In response to the global novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, many countries around the world adopted social isolation measures to contain the spread of the virus.1 For children and adolescents, limitations in faceto-face activities and interactions with their traditional peer groups has been a frustrating experience.

The influence of serotonin- and other genes on impulsive behavioral aggression and cognitive impulsivity in children with attention-deficit/hyperacti…

2008

Contains fulltext : 70708.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access) ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Low serotonergic (5-HT) activity correlates with increased impulsive-aggressive behavior, while the opposite association may apply to cognitive impulsiveness. Both types of impulsivity are associated with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and genes of functional significance for the 5-HT system are implicated in this disorder. Here we demonstrate the separation of aggressive and cognitive components of impulsivity from symptom ratings and test their association with 5-HT and functionally related genes using a family-based association test (FBAT-PC). METHODS: Our sample consisted of 1180 o…

2015

En España existen estudios que demuestran que prácticas como el Botellón (concentración intermitente de de jóvenes en espacios abiertos con el objetivo principal de consumir alcohol, tras adquirir previamente la bebida en establecimientos) potencian un nuevo patrón de consumo de alcohol sobre todo en población juvenil (Cortés et al., 2007, 2008, 2010).

2021

In recent years, immigration of minors has increased, which means that administrations establish a differentiated treatment for this sector of immigration due to the fact that they are minors; There are many aspects to take into account in these cases, including verifying the minority age, a fact that is more complicated when it comes to adolescents. This is what is analyzed by the Judgment of the Provincial Court of Barcelona, of January 24, 2020, which confirms the Resolution of the General Directorate of Attention to Children and Adolescents, which agreed to the closure of the homelessness file and the admission of the plaintiff in a Protection Center until the verification of their pers…

2015

En aquest vertiginós món de canvis que vivim, les tecnologies de la comunicació estan obrint nous horitzons en diversos àmbits de la vida i també, de manera especial, en el camp educatiu. La pedagogia, i més concretament la didàctica, ara té el repte de donar cos i entitat a pràctiques educatives que, a partir d’eines d’aprenentatge com la publicitat institucional, puguen facilitar la possibilitat de transmetre coneixement a l’alumnat que hui acudeix a les aules. En la capacitat comunicativa del discurs publicitari, conformat tant pels codis verbals com pels no verbals, rau aquesta possibilitat que el saber té de poder passar dels currículums escolars cap a la ment de l’alumnat. La intenció…
