Incorporating Sustainability and Green Design Concepts into Engineering and Technology Curricula

2016

Human society is facing an uncertain future due to the present day unsustainable use of natural resources and the growing imbalance with our natural environment. Sustainability is an endeavour with uncertain outcomes requiring collaboration, teamwork, and abilities to work with respect and learn from other disciplines and professions, as well as with governments, local communities, political and civic organizations. The creation of a sustainable society is a complex and multi-stage endeavour that will dominate twenty first century.  Sustainability has four basic aspects: environment, technology, economy, and societal organization. Schools with undergraduate engineering or engineering techno…

Soft Skills Development Needs and Methods in Micro-Companies of ICT Sector

2018

Abstract This article calls for the inclusion of soft skills in the development of information and communication technology (ICT) sector's specialists in order to increase the competitiveness of ICT SME's. For a successful activity, ICT specialist needs two categories of skills: hard and soft skills. When talking about hard skills, we refer to direct technical knowledge. On the opposite, soft skills refer to communication, team work, creativity, problem solving and other personal skills. Experts agree that beside hard (technical) skills, soft (also called people-) skills are necessary. The research was based on an analysis of European level documents on skills needs, desk research in partne…

FISICA QUANTISTICA E FUNZIONI MENTALI SUPERIORI III

2010

Questo saggio riprende alcuni concetti di anatomia comparata e di fisiologia, sviluppati in una mia precedente ricerca dal titolo Termodinamica, campi quantici e funzioni mentali. Il fine è di chiarire alcuni punti controversi posti dall’analisi scientifica, in riguardo a teoremi di neuro anatomia e di neurofisiologia. Il filosofo Heiddegger H. riteneva che il pensiero umano non può affidarsi interamente all’indagine scientifica, traducendo in schemi ed in formule la vivente realtà della natura, sia fisica che biologica. La ricerca scientifica si basa su un sapere rigoroso e preciso, altamente dimostrativo che può competere con la matematica, ritenuta la scienza delle scienze. Nonostante ci…

FISICA QUANTISTICA E FUNZIONI CEREBRALI SUPERIORI (II)

2010

Data una semplice perturbazione, il processo lineare tende a rimanere leggermente alterato. Data la stessa perturbazione, un processo non lineare tende a tornare al suo punto di partenza. Huygens C. (fisico olandese del XVI sec.) inventò l’orologio a pendolo e la disciplina classica della dinamica. S’imbatté in uno dei grandi esempi di questa forma di regolazione. Huygens notò che vari orologi a pendolo, appoggiati contro una parete stavano oscillando in modo perfettamente sincronizzato. Sapeva che gli orologi non potevano essere così precisi. Huygens ipotizzò che gli orologi fossero coordinati da vibrazioni trasmesse attraverso la parete. Al presente, il fenomeno è definito agganciamento d…

Going beyond a conflict of approaches in psychiatric care: the perks of interdisciplinary research

2021

International audience; Our research studied the interactions between mental health care (MHC) professionals and users in French public psychiatry, focusing on the “tools” which professionals use in their interactions with users. We draw a typology of four main "therapeutic styles" in relation to tool use;1- Absence of identifiable tools. Interaction is personalized and improvised. 2- Use of rituals and habits. 3- Use of methods that have otherwise been written and formalized.4- Use of tools, be they written or computerized, protocols guiding the interactions, or strictly standardized tools.The psychologist involved in the research (HH) intends to show how the practice of interdisciplinary …

¿Qué hubiera sido de Edipo sin Aristóteles y sin Freud?

2017

Edipo rey, de Sófocles, no se hubiera convertido en una tragedia “modélica” si no hubiera gozado de una amplia y reconocida recepción, sobre todo, por parte dos de sus intérpretes más decisivos e influyentes: Aristóteles y Freud. En este artículo analizamos los principales argumentos que ofrece Aristóteles en la Poética: a) la forma más apropiada de reconocimiento; b) el uso del coro; c) la argumentación verosímil; d) la concentración necesaria. Freud descubre en esta tragedia una estructura antropológica del deseo inconsciente de los seres humanos. Por último, expondremos los argumentos filosóficos de Kaufmann: a) la inseguridad radical del ser humano; b) la ceguera; c) la maldición del co…

ReMindCare: Una aplicación para primeros episodios psicóticos integrada en la práctica clínica diaria

2021

Objetivos: El objetivo fundamental de esta tesis es el de desarrollar e implementar un sistema de atención sanitaria e-Health (App para smartphone) en la práctica clínica diaria en una unidad de Primeros Episodios Psicóticos (PEP). Objetivos Específicos: Los objetivos específicos que se buscan conseguir mediante la implementación de este dispositivo son los siguientes: (1) mejora de la atención temprana ante posibles recaídas, (2) reducción de las visitas a los servicios de urgencias y (3) reducción de las rehospitalizaciones. Métodos: El diseño de la app se basó en dos estudios previos y un estudio piloto. Se trata de una aplicación dirigida a pacientes de la unidad PEP del Hospital Clínic…

Mind, brain, and downward causation

2011

Este trabajo tiene tres partes. En la primera, exponemos algunas nociones básicas, como las de causalidad mental e intencional, así como la de causalidad misma; procedemos a continuación a formular algunas tesis, inspiradas en las ciencias naturales, y a mostrar cómo parecen entrar en conflicto con la aceptación de la causalidad intencional. Este conflicto es el núcleo del problema de la causalidad mental. En la segunda parte, presentamos y discutimos brevemente algunas propuestas para abordar este problema, y tratamos de sacar a la luz sus dificultades. Finalmente, en la tercera parte, planteamos tentativamente algunas sugerencias sobre el modo en que el problema de la causalidad intencion…

Implicit learning shapes new conscious percepts and representations

1997

We present here the lineaments of a new account of implicit learning, an account that does not rely on the notion of “implicit knowledge.” In this account, improved performance depends on the action of unconscious mechanisms that structure the phenomenal, conscious experience of the world. This integrative view makes groundless the search for dissociations between conscious and unconscious influences that has been at the core of the research on implicit learning and memory. We contrast this view, on the one hand, to Dienes and Berry’s (1997) proposal, which defines implicit learning by analogy with subliminal perception, and, on the other, to Neal and Hesketh’s (1997) episodic account, in w…
