El estudio analizó la innovación académica en Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) de Manabí, Ecuador, con enfoque en la Universidad Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabí (ULEAM). Se empleó un enfoque cuantitativo con un diseño no experimental y transversal. La muestra incluyó a 150 estudiantes y 50 docentes seleccionados mediante muestreo intencional. Se aplicaron encuestas estructuradas para observar percepciones sobre la innovación educativa y el uso de tecnologías. Los datos fueron analizados mediante estadística descriptiva. Los resultados reflejaron una aceptación moderada de la innovación, aunque persistieron áreas de neutralidad asociadas a la insuficiente infraestructura tecnológica y a la escasa capacitación en metodologías activas. Aunque los estudiantes valoraron las alianzas estratégicas, su participación fue limitada. En la discusión se concluyó que, pese a ciertos avances, la ULEAM debía fortalecer la formación docente, mejorar recursos tecnológicos y comunicar mejor sus estrategias institucionales. Se recomendó una mayor inversión en tecnologías y alianzas para fomentar la transferencia de conocimiento y la empleabilidad de los egresados.

Background: Domestic violence, an expression of gender inequality that permeates both private and public spheres, has significant repercussions on family and organizational environments. Experiences related to violence can cause psychological distress, compromising concentration and decision-making abilities, which are essential for any professional activity. Objective: This study aimed to systematize the literature on the role of organizations in addressing domestic violence, integrating empirical evidence into a theoretical framework and a research agenda. Method: Initially, a bibliometric review was conducted using the Scopus database with the support of VOSviewer software. Subsequently, based on the 4W’s model, a systematic literature review was carried out through the Scopus and Web of Science databases. Results: A growing trend in scholarly production on the topic has been identified in recent years, particularly in international publications, with emphasis on the multidimensional impacts of domestic violence on workers’ well-being and occupational performance, including physical, psychological, and emotional symptoms. Conclusions: The findings highlight the urgency of proactive organizational measures and the implementation of targeted policies to address domestic violence, underscoring the workplace as a critical setting for social support and assistance to victims. This analysis contributes to developing a theoretical framework and a research agenda focused on the effectiveness of corporate actions against domestic violence.

Background: Clinical empathy is an intrinsic attribute of the medical profession and is associated with greater physicians’ compassion satisfaction levels. However, little is known about the potentially modifiable mechanisms underlying this relationship. Aim: This study aimed to analyze the direct and indirect effects of clinical empathy on physicians’ compassion satisfaction via the quality of therapeutic relationships and barriers to compassion. Method: A sample of 222 physicians, collected exclusively online, completed a set of self-report instruments. Direct and indirect effects were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results: Clinical empathy was moderately and positively correlated with the quality of therapeutic relationships and compassion satisfaction, and negatively correlated with barriers to compassion. An indirect effect of clinical empathy on compassion satisfaction was observed through the quality of therapeutic relationships (b = .05, 95% IC [.02; .10]) and barriers to compassion (b = .02, 95% IC [.01; .05]). The model explained around 31% of the variability in compassion satisfaction levels. Conclusions: Higher levels of empathy among physicians may lead to greater compassion satisfaction through better quality of therapeutic relationships and lower perceived barriers to compassion. Intervention programs targeting these mechanisms might increase positive mental health in these professionals.

Efecto de la lluvia en la produccion de arroz de secano (Oryza sativa) en Parrita, Costa Rica. Con el propósito de determinar el efecto del clima durante el ciclo vegetativo del arroz de secano en su rendimiento productivo y determinar la relación entre la producción de arroz de secano con el fenómeno ENOS, se analizó información productiva y de lluvia desde 1980 y hasta el 2020 para la región de Parrita. Se realizó análisis de correlación entre la precipitación y productividad, también se clasificó la información climática en tres condiciones: lluviosa, normal y, seca; y según evento ENOS, las cuales se relacionaron con la productividad. No se determinó correlación entre la precipitación y productividad, y en el caso de la condición climática, existe tendencia a incrementarse la productividad cuando la condición climática es lluviosa. El evento ENOS parece influenciar los rendimientos ya que la productividad tiende a ser mayor durante la Niña. Es recomendable realizar este tipo de estudios para efectuar una mejor planificación de la siembra y manejo del cultivo en función del pronóstico climático de corto y mediano plazo. Palabras clave: Vulnerabilidad climática, cultivos anuales, seguridad alimentaria, ENOS, clima. Keywords: Climate vulnerability, annual crops, food security, ENSO, climate

This article studies the topic of arms and letters in Avellaneda's Quijote, focusing not on the proportion of arms and letters in the work, but on which arms and letters the author of the apocryphon proposes. Specifically, we examine how Avellaneda presents Garcilaso de la Vega el de la Guerra de Granada, a figure that allows us to weigh the literary preferences of the continuator and their ideological consequences. To do so, we first review the various implicit and explicit appearances of the topic of arms and letters in the Quijote of 1614, highlighting the abundant presence of the latter, particularly represented by the romancero. Next, we examine the critical references to the romancero in Avellaneda, highlighting that these analyses lack a text that Avellaneda must have known and that concerns one of the protagonists of this work: the romance of Garcilaso de la Vega and the Moor Tarfe, «Cercada está Santa Fe». This poem completes the panorama of romances in the apocryphal Quijote, which includes a series of texts of clear interest in patriotic and even patriotic history, as evidenced by the weight that the book gives to the romances of the cycle of Bernardo del Carpio and the War of Granada, some of which we use to analyze the text in some detail. In this way, we contrast the respective preferences of Cervantes and Avellaneda, showing what it means that the author of the apocryphal Quijote never mentions the poet Garcilaso.

Aim: This study investigated the extent to which maladaptive perfectionism predicts cognitive test anxiety, while controlling for the effects of sex and age, in undergraduate students from the inland region of Piauí, Brazil. Method: A total of 224 undergraduate students from the city of Piripiri, Piauí (Mage = 24.48; SD = 6.14) participated in the study. Most were female (77.7%), enrolled in public institutions (70.1%), and mainly pursuing degrees in Pedagogy (37.6%), Chemistry (11.6%), and Law (8.9%). Participants completed the short version of the Almost Perfect Scale, the Cognitive Test Anxiety Scale, and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Results: Hierarchical multiple linear regression indicated that maladaptive perfectionism (β = 0.56; p < .001) and sex (β = -0.20; p < .001) were significant predictors of cognitive test anxiety, accounting for approximately 39% of the total variance. Conclusions: The results suggest that higher levels of maladaptive perfectionism are significantly associated with increased cognitive anxiety in evaluative contexts, particularly among female students. These findings highlight the need for future research exploring the underlying mechanisms of this association in university populations.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic emphasized the need for behavioral interventions in public health. Behavior analysts worldwide responded with research and practical strategies to address emerging challenges, particularly related to prevention, telehealth, and mental health. Objective: This narrative review aimed to identify, organize, and synthesize behavior-analytic publications on the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby improving access to and use of this knowledge. Method: The review included theoretical, basic, and applied studies published in Portuguese or English, available online without date restrictions. Sources were limited to peer-reviewed journals in behavior analysis. Results: A total of 272 documents were screened, and 62 met the inclusion criteria. These publications addressed five key domains: the adaptation of services to telehealth, promotion of safety and prevention behaviors, general mental health, social and domestic contexts, and research proposals. Most studies emphasized remote service delivery and the implementation of protective health behaviors. Conclusions: The findings demonstrate that behavior analysts made timely and relevant contributions during the pandemic, particularly by adapting clinical practices and promoting behavioral adherence to public health guidelines. These insights highlight the importance of behavioral science in shaping crisis responses and indicate promising avenues for future research and intervention.

Background: Obstetric violence is described as the imposition of hospital practices that disregard women’s autonomy during the childbirth process. Objective: To understand women's perceptions of obstetric violence in a municipality in southern Brazil. Method: This is a descriptive, qualitative study conducted between July and September 2024 with 20 women aged 18 years or older, who had given birth within the previous two years and were not in the puerperal period. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews, which were audio-recorded, transcribed using Happyscribe software, and subjected to content analysis. Results: Three thematic categories emerged: perception of obstetric violence, false perception of non-obstetric violence, and satisfaction with adequate care. Participants’ narratives revealed dehumanizing practices, such as the Kristeller maneuver, pubic hair removal, food restriction, non-consensual interventions, and violations of autonomy during childbirth. Some women did not initially identify these practices as violent, reflecting a cultural normalization of unnecessary interventions. Conclusions: Obstetric violence is perpetuated by the normalization of abusive practices in hospital settings and by the lack of awareness regarding women's rights. Humanizing care is essential to reduce such practices, ensuring autonomy and respect for women's choices during childbirth.
