Métodos centrados en el aprendizaje en Fisioterapia. Capacidades del alumno y contexto de aprendizaje
2017
[EN] In this work we wanted to assess the effects of the use of learning-centered methods on various capabilities/abilities of some students and on their perception of the learning environment developed by their professors. The sample consisted of 231 third-year students from the University of Valencia. They belonged to three groups and they were studying the subject of Physiotherapy Cardio circulatory in the degree of Physiotherapy. In order to verify the objective and the hypotheses set out in the research we used a quasi-experimental sequential cohort design with non-equivalent control group, by using a posttest in the control group and a pretest and a posttest in the experimental group.…
Apgrieztā mācību metode skolēnu angļu valodas runāšanas prasmju pilnveidei 8. klasē
2019
Runāšana ir viena no svarīgākām prasmēm, kas ir jāattīsta, angļu valodas, ka svešvalodas, mācīšanās laikā. Bieži, laika ierobežojuma dēļ, klasē skolēniem ir maz iespēju pielietot savas mutvārdu saziņas prasmes. Turklāt, daži skolēnu nejutās pietiekoši pašpārliecināti, lai runātu angļu valodā stundu laikā. Diplomdarba mērķis bija izpētīt, vai apgrieztā mācības metode var sekmēt skolēnu angļu valodas runāšanas prasmju pilnveidei. Par pētniecības metodi tika izvēlēta gadījuma izpētē. Pētījuma rezultāti norāda, ka apgrieztās mācības metode var labvēlīgi ietekmēt skolēnu runāšanas prasmju attīstību. Studenti demonstrēja labākos rezultātus, salīdzinoši ar tradicionālo stundu, un arī izteica pozit…
A deep learning segmentation approach to calories and weight estimation of food images
2019
Master's thesis Information- and communication technology IKT590 - University of Agder 2019 Today’s generation is very aware of what they are eating and the amountof calories in their food. Eating too many calories can lead to increasedweight, which has become a big health issue. A study from 2016 states thatmore than 1,9 billion adults are overweight where almost one third of theseare obese. Statistics from Norway show that 1 of 4 men and 1 of 5 womenare obese.Artificial Intelligence in general and deep learning in particular can be usedto help understand the content of eaten food. In this master thesis, wepropose a network to estimate the weight of food from a single image. Thisis done in…
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL IMPROVES LEARNING AND MEMORY IN SAMP8 MICE
2011
Abstract. Polyphenols are potent antioxidants found in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO); antioxidants have been shown to reverse age- and disease-related learning and memory deficits. We examined the effects of EVOO on learning and memory in SAMP8 mice, an age-related learning/memory impairment model associated with increased amyloid- protein and brain oxidative damage. We administered EVOO, coconut oil, or butter to 11 month old SAMP8 mice for 6 weeks. Mice were tested in T-maze foot shock avoidance and one-trial novel object recognition with a 24 h delay. Mice which received EVOO had improved acquisition in the T-maze and spent more time with the novel object in one-trial novel object recogni…
A Design-Oriented Analysis of Multimodality in English as a Foreign Language
2018
This empirical article investigates multimodality in English as a foreign language, both as seen in the use of multimodal texts as artefacts and pedagogical texts for learning, and through an analysis of the multimodal learning designs. We present observations from a year 10 classroom in Norway that worked with the novel The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian (Alexie, 2007). We explore a four-week teaching sequence, asking how different modes were involved when the educator designed literacy events around the novel, and how multimodality is present in the students’ meaning making. Our aim is to make explicit and discuss some of the silent literacy practices in English teaching at l…
Going into the real world : language learners' views on how foreign language teaching prepares them to use language in authentic situations
2014
Englannin kieli nähdään oikeutetusti maailmankielenä, sillä se on vakiinnuttanut asemansa kansainvälisen kommunikaation välineenä. Kielenkäyttö ja kommunikatiivisuus ovat olleet teoriassa vieraiden kielten opetuksen tärkeimpiä tavoitteita jo pitkään. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoitus oli tarkastella kielenoppijoiden näkemyksiä siitä, miten englannin kielen opetus suomalaisessa peruskoulussa valmistaa oppijoita käyttämään kieltä autenttisissa kielenkäyttötilanteissa peruskoulun jälkeen. Tarkoituksena oli myös selvittää, mitkä opetuksen osa-alueet lisäävät oppijoiden kykyä käyttää kieltä. Lisäksi tutkimus pyrki selvittämään, millaisia kielenkäyttötilanteita oppijat ovat kokeneet. Tutkimuksen tavoit…

Science and law in the time of cholera: the mystery of the biscuits in Torroja (1865)
2018
By focussing on a case of collective poisoning in 1865, four features of forensic cultures are analysed: technologies for detection, authorized voices, regulations in action and the predominant social anxieties. Local newspapers and archival documents kept in the medical academies of Barcelona and Madrid are analysed. The analysis shows the tensions between various types of proof employed in legal medicine and the ambiguities between epidemic diseases and poisoning accidents. In the first section, I review the fears caused by the cholera epidemic in 1865, which was the first explanation of the accident. The changes of popular perception are also discussed by analysing contemporary newspaper…
Digital solutions transform the forest-based bioeconomy into a digital platform industry : a suggestion for a disruptive business model in the digita…
2018
With the notion that the transformation of the forest-based bioeconomy in recent years provides insightful suggestions not only on the bioeconomy, but on business innovation, this paper conducts an empirical analysis of the transformation and attempts to extract suggestions for a digital-solution-driven, disruptive business model in the digital economy. Notwithstanding the potential broad cross-sectoral benefits, the natural environment, locality constraints, and incessant challenge of distance have impeded the balanced development of the bioeconomy. However, driven by digital solutions, the bioeconomy has taken big steps forward in recent years. Digitalization has enabled real-time, end-to…
Competenza digitale dei docenti e disabilità. Formazione su Episodi di Apprendimento Situato (EAS) per l'innovazione didattica.
2018
Il percorso di ricerca intrapreso mi ha permesso di strutturare una serie di riflessioni, già avviate all’interno di percorsi di studio universitari precedenti, relativamente all’evidente alta inclusività propria delle Tecnologie dell’informazione e della Comunicazione (TIC) a supporto di alunni con Bisogni Educativi Speciali (BES). A partire dall’assunto che l’innovazione digitale della didattica passi necessariamente dalla consapevole orchestrazione dei diversi strumenti tecnologici e che l’innovazione didattica preceda quella digitale, si è reputato doveroso indagare relativamente alle modalità di sviluppo e di miglioramento delle competenze digitali dei docenti, soprattutto, per quanti …
