This article aims to analyze teacher-researchers’ representations and practices about what they consider educational research in a higher education center specialized in early teacher training. For this purpose, the historical process that has consolidated the subfield of educational research and the different positions that structure its debate in Latin America was briefly reconstructed. The methodology included semi-structured interviews and a survey to articulate information from teacher-researchers in four dimensions related to educational research (theoretical, didactic-formative, methodological, and ethical). The results show tensions and disputes that emerge from the history and social structure of the educational intellectual field, which are explained as a structural homology within the subfield of educational research.

El personal médico-académico de la H. Universidad de Guadalajara enfrenta desafíos significativos, derivados en parte a las demandas Institucionales, sociales y de sus responsabilidades sustantivas. Es fundamental reconocer que sus actividades, especialmente las relacionadas con la investigación, se encuentran reguladas por un marco normativo que, aunque protege la práctica profesional, genera presión adicional en el personal. La búsqueda de un equilibrio entre sus roles profesionales, académicos y las expectativas Institucionales presenta numerosos retos, no solo en su labor investigativa, sino también en la docencia -particularmente en un hospital escuela- y en otras responsabilidades académicas. Este artículo expone los resultados de doce entrevistas realizadas al personal de médicos académicos, evidenciando los desafíos que enfrentan en el ejercicio de su compleja pero noble labor

Ao discutir sobre a formação da atividade de estudo profissionalizante de acadêmicos, este manuscrito almeja contribuir com o desenvolvimento de compreensões e práticas que buscam desnaturalizar o dito fracasso escolar no ensino superior. Para tanto, discute-se a relevância da unidade aprendizagem e desenvolvimento humano para a formação dos jovens adultos, especialmente dos acadêmicos. A partir disso, destaca-se a importância do desvelamento da estruturação da atividade de estudo profissionalizante no ensino superior, sobretudo suas possibilidades e limites. Por fim, enfatiza-se a importância de compreender a questão do dito fracasso escolar no ensino superior a partir de uma perspectiva histórica. Esse movimento aponta para a necessidade histórica da construção de compreensões e intervenções nas contradições que estão surgindo no ensino superior brasileiro para além do lugar comum da naturalização ou biologização dos acadêmicos.

A Programação Neurolinguística (PNL) apresenta-se como uma ferramenta capaz de permitir ao docente conhecer características dos acadêmicos em suas representações diversas, auxiliando os docentes do ensino superior no processo de ensino aprendizado. Nesta perspectiva, o presente estudo objetivou analisar o nível de concordância ou discrepância entre os sistemas representacionais da programação neurolinguística no processo de ensino aprendizado no curso de administração de uma instituição de ensino superior nos níveis de audição, visão, cinestésico e digital. Foram desenvolvidas pesquisas do tipo básica, exploratória, quanti-qualitativa e procedimentos técnicos bibliográficos e estudo de caso. Dentro deste contexto foi aplicado um teste do sistema representacional com 5 (cinco) questões de 4(quatro) alternativas aos acadêmicos e docentes do 1º ao 8º período do curso de administração de uma instituição de ensino particular. Com base nos dados levantados verificou-se que PNL pode ser material de apoio para o docente em sala e para o acadêmico no aprendizado. Com a análise dos dados, verificou-se que a PNL pode ser um material de apoio em sala de aula, onde poderá trazer resultados satisfatórios aos docentes e acadêmicos. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Programação Neurolinguística. Sistema Representacional. Ensino Superior. Docente. Acadêmicos.

N La presente producción está orientada a describir y reflexionar sobre los efectos que produce la desprofesionalización académica en el desarrollo propio de las universidades. Esto se realiza a partir de los discursos de académicos, directivos y estudiantes como actores y sujetos activos de los contextos universitarios. El trabajo corresponde a parte de los resultados de una investigación cualitativa de tipo inductiva cuyo levantamiento de información se realizó a través de la aplicación del método etnográfico. El análisis se articuló a partir de la problematización del vínculo inconexo entre académicos, su campo disciplinar y las instituciones de educación superior. La desprofesionalización académica, la distorsión de su contexto y las lógicas de la institucionalidad, se constituyen como los tópicos centrales de este trabajo, el cual concluye que estos fenómenos producen negligencias y dislocan los proyectos educativos de las instituciones de educación superior.

This article explores how university professors balance their work and family commitments from a personalist bioethical perspective. Combining a literature review with interviews with educators, it highlights the importance of labor policies that promote work-family balance, such as flexible schedules and a supportive environment, directly linked to job satisfaction and emotional well-being. The challenges of work-family conflict, including increased stress and reduced job satisfaction, are identified. The study argues that personalist bioethics, focusing on personal integrity, self-determination, and well-being, is crucial for addressing these challenges and emphasizes the need for ethical reflection in institutional decision-making affecting academics, always seeking a balance that promotes their well-being and that of their families.

O objetivo do estudo é analisar a capacidade de planejamento e gestão das finanças pessoais dos alunos de Ciências Contábeis da Universidade Estadual do Centro-Oeste (UNICENTRO), no Campus Santa Cruz. Para o desenvolvimento deste estudo, realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva, com abordagem quantitativa. A amostra compreendeu 152 acadêmicos do curso de Ciências Contábeis, e os dados foram submetidos a estatística descritiva, análise de variância (Anova) e regressão linear. Os achados indicam que ter filhos reflete de forma significativa na preferência ao crédito. Com relação ao gerenciamento de receitas e despesas e visão de curto prazo, verificou-se que os lares que possuem mais pessoas apresentam uma relação significativa. Observou-se que os grupos familiares em que a renda varia de R$ 3.001,00 a R$ 5.200,00 possuem uma relação significativa na visão de curto prazo desses acadêmicos, assim, infere-se que o planejamento é direcionado apenas para o curto prazo.

During the Third Ecuadorian National Congress on Landscape Restoration (CERP 2021), the Tropical Research Center on Environment and Biodiversity of the Universidad Nacional de Loja organized a workshop to promote dialog to discuss the ecological restoration needs that the country must address. The workshop relied on the virtual presence of participants from NGOs, governmental organizations, private enterprises, local farmers, and researchers, as well as about 100 attendees, who also presented their opinions in the virtual platform. According to the participants, the priorities in Ecuador are: i) creation of manuals for identification of suitable perennial plant species in every Ecuadorian ecosystem and in accordance with the specific restoration goals, ii) a compilation of restoration techniques (considering the ecosystem and local knowledge), iii) inclusion of non-vascular plants from early successional stages, iv) exploration of plant-animal interactions, v) monitoring of restoration practices, vi) inclusion of the socioeconomic aspects of restoration, vii) incorporation of the forest landscape restoration approach, viii) research of propagation strategies, ix) evaluation of effectiveness of policies and laws regarding restoration, and x) improving compatibility of restoration with productive activities. Participants proposed the compilation of all research priorities in a national research agenda on restoration, and the significant improvement of knowledge transfer and dissemination.

O estresse é um evento psicossocial com efeitos biológicos que ocorrem na percepção de uma ameaça real ou imaginária que pode afetar a integridade psicológica ou física de um indivíduo. Sendo assim, objetificou-se identificar o nível de estresse e os fatores contribuintes percebidos em acadêmicos de enfermagem da Universidade Estadual de Roraima. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, descritivo, com abordagem quantitativa com 55 acadêmicos do curso de Enfermagem de uma instituição pública. Os dados foram coletados entre dezembro de 2022 e abril de 2023. Aplicou-se questionário para caracterização dos dados sociodemográficos, acadêmicos, de sono, atividade física e alimentação. O Nível de estresse foi avaliado por meio da Escala de Percepção de Estresse-10. A análise de dados realizou-se por meio do Microsoft Office Excel® 2020 e do Software Jamovi. Os resultados preliminares indicam que a média de idade dos discentes foi de 22,3 anos (dp=2,3), prevalecendo os indivíduos do gênero feminino, cor parda, solteiro, sem filhos, residindo na capital, carro como principal meio de transporte, morando com os pais, sem atividade laboral, satisfeitos com o curso, mantendo atividade física regular, sem alimentação saudável e média de sono de 6,4 horas (dp=1,6). Em relação ao nível de estresse verificou-se que a média dos domínios positivos foi (57,7) e dos domínios negativos foi (70,0). O domínio negativo que inclui facetas como ansiedade, impaciência e incompetência teve destaque, evidenciando que o nível de estresse é um indicador significativo no que tange a saúde mental e a qualidade de vida dos acadêmicos de Enfermagem.

Risk behavior for eating disorders and body image dissatisfaction in university students from a college institution Eating disorders (ED) are characterized by inadequacies in consumption and/or eating behavior and have been highlighted in recent years in populations other than obesity, such as university students. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate dissatisfaction with body image and risk eating attitudes for ED in university students from a college institution. Dissatisfaction with body image was assessed using the “Body Shape Questionnaire” (BSQ8C) and attitudes towards ED risk were assessed using the “Eating Attitudes Test” (EAT-26) questionnaire. A total of 407 university students were included (82.6% were women). Mean age was 24.3  6.4 years, with no differences between men and women (p=0.944). In the sample, 40.3% were classified as overweight (BMI > 25 kg/m2 ). In terms of food, 25.6% said they had an unhealthy diet. In the BSQ-8C, 159 university students (39.1%) showed severe body image dissatisfaction, especially women when compared to men (44.6% and 12.7%, respectively, p<0.001). In the EAT-26, 35.6% of university students showed risky eating behavior for ED. In the correlation analysis, risk behavior for eating disorders, characterized by the highest score on the EAT-26, was positively correlated with weight (r=0.156, p=0.002) and BMI (r=0.255, p<0001). In addition, there was a positive correlation between the severity of body image dissatisfaction and risk attitudes for ED. Thus, the present research demonstrated a high prevalence of dissatisfaction with body image and risk attitudes for ED in university students, especially among women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In disputes over public policy, public debates often hinge on the argument involving policy knowledge. One approach for studying policy knowledge is the Advocacy Coalition Framework, which theorizes that advocacy coalitions form around coherent beliefs partly about policy knowledge and invest in policy knowledge by working with expert allies. This article examines the role of academics, a type of expert, in discourse about South Korea's adversarial nuclear energy policy debates. Using Discourse Network Analyzer, we collect and analyze text from 502 South Korean newspaper articles from 2016 through 2019. We find that academics align with distinctive discourse involving policy knowledge in coalitions. However, we also show that there exist weak or inconsistent associations between some academics' centrality and the intensity of policy conflict. The findings contribute to understanding policy knowledge, the distinctive discourse of experts, and a systematic study of controversial policy making in a non‐Western country.

O estudo objetivou investigar a implementação de dois núcleos do PELC em uma Instituição Federal de Ensino Superior em Campo Grande/MS e a participação popular na estruturação. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória e documental, com análise de conteúdo. Os resultados indicam que a implementação do programa ocorreu a partir da consulta online junto a população sobre sua preferência em relação ao conteúdo, dias e horários dos atendimentos, com as tomadas de decisão dos gestores, em sua maioria, convergindo com os anseios pontuados pelos participantes. A implantação do programa no âmbito universitário se mostrou relevante, haja vista que aumentou as possibilidades dos estudantes terem experiências com o lazer. Conclui-se que o programa pautou-se em princípios de participação popular, reconhecendo e acolhendo as indicações dos participantes na implementação. Palavras-chaves: Políticas Públicas; Esporte; Lazer; Acadêmicos.

Undertaking qualitative research requires flexibility in academics, because researching peoples' lifeworlds is an inherently messy process because the lived realities of those being researched can be convoluted and changing. Academics make structured research designs with the implicit knowledge that the research will not happen in a linear way. This knowledge takes time and experience to achieve. In this article I propose flexible methodologies to describe researchers' adaptability in terms of their methods, techniques, positionalities, roles, and changes in the research plan. For my PhD research looking at a range of urban places and spaces in Dublin, by being fluid in my research from the beginning, I was able to gain a deeper understanding of the lifeworlds of my participants, and I demonstrate this with three vignettes from my own research. Rather than adjusting my research plan as problems occurred, I instead began with a flexible approach. I argue that beginning with flexibility can aid graduate students in understanding changes and developments in research as a positive, necessary shift in the research plan and is helpful to beginner researchers but also their supervisors. Flexible methodologies are a pragmatic approach for PhD students and early career researchers to achieve their research aims. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The dictatorships that ravaged Argentina during the 1960s and 1970s produced a profound restructuring of the universities and the scientific and technological research system. With their research and teaching activities decimated, public institutions suffered the closure of their academic spaces, defunding and ideological persecution. In contrast to this panorama which characterised a large part of the public academic environment, a considerable number of private institutions dedicated to social science research developed during the 1960s --and even with more momentum from the mid-1970s onwards--. These became an alternative to the extreme instability and repression of the public sphere. Most of these centres functioned as a kind of intellectual refuge for a not insignificant number of economists, sociologists, political scientists and historians who found a space of protection and relative autonomy. This phenomenon brought about changes in the ways of doing social sciences in the region, thematic, theoretical and methodological openings, as well as fluid dialogues with other national contexts. The Consejo Latinoamericano de Ciencias Sociales (clacso), which has always been based in Buenos Aires, stood out among these institutions for its regional multi-site presence, its institutional strength and that of its several member centres, its funding capacity as well as the protection it received from international organisations and agencies. Throughout this article we will analyse the activities carried out by clacso during the last dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983). We will do so on the basis of a study of their publication titled David and Goliath. clacso Bulletin, the main source of our research. It quickly became the main means of disseminating activities as well as a space for reflection, critical analysis and coordination among Latin American intellectuals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

O metilfenidato é um medicamento capaz de causar alterações comportamentais, de humor e, devido seus efeitos psicoestimulantes, vem sendo utilizado de forma indiscriminada entre os estudantes para melhorar o desempenho acadêmico. O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a prevalência do uso de metilfenidato entre estudantes universitários, bem como, seus efeitos. A pesquisa é uma revisão sistemática de literatura, em que foram reunidos artigos de forma abrangente e não tendenciosa sobre o uso indiscriminado de metilfenidato entre estudantes universitários. Os artigos foram escolhidos a partir das bases eletrônicas SCIELO, Google Acadêmico e LILACS e selecionados 27, publicados entre os anos de 2008 e 2019. O Rio Grande do Sul apresentou a maior quantidade de artigos sobre o tema, entretanto, os estados do Rio de Janeiro e São Paulo manifestaram os maiores números para o uso indiscriminado do medicamento entre os estudantes, nos anos de 2013 e 2014. Registraram-se 17 efeitos negativos em relação ao consumo da droga. São eles: taquicardia/palpitação, boca seca, perda de apetite, ansiedade, cefaleia, insônia, cansaço após uso, náuseas, aumento do estresse, dose dependência, tremores, tremores nas mãos, arritmia, anorexia, declínio da sensação de bem-estar, visão turva e euforia. Nesse sentido, foi possível verificar um levantamento geral, do período de 2008 a 2019, sobre a prática do uso inadequado do metilfenidato pelos acadêmicos brasileiros, verificando os benefícios e os malefícios dessa prática inconsequente. Os dados compilados servirão como parâmetro para outras pesquisas, assim como para o desenvolvimento de medidas preventivas e de conscientização.

Introdução: O ingresso na universidade causa alterações no estilo de vida da sociedade e induzem alterações nos hábitos alimentares com repercussão na qualidade de vida e saúde dos estudantes. Objetivo: Avaliar o consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados e estado nutricional de acadêmicos do curso de nutrição. Materiais e Métodos: Estudo de caráter descritivo, transversal, quantitativo, realizado mediante aplicação de Questionário de Frequência Alimentar. Resultados: A amostra foi composta por 145 acadêmicos de nutrição, com média de idade 23,30 ± 4,70. O do sexo feminino apresentou maior prevalência (85%). As informações do estado nutricional, revelaram que 27,6% dos participantes apresentavam sobrepeso e obesidade. Quanto ao consumo de alimentos ultraprocessados, identificou- se a prevalência no consumo de salsicha, linguiça, bacon/toucinho e mortadela. O consumo de maionese, batata frita, pizza, balas, pirulitos e chicletes também se mostraram habituais. Conclusão: Apesar de se tratar de futuros profissionais detentores de conhecimento da ciência nutricional, o presente estudo conclui- que os acadêmicos do curso de graduação em Nutrição apresentam hábitos alimentares inadequados, contrariando as perspectivas de adesão ao estilo de vida saudável. Deste modo, torna- se necessário a instituição de discussões acerca desta temática e a importância de se introduzir o conhecimento adquirido no cotidiano e o autocuidado alimentar.

The internationalization of higher education has gained in theoretical and empirical importance in recent decades. In this context, this article aims to describe and analyze the internationalization of business schools from the activities of their academics and based on the propositions defended by the Social Exchange Theory (SET). To achieve our goal we conducted 39 interviews with academics from business schools in the United States and Brazil, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard, Getulio Vargas Foundation (FGV) and University of Sao Paulo (USP). We found that: (i) there are individual rewards that are not addressed by SET; (ii) there are benefits to third parties not covered by SET; (iii) certain non-rational choices are not provided by SET; and (iv) the condition of equivalence between costs and rewards provided by SET has its weaknesses. With these findings we add theoretical and empirical contributions to our theme. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article looks at the recent development of cultural policy in Malta in the context of the membership of the University of Malta in the SEA-EU network. The introductory part of the narrative engages closely with preparations in joining the European Union in 2004 that included the setting up of various governance and funding institutions, those related to the European Capital of Culture in 2018, and the impact of COVID-19 on cultural practice and creative communities. This first section, which provides a critical analysis of the sector, is followed by the second, core part of the text, which reports on the various aspects of policy, higher education programmes and manifestations (through festivals, exhibitions and multi-media expressions) that relate to academics and researchers based at the University of Malta and satellite institutions. The paper concludes that while a great deal of effort has been done on many cultural fronts, and many initiatives taken, the relationship between the University of Malta, its academic and research members, and society at large, is largely loose and project-based rather than policy-oriented.

Durante los años de formación universitaria en los estudios de comunicación social, sobre todo el ámbito de la comunicación estratégica, existe una cierta preferencia por el uso de la jerga en inglés tanto por parte de los/las académicos, como de los/las profesionales, a pesar de que la mayoría de palabras tienen su propia traducción al español. Nos referimos a términos como “target”, en vez de público objetivo, “timing”, en vez de cronograma, “packaging”, en lugar de embalaje, etc. Este fenómeno se denomina “anglomanía en el mundo de la comunicación”, en el que se hace un uso abusivo del inglés frente al español en la jerga del sector de la comunicación en España. Las personas profesionales, académicas y usuarias de esta jerga sustituyen el uso de términos en español por términos en inglés, sea o no necesario. Por medio de esta investigación, se realiza una comparativa del uso de anglicismos entre el sector profesional y entre el sector con el fin de analizar dicho uso y su frecuencia y, además, de comprobar si existe una correlación adecuada del uso entre ambos sectores en favor de una formación universitaria eficaz y acorde con el mercado laboral. En las conclusiones se observa que el uso de tecnicismos en inglés en la jerga de la comunicación es una realidad, pero no coinciden ni la cantidad de tecnicismos que usan los/las profesionales con respecto a los académicos, ni la selección de anglicismos que se utilizan en cada ámbito.

A esteatose hepática é uma patologia que acomete o fígado e é caracterizada pelo aumento da gordura visceral ocasionando lesões hepáticas. Seu desenvolvimento pode estar associado ao estilo de vida sedentário; à hábitos alimentares não saudáveis; bem como ao uso de tabaco, medicamentos e bebidas alcoólicas, principalmente em jovens universitários devido à alteração de sua rotina. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do trabalho foi avaliar o perfil hepático dos acadêmicos por meio das enzimas TGO, TGP e Gama GT, correlacionando tal perfil com dados obtidos por questionário quanto ao consumo alimentar, ingestão alcoólica, uso de tabaco e a prática de atividade física. Para isso, realizou-se um estudo de corte transversal analítico em indivíduos de ambos os gêneros, com idade entre 18 e 30 anos e de diferentes cursos em que estes acadêmicos preencheram o formulário e realizaram a coleta venosa para as análises laboratoriais. Foram avaliados 46 acadêmicos de diferentes cursos, sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (67,40%), solteiros (93,5%), sedentários (73,91%) e que fazem uso de bebidas alcoólicas (63,04%) por pelo menos 3 vezes na semana. Dos acadêmicos analisados, foram 22% que apresentaram alterações na dosagem sérica das enzimas hepáticas, fato que é relevante e preocupante em se tratando de uma comunidade tão jovem e com fortes indícios negativos quanto ao cuidado com a saúde.

Las universidades se han consolidado como instituciones generadoras de aconocimiento a tal grado que, en México y Latinoamérica, son los principales espacios para desarrollar investigación y los que más aportan a la producción científica del país. En el contexto de educación superior la investigación funge como misión de la universidad aunada a la docencia y extensión del conocimiento, convirtiéndose en un indicador de la calidad educativa medida a través de la producción científica que reportan sus investigadores. Lo anterior ha hecho que las universidades desplieguen acciones para favorecer y promover la investigación en sus académicos y académicas. A pesar de esto, en universidades públicas áreas disciplinares como las ciencias sociales muestran un rezago en la actividad científica y sus indicadores. Con relación a lo anterior, el presente estudio tiene por objetivo indagar en torno a los factores individuales que favorecen la producción científica de académicos y académicas en la División de Ciencias Sociales en la Universidad de Sonora (UniSon). El estudio desarrolla una metodología cuantitativa, no experimental, considerando como muestra 40 investigadores reconocidos por el Sistema Nacional de Investigadores (SNI). Los resultados vislumbran nuevas prácticas en la producción científica en esta área, la relevancia epistemológica de la formación en investigación, así como los retos que aún enfrenta.
