DHFR Inhibitors: Reading the Past for Discovering Novel Anticancer Agents.
2019
Dihydrofolate reductase inhibitors are an important class of drugs, as evidenced by their use as antibacterial, antimalarial, antifungal, and anticancer agents. Progress in understanding the biochemical basis of mechanisms responsible for enzyme selectivity and antiproliferative effects has renewed the interest in antifolates for cancer chemotherapy and prompted the medicinal chemistry community to develop novel and selective human DHFR inhibitors, thus leading to a new generation of DHFR inhibitors. This work summarizes the mechanism of action, chemical, and anticancer profile of the DHFR inhibitors discovered in the last six years. New strategies in DHFR drug discovery are also provided, …
In vitro antifungal properties of mouthrinses containing antimicrobial agents
1997
The purpose of this study was to investigate the in vitro antifungal properties of seven commercial mouthrinses containing antimicrobial agents. These included cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX), hexetidine (HEX), sanguinarine (SNG), and triclosan (TRN). The minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) against six species of yeasts was determined by a broth macrodilution method. The kill-time of mouthrinses at half the concentration of the commercial formulations was also determined. MFCs were achieved with each mouthrinse, except the SNG-containing mouthrinse, against all the organisms being tested. However, the CPC-containing mouthrinse appeared more active than the…
Revista electrónica de investigación y evaluación educativa
2006
The investigation results are presented: "An investigation or research about the most relevant variables from the student’s point of view which influence the general opinion about the teacher’s performance in the Universidad Autonoma de Occidente". The problems about the influence from the students perception in evaluating their teachers is taken on from two complementary perspectives: The first constitutes the qualitative analysis which has as a support the group interviews realized in each one of the academic programs. The second involves the quantitative analysis based on multivariate statistic tools. These perspectives allow elaborating a model to establish the grade of relevance each o…
Anàlisi crítica d’aplicacions de lectura per a infants: paràmetres i indicadors
2018
Les aplicacions de lectura digital infantil han evolucionat considerablement al llarg dels últims anys. Tanmateix, segueixen sent les grans oblidades en informes i estadístiques sobre la producció editorial i més encara dins del sector digital, cosa que origina un fenomen d’infoxicació en què el mediador es troba amb pocs criteris que faciliten la selecció d’aquest nou tipus de continguts. Aquesta investigació presenta els resultats de l’anàlisi de tretze aplicacions de lectura en les seues dimensions de forma i contingut. Alhora, s’hi observen trets com ara el mode d’adquisició, la privacitat, l’organització de continguts o la personalització. Finalment, reflexionarem sobre l’adequació del…
Appraisals in Italy Identity, contents, prospects
2018
The paper presents the results of a wide field research concerning the teaching of appraisal studies in the courses of Architecture and Engineering in Italian universities. This general report, including critical observations and interpretations, provides the basis for strategies to increase the presence and impact of appraisal studies. The aim is to spread the personal and professional awareness that the estimative sensibility is a key element for the knowledge and planning of the city and the territory. The paper is divided into three coalescing parts. The first highlights the presence of appraisal teaching in different universities and courses of study, and answers the questions: from wh…
A multicenter study on the appropriateness of hospitalization in obstetric wards: application of Obstetric Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol (Obste…
2015
The cross-sectional study has been based on the implementation of the Obstetric Appropriateness Evaluation Protocol (OAEP) in seven hospitals to determine inappropriate hospital admissions and days of stay. The outcomes were: inappropriateness of admission and "percentage of inappropriateness" for one hospitalization. A total number of 2196 clinical records were reviewed. The mean percentage of inappropriateness for hospitalization was 22%. The percentage of inappropriateness for the first 10 d of hospitalization peaked in correspondence of the fourth (42%). The logistic regression model on inappropriated admission reported that emergency admission was a protective factor (OR = 0.4) and to …
Evaluación de las actividades realizadas mediante la metodología de Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas
2020
[ES] La metodología de Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (ABP) requiere un enfoque de evaluación en el que se evalúen una serie de competencias específicas y transversales. Esta evaluación debe de tener un carácter formativo que permita a los estudiantes identificar y corregir los errores a tiempo. Por lo tanto, es necesario disponer de herramientas para poder evaluar apropiadamente los resultados de aprendizaje y las competencias establecidas. En la asignatura de Corrosión de segundo de Máster de Ingeniería Química, el ABP se ha evaluado a través de un informe a entregar tras cada sesión de ABP, en donde se recogen las principales conclusiones tras la resolución cooperativa del problema plan…
Las competencias básicas en la nueva generación de estudiantes universitarios: Una experiencia de Innovación
2017
[EN] This contribution presents an innovative teaching experience dedicated to developing core competencies in the university student by activating educational practices and evaluation procedures that seek to promote and maximize various competitions. This experiencie has been implemented in different degrees of the University of Valencia during the academic years 2011-12, 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15. Participating in the study 1285 students through accidental sampling accessibility. After developing a survey methodology based on descriptive-exploratory analyzes data collected allow us to know what is the degree of control perceived by university students around the following core competen…

Identification des compétences à l'école élémentaire :une approche empirique à partir des évaluations institutionnelles
2007
Cet article propose une analyse des résultats des élèves aux évaluations nationales, l’objectif étant de mieux comprendre comment les acquisitions se structurent à l’école primaire. L’intérêt de cette démarche réside principalement dans l’identification de compétences dont la maîtrise est essentielle à la réussite scolaire. L’approche choisie pour traiter la question est résolument empirique et se base sur l’examen des relations statistiques entre les items. Elle permet de répondre à plusieurs questions susceptibles d’intéresser les chercheurs en éducation, mais aussi les acteurs engagés, à différents degrés, dans le pilotage et la gestion pédagogique de l’enseignement primaire. Les évaluat…
