Currently, music education is taking great importance in the training processes of students at school levels. This has been evidenced thanks to various studies carried out in numerous fields of knowledge which justify its application and have demonstrated its benefits in both artistic aspects belonging to the discipline itself, as well as in aspects not commonly considered in it. Within these aspects, the social skills recognized as a crucial element in the integral development of the student body for some years, have been benefited, to the point that, in some cases, it has been strengthened, reestablishing social fabrics from different fields of action, through intervention programs in educational institutions, in communities in situations of vulnerability, or that have been affected by various types of violence. In the work, the results of the application of a program of Musical Education and Social Skills entitled “from the greens of the sale” in adolescents between 12 and 14 years of age of basic secondary school of the Juanambú Educational Institution of the municipality of Union, department of Nariño, Colombia. A mixed methodology was used, the conceptual categories and the system of variables were determined, and then the activities that make up the program were chosen. The study was quasi-experimental, descriptive, cross-sectional with two groups, one experimental and one control, in pretest - posttest, comparing the impact of the music education program on their social skills. Taking into account the information obtained, it was possible to establish that the impact of the program was positive, the proposed activities and the work carried out during the intervention period contributed to the improvement of the social skills worked with the experimental group.

There is little information generated on the situation of micronutrients in Paraguayan soils, including manganese (Mn), an essential micronutrient for plants, so it is important to know its availability and distribution. The aim of the research was to classify the availability of Mn in soils of the Eastern region of Paraguay at the district level. For this, a database was generated with the results of soil analysis from the FCA-UNA, CIHB-IPTA and FUCAI-UCA laboratories. The available Mn content of the soils of 11,331 samples was classified as “high” (>5 mg.kg-1); “medium” level (5 – 1.2 mg.kg-1) and “low” level (<1.2 mg.kg-1), generating a map of Mn availability at the district level. Descriptive statistics were performed from the available Mn values. Of the 234 districts that make up the Eastern region of Paraguay, 195 districts were classified, where 98% presented a “high” level (193 districts) and 2% “medium” level (2 districts) of Mn available, 17% (39 districts) were not classified due to lack of soil analysis results. The department with the highest average of available Mn was Canindeyú with 68.4 mg.kg-1 and the lowest average of available Mn was Amambay with 20.0 mg.kg-1, of which 39% of the samples were classified as level “low” of Mn available. Considering the total number of soil samples analyzed (11,331 samples), 10,670 samples had “high” levels of Mn (94.2%), 516 samples had “medium” levels of Mn (2.6%) and only 145 samples had “low” levels of Mn available (1.3%). The soils of the Eastern region have a predominance of soils with high availability of Mn, so its deficiency is not an impediment for agricultural, livestock and forestry production systems.

Arterial hypertension is a chronic noncommunicable disease. Some literatures refer to it as the silent killer due to the large number of side effects it produces on the human body, many of which are potentially lethal. In this context, the clinical epidemiological characteristics of arterial hypertension were analyzed in patients over 18 years of age who use the health services of a Community Clinic in the San Miguel neighborhood of Ciudad del Este in the year 2022. This is a study with a focus on quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional retrospective, which as a result is important to mention that more cases of arterial hypertension were detected in women than in men due to the concurrence to the control and consultation of the same and the average age of the patients diagnosed is 57 years with degree 2. It is concluded that there is a coincidence with the data from various investigations and reports from health institutions that indicates that the increase in risk factors such as obesity, sedentary lifestyle, diabetes mellitus (DM) and stress affects the causes of high blood pressure. The adoption of action plans for the prevention and promotion of noncommunicable diseases in our country should be emphasized above all in correcting risk factors.

The coronavirus disease pandemic (COVID-19) has caused an unprecedented crisis in the school environment with massive closures of face-to-face activities of educational institutions in more than 190 countries in order to prevent the spread of the virus and mitigate its impact. The Healthy Schools strategy arises as an initiative to proactively develop health promotion skills within educational communities, its implementation depends largely on a management team destined for this purpose accompanied by local health personnel. The objective of the study was to characterize the experiences in the implementation of the healthy school strategy during the COVID-19 Pandemic in a school institution. The approach was qualitative, phenomenological design, the sample was comprised of Directors and Teachers of the Public School, the data collection technique was an interview with key informants and a semi-structured interview with a guide of questions to teachers. The data analysis was carried out by coding the analysis categories and subcategories, the data were presented in diagrams and tables. The main results showed that the implementation of the healthy school strategy was fundamental and of great help for the effective application of health protocols during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Introduction: Knowledge of this problem in our environment is limited. Objectives: To explore suicidal orientation in medical students in northeastern Argentina in August 2021. Method: Exploratory scope study, descriptive cross-sectional design with non-probabilistic sampling. The Suicidal Orientations ISO-30 inventory of King & Kowalchuk (1994) was used, adapted at the University of Buenos Aires in 1998 by Casullo and Fernandez Liporace (2006), in 312 medical students from northeastern Argentina. Results: It was found that 25% of the students surveyed indicate a high risk, 21% a moderate risk, and 54% a low risk. Substance use is observed as a risk factor that increases with the passing of years of studies, establishing an inverse relationship with the high risk of suicide. Discussion: Based on the results obtained, it can be pointed out that the risk of suicidal ideation is present in the students surveyed. It is considered that they reflect part of this alarming phenomenon worldwide, which is why it is believed appropriate to approach it from a basically preventive modality. Conclusion: It is pertinent that academic environments establish early detection and intervention programs that allow improving emotional well-being and reducing the probability of occurrence of outcomes.

The pandemic due to the new coronavirus (COVID - 19) as a public health challenge has implied multiple challenges in health systems and generated stressful contexts that affected the mental health of health workers, for which this work aim was to review the existing literature on burnout in nursing staff during the current COVID - 19pandemic, for which a panoramic review of the literature was carried out based on the methodology proposed by Arskey and O’Malley using the following descriptors: Professional Burnout, Nursing personnel, nursing staff, pandemic and COVID - 19 in the PubMed, Scielo and Google Scholar databases, with which 25 articles were retrieved that met the inclusion criteria. Results: 41 variables related to the presence of burnout in nursing staff were identified and organized into 5 main categories. Discussion: COVID - 19 pandemic generated stressors in nursing staff, multiple variables of sociodemographic, labor, and social factors were identified as influential for the development of burnout in nursing staff. Conclusion: It´s necessary to plan mental health care programs for nursing staff based on the evidence provided by empirical studies.

The application of microorganisms that promote plant growth through inoculation favors mineral nutrition, increasing the availability of nutrients, thus increasing the production of soybeans. The objective overall was to evaluate the application of doses of plant growth promoting microorganisms, Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Azospirillum brasilense and Pseudomonas fluorescens, in soybean crop production. The experiment with soybeans in the direct seeding system was carried out in the district of Minga Guazú, department of Alto Paraná, from October 2016 to February 2017, using a randomized complete block design, with seven treatments and four repetitions. The applied doses of the inoculant were: 0, 75, 150, 225, 300, 375 and 450 ml ha-1. The inoculant was applied to the seeds at the time of sowing. In the phenological development stage R5, R6 and R7, plant height, aerial dry mass production, root dry mass production, number of nodes, number of root nodules, number of pods, number of grains per pod were evaluated and distribution of number of grains per pod; mass of thousand seeds and grain yield. Analysis of variance, comparison of means by Tukey’s test at 5% probability of error and regression analysis were performed. The variables analyzed in the soybean crop did not show a significant effect on inoculation, except for grain yield, which obtained a significant response, reaching a maximum value of 5036 kg ha-1 with a dose of 140 ml ha-1. The application of inoculants increases the production of soybeans.

According to Law N ° 4995/13 on Higher Education, the responsibility of universities is the training of human resources for the knowledge society, an issue that occurs from the development of Science and Technology, but to align with society knowledge requires teachers who adjust to the new paradigms to reform education based on the real needs of society. Therefore, the work focused on investigating the research activities of teachers for the training of students in relation to Science, Technology and Innovation. It was possible through the quantitative approach and the application of a questionnaire of 15 questions to n = 47 teachers from n = 4 private universities in the city of Encarnación. The results show that 84% of teachers also work in other areas alongside teaching, but of this percentage, only 10% carry out research activities. However, they are the ones who have more articles published in indexed journals (between 2 to 4 articles) during their professional practice compared to those who are dedicated solely to teaching (2 articles). Therefore, it is shown that the teacher lacks research activity, a situation that hinders the training-research nexus by dedicating hours to a second job not related to teaching, and in this case, the failure of academic scientific literacy begins in the teachers.

Academic visibility is linked to the dissemination, accessibility, and recognition of the scholarship produced by university faculty, especially in terms of criteria for promotion, permanence, and academic rank. For the researcher, making scientific production visible and accessible increases the chances of being perceived and used. Regarding the different actions that could be taken, it is crucial to consider the publication of the research in Open Access so that it is freely available and allows its wider distribution, which would result in greater visibility and citations, in addition to establishing linking or linking strategies in resources. or digital platforms such as social networks, online profiles or blogs. For this reason, the operability in the promotion of research becomes essential as part of the work of researchers and academics, an effort that would bring results of notoriety of academic work when measuring the impact factor.
