Introduction: The management of internal communication in health organizations represents a systemic and organizational tool that impacts the level of satisfaction and commitment of workers with the organization and it extends to benefit patients as users of services. Its implementation constitutes a policy of the Central Administration of the Cuban State that the management of the Ministry of Public Health prioritizes, considering it essential for the achievement of work objectives. This led to designing a procedure that would allow managing internal communication in the institution. Objective: To present the methods, techniques and procedures used to design a procedure for the management of internal communication in the Ministry of Public Health of Cuba. Results: A mixed type technological development research is proposed, applied in two phases and developed with quantitative and qualitative techniques. Conclusions: The use of quantitative and qualitative techniques allowed to identify the elements that make up a procedure to manage internal communication in the Ministry of Public Health. The processing of the data gained from the individual to the collective level facilitated the integration of knowledge to organize the design of the procedure in stages. The methodology used allowed to obtain an updated and valid procedure by experts and the internal public(AU)

RESUMO

The scope of this research was to identify and characterize spatial units of epidemiological relevance in the state of Rio de Janeiro, through the highest concentrations of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) from 1980 to 2012, considering the geographical aspects. SUCAM, FUNASA and SINAN databases were consulted. A method of adjustment of spatially referenced data for demarcation of the regions with the highest concentrations of cases called circuits and poles was applied. These were superimposed on the socioenvironmental indicator maps. Of the total cases registered in the period, 87% occurred in the municipalities located in the resulting circuits and poles. The variations in the occurrence of cases in the different circuits and poles were not related to the socioenvironmental indicators. The identification of the circuits and poles can subsidize the state CL program of the prioritization of strategies of prevention and control actions and the optimization of the resources of the program. These regions, which are more stable than the localities, allow surveillance and control operations in locations with many cases and in other locations in the identified risk area, because they have the same characteristics as those already affected.

O objetivo foi identificar e caracterizar unidades espaciais de relevância epidemiológica no estado do Rio de Janeiro, por meio das maiores concentrações de casos de leishmaniose tegumentar (LT) no período de 1980 a 2012, considerando os conceitos da geografia. Utilizou-se bancos de dados da SUCAM, FUNASA e SINAN. Foi aplicado um método de ajustamento de dados espacialmente referenciados para delimitação das regiões com as maiores concentrações de densidades de casos chamadas circuitos e polos. Estes foram sobrepostos aos mapas de indicadores socioambientais. Do total de casos registrados no período, 87% ocorreram nos municípios localizados nos circuitos e polos resultantes. As variações na ocorrência de casos nos diferentes circuitos e polos não tiveram relação com os indicadores socioambientais. A identificação dos circuitos e polos pode subsidiar o programa estadual da LT para a priorização de estratégias de ações de prevenção e controle e a otimização dos recursos do programa. Essas regiões, mais estáveis que as localidades, permitem operações de vigilância e controle nas localidades com muitos casos e nas demais da área de risco identificada, por terem as mesmas características daquelas já afetadas.

RESUMO

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Smile analysis, as part of the overall facial analysis, is an important component of diagnosis and treatment planning in the esthetic rehabilitation of a patient. Most studies that refer to smile analysis are based on static images. A more comprehensive evaluation can be made with dynamic video images that can be stopped at the most appropriate frame to ensure the best static images for analysis. PURPOSE: The purpose of this clinical study was to evaluate the posed and dynamic smiles of both sexes, considering the type of smile, prevalence of gingival display, dental display at rest, dentogingival display at posed and spontaneous smile, and lip mobility, through digital image acquisition (photographs and video clips) manipulated by using a software program. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Three photographs and 1 video clip were made for each of the 380 voluntary participants aged between 18 and 32 years by using an iPhone 6 iSight 8 MP camera, Moment lens, and artificial 5500 Kelvin light (IceLight). Digital files were evaluated by using a software program (Keynote), determining each point to be evaluated with posed and spontaneous smiles. RESULTS: With static images, 90% of women and 74% of men had gingival display, with only 35% of women and 21% of men having continuous gingival display. With dynamic analysis, these values increased to 100% of women and 95% of men having gingival display and 62% of men and 81% of women having a continuous gingival display (P<.05). The difference between dentogingival display during posed and spontaneous smiles was clear, with 68% of the participants having 2.25 mm more gingival display. Women tend to show slightly more dental display at rest, posed and spontaneous dentogingival display, as well as lip mobility, than men. CONCLUSIONS: The type of smile changes significantly when posed and spontaneous smiles are compared. Women generally show more gingiva and teeth in all the parameters evaluated than men. Dental treatments should be individually planned according to each patient's smile characteristics.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Introducción: la comunicación también es la habilidad para comprender la mente. Los educandos con trastorno del espectro de autismo presentan dificultades en la teoría de la mente, comprendida como la capacidad de percibir que las otras personas poseen un estado interno, pensamientos, creencias, deseos, intenciones, igual que el de uno mismo y a la vez diferente de él. Objetivo: proponer un cuaderno de comunicación para la estimulación de la teoría de la mente, que servirá de guía a especialistas médicos, defectólogos, pedagogos, estudiantes en formación y familia para el proceso de evaluación e intervención en los educandos con trastorno del espectro de autismo. Métodos: estudio de corte pedagógico donde se utilizaron métodos del nivel teórico, empírico y estadístico que permitieron recopilar, interpretar y procesar la información relacionada con la temática. Resultados: se constató la necesidad de contar con un cuaderno de comunicación para la estimulación de la teoría de la mente desde el proceso de diagnóstico, evaluación e intervención psicopedagógica de los educandos con trastornos del espectro de autismo. Conclusiones: el estudio se inserta en la concepción actual para enfrentar el proceso de diagnóstico, evaluación e intervención desde una concepción clínico-psicopedagógico, y que contribuye al desarrollo de la inclusión social de los educandos con trastornos del espectro de autismo.

ABSTRACT Introduction: communication is also the ability to understand the mind. Learners with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) present difficulties in the theory of mind, understood as the ability to perceive that other people have personal conditions, thoughts, beliefs, desires, intentions, just like us and at the same time different from them. Objective: to propose a communication exercise book for the stimulation of the theory of mind that will provide a guide to medical specialists, defectologists, and pedagogues, students in training and family for the process of assessment and intervention in ASD learners. Methods: pedagogical study where methods of theoretical, empirical and statistical level were applied to collect, interpret and process the information related to the area under discussion. Results: the need to have a communication exercise book for the stimulation of the theory of mind from the process of diagnosis, assessment and psycho-pedagogical intervention of ASD learners was verified. Conclusions: the study is included in the current conception to face the process of diagnosis, assessment and intervention from a clinical-psycho-pedagogical conception and that contributes to the development of the social inclusion of the ASD learners.

RESUMO

This analysis reviews the situation of child and adolescent mental health in Chile, organizational determinants, and the initiatives and interventions implemented to enhance child development despite the country's inequities. Progressive development of national mental health plans is covered, from the country's first plan in 2000, to growing the number of mental health professionals and the training they receive, such as MhGAP, to the implementation of "Chile Crece Contigo," whose preliminary evaluations are starting to show some effectiveness. However, the World Health Organization reports that progress in complying with the United Nations Convention of Children's Rights is insufficient. A set off legislative initiatives on behalf of children and adolescents have been passed, while others are being discussed in Parliament. There is much to be done in the nation as a whole and within its health system to ensure improved child and adolescent mental health and wellbeing. More research into child and adolescent mental health should be undertaken. Adequate funding and policymaking are also crucial to giving priority to child and adolescent mental health in Chile.

En este análisis se examina la situación de la salud mental de niños y adolescentes en Chile, los determinantes institucionales y las iniciativas e intervenciones ejecutadas para mejorar el desarrollo infantil a pesar de las inequidades del país. Se ha abarcado el desarrollo progresivo de los planes nacionales de salud mental, desde el primer plan nacional en el año 2000, pasando por el aumento del número de profesionales de salud mental y la capacitación que reciben, como el programa MhGAP, hasta la ejecución de "Chile Crece Contigo", cuyas evaluaciones preliminares están comenzando a mostrar cierta eficacia. Sin embargo, la Organización Mundial de la Salud informa que el progreso en el cumplimiento de la Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre los Derechos del Niño es insuficiente. Se ha aprobado un conjunto de iniciativas legislativas a favor de los niños y adolescentes, mientras que otras están tratándose en el parlamento. Es mucho lo que hay por hacer en el país en general y en su sistema de salud para garantizar el mejoramiento de la salud mental y el bienestar de niños y adolescentes. Es necesario aumentar la investigación sobre la salud mental de niños y adolescentes. La disponibilidad de fondos suficientes y la formulación de políticas son también cruciales para dar prioridad a la salud mental de niños y adolescentes en Chile.

RESUMO

RESUMEN Introducción: en el contexto internacional se ha declarado que aproximadamente el 10% de la población escolar presentan dislexia y por tanto constituyen uno de los grupos con discapacidad simple más representativos. Esta incidencia en el contexto nacional y en la provincia de Pinar del Río igualmente se ha constado, sin embargo se ha revelado que los maestros primarios presentan necesidades en la preparación teórica-metodológicas básicas para encausar su atención educativa desde el sistema de influencias profesionales que intenciona las ciencias del desarrollo. Objetivo: proponer una estrategia de superación para los maestros primarios en la atención educativa de los escolares con dislexia. Métodos: se desarrolló una investigación pedagógica utilizando métodos del nivel teórico, empírico y estadístico. Este estudio se realizó de forma intencional el cual incidió en la totalidad de los maestros primarios (45) del municipio de Consolación del Sur, provincia de Pinar del Río, que atienden escolares con dislexia. Ello permitió constatar las necesidades que estos presentan en la referida atención. Resultados: se concreta en una estrategia de superación para los maestros primarios en la atención educativa de los escolares con dislexia ajustada al modelo clínico y educativo que sustentan en Cuba, esta atención. Conclusiones: la elaboración de la estrategia de superación constituye una solución a las necesidades de actualización sistemática de los maestros primarios sobre los aspectos teóricos, metodológicos y actitudinales necesarios en la atención educativa de los escolares con dislexia.

ABSTRACT Introduction: in the international context it has been declared that approximately 10 % of the school population have dyslexia and therefore constitute one of the most representative groups with simple disabilities. This incidence in the national context and in the province of Pinar del Río has also been confirmed, however it has been revealed that primary-school teachers have basic theoretical-methodological preparation needs to direct their educational objectives supported on the system of the professional influences they have considering the development of sciences. Objective: to propose a strategy for the development of elementary school teachers in the educational training of dyslexic children in school. Methods: a pedagogical research was developed using theoretical, empirical and statistical methods. This study was carried out intentionally, including all the elementary-school teachers (45), who teach dyslexic children in Consolation del Sur municipality, Pinar del Río province. This allowed verifying the needs these children have. Results: it is specified in the strategy the improvement for the elementary school teachers in the educational training of dyslexic schoolchildren adjusted to the clinical and educational models carry out in Cuba. Conclusions: the design to improve this strategy constitutes a solution to the needs of a systematic updating of the elementary school teachers on the theoretical, methodological and attitudinal characteristics that are necessary to facilitate the educational training of dyslexic schoolchildren.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated different tooth shapes from female and male genders, matching them with the firstly proposed pure basic forms, and proposed different hybrid shapes; it also evaluated the percentage of correct gender identification of lay people, dentists and dental students. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Standardized digital photos were taken from 460 people and analyzed by 3 experts regarding genders and tooth forms: pure basic forms-oval (O), triangular (T), square (S) and rectangular (R); and combined hybrid forms-oval-rectangular (OR), triangular-rectangular (TR), triangular-oval (TO), square-oval with flat lateral incisors (SOF), and square-oval with scalloped lateral incisors (SOS). Then, correct gender identification (%) was evaluated among lay people, dentists and dental students (n = 10). RESULTS: Pure forms showed less prevalence in the population studied (O:6.52%; S:3.48%; T:3.26%; R:2.39%) than hybrid ones (TO:20.87%; SOS:20.65%; OR:19.57%; SOF:16.96%;TR: 6.30%). Tooth gender selection among different evaluators was not significantly different (≈50% correct answers). CONCLUSIONS: No correspondence exists between tooth shapes and patient genders. Pre-standardized pure tooth forms appeared less than hybrid ones, while the most frequently found in the population studied were TO, SOS, and OR forms, disregarding genders. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Esthetic perception is an increasingly important criterion critical to satisfy patients. The correlation of reported tooth shapes with specific genders was not reliably observed in natural smiles. Tooth shapes should be selected according to the wishes of the patient rather than by previously believed gender specific tooth shapes. Pure basic tooth forms should be complemented with the addition of combination forms to more accurately portray forms found in nature.
