Esta investigación examina la relación entre el tiempo de uso de Internet y el rendimiento académico cuantitativo y cualitativo de 127 estudiantes de nivel universitario, confrontado con la información aportada por 15 docentes del mismo nivel; toda la población estudiada emplea Internet, y emplearlo como herramienta de estudio contribuye positivamente al rendimiento académico, puesto que el estudiante debe seleccionar, analizar y comprender la información encontrada, lo que se corrobora al aplicar el coeficiente de Pearson y obtener un valor de 0.80. Sin embargo, los deberes desarrollados por los estudiantes con información obtenida de Internet presentan una realidad diferente: el 66.67% de los trabajos se califican entre bueno y regular, lo que evidencia la falta de aporte a la calidad de los mismos: en su mayoría los docentes comentan que son copias textuales de los documentos consultados o contienen información errada, haciéndose necesario el aporte adicional con un enfoque innovador a los procesos de consulta, que lleven al análisis crítico y constructivo para que  estas tareas sean procesos productivos de desarrollo de conocimiento.AbstractThis research examines the relationship between Internet usage time and the quantitative and qualitative achievement of 127 students at the university level, confronted with the information provided by 15 teachers at the same level; entire study population uses the Internet. It`s use as a study tool contributes positively to academic performance, since the student must select, analyze and understand the information found, which is corroborated by applying the Pearson Coefficient and get a value of 0.80. However, the duties developed by students with information obtained from the Internet presents a different reality: 66.67% of jobs are rated between good and fair, which shows the lack of contribution to the quality of them: mostly the teachers report that are verbatim copies of documents consulted or contain inaccurate information, making necessary the additional contribution with an innovative consultation processes, leading to critical and constructive analysis for these tasks are productive processes of knowledge development approach.

Background With increasing popularity of marijuana, consumers are likely turning to the internet for information regarding medical marijuana. Accuracy of medical marijuana claims is a significant concern because consumers change their medication management based on information from a single website. Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and quality of medical marijuana claims on popular websites. Methods : Commonly used websites containing claims regarding medical marijuana were selected by utilizing three online marketing tools that rank websites based on number of views, number of visitors, and visitor engagement. Once the top ten most popular websites were selected, medical claims regarding marijuana were reviewed for accuracy and quality using evidence-based tools. Results Seventy-six percent of claims made by websites were inaccurate and were based on low-quality evidence. Of the medical marijuana claims reviewed, 10% of websites made appropriate cause and effect conclusions. Furthermore, approximately 3% of the medical marijuana claims were written by a healthcare professional. Conclusion The findings show there is misleading and inaccurate information readily available to consumers online.

Recent efforts have been made to develop hot-air-dried chips as a value-added product for persimmon fruit (Diospyros kaki). However, the long-term quality of this product and its dependence on processing conditions and packaging type have not yet been explored. Hence, in this work, chips were prepared from “Hachiya” persimmon fruit in 2 ways: 2 mm thickness fruit slices, hot-air-dried for 5 hours (Preparation 2–5), and 6 mm slices, dried for 10 hours (Preparation 6–10). The dried chips were then packaged into 2 bag types (plastic zip-top and metallized polyethylene terephthalate (Met-PET) with desiccant packets), stored under ambient conditions, and sampled for moisture-related, microbial, texture, and chemical quality traits throughout the 1-year storage study. It was found that–with the exception of a marked decrease in ascorbic acid (vitamin C)—all 4 Preparation/Packaging combinations yielded products that maintained acceptable color, microbial, nutritional, and textural quality throughout the entire study. Compared to Preparation 2–5 chips, Preparation 6–10 chips generally had lower contents of healthy nutrients—antioxidant compounds, ascorbic acid, and carotenoids. Evidence of invertase activity was found for Preparation 6–10 chips but not for Preparation 2–5 chips. For both preparations, the contents of ascorbic acid and carotenoids experienced time-dependent decreases. Plastic zip-top bags and Met-PET bags with desiccant packets performed equally well as packaging for most of the quality metrics tracked during this study. Overall, this work has demonstrated that hot-air-drying of persimmon slices is a promising approach to create a value-added product with at least one year of shelf-life.

The study sample was 83 people based on accidental sampling, using Performance-Importance Analysis. The results of this study found that high religious students who received administrative and academic services were in the very satisfied category with a value of 98.3%. However, there is a service that must be a concern of the university, namely the ability of the university to respond or act quickly in solving problems faced by students. In addition, the quality of service that is prioritized is not very important for students, so the implementation seems ordinary because students are quite satisfied with the service. Services included in this category are representative service rooms, complete learning, attractive-looking staff, fast and appropriate services, and complicated procedures.
