Innovación en la gestión educativa: un estudio empírico
2021
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the impact of innovative education tools-in this case, based on experimental methodology-on the acquisition of theoretical knowledge among management students. The study incorporates a clear split-sample design using two equivalent, randomly created groups. One group participates in a classroom experiment designed to illustrate the concept of the Phillips Curve, while the other participated in a traditional non-experimental lesson. The experiment is implemented under a strict protocol, while results evaluation is based on the comparison of post-experiment academic performance, which guarantees full anonymity and privacy of decisions. This design analyzes the imp…
Simulating Terahertz Field-Induced Ferroelectricity in Quantum Paraelectric SrTiO3
2021
Recent experiments have demonstrated that light can induce a transition from the quantum paraelectric to the ferroelectric phase of SrTiO3. Here, we investigate this terahertz field-induced ferroelectric phase transition by solving the time-dependent lattice Schrödinger equation based on first-principles calculations. We find that ferroelectricity originates from a light-induced mixing between ground and first excited lattice states in the quantum paraelectric phase. In agreement with the experimental findings, our study shows that the nonoscillatory second harmonic generation signal can be evidence of ferroelectricity in SrTiO3. We reveal the microscopic details of this exotic phase transi…
Sigh in patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure and acute respiratory distress syndrome: the PROTECTION pilot randomized clinical trial
2021
Background: Sigh is a cyclic brief recruitment manoeuvre: previous physiological studies showed that its use could be an interesting addition to pressure support ventilation to improve lung elastance, decrease regional heterogeneity and increase release of surfactant. Research question: Is the clinical application of sigh during pressure support ventilation (PSV) feasible? Study design and methods: We conducted a multi-center non-inferiority randomized clinical trial on adult intubated patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure or acute respiratory distress syndrome undergoing PSV. Patients were randomized to the No Sigh group and treated by PSV alone, or to the Sigh group, treated b…

Setting Individual Goals for Pupils with Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities : Engaging in the Activity Area-Based Curriculum Making
2021
The activity area-based curriculum model (AACM) is used in the Finnish basic education to support pupils—most of whom have profound intellectual and multiple disabilities (PIMD)—who could benefit more from skills that advance independent life coping. Existing studies have concentrated mainly on the Individual Education Plan (IEP) goal-setting process for pupils with milder disabilities than PIMD and have consistently demonstrated significant barriers in the process. This study explores the collaborative IEP goal-setting process for pupils with the AACM. Sixty-five Finnish special education teachers using the AACM participated in the study. Semi-structured interviews were analysed with thema…
CMC is more than a measure of corticospinal tract integrity in acute stroke patients
2021
In healthy subjects, motor cortex activity and electromyographic (EMG) signals from contracting contralateral muscle show coherence in the beta (15-30 Hz) range. Corticomuscular coherence (CMC) is considered a sign of functional coupling between muscle and brain. Based on prior studies, CMC is altered in stroke, but functional significance of this finding has remained unclear. Here, we examined CMC in acute stroke patients and correlated the results with clinical outcome measures and corticospinal tract (CST) integrity estimated with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). During isometric contraction of the extensor carpi radialis muscle, EMG and magnetoencephalographic oscillatory signals were re…

Los resgos para el dereho en tiempos de pandemia: el ejemplo paradigmàtico de los puertos italianos declarados inseguros
2021
The coherence of the legal system becomes a particularly relevant and complex issue with regard to the conflicts that may arise between constitutional principles. From this perspective, the paper considers some immigration laws - and in particular the Ministerial Decree of 7 April 2020, which states that "for the entire duration of the national health emergency resulting from the spread of the COVID_19 virus, Italian ports do not ensure the necessary requirements for the classification and definition of Place of safety ("safe place") "- enacted by the Italian government in the most acute period of the health emergency connected to the spread of covid-19, by evaluating whether they, by affec…

Polyamino Acid Carriers In Drug Delivery And Their Production Under Good Manufacturing Practice Compliance
2021
Poly(Amino Acids) (PAA)s are biocompatible, biodegradable and multifunctional polymers, which have been effectively used as building blocks in polymer-based delivery carriers for various medical applications. In addition, PAAs are envisaged to achieve a major impact on biomedical areas due to their structural versatility, biocompatibility, water-solubility and the important advances made on the synthetic strategies. Control on polymer chain length and stereochemistry have been one of the major challenges in PAA synthesis over the past years. Their physico-chemical properties can be modulated in terms of the manufacturing process, size, electrostatic charge, conformation, geometry, topology,…
Analysis of the Economic Potential Trough Biochar Use for Soybean Production in Poland
2021
Soybean (Glycine max L.) is one of the most important crops grown globally. Biochar has been proposed as an alternative to aid sustainable soybean production. However, comprehensive studies that include both the economic aspects of soybean production and biochar are scarce. Poland, with an economy largely based on agriculture, is an interesting case to investigate the cost-effectiveness of using biochar in soybean production. We show that the use of biochar at rates of 40, 60 and 80 t/ha is unprofitable compared with a traditional soil amendment, such as NPK fertilization. The breakeven price for biochar to be economically viable should be USD 39.22, USD 38.29 and USD 23.53 for 40, 60 and 8…

Baltā fosfora alfa un beta fāzu Ramana spektroskopiskie pētījumi
2021
Baltais fosfors ir molekulārs kristāls, kas sastāv no tetraedra formas P4 molekulām, kuru savstarpējais izkārtojums kristāliskajā režģī mainās, pārejot starp trim pazīstamajām fāzēm: α; β; γ. Materiāls ir pazīstams jau sen, taču kā molekulārs kristāls tas ir pētīts salīdzinoši maz, it īpaši ar svārstību spektroskopijas metodēm, kas, piemēram, spētu apstiprināt vai noliegt no rentgenstaru difrakcijas iegūto kristālisko struktūru pareizību. Šajā darbā eksperimentāli iegūti baltā fosfora α un β fāzu Ramana izkliedes spektri pie dažādām temperatūrām apgabalā no -125°C līdz -20°C. Darbā apskatīts hipotētisks baltā fosfora α fāzes kristāliskās struktūras modelis ar augstu simetriju, kam izveidots…

Meniere's disease: Therapeutic options
2021
Meniere's disease (MD) is characterized by the triad of fluctuating hearing loss, episodic vertigo and tinnitus, and by endolymphatic hydrops found on postmortem examinations. Since the description of endolymphatic hydrops by Hallpike and Cairns, the physiopathology of Meniere's symptoms has been based on assumption that the pathologic lesion was the cause of the symptoms. Schuknecht proposed the theory of membranous rupture causing the mixing up of endolymph and perilymph leading to the occurrence of Meniere's symptoms. Lawrence confirmed this theory with research on experimental animals. In 1995 the AAO-HNS criteria defines "Possible MD (Grade D), Probable MD (Grade C), Definite MD (Grade…
Wykorzystywanie seksualne małoletnich przez duchownych w kinematografii: nierozpoznane znaki czasu
2021
Contemporary theology applies the old notion of loci theologici also to media and film. It is not only films that are directly religious (biblical, hagiographies, etc.) that have theological significance, but also those that take up topics related to the Church in a critical way. Therefore, one should be aware of the appearance of successive films, documentaries and feature films, which raise the issue of sexual abuse against the youngest (paedophilia) also in the Church. The article presents the most important films, whose authors present the perpetrators of paedophilia, the mechanisms leading to its concealment and silence not only in the Church, but also in the media and society, as well…

Inconsistencies in four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity
2021
We attempt to clarify several aspects concerning the recently presented four-dimensional Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. We argue that the limiting procedure outlined in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 081301 (2020)] generally involves ill-defined terms in the four dimensional field equations. Potential ways to circumvent this issue are discussed, alongside remarks regarding specific solutions of the theory. We prove that, although linear perturbations are well behaved around maximally symmetric backgrounds, the equations for second-order perturbations are ill-defined even around a Minkowskian background. Additionally, we perform a detailed analysis of the spherically symmetric solutions and find tha…
The relevance of educational poverty in Europe: Determinants and remedies
2021
Abstract This paper explores the degree of educational poverty in European countries using data from OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). This research adopts the class of additive multidimensional poverty measures proposed by Alkire & Foster (2011) and investigates the degree of educational poverty in terms of incidence, breadth, depth and severity. Also, we analyse the impact of students’ characteristics and school-level factors on the probability of being educational poor in various learning dimensions. The findings reveal that between 2006 and 2015 the incidence of educational poverty became more relevant in many European countries, while most of them experienced …
Margaret Atwood and Adaptation: The Handmaid’s Tale and Beyond
2021
Margaret Atwood has long been appreciated for her ardent defense of Canadian authors and her genre-bending fiction, essays and poetry. However, an aspect of her work that has perhaps been less thoroughly examined is her work both as adaptor and as source for adaptation in media as varied as opera, television, film, or comic books. Recent critically acclaimed television adaptations of the novels The Handmaid’s Tale (Hulu) and Alias Grace (Amazon) have rightfully focused attention on these works, but Atwood’s fiction has long been a source of inspiration for artists of various media, a seeming corollary to Atwood’s own tendency to explore the possibilities of media (graphic novels), genres (s…
