El presente trabajo pretende dar a conocer los principios TRUST que dan directrices para considerar confiables a los repositorios de datos. Estos principios abarcan la Transparencia, la Responsabilidad, el Foco en el Usuario, la Sostenibilidad y la Tecnología, y presentan un marco común para guiar a los gestores de repositorios de datos en la implementación de las mejores prácticas en cuanto a preservación digital. Para lograr el objetivo propuesto se dan definiciones para el área, conceptos vinculados a la calidad, normativa vigente para auditoría y certificación y finalmente, se explican y ejemplifican los modos de cumplir con los mencionados principios que aseguran que los datos almacenados son FAIR es decir que son datos encontrables, accesibles, interoperables y reusables por cualquier comunidad de modo de avanzar hacia una ciencia abierta, participativa y socialmente comprometida. This work presents TRUST principles, which provide guidelines for trustworthy data repositories. These principles, namely, Transparency, Responsibility, User Community and Sustainability, and Technology (TRUST), set a shared framework to guide repository managers in implementing the best practices for Digital Preservation. In order to achieve this goal, domain definitions are provided, along with concepts related to quality, current regulations for auditing and certification. Finally, this work also explains –with illustrative examples– how to comply with the aforementioned principles and thus ensure the data stored in the repositories are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR) by any community to move towards an open, participatory and socially responsible science.

When the 2020 school year began, teachers had already approved educational planning designed around the face- to-face classroom, however, we could say that the Covid hacked the system and put us all, regardless of the educational level at which we teach, in a situation of virtuality and in many cases of vulnerability. This paper presents the pedagogical strategies and the curricular design of an undergraduate course on "Databases 1", from the “Facultad de Informática” of the UNLP implemented during this context. For this, topics such as the use of Platforms in Education, Inverted Virtual Classroom, Collaborative Learning and Game-Based Learning are addressed. During the course, surveys and opinion poll were carried out with the students, with the aim of assessing their needs, perceptions regarding the proposals that were presented and suggestions to propose improvements that would promote meaningful learning and the appropriation of knowledge by the students. themselves. Based on the information gathered, it is expected to open a space for debate with other teachers about how these new practices, adopted during the absence of the face-to-face- classroom, can be added to future planning beyond the physical return to classrooms to discuss about the "new normality" almost on Higher Education. Cuando inició el ciclo lectivo 2020 los docentes teníamos aprobadas nuestras planificaciones diseñadas en torno al aula presencial, sin embargo, podríamos decir que, el Covid hackeo el sistema y nos puso a todos, independientemente del nivel educativo en el que enseñáramos, en una situación de virtualidad y en muchos casos de vulnerabilidad. En este trabajo se presentan las estrategias pedagógicas y el diseño curricular de la materia de grado “Bases de Datos 1”, de la Facultad de Informática de la UNLP, implementados durante esta coyuntura. Para ello, se abordan temáticas como uso de Plataformas, Aula Virtual Invertida, Aprendizaje Colaborativo y Aprendizaje Basado en Juegos. Durante el curso se desarrollaron encuestas y sondeos con los cursantes, con el objetivo de relevar sus necesidades, percepciones respecto a las propuestas y sugerencias para implementar mejoras que propiciaran su Aprendizaje Significativo y la apropiación de los conocimientos. En base a la información relevada, se espera abrir un espacio de debate con otros docentes, acerca de cómo estas nuevas prácticas adoptadas durante la no presencialidad, pueden sumarse a la planificación a futuro más allá del regreso físico a las aulas y para discutir acerca de la “nueva normalidad”, al menos en la Educación Superior.

La pandemia COVID-19 ha provocado cambios profundos en toda la sociedad. A partir de las medidas de aislamiento adoptadas, todo el sistema educativo basado fundamentalmente en la modalidad presencial, se ha visto obligado a sostener el proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de forma virtual. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los profesores no estaban preparados para este cambio tan brusco. Muchos tuvieron que adquirir conocimientos sobre el uso de tecnologías y enfoques pedagógicos para llevar adelante sus actividades, aumentando aún más su carga laboral. En este contexto, se han sumado además, otras tareas vinculadas a la atención del hogar y al cuidado de familiares a cargo. En este contexto, este artículo muestra los resultados de una investigación realizada con profesores universitarios argentinos, cuyo objetivo fue comprender los factores de estrés relacionados con los cambios abruptos llevados a cabo en sus prácticas docentes como resultado de la pandemia. Los resultados obtenidos muestran un aumento significativo en la percepción de estrés en pandemia, una alta tasa de dificultades en el uso de herramientas tecnológicas para pasar de clases presenciales a virtuales, a pesar que la mayoría de las personas encuestadas poseen conocimientos informáticos. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused profound changes throughout society. Because of the isolation measures adopted, the entire educational system based mainly on the face-to-face modality, has been forced to continue the teaching and learning process virtually. However, most of the teachers were not prepared for this abrupt change. Many had to acquire knowledge about the use of technologies and pedagogical approaches to carry out their activities, with a further increase of their workload. In this pandemic situation, other tasks related to home care and care of dependents have also been added. In this context, this article shows the results of an investigation carried out with Argentine university professors, whose objective was to understand the stress factors related to the abrupt changes in their teaching practices as a result of the pandemic's conditions. The results we obtained show a significant increase in the perception of stress in the work conditions under pandemic and a high rate of difficulties in the use of technological tools and methodologies, to go from face-to-face to virtual classes, despite the fact that most of the people surveyed have computer skills.

This study surveys the state of the art in usability and user experience strategies applied to applications that deal with large amounts of data in the field of Cultural Heritage, highlighting the most prominent aspects and underlining the under-explored. In these applications, large amounts of data need to be wisely presented to help final users at drawing conclusions and making decisions. While sophisticated technology may be used to improve the user experience, it should not be applied to the detriment of usability, which is critical for the success of these applications. We performed a systematic mapping study to classify the literature retrieved in the four largest scientific databases by a structured search string. We classify applications according to purpose, intended users, the way they address and evaluate UX and usability, among others, and include the analysis of combined results through maps.Findings reveal the contradiction that while most articles are intended for the education and tourism of the general public, only half of the studies evaluate usability. Moreover, there is a significant research gap in user interfaces for systems in the context of preventive conservation, for research, assessment and decision assistance.This is the first systematic mapping study combining usability and Cultural Heritage, especially for data-oriented applications. It shows that more research is necessary to assist conservators and researchers, and to address usability from early stages of development.

Introduction: Mental health treatment has varied in the last century; however, the impact of these new therapeutical options is little-known. Objectives: To evaluate the impact of treatments for mental health diseases along the last decades. Methodology: retrospective, descriptive case-report study. Medical records of patients admitted to a Mental Health Institution in Buenos Aires, Argentina were evaluated over 7 decades. Variables analyzed were: age, sex, diagnosis, time of hospital stay, number of re-hospitalizations, drugs available per decade, cost of drug, cost of hospitalizations. Results: Hospitalization average lenght of stay was 6.33 months, with 3.18 readmissions per patient. In the 21st century it was detected a reduction in the length of hospitalization (4.66 months) and an increase in the number of hospitalizations (4.3 hospitalizations/patient). The number of drugs prescribed was 5.14 per patient (1.6 in the 1950s and 7.22 in the last decade). During 1950s, the most prescribed drugs were lithium and chlorpromazine, in the ’60s haloperidol; in the ‘70s benzodiazepines, haloperidol, and amitriptyline; in the ‘80s and ‘90s fluoxetine, sertraline, and BZD; from the 2000s paroxetine, risperidone, and pregabalin were added to the earlier drugs; and in the current decade new antipsychotics (olanzapine, ziprasidone, quetiapine or lurasidone), antiepileptics (lamotrigine) were included. Although diagnoses were maintained over time (schizophrenia, psychosis, bipolar disorder, dementia, depression) in the last decade, 27.7% of the hospitalized patients had dual pathology (addiction+other mental illness). Cost of drugs prescribed increased >9 times, while the cost of hospitalization increased >4 times in the last decade compared to the second half of the 20th century. Conclusion: Although new drugs to treat severe mental disorders reduced side effects associate to treatment, its efficacy did not improve neither the duration of the hospital stay nor in the number of re-hospitalizations along the past 70 years; while cost of new drugs increased 9 times.

La Cruz Roja, organismo internacional originalmente organizado en Europa, provocó la formación de sociedades nacionales en distintos países latinoamericanos bajo los principios humanitarios y neutrales relacionados con el tratamiento de prisioneros en épocas de conflictos bélicos. Luego de la Primera Guerra Mundial y bajo la influencia estadounidense, se impulsaron la Liga de las Sociedades de la Cruz Roja para el diseño y aplicación de acciones sanitarias y sociales en tiempos de paz. A partir de ese impulso, en la década de 1920 y 1930, se realizaron congresos panamericanos en Buenos Aires, Washington y Río de Janeiro que dispusieron una agenda coincidente con los principios de esta organización internacional que, a su vez, permitieron unificar las élites, los organismos estatales y privados de diferentes ámbitos en pos de la intervención sobre diferentes sectores sociales. The Red Cross, an international organization originally founded in Europe, promoted in different Latin American countries the formation of national societies under the humanitarian and neutral principles in relation to the treatment of prisoners in times of armed conflicts. After the First World War and under the influence of the United States, the League of the Red Cross Societies was fostered to design and apply sanitary and social actions in times of peace. Based on that boost, different Pan-American Congresses were held in the twenties and thirties in Buenos Aires, Washington and Rio de Janeiro, which had an agenda that coincided with the principles of this international organization and, at the same time, allowed the elites and the state and private organisms of different fields to unify in pursuit of intervening in different social sectors.

En este trabajo analizamos múltiples experiencias en el funcionamiento del primer open-door creado en la provincia de Córdoba, en 1914: el “Asilo Colonia Regional Mixto de Alienados Oliva”. Abordamos un conjunto de historias clínicas y publicaciones especializadas del boletín institucional, profundizando en procesos teóricos y terapéuticos articulados durante la primera década de internación de una paciente que vivió en Oliva la mayor parte de su vida adulta. Este estudio de caso, cuestiona la tradicional relevancia otorgada a este manicomio como espacio de reclusión y control social. Mostramos que, en un contexto de constante crisis de los recursos institucionales y de trasformación de los modelos psiquiátricos, la configuración del “saber ver” y el “saber hacer” de estos alienistas no constituyeron una autoridad monolítica, dando cuenta de cómo los comportamientos de los pacientes y sus allegados, los valores y usos sociales definían tipos de ingresos, diagnósticos y posibilidades de tratamiento. This paper analyze multiple experiences about the functioning of the first Open-Door in Argentina’s inside, the “Asilo Colonia Regional Mixto de Alienados Oliva”, created in the province of Cordoba in 1914. We approach a set of clinical histories and specialized publications of the institutional bulletin, deepening in theoretical and therapeutic processes articulated during the first decade of hospitalization of a patient who lived in Oliva most of her adult life. This study case questions the relevance given to this madhouse as a space of reclusion and social control. We show that, in a context of crisis about institutional resources and transformation into psychiatric models, the configuration of know-what and know-how of these alienists did not constitute a monolithic authority, accounting for how the behaviors of patients and their relatives, values and social uses defined types of income, diagnoses and treatment possibilities.
