In consequence, he/she stands out the importance that has the information and their appropriate use in the process of self-evaluation of a master program like demand of the superior education. With the result that, this article has as objective to socialize a proposal of flows that you/they guide the summary process, organization and analysis of the necessary information for the self-evaluation of a master program. For their design he/she was necessary of the use of a methodology that combined theoretical and empiric methods; of the first ones it was used the historical-logical one and the analytic-synthetic one for the foundation and understanding of the self-evaluation process; as long as, of the seconds, the sessions and interviews were used in depth with the purpose of systematizing the experiences of the participant agents and of valuing the proposal of flows, considered as the main result; those that, according to the approach of the actors of the programs of master of the University of Sancti Spíritus José Martí Pérez, they facilitate the summary, organization and interpretation of the information.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, university students have continued their studies through remote education, involving different institutional resources and skills of teachers and students. The objective of this article was to analyze Mexican university students' emotional and learning experiences based on their perceived institutional and teaching support during COVID-19 after a year of remote education. A mixed method (quantitative-qualitative) was used; In the quantitative phase, a self-report questionnaire was applied to 682 students; in the qualitative phase, 21 students were interviewed. The statistical program SPSS v22 was used to analyze quantitative results, and qualitative data were analyzed by hand. Results indicate that students used various strategies that help to self-regulate their learning and generally experienced positive emotions and anxiety and stress. The students were generally satisfied with the institutional and teaching measures implemented; access to virtual platforms, adaptation of content, didactic strategies, and teachers' empathic attitude were highly valued, given the perceived academic overload and decreased interactions.

The development of digital skills in early childhood educators is a highly topical topic; above all, if one takes into account all the changes that have occurred in today's society and the improvement of the early childhood curriculum for which they are prepared. Hence, the need to develop digital skills in educators to more adequately face the emerging challenges in their profession from working with children from the earliest ages of child development so that these educators can contribute to making the goal a reality. initial and preschool education; achieve the maximum possible comprehensive development of each of the children, which is why this article aimed to socialize an improvement strategy aimed at the development of digital skills of early childhood educators that required the use of theoretical methods such as the historical-logical, the analytical-synthetic and the inductive-deductive, which made possible the theoretical foundation of the overcoming strategy; as well as the empirical ones: the survey and the observation, to know the level of development of the digital competences of the educators who participated in the investigation. The main result was precisely the improvement strategy and the methodological suggestions for its implementation. Its application in practice evidenced favorable transformations in the level of development of the competition under analysis; thus, reaffirming its feasibility and, above all, the relevance of training its skills.

Anestesia, náuseas y vómitos postoperatorios van unidas prácticamente desde que la anestesia general se introdujo en la práctica clínica quirúrgica, y todavía en la actualidad sigue presentando una incidencia inaceptablemente alta. Con el objetivo de evaluar la efectividad de la medicación preanestésica antiemética con ondansetrón en comparación con dexametasona, en la prevención de la aparición de náuseas y vómitos postoperatorios, se realizó un estudio prospectivo, cuasiexperimental, con grupo control no equivalente en pacientes operados por cirugía de mínimo acceso en el hospital provincial general “Carlos Manuel de Céspedes″ de Bayamo, entre septiembre 2017 hasta diciembre 2020, distribuidos aleatoriamente en dos grupos de 78 pacientes cada uno: el grupo I tratado con ondansetrón, y el grupo II tratado con dexametasona. Fueron utilizados el test del Xi-cuadrado (X2), y la prueba de diferencias de proporciones, con un valor de p = 0,05;  los pacientes entre 40 a 49 años de edad ,el sexo  femenino, ASA II, sin antecedentes de náuseas y vómitos; y con estratificación de riesgo intermedio de nausea y vómitos, fueron más frecuente en el grupo al que se le administró dexametasona.En el grupo I, el mayor número de pacientes tuvo intensidad leve y un número reducido de pacientes requirieron  rescate antiemético con dimenhidrinato.En el grupo II, el mayor número de pacientes reportó intensidad moderada seguida de fuerte, requiriendo rescate antiemético. Se concluyó que la administración de ondansetrón en monoterapia es más efectiva en la prevención de la aparición de náuseas y vómitos postoperatorios que la administración de dexametasona.  

La finalidad de la ortopedia dentofacial consiste en modificar el patrón de crecimiento facial y de las estructuras óseas subyacentes de la cara, como la de los pacientes con síndrome clase III de Moyers. El objetivo de este trabajo es dar a conocer los cambios dento-esqueléticos de un paciente con síndrome clase III de Moyers tratado con bloques gemelos. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 9 años de edad que acudió a consulta de Ortodoncia de la Clínica Universitaria de Especialidades Estomatológicas “Manuel Cedeño” en abril de 2019, preocupado su papá por la estética del paciente. Mediante el análisis de modelos de estudio, las mediciones cefalométricas y los hallazgos del examen físico se clasificó al paciente como síndrome clase III de Moyers. Se empleó los bloques gemelos clase III como aparato de ortopedia funcional de los maxilares. Los resultados dento-esqueléticos se determinaron a los cuatro meses de iniciada la terapia funcional. Luego del tratamiento se concluyó que con el uso de los bloques gemelos clase III los resultados fueron favorables pues se corrigió la relación de oclusión dentaria y se logró una clase I esquelética máxilo-mandibular. 

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many deaths around the world. In fact, if the prevalence of the infection continues, it is expected to decrease life expectancy. From a demographic perspective, the main feature of Covid-19 is its differential effect on age groups, having the worst effect on the elderly people. We estimate temporary life expectancies for each of  three age groups by sex, at the national as well as the state level. The method used to estimate life expectancy uses an approach based on Controlled Smoothness of a time series trend, both globally and by segments. This approach is considered suitable to identify the differential effects of each selected age group. For the 41 to 85 year-old group, we estimate a reduction in temporary life expectancy at the national level, between year 2020 (when it reached its minimum value) and the year where it reached its maximum, 3.5 years for men and 1.6 for women. Meanwhile Mexico City, Baja California and Puebla registered the greatest reduction in life expectancy: 7.10, 5.51 and 5.76 years for men, and 3.46, 2.98 and 2.95 years for women, respectively. Our study explores how the COVID-19 disparities in temporary life expectancies develop at the state level. We think this information may be helpful to improve public health policies.

From a historical-structural approach and discourse analysis, the article analyzes the conditions that have allowed different Autonomy regimes of the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua and various migration processes within the framework of territorial changes, the trajectory of authority and multiethnic rights in the history of the region.  This shows that the Caribbean Coast of Nicaragua has gone through three different models of autonomy regimes and migration processes: the autonomy regime of the so-called Mosquitia Reserve and international immigration processes (1860-1894); the abolition of said regime and the prevalence of internal immigration (1894-1979) and the Regional Autonomy regime of the Atlantic Coast-Caribbean with intensive internal immigration (1990-2019).  The analysis reveals the causal mechanisms that explain the relationship between these Autonomy regimes and migration: the dispossession of territory, authority and rights from 1894 to today.

This article analyzes the effect of two labor reforms on youth employment: the single minimum wage zone consolidation and the minimum age to work increased from 14 to 15 years old. Both reforms took place in Mexico in the same year. We examine these changes as a quasi-natural experiment to compare cities that change their minimum wage zone with those that did not. We segregate workers by their age into two groups of adolescents, underaged and legal age to work. The differences-in-differences analysis showed that a higher minimum wage increased employment only for adolescents with legal age to work, while the effect on adolescents underaged was null. The results were not robust when we accounted for a more extended period in a panel data analysis as there were no effects on employment in any group.
