The article discusses the political and ethical principles of popular education in the educational process of middle-level health care workers. It is based on the theoretical and conceptual framework of institutional analysis; thus the formation process is considered to be the instituted moment, the Ministry of Health policy for the formation of workers is instituing and popular education in health care is the institutionalization process. The dialectics between the instituted, instituing and the institutionalization process determine different possibilities, in which popular education is a component of autonomy for the professionals, deconstructing pedagogical processes, and linking subjecting agents to the rational and organizational logic of health care services. It is also a strategy for building up ways of escape that may lead to changes in the formation process of these workers.

The essay argues that the fact of us living in a society that reproduces while a 'huge collection of merchandize' forces the merchandize to be predominant social relation between individuals. Since, among the decisive characteristics of the merchandize, we have the contempt for the usefulness of the products of labor (the supremacy of the Exchange value over the vale of use), a Merchant society is that in which the production has as its purpose not the human needs, but profit. With the structural crisis of capital which is installed from the 1970's, (Mészáros), the maintenance of a society which reproduces by the mediation of reproduction of merchandize imposes to the human beings a life increasingly alienated. Alienated in two senses: the human needs present themselves in a manner that is weaker and weaker in social production and, on the other hand, the spendthrift and destructive production becomes the predominant expression of the inhumanity of capital. It is in this group of factors that the fundamental determinations that articulate, today, labor, social wholeness (sociability) and reproduction of individuals (individuality) is based.

Public policies at work, education and technology have been object of active confrontation between antagonistic social forces. This is the theme of this article that aims to initiate a debate about some public policies on professional and technical education field. In this sense, we recover the discussion on work-education relationship — which at the beginning of the 1980's justified the creation of the work team called "Work and Education", at the National Association of Post Graduation and Research (Associação Nacional de Pós-Graduação e Pesquisa em Educação - Anped) — to gather elements which enable the assessment of advances and retrocession of current public policies related to professional and technical education. The article is base don the follow-up and participation in the debate on work-education of the Guidance Law and Basis of National Education (Lei de Diretrizes e Bases da Educação Nacional - LDB) and on researches about this theme.

Introducción: el programa de Control Sanitario Internacional implementado en Cuba permite el control y seguimiento, en todo el país, de las enfermedades endémicas y transmisibles por vectores, procedentes de otros países. Esto se realiza de forma manual, por teléfono y con el intercambio de documentos. Por ello, se decidió elaborar una herramienta informática que satisfaga las necesidades, en el Departamento de Higiene y Epidemiología del Policlínico.Objetivo: desarrollar el prototipo de una aplicación informática para el control sanitario internacional en el Departamento de Higiene y Epidemiología del Policlínico Universitario “Pedro Borrás Astorga”.Métodos: la investigación obedece a un proyecto de innovación tecnológica para definir la arquitectura de la información que se gestiona durante el control sanitario internacional. Se ejecutaron las etapas de análisis y diseño de la aplicación, con el empleo de la metodología ágil para el desarrollo de software. Además, se han aplicado métodos teóricos y empíricos como el histórico-lógico, el analítico-sintético, el inductivo-deductivo, las entrevistas y el análisis documental.Resultados: se describen los primeros resultados de la investigación, a partir del estudio de las necesidades y las carencias actuales del personal del Departamento de Higiene y Epidemiología. Se desarrolló la arquitectura de la información que se gestiona para lograr el control sanitario internacional.Conclusiones: el prototipo obtenido, permitirá a los futuros programadores implementar el software necesario para apoyar al personal del departamento en la toma de decisiones, de forma significativa a la reducción de riesgos por graves epidemias, beneficiará a los profesionales con una herramienta informática que puede simplificar su trabajo, tributar a la optimización del tiempo, la gestión y la seguridad de la información.

Introducción: el nervio intermediario constituye la raíz sensitiva del nervio facial y fue descrito por Wrisberg en 1777 como un ramo separado. Dentro de sus funciones se encuentra el control de secreción salival y lacrimal, función gustativa y sensibilidad cutánea de partes del oído externo. La dolicoectasia vertebrobasilar se caracteriza por un complejo vertebrobasilar dilatado, elongado y tortuoso.Presentación de caso: paciente con cefalea de dos meses de evolución, referida a la región del pabellón auricular y conducto auditivo externo izquierdos, de comienzo súbito, duración menor de un minuto, de carácter eléctrico y severa intensidad según escala visual análoga. Se sospechó neuralgia del nervio intermediario izquierdo. Se realizó una tomografía multicorte de cráneo-encéfalo y resonancia magnética de cráneo-encéfalo con técnica de angiografía. No se evidenció lesión ocupativa de espacio intracraneal ni en conducto auditivo. Se evidenció complejo vertebrobasilar elongado y distendido, se diagnosticó dolicoectasia vertebrobasilar. Se instauró tratamiento con carbamazepina 600mg diario con lo cual existió resolución total de las crisis dolorosas.Conclusiones: la neuralgia del intermediario debe considerarse como diagnóstico diferencial en pacientes con dolor de carácter neuropático referido a la región del conducto auditivo externo. La dolicoectasia vertebrobasilar se identificó como la causa de la compresión neural. El tratamiento farmacológico constituye la primera línea de tratamiento para estos pacientes. 

The aim of this article is to address the concept of world music and its contact points with the Chilean cultural field. The document examines the meaning of the concept, defining it as a device for postcolonial representation that distinguishes between Western and non-Western musics, building a hierarchical narrative that subordinates and exoticises the latter. At the same time, the category can be appropriated and resignified by the colonised subjects through hybrid artworks that represent their identities in the Western musical discourse. The article introduces the concept of colonial voice, which puts together the processes of exoticisation and representation operating in world music. Based on specialised literature and the musical analysis of selected examples, the article identifies three moments of contact of world music in Chile. In the first, between the decades of 1950 and 1970, traditional and popular Chilean musics were recorded by European ethnographic and phonographic endeavours, driven by the embryonic development of a Western musical narrative of global scope. In a second stage, between the decades of 1980 and 1990, some Chilean artists strategically used musical elements circulating in world music as references to enrich their artistic vocabulary. Finally, since the 2000s to this day, the category of world music was consolidated through local record labels and festivals, being actively and critically received to characterise the music of the Otherness present in the country. The article concludes with a summary of its interpretations and offers some thoughts on new research questions, relevant for academic study and the development of public policies on the subject.
