Historiography has yet to pay enough atten­tion to specificity of science during the Spanish Second Republic. The period has been diluted within general visions of the early twentieth-century Spanish History of Science. Here we review the literature and highlight the impor­tance of developing a specific historiographical perspective on the topic.

The aim of this paper is to perform a review of the literature on folklore and music in the new towns of Sierra Morena and Andalusia. It thus sets out the current panorama of knowledge on this subject and then moves on to discuss the potential for esta­blishing new lines of research in this area of study.

Introducción: la carga y amenaza mundial de las enfermedades no transmisibles socavan el desarrollo social y económico en todo el mundo. Objetivo: determinar la prevalencia de síndrome metabólico en la población de 15 a 74 años del municipio Guantánamo en 2010. Método: se realizó una investigación observacional transversal que incluyó 1 629 personas, seleccionadas mediante muestreo complejo, por conglomerados y polietápico. Para la definición de síndrome metabólico se utilizaron los criterios NCEP-ATP III modificados. Para recoger la información se utilizó la Versión Panamericana de la Encuesta Nacional de Vigilancia de Factores de Riesgo. Se determinó la prevalencia por edades y sexos mediante estimaciones con 95 % de confiabilidad, expresadas en por ciento, utilizando el programa SPSS, versión 11.5. Resultados:  el síndrome metabólico fue más frecuente en las mujeres y en el grupo de edades de 55-64 años. La prevalencia obtenida no difiere de los estimados realizados por la OMS y es un indicador que puede utilizarse como línea base para estudios posteriores que evalúen impacto de modificaciones en los factores de riesgo. Conclusiones: la alta prevalencia de SM en guantanameros de 15 a 74 años indica la necesidad de implementar acciones preventivas diseñadas para controlar la HTA, reducir la obesidad central, la dislipidemia y la hiperglicemia y mejorar la vigilancia de las enfermedades cardio-metabólicas y con ello evitar las consecuencias futuras del SM para la salud de la población.

Of the population, 62.5% required conservative treatment, 33.3 orthodontic treatments and 9.7 periodontal treatments. Conclusions: children with mild Mental retardation predominated with adequate oral hygiene, dental caries also conditioning a high need for conservative treatment.

It is proposed to develop an evaluation guide for the practical examination of the Clinical Operative subject, with the aim of achieving the best performance of teachers in the evaluation of students. The evaluation guide proposed the integration of the contents in the program of the subject, allows the real correspondence with the skills and the evaluation system, guaranteeing the unification of criteria between evaluators, which decreases the variation in the evaluation results and improves the quality of stomatological practice.

Introduction: the World Health Organization, through the active aging document, presented a political framework, which offered a new paradigm in the promotion of a satisfactory aging in the key of life. Aging and development must be understood as simultaneous and permanent processes throughout life. Objective: to offer an emerging epistemological conception of gender equity that contributes to dismantling the androcentric vision since the aging of women in the Cuban revolutionary context. Method: a critical theoretical study of androcentrism was carried out, since the aging of women, an emergent epistemological conception of gender equity was constructed that allowed us to focus on new points of view. Results: studies with a gender approach allow us to explain the origin and the forms that androcentrism adopts especially; they have contributed to the criticism of relativism that places this type of practices in terms of cultural variability, allowing to justify discrimination. Conclusions: the studies of aging are not carried out with a gender perspective, this situation makes women invisible, fundamentally in their aging and their lives mark the effects of the social androcentric vision.
