Dimensión metacognitiva de las construcciones sintácticas suspendidas: Estudio descriptivo con pacientes afásicos españoles
2016
By taking into consideration conversational outputs from aphasic Spanish speakers, a functional characterisation of suspended syntactic constructions will be provided here. Suspensions of syntactic constructions may be initially thought of as attributed to a language processing deficit in people with aphasia, which is, in fact, only partly the case. An examination of conversational data demonstrates, however, that a comprehensive explanation of syntactic suspensions requires a re-assessment of this phenomenon in the realm of meta-cognitive processes associated with language behaviour. Five general types of procedures and contexts for suspended syntactic constructions will be proposed and di…
Metalinguaggio nella Valutazione dell'Afasia
2019
Metalinguaggio nella Valutazione dell'Afasia (Rosell-Clari & Hernández-Sacristán, 2019) es una versión adaptada al italiano y abreviada de Rosell Clari & Hernández Sacristán, 2014). Esta prueba fue desarrollada inicialmente para evaluar las habilidades metalingüísticas naturales en personas con afasia (Hernández-Sacristán, Rosell-Clari, Serra-Alegre y Quiles-Climent, 2012). Las habilidades metalingüísticas naturales se refieren al uso del lenguaje que revela reflexividad (Hockett, 1960); es decir, la distancia perceptiva del hablante con respecto a su propio comportamiento verbal (Werner & Kaplan, 1978). Esta autoconciencia del lenguaje nos permite monitorear nuestros propios comportamiento…
Theoretical and Observational Aspects in Metric-Affine Gravity
2021
En esta tesis se tratan varios aspectos teóricos y fenomenológicos de las teorías de gravedad métrico-afin. En la introducción se presentan las herramientas necesarias para comprender el marco y entender algunas sutilezas relacionadas con la prescripción de acoplamiento mínimo entre geometría y materia en presencia de torsión y nometricidad. La parte central de la tesis está dedicada a estudiar la estructura de teorías de la gravedad basada en el tensor de Ricci (RBG), que serán de uso posterior para comprender las propiedades genéricas de las teorías métrico afines. Empezamos analizando la estructura de las ecuaciones de campo RBG y aspectos no triviales de su espacio de soluciones. Luego …
Measuring innovation in tourism from the Schumpeterian and the dynamic-capabilities perspectives
2012
This paper offers a diagnosis of the “state of the issue” regarding the measurement of innovation in the tourism industry at the company level, and some recommendations for overcoming identified problems. The study addresses two central issues: how existing secondary databases of innovative activity define the boundaries of the tourism industry, and the degree to which these databases reflect the particular characteristics of this economic activity. It is concluded that these analyses present serious biases and anomalies hindering the understanding of the situation at the micro level and complicating the issue of international comparability, and the analyses do not capture the internal hete…
ATTRIBUTION STYLE AND INTERNAL STATE LEXICON: A COMPARISON BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS WITH INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY AND TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT
2012
Current theories of intellectual disabilities underlie an approach centred on a more complete description of the development, known as “the whole child approach”, in which emphasis is placed on the reciprocal relationships between the cognitive and motivational dimensions which characterise development. In particular, subjects with intellectual disabilities, who have experienced repeated failures, may develop an attribution profile characterised by a bias towards primarily external causes. However the consideration of internal causes, such as effort and ability, requires the involvement of higher metacognitive and metalinguistic levels. Consequently, attribution to effort requires an awaren…
Missense variants in DPYSL5 cause a neurodevelopmental disorder with corpus callosum agenesis and cerebellar abnormalities
2021
International audience; The collapsin response mediator protein (CRMP) family proteins are intracellular mediators of neurotrophic factors regulating neurite structure/spine formation and are essential for dendrite patterning and directional axonal pathfinding during brain developmental processes. Among this family, CRMP5/DPYSL5 plays a significant role in neuronal migration, axonal guidance, dendrite outgrowth, and synapse formation by interacting with microtubules. Here, we report the identification of missense mutations in DPYSL5 in nine individuals with brain malformations, including corpus callosum agenesis and/or posterior fossa abnormalities, associated with variable degrees of intel…
Reading and math abilities of Finnish school beginners born very preterm or with very low birth weight
2017
Reading and math skills of preterm born (birth weight 1500 g or gestational age:532 weeks) children and full term (FT) children were compared during the first weeks of grade 1. The participants were 194 preterm born and 175 FT children born between 2001 and 2006. There were more precocious readers among FT than among preterm students, but even the latter performed close to the national norm. FT and preterm group differences among non-readers were minor with only rapid naming showing a robust difference. Math performance showed a stable difference in favor of FT students and the difference was sustained in the full-scale IQcontrol. Major brain pathology increased the likelihood of poor schol…
Single cigar-shaped nanopores functionalized with amphoteric amino acid chains: experimental and theoretical characterization.
2012
We present an experimental and theoretical characterization of single cigar-shaped nanopores with pH-responsive carboxylic acid and lysine chains functionalized on the pore surface. The nanopore characterization includes (i) optical images of the nanostructure obtained by FESEM; (ii) different chemical procedures for the nanopore preparation (etching time and functionalizations; pH and electrolyte concentration of the external solution) allowing externally tunable nanopore responses monitored by the current-voltage (I-V) curves; and (iii) transport simulations obtained with a multilayer nanopore model. We show that a single, approximately symmetric nanopore can be operated as a reconfigurab…
Latvia. Human Development Report 2004/2005: Human Capability in the Regions
2005
The purpose of the publication is to look at human development as the expansion of opportunities for human activities and capability. So far, the Human Development Reports of Latvia have analysed important components of this process (human security, partnership among the individual, the state and the private sector, and social cohesion) and have researched social processes (globalisation, social integration during a transition period, etc.) that significantly affect human development. This Report assesses the progress of human development in the regions.
Plasmon mass scale in two dimensional classical nonequilibrium gauge theory
2018
We study the plasmon mass scale in weakly coupled strongly interacting nonabelian gauge theory in a two dimensional configuration that mimics the boost invariant initial color fields in a heavy ion collision. We numerically measure the plasmon mass scale using three different methods: a Hard Thermal Loop (HTL) expression involving the quasiparticle spectrum constructed from Coulomb gauge field correlators, an effective dispersion relation and the measurement of oscillations between electric and magnetic energies after introducing a spatially uniform perturbation to the electric field. We find that the hard thermal loop expression and the uniform electric field measurement are in rough agree…
