Juegos y gamificación en las aulas de música de educación primaria.
2020
espanolEn la ultima decada se refuerza la tendencia de buscar herramientas innovadoras y motivadoras que ayuden a optimizar el proceso de adquisicion de aprendizajes. En esta linea, tras analizar recientes publicaciones y busquedas en bases de datos, se senalan los juegos y la gamificacion como herramientas educativas de apogeo en la actualidad. Desde un paradigma positivista, la pretension del estudio es contrastar estos resultados con la realidad educativa en la que viven dichas estrategias dentro del aula de musica de educacion primaria, tomando como fuente de analisis las percepciones y experiencias de los docentes que estan en activo en l’Horta Oest de Valencia. Para ello, se valora cu…
Software Startup ESSENCE : How Should Software Startups Work?
2020
Software startups need to work in a systematic fashion just like mature organizations. However, existing software engineering methods and practices are not aimed at software startups. They do not account for the business aspect of startups and may not be well suited for software startups in general. The Lean Startup Methodology on the other hand contains some useful practices for software startups but is nonetheless impractical, offering little in the way of telling you what to do. Software startups are thus required to tailor their own method. Currently, many software startups simply work ad hoc or use various Agile methods and practices. In terms of Agile methods and practices, little con…
Wellness Technology Use in Everyday Life: A Diary Study
2017
Digital wellness technologies and their use have become exceedingly popular. More and more people are using them in their everyday lives. Respectively, the need to understand their users and usage has increased. This study aims to deepen the understanding of how people use and perceive wellness technologies in their everyday lives. Empirically, the study is based on diaries collected from 18 participants over a six-week period, which are analysed using thematic analysis. The results show that the use of wellness technologies can positively influence wellness motivation. Further, they can help people to learn more about their own wellness related behaviour and its effects (learning-effect). …
Generalized frame operator, lower semiframes, and sequences of translates
2023
Given an arbitrary sequence of elements $\xi =\lbrace \xi _n\rbrace _{n\in \mathbb {N}}$ of a Hilbert space $(\mathcal {H},\langle \cdot ,\cdot \rangle )$, the operator $T_\xi$ is defined as the operator associated to the sesquilinear form $\Omega _\xi (f,g)=\sum _{n\in \mathbb {N}} \langle f , \xi _n\rangle \langle \xi _n , g\rangle$, for $f,g\in \lbrace h\in \mathcal {H}: \sum _{n\in \mathbb {N}}|\langle h , \xi _n\rangle |<^>2<\infty \rbrace$. This operator is in general different from the classical frame operator but possesses some remarkable properties. For instance, $T_\xi$ is always self-adjoint with regard to a particular space, unconditionally defined, and, when xi is a lo…
Experimental macroeconomics: a role-playing experience among bachelor students
2020
This current innovative education project has the main goal of introducing students to experimental economics to help them better understand complex macroeconomic concepts. For this purpose, it is used an online experimental platform to develop a role-playing dynamic with which students become real economic agents. This gamified technique allows students to interact with each other in the goods and production factors markets and, thus, generate a circular flow studied as one of the main macroeconomic principles. The online platform is conceived as a two-sided website: on one hand, students are assigned a role and asked to make decisions; and, on the other, professors can instantaneously acc…

Expressional down-regulation of neuronal-type nitric oxide synthase I by glucocorticoids in N1E-115 neuroblastoma cells.
1998
Neuronal-type nitric oxide synthase (NOS I) is involved in ischemia-induced brain damage, and glucocorticoids have been reported to protect from brain damage. This prompted us to investigate if the activity or expression of NOS I was influenced by glucocorticoids. We used the murine neuroblastoma cell line N1E-115 as our experimental model. Short-term incubation (30 min) of the N1E-115 cells with dexamethasone (10 nM to 1 microM) or hydrocortisone (100 nM to 10 microM) did not change the enzymatic activity of NOS I. However, the glucocorticoids inhibited NOS I mRNA expression in a concentration-dependent fashion (down to 53.3 +/- 2. 5% of control). In time-course experiments with 100 nM dex…
Vascular Decompression of Trigeminal and Facial Nerves in the Posterior Fossa under Endoscope-Assisted Keyhole Conditions
2008
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the use and safety of the endoscope as an adjunct during trigeminal and facial nerve decompression procedures performed under keyhole conditions in the posterior fossa. Method: We performed 67 surgeries in 65 patients with symptomatic trigeminal and facial nerve compression syndromes. The diagnosis was made mainly on the basis of clinical history, examination, and magnetic resonance imaging scans. Surgery was performed in all cases under endoscope-assisted keyhole conditions. The follow-up was 1 week postoperatively, 6 months, and then yearly up to 7 years. All 34 patients with trigeminal neuralgia received preoperative medication treatment …
Intraoperative wound instillation of ropivacaine extraperitoneally subfascially fails to provide analgesia after remifentanil–isoflurane for abdomina…
2005
Summary Background Intraoperative local anaesthetic wound instillation has been shown previously to provide analgesia after abdominal surgery. This pain relief may be important, if remifentanil is used for general anaesthesia, because the rapid offset of action may mean that there is not enough analgesia at the end of surgery and in the recovery period. The aim of this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind study was to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of preventative wound instillation of ropivacaine after abdominal hysterectomy (AH). We hypothesized that this approach will significantly reduce postoperative morphine consumption. Patients and methods After ethics approval, 40 patients…
Therapeutic considerations in cerebellopontine angle lipomas inducing hemifacial spasm.
2000
Lipoma is a very rare tumour at the cerebellopontine angle. We report a case of incomplete hemifacial spasm, associated with a lipoma involving and compressing both facial and acoustic nerves at their origin in the brainstem. The patient was treated with medical therapy (botulinum toxin A) and surgery. We present a review of the last ten years of the literature, with particular regard to management.
