Comparison of short-term light disturbance, optical and visual performance outcomes between a myopia control contact lens and a single-vision contact…
2020
Purpose To compare the optical and visual performance of a dual-focus (DF) contact lens used for myopia control with a single-vision (SV) contact lens of the same material. Methods A randomised, double-masked crossover study. Twenty-eight healthy, myopic volunteers between 18 and 32 years of age (23.49 +/- 4.07 years) participated in this study. The sensory dominant eye for distance vision was determined. Refraction, best-corrected visual acuity (VA) and aberrations for 3 mm and 5 mm pupil diameters were quantified without a contact lens in situ. Subjects were fitted with two contact lens designs: DF and SV, both made of omafilcon A material. The Quality of Vision (QoV) questionnaire, over-…
A study protocol for applying the co-creating knowledge translation framework to a population health study
2013
Background: Population health research can generate significant outcomes for communities, while Knowledge Translation (KT) aims to expressly maximize the outcomes of knowledge producing activity. Yet the two approaches are seldom explicitly combined as part of the research process. A population health study in Port Lincoln, South Australia offered the opportunity to develop and apply the co-KT Framework to the entire research process. This is a new framework to facilitate knowledge formation collaboratively between researchers and communities throughout a research to intervention implementation process. Design: This study employs a five step framework (the co-KT Framework) that is formulate…
Transgresión moral y enfermedad en los países nórdicos en la temprana Edad Moderna
2009
This article seeks to understand how people in the early modern age interpreted the nature of illness and the role that morality played in these interpretations. From this point of view illnesses were not only psycho-physical states or subjects for medical diagnosis but they were also subjects for narratives or stories through which people tried to understand what had caused their illness, and why it was happening to them. Illnesses were understood as strictly connected with the patient's character and were regarded as possible consequences of his personality. On the other hand, the interpretations also emphasised the ambivalence of a healer. Personal experiences and an understanding of one…
Public Administration and the Study of Political Order: Towards a Framework for Analysis
2020
The contribution of this study is two-fold: First, it outlines a conceptual framework on political order; and secondly, it offers empirical illustrations on the case of Nordic cooperation. Taken together, the article makes a plea for public administration scholarship in the study of political order. Political order consists of a relatively stable arrangement of institutions that are fairly formalized and institutionalized. A common political order, moreover, entails that relevant institutions: (i) are fairly independent of pre-existing institutions; (ii) are relatively integrated and internally cohesive; and (iii) are reasonably able to influence governance processes within other institutio…

Formación artística en el grado de maestro de primaria de la Universitat de València. Enfoques y propuestas
2014
Este trabajo presenta una propuesta enfocada a mejorar la docencia en el actual grado de maestro de Primaria en lo que a Educación Artística se refiere, según el plan de estudios de la Facultat de Magisteri de la Universitat de València. La implantación del grado es relativamente reciente con lo cual permite plantearse mejoras que conlleven dotar a los futuros maestros de herramientas que optimicen sus conocimientos del área artística. Así, se llevará a cabo una colaboración horizontal basada en la cooperación entre profesores de las diferentes áreas artísticas: Educación Plástica y Música. Por ello, se plantea la puesta en práctica de una metodología innovadora de índole cooperativa, revis…
Las aportaciones de la Historia del Arte al proceso educativo intercultural: posibilidades y limitaciones
2016
La Historia del Arte es una asignatura adecuada para la consecucion de objetivos interculturales en Bachillerato. Las producciones artisticas de una sociedad reflejan las distintas culturas en contacto. Si se tiene en cuenta que el Bachillerato supone una preparacion para el acceso a la universidad, el docente no puede olvidar que el objetivo principal es conseguir cierto grado de madurez en el estudiante. Este articulo intenta mostrar como esta asignatura podra convertirse en el nucleo educativo intercultural en Bachillerato, mediante un analisis legislativo y el establecimiento de lineas de actuacion docente concretas. Se ha podido comprobar como una metodologia que parte de la reflexion …
Robots, labor markets, and universal basic income
2020
Automation is a big concern in modern societies in view of its widespread impact on many socioeconomic issues including income, jobs, and productivity. While previous studies have concentrated on determining the effects on jobs and salaries, our aim is to understand how automation affects productivity, and how some policies, such as taxes on robots or universal basic income, moderate or aggravate those effects. To this end, we have designed an experiment where workers make productive effort decisions, and managers can choose between workers and robots to do these tasks. In our baseline treatment, we measure the effort made by workers who may be replaced by robots, and also elicit firm repla…
Todavía unas palabras sobre las venas cefálica y basílica
1993
Ever since 1879, when Josef Hyrtl first formulated his thesis that the names of the cephalic and basilic veins, as applied to the arm veins, were of Arab origin, a discussion began between philologists and historians of medicine as the former defended the Greek source of such denominations whilst the latter shared the view of the Viennese anatomist. The author, after making a critical review of the -relevant works published hitherto, unearthes a text drawn from a Persian manuscript dating back to the 15th century that, in his view, confirms the rigthness of the Viennese anatomist's thesis.
Exploring Finnish Guidance Counselors’ Conceptions of Career Management Skills
2020
This article reports the findings from a phenomenographic investigation into guidance counselors’ conceptions of career management skills (CMS). The results show that CMS was conceived as (a) information-based knowledge, (b) personal skills development, (c) interpersonal skills development, and (d) autonomous application of skills. The differences appeared along six dimensions of variation that included awareness of CMS, emphasis, promotion of CMS, teaching practice, assessment, and attitude. The findings give us a more profound understanding of critical aspects that may have an important role in the development of individual’s CMS.
