El aumento de la esperanza de vida ha producido en las últimas décadas un importante crecimiento de la población adulta mayor, estimándose que en el año 2050 casi un tercio de la población mundial estará compuesta por personas mayores de 65 años. Se pretende revisar desde diferentes puntos de vista los múltiples factores que influyen en la autopercepción de salud de los adultos mayores. Se seleccionaron y revisaron artículos científicos publicados en las bases de datos LILACS, SCIELO, OVID, EBSCO, REDALYC, HINARI y SCIENCE DIRECT, sobre la autopercepcion de salud y envejecimiento. En la estrategia de búsqueda, se incluyeron las palabras clave “envejecimiento y salud”, “autopercepcion de salud”, “redes sociales y envejecimiento”, entre otros. El proceso de envejecimiento se plantea como un proceso dinámico, no sólo a nivel individual sino también a nivel histórico-social. Se trata de un proceso que determina grandes cambios en la sociedad y frente a los cuales es necesario intervenir, a través de una política integral que ampare los derechos del adulto mayor y promueva una actitud social positiva, así como una autoercepción activa, autónoma, responsable e independiente. ABSTRACTThe increase in life expectancy has occurred in recent decades a significant increase in the older population, it is estimated that in 2050 nearly one third of the global population will consist of people over 65 years. Intends to review the multiple factors that influences the self-perception of health of older adults from different starting points. Were selected and reviewed scientific articles published in LILACS, SCIELO, OVID, EBSCO, REDALYC, HINARI y SCIENCE DIRECT databases on the subject of self-perception of health and aging. The search strategy included keywords "aging and health", "self-perception of health", "social networks and aging", among others. The aging process is a dynamic process, not only individually but also in a historical-social sense, a process that determines large changes in society and against which it will be necessary to intervene through the creation of a comprehensive policy that covers the rights of older persons and promote positive social attitudes and active, autonomous, responsible and independent self-perceptions.

This work examines the effects of sex and culture on physical self-perceptions. The aim was to compare the perception of physical fitness of French and Tunisian men and women. 400 individuals ages 20 to 35 years assessed their own fitness, endurance, strength, flexibility, body composition, and health according to specific category scales by completing a questionnaire. In general, the Tunisian group rated themselves higher than the French group. It appears that perceived physical fitness was related mainly to perceived endurance for both groups. Some disparities were observed between the two nationalities. Analysis showed an interaction between sex and culture (French vs Tunisian). For French men and women and Tunisian men, perceived physical fitness was more associated with perceived endurance, whereas for Tunisian women, perceived physical fitness was more strongly associated with flexibility. These data show that self-perception of physical fitness is a dimension which varies between individuals from different cultures.

Resumo No mundo em que vivemos hoje, imerso de tecnologias, tudo se tornou muito rápido, tanto os avanços quanto os problemas. Dentre esses problemas, destacam-se os surgimentos de crimes virtuais na rede mundial de computadores. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar um projeto escolar que se tornou o objeto de uma dissertação e dar subsídios para professores, educadores, pais, parentes e amigos que desejam discutir esse assunto em espaços educativos formais e não formais. Sabemos que se trata de um assunto complexo, uma vez que há a necessidade de abordar conceitos de ciências jurídicas, de computação e agora de educação. Debater os crimes virtuais tornou-se uma necessidade urgente e provocativa. E um assunto que não podemos mais postergar a sua inserção nas escolas, mesmo sabendo dos desafios que representa discutir crimes contra a honra, a pedofilia, entre outros delitos nos meios digitais. O diálogo pode ser uma ferramenta para o trabalho preventivo e educativo sobre esse tema polêmico, principalmente quando temos como sujeitos crianças e adolescentes. Observamos, por meio das narrativas dos alunos, que as dinâmicas e atividades realizadas no projeto permitiram a efetivação dos objetivos previstos e que esses sujeitos apresentaram novas sugestões para abordagens educacionais sobre os crimes virtuais deixando-nos um aviso: o surgimento de novos pengos como a deep web. Palavras-chave: Educação. Crimes virtuais. Redes sociais digitais. Educational approaches to virtual crimes Abstract In the immersed world of technologies we live in today, everything is very fast, both advances and problems. One of these problems may be the emergence of virtual crimes on the world wide web. The purpose of this article is to analyze a school project that has become the subject of a dissertation, as well as to give subsidies to teachers, educators, parents, relatives, friends who wish to discuss this matter in formal and non-formal educational spaces. We know that this is a complex subject, since it is necessary to approach concepts of the legal sciences, computing and now education. Debating virtual crimes is an urgent and pro vocative necessity and we cannot delay the discussion of this matter in schools, even knowing the challenges of talking about crimes against honor, pedophilia, among other crimes in the dlgital media. Dialogue can be a tool for preventive and educational work on this controversial issue, especially when our subjects are children and adolescents.

Resumo: O conceito de Cartografia Viral ainda é pouco debatido e aprofundado por geógrafos(as). Todavia, na contemporaneidade, os mapas virais ganham cada vez mais espaço nas mídias sociais. Assim, esse tema se torna relevante aos estudos geográficos e abre inúmeras possibilidades de entendimento e de abordagem frente à viralização destes conteúdos nas redes sociais. Sendo assim, o objetivo desse artigo é realizar uma análise teórica da associação de Cartografia com os conteúdos virais e apresentar e discutir as postagens criadas pelas páginas do projeto “Cartografia Viral” nas plataformas de mídia social Facebook e Instagram. Quanto ao conteúdo produzido, verifica-se diferenças quanto às postagens com maior interação, considerando as duas plataformas e salienta-se que o Instagram é mais adequado para verificar quantitativamente a viralização de um mapa, por meio de suas métricas. O mapa da América Invertida, foi o único conteúdo que foi amplamente curtido, compartilhado e comentado, nas duas plataformas. Concluiu-se que o tema é de grande relevância para a atualidade e que precisa ser explorado pelos pesquisadores da Geografia e da Cartografia, visto que não foram encontradas pesquisas no Brasil que abordem o assunto.  Palavras-chave: Viralização. Mapas virais. Cartografia escolar. Facebook. Instagram.  WHAT DOES A MAP NEED TO HAVE TO GAIN LIKES, COMMENTS AND SHARES ON INSTAGRAM AND FACEBOOK FROM THE VIRAL CARTOGRAPHY PROJECT? Abstract: The concept of Viral Cartography is still little debated and deepened by geographers. However, in contemporary times, viral maps are gaining more and more space on social media. Thus, this theme becomes relevant to geographic studies and opens up numerous possibilities for understanding and approaching the viralization of these contents on social networks. Therefore, the objective of this article is to conduct a theoretical analysis of the association of Cartography with viral content and to present and discuss the posts created by the pages of the “Viral Cartography” project on the social media platform Facebook and Instagram. As for the content produced, there are differences regarding posts with greater interaction, considering the two platforms, and it should be noted that Instagram is more suitable for quantitatively checking the viralization of a map, through its metrics. The map of Inverted America was the only content that was widely liked, shared and commented, on both platforms. It was concluded that the theme is of great relevance for the present time and that it needs to be explored by the researchers of Geography and Cartography, since there were no studies found in Brazil that address the subject. Keywords: Viralization. Viral maps. Innovation. School cartography. Facebook. Instagram. ¿QUÉ NECESITA UN MAPA PARA TENER ME GUSTA, COMENTARIOS Y COMPARTIDOS EN INSTAGRAM Y FACEBOOK PARA EL PROYECTO DE CARTOGRAFÍA VIRAL? Resumen: El concepto de cartografía viral es poco debatido y estudiado por los geógrafos. Sin embargo, hoy en día, los mapas virales están ganando más espacio en las redes sociales. Así, este tema gana relevancia para los estudios geográficos y abre innumerables posibilidades para comprender y abordar la viralización de estos contenidos en las redes sociales. Por tanto, el objetivo de este artículo es realizar un análisis teórico de la asociación de la cartografía con el contenido viral y también presentar y discutir los posts creados por las páginas del proyecto “Cartografia Viral” en las plataformas de redes sociales Facebook e Instagram.

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.

RESUMEN En el artículo se ofrece una reflexión en torno a la educación y valores. Tras una referencia a los diferentes sentidos en que se puede plantear el problema en función de la forma como se puede entender la relación entre los dos sustantivos “educación” y “valores”, la reflexión se centra en algunos problemas relacionados con los valores en cuanto contenidos de la educación. Primeramente se refiere al problema del criterio en función del cual determinar los valores de la educación, concluyendo en que el criterio no podía ser ni de carácter a priori, ni empírico, sino “sintético”. A continuación, se afronta el problema del principio, de la fuente de los valores, o la concreción del criterio de los valores de la educación, entendiendo que éstos deberían ser determinados a partir del sujeto de la educación. Se concluye con la referencia a una exigencia de los valores de la educación, la configuración de una totalidad unitaria e interactiva. Palabras clave: educación, valores, fuente de valores, integración, cultura EDUCATION AND VALUES ABSTRACT The article offers a reflection on education and values. After a reference to the different senses in which one can pose the problem in terms of how you can understand the relationship between the two nouns “education” and “values”, reflection focuses on some problems related to the values in the contents of education. First, it concerns the problem of the criterion against which to determine the values of education, concluding that the criterion could be neither a priori in nature, not empirical, but “synthetic”. Herein, the problem of principle is faced, the source of values, or the realization of the criterion of the values of education, understanding that these should be determined from the subject of education. It concludes with the reference of a requirement of the values in education, setting up a unitary and interactive whole. Key Words: education, values , power values , integration, culture

Despite the strong intuition that people know themselves well, much research in self-perception demonstrates the biases present when evaluating one’s own personality traits. What specifically are these blind spots in self-perceptions? Are self-perceptions always disconnected from reality? And under what circumstances might other people actually be more accurate about the self? The self–other knowledge asymmetry (SOKA) model suggests that because individuals and others differ in their susceptibility to biases or motivations and in the information they have access to, self- and other-knowledge will vary by trait. The present chapter outlines when and why other-perceptions are sometimes more accurate than self-perceptions, as well as when self-reports can be most trusted. Also discussed are next steps in the study of self- and other-knowledge, including practical, methodological, and interdisciplinary considerations and extensions. In sum, this chapter illustrates the importance of taking multiple perspectives in order to accurately understand a person.

Without having a reaction time, the pandemic has caused an unprecedented transformation in universities around the world, leading to a revolution from structured models anchored in the conception of transmission of training towards a teaching approach-learning saved thanks to the incorporation of technology. This study aims to verify whether the pandemic situation has influenced the digital competence self-perception of students. Comparing two groups during the academic years 2019/2020 and 2020/2021, the instrument used is the questionnaire for digital competence “DigCompEdu Check-In” for future teachers. After the educational intervention, group A (before COVID-19) presented higher self-perceptions of competence than group B (during COVID-19); the pandemic situation caused by COVID-19 has negatively influenced students’ self-perception of their digital skills in the pretest in the different dimensions under study. Before receiving the training, the group that did not experience the pandemic enjoyed a higher self-perception of their competencies than the group that experienced the pandemic. The data obtained indicate that the difference exists, and that it is statistically significant, and may be a consequence of the clear relationship between self-perception and the way in which students face reality through their personal and subjective vision.

Introduction The growing global prevalence of obesity is recognized as an important risk for cardiovascular disease. Understanding self perception of weight as it pertains to health is critical to the success of weight reduction programs. The impact of ethnicity on this association has not been examined. Methods The sample included 927 Hispanic (H) and 72 Non-Hispanics white (NHW) adults who received free cardiovascular screening from Florida Heart Research Institute. Overweight and obesity were measured by Body Mass Index. Self-perceived health status was characterized as excellent, very good, good, fair or poor health. Logistic regression was used to determine independent risk factors for perceived fair-poor health, as well as for excellent, very good health. Odds ratios and 95% Confidence Intervals were calculated. Results Both H and NHW overweight/obese subjects tended to view their health as good, very good or excellent: H (overweight 81.1%/obese 73%) and NHW (89.3%/66.7%). Logistic regression revealed the following independent correlates of self-perceived very good or excellent health: NHW (OR 3.618, CI 2.126, 6.157, p<0.001) and exercise (OR 1.640;CI 1.186, 2.268; p=0.003). Hypertension (OR 0.392; CI 0.246, 0.625; p<0.001), overweight (OR 0.551, CI0.386, 0.785, p=0.001) and obesity (OR 0.431, CI 0.288, 0.644; p<0.001) were all negatively associated with very good/excellent status. Conclusions Although it is not surprising that participation in regular exercise is associated with a better self-perception of health status, or that hypertension and obesity is correlated with a worse self-assessed health status, there are two striking findings that emerge from this data: 1. The vast majority of both H and NHW subjects do not perceive either overweight or obesity to be a major health problem. 2. Hispanics have a significantly worse self-perception of health status even after controlling for associated factors.This information provides a critical foundation for overcoming fundamental barriers to effective patient education_a critical first step in addressing the current epidemic of obesity in ethnically diverse populations.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence of undernutrition in older adults aged >75 years living in communities and to identify the main factors independently associated with undernutrition. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted using a random sample of family physicians' medical records of 86 older adults aged >75 years living in the community studied. Their nutritional status was evaluated using the Mini Nutritional Assessment. RESULTS: A total of 10.5% of the elderly were undernourished and 41.9% were at undernutrition risk. According to the logistic regression multivariable model, the following characteristics: being widowed (OR=6.7; 95%CI=1.8-24.6); being institutionalized (OR=12.6; 95%CI=1.7-90.5); or having a negative self-perception of health (OR=15.0; 95%CI=3.3-69.1) were independently associated with a significant increase of undernutrition risk. CONCLUSION: The current study shows that undernutrition is highly prevalent in Portuguese older adults aged >75 years living in communities. The major factors independently associated with their undernutrition are being widowed and institutionalized and having negative self-perception of health. The results obtained show that undernutrition and its associated factors are very serious problems for older adults and a challenge in their health care.
