La siguiente investigación consiste en un estudio sobre la expresión y comunicación emocional de alumnos de Educación Primaria. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo la aplicación del Programa DISEMFE En Casa, compuesto por diez actividades realizadas en distintas sesiones, a través de las cuales se trabaja la expresión de diferentes emociones, tales como la alegría, el miedo o la tristeza. Los datos de la investigación han sido recogidos mediante cuestionarios realizados por los alumnos antes y después de la aplicación del Programa. Además, se ha empleado una memoria personal, donde se han ido recogiendo aspectos como el estado anímico de los alumnos o incidentes ocurridos durante la realización de las actividades. Estos instrumentos se han utilizado para comprobar si se han producido cambios tras la aplicación del Programa. Tras analizar los resultados, se verifica una mejora en los alumnos en cuanto a la expresión y comunicación de emociones. The following research is based on a study about emotional expression and communication in Primary Education students. For that purpose, the implementation of the DISEMFE En Casa Programme has been carried out. This Programme consists of ten activities developed in different sessions, through which the expression of different emotions is worked on, such as happiness, fear and sadness. The research information has been collected through questionnaires answered by the students before and after the implementation of the Programme. Furthermore, a personal report has been used, where aspects such as students’ emotional state and incidents occurred during the development of the activities have been compiled. These research instruments have been used to check if there have been changes after the implementation of the Programme. After analyzing the results, students show an improvement in terms of emotional expression and communication Universidad de Sevilla. Grado en Educación Primaria

Chronic health conditions are commonplace in older populations. The process of aging impacts many of the world's top health concerns. With the average life expectancy continuing to climb, understanding patterns of morbidity in aging populations has become progressively more important. Cancer is an age-related disease, whose risk has been proven to increase with age. Limited information is published about the epidemiology of cancer and the cancer contribution to mortality in the 85+ age group, often referred to as the oldest-old. In this review, we perform a comprehensive assessment of the most recent (2011-2016) literature on cancer prevalence, incidence and mortality in the oldest-old. The data shows cancer prevalence and cancer incidence increases until ages 85-89, after which the rates decrease into 100+ ages. However the number of overall cases has steadily increased over time due to the rise in population. Cancer mortality continues to increase after age 85+. This review presents an overview of plausible associations between comorbidity, genetics and age-related physiological effects in relation to cancer risk and protection. Many of these age-related processes contribute to the lowered risk of cancer in the oldest-old, likewise other certain health conditions may "protect" from cancer in this age group.

© 2015 British Educational Research Association. The aims of the Synthesis and Scaffolding Project were to understand: the role of specific scaffolds in relation to the activity of learners, and the activity of learners during a collaborative design task from multiple perspectives, through the collection and analysis of multiple streams of data and the adoption of a synthesis approach to the research. The Synthesis Approach to Analysing Educational Design (SAAED) dataset is comprised of video, audio and image files, transcripts of the discourse, as well as copies of physical artefacts generated by three groups of three postgraduate education students during a 90-minute design session. The data were collected in January 2013. Each group was given a different scaffold related to the design process, the social interactions or the use of the tools available to the participants. Researchers interested in analysing the SAAED are required to sign a collaborator agreement to become part of the project team.

Summary While researchers have documented sex differences in the way male and female children behaviorally respond to divorce of their families, data providing information on the impact of this psycho-social stressor on the physiological stress response is lacking. We hypothesized that family structure would affect cardiovascular reactivity in college students describing a frustrating event with students from disrupted families exhibiting greater reactivity. We also predicted we would find sex differences in the responses. Cardiovascular responses in men and women who were college students from Intact (child raised by both biological parents, n = 59) or Disrupted families (divorced, blended families, with one case of single parent, n = 46) were measured in response to three verbal tasks (High Affect provocation, Low Affect provocation and Mental Arithmetic). Significant interactions among Task Content, Sex and Family Structure were found for heart rate despite no significant differences in perceived famil...

The Partnership between higher education (HE) tutors and teacher mentors in schools has the student teacher at its centre and the common focus is the development of the student teacher's classroom competence. We argue, in this paper, that the relationship between tutor and mentor should go beyond the student teacher and his or her competence; it needs to be rooted in a view of the subject and what the subject can offer young people. Thus, there is another way of defining mentoring partnership which brings together the HE tutor and the school mentor and which has the subject at its centre. This paper has been jointly written by a tutor and a mentor. It focuses on one subject area — the Arts — and offers a view of the subject that has been developed over time by the tutor and the mentor, working through discussion of ideas and reflection on shared practice. It concludes with an example of the way that mentor, tutor and student teacher can work effectively together on learning — but on the basis of a shared ...

An absorption spectrometer equipped with a IV-VI semiconductor tunable mid-IR diode laser was used to make sensitive measurements of benzene (C(6)H(6)) gas in the 5.1-microm spectral range. Wavelength modulation coupled with second-harmonic detection achieved accurate real-time quantification of benzene concentrations down to a minimum detection limit of 1 ppmv with an integration time of 4 s. A variety of calibrated benzene-sensing measurements were made, including the determination of the benzene concentrations in vehicle exhaust and headspace vapors from unleaded gasoline and other liquids. Kinetic phenomena, including the monitoring of benzene evaporation and absorption/desorption by granulated activated carbon were observed with the instrument. Measurements were performed that allowed experimental determination of the activation energy for desorption of benzene from activated carbon, which was found to be 198 meV/molecule (19.0 kJ/mol).

The pharmacokinetic profile of indomethacin administered either orally or intravenously in 13 preterm infants with significant patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is reported. 9 infants received oral indomethacin and 4 received intravenous therapy. Plasma half-life was significantly prolonged as compared to adult values and demonstrated significant correlation with gestational age. Mean half-life in neonates less than 32 weeks gestation was 17.2 (0.8) vs. 12.5 (0.5) h for neonates greater than 32 weeks gestation. Bioavailability of the oral dosage based on AUC was 13% but no difference was observed in the plasma protein binding or distribution volume of drug as compared to adult values. No serious complications could be attributed to the use of indomethacin at these dose levels in the premature infant.

The rates of alcoholism among the gay/lesbian and bisexual populations has been estimated to be three times that of the general public. The socio-political influences that produce higher rates of alcoholism are reviewed. Specific issues in the treatment of chemically dependent men and women are defined and specific suggestions to address sexual orientation issues in treatment and the recovery process are made.

Postnatal maturation for indomethacin O-demethylation in freshly isolated hepatocytes and 10,000 g liver homogenates of rabbit was found to be significantly different from that observed in rabbit hepatic microsomes. Addition of hepatic cytosol (100,000 g supernatant) from day 10 postnatal rabbits significantly inhibited indomethacin O-demethylation by hepatic microsomes from adult rabbits. Kinetic studies demonstrated that the inhibition was competitive and consistent with the concentration of cytosol. The pattern of postnatal maturation for hepatic microsomal drug metabolism may in part be related to changes in the concentration of endogenous cytosolic inhibitors.
