Improvement in the distribution of services in multi-agent systems with SCODA

The distribution of services on multi-agent systems allows it to reduce to the agents their computational load. The functionality of the system does not reside in the agents themselves, however it is ubiquitously distributed so that allows you to perform tasks in parallel avoiding an additional computational cost to the elements in the system. The distribution of services that offers SCODA (Distributed and Specialized Agent Communities) allows an intelligent management of these services provided by agents of the system and the parallel execution of threads that allow to respond to requests asynchronously, which implies an improvement in the performance of the system at both the computational level as the level of quality of service in the control of these services. The comparison carried out in the case of study that is presented in this paper demonstrates the existing improvement in the distribution of services on systems based on SCODA

Biological and psychological monitoring of training status during an entire season in top kayakers

[EN] Aim. The aim of this study was to analyze changes in selected biological and psychological variables in a group of top level kayakers along a 42-week training season. Methods. Eight top junior sprint kayakers (age=16.8±2.1) (5 men and 3 women) with international competitive experience participated in the research. During the 42-wk season the subjects were tested in three occasions: (T1) in the second week of the general training period, (T2) at the beginning of the specific training period, (T3) at the beginning of the competitive training period. Firstly, subjects were asked to complete the Recovery-Stress Questionnaire for Athletes (RESTQ-Sport) and the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaires, and Borg's rate of perceived exertion scale (RPE). Immediately after, blood samples were collected and white blood cells, creatine kinase (CK), C-reactive protein (CRP), myeloperoxidase protein levels (MPO) and glutathione status were determined. ANOVA with repeated measures was used to determine the differences between tests. Results. From the hematological and biochemical measures only total leukocytes changed significantly, increasing at T3 when compared to T1. There were no differences along the entire season in both RESTQ-Sport and POMS scores or indices. Concerning performance, the group improved their maximal strength (+17.4% in bench-press IRM) and their specific-distance time (+9.8%). The main finding of the present study was that training was well-balanced between stress and recovery because while specific performance increased, signs of overtraining were not found. Conclusion. Training monitoring in athletes should be per-formed in a multilevel approach using measurements of performance as well as biological or psychological parameters.S

Intervención educativa del menor en centro de día como medida de preservación familiar

Durante los últimos años el trabajo con menores en situación de desprotección ha me­jorado, pero la realidad es que en la actualidad son numerosos los casos en los que es necesario un trabajo de calidad con las familias, situación que se ha visto agravada en gran medida con la crisis económica producida por la pandemia. Tras esta evidencia, se ha llevado a cabo una intervención individualizada dirigida a un menor que asiste a un centro de acogimiento residencial en la modalidad de centro de día como medida de intervención educativa de preservación familiar, donde cobra especial importancia la competencia monoparental femenina, velando por la promoción de sus competencias y realizaJ1do un trabajo coordinado entre la institución y la familia, para asegurar la per­manencia del menor en el núcleo familiar mediante una disminución de los factores de rjesgo y fortalecer los factores protectores, evitando así su posible separación familiar

Una escuela a varios tonos : entre óleos, cantos, cámaras y literatura, a propósito de la formación estética y la construcción de subjetividades

RESUMEN: Los postulados del proyecto moderno han hecho que la escuela desplace las sensibilidad y las artes de ella, que se imponga un solo tono para la formación de las singularidad y se desvirtúe la dimensión sensible. Es por este motivo que como maestros en formación soñamos con una escuela a varios tonos donde la relación entre la literatura y otras manifestaciones artísticas nos permitan generar condiciones de posibilidad para la formación estética y la construcción de subjetividades. En relación con la composición propuesta, nos decantamos por la investigación basada en artes, la cual apela por creaciones que despliegan la narración de la experiencia humana, favoreciendo que los sujetos habiten sus incógnitas desde una escritura meta-artística, es decir, desde la multiplicidad de matices que las artes nos ofrecen. Esta apuesta formativa se desarrolló en la Institución Educativa María Auxiliadora ubicada en Sabaneta, Antioquia, donde se realizaron cinco talleres que nos posibilitaron, a maestros y estudiantes, reconocernos como artistas hacedores de nuestra obra, de nuestra vida. En cada uno de estos se hizo hincapié en la relación que la literatura teje con la música, la pintura, el cine y la fotografía, con el propósito de fundamentar los sentidos de una didáctica de la literatura comparada. El proyecto favoreció la pregunta por el ser, por el otro y por el arte desde la creación de un nuevo horizonte curricular donde la vida y la sensibilidad nacieron entre grietas, creando así un camino parare-existir en compañía, pues es imprescindible que los maestros asuman una postura ética,política y estética de sus habitancias en el mundo, para darle una mirada renovada al alma y re-escribir otras gramáticas para la existencia en la escuela

Construcción de la identidad profesional del mentor en programas de inducción

La inducción docente es una fase fundamental y necesaria para aprender a enseñar. Una etapa fundamental que requiere la adquisición de conocimientos, competencias y habilidades. En este artículo analizamos reflexiones de vida de diez mentores en un programa de inducción docente en República Dominicana. Identificamos sus identidades profesionales como acompañantes de docentes principiantes basándonos en las respuestas a cuestiones como ¿quién soy?; ¿qué es lo importante de mi vida?; ¿cómo es mi personalidad como mentor? Los resultados demuestran cómo reflexionar en colaboración con otros les ayuda a aprender y mejorar profesionalmente. Concluimos describiendo cómo su identidad tiene un carácter crítico y un estilo democrático, base de su dedicación para formar personas activas en sociedad

Mentoría online. Acompañamiento social y reflexivo del profesorado principiante

El aprendizaje de profesiones complejas requiere de procesos de inducción y acompañamiento que faciliten a los nuevos la adquisición de valores, normas y prácticas de forma progresiva y guiada. En este artículo describimos las interacciones que se producen en el entorno de un programa formativo para la inducción del profesorado principiante de la República Dominicana, focalizadas en dos dimensiones: social y formativa. El objetivo es el de fomentar la creación de comunidades de aprendizaje, la reflexión y el análisis de la de la práctica, los procesos comunicativos y el desarrollo profesional (Garrison, Anderson y Archer, 2001). Han participado en el programa de inducción un total de 45 mentores y 363 profesores principiantes. Los datos han sido recopilados mediante herramientas de comunicación asíncrona, foros de discusión y mensajería instantánea. Los resultados muestran que el programa está teniendo incidencia positiva en cada una de las dimensiones analizadas

Recruitment of Staufen2 Enhances Dendritic Localization of an Intron-Containing CaMKIIα mRNA

Regulation of mRNA localization is a conserved cellular process observed in many types of cells and organisms. Asymmetrical mRNA distribution plays a particularly important role in the nervous system, where local translation of localized mRNA represents a key mechanism in synaptic plasticity. CaMKIIα is a very abundant mRNA detected in neurites, consistent with its crucial role at glutamatergic synapses. Here, we report the presence of CaMKIIα mRNA isoforms that contain intron i16 in dendrites, RNA granules, and synaptoneurosomes from primary neurons and brain. This subpopulation of unspliced mRNA preferentially localizes to distal dendrites in a synaptic-activity-dependent manner. Staufen2, a well-established marker of RNA transport in dendrites, interacts with intron i16 sequences and enhances its distal dendritic localization, pointing to the existence of intron-mediated mechanisms in the molecular pathways that modulate dendritic transport and localization of synaptic mRNAs.This work was funded by grants from the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness of Spain (BFU2014-52591-R CG) and the European Union (FEDER) to C.G

Monitoring biological and psychological measures throughout an entire season in male handball players

[EN] The aim of this study was to monitor biological markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, mood states, and recoverystress states throughout an entire season in male handball players. Fourteen handball players (age 20.192.5 years) with a regular training and competitive background in handball (11.093.7 years) from the same club volunteered to participate. All participants completed 40 weeks of training. The training load was increased progressively throughout the season. Blood samples were collected and questionnaires were administered during preparatory, competitive, and recovery periods. Blood C-reactive protein and oxidized glutathione (GSSG) concentrations increased during periods of high load, while the reduced/oxidized glutathione ratio (GSH/GSSG) decreased. These changes were accompanied by a significant increase in total leukocyte count. Positive correlations were found between C-reactive protein, GSSG, GSH/GSSG ratio, and training load. No changes were observed in the Total Mood Disturbance score of the Profile of Mood States (POMS). However, scores on some Recovery-Stress Questionnaire for Athletes subscales, such as Injury, Physical Recovery, and Being in Shape, correlated with training load. Findings indicate that during periods of high training load, handball players developed a low grade of inflammation and oxidative state. Results support the usefulness of monitoring psychological and biological markers of inflammation, oxidative stress, and training load during season.SIThis work was supported by the Acción Estratégica Sobre el Deporte, Spain (grant #2006-56141-C03- 01 to J.G. and grant #2006-56141-C03-02 to S.M.)

Signs of Overload After an Intensified Training

[EN] This study investigated eff ects of a 9-week intensified aerobic training and 3-weeks of recovery on signs of overload in 9 healthy active young males. Blood and saliva samples were collected and psychological questionnaires were administered during baseline (T1), intermediate load (T2), maximal load (T3), and recovery (T4) periods. Maximal oxygen uptake increased and blood lactate concentration decreased in T3, while running time in a 3 000 m track fi eld test was significantly shorter. No signifi cant changes were found in hematocrit, haemoglobin concentration, white blood cell count, lactate dehydrogenase, transaminases, interleukin-6, tumour necrosis factor- α , myeloperoxidase and markers of oxidative stress in plasma, or salivary cortisol and testosterone. Increases in diff erent negative aff ectscales and in the total mood disturbance score of the Profi le of Mood States were observed during T3. Scores in the stress scales of the Recovery- Stress Questionnaire for Athletes and in the State Anxiety Scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory also showed signifi cant increases during T3. The lack of eff ects in biomarkers together with the changes observed in psychological assessment indicates that an intensifi ed training can produce psychological disturbances prone to early overreaching development. Additionally, it seems that psychological parameters are sensitive markers to detect stress produced by load increases.SIThis work was supported by the Acción Estratégica Sobre el Deporte, Spain (grants n ° 2006-56141-C03-01 to J.
