Validación y verifi cación de métodos de ensayos. Un dilema en los laboratorios de ensayos y en las auditorías de la acreditación

Abstract: El presente articulo tiene como objetivo fundamental establecer en forma clara y sencilla la diferencia entre validacion y verificacion de un metodo de ensayo. Se presenta una breve discusion de la seleccion y validacion de los metodos de ensayos establecidos en la norma ISO/IEC 17025:2005. Se describe el proceso de normalizacion de un metodo. Se describen brevemente los parametros de la validacion como indicadores caracteristicos del desempeno del metodo, brindando algunas breves orientaciones para su aplicacion. Se presentan algunos contenidos de metodos normalizados, indicando las especificaciones a partir de los datos de validacion. Y por ultimo se describe el proceso de verificacion y su diferencia con la validacion, haciendo enfasis en la confirmacion de las especificaciones del metodo.

Conflictos y relaciones en los equipos de trabajo de las organizaciones

Abstract: El articulo tiene como objetivo mostrar algunas reflexiones en torno a los conflictos que se presentan dentro de los equipos de trabajo. Haciendo una observacion en las distintas actitudes y acciones de los integrantes de grupos de trabajo, surge la gran inquietud de saber por que hay tanta friccion en las relaciones interpersonales; quizas sea parte de la competitividad nata del ser humano o simplemente se involucran otros factores aun no valorados ni reconocidos a la hora de comprender y contratar al talento humano, como lo son las habilidades sociales que posee cada quien para resolver conflictos, dar su opinion y saber defender la razon por encima de su ego

Monitoring of Intracranial Pressure in Patients with Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: Review

Abstract: Traumatic brain injury is a very heterogeneous entity that emerges over time. The neuromonitoring is critical for the prevention of secondary alterations, such as ischemia and hypoxia, which appear days after a primary injury. Neurosurgeons must understand that the phenomena are secondary to the primary lesion. Advances in multimodal neuromonitoring techniques have allowed evaluation of brain metabolism as well as other physiological parameters, including intracranial pressure, cerebral perfusion pressure, cerebral blood flow, brain temperature, blood pressure, and partial pressure of oxygen in brain tissue.

Educación para la salud en currículo educativo: Promoción de la salud y calidad de vida

Abstract: This reflective article gathers theoretical elements of a broad bibliographic review on health education and its importance in the educational curriculum, part of it, also includes experiential elements of the dynamics of society against the social determinants and determinants of health, an encounter with technology consumerism and globalization. Seen from public health, some authors have revealed the determinants of health to give a special treatment based on the prevention of diseases and health promotion, for the balance between the individual and the conditioning elements of the environment; In this context, the importance of including in the educational curriculum at the different levels of training the construction of knowledge competencies in relation to health education is emphasized, with the understanding that the joint society has an enormous responsibility in the dynamics of maintenance of individual and collective health, with self-sustainability in terms of time, taking as a reference the life expectancy of the population, as Abraham Lincoln mentions: “In the end, what matters is not the years of life, but the life of the years”. So it is not enough to live so many years if we live poorly, if the quality of life is not satisfactory.

The earliest burial from the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua: the Angi shell-matrix site

Abstract: The Caribbean coast of Nicaragua has witnessed relatively little archaeological research. In the last decade, however, there has been a substantial effort to record regional archaeological sites. First excavated in the early 1970s, the Angi shell-matrix site has been subject to new investigations, which have identified the first burial to be recorded on the Nicaraguan Caribbean coast. Although collagen preservation was insufficient for direct radiocarbon dating, samples obtained from surrounding deposits date the burial to c. 3900 BC. This represents both the earliest archaeological feature recorded to date on the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua and the oldest-known human remains from the region.
