The use of technologies


In this academic year, have incorporated the most representative subjects of the degree, with emphasis in the medical subjects. These, are the basis for the understanding animals in its normal physiological state, for later to go forward in the following years, in solution of the diseases that affect them.
For better development and understanding of these disciplines is necessary the use of technologies such as electrocardiograms, microscopes, chromatographs, PCR and many other tools, which it detail in a exhaustive way the functioning, depending of each study, of the organs, cells, compounds and molecules respectively. Entirely qualified to the students of the university.
When we do hindsight, we see that the pedagogy was done in poor conditions, in spite of it have emerged of positive way the older students. At present, the learning process, which is simultaneous with the use of technology, for students constitute a more dynamic and enriching experience.
The first time that we use the microscope to observe cell multiplication, we were able fully understand the explanations given by teachers about the biological process, reinforced through of the experience , the theoretical knowledge.
The use of technologies in the faculty to the support of learning essentially incorporates the vision, which is a method that involves a memorization faster and longer during (almost permanent) in the brain.
In conclusion, supported by appropriate material for each subject is indispensable for better development of student learning, because contributing to the explanation of these. T he learning becomes dynamic, permanent and enriching. When we use these tools, we are who directly manipulate these, which makes that we empirically prove each theory taught , leading to the emergence of new ideas that support this theory or refute of this to solve a problem.

CHALLENGES IN YOUR DISCIPLINE

Currently in the degree of veterinary medicine presents many challenges. Still is the same implements of earlier decades, which are the basic tools for clinical diagnostics, but as research has progressed new diseases have emerged which must be determined by methods differents at traditional. It has had to take tools from humans and don´t specialize in animals, although they serve, but they are not optimal because the animals have physiologies and morphologies, that sometimes are slightly different, but than at the time to be exact, are significant. Another option, and the most common in exotic animal clinic, is to make handmade materials, which isn´t advisable.
In social matters, which is very hand in hand with education, we could say that we're doing a very poor job. Today we see that people visit the veterinarian in a manner not very routine when your pet is sick, correct it would be that the pets will go a preventive control to prevent illness rather and not that it arrive almost dying.
One of the important aspects, so the degree of veterinary medicine has not been considered is due to the lack of control to insincere medicals, that are really fraudulent people who just want usufruct of love that people have toward their pets referred to a problem that affects 3 entities, pets, owners and real doctors who are called inefficient for fault of people without discretion
To improve or solve these problems that have arisen during the years is necessary that:1. It implements new technologies to better diagnoses translating to better treatments.2. Teaching the community through school programs, neighborhood associations, clinics and so on.3. Forcing that all the students graduates from veterinary medicine let to veterinary medical association, certified him of your quality of learning and the ability to exercise its title.
Para mejorar o solucionar estos problemas que han surgido durante años es preciso que :
1. Se implemente nuevas tecnologías para mejores diagnósticos traduciéndose a mejores tratamientos.
2. Enseñando a la comunidad a través de programas escolares, juntas de vecinos, consultorios etc.
3. Obligando que todo estudiante egresado de medicina veterinaria entre al colegio de médicos veterinarios, certificando a este de su calidad de aprendizaje y la capacidad de ejercer su título.

IMPROVING YOUR FACULTY FACILITIES


Currently the faculty of veterinary medicine is in first place in universities offering this degree. Moreover , the students have developed the humanistic area with volunteer veterinary work being carried out in rural areas of the country, which don´t have medical care.
However, there are situations that hinder optimal learning in faculty according to my opinion, for example, are ask for students to take many classes in the semester. In addition there are teachers who don´t pass the study material, making it difficult to take notes on what they say. All the above mentioned is leads to stress, lack of concentration and sleep which leads to many students withdraw from university.To improve the situation should to hire teachers and researchers separately, as there are researchers who really don´t like or can not teach. All teachers should to give supporting material to take notes during class. Another measure would be to extend more time the degree of veterinary. One of the last things is to incorporate new subject such as ethics and medicine of exotic animals.
Many people who enter veterinary medicine is because they want to care for the animals and they find that the most developed area is animal production. No means no care for the older animals in production but the purpose is different. Therefore, incorporating ecology, exotic animals, would encourage them to study and also the incentives to become better students with a good support during the years of study at the faculty of veterinary medicine.

My animal favorite


My favorite animal is the camel, but the species that I admire is the bactriciano. The reasons why I love so much are:
First, its slow journey inspires me tranquility. I get the impression that when walking, it enjoys the landscape that covers. Their big eyes and long eyelashes give an impression of tenderness in its face, furthermore its enormous figure doormat remind me a teddy bear or giant dog.
To this animal I met him when I went to the zoo Metropolitano. The reason of the visit was to do a research on animal welfare on different species such as carnivores, herbivores, birds and ungulates, and on this last topic I chose him because it was alone in its yard. Its face of sadness and its mouth with slobber, moreover that when I took to photographs it was placed near the photograph camera and at camel liked that I make cuddle in its ears. All this happened led me to love to this animal so lovely.
To finish its most important features. The camels live in Middle Eastern countries, mostly living in Somalia. It provide to the people with milk, food and transportation. Camels do not keep water in their humps as is commonly believed. The humps have fatty tissue. It is relatives of the South American camelids, the llama, alpaca, guanaco, and vicuña. The average life expectancy of a camel is 40 to 50 years.
Their mouth is very sturdy, able to chew thorny desert plants. Long eyelashes and ear hairs, together with sealable nostrils, form a barrier against sand. Their gait and their widened feet help them move without sinking into the sand.

The secret life of seahorses



It is surprising that a seahorse that it has the size of palm of your hand, it can show us peculiar characteristic s. Features like a pair the eyes that turn and a prehensile tail. For its beautiful appearance, they are endangered. But the most wonderful characteristics is the sex life of the seahorse. First, it is nose-to-nose. Second, wrapping its tails, both do a dance together and later swim head with its heads down. Finally, forming a heart with its touch snouts and bellies and the joint of their tails. It courtship may be for long hours, risking itself lives.
Of the female emerge a tube since its belly that penetrate to male, passing liquid with eggs. Therefore are the males who care to its sons during all the time that the pregnancy. It example of reproduction don´t is same to the mammals, because in it, is of female who feed to its pups in the womb.
Other curious date, is that the great majority of female seahorse are loyal to its couples, despite that the male is who is in pregnancy. The seahorses are monogamous in the breeding season, sometimes the couples, get back together again in the year following.

To be A Chilean is more that to have born in Chile, is to feel self identified with your culture, with the environment that surrounds it, beside to be a participant of the development of the country.
The being Chilean is considered to be, on one hand, like a person who is very compromised by what wants. She is a good person, hurts with the foreign suffering, is very sentimental.
On the other hand, abroad he is considered to be a thief, sluggishly and unpunctual.
The Chileans should to be proud of our land, of the environment that surrounds us. Chile to the being very long country, has varied environments for example in the North the desert, at east the mountain, at West we have the sea and in the South a rainy weather, moreover of Isla de Pascua, and other island. Too we have diverse cultures, as Atacameños, Mapuches etc,
We have our own music and dance, like the music Andina, the Cueca, la Guaracha, La Tirana and more and also we have a delicious food. We have a lot of benefits of which we can take advantage for the tourism.
We have that to be ashamed about the characteristics that I mentioned in the previous point.
This year didn´t affect me directly On September 11. Every was very calm in The Pintana, at least in the morning. It affected me indirectly, since they closed early the supermarket more of the habitual.
I think that September 11 is one day which it is necessary to remember as any other milestone in the history of Chile.
