Attentional bias towards interpersonal aggression in depression – an eye movement study
2020
Depressed individuals exhibit an attentional bias towards mood-congruent stimuli, yet evidence for biased processing of threat-related information in human interaction remains scarce. Here, we tested whether an attentional bias towards interpersonally aggressive pictures over interpersonally neutral pictures could be observed to a greater extent in depressed participants than in control participants. Eye movements were recorded while the participants freely viewed visually matched interpersonally aggressive and neutral pictures, which were presented in pairs. Across the groups, participants spent more time looking at neutral pictures than at aggressive pictures, probably reflecting avoidanc…
The Potentials of Tangible Technologies for Learning Linear Equations
2020
Tangible technologies provide interactive links between the physical and digital worlds, thereby merging the benefits of physical and virtual manipulatives. To explore the potentials of tangible technologies for learning linear equations, a tangible manipulative (TM) was designed and developed. A prototype of the initial TM was implemented and evaluated using mixed methods (i.e., classroom interventions, paper-based tests, thinking aloud sessions, questionnaires, and interviews) in real classroom settings. Six teachers, 24 primary school students, and 65 lower secondary school students participated in the exploratory study. The quantitative and qualitative analysis revealed that the initial…
Priekšmetiskas darbības rīku izmantošana skaitļu izjūtas mācīšanai matemātikā sākumskolā
2021
Pētījuma mērķis bija pārbaudīt priekšmetiskas darbības rīku izmantošanu kā instrumentu skaitļu izjūtas mācīšanai sākumskolā Latvijā. Lai to noskaidrotu, veikta sākumskolas matemātikas skolotāju anketēšana, koncentrējoties uz konkrētu priekšmetiskas darbības rīku izmantošanas praksi ikdienā, skolotāju zināšanām par priekšmetiskas darbības rīku izmantošanu un viedokli par to lietderību. Pētījuma rezultātā secināts, ka šī pētījuma grupas ietvaros priekšmetiskas darbības rīki tiek izmantoti ikdienā klases darbā sākumskolās Latvijā, taču tie tiek izmantoti šauri, neizmantojot priekšmetiskas darbības rīku pilnu potenciālu. Pētījumā secināts, ka pētījuma mērķa grupas ietvaros priekšmetiskas darbīb…

Mitos del amor romántico y autoestima en adolescentes
2019
Los mitos del amor romántico son creencias irracionales socialmente construidas sobre la naturaleza del amor, las cuales estipulan qué es el “amor verdadero”, cuáles son las características deseables al seleccionar pareja, la importancia del amor, las expectativas de futuro y el tipo de relación. La presencia de estas creencias románticas favorece o mantiene la violencia de género en la pareja y las relaciones basadas en el control, las cuales se relacionan con una menor autoestima. El objetivo de este estudio es registrar la interiorización de los mitos del amor romántico en un grupo de adolescentes y analizar su relación con la autoestima. Para la consecución de dicho objetivo, una muestr…
Data from: Multidimensionality in host manipulation mimicked by serotonin injection
2014
Manipulative parasites often alter the phenotype of their hosts along multiple dimensions. ‘Multidimensionality’ in host manipulation could consist in the simultaneous alteration of several physiological pathways independently of one another, or proceed from the disruption of some key physiological parameter, followed by a cascade of effects. We compared multidimensionality in ‘host manipulation’ between two closely related amphipods, Gammarus fossarum and Gammarus pulex, naturally and experimentally infected with Pomphorhynchus laevis (Acanthocephala), respectively. To that end, we calculated in each host–parasite association the effect size of the difference between infected and uninfecte…
Data from: Parasite infection in a central sensory organ of fish does not affect host personality
2016
Among the ecological factors acting on the evolution and expression of animal personalities and behavioral syndromes, parasitism has received comparatively little attention. However, infection and host behavior are often strongly intertwined, because host behavior can predict the risk of infection and can also be changed by an infection. We conducted a controlled experimental infection study to explore the effects of infection on host boldness, exploration and activity using rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and its trematode parasite Diplostomum pseudospathaceum, which infects a central sensory organ of the fish, the eye lens. Contrary to our expectation, infection did not change the withi…
Analysis and review of the perioperative management of COVID-19 patients in thoracic surgery.
2021
Resumen Debido a la grave situacion de pandemia que vivimos causada por el COVID-19, la Seccion de Anestesia Cardiaca, Vascular y Toracica de la SEDAR pretende dar informacion de los aspectos mas relevantes a considerar en pacientes con sospecha o infeccion confirmada por coronavirus que van a ser sometidos a cirugia toracica. Creemos que es esencial mantener una optima transmision de informacion para llevar a cabo maniobras seguras, tanto para los pacientes como para el personal sanitario. La estrategia de manejo debe basarse en una organizacion exquisita del trabajo, definiendo quien, como y cuando va a realizar cada tarea y procedimiento. Las recomendaciones que se proponen, tras valorar…
Effectiveness of a manual therapy protocol based on articulatory techniques in migraine patients. A randomized controlled trial
2021
Background: Physiotherapy is used as a non-pharmacological treatment for migraine. However, controversy exists over whether articulatory manual techniques are effective in some aspects related to migraine. Objectives: To assess the effectiveness of a manual therapy protocol based on articulatory techniques in pain intensity, frequency of episodes, migraine disability, quality of life, medication intake and self-reported perceived change after treatment in migraine patients. Design: Randomized controlled trial. Methods: Fifty individuals with migraine were randomized into the experimental group, which received manual therapy based on articulatory techniques (n = 25), or the placebo group (n …
8 A multicentric randomized trial to evaluate the role of uterine manipulator on laparoscopic/robotic hysterectomy for the treatment of low-risk endo…
2020
Background The role of the intrauterine manipulator in minimally invasive hysterectomy for endometrial cancer has been widely debated in terms of impact on the oncological outcomes. To date, definitive conclusions on the possible advantages and oncological safety of its use in endometrial cancer staging are still awaited. Objectives This randomized trial aimed to assess the role of the uterine manipulator in terms of oncological and perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing minimally invasive (laparoscopic/robotic) staging for presumed low-risk endometrial cancer. Study Design Enrolled patients were randomly allocated in two groups according to the use (Group A) or no use (Group B) of t…
