Noise Management in the Archival Ecosystem Debating Principles for Classification*
No full textIncalculable amounts of data are collected at every second, in real time, by a huge number of sensors placed everywhere. Most of this data is stored and classified in different kinds of archives and databases. Despite the apparently objective nature of this information gathering, the task of archiving is a process of communication that involves both a distance between the source of knowledge and the knower and a long-term relationship with uncertainty: A message is extracted from an information source and is kept as a signal for a future, unknown recipient. Inevitably, many sources of “noise” surround archival procedures. Beyond noises generated by the importation and collection of data, there is another important source of archival noise: Misunderstanding. Translation is an essential and transversal procedure of the archival process. Data may come from uncontrolled sources, provoking a lack of formal coherence within the different stages of abstraction——categories, files, code——in which it is compile
From crisis to care: A phenomenological exploration of how frontline nurses lived the onset of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic
No full textPurpose: This paper explores how frontline nurses experienced the onset of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic to provide appropriate care during a global health crisis.
Design and methods: A qualitative descriptive phenomenological study. The sample consisted of 13 frontline nurses from Turkey, working in intensive care units, inpatient clinics and emergency unit. Data were collected online through face-to-face interviews based on a semi-structured interview guide. Data were analysed using thematic analysis.
Findings: Nurses experienced certain difficulties in the continuous use of protective personal equipment, communication both with patients and colleagues, administrative processes. Besides, they experienced exhaustion, reduced job satisfaction and certain physical complaints.
Conclusions: Hospital administrators and health policy makers should effectively manage human and hospital resources effectively and solve nurses' problems in times of crisis, such as pandemics.
Clinical relevance: Understanding the challenges faced by frontline nurses during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic may help healthcare practitioners and policy makers to implement targeted interventions, support mechanisms and resource allocation strategies that enhance the well-being of frontline nurses and optimise patient care delivery during health crises
Plantes medicinals per a tractar úlceres cròniques: revisió bibliogràfica i proposta terapèutica
No full textCurs 2024-2025Les ferides o úlceres cròniques son lesions a la pell amb baix nivell de cicatrització
influïdes per diferents comorbiditats i que triguen més de 6 setmanes en curar-se.
Afecten especialment a persones d’edat avançada i suposen una gran despesa pel
sistema sanitari de Catalunya.
L’objectiu principal del treball és realitzar una revisió bibliogràfica de les evidències
disponibles sobre l’ús de plantes medicinals per tractar ferides i úlceres cròniques,
centrant-me en les aplicacions i no tant en la biologia o la filogenètica de les plantes.
Finalment, es vol proposar un remei compost per diferents plantes com a possible
tractament.
La metodologia del treball està dividida en diferents parts: identificació inicial de plantes
medicinals amb propietats pel tractament de ferides, recull d’evidències provinents
d’articles científics, ja sigui amb resultats in vitro o in vivo sobre l’efectivitat de les plantes
seleccionades així com realització d’una enquesta a personal sanitari sobre les úlceres
cròniques.
En els resultats es van identificar 209 plantes amb propietats relacionades amb les
diferents fases de la cicatrització de ferides, pertanyents a 89 famílies diferents, les més
repetides van ser asteracea i fabaceae. La majoria de les plantes interfereixen en la fase
d’inflamació i proliferació. De la cerca inicial vaig seleccionar les 11 plantes més
mencionades en totes les fonts consultades per tal d'aprofundir-hi realitzant una cerca
exhaustiva en articles científics. Per a cada planta i article resultant vaig recollir-ne les
propietats principals, així com la part de la planta utilitzada i el mètode de preparació
dels extractes. L’enquesta a professionals sanitaris mostra que hi han úlceres que no
responen bé a tractaments convencionals per les quals tant professionals com pacients
acceptarien l’ús de plantes medicinals.
Per acabar, s’ha fet una proposta terapèutica consistent en un apòsit basat en els
extractes de Plantago major, Aloe barbadensis i Calendula officinalis.
Com a conclusió, he fet una proposta d’un preparat de plantes com a tractament
coadjuvant per fer front úlceres cròniques.Chronic wounds or ulcers are skin lesions with a low level of healing, influenced by
various comorbidities, and take more than six weeks to heal. They particularly affect
elderly individuals and represent a significant expense for the healthcare system in
Catalonia.
The main objective of this work is to conduct a bibliographic review of the available
evidence on the use of medicinal plants to treat chronic wounds and ulcers, focusing on
their applications rather than the biology or phylogenetics of the plants. Finally, the aim
is to propose a remedy composed of different plants as a potential treatment.
The methodology of the study is divided into different parts: initial identification of
medicinal plants with properties for wound treatment, collection of evidence from
scientific articles, whether in vitro or in vivo, regarding the effectiveness of the selected
plants, as well as conducting a survey among healthcare professionals about chronic
ulcers.
As a results, a total of 209 plants with properties related to the different phases of wound
healing were identified, belonging to 89 different families, with Asteraceae and Fabaceae
being the most represented. Most plants interfere in the inflammation and proliferation
phases. From the initial search, I selected the 11 plants most frequently mentioned
across all consulted sources to delve deeper through an exhaustive search of scientific
articles. For each plant and resulting article, I documented the main properties, the part
of the plant used, and the method of extract preparation.
The survey of healthcare professionals revealed that there are ulcers that do not respond
well to conventional treatments, for which both professionals and patients would accept
the use of medicinal plants.
Finally, a therapeutic proposal was developed consisting of a dressing based on extracts
from Plantago major, Aloe barbadensis, and Calendula officinalis.
To conclude, I proposed a plant-based preparation as an adjuvant treatment to address
chronic ulcer
He visto un concierto: Cómo el aspecto visual condiciona la definición de los gustos musicales en la adolescencia
No full textCurs 2024-2025La presente investigación profundiza en la formación del gusto musical y en los factores psicosociales que lo
influyen, poniendo especial atención en la adolescencia. Esta etapa, de por sí singular y compleja, merece un
enfoque específico, pues sus procesos y valores no se extienden a ninguna otra fase de la vida.
Con la intención de apoyar a la comunidad educativa que trabaja con jóvenes y busca cada vez más
personalizar sus propuestas, el estudio explora asimismo la influencia de la imagen y de toda la industria
mediática en la experiencia musical. Lejos de limitarse a la escucha, la música se ve atravesada por múltiples
estímulos, entre ellos el poder de la imagen.
El objetivo principal consiste en determinar qué papel desempeña la imagen en la formación de las
preferencias musicales durante la adolescencia, evaluando su verdadero impacto y examinando cómo podría
enriquecer, en lugar de empobrecer o estandarizar, la vivencia musical. Para ello, se presenta un marco
teórico amplio y multiperspectivo, junto con una sólida investigación de diseño mixto, cuantitativa y
cualitativa, que ofrece una visión integral de esta temática.
Palabras clave: gusto musical, adolescencia, factores psicosociales, imagen, industria mediática,
metodología mixta.This research delves into the formation of musical taste and the psychosocial factors that influence it, paying
special attention to adolescence. This stage, singular and complex in itself, deserves a specific approach,
since its processes and values do not extend to any other phase of life.
With the intention of supporting the educational community that works with young people and increasingly
seeks to personalize its proposals, the study also explores the influence of the image and the entire media
industry on the musical experience. Far from being limited to listening alone, music is traversed by multiple
stimuli, among them the power of the image.
The main objective is to determine what role the image plays in shaping musical preferences during
adolescence, assessing its true impact and examining how it could enrich, rather than impoverish or
standardize, the musical experience. To that end, a broad and multiperspective theoretical framework is
presented, along with a solid mixed-methods investigation, both quantitative and qualitative, that offers a
comprehensive view of this subject.

El tratamiento normativo de los símbolos oficiales en el entorno europeo: el caso de España y sus países cercanos
No full textEl artículo pretende justificar la vinculación del protocolo con las ciencias jurídicas y cómo dentro del protocolo oficial existen diferentes regulaciones legales que marcan las pautas de actuación en su ámbito. Se analizará de qué forma los países del entorno más cercano a España, concretamente Alemania, Francia, Italia y Portugal, regulan legalmente el protocolo oficial y concretamente en relación al uso de los símbolos oficiales: escudo, bandera e himno. De esta forma analizaremos si es posible establecer algún tipo de pauta general sobre la existencia o no de este tipo de regulaciones entre ellos y qué aspectos concretos relativos al uso de estos símbolos se establecen en cada uno de los casos. Finalmente mostraremos el grado de concreción que existe en esta normativa en España respecto a la que hemos encontrado en los otros países analizados.
The article seeks to justify the linkage of the protocol with the legal sciences and how within the official protocol there are different legal regulations that set the guidelines for action in their field. It will be analyzed how the countries closest to Spain, namely Germany, France, Italy and Portugal, legally regulate the official protocol and specifically in relation to the use of official symbols: shield, flag and anthem. In this way we will analyze if it is possible to establish some kind of general guideline on the existence or not of this type of regulations between them and what concrete aspects regarding the use of these symbols are established in each one of the cases. Finally we will show the degree of concreteness that exists in this legislation in Spain in relation to the one we have found in the other countries analyzed.The article seeks to justify the linkage of the protocol with the legal sciences and how within the official protocol there are different legal regulations that set the guidelines for action in their field.

Homonacionalisme a Europa i Catalunya: discursos, pràctiques i derives contemporànies
No full textL’homonacionalisme és un concepte que descriu com els drets LGTBIQ+ poden ser instrumentalitzats per reforçar projectes excloents. Aquest fenomen no significa que tota política LGTBIQ sigui necessàriament homonacionalista, però sí que algunes polítiques, discursos i pràctiques poden establir les bases per a la seva aparició. A Catalunya, com en altres contextos occidentals, es poden identificar tendències que poden donar lloc a expressions d’homonacionalisme. Aquest informe explora les manifestacions de l’homonacionalisme a Catalunya en el marc de l’estat espanyol i examina com certes polítiques públiques, discursos polítics i mediàtics, i pràctiques culturals poden contribuir, en diferents graus, a la seva consolidació

No full textEducación superior en alternancia transfronteriza entre Francia y España
No full textEn este estudio se pretende evidenciar que la educación en alternancia estimula la creación de empleo e incentiva la innovación acorde a la revolución tecnológica actual, en sintonía con las necesidades de nuestro tiempo en el territorio transfronterizo. Por este motivo se analizan 4 experiencias en la zona transfronteriza basadas en educación superior en alternancia a ambos lados de los Pirineos, como experiencias en sintonía con el modelo de la Triple Hélice. Las instituciones de educación superior implicadas en las cuatro experiencias son: Universidad de Mondragón, Universidad de Vic-Universidad Central de Catalunya (en España), la École Superieure des Technologies Industrielles Avancées (ESTIA) y la Escuela Universitaria de Management de la Université de Pau (en Francia). Nuestros hallazgos sugieren los elementos que debería incorporar un modelo de educación en alternancia transfronteriza, considerando los aspectos comunes y discrepantes del análisis de las 4 experiencias, y la pertinencia de utilizar esta innovación educativa para mejorar la empleabilidad y promover la incorporación de los alumnos al mercado laboral junto con el oportuno desarrollo regional, económico y social de las zonas analizadas
Protocol for Identifying and Retaining Critical Knowledge in a Public Health Administration
No full textThe Secretary of Public Health (SSP) faces a looming skills gap due to retirements and rotations
of civil service staff. Critical knowledge retention is crucial across all generational cohorts due to
the retirement and turnover of workers. This study develops a protocol that addresses the knowledge
retention needs of the four generations (Baby Boomers, X, Y, Z) that coexist in the workforce to ensure
the continuity of the Public Health Secretariat. The objective of the study is to develop a protocol for
the management, transfer, and retention of critical knowledge. A scoping review is conducted in Scopus
and Web of Science to develop the protocol, to identify critical knowledge workers through tool
scores. The instrument developed in this research includes two pilots on Baby Boomer and Millennial
workers. Both workers had critical and essential knowledge for the continuity of the organisation.
The Baby Boomer worker presented a higher amount of tacit, operational, and individually owned
knowledge, while the Millennial worker showed a predominance of tacit technological knowledge.
This protocol provides a practical and adaptable approach to identifying and prioritising critical
knowledge holders, allowing organisations to map and determine the amount of essential knowledge
within the workforce. An important limitation of the study is the small sample of workers who
participated in the pilot test of the protocol. Further research is therefore recommended in other
public administrations and across all generations in employment
