En el ámbito universitario para asegurar la calidad y el mejoramiento continuo de los programas educativos, es necesario someterse a un proceso de evaluación a través de un organismo acreditador. Dentro de este proceso, el primer paso necesario es la autoevaluación del programa educativo, el cual consiste en reunir información sustantiva que permita evidenciar el cumplimiento de los criterios que ha establecido el organismo acreditador. Las Tecnologías de la Información (TI) se han convertido en un componente fundamental de las universidades en todos sus ámbitos: docencia, investigación y administración. En el presente trabajo, se presenta el diseño y la implementación de un sistema de información que permite concentrar las evidencias de las diferentes categorías e indicadores del instrumento de evaluación utilizado por el Consejo Nacional de Acreditación en Informática y Computación (CONAIC). In the university context to ensure the quality and continuous improvement of educational programs, it is necessary to undergo an evaluation process through an accrediting body. Within this process, the first necessary step is the self-evaluation of the educational program, which consists of gathering substantive information that makes it possible to demonstrate compliance with the criteria established by the accrediting body. Information Technology (IT) has become a fundamental component of universities in all their fields: teaching, research and administration. In this paper, the design and implementation of an information system that allows to concentrate the evidences of the different categories and indicators of the evaluation instrument used by the National Accreditation Council in Computing and Computing (CONAIC) is presented.

Higher Education in Ecuador entered a stage of changes driven by the regulations that govern the system as of 2008, such situation has required universities and polytechnical schools to start continuous improvement processes based on periodic self-assessments taking as reference different models Of quality and in particular that issued by the Council of Evaluation, Accreditation and Quality Assurance, CEAACES and whose purpose is to accredit as well as their careers. The establishment of the evidence that justifies the quality indicator, as well as the weight given to each is the substantial part of the self-evaluation process that the institutions carry out and it is necessary to have a tool that minimizes subjectivity and generates Results that in principle can be good but that in the end do not reach for the external evaluation; For which it has been made a tour of different concepts, regulations and processes that are applied in Ecuador for the evaluation of careers based on a generic model establishing a procedure that has been used to determine the weights of the indicators and proposes some lines Of future work.

Los procesos de evaluación y acreditación de Programas Educativos lleva aproximadamente 20 años en México, se cuenta con una amplia gama de organismos acreditadores, que en conjunto han generado marcos de referencia, criterios, indicadores y estándares con el objetivo de contribuir a la mejora continua y aseguramiento de la calidad de las instituciones de educación superior. Por lo anterior, como evaluadores del Consejo Nacional de Acreditación en Informática y Computación A.C. (CONAIC) realizamos una investigación con la finalidad de establecer que criterios e indicadores que concentra el formato de autoevaluación muestran mayor tendencia de error y que durante la visita se constatan. Se presentan resultados obtenidos de procesos de Acreditación durante los años 2015 y 2016. Consideramos que obtener la acreditación, depende de la correcta interpretación que la Institución da a los criterios del formato de autoevaluación y lo que evidencia durante la visita en situ. The evaluation and accreditation processes of Educational Programs have been around for 20 years in Mexico. There is a wide range of accrediting agencies, which together have generated reference frameworks, criteria, indicators and standards with the objective of contributing to continuous improvement and Assurance of the quality of higher education institutions. Therefore, as evaluators of the National Council of Accreditation in Computer Science and Computation A.C. (CONAIC) carried out an investigation in order to establish which criteria and indicators that concentrate the format of selfevaluation show a greater tendency of error and that during the visit are verified. Results obtained from Accreditation processes are presented during the years 2015 and 2016. We believe that obtaining accreditation depends on the correct interpretation that the Institution gives to the criteria of the self-evaluation format and what evidence during the on-site visit.

While research on Irish-medium immersion education (IME) has heralded benefits such as cognitive skills, academic achievement and language and literacy development, many studies have also identified challenges to its successful implementation. Immersion-specific research-validated tools can help school leaders navigate the school self-evaluation journey, critically review and evaluate the quality of aspects of their school’s provision and plan for improvement. This paper reports on one theme, leadership, from a larger study, Quality indicators of best practice in Irish-medium immersion (Ó Ceallaigh and Ní Shéaghdha, 2017). Qualitative in nature, the study was guided by the following research question: What are IME educators’ perceptions of best practices in IME?. The study explored 120 IME educators’ perceptions of best practice in IME to inform the development of IME quality indicators. Individual interviews and focus group interviews were utilised to collect data. Data analysis revealed particular themes related to best IME leadership practices. Findings in turn informed the design of an evidence-informed school self-evaluation tool for IME settings. The various functions of the tool will be explored with a particular emphasis on building teaching and leadership capacity in IME through the school self-evaluation process.

In this prospective clinical study, the Q-Switched Nd:YAG 1064 nm/532 nm laser (Light Age, Inc., Somerset, NJ, USA) was used on 131 onychomycosis subjects (94 females, 37 males; ages 18 to 68 years). Mycotic cultures were taken and fungus types were detected. The laser protocol included two sessions with a one-month interval. Treatment duration was approximately 15 minutes per session and patients were observed over a 3-month time period. Laser fluencies of 14 J/cm2were applied at 9 billionths of a second pulse duration and at 5 Hz frequency. Follow-up was performed at 3 months with mycological cultures. Before and after digital photographs were taken. Adverse effects were recorded and all participants completed “self-evaluation questionnaires” rating their level of satisfaction. All subjects were well satisfied with the treatments, there were no noticeable side effects, and no significant differences were found treating men versus women. At the 3-month follow-up 95.42% of the patients were laboratory mycologically cured of fungal infection. This clinical study demonstrates that fungal nail infections can be effectively and safely treated with Q-Switched Nd:YAG 1064 nm/532 nm laser. It can also be combined with systemic oral antifungals providing more limited treatment time.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person services for individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities were disrupted globally, resulting in a transition to remote delivery of services and therapies. For individuals with neurogenetic conditions, reliance on nonclinical caregivers to facilitate all therapies and care was unprecedented. The study aimed to (1) describe caregivers’ reported impact on their dependent’s services, therapies, medical needs, and impact on themselves as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and (2) assess the relationship between the extent of disruption of services and the degree of self-reported caregiver burden. Two online questionnaires were completed by caregivers participating in Simons Searchlight in April and May 2020. Surveys were completed by caregivers of children or dependent adults with neurodevelopmental genetic conditions in Simons Searchlight. Caregivers reported that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic moderately or severely disrupted services, therapies, or medical supports. The majority of caregivers were responsible for providing some aspect of therapy. Caregivers reported “feeling stressed but able to deal with problems as they arise,” and reported lower anxiety at follow-up. Caregivers reported that telehealth services were not meeting the needs of those with complex medical needs. Future surveys will assess if and how medical systems, educational programs, therapists, and caregivers adapt to the challenges arising during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The omnipresent physical self remains for young adult females a significant measure of self-worth. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that coping strategies are as complex as they are pervasive as young women strive to maintain positive psychological outlooks despite negatively-perceived physical attributes. Self-presentational concerns may affect one’s activity choice.This study expands on the work of Taylor, Neter, and Wayment (1995) to determine which motives guide the self-evaluation processes of the physical self. An examination of structured interviews identifies which motives direct women in the self-evaluation of their bodies, and concurrently examines whether different motives determine individual response when appraising a “good” versus “not good” physical aspect. Motives, as defined by Taylor et al. (1995), were self-enhancement, self-verification, self-improvement and self-assessment. Interviews were conducted with 30 female, Southern California, undergraduate college students from Southern California, ranging in age from 19-22.A chi-square analysis revealed that women employed different motives in “good” versus “not good” body aspect comparisons (Enhancement: X2 = 21.78 p< .01; Verification: X2 = 10.05 p< .01; Improvement: X2 = 5.15 p< .05). When describing a “good” aspect, women employed the enhancement motive 92 percent of the time, verification 80 percent of the time, and improvement 15 percent of the time. For “not good” aspects, women used enhancement motive 53 percent of the time, verification 98 percent of the time, and improvement 33 percent of the time. Women used more than one motive 74 percent of the time and single motives only 26 percent of the time in the evaluation process. Direct quotes reveal that almost all the women sought out information about themselves when they thought it would reflect favorably. However, when they reported on a “not good” aspect, coping mechanisms included redirecting their attention to more positive characteristics or mentally cordoning off an area of weakness to prevent that attribute from permeating all aspects of their identity. Understanding how we think in the self-evaluation process may offer an explanation why some people are motivated to exercise and why others are not.
