Sally Rooney’s Normal People: the millennial novel of formation in recessionary Ireland
Get PDFSally Rooney’s second novel, Normal People (2018), tells the story of two teenagers who become involved in a complicated sexual and affective relationship that lasts from their school days in a small town, into their dynamic and worldly lives at university in Dublin. Set in Post-Celtic Tiger Ireland, this coming-of-age novel experiments with form and content to explore the problematic articulation of identity formation in recessionary Ireland. The emancipatory process of the protagonists is framed by specific cultural notions of the neoliberal discourse such as material success, consumerism and body commodification, which unveil practices of social class inequality and gender polarisation. Normal People, embedded with power and loss, displays emotional suffering, guilt, and self-harm to render the damaging effects of individuation and materiality upon the millennial generation in contemporary Ireland

Diseño Universal para el Aprendizaje aplicado a personas con Trastorno del espectro autista (TEA) Síndrome de asperger
No full textComunicación presentada en: VI Congreso Internacional sobre Innovación Pedagógica y Praxis Educativa (INNOVAGOGÍA 2022), celebrado online, del 25 al 27 de mayo de 2022.Uno de los principales restos actuales en el sistema educativo es garantizar la calidad de la educación de todos los estudiantes. La incorporación a las aulas del alumnado con necesidades educativas especiales ha sido un logro; pero se debe garantizar que puedan formar parte en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje y que reciban una educación apropiada a sus capacidades. Un Diseño Universal de Aprendizaje hace frente a la diversidad en el aula mediante la promoción de modificaciones en los currículos, dirigidas a ofrecer opciones y a flexibilizar objetivos, contenidos, materiales y métodos de evaluación. Para todo ello se presenta una propuesta realizada bajo los principios y pautas del DUA y enfocada a tres áreas académicas troncales destinada a personas con Síndrome de Asperger
Notch fracture predictions using the Phase Field method for Ti-6Al-4V produced by Selective Laser Melting after different post-processing conditions
Get PDFTi-6Al-4V is a titanium alloy with excellent properties for lightweight applications and its production through Additive Manufacturing processes is attractive for different industrial sectors. In this work, the influence of mechanical properties on the notch fracture resistance of Ti-6Al-4V produced by Selective Laser Melting is numerically investigated. Literature data is used to inform material behaviour. The as-built brittle behaviour is compared to the enhanced ductile response after heat treatment (HT) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) post-processes. A Phase Field framework is adopted to capture damage nucleation and propagation from two different notch geometries and a discussion on the influence of fracture energy and the characteristic length is carried out. In addition, the influence of oxygen uptake is analysed by reproducing non-inert atmospheres during HT and HIP, showing that oxygen shifts fracture to brittle failures due to the formation of an alpha case layer, especially for the V-notch geometry. Results show that a pure elastic behaviour can be assumed for the as-built SLM condition, whereas elastic-plastic phenomena must be modelled for specimens subjected to heat treatment or hot isostatic pressing. The present brittle Phase Field framework coupled with an elastic-plastic constitutive analysis is demonstrated to be a robust prediction tool for notch fracture after different post-processing routes.Financial support from the Junta of Castile and Leon through grant BU-002-P20, co-financed by FEDER funds.

Laboratory Experiment on Emulsions: Study of the Effect of Osmotic Pressure on Double Emulsions Preparation
Get PDFDouble emulsions are ternary systems commonly used in several disciplines in areas such
as food technology, applied chemistry, chemical engineering, materials science, pharmacology and
environmental science. In several courses related to these areas, the implementation of laboratory experiment is required to strengthen the knowledge acquired by students during the theoretical lessons.
However, it is difficult to find published practical experiments in this field. This work presents a
four-hour hands-on laboratory experiment in which students can easily formulate and prepare waterin-oil-in-water double emulsions for vitamin B12 encapsulation. In this experiment, students can
analyze the effect of the osmotic pressure produced by the addition of different NaCl concentrations
in each aqueous phase, which could lead to the swelling and deswelling phenomena of the inner
aqueous droplets and, therefore, affect the encapsulation efficiency of the formulated systems. The
double emulsions are analyzed by the students in terms of size and encapsulation efficienc
Bullying in Adolescents: Differences between Gender and School Year and Relationship with Academic Performance
Get PDFSchool bullying is a phenomenon of unjustified aggression in the school environment
that is widespread throughout the world and with serious consequences for both the bully and
the bullied. The objectives of this research were to analyze the differences between the different
bullying categories by gender and academic year in primary and secondary education students,
as well as their relationship with academic performance. To categorize students according to their
bullying experiences, the European Bullying Intervention Project (EBIPQ) Questionnaire was used.
The Chi-square test was used to compare the scores obtained by the students in the EBIPQ based
on gender and academic year, and the one-way ANOVA test was used to analyze its relationship
with academic performance. Research participants were 562 students from the 5th (n = 228) and
6th (n = 186) primary school years and the 1st (n = 134) and 2nd (n = 94) secondary school years.
They were males (50.5%) and females (49.5%) ranging in ages from 10 to 15 years old (mean = 11.66,
standard deviation = 1.206). The results showed statistically significant differences in gender and
academic year, indicating a greater number of boys in the role of the bully/victim and girls in that of
non-bully/non-victim. The most aggressive students were in the 2nd year of ESO (12–13 years old).
Regarding academic performance, statistically significant differences were obtained that confirm the
hypothesis that performance or average grade varies according to the category of bullying in which
students find themselves. The academic performance of the non-bully/non-victim and those in the
victim category was found to be higher than that of bullies and bully/victim students
Impact of Activity-Oriented Propioceptive Antiedema Therapy on the Health-Related Quality of Life of Women with Upper-Limb Lymphedema Secondary to Breast Cancer—A Randomized Clinical Trial
Get PDFAlterations derived from lymphedema in the upper-limb secondary to breast
cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) decrease the health-related quality of life (HRQoL), but there
is limited evidence of the impact of the different interventions on it. The aim of this research was
to compare the effect of conventional treatment with another treatment based on Activity-Oriented
Antiedema Proprioceptive Therapy (TAPA) on HRQoL in women diagnosed with BCRL.This research was funded by the Call for research and innovation projects in the field of primary care, regional hospitals and high-resolution hospital centres of the Public Health System of Andalusia in 2021 by the Progreso y Salud Foundation, of the Ministry of Health and Families of the Junta de Andalucía, with EXP.

Ergo-Nutritional Intervention in Basketball: A Systematic Review
Get PDFUsing nutritional supplements is a widespread strategy among basketball players to
ensure the appropriate provision of energy and nutrients to avoid certain complaints. Particularly in
basketball, there is no consensus on the type, quantity or form of use in which these supplements
should be administered. Therefore, the main aim of this systematic review is to highlight the ergonutritional aids that may be effective in basketball. A structured search was carried out following the
Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA®) guidelines in the
Medline/PubMed and Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus databases until 31 December
2021; no year restriction was applied to the search strategy. There were no filters applied to the
basketball players’ level, gender, race, or age to increase the power of the analysis. The results of this
systematic review have shown that the effective dose of caffeine to enhance anaerobic performance
and the feeling of vigorousness and energy ranges from 3 to 6 mg·kg−1
, showing more positive
effects when is supplemented 60–75 min before exercise in the morning and in test-based task. On
the other hand, vitamin E (ranging from 200 to 268 mg), vitamin D (10,000 IU) and EPA (2 g) may
have a potential role in recovery and wellness. The primary limitation of this study is the scarcity
of studies related to nutritional supplementation in basketball players. However, a major strength
is that this is the first systematic review describing what ergo-nutritional aids may be specifically
helpful for basketball. Despite the need for future studies, certain nutritional supplements may have
promising advantages for basketball (long-term supplementation of nitrates for recovery), whereas
others (β-alanine, sodium bicarbonate, and acute nitrate supplementation) might theoretically be
regarded as not interesting for basketball, or even not recommended by the World Anti-Doping
Agency (WADA) as bovine colostrum
