“…Scientific paradigms are a shared organization of groups, ranging from preferred analogies and metaphors to shared examples, heuristics, ontological models, or accepted hypotheses of the laws of nature (Anand et al, 2020). It is a kind of methodological and conceptual universe that the scientist can use to reinforce existing theories or develop new (Guerra et al, 2011). These paradigms over time fill the gaps in knowledge that gave rise to them, which causes one paradigm to exhaust or end naturally, it is a kind of crisis, and therefore the beginning of another occurs naturally (Kuhn, 1971).…”

The agri-food sector worldwide is the most important for life. The recent pandemic made it clear that the best way to resist, overcome and adapt to health problems is by maintaining a healthy, adequate and balanced diet. Currently, food comes almost entirely from agri-food systems, the problem is that the agri-food sector subordinated to an economic and scientific model with very clear interests and objectives. In this sense, the aim of this work was to carry out an analysis of the logic, dynamics and relationship between science, technology, agri-food systems, health and wellbeing from the perspective of Social Studies of Science and Technology. With what is intended contribute to the debate on the future and the strategic transformation of agri-food systems. As a first point, an exploration of the evolution and trends of science and technology in the agri-food sector is carried out. Next, an analysis is developed on the importance of agri-food systems and the ways in which they have been configured. Subsequently, the relationship between food and health and the main implications and damage caused by the current agri-food regime are addressed. Based on the above, some alternatives are proposed to improve nutrition, health and wellbeing. These alternatives imply, on the one hand, a profound reconfiguration of technological systems, orienting them toward the reproduction of life. Secondly, and as a consequence of the above, a reorganization of the economic and social systems. To achieve this, it is advisable to design a policy that promotes sustainable agri-food systems and integrate broad work and research groups that allow addressing these problems and proposing alternatives from different perspectives. Finally, it is important to design and implement science dissemination programs on the relationships, controversies, tensions and problems that exist between scientific and technological development and the agri-food sector, health and wellbeing with the aim of having a true impact on the society and a genuine social appropriation of knowledge.

“…Fuente: Fawcett J, Garity J. 2009 16 Aunque hay claridad en la construcción disciplinar que hace enfermería acerca de sus paradigmas, caracterizados por ser: "una unidad que encapsula, que da estructura; el paradigma para enfermería es el más amplio consenso de una disciplina" 16 ; la visión de Kuhn contrasta radicalmente, toda vez que para este un Paradigma se caracteriza por "tener una connotación más práctica que teórica; sin desconocer que este se nutre tanto del saber empírico propio de la teoría, y de la habilidad que se deriva de la práctica; también los paradigmas han de caracterizarse por denotar cambio, progreso; (…) en términos generales, un Paradigma es una suerte de universo metodológico y conceptual donde el científico puede operar" 18,19 .…”

Introducción: En Colombia la educación doctoral de enfermería es un progreso relativamente reciente. Tras una década de formación, aspectos como el aporte de nuevo conocimiento, el avance en los diseños - metodologías de investigación, y la cantidad de doctores formados, son subestimadas o inexistentes. Este contexto lleva a indagar al respecto los retos y limitantes de la generación de nuevo conocimiento de enfermería. Objetivos: Discutir el progreso de los doctorados de enfermería en Colombia, como descriptor específico del desarrollo disciplinar y científico del conocimiento enfermero, sustentado a partir de los constructos teóricos planteados en la obra de Thomas Kuhn, y de la trans-disciplinariedad. Metodología: Estudio descriptivo, narrativo basado en una revisión documental de la literatura acerca del perfeccionamiento del conocimiento enfermero llevado a cabo en Colombia. Resultados y Conclusiones: La tasa de titulación de doctores en enfermería no sufre incrementos desde 2011; solamente un 6.4% de los trabajos de tesis doctoral desarrollado, tienen un alcance de tipo concluyente; aunque se evidencia una correlación positiva entre las teorías de enfermería y los problemas de estudio desarrollados por los doctores en enfermería, no es claro el abordaje particular que se hace de los metaparadigmas, y las visiones de enfermería dentro del diseño de cada estudio. Se propone impulsar el trabajo colaborativo (trans-disciplinariedad), así como estimular el desarrollo de programas acordes con las necesidades sentidas de la sociedad colombiana. Se evidencia la no existencia de congruencia entre los postulados de Kuhn y el desarrollo epistemológico de la enfermería actual.
