Conciencia emocional, estados de ánimo y rendimiento académico
2017
Abstract.Emotional awareness is the basic emotional competence, which refers to individual differences in the way of being aware of the emotional functioning. Moods appear without specific reason, and are prolonged in time. Both are involved in multiple processes that modulate behavior and cognitive processes. Overall, the literature suggests a relationship between these variables and academic performance in school, however, is a contentious issue to be determined. The objective is to study the relationship of emotional awareness and moods academic performance. The participants were 1423 children, between 8-12 years old (M=9.88, SD=1.20), of both sexes (52.4 % girls) from Valencia. Particip…
La formación profesional a distancia: nuevos alumnos, nuevos retos
2020
La implantación de la modalidad semipresencial o a distancia en ciclos formativos es relativamente novedosa, existiendo un claro aumento de su demanda en los últimos años. En la Comunidad Valenciana existen 14 ciclos formativos de la familia de sanidad y el 85,7% se ofertan en la modalidad a distancia. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar si existen diferencias en el perfil del estudiante y su rendimiento académico entre las modalidades a distancia y presencial. Para ello, se realizó un estudio observacional transversal comparativo basado en un análisis de frecuencias. El curso seleccionado fue primero de Emergencias sanitarias, con 82 alumnos matriculados. Como instrumentos de medida…
Assessment itineraries and its relation with academic achievement
2017
[EN] In recent years the university educational reality shows signs of change. Among other innovations, it has meant the introduction of new ways of assessment, arousing the scientific interest it deserves. Concretely, the formative and shared assessment is developed in assessment routes that try to adapt to the needs of the students. However, the continuous, mixed and final assessment methods are related to different academic performance, which is worth considering. This article tries to deepen in the relation that these itineraries have with the obtained marks and analyses descriptively teacher assessment trends and students’ system assessment preferences of choice. The results show, on t…
Rendimiento académico en universitarios españoles: el papel de la personalidad y la procrastinación académica
2021
La procrastinación académica es un comportamiento común en la educación superior con una variedad de consecuencias negativas. El objetivo del presente estudio es investigar las relaciones entre los factores de personalidad del modelo de los cinco grandes (extraversión, neuroticismo, afabilidad, responsabilidad y apertura a la experiencia), la procrastinación académica y el rendimiento académico. Los participantes fueron 195 estudiantes universitarios españoles (77.4% mujeres y 22.6% hombres), con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 51 años (M = 21.39; DT = 4.58). El Ten-Item Personality Inventory se utilizó para evaluar los factores de personalidad del modelo de los cinco grandes y la Academ…
Regulation of the HTRA2 Protease Activity by an Inhibitory Antibody-Derived Peptide Ligand and the Influence on HTRA2-Specific Protein Interaction Ne…
2021
The mitochondrial serine protease HTRA2 has many versatile biological functions ranging from being an important regulator of apoptosis to being an essential component for neuronal cell survival and mitochondrial homeostasis. Loss of HTRA2 protease function is known to cause neurodegeneration, whereas overactivation of its proteolytic function is associated with cell death and inflammation. In accordance with this, our group verified in a recent study that the synthetic peptide ASGYTFTNYGLSWVR, encoding the hypervariable sequence part of an antibody, showed a high affinity for the target protein HTRA2 and triggered neuroprotection in an in vitro organ culture model for glaucoma. To unravel t…
FUNCIONAMIENTO EJECUTIVO TEMPRANO EN NIÑOS CON DIFICULTADES MATEMÁTICAS PERSISTENTES
2016
El objetivo del presente estudio consistió en examinar las diferencias en las funciones ejecutivas de inhibición y memoria de trabajo (MT) evaluadas en Educación Infantil entre sujetos con dificultades persistentes en el área de matemáticas en 2º de Educación Primaria y niños con un rendimiento adecuado. La muestra final del estudio estuvo conformada por 180 niños (inicialmente compuesta por 209 preescolares), de los cuales un 6.6% presentaron dificultades matemáticas persistentes (n = 12) y el 45.5% mostraron un rendimiento adecuado en ambas mediciones (n = 82). En Educación Infantil, se administraron seis tareas neuropsicológicas relacionadas con las funciones ejecutivas de inhibición, MT…
Inflammatory cytokines shape a changing DNA methylome in monocytes mirroring disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis
2019
Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that mainly targets joints. Monocytes and macrophages are critical in RA pathogenesis and contribute to inflammatory lesions. These extremely plastic cells respond to extracellular signals which cause epigenomic changes that define their pathogenic phenotype. Here, we interrogated how DNA methylation alterations in RA monocytes are determined by extracellular signals. Methods: High-throughput DNA methylation analyses of patients with RA and controls and in vitro cytokine stimulation were used to investigate the underlying mechanisms behind DNA methylation alterations in RA as well as their relationship with clinic…
The Clinical Value of Autoantibodies in Rheumatoid Arthritis
2018
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a highly heterogeneous syndrome in terms of clinical presentation, progression, and response to therapy. In such a complicated context, the identification of disease-related biomarkers would be undoubtedly helpful in assisting tailored approaches for every patient. Despite remarkable efforts, however, progress in new biomarker development and validation is dramatically slow. At present, none of the candidate genetic, cellular, or molecular biomarker has yet surpassed the clinical value of RA-specific autoantibodies, including rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated protein autoantibodies (ACPA). Rather, recent years have witnessed significant advancements …
Educate to coexist with the flood risk
2020
In the Mediterranean region, floods are the main natural risk. This hazard has been aggravated in recent decades by the increase in exposure of the human being and is expected to increase the danger according to the forecast of climate change scenarios. For this reason, dealing with these issues in the classroom and the training of teachers on this subject should be a priority, as established in the curriculum of Primary Education (Social Sciences). The objectives of this research are: 1) To analyze the knowledge that future teachers have about the risk of flooding to develop these contents in the classroom; 2) Check the relevance that they give to this social-environmental problem; and 3) …
Investigation of a Gravel-Bed River’s Pattern Changes: Insights from Satellite Images
2021
Changes in river pattern have been documented in the literature. The recognition of islands and vegetated patches, which is indicative of the evolution processes, requires simultaneous information at different points and at different times and field studies are still difficult and scarce. The present work, focusing the attention on a gravel-bed river, explores the possibility to conduct a first-step pattern changes analysis by identifying the evolution of the morphological features and taking information of islands and vegetated patches from satellite images easily available from Google Earth. The study is conducted by combining the information taken from both the satellite images and the f…
