Comparing three experiential learning methods and their effect on medical students' attitudes to learning communication skills.

2012

Background: Despite numerous studies exploring medical students’ attitudes to communication skills learning (CSL), there are apparently no studies comparing different experiential learning methods and their influence on students’ attitudes. Aims: We compared medical students’ attitudes to learning communication skills before and after a communication course in the data as a whole, by gender and when divided into three groups using different methods. Method: Second-year medical students (n ¼ 129) were randomly assigned to three groups. In group A (n ¼ 42) the theatre in education method, in group B (n ¼ 44) simulated patients and in group C (n ¼ 43) role-play were used. The data were gathere…

Deep Learning and Cultural Heritage: The CEPROQHA Project Case Study

2019

Cultural heritage takes an important part of the history of humankind as it is one of the most powerful tools for the transfer and preservation of moral identity. As a result, these cultural assets are considered highly valuable and sometimes priceless. Digital technologies provided multiple tools that address challenges related to the promotion and information access in the cultural context. However, the large data collections of cultural information have more potential to add value and address current challenges in this context with the recent progress in artificial intelligence (AI) with deep learning and data mining tools. Through the present paper, we investigate several approaches tha…

A proposal for sorting a projects portfolio through the ELECTRE TRI method focused on the European strategy

2019

In recent years, the partnerships between private companies and public organizations are becoming key elements for improving local development, territorial competitiveness, and delivering innovation. These collaborations are widely promoted by the European Framework Programme for Research and Innovation thanks to the provision of several instruments, such as Horizon 2020. In this context, competitiveness's improvement of the territory employing research and innovation actions is supported by the technological districts. In Sicily, the AgroBioPesca district has attempted a strategic action named "Call for ideas" in order to design its own roadmap for research and innovation in the agri-food …

groups acting on the line and the circle with at most N fixed points

2022

A classical theme in dynamical systems is that the first fundamental information comes from the understanding of periodic orbits. When studying group actions, this means that we want to understand the fixed points of elements of the group, and a natural question that emerges from that is: Which groups of homeomorphisms can act on a 1-manifold having all non-trivial elements with at most N fixed points? Our main objective in this work is to approach that question and understand what properties can such dynamical hypothesis induces to the group.For the case N=0, a classical result from O. Hölder implies that such group of homeomorphisms acting on the line is always semi-conjugate to a subgrou…

Intermittent and passivity based control strategies for a hyperchaotic system

2013

In this paper a four-dimensional hyperchaotic system with only one equilibrium is consid- ered and it is shown how the control and the synchronization of this system can be realized via two different control techniques. Firstly, we propose a periodically intermittent con- troller to stabilize the system states to the equilibrium and to achieve the projective syn- chronization of the system both in its periodic and hyperchaotic regime. Then, based on the stability properties of a passive system, we design a linear passive controller, which only requires the knowledge of the system output, to drive the system trajectories asymptoti- cally to the origin. Using the same passivity-based method, …

Propuesta de cambio para el desarrollo comunitario del barrio de "La Coma"

2013

En el artículo se hace un análisis de la vida cotidiana del barrio “La Coma”, un territorio excluido del desarrollo, que desde su propio vientre propone alternativas para cambiar su realidad concreta. El mismo es fruto de proyectos de intervención comunitaria que se han desarrollado en la comunidad en los últimos años, tiempo en el que se ha convivido con los vecinos, se ha participado sistemáticamente de sus espacios de acción y decisión social, así como en la construcción de proyectos de desarrollo que pretenden impulsar su cotidianeidad hacia grados superiores de funcionamiento social. El desarrollo del barrio implica plantear la oportunidad de apostar por lo diferente, garantizando la n…

Prediction of a Missing Protein Expression Map in the Context of the Human Proteome Project

2015

Experimental evidence for the entire human proteome has been defined in the Human Proteome Project, and it is publicly available in the neXtProt database. However, there are still human proteins for which reliable experimental evidence does not exist, and the identification of such information has become one of the overriding objectives in the chromosome-centric study of the human proteome. With this aim and considering the complexity of protein detection using shotgun and targeted proteomics, the research community has addressed the integration of transcriptomics and proteomics landscapes. Here, we describe an analytical pipeline that predicts the probability of a missing protein being exp…

Minimal Information About an Immuno-Peptidomics Experiment (MIAIPE)

2018

Minimal Information about an Immuno-Peptidomics Experiment (MIAIPE) is an initiative of the members of the Human Immuno-Peptidome Project (HIPP), an international program organized by the Human Proteome Organization (HUPO). The aim of the MIAIPE guidelines is to deliver technical guidelines representing the minimal information required to sufficiently support the evaluation and interpretation of immunopeptidomics experiments. The MIAIPE document has been designed to report essential information about sample preparation, mass spectrometric measurement and associated mass spectrometry (MS)-related bioinformatics aspects that are unique to immunopeptidomics and may not be covered by the genera…

Toward the Standardization of Mitochondrial Proteomics: The Italian Mitochondrial Human Proteome Project Initiative

2017

The Mitochondrial Human Proteome Project aims at understanding the function of the mitochondrial proteome and its crosstalk with the proteome of other organelles. Being able to choose a suitable and validated enrichment protocol of functional mitochondria, based on the specific needs of the downstream proteomics analysis, would greatly help the researchers in the field. Mitochondrial fractions from ten model cell lines were prepared using three enrichment protocols and analyzed on seven different LC-MS/MS platforms. All data were processed using neXtProt as reference database. The data are available for the Human Proteome Project purposes through the ProteomeXchange Consortium with the iden…
