González P. odupuy@med.ulatina.edu.pa Héctar De La Rosa odupuy@med.ulatina.edu.pa Melany Culiolo odupuy@med.ulatina.edu.pa <p>The COVID-19 pandemic directly and indirectly impacts all activities of society. The objective of this study is to carry out an analysis of bibliometric maps of the influence of SARS-CoV-2 variants on scientific productivity in the biomedical field. Methodology: A search of the documents published on the SARS-CoV-2 variants was carried out in the MEDLINE/PubMed database from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2022. The visualizations of the bibliometric network maps were performed with the VOSviewer program. The occurrence, number of links, total link strength and clusters generated by the program were reviewed. The results show that the number of documents found on the omicron and delta variants is 1339 and 1741, respectively. The publications on the omicron variant present 156 occurrences, 81 links, and a total link strength of 456. Delta variant articles excel in their conglomerate with 258 occurrences, 124 links, and a total link strength of 881. In 51 articles the alpha variant is highlighted, which constitute 35 links and a total link strength of 175. Nineteen author names appeared in 15 or more documents related to SARS-CoV-2 variants and 13 organization names appeared in 6 or more such documents. In conclusion, the analysis of bibliometric network maps reflects the influence of SARS-CoV-2 variants on scientific productivity in the biomedical field and can contribute to the description of the evolution of public health problems such as the COVID-19 pandemic.</p> 2023-01-30T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Omar A.

The inclusion criteria are the sources of Google Scholar, Range of documentation from 2020 to the present, Scientific journals and Studies and works published in English and Spanish; in exclusion criteria, suspicious sources are empirical blogs, studies published in a language other than Spanish and English, Wikipedia and Studies not validated by scientific publishers. This research is of a comparative type, in order to give a better enhancement to the contributions found. It consists of a sample of three authors Paul Watzlawick, Harold Lasswell and Carl Hovland. Paul Watzlawick, work with nonverbal communication; Harold Lasswell, work with mass communication and media influence; and Carl Hovland, studied mass communication and communicative stimulation. In the comparative study, common factors were found in the theories of the 3 authors, with a result of 78% being the similarities between the three authors, and 22% representing the discrepancies found. It is proven that there is a relationship between psychology and the influence on the psyche of the person, human since it depends so much on a sender, receiver, channel, who says? What does it say? Who do you say? How do you say it? And to what effect? and on the psychological side it will depend on how the person perceives a person's language and language.</p> 2023-06-15T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 Diana Núñez, Alejandro Mansfield, María Meza http://8.243.234.173/index.php/conductacientifica/article/view/278 REASONING AND MENTAL PROCESSES INVOLVED IN THE AREA OF PSYCHO-PEDAGOGY 2023-06-16T15:58:54+00:00 David Pilisi pilisid@gmail.com Gabriela Fernández fernandezgr90@gmail.com Jolie Hidalgo joliepaola@hotmail.com Lesly Cedeño Lesly-2001@hotmail.com María Ramos mariiaelena.1993@gmail.com <p>The Association for Play Therapy has defined it as "the systematic use of a theoretical model to establish an interpersonal process in which trained psychotherapists use the therapeutic powers of play to help subjects prevent or resolve psychosocial difficulties and achieve optimal growth and development." This indicates that play therapy is a therapeutic modality firmly based on theoretical models, play therapy also indicates that psychotherapists strive to recognize and utilize the powers of play, also known as change mechanisms, which are the active forces within play that help patients overcome their psychosocial and behavioral difficulties to achieve positive development. From the above considerations, we can understand play as a process and a space for creativity, therefore, potential and learning, is a key factor when it comes to involving it in psycho-pedagogical therapy. It is necessary to understand how the spaces of play and transition are established, to understand how the psychic constitution and, consequently, the development of imagination takes place. The process of authorship is intimately linked to the learning process, just as learning is related to the capacity to play, to take the object and transform it, to create it, constructing new meanings, new possibilities, and new learning.&nbsp; Although not all results have supported the use of play therapy as a viable intervention, the authors focus mainly on significant findings regarding the effectiveness of play therapy as a methodology for the modification, reformation and integral development of children and adolescents. Initially, a compilation of data was made, extracted from psychology books, psychopedagogy, scientific journals, scientific articles, press, theses, and degree projects, among others, which have resulted in valuable background for the development of this work. In the elaboration of the theoretical framework, the main topics were developed, such as the definitions of play therapy, psychopedagogy, reasoning and learning.</p> 2023-06-16T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2023 David Pilisi, Gabriela Fernández, Jolie Hidalgo, Lesly Cedeño, María Ramos
