Intervención en las habilidades sociales de las altas capacidades. Un estudio de caso

Giftedness represent a topic of growing interest in the scientific community. Within the characteristics of this condition are dyssynchronies, which represent inverse relations between the intelligence of the subject and internal or social aspects of his life. Studies have shown the need to intervene in the areas where dyssynchrony exists, being the early intervention essential to improve the lifestyle. This case study evaluated the improvement of the social skills in a gifted 6-year-old child, after using the fundamentals of cooperative learning and modeling, through the support of another 24-year-old patient with moderate intellectual disability, who served at times as frame of reference. A pre and post-test of the social skills of the patient was carried out by evaluating his psychopedagogist based on the social indicators of two instruments: the Observational Scale of Development (OSD) and the Batelle Development Inventory. Subsequently, a program of 7 intervention sessions was applied based on the variables of cooperative learning and learning by modeling from the cognitive-behavioral theory. The results showed statistically significant differences between the pre and post-test of the two tests applied. This suggests an improvement in the patient’s social skills and shows the effectiveness of this innovative intervention. In addition, we present evidence of the possibility of combining people with different diagnoses in the training of these competences, adding value to vicarious learning in psychotherapy.Las altas capacidades representan un tema de creciente interés en la comunidad científica.Dentro de las características de esta condición se encuentran las disincronías, que son relaciones inversas entre la inteligencia del sujeto y aspectos internos o sociales de su vida. Estudios han demostrado la necesidad de intervenir las áreas en las que existe disincronía, siendo la intervención temprana primordial para mejorar el estilo de vida de los niños con altas capacidades. En base a ello el presente estudio de caso evaluó la mejoría de las habilidades sociales de un niño de 6 años con altas capacidades, tras utilizar los fundamentos del aprendizaje cooperativo y por modelado mediante el apoyo de otra paciente de 24 años que presenta discapacidad intelectual moderada y que hizo las veces de marco de referencia. Se realizó un pre y post test de las habilidades sociales del paciente mediante la consulta a su psicopedagoga a partir de los indicadores sociales de dos instrumentos: la Escala de observación del desarrollo (EOD) y el Inventario de desarrollo Batelle. Posteriormente se aplicó un programa de intervención que se desarrolló en base a las variables del aprendizaje cooperativo y del aprendizaje por modelado a partir de la teoría cognitivo-conductual; se aplicaron 7 sesiones. Los resultados mostraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre el pre y post test de las dos pruebas aplicadas. Esto sugiere una mejoría en las habilidades sociales del paciente y muestra la efectividad de esta intervención. Además, se genera evidencia de la posibilidad de combinar personas con diagnósticos diferentes en el entrenamiento de habilidades sociales y da valor al aprendizaje vicario en la psicoterapia

Biallelic Loss‐of‐Function NDUFA12 Variants Cause a Wide Phenotypic Spectrum from Leigh/Leigh‐Like Syndrome to Isolated Optic Atrophy

Abstract: Background: Biallelic loss‐of‐function NDUFA12 variants have hitherto been linked to mitochondrial complex I deficiency presenting with heterogeneous clinical and radiological features in nine cases only. Objectives: To fully characterize, both phenotypically and genotypically, NDUFA12‐related mitochondrial disease. Methods: We collected data from cases identified by screening genetic databases of several laboratories worldwide and systematically reviewed the literature. Results: Nine unreported NDUFA12 cases from six pedigrees were identified, with presentation ranging from movement disorder phenotypes (dystonia and/or spasticity) to isolated optic atrophy. MRI showed basal ganglia abnormalities (n = 6), optic atrophy (n = 2), or was unremarkable (n = 1). All carried homozygous truncating NDUFA12 variants, three of which are novel. Conclusions: Our case series expands phenotype–genotype correlations in NDUFA12‐associated mitochondrial disease, providing evidence of intra‐ and inter‐familial clinical heterogeneity for the same variant. It confirms NDUFA12 variants should be included in the diagnostic workup of Leigh/Leigh‐like syndromes – particularly with dystonia – as well as isolated optic atrophy

Optimasi Portofolio Resiko Menggunakan Model Markowitz MVO Dikaitkan dengan Keterbatasan Manusia dalam Memprediksi Masa Depan dalam Perspektif Al-Qur`an

Risk portfolio on modern finance has become increasingly technical, requiring the use of sophisticated mathematical tools in both research and practice. Since companies cannot insure themselves completely against risk, as human incompetence in predicting the future precisely that written in Al-Quran surah Luqman verse 34, they have to manage it to yield an optimal portfolio. The objective here is to minimize the variance among all portfolios, or alternatively, to maximize expected return among all portfolios that has at least a certain expected return. Furthermore, this study focuses on optimizing risk portfolio so called Markowitz MVO (Mean-Variance Optimization). Some theoretical frameworks for analysis are arithmetic mean, geometric mean, variance, covariance, linear programming, and quadratic programming. Moreover, finding a minimum variance portfolio produces a convex quadratic programming, that is minimizing the objective function ðð¥with constraintsð ð 𥠥 ðandð´ð¥ = ð. The outcome of this research is the solution of optimal risk portofolio in some investments that could be finished smoothly using MATLAB R2007b software together with its graphic analysis

Differential cross section measurements for the production of a W boson in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV

Measurements are reported of differential cross sections for the production of a W boson, which decays into a muon and a neutrino, in association with jets, as a function of several variables, including the transverse momenta (pT) and pseudorapidities of the four leading jets, the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta (HT), and the difference in azimuthal angle between the directions of each jet and the muon. The data sample of pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV was collected with the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb[superscript −1]. The measured cross sections are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo generators, MadGraph + pythia and sherpa, and to next-to-leading-order calculations from BlackHat + sherpa. The differential cross sections are found to be in agreement with the predictions, apart from the pT distributions of the leading jets at high pT values, the distributions of the HT at high-HT and low jet multiplicity, and the distribution of the difference in azimuthal angle between the leading jet and the muon at low values.United States.

Juxtaposing BTE and ATE – on the role of the European insurance industry in funding civil litigation

One of the ways in which legal services are financed, and indeed shaped, is through private insurance arrangement. Two contrasting types of legal expenses insurance contracts (LEI) seem to dominate in Europe: before the event (BTE) and after the event (ATE) legal expenses insurance. Notwithstanding institutional differences between different legal systems, BTE and ATE insurance arrangements may be instrumental if government policy is geared towards strengthening a market-oriented system of financing access to justice for individuals and business. At the same time, emphasizing the role of a private industry as a keeper of the gates to justice raises issues of accountability and transparency, not readily reconcilable with demands of competition. Moreover, multiple actors (clients, lawyers, courts, insurers) are involved, causing behavioural dynamics which are not easily predicted or influenced. Against this background, this paper looks into BTE and ATE arrangements by analysing the particularities of BTE and ATE arrangements currently available in some European jurisdictions and by painting a picture of their respective markets and legal contexts. This allows for some reflection on the performance of BTE and ATE providers as both financiers and keepers. Two issues emerge from the analysis that are worthy of some further reflection. Firstly, there is the problematic long-term sustainability of some ATE products. Secondly, the challenges faced by policymakers that would like to nudge consumers into voluntarily taking out BTE LEI
