On the stability of some controlled Markov chains and its applications to stochastic approximation with Markovian dynamic
2015
We develop a practical approach to establish the stability, that is, the recurrence in a given set, of a large class of controlled Markov chains. These processes arise in various areas of applied science and encompass important numerical methods. We show in particular how individual Lyapunov functions and associated drift conditions for the parametrized family of Markov transition probabilities and the parameter update can be combined to form Lyapunov functions for the joint process, leading to the proof of the desired stability property. Of particular interest is the fact that the approach applies even in situations where the two components of the process present a time-scale separation, w…
Portales educativos : la producción de materiales didácticos digitales
2018
El objetivo principal de este artículo es conocer cómo se organiza la producción de los materiales didácticos digitales de creación propia de portales institucionales de recursos educativos, tomando como referencia la perspectiva de sus principales responsables. En concreto, se analiza el caso del repositorio institucional de recursos de la Comunidad Autónoma de Canarias, Ecoescuela 2.0; y del portal de recursos educativos en abierto Procomún (Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte). Con este estudio se pretende dar respuesta a distintas cuestiones relacionadas con la autoría de los materiales, el proceso y desarrollo, así como los criterios que establecen los portales institucionales p…
Tutorial Action in Small Groups: An Educational Experience With University Students
2016
Resumen:En el presente estudio se plantean tres objetivos. El primero, describir las principales características de un programa de acción tutorial desarrollado en una asignatura de una facultad de formación de profesorado. El segundo, determinar la valoración del grado de importancia que el estudiantado otorga a un grupo de competencias transversales y el grado de conocimiento sobre aspectos relacionados con la metodología de investigación durante el proceso de acción tutorial. El tercero, discutir el papel que juega la acción tutorial en la formación universitaria dentro del nuevo espacio europeo de educación superior. La experiencia se desarrolló en el curso académico 2014-2015. Participa…
Reaching professional skills with the Final Master Thesis: Collaboration towards actual solutions
2019
[EN] In order to motivate the student through a professional experience, and to improve the teaching-learning process by letting the student gain experience, we implement a collaborative learning-through-service methodology. This method increases the student involvement level and the deep understanding of the tools. As a matter of example, we present the implementation of this method in the Final Master Thesis (FMTh) of the Master on Corporate Finance at the University of Valencia (UV). In these FMTh, students have to valuate an actual innovation developed by UV researchers (on chemistry, in this case) with the goal of helping them to transfer (sell) this innovation to the industry. This co…
From nurse-centered health counseling to empowermental health counseling.
2001
The main goals of this study were to examine aspects of the delivery and reception of advice and questions in interaction between nurses and patients and to describe linguistic features that constructed nurse-centered and empowermental health counseling. The research data, 38 health counseling sessions, were videotaped, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed by using an adaptation of conversational analysis. During nurse-centered discussions, the nurses' advice did not correspond to the patients' need for information. These counseling sessions began with check-up questions about the patients' condition and continued with factual questions about their illnesses and health care measures. During e…
Nurses' self-reflection via videotaping to improve communication skills in health counseling.
1999
Abstract The purpose of this qualitative research was to describe nurses' opinions of their communication skills in health counseling situations and to analyze the levels of reflectivity in their evaluations according to Mezirow. Nineteen nurses participated in the research on a voluntary basis and evaluated their interaction with patients on video on two occasions half a year apart. Nurses gave verbal feedback in an interview immediately after videotaping, after which they read education materials, watched their counseling on video and wrote an evaluation of their communication skills. Transcribed audiotaped interviews and written evaluations were analyzed using content analysis. Nurses sa…
The social consequences of binge drinking among 24- to 32-year-olds in six European countries.
2010
Udgivelsesdato: 2010-Mar Data were available from general population surveys carried out in six countries in the years 2000 to 2005 under the auspices of Gender, Alcohol and Culture: An International Study (GENACIS). A total of 2089 adults aged 24-32 in the Czech Republic, Denmark, the Isle of Man, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom (UK) responded to questions about their drinking habits and social consequences directly resulting from their drinking. Survey methods varied from quota sampling with face-to-face interviewing in Spain and the UK to telephone surveys in Denmark and Sweden. Response rates varied from 50% to 72%. "Binge drinking" defined as a usual amount of more than 8 UK "uni…
Family members’ experiences of being cared for by nurses and physicians in Norwegian intensive care units: A phenomenological hermeneutical study
2014
Summary Objectives When patients are admitted to intensive care units, families are affected. This study aimed to illuminate the meaning of being taken care of by nurses and physicians for relatives in Norwegian intensive care units. Research methodology/design Thirteen relatives of critically ill patients treated in intensive care units in southern Norway were interviewed in autumn 2013. Interview data were analysed using a phenomenological hermeneutical method inspired by the philosopher Paul Ricoeur. Results Two main themes emerged: being in a receiving role and being in a participating role. The receiving role implies experiences of informational and supportive care from nurses and phys…
