Right to health intertwines with right to the city: guaranteed access to healthy urban spaces reduces inequities among the population, so that disadvantaged groups can also enjoy positive urbanization effects. In this sense, interconnection between right to the city and right to health promotes equity. This article seeks to explore the interconnection between right to the city and right to health on the basis of an integrative review guided by the question 'What knowledge about right to the city and right to health has been produced in the light of equity?' For this purpose, we analyzed evidence available in the literature indexed in PubMed/Medline, Lilacs, and SciELO between 1986 and 2016. Over this three-decade span, we identified the presence of different degrees of right to the city and right to health in the formulation of policies and in social movement agendas. Formulations regarding population growth moved away from the rights agenda, but in a later phase of democratic consolidation, the fight for rights to health re-emerged. In a third moment of the political visibility of excluded geographical spaces and multiple identity agendas, the struggle to ensure everyone's right to the city came on strong in the game.

The aerobiology can play a key role in protecting the rice crop since many fungi can cause serious damage to agricultural areas. In this way, the ideal time to implement different security measures can be identified. To determine the presence of potentially pathogenic fungi in the air of the rice agroecosystem, a weekly monitoring of viable fungi was carried out using a volumetric sampler. Collected fungi were quantified, isolated, and identified based on their morphological characteristics. The results obtained demonstrated that the annual average concentration of filamentous fungi in the atmosphere of rice agroecosystem studied was 1,225 cfu m -3 levels ranging between 115 cfu m -3 (April) and 2,865 cfu m -3 (August). Pyricularia grisea was detected in the air for 5 months, since the second week of June until the first week of October, and highest average concentration (25 cfu m -3 ) was observed in August. Of the meteorological factors evaluated, temperature and relative air humidity influence the concentration of propagules of P. grisea in the air. Besides, other fungi were detected such as Curvularia, Bipolaris, Alternaria, and Cercospora, all with relevance to rice cultivation. This is the first characterization of aeromycological biodiversity in the studied region.
La gestión de la calidad es una necesidad y oportunidad en las Instituciones de Educación Superior para responder con eficiencia y eficacia a las demandas de la sociedad; por ello los procesos universitarios deben actualizar sus mecanismos de gestión. El presente trabajo persigue como objetivo, desarrollar un sistema de gestión de la calidad del proceso de extensión universitaria en la Universidad de La Habana, para lo cual se empleó una investigación mixta concurrente. Se obtuvo un sistema de gestión de la calidad del proceso extensionista en la Universidad de La Habana, el cual consta de siete etapas (Fundamentación, Diseño estratégico, Diseño de procesos, Diseño evaluativo, Diseño integrado, Implementación y evaluación), que es contextualizado, flexible, democrático, entendible y operativo. Los usuarios manifestaron satisfacción y reconocimiento de la efectividad y utilidad de la propuesta una vez implementada.
El inicio del 2022 fue la concreción del llamado escenario pospandemia. El impacto de la rápida propagación del virus SARS-CoV-2, la alta tasa de mortalidad, la necesidad de acudir al teletrabajo y la educación totalmente en línea matizaron el accionar de las Instituciones de Educación Superior(IES)a nivel internacional, generándose nuevos desafíos para todos los países; entre ellos, la necesidad de readecuar los marcos de acción y las estrategias glocanales para el logro de la Agenda 2030 y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible.
Resumen La internacionalización de la educación en general es un medio apropiado para ampliar el conocimiento, las habilidades y las actitudes globales que deben poseer los estudiantes antes de ingresar al ambiente laboral, pero debe ser transversal a todo el proceso de formación asociado. Favorece el desarrollo sociocultural y el entendimiento mutuo, estimulando el surgimiento de alianzas estratégicas, de ahí la necesidad de internacionalizar a las IES. Como proceso estratégico de las universidades, es un medio para lograr estándares académicos de calidad, el cual necesita una mirada desde la gestión de la calidad, que permita evaluar o diagnosticar, si se cumplen con las exigencias y necesidades actuales en el desarrollo de esta actividad dentro y fuera de nuestros centros. El objetivo del presente trabajo es caracterizar el proceso de internacionalización de la Universidad de La Habana desde un enfoque de gestión de la calidad. Para ello se desarrollo una investigación de tipo mixto donde se emplearon métodos empíricos como la observación participante y el análisis documental y métodos teóricos como el análisis-síntesis, el inductivo-deductivo, el histórico lógico. Los fundamentos teóricos – metodológicos analizados en la investigación permiten asumir a la internacionalización como un proceso universitario que atraviesa transversalmente el resto de los procesos (estratégicos, sustantivos y de apoyo), que requiere la participación de toda la comunidad universitaria, y en el que, las intenciones y voluntad institucional de introducir nuevos métodos de formación, desarrollo científico e integrar a sus integrantes en contextos multiculturales e internacionales, expresan un camino que implica transformaciones. Abstrac The internationalization of education in general is an appropriate means to expand the global knowledge, skills and attitudes that students must possess before entering the work environment, but it must be transversal to the entire associated training process. It favors sociocultural development and mutual understanding, stimulating the emergence of strategic alliances, hence the need to internationalize HEIs. As a strategic process of universities, it is a means to achieve academic quality standards, which needs a view from quality management, which allows evaluating or diagnosing, if current demands and needs are met in the development of this activity inside and outside our centers. The objective of this work is to characterize the internationalization process of the University of Havana from a quality management approach. For this, a mixed type investigation was developed where empirical methods such as participant observation and documentary analysis and theoretical methods such as analysis-synthesis, inductive-deductive, logical historical were used. The theoretical-methodological foundations analyzed in the research allow us to assume internationalization as a university process that crosses the rest of the processes (strategic, substantive and support), which requires the participation of the entire university community, and in which, the intentions and institutional will to introduce new methods of training, scientific development and integrate its members in multicultural and international contexts, express a path that implies transformations.
