In this study we identify diverse experiences of Psychology students during online classes, within the framework of covid-19, and in face-to-face classes during the post-pandemic period. Based on a sociocultural psychology approach, we analyzed aspects of these experiences and their impact on the students' learning, emotions and socialization with peers. Five open-ended questionnaires were applied online over two semesters of face-to-face classes and a content analysis was conducted. We observed that students valued the face-to-face classes, felt happy, more focused on academics and content with their social life. However, they considered that online classes are advantageous because they allow them to save money and time in traveling to school. We thus concluded that in both modalities the students learned to recognize and highlight the advantages and inconveniences of each one. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article describes and compares the comprehensive waste management (GIR) and comprehensive water resources management (GIRH) in the northeast region of Uruguay from a perspective of territorial governance and sustainable development. It examines national environmental regulations and their application in the departments of Rivera, Cerro Largo, and Tacuarembó, framed by the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The article seeks to identify milestones in the process and considers the participation of non-state actors in the sustainable development of the territory. Two executing units were created in Uruguay based on Law 19,889: the National Directorate of Quality and Environmental Evaluation and the National Directorate of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. Additionally, there are other entities such as the National Water Directorate, the Climate Change Unit, and the National Climate Change Response System. In the Northeast region of the country, composed of the departments of Rivera, Cerro Largo, and Tacuarembó, there are challenges in the comprehensive management of waste and water resources due to a lack of economic diversification and low human development indices. In Tacuarembó, projects for waste management have been promoted, such as the Uruguay Classifies program and the Green and Inclusive Curtina project. In Rivera, waste management initiatives have been carried out for over 20 years, such as the Your Battery is Worth It program and the Pilot Plan for Packaging Management. The article presents information on solid waste management and water governance in the departments of Rivera and Cerro Largo in Uruguay. In Rivera, various programs and projects have been implemented to improve the final disposal of waste, including selective collection, recycling, and material reuse. In Cerro Largo, there is a lack of attention from the departmental government in waste management, although the construction of a sanitary landfill and a recycling plant have been proposed. Regarding water governance, the creation of the National Water Directorate and the implementation of the National Water Policy in Uruguay are highlighted. The article presents the creation of the National Council for Water, Environment, and Territory in Uruguay, with the aim of formulating a national water resources management plan. The importance of sustainable, integrated, and participatory water resources management is emphasized, with the participation of the government, users, and civil society. The creation of regional water resources councils and basin and aquifer commissions is mentioned to ensure the representativeness of local actors and address conflicts related to water use. The National Water Plan approved in 2017 and ongoing efforts to improve water quality in the Negro River basin are also mentioned. The importance of inter-institutional coordination and multi-actor participation in water resources management is highlighted. The Northeast region has consolidated governance in water matters, with a multi-level and multi-actor approach. The departments of Rivera and Tacuarembó have a long history of institutional coordination in watershed management. As for waste management, this region has recently incorporated governance into its environmental regulations and agenda. There is a favorable link between the national and subnational levels in terms of environmental policies, and the participation of local actors, including environmental NGOs, has been strengthened. The challenge is to achieve effective coordination among different actors and resolve conflicts in the multi-actor network. [Extracted from the article]

The objective of this study is to analyze the experiences psychology students narrated after intervening with adolescents at secondary schools. Based on qualitative research and a focus on cultural psychology, we carried out in-depth interviews to analyze the movement of students from the classroom to their applied field, from theory to practice, and the co-construction processes of their strategies as they began to think of themselves as professionals in psychology. The results underline the aspects of relational skill in the process: the way they expressed what was important for them by identifying the needs of others, and the way they responded to those needs. We also emphasize that since all of their rel ections expressed an emotional/thinking/acting self, any analysis of the appropriation and implementation of professional skills must consider the student in an integral manner, always within social contexts of practice.

Background The percentage of alcohol dependents who attend self-help groups increased from 33.4% in 2008 to 43.7% in 2011 according to the National Surveys of Addictions. Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and their Twelve Steps program represent the main model for self-help in Mexico. The 12th Step or carrying the message is a common strategy to attract new members into AA groups and it is done frequently at hospital wards. Objective To describe the activity of carrying the message in a hospital context in order to identify the meanings involved and how AA members relate to the patients. Method An ethnographic approach was used to observe the activity of nine AA's members in a third level hospital in Mexico City over a ten-month period. The activity system model was used for data organization and interpretation. Results The carrying the message activity consists of six core moments: 1. Self-introduction of the recovering alcoholic; 2. Defining alcoholism as an incurable disease; 3. AA's Twelve Steps as an alternative; 4. Self-diagnosis; 5. Ask about consumption; 6. Invitation to hospital AA's group meetings. The AA's member uses personal experience's stories to convey AA vision about alcoholism and recovering. Discussion and conclusion The carrying the message activity is mainly oriented by the meaning of alcoholism-denial. The AA's actions are designed to avoid denial and to promote disease acceptance. Furthermore, the hospital setting itself legitimizes the AA presence and their Twelve Steps. Carrying the message presents a strategy to diminish stigma related to alcohol dependency which is one of the main obstacles for seeking help. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present work a basic research is carried out of the treatment of raw vinasse with an aerated packed filter. Three runs are made with different organic loads in g * m-2 (packing) * d-1(Ba) and with an air flow of 400 L * h-1. The Rusten model was adjusted with an adjusted R-square of 98,9245 %, and the values of maximum speed of reduction of the organic load (ΔBamax) and organic load were determined when ΔBa = 1/2 ΔBamax (k.). Efficiencies of reduction of chemical oxygen demand (COD) between 95 and 72% for loads between 10 and 20 g * m-2 * d-1 were obtained. The pH increased from 4,1 in the feed to values close to 8 in the effluents without addition of reagent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Any profession arises inside a country for diverse specific needs that appear in the course of his existence. In case of the Librarians, the motivations of the creation of a formal instance for his education are deeply related to the information needs of the Chilean intelligentsia and the creation of institutions of higher education.Together with this it is fundamental to stress the influence and the support of the American government to form professional Chilean librarians. There appears in this investigation an important critique of historical elements, which report facts happened between the year 1913 and 1972; as well as the names of those who led and made possible the beginning and development of the profession librarian in Chile, staying in evidence the vital support received in the first years of the career from American institutions.
