Impacto de la crisis en las entidades de acción social. Asindown, un ejemplo de superación
2013
La situación económica actual obliga a organismos públicos y empresas a adoptar medidas extraordinarias con el objetivo de mantener los servicios que prestan. En este contexto, las entidades (Fundaciones y Asociaciones) que atienden a personas con discapacidad y otros colectivos en riesgo de exclusión social, y que dependen en gran medida de las subvenciones públicas y privadas, sufren graves problemas de financiación que dificultan el normal desarrollo de sus actividades, y en consecuencia, son perjudicados aquellos usuarios y familias con las que trabajan. Asindown es parte de esta realidad y trabaja desde todos los ámbitos para mantener los servicios que presta con los mayores estándares…
Les associacions en els òrgans municipals de Participació Ciutadana de Burjassot
2014
This article attempts to present some of the results obtained throughout the study entitled “The perception of civil participation and its ability to influence local government: the case of Burjassot”, which is the Final Course Work for the Master in Management and Promotion of Local Development. This piece of research was carried out by applying quantitative techniques (documentary and statistical analysis) and qualitative methods (interviews, panel of experts). We specifically focus here on collecting the results involving the role played by partnerships at Burjassot’s Municipal Bodies for Civil Participation. We analyze their participation, the representativeness contributed to the Munic…
The birth of AISDesign / È nata AIS design, Associazione Italiana Storici del Design
2009
Ancora risuonano le parole di Giovanni Anceschi pronunciate parecchi anni fa, che riporta, non senza un velato disappunto, l’assenza in Italia di storie piuttosto che di microstorie legate ad aree geografiche o protagonisti, che riescano, con testi specifici, a coprire un vuoto teorico ancora esistente, il quale denuncia una difficoltà a costruire una letteratura critica sul graphic e visual design. Ma non solo. Ormai, e Pino Grimaldi lo sottolineerebbe con estrema chiarezza, bisogna rassegnarsi all’idea di parlare di design, nella sua completezza di disciplina progettuale, senza perdersi nella lunga e talvolta inutile attività della dettagliata nomenclatura. Troppo incerti i confini, tropp…
Do ventilatory parameters influence outcome in patients with severe acute respiratory infection? Secondary analysis of an international, multicentre1…
2021
Purpose: To investigate the possible association between ventilatory settings on the first day of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV) and mortality in patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) with severe acute respiratory infection (SARI). Materials and methods: In this pre-planned sub-study of a prospective, multicentre observational study, 441 patients with SARI who received controlled IMV during the ICU stay were included in the analysis. Results: ICU and hospital mortality rates were 23.1 and 28.1%, respectively. In multivariable analysis, tidal volume and respiratory rate on the first day of IMV were not associated with an increased risk of death; however, higher driving pr…
Adaptation and Validation of the Spanish Version of the Instrument to Evaluate Nurses’ Attitudes Toward Communication With the Patient for Nursing St…
2021
Communication is essential to quality of care and patient satisfaction. It has been linked to positive patient outcomes, increased engagement, improved health outcomes and safe practices. Given these benefits and the association between attitudes and behaviours, as behaviours can be predicted by studying attitudes, assessing nursing students' attitudes toward patient communication is critical as future nursing professionals. For this purpose, the main aim of this study was to adapt and validate an instrument to measure nurses´ attitudes towards communication (ACO) for nursing students. The attitudes towards communication with patients were analyzed. Then, differences in the dimensions of th…
UV variability and accretion dynamics in the young open cluster NGC 2264
2015
We explore UV and optical variability signatures for several hundred members of NGC 2264 (3 Myr). We performed simultaneous u- and r-band monitoring over two full weeks with CFHT/MegaCam. About 750 young stars are probed; 40% of them are accreting. Statistically distinct variability properties are observed for accreting and non-accreting cluster members. The accretors exhibit a significantly higher level of variability than the non-accretors, especially in the UV. The amount of u-band variability correlates statistically with UV excess in disk-bearing objects, which suggests that accretion and star-disk interaction are the main sources of variability. Cool magnetic spots, several hundred de…
X-shooter spectroscopy of young stars with disks. The TW Hydrae association as a probe of the final stages of disk accretion
2019
We investigate ongoing accretion activity in young stars in the TW Hydrae association (TWA, ~8-10 Myr), an ideal target to probe the final stages of disk accretion down to brown dwarf masses. Our sample comprises eleven TWA members with infrared excess, amounting to 85% of the total TWA population with disks, with spectral types between M0 and M9, and masses between 0.58 and 0.02 Msol. We employed homogeneous spectroscopic data from 300 to 2500 nm, obtained with X-shooter, to derive individual extinction, stellar parameters, and accretion parameters simultaneously. We then examined Balmer lines and forbidden emission lines to probe the physics of the star-disk interaction environment. We de…
Gaia -ESO Survey: Analysis of pre-main sequence stellar spectra
2015
This paper describes the analysis of UVES and GIRAFFE spectra acquired by the Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey in the fields of young clusters whose population includes pre-main sequence (PMS) stars. Both methods that have been extensively used in the past and new ones developed in the contest of the Gaia-ESO survey enterprise are available and used. The internal precision of these quantities is estimated by inter-comparing the results obtained by such different methods, while the accuracy is estimated by comparison with independent external data, like effective temperature and surface gravity derived from angular diameter measurements, on a sample of benchmarks stars. Specific strategi…
Acute stress and working memory in older people.
2015
Several studies have shown that acute stress affects working memory (WM) in young adults, but the effect in older people is understudied. As observed in other types of memory, older people may be less sensitive to acute effects of stress on WM. We performed two independent studies with healthy older men and women (from 55 to 77 years old) to investigate the effects of acute stress (Trier Social Stress Test; TSST) and cortisol on WM. In study 1 (n = 63), after the TSST women (but not men) improved their performance on Digit Span Forward (a measure of the memory span component of WM) but not on Digit Span Backward (a measure of both memory span and the executive component of WM). Furthermore,…
Relation between health literacy, self-care and adherence to treatment with oral anticoagulants in adults: a narrative systematic review
2018
Background Oral anticoagulants (OAC) are widely used in patients with cardiovascular diseases. However, for optimal OAC self-care patients must have skills, among which health literacy (HL) is highlighted. We aimed to describe the relation between HL and self-care in cardiovascular patients on OAC treatment. Methods Electronic searches were carried out in the PubMed, Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, SciELO, IME-Biomedicina, CUIDEN Plus and LILACS databases, limited to Spanish and English language and between January 2000–December 2016. Papers reported on adults older than 18 years, taking OAC by themselves for at least three months. PRISMA guidelines were used for p…
