Neuropsicología del proceso creativo. Un enfoque educativo
Authors: López-Fernández Verónica , Llamas-Salguero Fátima 
Published: December 2017

Vivimos en un contexto y en una sociedad en constante cambio, que requiere que las personas se adapten a las nuevas circunstancias en las que nos hallamos. La creatividad es uno de los elementos más importantes a tener en cuenta como facilitador de la adaptación, además de ser un criterio de inclusión importante a la hora de detectar personas con alta capacidad intelectual. Por todo ello, es de especial relevancia su estudio desde todas las perspectivas. Por este motivo, el objetivo del presente estudio es aportar un mejor entendimiento de la creatividad desde un enfoque neuropsicológico, dado el carácter multidimensional del constructo. Se ha llevado a cabo una revisión de algunos estudios que estudian la creatividad desde la neurociencia y se propone una visión de las funciones neuropsicológicas implicadas en dicho proceso, en función de la fase en la que nos encontramos ante actividades creativas y que fueron establecidas por Wallas (1926): preparación, incubación, iluminación y verificación. Los resultados muestran que hay funciones cognitivas de especial relevancia en cada fase y estructuras cerebrales con gran activación en las distintas etapas del proceso creativo. Por último, se propone con esta nueva perspectiva del estudio de la creatividad, un punto de partida para realizar otras investigaciones.
Aprendizaje-servicio y mejora de la Personalidad Eficaz en futuros docentes de Educación Física
Authors: Chiva-Bartoll Òscar , Pallarés-Piquer Marc , Gil-Gómez Jesús 
Published: December 2017

El desarrollo de la “Personalidad Eficaz”, entendido como constructo en el que se relacionan los rasgos de la personalidad con la conducta eficaz en contextos profesionales o académicos, se postula como una de las metas de la formación universitaria del s. XXI. En esta línea, el Aprendizaje-servicio (ApS) es un método pedagógico que podría satisfacer estas necesidades al centrarse en la aplicación de competencias académicas en contextos reales. El presente trabajo, planteado desde un enfoque mixto de investigación, emerge con el objetivo de conocer si el ApS contribuye al desarrollo de la “Personalidad Eficaz” en estudiantes de magisterio del área de Educación Física. El estudio que se presenta se concretó en la Universitat Jaume I (España) y analiza el resultado de un programa de ApS sobre un grupo de estudiantes de segundo curso del Grado de Magisterio. Del análisis cuantitativo se concluye la existencia de diferencias significativas, a favor del grupo experimental, en los resultados globales del Test de Personalidad Eficaz para Universitarios. Por otra parte, el enfoque cualitativo del estudio se alinea y complementa los resultados cuantitativos, favoreciendo una mejor y más contextualizada comprensión de los mismos.
Visualizing “The Rich Boy”: F. Scott Fitzgerald, F. R. Gruger, and Red Book Magazine
Authors: Nolan Jennifer 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Although the majority of F. Scott Fitzgerald's stories were published in popular magazines with illustrations, little scholarly attention has been paid to the hundreds of images that interpreted Fitzgerald's stories or to the artists who produced them. Yet, for most of Fitzgerald's contemporary audiences, these illustrations played an essential role in how they experienced the text, particularly given the usual placement of an image preceding, and thereby framing, the narrative. One of Fitzgerald's most important stories, “The Rich Boy,” was published in two installments of Red Book Magazine in January and February of 1926, and was illustrated by F. R. Gruger, a prolific and well-respected illustrator at the peak of his career. Examining the interplay between Gruger's six illustrations and Fitzgerald's text reveals how they mutually reinforce Fitzgerald's narrative and thematic emphases through prefiguring, highlighting, and interpreting elements of the plot. By focusing on this aspect of the print culture surrounding the publication of Fitzgerald's stories, this article demonstrates the integral link between the visual and textual during this era and offers new ways of thinking about how Fitzgerald's stories were positioned for most of his contemporary readership.
Besides Zurich and Beyond Europe: Decentering Euro-Centrism inTender Is the Night
Authors: Käck Elin 
Published: December 2017

AbstractWhile the cosmopolitan gestures and racial markers in Tender Is the Night have generated thought-provoking readings in Fitzgerald scholarship, the novel's profound exploration of Eurocentrism has been overlooked. This article considers the novel within the frameworks of spatial theory and geo-criticism to uncover its interrogation of Eurocentrism. It argues that Fitzgerald's Europe is part of a relational geography activated by the novel's global network of geographical locales and that it is a made space. Set mainly in Europe, the novel insistently presents a global geography that rests upon the economic transactions that enable the characters' experience and crafting of Europe. It is not some essence of Europe, its historical heritage or cultural hegemony that warrants its position as central, but its function as an amorphous space that has become malleable through economic consumption. The places described are almost exclusively European, but minor characters, slips, and transformations trouble Europe's explicit centrality in the novel. Europe's places lose their singularity with Hollywood replicas superimposed onto existing monuments, but foreign currency is steadily directed at Europe, which means that it retains its status as a central locus. While the novel thus challenges the notion of Europe as center, it nonetheless reiterates much of the Eurocentric argument.
Fitzgerald as Prose Technician: A Short Catalog of Rhetorical Devices
Authors: Zimmerman Brett 
Published: December 2017

AbstractUsing the taxonomy and the terminology of classical rhetoric, this article examines the prose of the four novels published in Fitzgerald's lifetime as well as several of his most notable short stories. This methodology enables one to go beyond the fuzzy descriptors—such as “brilliant,” “clear,” “vital,” “lucid,” “fluent,” “natural,” “fine,” and “rich”—often applied to Fitzgerald's writing. The article eschews the impressionistic in favor of a more “scientific” approach to that prose: through the exegetical microscope of the rhetorical lexicon, it demonstrates the surprising subtleties of Fitzgerald's linguistic craftsmanship. Without claiming that Fitzgerald was steeped in the terminology of classical rhetoric, it proposes that he at least had an intuitive understanding of the syllabic, lexical, aural, descriptive, metaphorical, syntactical, argumentative, grammatical, verisimilous, emotional, psychological, and even the comedic and satirical strategies and maneuvers that the terms describe and for which the ancient Greeks and Romans provided names and categories. The article concludes with a number of observations about Fitzgerald's careful and conscientious craftsmanship: some buttress widely accepted pronouncements about his prose style, techniques, and philosophy of composition; others, one hopes, are new insights that may surprise even Fitzgerald's most enthusiastic champions and be embraced by them.
CONTRIBUIÇÕES DE MICHEL FOUCAULT AO ESTUDO DA FILOSOFIA ANTIGA:O CONCEITO DE PARRHESÍA APLICADO AO FEDRO DE PLATÃO
Authors: Rocha Gabriel Rodrigues 
Published: December 2017

<p>O artigo analisa a interpretação foucaultiana do diálogo intermédio <em>Fedro</em>, de Platão. Neste propósito, para Michel Foucault, a querela entre retórica e filosofia e entre a oralidade e a escrita, são de menor importância, em relação à questão da utilização boa ou má do logos. Do que se segue - no uso foucaultiano -, que o uso apropriado do logos faz-se a partir de três prévios requisitos: a <em>parrhesía</em>, a <em>psicagogia</em> e a <em>dialética</em>. A filosofia de Platão, analisada a partir do referido diálogo <em>Fedro</em>, propõe um novo lugar (<em>tópos</em>) ao uso discursivo do logos. Em consequência, o logos filosófico constrói-se em direta relação com a verdade do enunciado e, em consequência, com a eticidade do discurso. Assim apresenta-se como definitivo a ruptura com o que se denominou de uso procedimental da retórica. Isto é, a sua utilização puramente formal e instrumental ao processo persuasivo. A propósito, viés este largamente utilizado na tradição sofistica, à qual, a tradição socrático-platônica irá veementemente se opor.</p>

Qohélet 2,12 : un texte indéchiffrable ?
Authors: Lavoie Jean-Jacques 
Published: December 2017

L’auteur présente un état de la recherche de la critique textuelle de Qo 2,12 en montrant qu’il faut maintenir le texte massorétique, puisque c’est le texte le plus difficile. Puis, il présente un état de la recherche de la critique des sources ainsi que de l’analyse structurelle et littéraire, afin de montrer que ce verset doit être lu à la lumière de son contexte immédiat. En effet, la comparaison de la sagesse et de la folie, au v. 12a, annonce la question de l’avantage de la sagesse sur la folie et du sage sur le fou, en 2,13-16. Quant au v. 12b, il annonce la question portant sur la valeur du successeur, en 2,19a, et souligne, non sans ironie, que la valeur du successeur est dérisoire et que celui-ci ne vaut que ce que le prédécesseur, aussi incomparable soit-il, a fait de lui. Ainsi compris, le v. 12 peut aussi se lire comme une allusion à Roboam en 1 R 12.
A Review on Assessing Agreement
Authors: Barnhart Huiman X. 
Published: December 2017

AbstractMeasurements serve as the basis for evaluation in almost all scientific disciplines, especially in physical sciences, medical studies, and health care. Issues related to reliable and accurate measurement have evolved over many decades. Requiring a measurement to be identical to the truth is sometimes impractical or impossible either because (i) the truth is simply not available or is measured with some error or (ii) some tolerable error is acceptable. Concepts of agreement, including reproducibility or reliability, are often used to determine whether the measurements can be used or not for evaluation. There has been substantial statistical literature in the last several decades on assessing agreement. This article provides a critical and comprehensive review on agreement concepts and their corresponding agreement indices developed for assessing agreement among measurements made on the same subject or experimental unit. The emphasis is on the intuitive understanding of concepts and on insights into both controversies and appropriate applications for continuous and categorical data. Four examples with either continuous or categorical measurements are used for illustration and discussion.
Density Estimation
Authors: Scott David W. 
Published: December 2017

AbstractThe “density estimation” article highlights the dual roles of the graphical exploration of data as well as the nonparametric estimation of the distribution of continuous probabilities. Estimators described in detail include the histogram, frequency polygon, averaged shifted histogram, and the classic kernel method. The basic theory of estimation is outlined. Data‐based calibration by cross‐validation is described. Several concrete examples are given. Even with the rapid adoption of data sciences and machine learning, density estimation retains a key role in data preparation and data understanding.
Statistical Challenges in Exoplanet Detection
Authors: Babu Gutti Jogesh 
Published: December 2017

AbstractA brief introduction to planets outside our Solar System is presented. Various methods of discovery are outlined with emphasis on photometric detection of exoplanetary transits with NASA's Kepler Mission. Statistical challenges in the analysis of noisy and irregularly spaced time series typical for exoplanet data are described. A range of exciting recent findings have emerged for both individual multiplanet systems and for the underlying population of planets in the Galaxy. It is now clear that most stars host planetary systems, and statistical estimates suggest that habitable Earth‐like planets may be common.
Random Walk Metropolis Sampler
Authors: Martinez Wendy 
Published: December 2017

AbstractThe main tasks of statisticians and data scientists are to describe and make inferences about real‐world data. Tasks in inferential statistics include hypothesis testing, constructing confidence intervals, and building models. Most of these often require statisticians to make simplifying assumptions about the statistics. If we do not want to use simplifying assumptions or simple statistics, then we can use Monte Carlo methods to estimate the distributions of these statistics. This article describes the random walk Metropolis method of generating random variables, which can be used in estimating integrals and expectations, hypothesis testing, optimization, Bayesian inference, and more. Some background information on related random number generation methods, such as the Metropolis‐Hastings and the acceptance–rejection methods is provided.
Analysis of Life History Calendar Data
Authors: Eerola Mervi , Helske Satu 
Published: December 2017

AbstractThe life history calendar (LHC) is a data‐collection tool for obtaining reliable retrospective data on several life domains. LHC data can be analyzed either with probabilistic modeling of transitions between the life states or with sequence analysis, a data‐mining method that requires minimal simplification of the original data. The life events define the multistate model and its event‐specific hazards and the parallel life domains in multidimensional sequence analysis. These two approaches complement each other, and recently also several ways to combine them have been suggested.
Ensemble Kalman Filter
Authors: Wikle Christopher K. , Katzfuss Matthias , Stroud Jonathan R. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) is a computational technique that leads to efficient approximate inference in state‐space models. Traditionally, this has been applied to data assimilation problems in which high‐dimensional spatial fields are observed sequentially through time. In essence, the EnKF approximates the traditional Kalman filter by using a sample (i.e., ensemble) of draws to represent the state process distribution. As new data become available, these ensemble members are updated by shifting toward the data. This shifting procedure is one of the key differences between the EnKF and reweighting‐based methods (e.g., particle filters), and allows the EnKF to avoid the degeneracy problem that is endemic to those methods, even for very high state dimensions. Although the EnKF implicitly assumes linear Gaussian state‐space models, it allows for nonlinear state propagation and is fairly robust to deviations from linearity and Gaussianity.

‐Chart) Control Chart in Healthcare
Authors: Mitra Amitava 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The healthcare field is a ripe sector for application of control chart techniques for process control and improvement. A key criterion for monitoring nonconforming outcomes, such as mortality of patients after a certain procedure at a healthcare facility, is that of risk adjustment. The preoperative condition of the patient, based on characteristics such as level of obesity, degree of hypertension, or presence of diabetes may have an impact on the postoperative mortality. Hence, the degree of care received by the patient through the efforts of the surgeon, medical, and nursing staff are not the only factors contributing to the postoperative outcome. Since there is inherent variation among the patients, based on their personal characteristics, such variation needs to be accounted for in the monitoring scheme. A proportion nonconforming control chart aggregates the results of nonconforming outcomes over a period of time. While the power of such a control chart may not be as much as one that takes into account each individual outcome and incorporates the information in the plotting statistic, it is simpler and easier to construct.
Tests for Comparing Two Ordered Multinomials
Authors: Shan Guogen , Hutson Alan 
Published: December 2017

AbstractFor a two‐arm study with ordinal outcomes, the proportional odds model (POM) based on cumulative logistic regression is commonly used to compare the two groups. When the assumption of the POM is questionable or the group variable is the only covariate in the model, other statistical approaches should be considered. When the assumption of the POM is not met, the nonparametric Wilcoxon mid‐rank test is often used to assess the group difference. Both the POM and the Wilcoxon test rely on their asymptotic limiting distributions to make statistical inference, and they generally do not have satisfactory performance with regard to type I error control for a study with sample size from small to medium. For these cases, exact approaches are recommended for use to bound the type I error rate and make proper statistical inference. Exact unconditional approach based on estimation and maximization is generally more powerful than exact conditional approach, although exact unconditional approaches are computationally intensive.
Practical Implementation of Dose–Response Adaptive Trials
Authors: Mander Adrian P. , Wheeler Graham M. , Yap Christina 
Published: December 2017

AbstractThe main role of dose–response phase II trials within a clinical development plan is to identify a potentially efficacious dose that can be explored in phase III trials. Traditionally, designs have investigated a fixed set of doses with equal numbers of participants on each dose. Usually these designs are fixed before any data have been observed and it is rarely possible to select the most efficient choices. The dose range under investigation may include doses that have little or no observable effect or the doses that are too high and potentially have toxicities. A dose–response adaptive trial allows changes to the doses selected during the conduct of the trial in order to make better dose choices. The better dose choices could be to allow the most efficient estimation of the dose–response relationship or to select the most promising dose. This article highlights the various issues with trying to implement dose–response adaptive designs and demonstrate the compromises that need to be made between optimal choices and the reality.

Biomaterials for Skin Substitutes

Published: December 2017

AbstractPatients with extensive burns rely on the use of tissue engineered skin due to a lack of sufficient donor tissue, but it is a challenge to identify reliable and economical scaffold materials and donor cell sources for the generation of a functional skin substitute. The current review attempts to evaluate the performance of the wide range of biomaterials available for generating skin substitutes, including both natural biopolymers and synthetic polymers, in terms of tissue response and potential for use in the operating room. Natural biopolymers display an improved cell response, while synthetic polymers provide better control over chemical composition and mechanical properties. It is suggested that not one material meets all the requirements for a skin substitute. Rather, a composite scaffold fabricated from both natural and synthetic biomaterials may allow for the generation of skin substitutes that meet all clinical requirements including a tailored wound size and type, the degree of burn, the patient age, and the available preparation technique. This review aims to be a valuable directory for researchers in the field to find the optimal material or combination of materials based on their specific application.
