Innovación y emprendimiento social en el proceso de enseñanza: nuevas narrativas universitarias

Se presenta la utilización de narrativas apreciativas como estrategia para intervenir en la construcción del espíritu innovador que debe tener un estudiante universitario para participar como profesional en la sociedad. Esta capacidad está incluida en las competencias transversales de resolución de problemas y toma de decisiones de la mayoría de las disposiciones legales y planes de estudios universitarios. La investigación realizada en un grupo de estudiantes pone de relieve la necesidad percibida por parte de los estudiantes de esta competencia. La elaboración de nuevas narrativas permite conectar con la posibilidad de emprender proyectos que respondan a las necesidades actuales.

Accommodative changes produced in response to overnight orthokeratology

Background To evaluate short-term (3 months) and long-term (3 years) accommodative changes produced by overnight orthokeratology (OK). Methods A prospective, longitudinal study on young adult subjects with low to moderate myopia was carried out. A total of 93 patients took part in the study. Out of these, 72 were enrolled into the short-term follow-up: 21 were on a control group, 26 on a Paragon CRT contact lenses group, and 25 on a Seefree contact lenses group. The other 21 patients were old CRT wearers on long-term follow-up. Accommodative function was assessed by means of negative and positive relative accommodation (NRA / PRA), monocular accommodative amplitude (MAA), accommodative lag, and monocular accommodative facility (MAF). These values were compared among the three short-term groups at the follow-up visit. The long- and short-term follow-up data was compared among the CRT groups. Results Subjective accommodative results did not suffer any statistically significant changes in any of the accommodative tests for any of the short-term groups when compared to baseline. There were no statistically significant differences between the three short-term groups at the follow-up visit. When comparing the short- and long-term groups, only the NRA showed a significant difference (p = 0.0006) among all the accommodation tests. Conclusions OK does not induce changes in the ocular accommodative function for either short-term or long-term periods.
