Factores que determinan la acción de chatear por celular mientras se camina
1 recurso en línea (97 páginas) : ilustraciones, figuras, tablas.El presente trabajo de investigación estudia los factores que determinan la acción
de chatear mientras se camina, con el propósito de analizar sus causas, desde la
perspectiva de los usuarios, y plantear medidas que ayuden a mitigar la conducta
de chatear mientras se camina de los peatones.
La metodología usada tuvo dos perspectivas basadas en la aplicación de una
encuesta a una muestra representativa de la población. En primer lugar, se hizo un
análisis empírico a partir de la obtención de barras apiladas divergentes, para un
conjunto de indicadores de variables latentes, basados en indicadores de tipo Likert.
En segundo lugar, tomando los datos de un experimento de preferencias
declaradas, mediante un proceso iterativo, se hizo la estimación de modelos de tipo
Logit multinomial a través del software de uso libre Biogeme.
De esta manera se pudo concluir que los factores determinantes de la conducta de
chatear mientras se caminan están relacionados con características sociales del
individuo, políticas de tránsito, características de la infraestructura urbana,
características socio-económicas de las personas, así como las características
propias del uso del teléfono de cada individuo.Bibliografía y webgrafía: páginas 94-97.PregradoIngeniero de Transport
One thousand plant transcriptomes and the phylogenomics of green plants
Abstract: Green plants (Viridiplantae) include around 450,000–500,000 species1, 2 of great diversity and have important roles in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Here, as part of the One Thousand Plant Transcriptomes Initiative, we sequenced the vegetative transcriptomes of 1,124 species that span the diversity of plants in a broad sense (Archaeplastida), including green plants (Viridiplantae), glaucophytes (Glaucophyta) and red algae (Rhodophyta). Our analysis provides a robust phylogenomic framework for examining the evolution of green plants. Most inferred species relationships are well supported across multiple species tree and supermatrix analyses, but discordance among plastid and nuclear gene trees at a few important nodes highlights the complexity of plant genome evolution, including polyploidy, periods of rapid speciation, and extinction. Incomplete sorting of ancestral variation, polyploidization and massive expansions of gene families punctuate the evolutionary history of green plants. Notably, we find that large expansions of gene families preceded the origins of green plants, land plants and vascular plants, whereas whole-genome duplications are inferred to have occurred repeatedly throughout the evolution of flowering plants and ferns. The increasing availability of high-quality plant genome sequences and advances in functional genomics are enabling research on genome evolution across the green tree of life
Art and Recovery in Mental Health: a Qualitative Investigation
Arts programmes are provided as part of the psychosocial rehabilitation for consumers with a mental illness. Consumers have reported that involvement in the arts has facilitated their recovery. This qualitative study was conducted to explore the ways in which involvement in an Australian community arts programme contributed to the recovery process. It also aimed to gain an understanding of intrinsic recovery, which focuses on personal satisfaction and meaning. Eight consumers with a mental illness who were members of a community-based arts programme participated in in-depth semi-structured interviews. The themes that were analysed thematically from the interviews included art as a medium of expression and self-discovery, and changes in internal conditions (spirituality, empowerment and self-validation). The findings revealed the usefulness of arts programmes in providing the external environment that facilitates internal recovery
