Aversiveness of errors in performance monitoring and error related negativity in obsessive compulsive symptomatology

The error-related negativity is one of the most examined event-related potentials in the study of cognitive control, yet its functional significance has not been fully determined. The present dissertation had the objective to investigate the relationship between error processing and affective states manipulations in non-clinical samples and in OC symptomatology. Two studies constitute this dissertation. In study 1, we conducted a systematic review of studies investigating affective state manipulations, aversiveness of errors and the ERN. This review showed considerable evidence for ERN sensitivity to affect states experimental manipulations. In study 2, we aimed to explore the incidence of the error-related potentials at a gambling-type task (HiLo game) in a sample composed of people with high OCD symptomatology. Although the ERPs of interest were not elicited, we showed that the HiLo game is a promising paradigm to investigate the ERN in upcoming studies. In the general discussion, the results from the two studies are discussed in relation to the literature on error monitoring and affective conceptualizations

El documento establece una reseña sobre los hechos de violencia ocurridos el 2 de Mayo de 2002 en Bojaya Choco por integrantes de las Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (AUC) y los guerrilleros de las Fuerzas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC). Estos grupos desplegados en las riveras del rio Atrato y en el casco urbano de las poblaciones de Vigia del Fuerte y Bellavista, atemorizaron a la población civil dejándola en medio del fuego cruzado y utilizándolos como escudos humanos, desacatando los Derechos Humanos y el Derecho Internacional Humanitario, dejando como resultado mas de 120 victimas civiles, desplazamiento forzoso, cuantiosos daños a la población y la incertidumbre por la no presencia a tiempo del Estado colombiano.The document provides an overview of the violence that occurred on May 2, 2002 in Bojaya Chocó by members Auto defensas Unidas De Colombia (AUC) and the guerrillas of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionadas of Colombia (FARC). These groups deployed on the banks of the Atrato River and in the urban populations of Vigia Del Fuerte and Bellavista, frightened civilians leaving in the crossfire and using them as human shields, defying Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law leaving as a result over 120 civilian casualties, forced displacement, extensive damage to the population and uncertainty for

Trabajo de investigación previo a la obtención del título de Magister en Educación Mención Innovación y Liderazgo Educativo.

Las neurociencias en los últimos años han realizado importantes aportes al aprendizaje escolar, basándose específicamente en la funcionalidad de las emociones, la curiosidad, la imaginación y la música en el campo pedagógico. La utilización de la música infantil es una actividad pedagógica activa que contribuye a desarrollar la creatividad y mejorar el proceso de enseñanza de los niños. En virtud de ello, el desarrollo de esta investigación se acerca a establecer la relación entre la música y la neurodidáctica dadas sus potencialidades de este proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje como una propuesta de innovación educativa desde una perspectiva funcional y adaptable a diversos contextos educativos. La investigación presenta un enfoque cuali-cuantitativo, en las modalidades de investigación de campo y bibliográfica en donde se utilizó las técnicas de entrevista y ficha de observación como medio de recolección de datos a niños y padres de familia respectivamente del nivel Inicial 2 de la Unidad Educativa “San Pio X”. Se obtuvo como resultado un manual con enfoque neuro didáctico aplicable al nivel Inicial II. La evaluación realizada por los usuarios del manual confirma su aplicabilidad, pero se requiere continuar la búsqueda y perfeccionamiento de las iniciativas en función de aplicar la neurodidáctica a la música en este contexto

Iliá Yefimovich Repin

He was born on August 5, 1844 in the small Ukrainian town of Chuguev. Son of a settler farmer and ex-military, and like many sons of military colonists, went to the academy of topography of the military school, where he arose his passion for drawing, painting and sculpture. At the age of thirteen he demonstrated his ability to make portraits and devoted himself to making religious icons and restorations for the Orthodox churches of his people, under the teaching of iconographer Bunakov.Nació el 5 de agosto de 1844 en la pequeña ciudad ucraniana de Chuguev. Hijo de un colono agricultor y exmilitar, y al igual que muchos hijos de colonos militares, fue a la academia de topografía de la escuela militar, donde surgió su pasión por el dibujo, la pintura y la escultura. A los trece años demostró su facultad para hacer retratos y se dedicó a realizar íconos religiosos y restauraciones para las iglesias ortodoxas de su pueblo, bajo la enseñanza del iconografista Bunakov

From Hydra to Humans: Insights into molecular mechanisms of aging and longevity

Human aging is characterized by progressive functional decline that coincides with both increased morbidity and mortality. Aging affects every human being and only few individuals achieve longevity, a very special phenotype marked by extraordinary healthy aging. This thesis consists of three chapters; each one is devoted to a separate project that contributes to the growing body of knowledge about aging and longevity. The work required the compilation, management and analysis of diverse big data sets and the application of cutting-edge statistical and computational methods. Chapter 1 - A functional genomics study was conducted in the potentially immortal freshwater polyp Hydra using body part-specific microarray and RNA sequencing data. The results revealed gene expression patterns that allow boundary maintenance during Hydra’s continuous cell proliferation and tissue self-renewal. Furthermore, this study provided evidence for de-acetylation as a key mechanism underlying compartmentalization. Surprisingly, FoxO, which is known to substantially drive developmental processes and stem cell renewal in Hydra, did not seem to be affected by the acetylation status. Chapter 2 - Long-lived individuals (LLI, >95 years of age) epitomize the healthy aging phenotype and are thought to carry beneficial genetic variants that predispose to human longevity. Despite extensive research efforts, only few of these genetic factors in LLI have been identified so far. In contrast to previous investigations which mainly focused on intronic variants, a genome-wide exome-based case-control study was performed. DNA samples of more than 1,200 German LLI, including 599 centenarians (≥100 years), and about 6,900 younger controls were used for single-variant and gene-based association analyses that yielded two new candidate longevity genes, fructosamine 3 kinase related protein (FN3KRP) and phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGP). FN3KRP functions in the deglycation of proteins to restore their function, while PGP via controlling glycerol-3-phosphate levels affects both glucose and fat metabolism. Given the biological functions of the genes, their longevity-associations appear very plausible. Chapter 3 - In recent years, the intestinal microbiome (GM) has increasingly gained attention in aging and longevity research. A 16S rRNA microbiome study was conducted using 1301 stool samples of healthy individuals (age range: 19 - 104 years) that were drawn from three cohorts. The aim was to investigate potential associations among GM composition, host genetics and environmental factors during aging. The GM composition changed with age, showing an increase of opportunistic pathogens that may generate an inflammatory environment in the gut. Age explained only ~1% of the inter-individual variation, whereas anthropometric measures, genetic background and dietary patterns together explained 20%. Strikingly, clear GM population stratification in terms of four enterotype-like clusters was observed, which were predominantly associated with dietary patterns. The correction for these clusters was shown to increase the comparability of findings from the different cohorts. In addition, the LLI showed a specific gut microbial pattern, which is in line with previously published reports. The present work shows that a thorough bioinformatics expertise helps to address the complexity of the two phenotypes aging and longevity. One highlight of the thesis is the discovery of two new candidate longevity loci that, in view of the limited output of previous study approaches, enlarge the existing database

La provincia en Boyacá: unidad territorial, histórico-funcional de planificación en la gestión del desarrollo regional endógeno, 2004-2011

This article analyzes the province as a territorial dimension of development in Boyacá. First, the province is described as a territorial (specific site of action), historical (transcendent) and functional unit (with specific uses). Secondly, the concept of planning in the management of endogenous regional development is exposed, in order to analyze it from the province. Therefore, it is established that “to achieve a sustainable social change that will lead in the development of a region” is necessary to start from the activation of the internal capabilities including the organization of the territory, which in Boyacá is the province and that is from the province that the departmental development should be planned.Este artículo analiza la provincia como dimensión territorial del desarrollo en Boyacá. En primer lugar, se describe la provincia como unidad territorial (lugar concreto de acción), histórica (trascendente), funcional (con usos específicos); en segundo lugar, se expone el concepto de planificación en la gestión del desarrollo regional endógeno para, finalmente, analizarlo desde lo provincial. Así, se establece que para “alcanzar un cambio social sostenido que lleve al perfeccionamiento de una región”, es necesario partir de la activación de las capacidades internas, lo que incluye la organización del territorio, que en Boyacá es la provincia, y que es desde ella, que se debe planificar el desarrollo departamental.
