The influence of rTMS over prefrontal and motor areas in a morphological task: grammatical vs. semantic effects
2008
We investigated the differential role of two frontal regions in the processing of grammatical and semantic knowledge. Given the documented specificity of the prefrontal cortex for the grammatical class of verbs, and of the primary motor cortex for the semantic class of action words, we sought to investigate whether the prefrontal cortex is also sensitive to semantic effects, and whether the motor cortex is also sensitive to grammatical class effects. We used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to suppress the excitability of a portion of left prefontal cortex (first experiment) and of the motor area (second experiment). In the first experiment we found that rTMS applied to t…
Sense of coherence, academic performance and professional vocation in Certified Nursing Assistant students
2019
BACKGROUND: The sense of coherence (SOC) of the salutogenic health model explains why people in stressful situations are able to maintain or even improve their health. There are some studies on which measures are more effective to reduce stress in Nursing assistant students. There are no studies that link SOC with the two key aspects in the prevention of stress in Nursing assistant students: the motivation of pursuing this profession and the academic level. OBJECTIVES: To explore the salutogenic paradigm among Nursing assistant students in a region of Spain (Comunitat Valenciana). DESIGN: Cross-sectional, analytical and exploratory study carried out in 2016. METHODS: Students of the first y…
Vocational training integrated into inpatient psychosomatic rehabilitation--short and long-term results from a controlled study.
2005
Purpose. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of a vocational training programme on short- and long-term results after psychosomatic rehabilitation. Method. 1,590 inpatients were screened for vocational integration. A high-risk group of 266 patients was randomly assigned to the vocational training programme plus psychosomatic treatment; treatment- as- usual served as a control condition. An occupational training was conducted at local companies, closely integrated into psychosomatic treatment. Vocational attitudes and adjustment were studied at intake, discharge, three, 12 and 24 month follow-ups. Results. More than half of the study participants were unemployment and/or long-t…
Volatile organic compounds fingerprint of Alzheimer’s disease.
2015
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a profoundly life changing condition and once diagnosis occurs, this is typically at a relatively late stage into the disease process. Therefore, a shift to earlier diagnosis, which means several decades before the onset of the typical manifestation of the disease, will be an important step forward for the patient. A promising diagnostic and screening tool to answer this purpose is represented by breath and exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) analysis. In fact, human exhaled breath contains several thousand of VOCs that vary in abundance and number in correlation with the physiological status. The exhaled VOCs reflect the metabolism, including the neuronal …

Ar. fr. *322 K.-A.: parodia de lenguaje médico
2010
En este artículo el autor trata de mostrar las relaciones entre un fragmento aristofánico (Ar. fr. *322 K.-A.) y el vocabulario de la medicina, con vistas a localizar la parodia y los propósitos cómicos que, básicamente, representan una parodia cómica de la violencia. In this paper the author tries to point out the relations between an Aristophanic Fragment (Ar. fr. *322 K.-A.) and vocabulary from Medicine, in order to search for parody and comical purposes, mainly comically parody of violence.
Speech Emotion Recognition method using time-stretching in the Preprocessing Phase and Artificial Neural Network Classifiers
2020
Human emotions are playing a significant role in the understanding of human behaviour. There are multiple ways of recognizing human emotions, and one of them is through human speech. This paper aims to present an approach for designing a Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) system for an industrial training station. While assembling a product, the end user emotions can be monitored and used as a parameter for adapting the training station. The proposed method is using a phase vocoder for time-stretching and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) for classification of five typical different emotions. As input for the ANN classifier, features like Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs), short-te…
Sylvén, L. K. (2019). Investigating Content and Language Integrated Learning. Insights from Swedish High Schools. Bristol, UK: Multilingual Matters
2019
This volume presents a three-year research project on Content and Language Integration in Swedish Schools (CLISS). CLISS particularly focused on sciences and economics programs in senior high schools (Grades 10-12; 245 participants), which intended to prepare students for higher education. Divided into five sections, the book explores the language, rather than content, side of CLIL. The volume starts with background information concerning CLISS and CLIL in Sweden. The following four sections of the book concern assessment and motivation (Chapters 4-5); English vocabulary, reading comprehension and exposure to English (Chapters 6-9); students’ L1 proficiency and development through CLIL (Cha…

Eri tieteenaloilla käytetty akateeminen sanasto muodostuu pääsääntöisesti lainasanoista, jotka on lainattu kreikan tai latinan kielestä. Kun tarkastellaan näitä lainasanoja, voidaan helposti huomata, että useimmat niistä esiintyvät lähes samassa muodossa eri kielten välillä. Jos haluaa menestyä omalla tieteenalallaan, pelkkä termien tunnistaminen ei kuitenkaan riitä, sillä niitä on kyettävä käyttämään tehokkaasti esimerkiksi argumentteja laatiessa. Tämä puolestaan vaatii ymmärrystä niiden merkityksestä. Koska tieteessä käytetyt sanat ovat usein lainasanoja joko kreikasta tai latinasta, on oletettavaa, että näiden kielten taito edesauttaa vieraiden sekä uusien akateemisten sanojen omaksumist…
Difesa del dominium e stabilità della res publica nell'orazione ciceroniana Pro Murena
2007
Si mette in luce l'efficace intreccio fra tecnicismi giuridici, prassi politico-costituzionale ed espedienti oratori organizzato da Cicerone nell'orazione 'pro Murena', con particolare attenzione alla centralità, nella strategia difensiva, del raccordo impostato tra la difesa della proprietà privata e la sussistenza della res publica.
