La colaboración científica: principales líneas de investigación y retos de futuro

2014

The construction of knowledge is a collaborative process that has seen a dramatic growth over recent decades, since almost all research activities now involve increasing numbers of researchers, institutions, disciplines and countries. The present study provides a bibliographic review of the literature on research collaboration and identifies pioneering work on the topic, the types of studies undertaken and the variables analyzed. Several approaches are discussed: the “classical” approach, based on bibliometric indicators, which has taken on a new dimension with Social Network Analysis; and quantitative and qualitative approaches, which attempt to investigate the motivations and dynamics of …

Processi resilienti e controversie culturali nel care leaving

2022

The work moves in the field of applied anthropology and addresses the issue of the resilience of care leavers: young people who, after a long stay within residential structures, are preparing to enter society at the age of eighteen. Considering that resilient processes are not without pitfalls and threats, some conceptual axioms are proposed that are useful for considering the multi-dimensionality and cultural relativity that revolve around the resilient process within residential communities. All this will take place within a socio-cultural research and intervention perspective based on participatory and bottom-up approaches aimed at encouraging negotiation practices and settings between m…

Pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy in implementing inclusive practices and resilience in Finland

2021

This study aims to explore Finnish pre-service teachers' self-efficacy in implementing inclusive education and their resilience. Survey data were collected from 105 pre-service teachers studying in a teacher education programme in one university in Finland. The relationships between pre-service teachers' self-efficacy in implementing inclusive practices, their perceived resilience, and background variables were examined using structural equation modelling. The results confirmed a three-factor structure for self-efficacy in implementing inclusive practices among the pre-service teachers. In addition, pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy was the strongest variable that related to their resilie…

Estudiar la correlación entre valores de tomografía de coherencia óptica (OCT, Optical Coherence Tomography) peripapilar y macular con volumetrías cerebrales y espinales determinadas a partir de imágenes de resonancia magnética (RM), teniendo en cuenta el tipo de esclerosis múltiple (EM) y el antecedente de neuritis óptica (NO). Formular y validar modelos matemáticos para la predicción de la discromatopsia y de la discapacidad a partir de marcadores clínicos y paraclínicos. MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Estudio observacional, analítico y transversal de 92 pacientes de la Unidad Mixta de EM y Neurorregeneración del Hospital Universitario y Politécnico La Fe de Valencia. De cada paciente se recogieron l…

Heart rate and other risk factors in outpatients with stable coronary artery disease in Latvia

2011

Heart rate and other risk factors in outpatients with stable coronary artery disease in Latvia The aim of the study was to characterise coronary artery disease (CAD) outpatients in Latvia by risk factors (RF) including heart rate (HR), physical examination data, clinical data and treatment. Twelve practitioners had each examined and questioned 6 to 12 patients with established CAD (n = 120). The most frequent cardiovascular (CV) RF and co-morbidity were dyslipidemia (94.2%) and hypertension (78.3%), respectively. Prevalence of increased resting HR (≥70 bpm) was 35.9% and 33.6%, when measured by pulse palpation and electrocardiography, respectively. Regarding other RFs, prevalence of treated…

Novel VAMPIRE algorithms for quantitative analysis of the retinal vasculature

2013

This paper summarizes three recent, novel algorithms developed within VAMPIRE, namely optic disc and macula detection, arteryvein classification, and enhancement of binary vessel masks, and their performance assessment. VAMPIRE is an international collaboration growing a suite of software tools to allow efficient quantification of morphological properties of the retinal vasculature in large collections of fundus camera images. VAMPIRE measurements are currently mostly used in biomarker research, i.e., investigating associations between the morphology of the retinal vasculature and a number of clinical and cognitive conditions.

Retoriche social. Nuove politiche della vita quotidiana

2018

Viviamo immersi in fiumi di parole. La nostra vita quotidiana si è velocemente trasformata nel suo riflesso comunicativo, costituita com’è dalla necessità di dire, dichiarare, raccontare ogni suo anfratto, testualizzandolo sui social network. Questa ansia (ma sarebbe più corretto chiamarla ingiunzione) di essere connessi ha come conseguenza non secondaria quella di allargare lo spettro del politico. Ogni giorno, distribuendo i nostri like in giro per la rete, non facciamo altro che circostanziare, puntualizzare, dire e ridire la nostra identità in relazione a quella degli altri, affiliandola, più o meno consapevolmente, a collettivi eterogenei, che si formano e si riconoscono, funzionano su…
