ICT demand behaviour: An international comparison
2009
This study aims to provide some empirical explanations for the gaps in ICT diffusion between industrialized countries, especially European countries vis-à-vis the United States. The panel data cover eleven OECD countries: Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States. These annual macroeconomic data span the 1981-2005 period.The analysis provides some original results: (i) the impact on ICT diffusion of the level of education and market rigidities has changed over time. The correlation of ICT diffusion, positive with the level of education and negative with market rigidities, increased over time (in absolute terms)…
Estructura Competencial y de utilización de las TIC y su relación con las variables personales y contextuales clave en el profesorado no universitario
2022
La Sociedad del Conocimiento supone nuevas competencias que ha de fomentar el sistema educativo. El profesorado, como actor principal de la integración de las TIC en el aula, ha de adquirir y dominar las Competencias TIC de forma que prepare al alumnado en la cultura digital. El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en determinar la dimensionalidad y la relación estructural de las competencias TIC (tecnológicas, pedagógicas y éticas) que posee el profesorado de Educación Primaria y Educación Secundaria de la Comunidad Valenciana, junto con la incidencia de los factores personales y contextuales sobre tal estructura. Se ha empleado un diseño correlacional, con una muestra compuesta por 1.002 pro…
Returns To Education During And After The Economic Crisis: Evidence From Latvia 2006–2012
2017
We employ EU-SILC micro data for Latvia to study how returns to education changed during the economic crisis of 2008–2009 and afterwards. We found that returns to education increased significantly during the crisis and decreased slightly during the subsequent economic recovery. The counter-cyclical effect was evident in nearly all population groups. After the crisis, education became more associated than before with a longer working week and a higher employment probability. Furthermore, we show that returns to education in Latvia are generally higher in the capital city and its suburbs than outside the capital city region, as well as for citizens of Latvia than for resident non-citizens and…
Programa de Rehabilitación Cardiaca coordinado por Enfermería: resultados de Euroaction en España
2015
Las enfermedades cardiovasculares (ECV) siguen siendo la causa principal de muerte entre los europeos y en todo el mundo. Los factores que contribuyen a la carga de las enfermedades cardiovasculares y las enfermedades crónicas relacionadas tiene que ver con el estilo de vida, y es fundamental entender que este concepto generalmente se basa en los patrones de comportamiento a lo largo de la vida. Los programas de RHBC son una herramienta preventiva, que han demostrado revertir las prácticas poco saludables, reemplazar los factores de riesgo por comportamientos sanos y se han implementado con éxito en una variedad de entornos, en pacientes con enfermedad coronaria y en la población general, t…
Physical activity as a protective factor for dementia and Alzheimer’s disease: systematic review, meta-analysis and quality assessment of cohort and …
2022
ObjectivePhysical activity (PA) is associated with a decreased incidence of dementia, but much of the evidence comes from short follow-ups prone to reverse causation. This meta-analysis investigates the effect of study length on the association.DesignA systematic review and meta-analysis. Pooled effect sizes, dose–response analysis and funnel plots were used to synthesise the results.Data sourcesCINAHL (last search 19 October 2021), PsycInfo, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science (21 October 2021) and SPORTDiscus (26 October 2021).Eligibility criteriaStudies of adults with a prospective follow-up of at least 1 year, a valid cognitive measure or cohort in mid-life at baseline and an estimate of the…
An Overview of Asthma and COVID-19: Protective Factors Against SARS-COV-2 in Pediatric Patients.
2021
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus SARS-COV-2. Aberrant innate immunity response and cytokine storm are responsible for the syndrome. Apparently, in asthmatic patients, the inadequate antiviral immune response and the tendency for asthma exacerbation evoked by common respiratory viruses could explain increased susceptibility to SARS-COV-2 infection. However, asthma has not been suggested to be a risk factor in COVID-19 patients. Therefore, in asthmatic patients some potential protective mechanisms against SARS-COV-2 have been hypothesized, like type 2 immune response, number of eosinophils, overproduct…
Centrality Dependence of the Charged-Particle Multiplicity Density at Midrapidity in Pb-Pb Collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV
2016
The pseudorapidity density of charged particles, dNch=dη, at midrapidity in Pb-Pb collisions has been measured at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of √sNN=5.02 TeV. For the 5% most central collisions, we measure a value of 1943±54. The rise in dNch=dη as a function of √sNN is steeper than that observed in proton-proton collisions and follows the trend established by measurements at lower energy. The increase of dNch=dη as a function of the average number of participant nucleons, hNparti, calculated in a Glauber model, is compared with the previous measurement at √sNN=2.76 TeV. A constant factor of about 1.2 describes the increase in dNch=dη from √sNN=2,76 to 5.02 TeV for all central…
Proton shape fluctuation and its relation to DIS
2018
We review the recent progress in extracting the proton fluctuating substructure by studying exclusive processes at HERA, and the applications of these developments in the interpretation of the LHC heavy ion data. The possibilities to extract the proton geometry directly from the LHC high-multiplicity proton-nucleus and proton-proton collision data is also discussed. peerReviewed
Duelo: Factores de riesgo de duelo complicado en cuidados paliativos
2015
Duelo:Factores de riesgo de duelo complicado en cuidados paliativos Antecedentes Tradicionalmente, los factores de riesgo de duelo complicado no han sido evaluados en el ámbito de los cuidados paliativos, y aún menos, estudiados todos los factores de riesgo simultáneamente. Un objetivo principal podría ser el diagnóstico temprano de riesgo de duelo complicado y, de esta manera, evitar a los cuidadores primarios la cronificación de sus trastornos físicos y psicológicos, aún más, la muerte de una persona significativamente relevante es un fuerte predictor de mortalidad (Christakis & Allison, 2007; Schmidpeter, 2015). Prigerson & Jacobs (2001) propusieron el segundo mes después del fallecimien…
Psicothema
2011
Resumen tomado de la publicación Es fundamental un mayor conocimiento del temperamento infantil puesto que puede predecir el desarrollo de psicopatología posterior. Los cuestionarios adaptados a población infantil española cubren un rango de edad limitado. La escala más utilizada para estudios de genética del temperamento infantil es la Emotionality Activity and Sociability Temperament Survey (EAS). El principal objetivo de este estudio es realizar la versión española del EAS y comprobar sus propiedades psicométricas. Se administró la versión española del cuestionario a una muestra de 229 madres y sus hijos a los 18 y 42 meses. Se ha encontrado una fiabilidad comparable a la obtenida en pob…
