Evaluation of the Oxiris Membrane in Cardiogenic Shock Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support: Study Protocol for a Single Center, Sin…
2021
Background: Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is the rescue treatment proposed to patients with refractory cardiogenic shock. The VA-ECMO implantation promotes inflammation and ischemia-reperfusion injuries through the VA-ECMO flow, causing digestive mucosa barrier disrupture and inducing translocation of bacterial wall components—Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) with further inflammation and circulatory impairment. LPS is a well-studied surrogate indicator of bacterial translocation. Oxiris membrane is a promising and well-tolerated device that can specifically remove LPS. The main study aim is to compare the LPS elimination capacity of Oxiris membrane vs. a non-absorban…
Psychosocial Safety Climate: A New Work Stress Theory and Implications for Method
2019
This book responds to a public health priority (Whiteford et al., 2013) and a call from the WHO (2016), ILO (2016) and OECD (2012) to prevent and manage mental ill-health and promote health and well-being by drawing attention to the connection between work and mental health. By demonstrating a link between work factors and mental health-related issues, this book will provide public policy makers with evidence needed to shift policy attention to create mentally healthy workplaces and move investment of health, compensation, and insurance funding into proactive prevention strategies rather than costly treatments, medications, therapy, and hospitalisation. Ensuring workplaces globally have the…
Benefits of area-wide traffic calming measures: outcomes still to assess
2008
The role of traffic calming schemes in urban network management is mainly to minimize undesirable effect of traffic in residential areas; in this context accident reduction can be a realistic objective. Several studies, indeed, inform us that traffic calming is a major part of the treatments available to reduce road accidents in urban areas. Paradoxically the increase of the accident rate per kilometre travelled has been observed in the urban context as result of the wellknown accident migration phenomenon. In connection to these considerations, the effectiveness of traffic calming measures on road safety is discussed in this paper. Then, after a synthetic exposition of the conceptual formu…
Always pay attention to which model of motor learning you are using
2022
This critical review considers the epistemological and historical background of the theoretical construct of motor learning for a more differentiated understanding. More than simply reflecting critically on the models that are used to solve problems—whether they are applied in therapy, physical education, or training practice—this review seeks to respond constructively to the recent discussion caused by the replication crisis in life sciences. To this end, an in-depth review of contemporary motor learning approaches is provided, with a pragmatism-oriented clarification of the researcher’s intentions on fundamentals (what?), subjects (for whom?), time intervals (when?), and purpose (for what…
The Subjective Social Value of Education Construct: CrossValidation between School and University Teachers
2016
La Educación posee un valor social evidente que puede presentarse mediante indicadores de evaluación socio-educativos. Si bien la relación entre contexto escolar y rendimiento es evidente en diversos países, esta relación va perdiendo consistencia en los últimos años; ya que aparecen sectores estudiantiles que superan las predicciones académicas esperadas. Para ello, se estudia el Valor Social Subjetivo de la Educación en función de dos grupos docentes –escuela y universidad–. La metodología es complementaria a través de comités de expertos/as y validación cruzada de constructo. Se realizan análisis sobre dos escalas –relevancia y susceptibilidad de cambio– y entre dos muestras diferenciada…
Estrategias artísticas micropolíticas en el espacio urbano del siglo XXI. Análisis de casos del contexto artístico español y una propuesta expositiva…
2017
Las prácticas artísticas vinculadas a la ciudad y al espacio urbano se han convertido en un proceso artístico de importancia relevante dentro del contexto español sobre todo en estas últimas décadas. Uno de los motivos es el ensalzamiento de la ciudad como el espacio por excelencia de la contemporaneidad, el cual se empezó a definir a partir de la Revolución Industrial y se ha ido redefiniendo con los cambios que han surgido a partir de los nuevos sistemas de producción. La ciudad se ha convertido en el lugar donde artistas y proyectos artísticos crean nuevas relaciones con el espacio urbano conectando con la realidad que conforma un contexto determinado. Esta investigación toma como nexo c…
How amniotic fluid shapes early odor-guided responses to colostrum and milk (and more)
2016
Revue; Among the multiple transitions that characterize mammalian development, birth certainly is the most abrupt and spectacular. It is also the most challenging for newborns when one considers their high mortality rates in any mammalian species. Although evolution has selected newborn organisms that possess the physiological and behavioral keys leading to adapt to this harsh psychobiological challenge, their capabilities cannot be considered separately from the maternal organism and the environment she creates. Mammalian females provide indeed passive (physiological) and/or active (behavioral) assistance to complement and boost their offspring’s capacities. One notable strategy of mammali…
A Bayesian Mixed-Methods Analysis of Basic Psychological Needs Satisfaction through Outdoor Learning and Its Influence on Motivational Behavior in Sc…
2017
Research has shown that outdoor educational interventions can lead to students' increased self-regulated motivational behavior. In this study, we searched into the satisfaction of basic psychological needs (BPN), i.e., autonomy support, the learners' experience of competence, and relatedness, both within the peer group and with their teachers, through outdoor learning. From 2014 to 2016, n = 281 students attended “research weeks” at a Student Science Lab in the Alpine National Park Berchtesgaden (Germany). The program is a curriculum-based one-week residential course, centered on a 2-day research expedition. Both before and after the course, students completed a composite questionnaire addr…
Pokémon GO 2016: Exploring Situational Contexts of Critical Incidents in Augmented Reality
2016
Pokémon GO, an augmented reality mobile game, captured the attention of millions of people around the world in July 2016. Various sources from around the globe have reported both positive and negative incidents and outcomes related to the game. Some of the incidents have been particularly remarkable for the player, i.e., critical incidents. A critical incident is a single experience, which a person perceives or remembers as unusually positive or negative. Critical incidents typically are highly influential for human behaviour, and thus, important to study. Playing augmented reality games can take place in varying situational contexts. Situational context includes information that can be use…
Motivación y aprendizaje escolar en la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria: Un estudio empírico desde el Modelo de Calidad de Situación Educativa
2015
La desmotivación de los alumnos/as es uno de los principales problemas con los que se enfrenta actualmente el profesorado, sobre todo en los niveles de educación secundaria. Basándonos en el Modelo de Calidad de Situación Educativa (MCSE) (Doménech, 2006, 2007, 2011a, 2011b, 2012, 2013 y Doménech-Betoret, Gómez-Artiga y Lloret-Segura, 2014), este estudio, compuesto de cuatro investigaciones independientes, examina a) cómo se genera la motivación de los alumnos/as de secundaria y cómo ésta va evolucionando a lo largo del curso en función de sus variables personales y de la percepción que éstos se formen del contexto de la situación educativa. Además, b) examina de forma simultánea el efecto …
