Currently, society demands medical and psychopedagogical sciences, among others, for prevention, in newborns at risk of suffering from a special condition or in children affected by established deficiencies. The existence of the human being depends not only on what he brings with him, but also on what the environment is capable of providing him through stimuli. If we take this approach into consideration, it is easy to understand the need for inter-institutional coordination and collaboration within the framework of early care. The purpose of this research is to address the essential elements to explain the evaluation process from early care in the diversity of educational contexts. For this, theoretical and empirical methods were used that revealed the results of the study carried out. If we want to achieve an ecological, positive, developmental, collaborative and systematic diagnosis; These elements could well be the starting point. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Research conducted by UC3M MediaLab during the PredCov project on communication during the pandemic is reviewed. A national survey was conducted with 1,800 people to examine the information consumption behavior about the pandemic in Spain. The results indicated that ideology and age are determining factors influencing the choice of different sources of information, as well as the perception towards vaccines. Additionally, the survey revealed that the main sources of information consulted during the pandemic were the traditional media and health authorities. With regard to media coverage, there was a strong focus on the COVID-19 vaccines, characterized by a mostly positive tone. More in-depth reports on vaccines were published compared to the pre-pandemic period. Also, public discourse on Twitter regarding vaccines was examined, identifying a greater number of contents associated with a positive attitude towards vaccination. The analysis was extended to public discourse on Twitter in Spanish, French, English and Portuguese, during crises related to the AstraZeneca vaccine and the Omicron variant. The project closed the gap in vaccine communication research in Spain. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The emancipatory pattern has allowed the foundation and development of the nursing discipline, towards a way of thinking from critical theory. The purpose of the study is to reflect on the possibility that the nursing professional has to develop through the personal pattern a strategy for the emancipation of consciousness in heteronormative-patriarchal structures within the control state apparatuses (health institutions) where technification, medicalization and pathologization of life is above self-care and health care as a human experience. To address the issue, the analytical category of Gender was used in a transversal way, which allows to make visible the power relations that generate inequalities based on sexual difference. Then, it is understood that all things, people or professions perceived as feminine (as in the case of the nursing profession) are subordinated and oppressed compared to those perceived as masculine. Caring and knowledge patterns for self-care are proposed as resistance to inequalities generated by the integration of the biomedical-heteropatriarchal model in nursing thought and practice.

Objective. To determinate the clarity, relevance and pertinence of a primary health care evaluation strategy for different Latin American health sub-systems. Material and Methods. This strategy was assessed using workshops held with decision makers and administrative managers from a public health organization, a social insurance and a private insurance health organization. The study took place in the province of Santa Fe (Argentina) between May 2006 and May 2007. Results.
