Neuroplasticity of spinal cord neurons based on piezoelectric stimulation and electrophysiological analysis after stem cell-derived progenitor transplant
No full textRepair strategies in the context of spinal cord injury cover a broad amount of fields. Different approaches have been considered ranging from the chemical, mechanical, pharmacological, material sciences, electrical and chemical engineering sphere. There is much interest in combinational therapies since many approaches yield promising results yet none is beneficial enough in functional terms. There is also a necessity of properly evaluate the improvement these therapies pose from a functional point of view and do it with sufficient resolution to target and invest in strategies with higher potential. This thesis is born with the interest of contributing to the spinal cord injury field at those two levels. On one side, I have developed an injury model and techniques to test the efficacy of a therapy for spinal cord repair as compared to controls. On the other, I have proposed a combinational therapy in the form of a scaffold that combines biomaterials and electrical fields to stimulate regeneration In the first part of this thesis, I have developed an animal model to test effectiveness of treatment by analyzing the electromyography signal of the intercostal muscles. The respiratory system is a good test bench, usually neglected in regeneration studies. I have used a mix of engineering approaches from signal processing to animal physiology analysis to provide the test with enough resolution to identify improvement. Then, I have proved the efficacy of the model by using a stem cell therapy. In the second part of the thesis, I have tested piezoelectric polymers as a useful platform to deliver electrical fields to neurons. I have shown the resulting increase in neuronal growth upon exposure to alternating electrical fields, in concrete, in neuronal branching. These results encourage the use of biocompatible piezoelectric polymers which are very versatile in nature, as a source for combinational therapies. Future studies will translate this in vitro model into an in vivo treatment which will be assessed with the strategy explained in the first part.Ph.

LA ADOPCIÓN CHINA EN EL ALFABETO DE LOS PÁJAROS DE NURIA BARRIOS
No full textIn the novel El alfabeto de los pájaros by Nuria Barrios, the author creates a child’s fantasy world using literary language and symbolism to show the psychological adjustment of an adopted child named Nix to her family environment. In order to talk about her adoption, Nix and her mother invent stories that they tell each other, using a repetitive, musical and symbolic language. By using these techniques, Barrios creates an atmosphere of self-discovery for the girl and her mother where they are able to tell the story of Nix’s origin in a new way so that Nix can adapt emotionally to her position as adopted daughter. This article analyzes how the author presents the psychological process of adoption through the use of literary language.
Resumen
En la novela El alfabeto de los pájaros de Nuria Barrios, la autora crea un mundo infantil de fantasía a través del uso del lenguaje y del simbolismo para mostrar el ajuste psicológico de una niña llamada Nix a su ambiente familiar. Para poder hablar de su adopción, Nix y su madre inventan historias que se cuentan, utilizando un lenguaje repetitivo, musical y simbólico. Así, recurriendo a estas técnicas, Barrios crea un ambiente de autodescubrimiento para la niña y su madre, en donde ambas pueden contar la historia del origen de Nix de una forma nueva para que ella se adapte emocionalmente a su posición como hija adoptiva. Considerando lo anterior, este artículo analizará cómo la autora presenta el proceso psicológico de la adopción mediante el uso del lenguaje literario

The dicyclopropylzirconocene complex [Cp2Zr(c-C3H5)(2)](1) eliminates cyclopropane to generate the (2)-cyclopropene/bicyclobutane intermediate [Cp2Zr((2)-c-C3H4)](A). A does not activate any pyridine C-H bonds, but rather pyridine inserts into a Zr-C bond of A, yielding an azazirconacycle with a dearomatized pyridyl group [Cp2Zr\(2)-N,C-8-(2-c-C3H4)-C5H5N\](2). Kinetic data, isotopelabelling experiments, and DFT calculations indicate that the rate-determining step of this stereospecific reaction is cyclopropane elimination, and that the stability of the intermediate [Cp2Zr((2)-c-C3H4)(NC5H5)](A-py) governs the selectivity of the reaction. Complex2 tautomerizes to [Cp2Zr\(2)-N,C-8-(2-C3H5)-C5H4N\](6) through a base-catalyzed proton migration accompanied by cyclopropyl opening and restoration of conjugation within the zirconacycle

Intervention programs in Educational Psychology: Bridging research and practice
No full textEl término intervención basada en evidencia se está utilizando cada vez más en la investigación educativa. La necesidad de llevar a cabo programas de intervención basados en evidencia científica se fundamenta en que la probabilidad de lograr resultados positivos al implementar dichos programas es mayor. Sin embargo, la brecha entre la investigación y la práctica se mantiene en los países de habla hispana. Utilizando ejemplos del área de investigación en lectura, este trabajo tiene como objetivo promover la reflexión y la discusión sobre la relación entre la evidencia científica y la práctica educativa, particularmente en el contexto de los países hispanohablantes. Por un lado, existe la importancia de generar evidencia a través del diseño de estudios de alta calidad basados tanto en sólidos antecedentes teóricos como en altos estándares metodológicos. Por otro lado, existe el valor de la experiencia profesional de los profesores en realidades escolares muy diversas. ¿Cómo podemos construir puentes para conectar estas dos partes indispensables y atender mejor a las poblaciones de interés? Defendemos la necesidad de desarrollar un sistema de colaboración sostenible entre la comunidad científica y la educativa que permita el inter-cambio continuo y un apoyo recíproco mediante relaciones más estables.The term evidence-based intervention has been increasingly used in educational research. Calls for the use of intervention programs based on supportive empirical evidence rely in the recognition that the likelihood of achieving positive results when implementing such programs increases. Nevertheless, the gap between research and practice remains also in Spanish-speaking countries. Using examples from the area of reading research, this work aims at promoting the reflection and discussion about the relationship between scientific evidence and school practice, particularly in the context of Spanish-speaking countries. On the one side, there is the importance of generating evidence through the design of high-quality studies based on both sound theoretical background and high methodological standards. On the other side, there is the value of professional experience gathered by the teachers in very diverse school realities. How can we build a bridge to connect these two indispensable parts in order to be able to better serve the populations of interest? We defend the need of developing a sustainable collaborative system between the research community and the educational centers that enables continuous exchange and reciprocal support in longer lasting relationships.This study was partially funded by the UE Marie-Sklodowska-Curie Actions FP7-PEOPLE-2007-1-

Intervención en atención temprana: enfoque desde el ámbito familiar
No full textWidespread consensus exists on the importance of early care during childhood, especially for children with developmental
disorders or those who are at risk of developing such a disorder. Early intervention programs have been developed,
which involve a relatively recent intervention model. The home environment has recently become the focus of
attention and has acquired a key role in care programs during the first years of life. However, a variety of professional
practices have arisen in this regard and questions remain in relation to their function. This article analysed the development
of early care intervention, its role, and intervention programs, and examined the role of the family in early care
for children. The most relevant studies are reviewed and new lines of action are proposed.Existe un gran consenso sobre la importancia de prestar una adecuada atención durante los primeros años a la población
infantil, con problemas en el desarrollo o con riesgo de padecer algún trastorno. En este contexto tienen lugar
los programas de Atención Temprana, cuya disciplina supone un modelo de intervención relativamente reciente.
En los últimos años se ha situado el entorno familiar en el foco de atención, adquiriendo éste un papel clave en los
programas de atención durante los primeros años de vida. No obstante, se observan prácticas profesionales diversas y
aún quedan algunas interrogantes en relación a su función. El propósito de este trabajo es analizar la evolución que ha
tenido la Atención Temprana su papel en la actualidad, los programas de intervención, así como el papel de la familia
dentro del marco de la Atención Temprana. Se revisan los estudios más relevantes en el área y se proponen nuevas
líneas de actuación
