Developing Online Collaborative Games for e-Learning Environments

2014

Based on our experience, we believe that games, competition and teamwork offer a pleasant and active way of learning. This is much more efficient when the learner has a smile on his face, when he is astonished and curious about next levels and finds the game sufficiently challenging and fun to try again. Our application proposal has the purpose of implementing an e-Learning platform for improving the teaching and learning process in somewhat abstract domains, such as computer architecture or object oriented programming, with the help of games. These games are time-dependent and are able to support collaboration between groups. To this date there are two learning games implemented: a crosswo…

On the Spanish National Character: Gender and Modernity in Joseph de La Porte’s Le Voyageur françois (1772)

2022

Este texto analiza la tensión entre la imagen autorreferencial de la modernidad europea construida por los pensadores ilustrados y la percepción de las peculiaridades nacionales que la desestabilizan desde el Sur, a partir de la caracterización de los españoles que encontramos en la colección de viajes de Joseph de La Porte Le Voyageur François (1765-1795). En esta enciclopédica reelaboración de relatos de viaje, La Porte utilizó constantemente el Sur europeo para establecer por contraste los rasgos de una modernidad asociada a los franceses. El texto evidencia la relevancia de géneros como los relatos de viajes (y más concretamente, las colecciones de viajes, un producto de síntesis comerc…

Is Hysteroscopy Better than Ultrasonography for Uterine Cavity Evaluation? An Evidence-Based and Patient-Oriented Approach

2016

Evaluation of the uterine cavity is an important part of the gynecological check, especially in symptomatic women and, over the last few decades, a number of technical and technological advancements has allowed a superb investigation of this organ. Traditionally, transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) has been the first-line diagnostic tool for evaluating uterine diseases, also considering that gynecologists are familiar with the technique since it is included in the basic training in obstetrics and gynecology. Nevertheless, to date “office hysteroscopy” received growing attention since the development of smaller-diameter hysteroscopes which has made it possible to easily perform the hysteroscopy …

The Relationship Between Goal Orientation, Social Comparison Responses, Self-Efficacy, and Performance

2008

The present study examined whether social comparison responses (identification and contrast in social comparison) mediated the relationship between goal orientation (promotion and prevention) and self-efficacy, and whether self-efficacy was subsequently related with a better performance. As expected, the results showed that promotion-oriented individuals – who are focused on achieving success – had higher self-efficacy than prevention-oriented individuals – who are focused on avoiding failure. Only one of the social comparison responses had a mediating role. That is, the tendency to contrast oneself with others who were doing better mediated the relationship between a prevention goal orien…

Título, resumen y palabras clave en español e inglés Resumen basado en el de la publicación El contexto socioeconómico obliga a realizar una revisión profunda del sentido del trabajo en la población. En momentos de escasez de oportunidades laborales y de redefinición del sentido y el significado del trabajo, muchas personas consideran la opción del autoempleo como alternativa al desempleo y la precariedad laboral.
