim.

Social networks have become a major communication channel for organizations, including those focused on security and defense. This article specifically examines how the Spanish Armed Forces and State Security Forces communicate on Twitter, with the aim of analyzing the factors that influence engagement with their tweets. A model validated with a sample of 14,540 tweets shows the role that a series of variables related to rational and emotional communication attributes has. These variables are estimated utilizing techniques such as Python and VBA. Subsequently, a logistic model using IBM SSPS estimates the effect of each variable on the probability that a tweet will lead to more or less engagement. The results show that followers of military accounts, such as the Army, tend to have higher rates of interaction than followers of other accounts, even though military accounts have fewer total followers than police accounts. Furthermore, the results confirm the importance of using both rational and emotional stimuli for a message to be effective. To increase engagement, information provided by organizations should use elements such as hyperlinks, emojis, and photographs, and refer to topics that appeal to individuals’ emotions, such as patriotism.

There were analyzed 100 Latin American scientific journals of Legal Sciences with 19,826 articles published between 2005 and 2019. The objective is to offer a comprehensive perspective of the discipline based on the scientific output that circulates in non-commercial Open Access channels (Diamond OA), highlighting its publication and collaboration dynamics. The journals were identified from some of the main global Open Access platforms: DOAJ, Latindex, Redalyc and SciELO. Metadata was obtained based on Redalyc, OJS and SciELO. The analysis is based on automatic information retrieval and a complementary normalization strategy. A tendency to publish mainly at the national level and, secondly, at the institutional level is documented; as well as little presence of the Caribbean and Central America; and a growing trend of scientific collaboration, mainly driven by institutional networks. It is suggested that currently the communication of knowledge in the Latin American Legal Sciences takes place predominantly from a Diamond Open Access model and in this context, challenges of interoperability, retrieval and organization of bibliometric information are identified, in articulation with a growing legitimization of commercial publishing universes.

State and in many cases regional transparency laws have only been implemented for a short time in the Spanish local administration, which does not prevent from assessing their impact until today on a range of key areas, such as the effectiveness and efficiency of the administration, the fight against corruption, the promotion of citizen participation, accountability, or the improvement of the organization of municipal information, among other fields. This is the objective of this work, which uses as research techniques a survey of a large sample of Spanish municipalities (339), of different sizes and framed in all the Autonomous Communities, as well as in-depth semi-structured interviews with political and technical responsibles of transparency in municipalities. The study finds relatively modest assessments of the effects of the transparency regulation in relation to all the consequences analyzed, which are even lower with respect to some of its most sought after effects, such as fighting against corruption, or promoting greater citizen participation, except in larger municipalities, where the degree of compliance with the law by the administration and the interest of citizens for public information are greater.

Managing scientific information in the research process is a great challenge for university thesis students due to the difficulty of systematizing and structuring the excess of information available in different digital or physical sources. The objective of the study was to analyze the importance of reference manager as a technological tool for the management of scientific information in university theses students. We carried out a systematic bibliographic review by searching electronic databases of scientific articles published in journals indexed to Latindex Catalog, Scielo and Scopus between the years 2016 and 2020. The results of the review describe the characteristics, functionalities, aspects and studies main ones on the benefits that reference manager provide to manage scientific information. We conclude that functions such as the organization of information, bibliographic citation and referencing, and collaboration between researchers provided by reference manager, constitute important resources for university thesis students.

The development of analytical writing requires mastery of specialized linguistic forms and functions. Students of all educational levels have problems with the organization of information and the use of specific formal resources. We focus on intra-sentential connectives and discourse markers that contribute to text cohesion and guide the logicalsemantic relationships between units of discourse, as they are considered predictors of writing development and indicators of text quality. We analyze the texts produced by 128 Catalan high school and university students in order to identify the difficulties they have in establishing connectivity and defining developmental trajectories. The texts were produced after implementing a didactic sequence on academic writing. We examine the repertoire of markers (conjunctions, parenthetical markers, lexical markers) and the discursive functions they perform (propositional, structural, modal). The results show differences between the two groups in the use of conjunctions, which are used more frequently by high school students, and parenthetical markers, which are more commonly used by university students. With regard to discourse functions, differences between the groups also appear in modal markers. The structural efficacy and coherence of a text are related to proficient use of connectivity markers, their function within a text, and the expression of the writer's stance. The use of structural markers is uncommon for both groups, but university students are more willing to use them in order to express their stance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this research is to analyze the relationship and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the commitment of employees of an organization in the Colombian electricity sector, through a non-experimental, cross-sectional, correlational / causal design and with a quantitative approach. The sample corresponded to 113 workers linked to the analyzed organization and the information was collected through a webtype survey. The results establish a significant relationship between changes in working and daily conditions due to the Covid-19 Pandemic as an independent variable, and work commitment as a dependent variable, of r = 0.565. Likewise, the self-perception of work commitment and adaptation to the new work context in the people surveyed amounts to more than 92% in a strong or very strong way. In this sense, the studied company should consider strategies to limit the working day, since 61.06% of those surveyed consider that their working time has increased since they are performing it remotely.

Until a few years ago, the clinical record was exclusively integrated as a record that was in physical format. However, with the intervention of technological advances, it has evolved towards the integration of the electronic clinical record by various health institutions in Mexico, which have opted for the application of information and communication technologies (ICT) to facilitate the organization of clinical information and health care of higher quality and more focused on the patient. In this regard, although the electronic clinical record is presented as an invaluable instrument for advances in the health sector, at the same time it raises new questions not only from the medical, but also legal point of view, related to its ownership and access to the personal information it contains, as well as the protection of sensitive data related to the patient, a situation that is sometimes complex due to the large amount of information that said sector generates and the different hypotheses regarding its access and protection. Introduction: In this article, once we referred to the impact that ICTs have had in the field of health, we analyze the minimum content that the legislation on the subject provides for the correct integration of the clinical record. The foregoing gives rise to posing the challenges that in the issue of access and protection of the patient's personal data generates the transit towards the integration of the electronic clinical record in the public health sector, taking into account that any treatment of personal data, must be subject to the regime of principles, duties and rights in the matter of personal data protection, except in the cases provided for in the laws of the matter. Method: The method used is of an analytical type, for the decomposition of the elements, observation of the causes, nature and effects of the implementation of the legal framework that regulates the electronic clinical record in Mexico. In particular, the analysis takes as a point of reference the General Law of Protection of Personal Data in Possession of Obligatory Subjects (LGPDPPSO), which establishes the bases, principles and procedures to guarantee the right of everyone to the protection of their personal data, in possession of obligated subjects; and the NOM- 004-SSA3-2012, of the clinical record, which establishes the mandatory scientific, ethical, technological, and administrative criteria in the preparation, integration, use, management, filing, conservation, ownership, and confidentiality of the clinical record. Results: The right of access to the clinical record is essential so that patients have tools to decide in the most appropriate way about their health, but also so that the institutions that are part of the National Health System, as responsible for the treatment and protection of the patient's personal information, provide more appropriate and quality medical care, preventing data from being dispersed. In this sense, the clinical record guarantees the exercise not only of the right to health of patients, but also that of the protection of their personal data that is processed by medical and administrative personnel who work in a health institution; so its proper integration, in accordance with the legislation that regulates it and, in particular, with NOM-004-SSA3-2012, of the clinical record, grants benefits to both the patient and the service provider in any medical institution. Discussion or Conclusion: The proactive action of the institutions that are part of the National Health System must contribute to providing certainty and security within a strict framework of data governance, in accordance with the following recommendations: a) Establish an adequate governance structure regarding the protection of personal data of patients. It is about assigning areas and personnel responsible for the protection of patient information, responsibilities and procedures in each one; b) Maintain an inventory in databases that allows classifying the personal data of patients by type, differentiating between personal data in general and those of a sensitive nature, generating, where appropriate, dissociation procedures through which personal data cannot be associated with the holder or allow, due to its structure, content or degree of disaggregation, its identification; c) Establish a personal data protection policy within health institutions, in accordance with the current and applicable legal framework for protection; d) Continuously train the staff of health institutions in data protection with specific content for the medical and administrative staff involved; e) Implement technical, physical and administrative security measures to guarantee the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the patient's personal data; and f) Make privacy notices available to patients that are consistent with the data protection policy and the current and applicable legal framework.

The need to align the strategies of the organization with the new information technologies had been imposed by the development of these last. One of the approaches that makes it possible such alienation is the Enterprise Architecture Approach (AE). To implement an AE project, it is necessary to start with a diagnosis that determines the current state of the organization to develop, apply and maintain this approach, through a continuous process. For this purpose, a maturity model can be used, which allows to draw up development strategies to achieve the planned objectives and identify improvement areas. The present work has as objective to design a technology that allows evaluating the degree of maturity of an organization. The proposal starts from the application of a checklist that includes the fundamental aspects of the layers that make up the Enterprise Architecture. The preferences of the leaders and workers involved are considered using a Multicriteria approach, in particular, a weighted sum function (Scoring). As a result, the levels of maturity of the organizations considered are obtained, besides the applications allowed to detect that the layers of greater insufficiencies are those of business and information.

Background: the existence of specific effects of emotion on text comprehension in adults has been experimentally verified. However, there is no information regarding adolescents, which is relevant for the design of interventions. Objective: this research study aims to assess whether dimensionallyconceptualized emotional states (valence, arousal and dominance) affect the comprehension and retrieval of written texts in adolescents. Method: following instrument validation, three experiments (n = 468) were performed. They consisted in inducing emotions which differed in one dimension (valence, arousal or dominance) and kept others the same, in order to assess the role of each dimension on comprehension and retrieval processes (i.e., positive vs. negative valence; stable arousal and dominance in experiment 1). Results: the results indicate that valence has an impact on text comprehension and shows a better performance in positive than negative emotional states. On the other hand, activation occupies a central role in memory processes independently of other emotional dimensions, with higher performance in high activation states. Finally, dominance did not show any significant effect. Conclusions: the results suggest that the valence of emotional states is mostly related to reasoning and induction processes, while activation is associated with changes in information storage and retrieval processes.

In this work, we have focused in at least two elements of edition that are crucial to the understanding of the modes of production and the circulation of books in Brazil. These are the notions of "popular book" and "pocket book", both closely related to each other and also to production and sales strategies, book formats, book design and certain literary genres or "bookstore" genres. For the purposes of conceptual discussion and analysis of editorial practices, we will deal here, with the Biblioteca Universal Popular (Universal Popular Library). This is a collection of paperbacks published in Brazil between 1963 and 1968 by Editora Civilização Brasileira, one of the most important publishing houses in activity at that time. Another relevant aspect of the present study is the recomposition of the catalog of this collection, which represents one of the many attempts of Brazilian publishers to approach the pocket book market through the edition of low cost books with a wide circulation. The collection and organization of the information presented here are based on investigations in private libraries and in various websites, especially in the online collection of Fundação Biblioteca Nacional and in the website of Estante Virtual.

Introduction: Fthe diagnosis of reading habits in the young population represents a vital tool for the design of solutions, aimed at improving said practices. Objective: to reveal the behavior of reading habits in young people in the city of Santa Clara, comparing it with similar studies in other countries to establish the parameters that must condition the establishment of policies and actions that contribute to making reading an option leisure and for personal and social development. Materials and methods: The research has a descriptive cut; it is based on the application, through the PAPI procedure (face-to-face + paper), of a questionnaire to a sample of 1138 young people, between 15 and 35 years of age, during the 2019.

Venezuelan society in the last decade has undergone a process of transformation in the generation of habitat as a family refuge, complex processes directed towards the most dispossessed classes, but at the same time, weak in terms of its implementation. The University of Zulia has developed since its creation a close link with the social context, from this scenario research is limited to providing teaching strategies that allow expressing technical information about the habitat and its inhabitants under the approach of social responsibility to object to improve the maintenance and useful life of the buildings. Training these areas requires specific methodological learning instruments adjusted to the level of understanding of the inhabitants. The Ricardo Aguirre community, located in the city of Maracaibo, Venezuela, represents the case study of this investigation. Methodologically research-action, documentary, and field research have been applied in order to analyze the obtaining, recording, and organization of information from living and documentary sources, defining development lines and areas of knowledge corresponding to the process of maintenance and service in buildings, and design of didactic strategies to express the technical information to the communities. All these actions of growth in the paths of the integrality of common and academic knowledge, the joint search for the common good and social commitment, have led to the conclusion of developing technical-didactic documents with an adapted language, but at the same time the purpose of strengthening community training in a socially responsible manner.

The use of cost models in universities is a necessity demonstrated a few years ago, but still does not have the political and institutional support that would allow its implementation in Spanish universities. It is vitally important that the education institutions have a management model that provides the organization with useful information, plans the activities necessary to achieve the proposed objectives, defines the resources necessary to achieve them efficiently and includes indicators that are capable of measuring their achievement. The ABC cost model could be the most appropriate tool to manage public resources and provide the information needed to achieve the strategic objectives set out by the University, since it would allow to know at all times what is done and how it is done, since the implementation of the it implies the definition of the main activities developed in the University, how they are being carried out and the cost of their realization. Information would be available on the effectiveness and efficiency of the activities. Therefore, this work has as main objective the design of an Activity Map under the methodology ABC costs, applied to one of the most important units of academic institutions: university departments. The result has been the design of the activities linked to both research and teaching and management in these units as a step prior to the development of the rest of the ABC cost model in the University.
