Today is the last time to write in this blogger. In this time I talk about The use of technology within my area in midwifery.

When I was a little girl I dreamed with to be in Universidad de Chile, mi mather and my brother told me so many stories that happened them in there, respect to all that lived day by day for study for every subject, and they needed the technology to carry out this, and for this all I wanted is entering college for I can live the same, for I can use all of things that offer technology and learn of this experience. Now I'm in college ,I'm living all I ever dreamed and more, and I can see that technology is one of the most important things that help you lead a university life according to twenty one century .
The tecnology offer so many things , but all related to help people whether in your career or job.

One of things that offer technology, through computer is get information that you need for study, do a work for university .
Universidad de Chile, know that people have acces to technology, for that all information with respect to marks of exams or information with subjects, upload to internet in page of university, called "aula digital"

.
This is the most important in my university life, because all that I must to know is in internet, therefore technology is all in my university life .
Other thing that offer the technology is can discover new things, in my case I use very often microscope in Histology subject, to see our body tissues, this show me that this university has the best technology that ever dreamed, my teachers tell me that I must to take advantage all that offer me the technology that give me university .

Although, I dreamed with entering college for all technology that would gives me, when I came university I discovered the meaning of technology in the life of students, really is the key tool to render an optimal way in university, because give you all that you need, like information about essays, experiments, scientific studies and in all possible languages, giving information obtained in different parts of the world forming networks that serve you in your college life, but in my case the most important is that offer me the gives me the chance to see the vital signs of patients, discovering diseases and may well help people in the area of health, specifically women and newborns, because I study obstetrics, that is my passion.

Today ! I talk about my favorite movie would have to be "A Walk to Remember." It was about an outwardly plain Christian girl named Jamie, and Landon, an aimless, reckless guy who breezed through school on looks and popularity. I liked this movie for many reasons. The main character, Jamie was not afraid of letting people know that her faith was the most important part of her life. That was very impressive to me. This movie also showed that it is possible for people to change their ways. Most of all it was a love story and that is my favorite kind of movie.

Jamie was true to her beliefs even though it was not cool. She was as far from cool as she could possibly be, but she didn´t care. She was ridiculed all the time by other students

This was a love story, but a sad one. Jamie was sick with leukemia. She does everything she can to run away from romance until it becomes impossible for her to deny. She had a list of things that she wanted to come true before she died, and Landon made all her wishes come true. Even though Landon knew she was going to die, he wanted to marry her anyway and they married.

The movie shows that it is possible for people to change. One night Landon was involved in a prank that landed one kid in the hospital. As punishment Landon had to tutor a young student at school and participate in the Drama Club's Spring play, two activities the principal hopes.

It is a very nice movie J

Blog Brain

Hello!! I will talk about the human brain, but from a standpoint of evolution.

During human evolution, our forebrain became larger as our cerebral cortex increased in size. This means it had to become more folded to fit inside the skull. This gives the outside of the human brain its 'walnut' appearance. Humans have a larger cerebral cortex relative to the rest of the brain than any other animal. The cerebral cortex handles many of our unique skills, like language and problem solving."

When we compare our brain to those of other animals, the first thing that strikes us is its size. Human brains weigh on average 1,300 grams; a squirrel brain weighs six grams. Some of this difference is because, as larger animals, we need more brain to run our bodies. However, the brains of our nearest relatives, the great apes, weigh only 300-500 grams, even though their body size is similar to our.

Throughout mammalian and primate evolution, there has been a gradual increase in brain size, superimposed with spikes of fast growth such as the tripling in human brain size that occurred about 1.5 million years ago, 4 million years after the human lineage diverged from that of the great apes. 'Even in the ape lineage, the brain has been expanding but along the human lineage it has really taken off.

In addition, over time, different parts of our brain have increased in size at different rates. The cerebral cortex has expanded more than other areas, and within the cortex, some areas have expanded differentially while others have laged behind.

This subject is so much more than talk.

Hello everybody!!

Today I am going to speak about abortion but within a social context

As a young person you have the right to make decisions about issues that affect your own life. The reality is that unintended pregnancy is likely to affect all of us at some point in our lives, either directly or indirectly.

To make an informed choice about pregnancy – or to help others to make an informed choice – everyone needs an opportunity to think through the issues pregnancy raises, to distinguish the facts about abortion from the fiction, and to know where to go for non-judgmental help and advice.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions about abortion, but individuals also have the right to make decisions for themselves.

People anti-abortion argue that information about sex should come from parents. But are parents doing it? Do they know what to say? Or when to say it? But in the reality many parents feel uncomfortable discussing sex with children. When they do, important information is often omitted.

Sexuality education does not increase sexual activity; it increases knowledge and responsibility. The net result: fewer unwanted pregnancies and fewer abortions

For many young people today, sexual expression is often the only way to feel loved. Becoming pregnant, or causing pregnancy, is a tragic outcome of that quest for intimacy.

Young people with high levels of self-esteem are the least likely to compromise their futures by taking the risk of unintended pregnancy.

To help young people avoid this we must provide them meaningful alternatives: a better understanding of human sexual development, a better education, real career opportunities, job development, training, placement and hope for a better life.

Blog stress

Hello !!

Today I am going to speak about, "the stress"

Two main types of stress

Stress is your body's reaction to the demands of the world. Stressors are events or conditions in your surroundings that may trigger stress. Your body responds to stressors differently depending on whether the stressor is new — acute stress — or whether the stressor has been around for a longer time — chronic stress

The acute stress, also known as the fight-or-flight response, acute stress is your body's immediate reaction to a significant threat, challenge or scare. The acute-stress response is immediate and intense.

A single episode of acute stress generally doesn't cause problems for healthy people. However, severe acute stress can cause mental health problems, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, and even physical difficulties such as a heart attack.

The problem occurs when acute stressors pile up and stick around. This persistent stress can lead to health problems, such as headaches and insomnia. The chronic-stress response is much more subtle than is the acute-stress response, but the effects may be longer lasting and more problematic.

Effective stress management involves identifying and managing both acute and chronic stress.

Since everyone has a unique response to stress, there is no “one size fits all” solution to managing it. No single method works for everyone or in every situation, so experiment with different techniques and strategies. Focus on what makes you feel calm and in control

You can control your stress levels with relaxation techniques that evoke the body’s relaxation response, a state of restfulness that is the opposite of the stress response. Regularly practicing these techniques will build your physical and emotional resilience, heal your body, and boost your overall feelings of joy.

Today I want to speak about the emergency contraception.

The idea of emergency contraception —-or a morning-after pill—- is based on a theory. Under this theory, if a woman has unprotected sexual intercourse (without use of contraception, contraception failure or cases of rape) and fears she may become pregnant, she can take large doses of birth control pills to prevent a pregnancy.

Emergency contraception, essentially, is a high dosage of the birth control pill. It is recommended for use after sexual intercourse, over a period of 72 hours, to achieve the goal of preventing pregnancy.

The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes that emergency contraceptive (EC) s should be widely available and can be provided by pharmacists. In addition, WHO recognizes that EC is highly cost effective and that the cost of EC supplies and services will be more than covered by the savings to the health system in preventing unplanned pregnancy and abortions and their complications.

There are three different ways birth control pills are currently being promoted for this use: progesterone alone, estrogen alone, or both of these artificial steroids together. Again, these are the same steroids found in the typical birth control pill.

In my opinion emergency contraception is used to prevent pregnancy after a coital act not adequately protected by a regular method of contraception. In contrast to early medical abortion, emergency contraception prevents a pregnancy from starting and does not disrupt an established pregnancy.

However, if hormonal emergency contraception is inadvertently taken in early pregnancy, neither the woman nor the fetus will be harmed.

if exist a easier access to and a wider use of emergency contraception could dramatically lower the high rates of unintended pregnancy.

I'm studying in University of Chile. This is a very old building, so i think that important changes need to be done. About infrastructure, like i said before, it's a very old building and maybe it could be more modern, but laboratories and auditoriums are very good and they don't interfere with learning, wich at the end is the most important aspect to evaluate. My faculty has beautiful green areas, wich i think is very important because you can relax and forget for a while books, study, big tests, etc. It also has a special place where you can party with your friends and have a nice time.
Another aspect that i will improve in my faculty is COMPUTERS!!!!. For example, at this moment i'm writing, and i have to wait 5 or 10 minutes to open another page. Computers in library are very slow, this is very difficult because i think is a big obstacle to study. Many students don't have the money to buy a computer, so they need to study and do their homeworks with faculty's computers. The solution is to buy more computers.
I guess i will solve this situation talking with the person who is in charge of computers, because we pay a big amount of money, and it should be invest in things for students and not only for the university.
And last but no least,my faculty is full of street dogs, so i will give them a long bath because they smell bad, really bad.

hello everybody!

In this new phase of the course, I will talk about my favorite book. In this new phase of the course, I will talk about my favorite book. Is difficult to decide only one book that I like very much. I have a lot of books that I like, for example: “ I decided to live” , “Stories with soul”, “My orange lime plant”. If I have to choose one of these three books, the best is my orange lime plant. I read this book when I was in school. That was many years ago.

Is a book that I had the obligation to read when I was in High School. It is a book that tells about a boy of 7 years, which has a very aggressive family with him. His mother did not worry about it.

This kid knows a lot of people different from him. He learns from them, as they of him. This child will have to live strong experiences, such as child abuse, death of an adult who he met at the beginning of the story, and it was like his father image he had.

This plant was his friend, he told him everything. It was her friend unconditionally. It is a book that makes relfexionar on children's lives. About how children think at this age. As they see the adult world. This book would recommend it to teenagers to realize the vulnerability of children.

Is great book that we should read all

Today I'll write about my typical mistakes committed in these Blogs and my opinion about this activity.

For me it is difficult to realize the mistakes I made, because the level of English that we have is not high enough to write a text about a topic.

I think that to make a comment about any topic, and in another language, you must have a solid base to do it properly.

Otherwise it will made a lot of mistake in grammar, spelling and others.

I think the variety of topics that we have presented, have been a bit repetitive.

Such as what area of work I like to work, or where I am working on a future, or what area of my career I like.

But personally I like more, the activity where you could choose a topic on which to write.

I think that when you have the option to choose a theme, the ideas flow more easily, so it is much easier to write something in another language.

But if I do a little analysis, in compared of the others blogs of my classmates. I believe that, despite we don’t have a good level of English. we have been able to write good comments on the topics given.

Is difficult to think that since I like to work, because I still have three years to finish my career.

I have my ideals, that I would like to achieve when I start working. There are many ideas that I would like to perform, such as making a graduate PhD in Germany, a PhD of neonatology . I love this area, frankly I think is the most beautiful and where I can develop and give the better about me.

When I finish my PhD, and return to Chile, and the first thing that I would do , is work in the public area, because I think that here , in this place, or professional fields, is where they need a big number of professionals with a specialties.

At first I would like to hire me as a simple employee of the health field, where I will to get to know , who is the systematic of a hospital. I think it is fundamental, to know the area work where one is developed, for then be able to make modifications or have people in charge.

After I working in the public area, I would like to go to private area. but I will see over time and the amount of job opportunities that I come up.

To day, I will write about education.

The education in Chile is a subject of great importance in our society.

In general, the education is not very well evaluated.

It is a national problem that gradually has tried to improve. There is a big difference to educational attainment; this difference is much more, when they begin the University admissions. The question we all ask…..Why is this happening?

All responses are arguing this big difference, but nobody changes or tries to change this system.

Is known that there are big differences between private and public education, except for some cases.

We know that private education has more capital to make as many activities, than the public education, advantage that the public education does not have. This is reflected also in what is health prevention at school.

This is all a cycle, we depend on all. If it fails the cornerstone, which are those who teach others. What can expect from the training of professionals? A few years ago, the government has implemented a prevention education and early S.O.S for teachers, in an emergency.

This system of prevention in health should be in every school, and there is no difference between the public and private.

I believe that all children in all schools should have access to this plan of health prevention and early SOS. Nobody should be excluded. Since we can all be at risk in any situation.

In this occasion I speak about the gender role in health care. As long age ago there was a big difference between men and woman in the workplace. But today, this gap has been decreasing more and more, as women have been acquiring more power in the works.

All women have been winning their space, since it has become apparent that are equal or better in capabilities than men.

This attitude was seen in all areas of work, more so in the medical area.

In the specific field of midwifery there is not a big difference. For example, both men and women have equal access to all the charges that exist in a Hospital.

Today, the Hospitals recruit for her staff, people that have a big work’s experience, it doesn’t mater the gender.

In our professional field, we all have the same job opportunities, and have access to equal benefits at work.

But the difference will depend on the personal development that everyone does at work.

Each person should be responsible in giving the best at work, so that the country can progress.

Within the field of medicine, it is vital importance that all the medical staff has this awareness, to give the best, because we are working with human lives. They are human lives depend on our work to improve it. Literally leave their lives in our hands.

I think when I finish my carrier; I want to travel to Germany. But the first thing that I must do is to study or to remember the Germany language. In this country I want to make a PhD of neonatology. I love the new born. The Ph.D. is a time of three years. I want to live in Germany in the city of Heidelberg. It is a beautiful place! Heidelberg has one of the best hospitals in neonatology worldwide.

When I finish the PhD, I come back to Chile. Because here I have my family and all my friends, and is very important to me, to have near me. But here in Chile, in the first instance I want to working in the Public System. Here the working hours are established, and it is an advantage, because I can organise my time. I like to have time for different things, for example, I like to have family time, or anything else not related to my career.

When I have the necessary experience, I would like to be parallel in the private system, because the incomes are higher than the public system.

I want to attend the most difficult neonatal pathologies, and for that I need to study and know a lot. And the only way for have that level of education is to do more Ph.D. In consequence of this, I must paid this Ph.D , therefore I need to work a lot.

I decided to study midwifery after studying medicine for three years. I studied medicine in the Diego Portales University. It was a very difficult decision. Fortunately I have the support of my parents. In 2009 I started to study midwifery. I love this carrier! Despite I entering with a new curriculum, I think that is a big opportunity to integrate all the materials.

In this time, I have 10 subjects, it is a lot!

I take this opportunity to study midwifery because; this carrier has the possibility to take care of newborns, and all the vital cycle of the women. This subjects is very important to know, because is a health public problem.

In my opinion the most difficult subject is “ Histology” because for my is very boring, so I don’t study very much for this subject because I don’t like this , but I don’t have bad grades. And the subject that I really like is Anatomy, I love this subject, so I studied a lot and got very good grades. And this year I am part of a teaching assistant in anatomy. I’m very happy with this, because my anatomy’s teacher is a very nice and professional person.

I hope that this year will be better than or equal to 2009.

It is a great idea , that he Germany Clinic created this web, because the pregnancy-patients have a lot of doubts, and here, they can search for an answer.
When they have doubts or pains, and they didn’t know anything about this.
They funded information, because they needed find an answer; this web site is a opportunity to find information, but it is important to know that the answer who funded is only a guide, we must to visit the doctor.
I like this page because it has a lot of sections about maternity, pregnancy, births and baby care. This page has actually information, they renews the information every weeks.
This page has comment from doctor, midwifery and nurses and that gives a professional character.

I visit this web, ones a weeks, because all the time it has news about the last technology. It is wonderful, because all the people has access. I recommended this page because , it has always new information about the neonatology. This is my favourite topic.

Hello my name is Viviana!

I am from Santiago. I’m 23 years old.

I study midwifery in the Chile’s University. It is my second year in this carrier.

I am very happy, because I am studying what I wanted all in my life.

I have a lot of objectives to achieve with this carrier. I want to finish my carrier in the next 3 years. After that, I want to travel to Germany, because in this country I want to make a PhD in neonatology. I speak Germany, because I went to “Santa Ursula” school, this is a Germany school. I want to live there, because probably my brother wants to live in Germany to.

Speaking about my experience in the earthquake, luckily I was in Iquique with all my family. We didn’t feel anything.

In my opinion, the midwifery has a big responsibility, because they are the only who knows very well the woman and her needs, therefore they must to help.
