Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients hospitalized for acute respiratory infection due to influenza virus. Methods & Materials: Retrospective, transversal and descriptive study. Were included patients older than 16 years with flu symptoms with nasopharyngeal swab positive for Influenza virus and hospitalization criteria. Period: May to August 2017 Results: In the period studied a total of 983 patients with respiratory symptoms were asisted with 312 made swabs, resulting in 155 positive Influenza corresponding to 94% of Type A Influenza. In this study 46 patients were analyzed who required hospitalization, with a range between 17 and 88 years. Regarding the risk factors: 13 had COPD, 8 had asthma and 6 were healthy. Only 22% (n: 10) were vaccinated. Of the prevalent symptoms, 89.5% (n: 41) presented cough, 84.8% (n: 39) dyspnea, 71.7% (n: 33) fever. In 70% of the patients the cause of hospitalization was associated pneumonia. They were tested positive for influenza type A 91%. In 91%, combined treatment with oseltamivir and antibiotics was performed. According to the PSI score, 35% were classified in class I and 39% class ≥ III, with regard to the CURB-65 score, 57% (n: 26) presented CURB 1 and 30% (n: 14) CURB 2. Only one patient died. The most prevalent influenza serotype was A. Most of those requiring hospitalization had some risk factor, were not vaccinated and had low predictive score scores for mortality. The main cause of hospitalization was associated pneumonia. Low mortality

El PDTS es la unidad de reconocimiento oficial de la actividad de desarrollo tecnológico con impacto social en Argentina. Un PDTS surge a partir de una demanda de un actor social que visualiza un problema a resolver y solicita la intervención de los investigadores para desarrollar una tecnología que le dé respuesta. El objeto del PDTS, la concurrencia de sus actores y sus relaciones constituyen un espacio de utilización y coproducción de conocimiento donde ese nuevo conocimiento va más allá del objeto de investigación, se hace general y extrapolable a otros objetos y problemáticas. Ese conocimiento coproducido es el que agrega valor e innovación a la solución, la caracteriza, la hace inédita en términos de originalidad local y le da una identidad local...
MATILDA Latin American Open Chair: An international cooperation initiative to increase women in engineering

However, women have less presence in STEM areas than in other disciplines, such as education, health, social sciences, and arts. Incorporating women into engineering is a long road, which requires first, unfailingly young women with a deep passion for these careers and a strong will to pursue their university careers and achieve a professional degree. It is precisely with this motivation that the Latin American Open Chair “Matilda and women in engineering” (CAL Matilda, for its acronym in Spanish) arises, a regional cooperation initiative for increasing women in engineering. CAL Matilda represents a joint effort of three founding governing institutions: the Federal Council of Deans of Engineering of Argentina - CONFEDI, the Colombian Association of Engineering Faculties - ACOFI and the Latin American and Caribbean Consortium of Engineering Institutions – LACCEI. Their objective is to create an academic space for debate, reflection, collective construction of knowledge, teaching, research and carrying out activities that stimulate and promote equal rights, opportunities, and spaces for women in the academic and professional fields, and for the promotion of engineering vocations in girls and young people in Latin America and the Caribbean.

In May 2019, the Network of National Accreditation Agencies of MERCOSUR approves the new regional standards for engineering, including Biomedical, Biological, Environmental and Computer Science / Systems Engineering. This required the redefinition of some criteria and the introduction of the concept of “families of degree programs” with common characteristics in the regional standard. This plenary exposes the background of the regional accreditation process, the process of adaptation of the current standards and the novelties and outstanding characteristics of the recently approved standard, which incorporates computer science/systems engineering to all the accredited degree programs at the regional level.

This represents a great challenge for Engineering degree courses. The curricularization of the activities carried out by students in research projects, technological development, extension or transfer as an Integrating Project or Supervised Professional Practice can strongly contribute to the development of the expected students’ competencies in the level of development reached and with the desired orientation while integrating the University’s substantive functions making an impact and fostering a sense of belonging to the community on graduated students. This paper describes the analysis of the conditions that should be met before the activity of these students in the mentioned projects could be curricularly recognized and meet the requirements of an Integrating Project or Supervised Professional Practice. Some defined competencies in the engineering profile and tools for its certification are presented as examples.

METHODS Two editions of the National Survey on the Incidence of Hospital Infections in Argentina were used, those of 2004 and 2005. Of the 68 hospitals, 53 reported data from adult intensive care units (in 2004, 26 units; in 2005, 27), for a total of 359 patients (in 2004, 158 patients; in 2005, 201). The survey was designed as a multicenter, observational, cross-sectional, and descriptive study. Data analysis was performed with several statistics programs, combining and standardizing variables and both time periods in order to include all the hospitals from the two surveys. RESULTS The prevalence of hospital infection among patients was 24%. Of the 127 illnesses, the most frequently occurring was pneumonia (43.3%), which in 85% of the cases was associated with use of a respirator. Primary bloodst...

These new paradigms and dynamic scenarios need institutions of higher education with management of innovation and change to educate better engineers as society demands. In recent years, CONFEDI has been working on situation diagnosis, analysis of indicators and relevant aspects of changes, agreements for paradigm shift from political and conceptual point of views, design of a formal framework of quality assurance (Red Book of 2nd. Generation Standards for Engineering Degrees), strengthening of institutional capabilities for the paradigm shift, among other aspects. This presentation reviews and relates all these aspects in order to define a scenario and a series of challenges that the Schools of Engineering of Argentina had to master to make the paradigm shift (inherently complex) and is an opportunity for innovation.
