Políticas urbanas de intervención en el Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México bajo el modelo de Estado Neoliberal, 1989-2010

La transición de un modelo de Estado a otro ha significado para la política urbana la modificación de sus formas de ocupar e intervenir los núcleos históricos en temas relacionados con la vivienda, la rehabilitación del patrimonio y el espacio público, lo cual ha motivado la construcción de nuevos valores para interpretar la significación cultural del lugar. La cuestión que se plantea desarrollar en este trabajo tiene como marco a los planes y programas de la política urbana neoliberal para determinar: cómo la lógica de actuación del Estado ha contribuido al proceso de revalorización y transformación espacial del Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México, durante el periodo de 1989-2010. Las conclusiones obtenidas expresan la visión elitista con que la política urbana neoliberal ha reformado ciertas áreas del centro histórico en favor del desarrollo económico e inmobiliario, pero ajena a las demandas de infraestructura y seguridad de los barrios populares. Dicha disparidad ha sido causa de conflictos que han alimentado la percepción de un centro histórico fragmentado por la inequidad de resultados de una política urbana que no ha comprendido que la valorización de un territorio pasa por la construcción de una visión unitaria que dicte una intervención equilibrada sobre el patrimonio, sus funciones sociales, prácticas culturales y rescate de su tradición

Influence of emotional intelligence on performance in an emotionally Laden Cognitive Task: an ERP Study.

A higher level of emotional intelligence (EI), understood as a greater ability to perceive, use, understand, and manage emotions, is associated with an increase in performance on emotionally laden cognitive tasks. The main objective of this research was to study the neural basis underlying the execution of an emotional cognitive control task (GoNogo) as a function of ability EI. Forty-four participants were divided into two groups depending on EI level (High EI vs. Low EI). The participants’ task consisted of an emotional face GoNogo task, in which happy, fear and neutral facial expressions were the go and no go stimulus. Results showed a larger N170 and smaller N2 amplitude for the low EI group than for the high EI one. Greater levels of cognitive control were associated to participants with high EI. Our findings show the importance of studying emotion and cognition interaction to explain our behavior and performance.

Emotional intelligence and hot and cool working memory capacity

Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the ability to perceive, use, understand and manage our emotions and the emotions of others. EI, measured through performance-based ability models, seems to favour performance on hot tasks. The aim of the present study is to analyse the relationship between EI, measured through its three main models, and performance on a hot (emotional) and cool (non-emotional) working memory task. 203 undergraduate students of psychology took part in the experiment. They completed an EI test for each of its three main models (performance-based ability model, self-report ability model and self-report mixed model) and a hot and cool working memory task. We found a better performance for higher EI participants, measured through the performance-based ability model instrument (but not with self-report instruments), in the hot working memory task. This result was obtained for the managing branch of the EI instrument. Similar evidence was not found when using the cool working memory task. Our study takes a step forward in the conceptualization of the EI construct within the domain of cognitive processes. They show that, at least when using hot stimuli, the managing branch of the performance-based ability model of EI is a better determinant measure for the working memory capacity than the self-report models.Universidad de Málaga.

Are psychopaths emotionally intelligent?

Psychopathy is a serious personality disorder, characterized by proneness to low anxiety, egocentricity, failure to form close emotional bonds, superficial charm and dishonesty, that has very negative consequences for society as aggression, delinquency and even crime. Therefore, its control and treatment are of great importance. Psychopathy has been related to important emotional deficits as such as a lack of impulse, low empathy and deficits in moral expressions. These findings have led to a growing interest in exploring if psychopathic traits are associated with emotional intelligence (EI) or to the ability to perceive, use, understand, and regulate emotions in one’s self and others. However, the literature exploring this association has revealed conflicting results. The aim of the present study was to provide a reliable estimate of the relationship between psychopathy traits and EI (measured as performance-based ability) through meta-analysis. A quantitative and systematic review of the literature using Scopus, Medline, Pubmed, and PsicINFO and for both Spanish and English studies that included measures of EI and psychopathy, showed a total of 13 studies meeting inclusion criteria with a combined sample of 2401 participants. The meta-analysis revealed a significant negative relationship between both constructs, showing that higher psychopathic trait scores are related to lower EI levels. We propose several future research lines to clarify possible gaps and ambiguities in the current literature and a set of interesting clinical implications for the prevention, evaluation, and treatment of psychopathy by including EI factors in traditional models of psychopathy.Universidad de Málaga.

Statistical analysis and use of questionnaries for evaluation of the knouledge at university. A practical case

The accomplished experience, using the data processing platform Moodle, in the execution of multiple-option questionnaires with automatic evaluation; is presented. The obtained results have been utilized subsequently for their statistical analysis by means of centered measures and basic dispersion. The documented experience was implemented in the subject: Construction of Traditional Structures and Equipments (CETE), in the Technical Architecture (AT) career of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) The summary of the information includes the results obtained for a total sampling of 437 students distributed in four different groups. In those groups, three different professors taught the classes for the two available schedules. The obtained results facilitate to discern among the different professors, student typologies, student gender, different levels of acquired knowledge, relation to other evaluation techniques applied, and relation to the documented prior knowledge. It is proposed and analyzed, basing on the obtained results, educational adaptations that will allow future improvements in subjects with similar requests or needs on the part of the students. Similarly, possible poor preceding formation in students or in the teaching by professors can be determined; both shall be corrected after the analysis. This work is part of the effort achieved in the educational improvement field, that is being executed inside the Upper-Technical Building College of Barcelona (EPSEB) and framed in the European Space of Higher Education. The objective is to show the current descriptive focal point on the learning and continuous evaluation field, applied in this subjectPostprint (published version

Evaluating Enterprise Content Management Tools in a Real Context

Managing documentation in a suitable way has become a critical issue for any organization. Or ganizations depend on the information they store and they are required to have appropriate mechanisms to support the functional needs of information storage, management and retrieval. Currently, there are several tools in the market, both free software and proprietary license, nor mally named Enterprise Content Management (ECM) tools, which offer relevant solutions in this context. This paper presents a comparative study among several of the most commonly used ECM tools. It starts with a systematic review of the literature to analyze possible solutions and then it defines a characterization schema instantiated in a particular case, the Regional Government of AndalusiaMinisterio de Educación y Ciencia TIN2013-46928-C3-3-

A Practical Experience Applying Security Audit Techniques in an Industrial e-Health System Which Uses an Open Source ERP

Healthcare institutions is an ever-innovative field, in which modernization is moving forward taking giant steps. This modernization, so called “digitization”, brings up some concerns that should be carefully consid ered. Currently, the most sensible concerning in this field is the management of Electronic Health Record and patients’ data privacy. Health-related data in healthcare systems are under strict regulations, such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), whose non-compliance imposes huge penalties and fines. Cy bersecurity in healthcare plays an important role at protecting these sensitive data, which are highly valuable for criminals. Security experts follow already existing security frameworks to orchestrate the security assess ment process, so that the auditing process is as complete and as organized as possible. This study extends the lifecycle of a security assessment framework and conducts an exploitation and vulnerabilities’ analysis on an actual industrial scenario. The results of this security audit shows that even if the system is heavily fortified, there can be still some vulnerabilities.Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades PID2019-105455GB-C31Junta de Andalucía US-125153

Immediate loading and immediate restoration in 105 expanded-platform implants via the Diem System after a 16-month follow-up period

Objective: The aim of this study was to report on our experience and outcomes with Certain Prevail Implants and immediate loading via the Diem System after a 16-month follow-up period. Materials and Methods: Over a 16- month period, 105 (14 maxilla, 91 mandible) expanded-platform implants were placed in 18 patients (15 females, 3 males; 55.97 ±7.25 SD years). Resonance frecuency analysis (RFA) was measured on the day of placement and at 3, 12 and 16 months. All prostheses were screw mounted on IOL DIEM standard abutments. The follow-up time varied between 3 up to 16 months. Results: One implant (0.9%) failed during final prothetic placement (3 months). The RFA (ISQ) measurements at 16 months evalution for 4 mm- and 5 mm diameter implants were: 76.13 ± 5.0 SD and 76 ±7.7 SD respectively. The RFA data related to mandible and maxilla, the day 0 mean was 76.47 ± 4.75 SD and 70.13 ± 1.35 SD, at 3 months 70.53 ± 4.0 SD and 66.07 ±2.9 SD, at 12 months 68.23± 3.6 SD and 66.40 ±2.7 SD and 16 months 68.23± 3.6 SD and 66.60 ± 2.5 SD respectively. The crestal bone resorption was 0.6 mm at 16 months in platform switching implants.Conclusions: The cumulative implant survival rate during the follow-up period was 99.1% Immediate loading on IOL Diem abutments is a reliable and effective technique for edentulous patients in the maxilla and mandible

Comportamiento agresivo: factores protectores y de riesgo

La agresividad es considerada un problema de gran relevancia para la sociedad, debido a las consecuencias adversas que se generan tanto en las víctimas como en los propios agresores. Como resultado, las investigaciones en agresividad han aumentado considerablemente en los últimos años. La literatura ha postulado numerosas teorías para comprender este comportamiento. Sin embargo, la mayoría de estas investigaciones se han centrado en una variable o en un conjunto pequeño de ellas para explicar este fenómeno. Nuestro estudio analiza las diferentes variables psicológicas que más relevancia han tenido en investigación para identificar los factores de riesgo y protectores asociados con la agresividad. Con este propósito, un total de ciento sesenta y ocho adultos (M = 22.88 años) completaron una batería de cuestionarios. Los resultados revelaron que el comportamiento agresivo es parcialmente explicado (67%) por las siguientes subdimensiones: afecto positivo y negativo, urgencia negativa dentro de la impulsividad, sensibilidad a la recompensa y el castigo, y manejo de emociones dentro de la inteligencia emocional. Estos hallazgos pueden ayudar a entender mejor los factores psicológicos y procesos que subyacen la agresividad y, de esta forma, se podrá obtener información para diseñar programas enfocados con mayor precisión en el tratamiento y en la prevención de este fenómeno. Se discuten las limitaciones y futuras líneas de investigación.Universidad de Málaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional Andalucía Tech
