    Color Models as Tools in Teaching Mathematics

    Get PDF
    In this paper we discuss various situations how color models and patterns can be used to simplify the study of abstract mathematics and serve as tools in understanding mathematical ideas. We illustrate the realization of such models through the development of advanced computer technology. In particular, we present how a computer algebra software such as Mathematica, or a dynamic geometry environment, can be utilized to facilitate the study of transformation geometry and group theory

    Referred pain from myofascial trigger points in head and neck–shoulder muscles reproduces head pain features in children with chronic tension type headache

    Our aim was to describe the referred pain pattern and areas from trigger points (TrPs) in head, neck, and shoulder muscles in children with chronic tension type headache (CTTH). Fifty children (14 boys, 36 girls, mean age: 8 ± 2) with CTTH and 50 age- and sex- matched children participated. Bilateral temporalis, masseter, superior oblique, upper trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, suboccipital, and levator scapula muscles were examined for TrPs by an assessor blinded to the children’s condition. TrPs were identified with palpation and considered active when local and referred pains reproduce headache pain attacks. The referred pain areas were drawn on anatomical maps, digitalized, and also measured. The total number of TrPs was significantly greater in children with CTTH as compared to healthy children (P < 0.001). Active TrPs were only present in children with CTTH (P < 0.001). Within children with CTTH, a significant positive association between the number of active TrPs and headache duration (rs = 0.315; P = 0.026) was observed: the greater the number of active TrPs, the longer the duration of headache attack. Significant differences in referred pain areas between groups (P < 0.001) and muscles (P < 0.001) were found: the referred pain areas were larger in CTTH children (P < 0.001), and the referred pain area elicited by suboccipital TrPs was larger than the referred pain from the remaining TrPs (P < 0.001). Significant positive correlations between some headache clinical parameters and the size of the referred pain area were found. Our results showed that the local and referred pains elicited from active TrPs in head, neck and shoulder shared similar pain pattern as spontaneous CTTH in children, supporting a relevant role of active TrPs in CTTH in children

    La formación no reglada y la oferta formativa para el colectivo juvenil. Educación y mercado de trabajo.

    Get PDF
    A lo largo de estas últimas dos décadas hemos observado cómo los jóvenes se han ido convirtiendo en uno de los colectivos más vulnerables en cuanto a formación y empleo se refiere. La sobreexplotación, la crisis económica y el creciente paro juvenil ha ido menguando las posibilidades de cara al empleo y al mercado de trabajo. Las casas de juventud y la formación que ofertan algunas de ellas van a ser el punto de partida y también un primer acercamiento hacia la empleabilidad juvenil que tanto demandan en el país y, en específico, en el archipiélago canario. El papel de las instituciones, y su afán por transformar a la educación en una mercancía, ha puesto a los jóvenes en una situación comprometida debido a la competitividad y a las leyes de mercado actuales. Desde la educación no formal y la formación no reglada se pretende dar una visión global y más específica del abanico de posibilidades que poseen los jóvenes para formarse tanto a nivel personal como profesional.Throughout these last two decades we have observed how young people have become one of the most vulnerable groups in terms of formation and employment. Overexploitation, the economic crisis and the growing youth unemployment have been diminishing the possibilities for employment and the labor market. The youth centers and the formation that some of them offer are going to be the starting point and also a first approach towards the youth employability that is so demanded in the country and specifically in the Canary islands. The role of institutions and their desire to transform education into a commodity has put young people in a compromised situation due to competition and current market laws. From non-formal education and non-regulated formation, it is intended to give a global and more specific vision of the range of possibilities that young people have to train both personally and professionally

    [ES] El presente proyecto tiene como objetivo principal el diseño y desarrollo de una guía sobre la ciudad de Sevilla para mostrar la ciudad a través de los ojos de un local, tratando los lugares y experiencias más desconocidas por los turistas. Puede considerarse una guía de viaje, cuaderno de viaje o simplemente un recorrido visual y literario por Sevilla. Nace de la necesidad de mostrar la cara más auténtica de la ciudad y, a través de un diseño atractivo, coherente y funcional, informar y atraer a los visitantes a estos lugares, evitando así que desaparezcan. Para este proyecto se realiza el trabajo de diseño editorial, ilustración, fotografía y copywriting, para conseguir una guía personal y distintiva.[EN] The main purpose of this project is to design and develop a city guide about Seville, in order to show the city through the eyes of a local person, explaining the most unknown places and experiences by the tourists. It can be considered a travel guide, travel book or simply a visual and literary journey through Seville. It is created by the need of showing the most authentic face of the city and, through an attractive, coherent and functional design, informing and attracting the visitors to these places, preventing their disappearance. This project involves editorial design, illustration, photography and copywriting, in order to obtain a personal and distinctive guide.Peñas Fernández, IDL. (2020).

    In this paper, we discuss properties of a normal tiling of the Euclidean plane with congruent edge coronae. We prove that the congruence of the first edge coronae is enough to say that the tiling is isotoxal
