Summary Background Improving survival and extending the longevity of life for all populations requires timely, robust evidence on local mortality levels and trends. The Global Burden of Disease 2015 Study (GBD 2015) provides a comprehensive assessment of all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 249 causes in 195 countries and territories from 1980 to 2015. These results informed an in-depth investigation of observed and expected mortality patterns based on sociodemographic measures. Methods We estimated all-cause mortality by age, sex, geography, and year using an improved analytical approach originally developed for GBD 2013 and GBD 2010. Improvements included refinements to the estimati…

Structural changes induced by daily music listening in the recovering brain after middle cerebral artery stroke: a voxel-based morphometry study
2014
[Abstract.] Music is a highly complex and versatile stimulus for the brain that engages many temporal, frontal, parietal, cerebellar, and subcortical areas involved in auditory, cognitive, emotional, and motor processing. Regular musical activities have been shown to effectively enhance the structure and function of many brain areas, making music a potential tool also in neuro- logical rehabilitation. In our previous randomized controlled study, we found that listening to music on a daily basis can improve cognitive recovery and improve mood after an acute mid- dle cerebral artery stroke. Extending this study, a voxel-based morphometry (VBM) analysis utilizing cost function masking was perf…
La fraseología en el Thesaurus de Pedro de Salas : las locuciones verbales
2006
La lexicografía del Siglo de Oro tiene entre sus obras fundamentales, los diccionarios de los jesuitas Bartolomé Bravo y Pedro de Salas. Este último enriquece notablemente la obra de Bravo introduciendo no solamente nuevos vocablos, sino también numerosos enunciados entre los que abundan locuciones verbales y adverbiales, enunciados fraseológicos, proverbios, refranes, etc., que son de enorme interés para el conocimiento de la lengua del siglo XVII. En esta comunicación pretendo analizar la fraseología contenida en el Thesaurus hispanolatinus del P. Pedro de Salas, centrándome, por la limitación del tiempo, en las locuciones verbales. Son más de mil las unidades fraseológicas que se contien…
Tratamiento de los problemas aritméticos verbales en los libros de texto de educación primaria editados en el marco legislativo de la LOMCE
2019
Uno de los supuestos aceptados por todos los componentes de la comunidad educativa se refiere al hecho de considerar las matemáticas como una materia fundamental en el currículum escolar, tanto por su contribución al desarrollo cognitivo y actitudinal de los estudiantes como por la funcionalidad de los aprendizajes matemáticos en la vida adulta. No obstante, la realidad de la escuela ha puesto de manifiesto que tradicionalmente las matemáticas han constituido una de las áreas más difíciles de enseñar y aprender. Muestra de ello son los resultados de los informes de las pruebas internacionales (TIMMSS de la IEA, en Educación Primaria; y PISA, de la OCDE, en Educación Secundaria), que indican…
Conducta verbal del entrenador en competición y percepción de éste por los jugadores: análisis en función de diferentes variables psicológicas
2015
Las relaciones existentes entre el entrenador y sus jugadores, el comportamiento y la conducta verbal del entrenador en competición, la forma de comunicar y expresar las emociones y el fomento del bienestar del deportista son aspectos que deben tenerse muy en cuenta si queremos mantener o mejorar el rendimiento de nuestro equipo deportivo o trabajar el aprendizaje de habilidades técnico-tácticas. El presente trabajo de investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar las relaciones existentes entre las diferentes variables psicológicas de los entrenadores, como la inteligencia emocional y otras enmarcadas dentro de la Teoría de la Autodeterminación, como la satisfacción de necesidades, la motivaci…
IMPAIRED ALLOCENTRIC SPATIAL MEMORY UNDERLYNG TOPOGRAPHICAL DISORIENTATION
2006
The cognitive processes supporting spatial navigation are considered in the context of a patient (CF) with possible very early Alzheimer's disease who presents with topographical disorientation. Her verbal memory and her recognition memory for unknown buildings, landmarks and outdoor scenes was intact, although she showed an impairment in face processing. By contrast, her navigational ability, quantitatively assessed within a small virtual reality (VR) town, was significantly impaired. Interestingly, she showed a selective impairment in a VR object-location memory test whenever her viewpoint was shifted between presentation and test, but not when tested from the same viewpoint. We suggest t…
Working memory structure and intellectual disability
2000
The working memory of people with intellectual disability has been found to generally lag behind their mental age. However, studies concerning the structure of working memory or its connections to other cognitive functions are rare. The present study employs a versatile battery of tests for the evaluation of working memory structure in adults with intellectual disability of unknown aetiology. In addition, connections between working memory and cognitive skills valid for everyday functioning are evaluated. Working memory performance in the study participants was found to stem from two distinct components which could be regarded to represent phonological and general working memory. General wo…
Declarative verbal memory impairments in middle-aged women who are caregivers of offspring with autism spectrum disorders: The role of negative affec…
2015
Caring for offspring diagnosed with a chronic psychological disorder such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is used in research as a model of chronic stress. This chronic stress has been reported to have deleterious effects on caregivers' cognition, particularly in verbal declarative memory. Moreover, such cognitive decline may be mediated by testosterone (T) levels and negative affect, understood as depressive mood together with high anxiety and anger. This study aimed to compare declarative memory function in middle-aged women who were caregivers for individuals with ASD (n = 24; mean age = 45) and female controls (n = 22; mean age = 45), using a standardised memory test (Rey's Auditory V…
Interindividual synchronization of brain activity during live verbal communication
2013
Verbal social interaction plays an important role both in the etiology and treatment of psychiatric disorders. However, the neural basis of social interaction has primarily been studied in the individual brain, neglecting the inter-individual perspective. Here, we show inter-individual neuronal coupling of brain activity during live verbal interaction, by investigating 11 pairs of good female friends who were instructed to speak about autobiographical life events during simultaneous fMRI acquisition. The analysis revealed that the time course of neural activity in areas associated with speech production was coupled with the time course of neural activity in the interlocutor's auditory corte…
