Lexically specific vs. productive constructions in L2 Finnish
2020
ABSTRACTIt is assumed from a usage-based perspective that learner language constructions emerge from natural language use in social interaction through exemplar learning. In L1, young learners have been shown to develop their constructions from lexically specific, formulaic expressions into more productive, abstract schemas. A similar developmental path has been shown for L2 development, with some exceptions. The aim of the current study is to explore to what extent the default assumption holds for L2 learning. The development of two constructions was traced in four adults learning L2 Finnish. Free-response data, collected weekly over a period of 9 months, were used to investigate the produ…
Coach-athlete perceived congruence between actual and desired emotions in karate competition and training
2017
Coaches can help athletes regulate emotions but would benefit from tools that help them accurately perceive athletes' emotions. In the present study, we investigated the use of video-recorded performances to compare 3 martial artists' ratings of desired and actual emotions with their coach's ratings. Results show how desired emotions progressively fluctuated throughout competition. Furthermore, desired and actual emotions differed between training and performance contexts. Finally, we report correlations between performance and perceived congruence in desired and actual emotions. Cumulatively, results offer support for the video-assisted recall of emotions as an intervention tool in develop…
The Effects of Transcutaneous Spinal Direct Current Stimulation on Neuropathic Pain in Multiple Sclerosis: Clinical and Neurophysiological Assessment
2019
Background: Central neuropathic pain represents one of the most common symptoms in multiple sclerosis (MS) and it seriously affects quality of life. Spinal mechanisms may contribute to the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain in MS. Converging evidence from animal models and neurophysiological and clinical studies in humans suggests a potential effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tc-DCS) on neuropathic pain. Spinal application of DCS, i.e., transcutaneous spinal DCS (ts-DCS), may modulate nociception through inhibition of spinal reflexes. Therefore, ts-DCS could represents an effective, safe and well-tolerated treatment for neuropathic pain in MS, a largely unexplored topic. This…
Regulación emocional como proceso de transdiagnóstico a través de los trastornos depresivos y ansiedad.
2020
Frente al enfoque tradicional centrado en trastornos específicos, los modelos transdiagnósticos hipotetizan procesos y mecanismos compartidos por diversos trastornos psicológicos. En relación con los trastornos de ansiedad y los trastornos depresivos, entre los procesos comunes que más interés despiertan, se encuentra la regulación emocional (RE). Las estrategias de RE inicialmente se clasificaron como adaptativas o desaptativas en función de sus consecuencias. Sin embargo, una segunda generación de estudios enfatiza la importancia del contexto y la flexibilidad. En el ámbito psicopatológico se han aplicado los modelos surgidos de la investigación básica y, por otra parte, se han generado t…
On the transcendental undercurrents of phenomenology: the case of the living body
2021
AbstractToday the phenomenological concept of the lived body figures centrally in several philosophical and special scientific debates. In these wide and widening fields, the concept is used with multiple different meanings. In order to clarify and delineate the debates, this paper provides an explication of the phenomenological-transcendental methods. It argues that these methods help us remove the most fundamental ambiguities of the concept of embodiment by distinguishing between the main constituents of the lived body and by illuminating their mutual relations.
Electronic Energy Meter Based on a Tunnel Magnetoresistive Effect (TMR) Current Sensor
2017
In the present work, the design and microfabrication of a tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) electrical current sensor is presented. After its physical and electrical characterization, a wattmeter is developed to determine the active power delivered to a load from the AC 50/60 Hz mains line. Experimental results are shown up to 1000 W of power load. A relative uncertainty of less than 1.5% with resistive load and less than 1% with capacitive load was obtained. The described application is an example of how TMR sensing technology can play a relevant role in the management and control of electrical energy.

2014
El módulo métodos y técnicas para el desarrollo local (I): investigación social, negociación y comunicación se desarrollará dentro de las materias del Master de gestión y promoción del desarrollo local. Cualquier actuación relacionada con el desarrollo local debe partir de un conocimiento exhaustivo de la realidad de su ámbito geográfico de actuación. Por ello, los profesionales de este campo se ven abocados a la realización de investigaciones ad hoc que les permitan este conocimiento. En esta tarea, las técnicas de investigación social son fundamentales para conseguir este objetivo. Esta asignatura ofrece una guía sobre cómo utilizar las diferentes técnicas de investigación social aplicánd…
Prompt Determination of the Mechanical Properties of Industrial Polypropylene Sandwich Pipes
2021
A simple and prompt method to determine the mechanical properties of industrial multilayer extrusion polypropylene pipes for a gravity sewer network is suggested. The engineering formulas included for calculating the permissible thickness and relative position of a foam core in the pipes are based on a linear-elastic approximation and the rule of mixtures. The applicability of the approximation was justified experimentally during investigation of the effective tensile characteristics of single- and multilayer pipes and each layer specimen by using traditional tests and finite-element calculations. The results obtained were used to formulate engineering recommendations for calculations of th…
