Is there truth in fiction? Lessons from readers’ responses to dementia fiction
No full textThis paper addresses the question ’is there truth in fiction?’, by synthesising a range of disciplinary approaches to the issue, as well as drawing on empirical research carried out with readers of fiction about dementia (hereafter, dementia fiction). We argue that fiction—perhaps because of its fictional status and apparatus—invites readers to consider its truth value, to explore the possibilities of human experience and interrogate issues relative to their subjective experience, community or society. The findings have significant implications for the Medical Humanities’ use of fictional texts to explore lived medical conditions and experiences, as well as claims made about the potential for fiction to affect real-world understandings, awareness and empathy around the conditions depicted. We show that the techniques used in fictional language may be artifice, but they simulate a truth that corresponds with reality.This article is based on research funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, UK, grant number AH/S001476/1.peerReviewe

Assessment of botanical learning through an educational intervention based on aromatic plants and their uses in the immediate environment
No full textIn order to achieve meaningful learning and in view of the need for education for sustainable development (ESD), pedagogical proposals based on experiential methodologies, paying attention to what is taught and with what objective, are essential. Sustainability in education implies a new vision of the term integral sustainability (IS); this should not only focus on environmental aspects of sustainability, but make the whole process of learning sustainable in itself. Against this background, this article presents a non-formal educational intervention for secondary school biology and geology students focused on aromatic plants and associated traditional knowledge (which are locally relevant to the students), in support of the botany-related contents established in the formal curriculum. To evaluate the activity, pre-test and post-test questionnaires were completed by the students. The results revealed significant improvements in students’ ratings of motivation, scientific learning, and sustainable awareness, demonstrating the effectiveness of implementing pedagogical proposals related to the immediate environment for increasing interest in learning and conservation of natural resources.Open Access funding provided thanks to the CRUE-CSIC agreement with Springer Nature.

Sports analysis of Wheelchair Basketball game statistics
No full textGame statistics are used for the analysis of the performance of athletes. This allows the strengths and weaknesses of the players to be understood, and to design and implement training sessions for performance enhancement. Therefore, the objective of this study was to analyse the game statistics of the 2021 and 2023 European Champions and the 2023World Champions in Wheelchair Basketball (WB), both male and female. For this purpose, the game statistics of all the championships were collected, and the differences according to gender and competition analysed through a statistical and inferential analysis, considering the functional classification of the players, based on the Mann–Whitney U test for the comparison of gender, and the Kruskal–Wallis H test for the comparison between championships. The results showed that players with a classification higher than 3.0 have higher three-point and two-point throws, while players with a classification of 1.0 have lower effectiveness in shooting. Depending on the championship, a greater number of three-point throws and respective effectiveness was found in the 2023 World Championships, with the male athletes presenting a greater number of points. This information will support WB coaches in designing and implementing training sessions and patterns of play and movements in competitive moments to improve individual and team performance.This study was supported by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology, I.P. under Grant UID04045/2020 and Instituto Politécnico de Setúbal.

The legal framework of the social and solidarity economy in Argentina. Configuration and evolution
No full textLa economía social y solidaria cuenta con profundos antecedentes en la historia argentina, coincidiendo el origen de sus prácticas principales con la instancia de configuración institucional del Estado nacional a mediados del siglo XIX. La conformación del marco jurídico específico en este ámbito, focalizado principalmente en el movimiento cooperativo y mutuales, implicó el desenvolvimiento de un proceso complejo y prolongado cuyo ritmo de avance no se ajustó, muchas veces, a la celeridad de los cambios propios del dinamismo que caracterizó al sector. Teniendo en cuenta ello, este trabajo se propone caracterizar la evolución que describió la regulación legal de la economía social y solidaria en el ordenamiento jurídico argentino. A través de un análisis de naturaleza cualitativa y con propósitos descriptivo y reflexivo, se recorre la trayectoria que cursó la configuración del marco legal específico identificando sus instancias principales. Se argumenta, en tal sentido, que en la evolución del régimen jurídico específico es posible distinguir dos fases, una de ellas correspondiente a la normación del cooperativismo y mutualismo y otra que aún se halla en formulación centrada en la necesidad de brindar cobertura normativa al extendido y diversificado campo social y solidario.The social and solidarity economy has deep antecedents in Argentine history, the origin of its main practices coinciding with the institutional configuration of the national State in the mid-19th century. The formation of the specific legal framework in this area, focused mainly on the cooperative and mutual movement, involved the development of a complex and prolonged process whose pace of progress was not adjusted, many times, to the speed of the changes inherent to the dynamism that characterized to the sector. Taking this into account, this work aims to characterize the evolution that described the legal regulation of the social and solidarity economy in the Argentine legal system. Through an analysis of a qualitative nature and with descriptive and reflective purposes, the trajectory of the configuration of the specific legal framework is traced, identifying its main instances. It is argued, in this sense, that in the evolution of the specific legal regime it is possible to distinguish two phases, one of them corresponding to the regulation of cooperativism and mutualism and another that is still in formulation focused on the need to provide regulatory coverage to the extended and diversified social and solidarity field.peerReviewe
Évaluation de la créativité motrice : une étude de protocole test-retest sur la fiabilite´ et la validite´ dans la fibromyalgie et les femmes en bonne santé
No full textIntroduction: Previous studies have found brain abnormalities and deficits in cognitive functions in people with fibromyalgia. It is known that choreography or creative tasks significantly generate cognitive improvements. Various methods have been described in the literature to evaluate creative activities using electroencephalography (EEG), such as the imagination of dance improvisations. However, there is the notion that creative solutions can emerge during the action and that creative motor action may reflect new, statistically rare, and adaptive coordination and/or the control solutions performed.
Aim: This study seeks to establish an operational approach to test how constraints are combined to induce variability of movement and how to evaluate it, but without forgetting the ideation or preparation of the activity as a relevant section in the study of motor creativity. To this end, this study aims to validate and test the reliability and applicability of an innovative test of motor creativity: The Motor Creativity Assessment (MCA), with the aim of achieving an objective score of motor creativity that can be used to test patients and monitor the interventions.
Material and methods: to correctly satisfy the requirements of the standard protocol for clinical trials, this study has followed the SPIRIT 2013 Statement Items. A total of 13 women with fibromyalgia and 13 healthy women were included in the study. The individual's cognitive impairment, sleep quality, pain, quality of life, level of physical activity, fear of falling, and the impact of fibromyalgia will be studied. This study develops a specific test of motor creativity without the use of objects, with the aim of achieving an objective score of motor creativity. An observation score sheet allows motor creativity to be analyzed and scored by viewing a video of the creative movement test. The Enobio® instrument (Neuroelectrics, Cambridge, MA, USA) and Neuroelectrics® instrument driver software (NIC1) were used to record EEG and heart rate variability signals.ntroduction
Des études ont révélé des anomalies cérébrales et des déficits des fonctions cognitives chez les personnes atteintes de fibromyalgie. On sait que la chorégraphie ou les tâches créatives génèrent de manière significative des améliorations cognitives. Diverses méthodes ont été décrites dans la littérature pour évaluer les activités créatives utilisant l’électroencéphalographie (EEG), comme la danse improvisée. Cependant, des solutions créatives peuvent émerger au cours de l’action et l’action motrice créative peut refléter une nouvelle coordination statistiquement rare et adaptative et/ou les solutions de contrôle mises en œuvre.
But
Cette étude cherche à établir une approche opérationnelle pour tester comment les contraintes se combinent pour induire la variabilité du mouvement et comment l’évaluer, mais sans oublier l’idéation ou la préparation de l’activité comme section pertinente de l’étude de la créativité motrice. À cette fin, cette étude vise à valider et tester la fiabilité et l’applicabilité d’un test innovant de créativité motrice : évaluation de la créativité motrice (MCA), afin d’atteindre un score objectif de créativité motrice pour tester les patients et suivre les interventions.
Matériel et méthodes
Cette étude a suivi les éléments de la déclaration SPIRIT 2013. Treize femmes atteintes de fibromyalgie et treize en bonne santé seront incluses dans l’étude. Les troubles cognitifs, la qualité du sommeil, la douleur, la qualité de vie, le niveau d’activité physique, la peur des chutes et l’impact de la fibromyalgie seront étudiés. Cette étude développe un test spécifique de créativité motrice sans utilisation d’objets, afin d’atteindre un score objectif de créativité motrice. Une fiche d’observation permet d’analyser et de noter la créativité motrice grâce à un visionnage vidéo du test de mouvement créatif. L’instrument Enobio® (Neuroelectrics, Cambridge, MA, États-Unis) et le logiciel de pilotage d’instrument Neuroelectrics® (NIC1) seront utilisés pour enregistrer les signaux EEG et de variabilité de la fréquence cardiaque.The author A.M.-G. was supported by a grant from the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sport (FPU17/03130).

Hiring Forms of Companhia Antarctica Paulista as Sources for Economic Analysis of the Black Population in São Paulo Between 1920 and 1930
No full textO presente artigo tem como objetivo trazer elementos da história econômica da população negra em São Paulo entre 1920 e 1930, por meio da análise das fichas de contratação de funcionários da Companhia Antarctica Paulista (CAP) no período mencionado. Através de pesquisas documentais e bibliográficas e da metodologia da História Serial, buscamos diminuir a lacuna existente na historiografia que demonstre a presença dos negros na indústria paulistana pós-abolição. Por se tratar de pesquisa em fonte primária, contribuiremos para estudos sobre a difusão dessas fontes, afinal as ausências de pesquisas se dão em grande parte pela falta de acesso aos documentos. Por meio dos 15 campos de preenchimento, analisamos: moradia, salários e custos de vida. Uma rica fonte que nos trouxe indícios dessa população que ainda carece de estudos sobre sua inserção no mercado de trabalho formal na cidade de São Paulo entre 1920 e 1930.This article aims to shed light on the economic history of the black population in São Paulo between 1920 and 1930, through the analysis of employee hiring records of the Companhia Antarctica Paulista (CAP) in this period. Through documentary and bibliographical research and the Serial History methodology, we seek to reduce the gap in the historiography on the presence of black people in the post-abolition industry in São Paulo. As this is primary source research, we will contribute to studies on the dissemination of these sources; after all, the absence of research is largely due to the lack of access to documents. Using the 15 slots to fill in, we analyze: housing, salaries, and living costs. These employee records provide a rich source of information concerning this population that still lacks studies on its insertion in the formal job market in the city of São Paulo between 1920 and 1930.peerReviewe
Educating emotions: thoughts, self-esteem and behavior of adolescents based on their emotional education
No full textLa Educación ha de concebirse de manera integral, abarcando todos los aspectos de la persona, incluido, por supuesto, el relativo a las emociones que esta y los demás experimentan. Esta afirmación ha ido cobrando cada vez más fuerza, de tal manera que, en la actualidad, la Educación Emocional ha adquirido una merecida importancia en todas las etapas vitales. Concretamente, en la adolescencia este proceso educativo es esencial para que los jóvenes aprendan a conocerse y a interactuar con las personas de una manera correcta, positiva y efectiva. Por ello, ya desde la más temprana infancia deben desarrollarse las competencias emocionales haciendo un buen uso de la Educación Emocional por parte de las familias y desde los centros educativos para asegurar que los niños puedan reconocer, comprender, regular y gestionar eficazmente sus emociones y no sucumban ante pensamientos negativos que pueden generar conductas desadaptativas y perjudiciales para su salud física y mental. En este sentido, el presente trabajo pretende analizar la influencia de los contextos educativos más próximos a los adolescentes, con el fin de investigar los pensamientos, la autoestima y las conductas de estos jóvenes en función de su Educación Emocional. Para ello, se ha utilizado un cuestionario elaborado ad hoc, conformado por 60 ítems, divididos en tres bloques (escala tipo Likert, respuestas múltiples y pregunta abierta); que fue aplicado a una muestra de adolescentes (n=226) en una franja etaria entre 12 y 18 años de edad, alumnos de Educación Secundaria correspondientes a los cursos comprendidos desde 1º de la E.S.O. hasta 2º de Bachillerato. De entre los resultados más significativos podemos destacar que la empatía ha sido la subcategoría con mayor puntuación por parte de todos los cursos analizados, mientras que el control emocional ha sido la menor valorada también por cada uno de los cursos.Education must be conceived in a comprehensive manner, covering all aspects of the person, including, of course, those related to the emotions that the person and others experience. This statement has been increasing its importance, in such a way that, currently, Emotional Education has acquired a well-deserved relevance in all stages of life. Specifically, in adolescence this educational process is essential for young people to learn to know themselves and interact with people in a correct, positive and effective way. For this reason, emotional competencies must be developed from the earliest childhood, making good use of Emotional Education by families and educational centers to ensure that children can recognize, understand, regulate and effectively manage their emotions and do not succumb to negative thoughts that can generate maladaptive behaviors that are harmful to their physical and mental health. In this sense, the present work aims to analyze the influence of the educational contexts closest to adolescents, in order to investigate the thoughts, self-esteem and behaviors of these young people based on their Emotional Education. For that, an ad hoc questionnaire was used, consisting of 60 items, divided into three blocks (Likert-type scale, multiple responses and open questions); which was applied to a sample of adolescents (n=226) in an age group between 12 and 18 years old, Secondary Education students corresponding to school years from the 1st of E.S.O. and the 2nd of Secondary Graduate School. Among the most significant results we can highlight that empathy has been the subcategory with the highest score by all the school years analyzed, while emotional control has also been the lowest rated by each of them.peerReviewe
About the work of Roque Balduque in Lower Extremadura: the case of the Virgin of Llerena
No full textAbordamos la atribución de una talla mariana (mal) llamada Asunción, conservada en Llerena (Badajoz), a Roque de Balduque, imaginero flamenco. A través de un análisis comparativo con otras obras confirmadas del artista, identificamos claras analogías morfológicas en la disposición de las telas y los rasgos faciales, como la complejidad de los pliegues del manto y la posición de las manos, entre otros elementos. Propone-mos, además, tras la identificación de ciertos detalles iconográficos, que esta imagen representa un tipo temprano de Inmaculada en lugar de una Asunción. Concluimos que la actividad balduquiana en el sur de Extremadura se manifiesta de manera exclusiva en esta talla conservada en Llerena, posiblemente encargada desde Sevilla, que destaca por su calidad e impronta característica.This paper aims to prove the attribution of a Marian statue, (mis)named Assumption, lodged in Llerena (south-west Spain), to Flemish carver Roque de Balduque. By means of a comparative analysis with other known works of this master, several morphological anal-ogies in the arrangement of drapery and facial features are clearly identified, such as the complexity of the mantle folds, and the positioning of the hands, among other elements. It is furthermore stated that this image actually embodies an early type of Immaculate Con-ception rather than an Assumption, according to certain iconographic details. Hence Baldu-que’s activity in southern Extremadura is limited to this piece from Llerena, distinguished by its quality and distinctive imprint, and which was probably commissioned in Seville.peerReviewe
Evidencias de la asociación de la anquiloglosia con la asimetría corporal y sus repercusiones en bebés. Una revisión de alcance
No full textLa formación y maduración de los órganos, sistemas y biomecánica cuando se expone a contextos adversos intra o extrauterinos, pueden generar anomalías congénitas como la anquiloglosia, posible explicación de algunas asimetrías corporales y compromisos en la evolución neuropsicomotora. El estudio tuvo como objetivo mapear producciones científicas que verificaran la asociación entre la anquiloglosia, asimetrías y desarrollo neuropsicomotor en el primer año del bebé bajo la pregunta: ¿Cuáles son las evidencias científicas existentes sobre la asimetría corporal en bebés con anquiloglosia que impacten en el desarrollo neuropsicomotor? Se realizó una revisión de alcance con palabras clave como anquiloglosia, frenillo lingual, lengua anclada, asimetría corporal y postural, desarrollo motor en el primer año de vida, biomecánica y bebés típicos. Las bases de datos investigadas fueron MEDLINE, LILACS y SciELO, con descriptores registrados, incluyendo términos del MeSH y DeCS utilizando los operadores booleanos “OR” y “AND”. Se buscaron estudios realizados en la última década. Como no se encontró ningún artículo que incluyera todos los términos, se extendió la búsqueda a partir de 1900 y, aun así, no se encontraron artículos. Se definieron los tipos de estudios desde que se publicaron a partir de 1900, completos, realizados en cualquier lugar, con descarga gratuita, presentando las temáticas mencionadas anteriormente y estudios relativos a causas específicas. La investigación bibliográfica se realizó de diciembre de 2023 a febrero de 2024 y los artículos obtenidos fueron seleccionados, eliminando duplicados. Se extrajeron datos referentes al nombre del autor/año de publicación, lugar, objetivos, diseños de los estudios e intervenciones realizadas en la muestra. Estos fueron resumidos a través de una hoja de cálculo de Excel y el diagrama de flujo PRISMA. Se calificaron 25 artículos, analizados,codificados y subdivididos por áreas ya que no había artículos que contemplaran únicamente la temática.

The study aimed to map scientific productions that verified the association between ankyloglossia, asymmetries and neuro psychomotor development in the baby’s first year under the question: What scientific evidence exists on body asymmetry in babies with ankyloglossia that impacts neuro psychomotor development? A scoping review was carried out with keywords such as ankyloglossia, lingual frenulum, tongue tie, body and postural asymmetry, motor development in the first year of life, biomechanics and typical babies. The databases investigated were MEDLINE, LILACS SciELO, with registered descriptors, including terms from MeSH, DeCS using the Boolean operators “OR” and “AND”. Used studies carried out in the last decade. As no article was found comprising all the terms, the search was extended from 1900 onwards and, even so, no articles were found. The types of studies were defined since they were published from 1900 onwards, complete, carried out anywhere, with free download, presenting the aforementioned themes studies related to specific causes. The bibliographic research was carried out from December 2023 to February 2024 and the articles obtained were selected, duplicates removed. Data were extracted regarding author name/year of publication, location, objectives, study designs and interventions carried out in the sample. These were summarized using an Excel spreadsheet and the PRISMA flowchart. 25 articles were qualified, analyzed, coded and subdivided by areas as there were no articles that solely covered the theme. There are no studies in the literature that include scientific evidence regarding the presence of body asymmetry in babies with ankyloglossia that impacts their neuro psychomotor development.A formação e maturação dos órgãos, sistemas e biomecânica quando exposta a contextos adversos intra ou extra útero, podem gerar anomalias congênitas como a anquiloglossia, possível explicação de algumas assimetrias corporais e comprometimentos na evolução neuropsicomotora.
