Uses of Code-Switching in Four-Year-Old Monolingual Children's Second Language Acquisition
2013
Code-Switching is a phenomenon in which ¿speakers rely on juxtaposition of grammatically distinct subsystems to generate conversational inferences¿ according to Gumperz (1982:97). The broad use of code-switching in diverse contexts and with at least two languages in contact has made this linguistic device be one of the most studied behavioural features of bilinguals¿ speech (Gregori and Alcantud.2011). Additionally, code-switching, seems to have an important communicative function, that is why it is a very interesting aspect of sociolinguistics to be researched.Nowadays, the development of educational provision is reaching more and more social strata. This fact, together with a wider use of…

Selective depression of interferon-γ and granulysin production with increase of proliferative response by Vγ9/Vδ2 T cells in children with tuberculos…
2002
Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cells can contribute to protective immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, although the extent to which and mechanisms by which they could actually protect against human tuberculosis remain unclear. We have previously reported that Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cells from tuberculin purified protein derivative (PPD)-positive children, either healthy or affected by different clinical forms of tuberculosis, strongly proliferate to different phosphoantigens in vitro, whereas Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cells from PPD-negative healthy subjects proliferate very poorly. We report here that Vgamma9/Vdelta2 T cells from tuberculous children have an increased proliferative activity, but decr…
Quality parameters, bioactive compounds and their correlation with antioxidant capacity of commercial fruit-based baby foods
2013
Comprehensive research is required to achieve the optimization of the antioxidant protection through baby foods, in particular, the commercially available fruit-based baby foods. This study investigated the physicochemical properties, ascorbic acid (AA), total carotenoids (TC), total phenolic content (TPC), trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity (TEAC) and oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) of 23 different commercially available fruit-based baby foods. The main contribution to the total antioxidant capacity (trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity and oxygen radical absorbance capacity) was provided by ascorbic acid, followed by phenolic compounds, in accordance with a mathematical e…
Brivaracetam as Early Add-On Treatment in Patients with Focal Seizures: A Retrospective, Multicenter, RealWorld Study
2022
Introduction: In randomized controlled trials, add-on brivaracetam (BRV) reduced seizure frequency in patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy. Most real-world research on BRV has focused on refractory epilepsy. The aim of this analysis was to assess the 12-month effectiveness and tolerability of adjunctive BRV when used as early or late adjunctive treatment in patients included in the BRIVAracetam add-on First Italian netwoRk Study (BRIVAFIRST). Methods: BRIVAFIRST was a 12-month retrospective, multicenter study including adult patients prescribed adjunctive BRV. Effectiveness outcomes included the rates of sustained seizure response, sustained seizure freedom, and treatment discontinua…
Los mecanismos de afrontamiento como predictores de la disposición prosocial
2012
El objetivo del trabajo es identificar los mecanismos de afrontamiento que utilizan los niños y niñas considerados 'más prosociales'. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 465 niños y niñas de entre 10 y 12 años considerados en vulnerabilidad social en Argentina y en España. La población evaluada en la muestra española (n= 196) está escolarizada en Centros Públicos de zonas declaradas de Acción Preferente por el Gobierno Valenciano en el año 1993. La muestra de Argentina (n=269), son niños y niñas que residen en barrios humildes o asentamientos de emergencia, con viviendas en condiciones precarias y que asisten a escuelas marginales. Los resultados de los análisis realizados han permitido identif…
Modified hemi-Fontan procedure on the beating heart
1998
the heart by infusing the cardioplegic solution under aortic occlusion by means of the balloon throughout the procedure. Even though the balloon catheter passes through the aortic valve, significant aortic valve insufficiency is not likely to occur because of the small caliber of the balloon catheter. We believe that the clinical application of this double-lumen aortic occlusion catheter will protect the myocardium in patients with a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm or distal descending aortic aneurysm who undergo the operation through the left thoracotomy with DHCA.
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…
From teacher training in Spain to educational practice in Senegal : an international cooperation project based on service learning for Pre-School and…
2021
Este artículo se encuentra disponible en la siguiente URL: https://revistas.uned.es/index.php/REEC/article/view/29393/23408 Este artículo pertenece al número "La educación en los países emergentes: ¿nuevos laboratorios educativos del siglo XXI?". Se presenta y analiza un proyecto de cooperación internacional para alumnado universitario español, en el que se combina la metodología formativa de aprendizaje servicio (ApS) con una estancia en un país emergente. Desde los grados de Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria de la Universidad CEU Cardenal Herrera, se planificó y ejecutó una intervención educativa en Djikesse (Senegal), concretamente en las escuelas de Educación Infantil (Guardería A…
Exploring prenatal and neonatal life history through dental histology in infants from the Phoenician necropolis of Motya (7th–6th century BCE)
2023
The biological life history of infants from archaeological contexts can provide a unique insight into past human populations. Dental mineralized tissues contain a permanent record of their growth that can provide access to the prenatal and early infant life, and mortality, of human skeletons. This study focuses on the histomorphometric analysis of deciduous teeth from the ‘Archaic Necropolis’ of Motya (7th–6th century BCE, Sicily–Italy). The histomorphometric analysis is conducted on prenatal and postnatal enamel of eight anterior deciduous teeth from seven individuals from this Phoenician population to estimate their chronological age-at-death, health, and enamel growth parameters. Proteom…
