Resumen: La noción de responsabilidad social está adquiriendo y adquirirá mayor importancia con el paso del tiempo, como consecuencia de la concienciación mundial sobre la necesidad de comprender al ...ser humano y el efecto de las múltiples interacciones en el bienestar de nuestras sociedades, especialmente en la salud. Por ello, todas las instituciones y todos los ciudadanos estarán llamados a asumir alguna responsabilidad para mantenerla y sostenerla.En septiembre de 2022 fue presentada en Bruselas la Red Iberófona para la Responsabilidad Social en Salud, su finalidad es responder de forma eficaz a las demandas de salud de nuestras poblaciones, a través de una estrecha colaboración entre todos los países de habla española y portuguesa de África, América, Asia y Europa que configuran lo que se ha denominado países de la Iberofonía. Este «territorio» geopolítico agrupa 30 países y más de 800 millones de personas cuya salud es responsabilidad de todos los implicados en los sistemas sanitarios y de los profesionales que en ellos trabajan. En el contexto mundial actual, volátil, incierto, complejo y ambiguo, tal vez el de mayor incertidumbre que las generaciones actuales hayamos vivido, con guerras, pandemias, crisis medioambientales, económicas, desarrollo tecnológico como la inteligencia artificial y un largo etcétera, necesitamos urgentemente trabajar de forma conjunta, para responder de forma eficaz a las demandas de salud de nuestras poblaciones, que cada vez más desconfían de la gestión que hacen sus gobernantes, políticos e instituciones para preservar y mantener su salud. Promover una red basada en la historia en común y en nuestra forma de ver el mundo, seguramente distinta de la visión anglosajona más extendida y patrocinada, es el reto al que le invitamos a participar. El propósito de este artículo es presentar la visión y las líneas estratégicas de este proyecto. Abstract: The notion of social responsibility is becoming and will become more important as time goes by, because of the global awareness of the need to understand the human being and the effect of multiple interactions on the well-being of our societies, especially on health. Therefore, all institutions and all citizens will be called upon to assume some responsibility for maintaining and sustaining it.In September 2022, the Iberophone Network for Social Accountability in Health (RIRSS) was presented in Brussels, with the aim of responding effectively to the health demands of our populations, through close collaboration between all the Spanish Portuguese-speaking countries of Africa, America, Asia, and Europe that make up what has been called the Iberophone countries. This geopolitical ''territory'' groups, together thirty countries and more than 800 million people, whose health is the responsibility of all those involved in the health systems and the professionals who work in them. In the current global context, volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous, perhaps the major uncertainty that current generations have ever experienced, with wars, pandemics, environmental and economic crises, technological developments such as artificial intelligence and much more, we urgently need to work together to respond effectively to the health demands of our populations, who are increasingly distrustful of the management of their governments, politicians and institutions to preserve and maintain their health. Promoting a network based on our common history and our way of seeing the world, surely different from the most widespread and sponsored Anglo-Saxon vision, is the challenge, we invite you to take part in. The purpose of this article is to present the vision and strategic lines of this project.
This research aimed to examine the association of job engagement among dental faculties in Kerala with certain sociodemographic and job-related factors. Job engagement levels were assessed using the ...Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, and comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U-test and Kruskal-Wallis test. The findings revealed significant differences in job engagement based on the type of college, level of autonomy, and provision for time-bound cadre promotions. It also provided insights into the nonsignificant effects of gender, age, experience, and income on job engagement. The study contributes to the existing literature on employee engagement and provides valuable insights for organizations aiming to improve employee productivity and overall performance. Future research can build upon these findings to explore additional factors influencing job engagement and expand the understanding of work engagement in different contexts.
Mathematics for Hume is the exemplary field of demonstrative knowledge. Ideally, this knowledge is a priori as it arises only from the comparison of ideas without any further empirical input; it is ...certain because demonstration consist of steps that are intuitively evident and infallible; and it is also necessary because the possibility of its falsity is inconceivable as it would imply a contradiction. But this is only the ideal, because demonstrative sciences are human enterprises and as such they are just as fallible as their human practitioners. According to the reading suggested here, Hume develops a radical sceptical challenge for mathematics, and thereby he undermines the knowledge claims associated with demonstrative reasoning. But Hume does not stop there: he also offers resources for a sceptical solution to this challenge, one that appeals crucially to social practices, and sketches the social genealogy of a community-wide mathematical certainty. While explaining this process, he relies on the conceptual resources of his faculty psychology that helps him to distinguish between the metaphysics and practices of mathematical knowledge. His account explains why we have reasons to be dubious about our reasoning capacities, and also how human nature and sociability offers some remedy from these epistemic adversities.
The present study aims to bring out the contribution of women faculty in the discipline of Physics in select institutions of Delhi. The study covers a total of 44 women faculties and their 802 ...publications during the period of 2011-2015 collected from various sources. The study presents a scientometrics analysis of 463 journal articles. The study focuses on authorship pattern, research interest areas, most productive authors, most used journals etc. The study indicates that multi-authored papers were dominated. Ratnamala Chatterjee from IIT Delhi found to be the most productive author and Journal of Applied Physics is the most preferred journal. CSIR-National Physical Laboratory was leading institution in publishing journal articles (145). It was noticed that majority of women authors preferred to be the second author while writing the paper jointly.

In this book, Ernest Sosa explains the nature of knowledge through an approach originated by him years ago, known as virtue epistemology. Here he provides the first comprehensive account of his views ...on epistemic normativity as a form of performance normativity on two levels. On a first level is found the normativity of the apt performance, whose success manifests the performer's competence. On a higher level is found the normativity of the meta-apt performance, which manifests not necessarily first-order skill or competence but rather the reflective good judgment required for proper risk assessment. Sosa develops this bi-level account in multiple ways, by applying it to issues much disputed in recent epistemology: epistemic agency, how knowledge is normatively related to action, the knowledge norm of assertion, and theMenoproblem as to how knowledge exceeds merely true belief. A full chapter is devoted to how experience should be understood if it is to figure in the epistemic competence that must be manifest in the truth of any belief apt enough to constitute knowledge. Another takes up the epistemology of testimony from the performance-theoretic perspective. Two other chapters are dedicated to comparisons with ostensibly rival views, such as classical internalist foundationalism, a knowledge-first view, and attributor contextualism. The book concludes with a defense of the epistemic circularity inherent in meta-aptness and thereby in the full aptness of knowing full well.
A frightening new plague. A medical mystery. A pioneering immunologist. In A Plague on All Our Houses, Dr. Bruce J. Hillman dissects the war of egos, money, academic power, and Hollywood clout that ...advanced AIDS research even as it compromised the career of the scientist who discovered the disease. At the beginning of the worldwide epidemic soon to be known as AIDS, Dr. Michael Gottlieb was a young immunologist new to the faculty of UCLA Medical Center. In 1981 he was brought in to consult on a battery of unusual cases: four formerly healthy gay men presenting with persistent fever, weight loss, and highly unusual infections. Other physicians around the country had noted similar clusters of symptoms, but it was Gottlieb who first realized that these patients had a new and deadly disease. He also identified the defect in their immune system that allowed the disease to flourish. He published his findings in a now-iconic lead article in the New England Journal of Medicine-an impressive achievement for such a young scientist-and quickly became the focal point of a whirlwind of panic, envy, desperation, and distrust that played out against a glittering Hollywood backdrop. Courted by the media, the gay community, and the entertainment industry, Gottlieb emerged as the medical face of the terrifying new epidemic when he became personal physician to Rock Hudson, the first celebrity AIDS patient. With Elizabeth Taylor he cofounded the charitable foundation amfAR, which advanced public awareness of AIDS and raised vast sums for research, even as it struggled against political resistance that began with the Reagan administration and trickled down through sedimentary layers of bureaucracy. Far from supporting him, the UCLA medical establishment reacted with dismay to Gottlieb's early work on AIDS, believing it would tarnish the reputation of the Medical Center. Denied promotion and tenure in 1987, Gottlieb left UCLA for private practice just as the National Institutes of Health awarded the institution a $10 million grant for work he had pioneered there. In the thirty-five years since the discovery of AIDS, research, prevention, and clinical care have advanced to the point that the disease is no longer the death sentence it once was. Gottlieb's seminal article is now regarded by the New England Journal of Medicine as one of the most significant publications of its two-hundred-year history. A Plague on All Our Houses offers a ringside seat to one of the most important medical discoveries and controversies of our time.
Background: CBME is a skill-based curriculum focusing on the desired competencies stated to be achieved by merits. To sensitize and train the faculty about CBME, the Curriculum Implementation Support ...Program (CISP) workshops have been held at various colleges across India. Aim& Objective: To find out the changes in the knowledge, perceptions and attitudes among medical teachers regarding CBME following CISP training. Methods and Material: The study carried out was cross-sectional and the data was collected before and after conduction of the CISP training programme. All the medical teachers who were enrolled in the CISP training were included in the study. The outcome result for knowledge-based questions was recorded as multiple choice options and that for attitudes and perceptions was recorded with a 5-point Likert scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Statistical analysis used: Descriptive statistics were calculated using numbers and simple proportions. Results: There was a significant improvement in the knowledge and perceptions of medical teachers following CISP training showing its impact. The perceived challenges as felt by the faculties also reduced substantially. Conclusions: Capacity building programmes must be conducted at regular intervals for faculties for successful implementation of all the components of CBME.
Objectives
Menstrual disorders are among the most prevalent health issues among young female students studying in health science faculties. This study aimed to provide insights into the menstrual ...patterns among medical faculty students and determine whether stress can be a risk factor for its various disorders.
Methods
This cross‐sectional study was conducted in the Faculties of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy at the Syrian Private University, Damascus, Syria, between October and November 2022. A total of 980 female students anonymously completed the identification of menstrual problems and the perceived stress scale (PSS) questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS‐25.
Results
The mean age of students was 21.52 ± 2.06 years. The most common menstrual disorders in this study were dysmenorrhea (88%), and premenstrual syndrome (87%). A total of 82% had mild to moderate stress, 10% had high stress, and 8% had low stress. Moderate to high perceived stress was associated with an increased risk of PMS (OR = 1.79, P = 0.0037).
Conclusion
These findings stress the importance of universities, especially health science faculties, establishing protocols for early detection and intervention in students with stress and menstrual disorders. Implementing stress reduction education and timely counseling, along with preventive measures, is crucial for students' well‐being. Further research is needed to refine interventions for this group.
Synopsis
Moderate to high perceived stress was associated with an increased risk of PMS (OR = 1.79, P = 0.0037), 88% had dysmenorrhea, and 87% had PMS.
The aim of this study was to determine the degree of integration of patient safety in the training of medical faculties at universities in Spain.
A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. ...An assessment was made of the curse syllabi of Spanish medical schools, summarizing the proportion of faculties that present each of the topics recommended in the WHO's curriculum guide.
Of the 49 faculties, access to the curse syllabus of the subjects for the academic year 2023-2024 was obtained from 38 (78%). Although 82% of the faculties integrated some patient safety topic, only 56% included between 1 and 3 of the 11 topics recommended by WHO. The maximum number of integrated topics was 7, and this was only achieved by 1 faculty.
There is progress in the incorporation of fundamental concepts in patient safety, but the comprehensive implementation of all topics recommended by the WHO in Spanish medical schools is insufficient.
