Radiographic Assessment of Tibiofibular Syndesmosis Injury with Different Durations and Types of Fixation
2022
Introduction: There is no consensus among orthopedic surgeons on the number of cortical layers (tricortical or quadricortical fixation) involved or the duration of syndesmotic fixation after a tibiofibular syndesmosis (TFSD)-injury treatment. The purpose of this study was to assess radiographic parameters following the treatment of TFSD injuries, with various time-windows of syndesmotic screw removal and numbers of cortical layers involved. Materials and Methods: Fifty-five patients, aged from 25 to 75 years, were included in the study. The follow-up period ranged from 2 years to 4 years and 2 months. The patients were subdivided into groups based on the duration of the syndesmotic fixation…
Encuentro de saberes: Huellas de memoria pluriversa y descolonización de la Universidad contemporánea
2018
This paper studies the Encounter of Knowledge as a project that, by welcoming mestres and mestras of ancestral knowledge into universities, contributes to decolonize higher education, broadening its field of memory. Based on a systematization exercise, we established a theoretical dialogue with Bajtin and Bejamin. Based on the participation of four mestres -Lucely Pío, raicera del Cerrado, Mãe Lu and Tata Mutá Imé, religious leaders of Candomblé and the political leader and shaman Álvaro Tukano of the Tukano nation- we show how the project promotes in the contemporary Brazilian university a space of mnemic pluriversity, capable of activating diverse narrative planes (biographical, political…
The crater lake of Ilamatepec (Santa Ana) volcano, El Salvador: insights into lake gas composition and implications for monitoring
2019
We here present the first chemical characterization of the volcanic gas plume issuing from the Santa Ana crater lake, a hyper-acidic crater lake (pH of − 0.2 to 2.5) in north-western El Salvador. Our results, obtained during regular surveys in 2017 and 2018 using a Multi-GAS instrument, demonstrate a hydrous gas composition (H2O/SO2 ratios from 32 to 205) and SO2 as the main sulfur species (H2S/SO2 = 0.03–0.1). We also find that gas composition evolved during our investigated period, with the CO2/SO2 ratio decreasing by one order of magnitude from March 2017 (37.2 ± 9.7) to November 2018 (< 3). This compositional evolution toward more magmatic (SO2-rich) compositions is interpreted in the c…
Correlates of Orthographic Learning in Swedish Children With Cochlear Implants
2019
This study set out to explore the cognitive and linguistic correlates of orthographic learning in a group of 32 deaf and hard of hearing children with cochlear implants, to better understand the factors that affect the development of fluent reading in these children. To date, the research about the mechanisms of reading fluency and orthographic learning in this population is scarce. The children were between 6:0 and 10:11 years of age and used oral language as their primary mode of communication. They were assessed on orthographic learning, reading fluency and a range of cognitive and linguistic skills including working memory measures, word retrieval and paired associate learning. The resu…
Differences between students' PISA reading literacy scores and grading for mother tongue and literature at school : A geostatistical analysis of the …
2016
In Finland, the national Core Curriculum for Basic Education defines the learning objectives along with the numerical grade to be given for good competence in each school subject in the final phase of basic education. While serving as a guideline for schools and teachers, it should also ensure an objective evaluation of all students in Finland. In this paper, we take a closer look at the equality of student assessment in Finland in the light of student performance in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2009. This study investigates the relationship between the grades given to students in mother tongue and literature at different schools and the same students’ reading l…
Teoría de la educación : educación y cultura en la sociedad de la información
2011
Se exponen las principales perspectivas en el estudio del comportamiento informacional: la perspectiva del usuario y la del sistema. En el primer caso, se asume una visión global del proceso de búsqueda de información y se desarrollan modelos teóricos y metodológicos para guiar la investigación en este campo. Se presentan como ejemplo la teoría del Sense-Making de Brenda Dervin y el modelo de Proceso de Búsqueda de Información de Carol Kuhlthau. En el segundo caso, se asume una perspectiva parcial del proceso de búsqueda de información, centrándose fundamentalmente en las transacciones entre usuario y el sistema o entre el usuario y la información. Se describen los estudios del uso de recur…
Intentionality of the Design Through the Redesign: Albanese House by Leone and Culotta
2020
Albanian house was designed in 1982 and takes its name from the one who commissioned the project from the studio of Culotta and Leone. The achievements of the study were studied, focusing in particular on the various projects related to single-family houses. Given the technological characteristics of the project, an analysis of the international context was also necessary, in particular the suggestions of the shingle style cottages were studied. In addition, the construction technology underlying the project, or the balloon frame, typical of the US context, was also studied. The project shows great attention to the exhibition, and to the relationship between inside and outside. The whole pr…
Postfazione
2021
The graphic analysis, as Giuseppe Pagnano stated with great clarity in 1975, allows us to fully explore aspects that verbal language can only touch; it does not make us re-discover the rules of architecture but, as every critical operation, makes us understand which rules the architect used and above all it makes us understand why he formulated certain solutions rather than others. Therefore, investigating architecture with drawing not only means using the language used to design it but also using a privileged access key for understanding the shape. Graphic analysis, therefore, is a useful ‘tool’ for architectural criticism and the history of architecture because it contributes to the knowl…
Students’ Experiences of Reflective Writing as a Tool for Learning in Physiotherapy Education
2015
The purpose of this study was to examine physiotherapy students’ experiences of reflective writing. The students (n = 32) were asked to video record their practical activities at school and at workplaces, and to write reflective journals on their experiences. The research data about students’ experiences of reflective writing were collected by interviewing the students. The data were analyzed phenomenographically. The findings revealed four qualitatively different experiences of reflective writing: 1) writing as a useless task; 2) writing as a tool for deepening understanding; 3) writing as a tool for self-reflection; and 4) writing as a tool for professional development. These categories d…
Neuroaesthetic exploration on the cognitive processing behind repeating graphics
2022
Repeating graphics are common research objects in modern design education. However, we do not exactly know the attentional processes underlying graphic artifacts consisting of repeating rhythms. In this experiment, the event-related potential, a neuroscientific measure, was used to study the neural correlates of repeating graphics within graded orderliness. We simulated the competitive identification process of people recognizing artifacts with graded repeating rhythms from a scattered natural environment with the oddball paradigm. In the earlier attentional processing related to the P2 component around the Fz electrode within the 150−250 ms range, a middle-grade repeating rhythm (Target 1)…
