Acute exposure to 50ppm toluene does not increase sleepiness
2005
Abstract The Pupillographic Sleepiness Test (PST) is a new neurophysiological method to assess sleepiness. In an exposure study to a constant exposure level of 50 ppm toluene on 20 healthy men, our aim was to find out, if increased sleepiness could be seen with PST. PST was performed before and after 4.5 h of exposure. General complaints were assessed with the Swedish Performance Evaluation System (SPES) self-assessment questionnaire, once before and during exposure. Values obtained during exposure were related to pre-exposure values. Parametric cross-over analysis of logarithmic Pupillary Unrest Index (PUI) values did not show an effect of toluene exposure. In a nonparametric cross-over an…
La gestione dei conflitti: un’analisi descrittiva dai Rapporti di Autovalutazione delle scuole della Provincia di Palermo
2019
Il presente contributo intende promuovere una riflessione sul tema della gestione dei conflitti in ambito scolastico a partire da un’analisi descrittiva dei Rapporti di Autovalutazione delle scuole del I ciclo della Provincia di Palermo riguardanti l’anno scolastico 2017/18. La rilevazione dei dati è avvenuta attraverso il portale del MIUR “Scuola in Chiaro”. In particolare, sono stati presi in considerazione gli indicatori appartenenti alla dimensione relazionale (3.2.f ) dell’area “Ambiente di apprendimento” della sezione “Processi” del RAV oltre agli eventuali indicatori elaborati dalla scuola e ai punti di forza e di debolezza elaborati sulla base di alcune domande stimolo fornite. L’an…
Defect Detection in Additively Manufactured Components: Laser Ultrasound and Laser Thermography Comparison
2018
Despite continuous technological advances in additive manufacturing, the lack of non-destructive inspection techniques during the manufacturing process is a limit for the industrial breakthroughs. Additive manufacturing is mainly used in industrial sectors where the zero defect target is crucial. The inclusion of the integrity assessment into the additive manufacturing process would allow corrective actions to be performed before the component is completed. To this end, the development of in-process monitoring and processing techniques is of great interest.This work proposes and compares two remote non-destructive inspection techniques: laser ultrasound and laser thermography. The two techn…
Metodología innovadora en la universidad: sus efectos sobre los procesos de aprendizaje de los estudiantes universitarios
2015
Se pretendía evaluar el impacto de metodología centrada en el aprendizaje sobre las estrategias de aprendizaje y los enfoques de aprendizaje de un grupo de alumnos de Química, de 1º curso de Ingeniería, de la Universitat Politécnica de Valencia. Se utilizó un diseño preexperimental, con medidas de pretest y postest, tomadas mediante el cuestionario CEVEAPEU y el CPE. La muestra estaba constituida por 20 alumnos. Los métodos docentes utilizados integraban metodología expositiva, preguntas, resolución de problemas, elaboración de una monografía, exposiciones orales, prácticas de laboratorio, trabajo en grupo, tutorías en el aula y un sistema de evaluación que hacía uso de procedimientos forma…
Efectos de la estimulación sensorial en la conducta adaptativa del alumnado con TEA: un estudio de caso
2019
INTRODUCCIÓN: Las personas con trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) presentan habitualmente dificultades para procesar e integrar la estimulación sensorial de su entorno. Estas dificultades pueden verse reducidas con la intervención adecuada, especialmente en edades tempranas. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar los efectos que produce un programa de estimulación sensorial sobre la conducta y la inclusión educativa de un niño con TEA de educación primaria. MÉTODO: Se presenta un estudio de caso con un participante de 7 años con diagnóstico de TEA. La intervención ha constado de 52 sesiones de estimulación sensorial diseñada de acuerdo al perfil sensorial del participante. La efectividad …
The UNIVECS Evaluation System in Mexican Universities: Discussion About Social Cohesion with Teachers and Students
2021
The main objective of the UNIVECS (Study conducted as part of the Project: UNIVECS “Validating an evaluation system of university degrees based on a Social Cohesion model” (Ref. EDU2016-78065R), financed by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, and supported by EU FEDER funds.) project is to know the extent to which the institution moves towards social cohesion as a benchmark to evaluate university careers, and to observe which contributions are made in relation to the study object. The objective of the study that we present, conducted in Mexican universities, is to provide evidence for validating the Evaluation Model and its adaptation in Mexico (“Cultural Validation of the …
A multi-criteria evaluation system for arable land resource assessment
2020
This study proposed a multi-criteria evaluation system for arable land resources by combining the soil integrated fertility index (IFI) with a soil cleanliness index (based on heavy metals and metalloid content). A total of 16 typical arable land units in Chongming District, China, were evaluated using the proposed evaluation system based on 104 collected soil samples in 16 towns. The comprehensive soil evaluation scores of arable lands in 16 towns were in the range of 90.7 to 99.2 with a mean of 96.2, indicating that the arable land in all 16 towns was at the level of excellent (≥ 90.0). Lower cleanliness indices had a significant impact on the final evaluation score. In comparison with si…

Increased cortical curvature reflects white matter atrophy in individual patients with early multiple sclerosis
2014
Objective White matter atrophy occurs independently of lesions in multiple sclerosis. In contrast to lesion detection, the quantitative assessment of white matter atrophy in individual patients has been regarded as a major challenge. We therefore tested the hypothesis that white matter atrophy (WMA) is present at the very beginning of multiple sclerosis (MS) and in virtually each individual patient. To find a new sensitive and robust marker for WMA we investigated the relationship between cortical surface area, white matter volume (WMV), and whole-brain-surface-averaged rectified cortical extrinsic curvature. Based on geometrical considerations we hypothesized that cortical curvature increa…
Assessment of haemophilic arthropathy through balance analysis: a promising tool
2019
[EN] The purpose of this study was to develop a tool able to distinguish between subjects who have haemophilic arthropathy in lower limbs and those who do not by analyzing the centre of pressure displacement. The second objective was to assess the possible different responses of haemophiliacs and healthy subjects by creating a classifier that could distinguish between both groups. Fiftyfour haemophilic patients (28 with and 26 without arthropathy) and 23 healthy subjects took part voluntarily in the study. A force plate was used to measure postural stability. A total of 276 centre of pressure displacement parameters were calculated under different conditions: unipedal/bipedal balance with e…
