LOS ESTILOS DE ENSEÑANZA Y APRENDIZAJE COMO SOPORTE DE LA ACTIVIDAD DOCENTE

Resumen Este trabajo analiza algunos aspectos pedagogicos que son clave para optimizar el aprendizaje. Una accion practica eficiente comienza por hacer realidad la disminucion de desencuentros entre estilos de ensenanza y estilos de aprendizaje. Por tanto, es necesario que el docente conozca los modos de aproximarse al aprendizaje del alumnado, sus actitudes, valores, diferencias culturales, destrezas y habitos de estudio. Ello conduce a asumir una praxis pedagogica que priorice la reflexion para conseguir un cambio didactico y un proceso de ensenanza mas individualizado como medio para evitar el fracaso escolar. El fin ultimo es elevar la calidad de la ensenanza resaltando la importancia de vincular los estilos de aprendizaje y estilos de ensenanza. En consecuencia, se presentan los resultados de una investigacion desarrollada en la Universidad de Vigo con el proposito de descubrir los estilos de ensenanza de los estudiantes de Magisterio. STYLES OF TEACHING AND LEARNING AS A TEACHING SUPPORT Abstract This paper analyzes some pedagogical aspects that are key to optimize learning. An efficient intervention begins when the teacher reduce the possibility of disagreements between teaching styles and learning styles. It is therefore necessary that the teacher knows the ways of approaching student learning, attitudes, values, cultural differences, skills and study habits. This leads to assume a pedagogical practice that prioritizes reflection to get an educational change and more personalized teaching process as action to prevent school failure. The objective is to improve the quality of education emphasizing the importance of linking learning styles and teaching styles. This article presents the results of research conducted in the Vigo University in order to discover the teaching styles preferred by students of the Teacher Training Degree.
Benign Nephrectomies and its Variables along with Vascular Changes in the Renal Artery: A Study from Tertiary Care Centre from South India

Nephrectomy remains the standard of care for patients with suspected renal mass despite studies proving that nephrectomy as an independent risk factor for developing chronic renal insufficiency.

Acute Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Furosemide Ototoxicity Revisited

Background Acquired sensorineural hearing loss occurs as a consequence of damage to the inner ear and may result from tumors, medications, or noise-induced acoustic trauma. Furosemide ototoxicity—manifested by tinnitus, vertigo, or hearing loss—is frequently reversible, but some cases may result in permanent hearing loss. Purpose Because of the serious nature of this adverse drug reaction, the intent of this article is heightening the awareness of furosemide-induced ototoxicity through case presentation. Methods An updated review of the literature is provided. Results and Conclusion The case demonstrates multiple risk factors that can be used to empower readers for identification of patients who are also at high risk. Strategies are presented for avoiding further cases.
Newcastle disease virus antibody in serum and feather pulp of chickens vaccinated with thermostable vaccine coated on grains and brans in Zaria, Northern Nigeria

Thermostable Newcastle disease vaccine virus strain I2 (NDVI2) was investigated for its efficacy as foodborne vaccine using maize, sorghum and their brans as carriers. Immune response to vaccination and resistance to challenge were assessed by haemagglutination inhibition (HI) test. After primary and secondary vaccination at three and six weeks of age, sera and feather pulp samples were analyzed to determine the antibody titre in the different groups. The highest mean antibody titre of 7.39 ± 0.42 log2 was recorded for serum when the vaccine was administered through treated sorghum coated with gum Arabic (TSGG) and 7.28 ± 0.37 log2 for feather pulp in the group given maize bran (MZB) at eight weeks of age. There was no significant difference (p E 0.05) between the HI antibody titre in the feed groups from feather pulp samples at three weeks of age while a significant difference (p < 0.05) in the serum antibody titre was observed between all the feed groups at five weeks of age. There was correlation in antibody titre between serum and feather pulps only at two weeks after second vaccination. The protection rate after challenge in all the groups was low with the highest rate (14%) recorded when the vaccine was administered in treated maize (TMZ) and TSGG. The study concluded that the vaccine could be effective for the protection of village chickens as food-borne vaccine provided the carrier foods are adequately treated to remove antiviral agents. The use of feather samples as suitable alternative to serum for ND serology was discussed. Key words: Chickens, maize, sorghum, Newcastle disease, thermostable vaccine.

Anticipation of the winter wheat growth based on seasonal weather forecasts over France

The aim of this study was to examine the ability of a crop model forced by seasonal weather forecasts to anticipate correctly the agrometeorological variables affecting the growth of winter wheat in France. The method is based on wheat growth simulations over 199 sites in France for the period 1981–2005 driven by seasonal weather forecasts, consisting of 6 month long, 45 member hindcasts starting on 1 February. These simulations were challenging a climatologically based wheat growth forecasting system currently used by ARVALIS − Institut du végétal. Both simulations were evaluated against a reference dataset. The simulations using the seasonal weather forecast present good skills for the dates of occurrence of the main growth stages: the ‘leaf sheaths strongly erect’ stage (also referenced as Zadoks scale Z30), the ‘head visible’ stage (Zadoks scale Z50) and the ‘kernel hard’ stage (Zadoks scale Z91). The simulations forced by the seasonal weather forecasts have lower bias than those forced by the climatological data: respectively −0.2 against 1.4 days for the Z30 stage, 1.1 against 3.2 days for the Z50 stage, 1.3 against 4.2 days for the Z91 stage. It is shown that the seasonal forecasting system provides more hit rates than the climatologically based method does. Thus, for the different events forecasted here, better predictability is found using the seasonal forecasting system. Despite shortcomings highlighted in this study, it is shown that a method based on seasonal weather forecasts could be applied in an operational context over France, in order to improve the method currently used in the agricultural sector.
Nonlinear filtering for narrow-band time delay estimation

This thesis presents a method for improving passive acoustic tracking. A large family of acoustic tracking systems combine estimates of the time difference of arrival (TDoA) between pairs of spatially separated sensors this work improves those estimates by independently tracking each TDoA using a Bayesian filter. This tracking is particularly useful for overcoming spatial aliasing, which results from tracking narrowband, high frequency sources. I develop a theoretical model for the evolution of each TDoA from a bound placed on the velocity of the target being tracked. This model enables an efficient form of exact marginalization. I then present simulation and experimental results demonstrating improved performance over a simpler nonlinear preprocessor and Kalman filtering, so long as this bound is chosen appropriately.

Refiguring Self And Identity Through Volunteer Tourism

RESUMEQuels sont les effets de l’experience de voyage sur le moi et l’identite du touriste ? Le voyage benevole offre-t-il l’occasion de rechercher l’identite par d’autres moyens ? Les theories interactionistes et post-colonialistes, avancees dans le contexte des etudes sur le loisir et le tourisme, peuvent nous permettre d’aller au-dela de ce qui, dans une large mesure, est reste confinee a la tradition de la pensee occidentale : une predominance des voyages dont le but est de s’evader, d’etablir l’identite et un sens d’individualite personnelle face aux forces anomiques du monde technologique. Il semble opportun d’elaborer une analyse auto-reflexive de ces pratiques qui sont bien differentes, comme, par exemple une analyse du moi a travers les cultures dans le monde developpe et celui en developpement. Pour ce faire, nous cherchons a nous servir du tourisme benevole comme point de mire, et nous etudions la perception qu’ont les cultures dominantes masculines des communautes de destination et de la natur.

Track and intensity forecast of tropical cyclones over the North Indian Ocean with multilayer feed forward neural nets

Precise forecasting of the track and intensity of tropical cyclones remains one of the top priorities for the meteorological community. In the present study multilayer feed forward neural nets with different architectures are developed to identify the best neural net for forecasting the track and intensity of tropical cyclones over the North Indian Ocean (NIO) with 6, 12 and 24 h lead time. Forecast errors are estimated with each neural net. The result reveals that the neural net architecture 1 (NNA 1) with 10 input layers, 2 hidden layers, 5 hidden nodes and 2 output layers provides the best forecast for both the track and the intensity of the tropical cyclones over NIO. Two cyclones of the same category in Saffir Simpson Hurricane Scale, namely Nargis and Phet, that occurred over the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea of the NIO basin are considered in the present study for validation. The result reveals that the prediction errors (%) with NNA 1 model in estimating the intensity of the cyclones Nargis and Phet during the validation are 3.37, 8.29 and 9.74 as well as 6.38, 11.26 and 18.72 with 6, 12 and 24 h lead time, respectively. The mean track errors for 6, 12 and 24 h forecasts are observed to be 45, 69 and 89 km for cyclone Nargis and 54, 87 and 98 km for cyclone Phet. NNA 1 model is observed to perform better than NNA 2 and NNA 3 models and the existing numerical models.

Late effects of adjuvant chemotherapy on brain function and structure

textabstractBreast cancer is the most frequent malignancy in women in Western Europe and the United States. In 2009, 13,177 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed within the Netherlands alone The lifetime risk of breast cancer in Dutch women reached 1 in 8.3 between 2005 and 2009, which is comparable to the lifetime risk of 1 in 8.2 in United States women that was observed between 2005 and 2007. The European Standardized Rates of breast cancer in the Netherlands significantly increased from 97.4 per 100,000 in 1989 to 129.6 per 100,000 in 2007. This increase has been ascribed to lifestyle changes such as delayed childbearing, lower parity, reduced breast-feeding and increased body-mass index. At the same time, mortality rates have decreased slightly as a result of improved treatment and possibly as a result of population screening. Because of the increased incidence and slightly decreased mortality, the number of survivors has increased.
The Relationship between Quality of Life and Social Capital amongst people living with HIV/AIDS attending the Imam Khomeini Hospital Consultation Center for clients with risky behaviors in Tehran– 2011

Background and Aim: The quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS is affected by their experiences such as social isolation, stigmatizatio n and discrimination, which may lead to physical, m ental and social problems. Knowledge of the quality of li fe of HIV-infected individuals can help greatly in delivering health and social services to them. The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of life of HIV/AIDS patients referring to a major care centre for these patients in Iran. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study we recruited 300 HI V-infected men and women referring to Imam-Khomeini Hospital Behavioral Dise a Consultation Center in Tehran selected by convenience sampling. Data were collected using the World Health Organiza tion Quality of Life for HIV Brief version (WHOQOL-HIV BREF). The statistical tets used for da ta nalysis were T-test, one-way ANOVA and multiple regression. Results: The mean (±SD) age of the respondents was 34.3±7. 5 years. The majority of them were males (55%) and asymptomatic (51.7%). Among the domains of qual ity of life, level of independence had the highest (13.4±3.1), and environment (12.5±2.8) and psychological (12.5±3.1) domains the lowest, scores . Younger and employed subjects and women reported a better quality of life in some domains (p<0.05) . Conclusion: The psychological and environment domains in the quality of life were found to be more adversely affected by HIV than other domains. Suita ble and culturally acceptable interventions are recommended, particularly to address these patients ' psychological and environmental needs.
