Educational innovation in basic and advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation in pediatrics and neonatology in a realistic context
2018
Introducción: El profesor universitario debe transmitir las habilidades técnicas y cognitivas sobre reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP) en Pediatría con el método más efectivo. Metodología: 17 clases prácticas de Resucitación Cardiopulmonar de 2 horas para 225 alumnos. Se impartió el 2º curso de Enfermería Pediátrica de la Universidad de Valencia. Cada clase consistió en 3 casos clínicos en los que participaron 15 estudiantes y 3 monitores. El conocimiento de los estudiantes se evaluó con prueba-repetición de 11 preguntas y la satisfacción después de la simulación (cuestionario de 20 preguntas). Resultados: la media de satisfacción de los alumnos fue de 8,62 sobre 10 puntos. La evaluación de l…
Yliopistojen brändit ja identiteettiväitteet : case High Point University
2017
Akateeminen maailma on käynyt läpi eräänlaista murrosaikaa. Lukuisat länsimaiset yliopistot ovat siirtyneet kohti markkinatalousajattelun mukaisia toimintamalleja, siinä missä vielä muutamia vuosikymmeniä sitten niiden toiminnan perustana olivat pääasiassa akateemislähtöiset arvot. Tästä on seurannut, että keskinäinen kilpailu ajaa yliopistoja markkinoimaan itseään yhä näkyvämmin erilaisten brändiin ja organisaatioidentiteettiin liittyvien väitteiden kautta. Yleisiä markkinoinnissa esiintyviä teemoja ovat muun muassa lupaukset innovatiivisuudesta tai korkeatasoisesta opetus- ja tutkimustoiminnasta. Toisinaan nämä väitteet ovat kuitenkin ylimitoitettuja, eivätkä toteudu käytännössä. Tässä tu…
Comparison of heparin to citrate as a catheter locking solution for non-tunneled central venous hemodialysis catheters in patients requiring renal re…
2014
Background The incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) is estimated at 10 to 20% in patients admitted to intensive care units (ICU) and often requires renal replacement therapy (RRT). ICU mortality in AKI patients can exceed 50%. Venous catheters are the preferred vascular access method for AKI patients requiring RRT, but carry a risk of catheter thrombosis or infection. Catheter lock solutions are commonly used to prevent such complications. Heparin and citrate locks are both widely used for tunneled, long-term catheters, but few studies have compared citrate versus heparin for patients with short-term, non-tunneled catheters. We aim to compare citrate 4% catheter lock solution versus hepar…
A Systematic Umbrella Review on the Epidemiology of Modifiable Health Influencing Factors and on Health Promoting Interventions Among University Stud…
2020
Background: Universities represent an important setting for health promotion. The unique collective of university students is of particular relevance since they are the leaders, decision-makers, and parents of tomorrow. In this context, modifiable health influencing factors as well as interventions to prevent these, play a crucial role. Therefore, the present umbrella review aims to (i) provide an overview of review articles addressing epidemiological issues (prevalence and determinants) of modifiable health influencing factors in university students and (ii) to provide an overview of review articles addressing the evidence of interventions to promote/enhance modifiable health influencing f…
Teaching and learning in consumer behavior: a class activity supporting real decision-making in cultural management
2010
Abstract Problem-based learning has been suggested as a useful tool to foster student-centered learning and increase student motivation. Students of Business Administration are not familiar with Research on Consumer Behavior, its contents and techniques, since this subject is traditionally linked to Psychology. In order to facilitate the teaching-learning process in this subject, this paper presents an application of problem-based learning in the context of Consumer Behavior. Results of this pilot experience are assessed under a qualitative and a quantitative basis. The evidence obtained allow us to conclude that this collaboration project enable students to obtain and to process informatio…
«Student Voice» per la valorizzazione delle risorse personali
2017
Negli ultimi dieci anni, un nuovo movimento di opinione in campo educativo si è diffuso in Italia per stimolare i responsabili delle politiche educative e gli insegnanti di ogni ordine e grado dell’istruzione ad ascoltare attentamente le voci, nonché i bisogni e gli interessi di tutti gli studenti. Si tratta del movimento «Student Voice», nato negli anni Novanta nel Regno Unito e diffusosi in alcuni Paesi di area anglofona (USA, Canada, Australia). Questo movimento sostiene la partecipazione attiva e responsabile di tutti gli studenti ai processi formativi che si attivano nelle scuole e nelle università: nello specifico, questa partecipazione si esplica nella didattica in aula, nelle ricerc…

Enhanced Spatial Navigation Skills in Sequence-Space Synesthetes
2018
Contains fulltext : 219554.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Closed access) Individuals with sequence-space synesthesia (SSS) perceive sequences like months, days and numbers in certain spatial arrangements. Several cognitive benefits have been associated with SSS, such as enhanced mental rotation, more vivid visual imagery and an advantage in spatial processing. The current study aimed to further investigate these cognitive benefits, focusing on spatial navigation skills, to explore if their enhanced sensitivity to spatial relations is reflected in enhanced navigational performance. Synesthetes were distinguished from controls by means of a questionnaire, a consistency test and drawings. A virtu…
Obstacles modelling reality: Two exploratory studies on physics defined and undefined problems
2014
For some researchers, and perhaps for many teachers, problem-solving is strongly related to thinking (Mayer, 1983). Several reports highlight the importance of developing suitable skills to solve complex, ill-defined and boundless real-life problems in educated people (NSF Standards, U.S. Department of Labour, ABET engineering accreditation organization, and American Institute of Physics, mentioned in Etkina & Van Heuvelen, 2007; Bureau of Labour Statistics, U.S. Department of Labour, 2014; Competency Model Clearinghouse, 2012). Problem-solving is virtually the core of the professional activity of a physicist (Etkina, Van Heuvelen, White-Brahmia, Brookes, Gentile, Murthy, Rosengrant & Warre…
Private Pre-University Education in Romania
2014
This paper approaches private provision of pre-university education in Romania, exploring available data on the sector's size and main characteristics and evaluating the extent to which the current regulatory framework enables positive effects in terms of freedom of choice, quality, equity, and social cohesion. The paper argues that the lack of a clear strategy mixed with strict control in key areas and lax implementation of support instruments has led to private providers not being a legitimate alternative to public education.
