Virtual Hierapolis: tra tecnicismo e realismo
2011
[ES] Una de las principales actividades de la MAIER tiene como objetivo desarrollar una línea de investigación dirigida a la restauración virtual y la reproducción 3D de los antiguos monumentos de la ciudad romana de Hierápolis de Frigia, Turquía. El proyecto, llamado "Virtual Hierápolis, se ha desarrollado gradualmente en las últimas tres temporadas de excavación (años 2007-2009) y ha madurado a partir de las primeras experiencias de la RV aplicada a este sitio en años anteriores. Esta investigación, coordinada por el Director de la misión italiana, prof. F. D'Andria, y llevada a cabo en el Laboratorio de Tecnologías de la Información (ITLab) dell'IBAM-CNR de Lecce (Italia), implica unidad…
Now you see me: perception as a basic principle in foreign languages learning
2016
No observamos todo lo que somos capaces de ver, ni escuchamos todo lo que creemos oír. Percibimos, en gran medida, aquello que estamos esperando que suceda y no lo que realmente sucede, hacemos reconstrucciones y predicciones constantemente. Así funciona el cerebro. En el caso de estudiantes cuya lengua materna es similar al español el principio de cierre hace que sean capaces de entender el sentido general del texto sin tan siquiera tener mucha práctica con el español. Por otro lado, este proceso puede suponer un impedimento a la hora de discriminar las diferencias que existen entre ambas lenguas. Buena prueba de ellos son aquellos que a pesar de vivir años en un ambiente de inmersión ling…
The relation between human values and perceived situation characteristics in everyday life
2018
Values refer to abstract beliefs which serve as guidelines in peoples’ life and affect the way people and events are evaluated. Simultaneously, unlike attitudes, values transcend specific actions, and situations. While recent research showed that values are related to the attention and interpretation of situational information in standardized laboratory settings, up to date hardly any empirical work investigated how values relate to situation perception in daily life. In our study, we assessed the relation between the endorsement of human values and situation characteristics (i.e., the 8 DIAMONDS). Using the Day Reconstruction Method in two samples (German and US-American), we found that es…
Estudio piloto de la validez convergente de la adaptación española del Denison Organizational Culture Survey (A pilot study of the convergent validit…
2016
The Denison Organizational Culture Survey (DOCS) is one of the most used instruments in the study of organizational culture. The aim of this study was to evaluate the convergent validity of the Spanish version of the DOCS using the Organizational Culture Inventory (OCI) developed by Cooke and Lafferty. This instrument is the most widely used and researched tool in the field of organizational psychology. The convergent validity of these instruments was evaluated using Pearson’s correlation analysis. The sample comprised 344 members from different research groups of a Spanish university. A poor correlation was found between the DOCS and the aggressive-defensive culture dimension of the OCI. H…
Experiencia de implantación de un método docente constructivista en la enseñanza de la medicina legal: La libertad de prescripción como ejemplo
2009
Introducción. El método constructivista va implantándose lentamente en la formación médica. En este tipo de aprendizaje, es el alumno el que va a construir el conocimiento sobre las bases cognitivas que ya posee. El profesor que sigue este método no se limita a suministrar un conocimiento ya elaborado, sino que ha de dirigir al alumno en su proceso autónomo y activo de aprendizaje. La principal limitación es el tiempo necesario para llevarlo a cabo con éxito porque obviamente el alumno necesita una información previa y un tiempo de elaboración y procesamiento de esos datos para conseguir construir un aprendizaje duradero. En el texto que sigue se describe la experiencia de la aplicación del…
Acromion clavicular joint reconstruction with LArS ligament in acute dislocation
2019
Background: The acromion clavicular joint dislocations are common injuries of the shoulder. The severity is dependent upon the degree of ligamentous injury. Surgical treatment is typically performed in higher grade acromioclavicular separation with several static and dynamic operative procedures with or without primary ligament replacement. Methods: 47 patients with acute Rockwood type III, IV, and V injuries were treated surgically with LARS reconstruction. The success of technique was evaluated by radiographic outcomes for each patient at every follow-up visit (one,three, 12 months), while to assess pain reduction and clinical evaluation Visual Analogue scale score (VAS) and Constant-Murl…
IMPLANT-PROSTHETIC REHABILITATION OF UNIDENTARE EDENTATION – PRINCIPLES OF TREATMENT
2015
For a practitioner with experience, the restoration with one or two individual crowns is relatively simple from clinical and technical point of view, but if a single crown has to be rebuilt in areas with major aesthetic concern, the prosthetic restoration becomes a challenge for any team of professionals. A major challenge for such a team si the unidental restoration, with or without implants, of a single incisor from the frontal maxillar area, especially the central superior incisors. These teeth have a highly aesthetic part since they are in direct connection with the shape and the aspect of the face. In the evaluation of the dental shape of the central incisors we can use different param…
Continuous Improvement on Detailed Design Phase : A Process Perspective
2020
The construction project being studied is a government investment related to the relocation of a biomedical institute delivering research-based knowledge and contingency support in the fields of animal health, fish health and food safety. The project covers a total of 63,000 square meters distributed over 10 buildings with a very high degree of complexity. The design alone has required 1 million hours, which relates to a client cost of about 100 million Euro. The purpose of this paper is to study the applied methodology for managing the detailed design to identify lessons learned from the project. The theory underlying the study is inspired by lean design management and design theory linked…
Optimizing artificial neural networks for the evaluation of asphalt pavement structural performance
2019
Artificial Neural Networks represent useful tools for several engineering issues. Although they were adopted in several pavement-engineering problems for performance evaluation, their application on pavement structural performance evaluation appears to be remarkable. It is conceivable that defining a proper Artificial Neural Network for estimating structural performance in asphalt pavements from measurements performed through quick and economic surveys produces significant savings for road agencies and improves maintenance planning. However, the architecture of such an Artificial Neural Network must be optimised, to improve the final accuracy and provide a reliable technique for enriching d…
Optimizing the Shape of Welded Constructions Made through the Technique “Temper Bead Welding”
2020
Welded constructions are subject to high stresses during operation. One solution for improving the behavior in exploitation of welded constructions in various cases is to use the welding technique “temper bead welding” (TBW). In the paper, the optimization of the geometry of the welded joints by the TBW technique was performed. Thus, corner welded joints made of S355 steel were analyzed. To make the welded joints, three layers of welding seams were deposited, and the intermediate layers were processed through cutting with various radii. To analyze the influence of the size of these rays on the behavior of welded constructions, a research program based on factorial experiences wa…
