The objective is to be able to record the effects of the astronomical phenomenon on atmospheric and ionospheric dynamics.

Throughout the month of June, the Space and Earth Observatory: SEO-ULS of the Space Physics Group of the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the Faculty of Sciences, has been preparing for the solar eclipse on July 2, whose center will be the Coquimbo Region. This makes it relevant to have several detectors to record the effects of the eclipse on atmospheric and ionospheric dynamics from the thermal, geoelectrical, geomagnetic, ionic and electronic composition, as well as its wave dynamics point of view.

Among the works that were carried out, the preparation of the VLF antenna was developed to study the behavior of the D layer of the ionosphere, the preparation of the Cherenkov detector to study the effect of the eclipse on cosmic rays and the development of the workshop in the context of the collaborative project “Interuniversity Research Center for the Upper Atmosphere”, at the Juan Soldado Scientific Pole, an instance in which researchers and students from the Department of Geophysics of the University of Concepción, the Department of Electronics of the University participated Chillán Adventist and the Space Physics Group of the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the University of La Serena.

From the Space Physics Group, they indicated that these works will be very important for astronomical research. “From the point of view of Space Physics, taking measurements during a total or partial eclipse is essential to advance the understanding of the electrodynamics of the Sun-Earth interaction when it is subjected to perturbations of short duration,” they expressed.

All of these works aim to position the University's work in the field of research as a national benchmark in the development of scientific research in space sciences.

The activity was carried out within the framework of the prompt implementation of the Acute Geriatric Unit in the main health facility of the regional capital.

As the beginning of the implementation of the elderly care protocol, which will grant preferential treatment to those over 60 years of age in the Serenense healthcare facility, the training carried out by the nurse was cataloged. Mg. Carmen Retamal, academic from the Nursing Department of the University of La Serena, which was aimed at personnel from the La Serena health service.

“This new approach to care is centered on the elderly person seen as a subject of rights and not as an object of care. The care system is changing, since we have to evolve to one that is born from the needs of the person, and for that it is essential to know the other," said the academic from the house of studies regarding the implementation of the new care unit.

For his part, the director of the regional hospital, Edgardo González, maintained that "older people have multiple pathologies, they must consume more than 5 medications daily, they suffer loss of functionality, among other factors that condition their dependence on care, therefore that the attention to them must be specialized and differentiated, this is an act of justice and a right, since they contributed a lifetime of work to the country.”  

Completing this training will allow hospital officials to be better prepared to care for older people, providing a service focused on communication and empathy with their patients, which is considered vital in the care of older adults.

The La Serena health service thanked the academic for her contribution, highlighting the contribution that her work will mean in providing better hospital care to elderly people, an age group that exceeds 3% of the country's population. .  

The activity will be open to the public and will take place on Monday, July 01, in the Brilliant Hall of the Ignacio Domeyko Campus.

The Environmental Civil Engineering program at the University of La Serena will hold the talk “Nature, Reason and Romanticism” next Monday, July 01, at 11:00 a.m., in the Brilliant Hall of the Ignacio Domeyko Campus of the university. , an activity that is open to the public, mainly to Engineering and Law students, as well as representatives of companies from all sectors.

The talk will be given by the lawyer and academic, Msc. Alejandro Canut de Bon, who has developed his expertise in environmental law and who will address as his main topic the influence of ecology on ethics, economics and law, and the possibility of recognizing the rights of nature.
