Ecuadorian and Canadian Student Perception of a Neuroscience Course-Based Virtual Exchange Project
Although study abroad programs have been shown to increase intercultural awareness, these programs are not accessible to many students due to factors such as finance and fear of culture shock. According to various reports, Canada and especially countries in Latin America have among the lowest proportion of student participation in these programs in the world. Given these barriers, we conducted a 12-week virtual exchange in two neuroscience-relate…
People in Ecuador and the United States conceptualize compassion differently
Even people from frequently studied cultural contexts differ in how they conceptualize compassion, partly because of differences in how much they want to avoid feeling negative. To broaden this past work, we include participants from an understudied cultural context and start to examine the process through which culture shapes compassion. Based on ethnographic and empirical studies that include Ecuadorians, we predicted that Ecuadorians would wan…
Multicomponent Intervention Associated with Improved Emotional and Cognitive Outcomes of Marginalized Unemployed Youth of Latin America
Mass migration and people seeking political refuge are critical social issues facing Latin America. Ecuador has the largest population of recognized refugees in the region. Youths from a migration background have an increased risk of becoming NEET (Young people not in employment, education, or training). Such youths struggle more with mental health problems than non-NEET peers. Being a refugee, NEET further increases the risk of having mental hea…
An fMRI Study Using a Combined Task of Interval Discrimination and Oddball Could Reveal Common Brain Circuits of Cognitive Change
Recent functional neuroimaging studies suggest that the brain networks responsible for time processing are involved during other cognitive processes, leading to a hypothesis that time-related processing is needed to perform a range of tasks across various cognitive functions. To examine this hypothesis, we analyze whether, in healthy subjects, the brain structures activated or deactivated during performance of timing and oddball-detection type ta…
Different Responses to Stress, Health Practices, and Self-Care during Covid-19 Lockdown
The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to analyze the differential impact of the first COVID-19 lockdown (3 April 2020) on stress, health practices, and self-care activities across different Hispanic countries, age range, and gender groups. One thousand and eighty-two participants from Spain, Chile, Colombia, and Ecuador took part in this study. Irrespective of the country, and controlling for income level, young people, especially fema…
El desarrollo local del cantón Manta y sus conexiones con el plan nacional para el buen vivir en Ecuador
Uno de los retos que actualmente enfrenta la humanidad al inicio del tercer milenio, son los cambios que deben operar los territorios en función de sus estrategias de desarrollo local, en el contexto de la globalización y el surgimiento de nuevas demandas vinculadas con el bienestar social y el cuidado del medio ambiente. En este propósito, constituye objetivo del presente artículo valorar los aspectos del desarrollo local del Cantón Manta en cor…
