La tecnologia aplicada a l’educació. Disseny i construcció de caixes d'aprenentatge destinades als infants
No full textTutor: Toni Hernández; Centre: Institut de VilablareixEducation has been evolving over the years, and during this period, it has become evident
that there are various resources and methods useful in developing children’s learning
processes (that aid in children's learning development). In order to promote the
understanding of new knowledge and concepts in an autonomous way and, therefore,
improve traditional systems, a new educational resource called learning boxes has been
created.
Three learning boxes have been constructed with the aim of working on STEAM-related
concepts. The goal is to create a new educational resource with a lower cost than those
already available on the market. The first box focuses on the concepts of simple machines,
the second one on mechanisms of motion transmission and transformation, and the third
one on pneumatics. If we unfold the tree boxes, all of them can be connected by a road,
simulating a city. Furthermore, all the boxes also incorporate an electronic board called
Micro:Bit to facilitate new knowledge of robotics.
Before creating my own educational resource, I analyzed how children used educational
resources from various existing commercial brands. From these trials, I was able to draw
different conclusions (advantages and disadvantages), which I later applied to my final
project to achieve better results.
Finally, after creating the educational material, I also implemented these learning boxes
effectively, confirming my hypothesis that not all children learn in the same way. This is why I
managed to meet the initial objectives: to teach new knowledge to children by highlighting
technological and robotic concepts through practical projectsL'educació ha anat evolucionant al llarg dels anys i, durant aquest període, s'ha fet evident
que hi ha diversos recursos i mètodes útils per desenvolupar els processos d'aprenentatge dels infants
(que ajuden al desenvolupament de l'aprenentatge dels infants). Per tal de promoure la
comprensió de nous coneixements i conceptes de manera autònoma i, per tant,
millorar els sistemes tradicionals, s'ha
creat un nou recurs educatiu anomenat caixes d'aprenentatge.
S'han construït tres caixes d'aprenentatge amb l'objectiu de treballar conceptes relacionats amb STEAM.
L'objectiu és crear un nou recurs educatiu amb un cost inferior als que
ja hi ha disponibles al mercat. La primera caixa se centra en els conceptes de màquines simples,
la segona en mecanismes de transmissió i transformació del moviment i la tercera
en pneumàtica. Si despleguem les caixes d'arbre, totes es poden connectar per una carretera,
simulant una ciutat. A més, totes les caixes també incorporen una placa electrònica anomenada
Micro:Bit per facilitar nous coneixements de robòtica.
Abans de crear el meu propi recurs educatiu, vaig analitzar com els infants utilitzaven recursos educatius
de diverses marques comercials existents. A partir d'aquestes proves, vaig poder extreure
diferents conclusions (avantatges i desavantatges), que posteriorment vaig aplicar al meu projecte final
per aconseguir millors resultats.
Finalment, després de crear el material educatiu, també vaig implementar aquestes caixes d'aprenentatge
de manera efectiva, confirmant la meva hipòtesi que no tots els nens aprenen de la mateixa manera. És per això que vaig
aconseguir complir els objectius inicials: ensenyar nous coneixements als nens destacant
conceptes tecnològics i robòtics a través de projectes pràctics.Treball premiat en la categoria de treballs de recerca en l'àmbit de tecnologia de la 26a edició dels Premis a Treballs de Recerca d'Estudiants de Batxillerat, atorgats pel Consell Social de la Ud

Desigualtats de gènere i ètnia als serveis d'urgències hospitalaris i anàlisi de la interseccionalitat : revisió bibliogràfica
No full textIntroduction: Hospital emergency services play a key role within the healthcare
system. However, several studies point out that inequalities exist in the care
received depending on factors such as gender, ethnicity, or social class. These
inequalities, often linked to implicit and structural biases, can affect the health
outcomes of certain groups. In light of this reality, it is necessary to incorporate a
gender and intersectional perspective to understand how these axes of
discrimination are maintained and interact.
Objectives: To identify the main inequalities affecting users of hospital
emergency services and their impact on their health.
Methodology: Bibliographic review. The databases Medline PubMed, Scielo,
Scopus, APA PsycInfo and Dialnet were consulted during March and April 2025.
Results: A total of 18 studies were included in the review. The results reveal
significant inequalities in the care received in emergency services based on
gender and ethnicity, particularly in intensive treatments, pain management,
triage processes, and discriminatory treatment. These biases negatively affect
the quality of care and health outcomes. Several studies highlight the need for an
intersectional approach and specific training to ensure more equitable care.
Conclusions: It is necessary to incorporate gender perspective and anti-racism
training for emergency staff, review protocols to detect biases, implement tools
for identifying discrimination, collect disaggregated data, and establish spaces for
reflective supervision within units to promote more ethical and respectful care.
Further studies with a gender perspective are neededPremi millor Treball Fi de Grau en Infermeria amb perspectiva de Gènere (Institut Català de les Dones)3
Bacterièmia associada a la Oxigenació per Membrana Extra-Corpòria: factors associats, mesures preventives i intervencions infermeres. Revisió bibliogràfica
No full textThe presence of viable bacteria in the bloodstream is a particularly relevant complication in people in a critical state; in the context of Extra-Corporate Membrane Oxigenation (ECMO), its incidence is very important since it can trigger a set of significant clinical, healthcare and economic repercussions. The global expansion of therapy (in more than 600 centers in 2024), makes it essential to understand and prevent this infection. Goals: Of the work has been; to identify and analyze the risk factors associated with a higher risk of bacteriemia and at the same time, to describe and synthesize nursing interventions aimed at the prevention of this pathology, in people with extra-corporeal support. Metodology: A systematic bibliographic review has been carried out in accordance with the PRISMA guide. Studies have been searched (2019-2025) in PubMed, CINAHL or Cochrane using MeSH descriptors related to therapy and bacteriemia. A set of criteria and a critical evaluation have been applied to collect the articles with more evidence. 23 articles have been included. Outcomes: Where the most consistent risk factors have been: the prolonged duration of the support, the clinical severity of the person, the ECMO-VA modality, hemodialysis, diabetes and canulation outside the operating room. Preventive strategies with the best risk-benefit balance include standardization of the canulation process, antisepsy with chlorhexidine, insertion point care, 1:1 nursing-person ratio and active microbiological surveillance. Conclusión: Bacteriemia in ECMO is frequent and multifactorial. The evidence supports a multimodal, protocolized and nursing-led preventive approach to reduce ICU stay and morbidity. Multicenter trials are required to define the optimal duration of the support and the appropriate use of antimicrobial prophylaxis
Cartografías de artistas. El mapa como elemento cultural trans-geográfico. De Opicinus de Canistris (1350) a Susan Hiller (1980)
No full textENG- This study offers a historical analysis tracing the diverse cultural forms that have emerged from cartographic practices within Europe from the Middle Ages to the 1970s. It focuses on the ways in which these practices are intricately linked to the intellectual and sociopolitical contexts of their respective periods, as well as their role in driving epistemological transformations over time. The research not only illustrates how cartographic rationality has shaped European knowledge systems and subjectivities, converted knowledge into scientific discourse, structured the actions of state regulatory bureaucracies, and supported colonial expansion, but also, as this study reveals, how geography, as a foundational concept, and cartography, as both language and method, have intervened in the collective imagination. This intervention has engendered a wide array of cultural forms that, over the centuries, have permeated everyday life and influenced behavioral norms across European societies. These processes developed and solidified during the Renaissance and Enlightenment, spanning from the 15th to the 19th centuries, when conceptions of space were grounded in the idea of absolute space. The same holds true when this notion, along with the absolutist framework that shaped social, economic, and cultural relations, reached its dissolution in the 20th century. The study further examines the cartographic practices of artists from this period, up to the 1970s, who either contested, interrogated, or subverted conventional representations of the world and the logics underpinning them, or repurposed these frameworks to propose alternative logics and modelsCAT- Aquesta investigació ofereix un recorregut històric que mostra les diverses formes culturals que sorgeixen de les pràctiques cartogràfiques a l’àmbit europeu des de l’Edat Mitjana fins als anys 70 del segle XX. S’examina la seva articulació amb el pensament i el context sociopolític de cada època, així com el seu paper en les transformacions epistèmiques al llarg del temps. La investigació no només revela com la raó cartogràfica ha configurat el saber i la subjectivitat europeus, ha transformat el coneixement en ciència, ha modelat l’acció de les burocràcies reguladores de l’Estat i ha sostingut l’expansió colonial; sinó que, a més, com veurem, la geografia, com a germen, i la cartografia, com a llenguatge o mètode, han intervingut en l’imaginari col·lectiu, donant lloc a una multitud de formes culturals que, al llarg dels segles, han permeat la vida quotidiana i han impulsat modes de conducta entre els europeus. Aquests fenòmens es desenvolupen i consoliden durant el Renaixement i la Il·lustració, és a dir, entre els segles XV i XIX, període en què la noció d’espai correspon a l’espai absolut; i succeeix de manera similar quan aquesta noció d’espai i la concepció absolutista, sobre la qual es va modelar una xarxa de relacions socials, econòmiques i culturals, arriben a la seva fi al segle XX. En aquest segle, s’analitzen, fins als anys 70, les pràctiques cartogràfiques dels artistes que, o bé contesten, qüestionen o tergiversen les representacions del món i les lògiques que se’n deriven, o bé les utilitzen per proposar altres lògiques i altres modelsPrograma de Doctorat en Ciències Humanes, del Patrimoni i de la Cultur
Implementació d’un programa de salut sobre alimentació saludable en dones amb síndrome de l’ovari poliquístic: assaig clínic. Projecte de recerca no finalitzat
No full textIntroduction: According to the WHO, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) affects
between 8% and 13% of women of reproductive age worldwide. In fact, it is
considered the most common endocrine disorder in women within this age group and
one of the leading causes of infertility. Women with PCOS have an increased risk of
developing metabolic syndromes, including hyperglycemia, insulin resistance,
hypertension, obesity, and dyslipidemia, as well as mental health disorder such as
depression and anxiety.
Despite its high prevalence and its significant impact on both physical and emotional
health, no specific pharmacological treatment currently exists for PCOS. In 98% of
cases, oral contraceptives are used as the primary therapeutic approach. However,
scientific evidence emphasizes that healthy lifestyle is a fundamental pillar in the
management of PCOS.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a health education program focused on
health eating in improving well-being and quality of life of women diagnosed with
polycystic ovary syndrome.
Methodology: A randomized controlled clinical trial involving women diagnosed with
PCOS, all residing in the province of Girona. The research will be carried out by
consist a multidisciplinary team composed of nurses, nutritionists, and psychologists,
all specialized in community health and sexual and reproductive health.
The study will consist of three phases: initial assessment of the sample, followed by a
seven-week intervention phase, and concludes with a ten-month follow-up phase.
At the start, all participants will attend an individual, in-person consultation at the
ASSIR unit of Santa Clara Primary Care Center (CAP). This initial visit will include a
clinical anamnesis, blood tests, a nutritional assessment, and a psycho-emotional
evaluation.
The intervention program is designed according to a biopsychosocial model, taking
into account the age, cultural background, and socioeconomic context of the
participants3
La realitat virtual per prevenir les alteracions psicològiques associades a la síndrome post cures intensives: assaig clínic. Projecte de recerca
No full textPost-intensive care syndrome is defined as a set of physical, cognitive, and
psychological impairments that may appear, either together or separately, after
an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission, affecting up to 70% of survivors. In light
of the lack of effective preventive strategies, the present clinical trial aims to
evaluate whether immersive virtual reality within the ICU setting may be a useful
tool to prevent the psychological disorders associated with this syndrome, which
are those that most significantly impact quality of life after discharge. In the
present project, a randomized clinical trial is proposed with two groups of 63
participants each, to be conducted with adults admitted to the ICU of the
Hospital Universitari Dr. Josep Trueta following scheduled cardiac surgery. The
intervention group will carry out daily 15-minute virtual reality sessions using a
device that simulates relaxing natural environments, while the control group will
receive standard nursing care. The primary outcome variables are anxiety,
depression, post-traumatic stress, pain, and sleep quality, which will be
assessed at different time points: Preoperatively, during the first and second
days of ICU stay, before ICU discharge, and at two and four months after
discharge. It is expected that virtual reality will contribute to a significant
improvement in the studied parameters in both the short and long term and
promote the well-being of ICU patients, with good acceptance and tolerance
Estudio comparativo de la percepción del sexismo en la lengua
No full textThis work is an investigation that aims to determine the perceptions of how students in the Primary and Early childhood Education degree have about non-sexist language. We understand as a non-sexist language the use of resources such as gender splitting, the use of generic terms, the use as well of the so-called “generic feminine”, etc. The initial hypothesis is that widespread presence of these resources in texts in the field of education,
along with factors related to instruction on the use of this type of language, will increase the perceptions that the generic masculine is sexist. This study will be carried out through surveys students in the Education degree at the University of Girona. It will seek to determine which factors influence students’ perceptions of this type of language4
El spondylus: piedra angular del intercambio a larga distancia en la américa prehispánica
No full textEl presente trabajo analiza el papel del Spondylus, un molusco marino de gran valor simbólico y económico, en las dinámicas de intercambio a larga distancia desarrolladas en América prehispánica. A través de una revisión bibliográfica sistemática, se reconstruyen las trayectorias de circulación del Spondylus entre Mesoamérica y el Área Andina, considerando tanto su contexto ecológico como su inserción en redes de interacción cultural. El estudio aborda la evolución histórica de su uso, su hábitat natural y las técnicas especializadas de extracción y manufactura desarrolladas por diferentes culturas del Pacífico precolombino.
Se examina el rol del Spondylus como bien de prestigio y objeto ritual en sistemas económicos complejos, caracterizados por formas de redistribución, reciprocidad y tributo en especies. Asimismo, se analiza su función dentro de las economías de prestigio, donde la acumulación, transformación y circulación de bienes simbólicos consolidaban el poder de las élites. Mediante el estudio comparado de fuentes arqueológicas y etnohistóricas, se evidencia cómo el Spondylus operó como nexo material y simbólico entre distintas regiones y sociedades, participando en procesos de legitimación política, ritualización del poder político y religioso y la construcción de redes interregionales.
El trabajo permite comprender cómo un recurso marino restringido geográficamente adquirió una centralidad singular en el tejido económico y espiritual de civilizaciones alejadas miles de kilómetros de su hábitat natural, y pone en valor su relevancia en los mecanismos de articulación cultural en el mundo prehispánico.
Lactància materna i depressió postpart: avaluació del risc en un estudi de cohorts prospectiu. Projecte de recerca
No full textIntroduction: Postpartum depression is a prevalent and often underdiagnosed mental health disorder that affects women during the first year after childbirth. This study examines its multifactorial etiology, clinical manifestations, risk factors, and the severe repercussions it has on the mother, the infant, and the family environment, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate intervention. Breastfeeding is recognized for its significance in the health of both the infant and the mother, providing optimal nutrition, protecting against diseases, and promoting cognitive development. Despite its benefits, the global prevalence of breastfeeding remains low due to various social, economic, and cultural factors influencing its practice.
Objective: The primary objective of this project is to assess the association between breastfeeding and the risk of developing postpartum depression during the first 12 months. Secondary objectives include determining the incidence of postpartum depression in mothers who breastfeed compared to those who do not, identifying sociodemographic and clinical factors that may increase the risk of the condition, and evaluating the impact of the duration of breastfeeding on reducing the risk of developing the disorder.
Methodology: It is a prospective cohort observational and analytical study to be conducted in the Girona Health Region, including Primary Care Centers (CAP) and Sexual and Reproductive Health Services (ASSIR). The study population will consist of mothers who meet the established inclusion and exclusion criteria. A sample of 498 participants will be recruited using consecutive non-probabilistic sampling. Data will be collected through a self-administered ad hoc questionnaire, which will include sociodemographic variables, breastfeeding practices, and mental health, as well as the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) to assess depressive symptoms. Follow-up will be conducted at 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postpartum341
