Identification of Explanatory Variables in Possession of the Ball in High-Performance Women’s Football
2021
[Abstrac] Women’s football is a phenomenon that is experiencing an unstoppable increase in recent years. The objective of this study was to analyze how ball possessions are performed in highperformance women’s football. For this, the 52 matches played by all the national teams participating in the Women’s World Cup 2015 were analyzed. A total of 3740 ball possessions were examined. Using the “move outcome” variable as a reference criterion, a statistically significant relationship was found between possessions that ended in success and possessions that have failed. Specifically, the successful possessions were those that were made in the offensive zone, with a clear intention to progress to…
Registered nurses' clinical reasoning in home healthcare clinical practice: A think-aloud study with protocol analysis.
2016
Abstract Background The home healthcare context can be unpredictable and complex, and requires registered nurses with a high level of clinical reasoning skills and professional autonomy. Thus, additional knowledge about registered nurses' clinical reasoning performance during patient home care is required. Objectives The aim of this study is to describe the cognitive processes and thinking strategies used by recently graduated registered nurses while caring for patients in home healthcare clinical practice. Design An exploratory qualitative think-aloud design with protocol analysis was used. Settings Home healthcare visits to patients with stroke, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary…
Towards a Holistic Methodology in Sustainable Retrofitting: Theory, Implementation and Application
2017
Sustainability paradigm foresees a balance of energy production and consumption with no, or minimal, negative impact on environment (within the environmental tolerance limits). It gives an opportunity to a country to employ its potentiality of the social and economic activities. An overview of recent researches about building renovation context demonstrates the lack of an appropriate methodology and decision support framework -by compounding the typical challenges of sustainable retrofitting from theory to implement stages- that takes into account the retrofitting projects throughout more comprehensive insights and perspectives. It calls, therefore, for a deep building renovation approach. …
Audiovisual constructs of Paralympic Games : scalarity and camera angle
2014
This research will analyze the variables differentiating between the audiovisual television of the XIII edition of the Paralympic Games and the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, held in Beijing from the 7th of September to the 17th, 2008. This study will serve as a methodological basis for similar future research. By means of a qualitative and quantitative methodology, this study also focuses on determining if TV representations of Paralympic sportspersons favour their social integration or if, on the contrary, lead to higher stigmatization.
Simultaneous detection of hazardous skin whitening agents in Indian cosmetic products using a green chromatographic technique
2021
The present work mainly highlights the simultaneous detection of four skin whitening agents i.e. hydroquinone (HQ), resorcinol (RS), catechol (CC) and 3,3′-dichlorobenzidine (DCB) in facial creams and body lotion. Among these, the first three are positional isomers of dihydroxybenzene so simultaneous separation is difficult with the conventional reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic technique (RP-HPLC). The selected skin whitening agents were detected in facial cream and body lotion using micellar liquid chromatography coupled to a photodiode array detector (MLC-PDA). In the present study, optimization of the method was accomplished using response surface methodology (RSM) w…
Uso de materiales didácticos digitales en las aulas de Primaria
2019
El presente artículo se analizan las prácticas docentes en aulas de Educación Primaria en las que se emplean plataformas digitales comerciales o institucionales, así como otros materiales didácticos digitales. Se pretende dar respuesta, principalmente, a las siguientes preguntas: ¿Qué materiales didácticos digitales se utilizan en las aulas de Primaria? ¿Qué tipología de actividades se llevan a cabo con estos recursos? ¿Cómo se organiza el aula y qué metodologías didácticas se emplean? Para el desarrollo de este estudio, se toman como instrumentos de recogida de datos las entrevistas a docentes y las observaciones, de aula y de espacios, efectuadas en tres aulas de Canarias, Valencia y Gali…

An examination of teacher-student interactions in inclusive classrooms: teacher interviews and classroom observations
2013
Teacher–student interactions in 17 inclusive classrooms were examined using a mixed-methods approach that involved quantitative analysis of interactions recorded during classroom observations and follow-up interviews with seven general educators. Observational findings suggest that classrooms were organised along traditional lines with the vast majority of interactions provided by general educators to the whole class, followed by brief intervals of 1 : 1 interactions directed towards individual students, most frequently children with disabilities. Interview findings suggest that teachers were aware of the greater individual attention devoted to students with disabilities and described a num…
Adapting RRI public engagement indicators to the Spanish scientific and innovation context: a participatory methodology based on AHP and content anal…
2022
The paradigm proposed by Responsible Research and Innovation in the European Commission policy discourse identifies Public Engagement as a key area for exchange and dialogue among multiple actors following an inclusive and participatory process. Two definite set of indicators have already arisen at European level to monitor Public Engagement activities in the Science and Innovation realm. Our study aims to propose a deliberative participatory process, which involves selected stakeholders, for the adaptation of the European indicators to the specific Spanish scientific and innovation context. The methodological procedure is of exploratory nature and will be based in a combination of, on the …
Adjuncts for ovarian stimulation: when do we adopt “orphan indications” for approved drugs?
2009
Several drugs, shown to be safe for other uses, have proven to be highly effective adjuncts for ovarian stimulation. The authors evaluate these "orphan" indications and make recommendations so that more patients will benefit from their use.
