Estudio de la filmografía de Tim Burton: The Corpse Bride, Pee Wee's Big adventure, Charlie and the Chocolate factory y Batman

Las películas de Tim Burton están caracterizadas por lo fantástico y lo irreal. Por las fantasías góticas, los cuentos de hadas y los monstruos. Son películas marcadas siempre por un personaje extraño al mundo que le rodea y no consigue encajar en él. Sus influencias son muchas, pero en realidad se resumen en todo el cine del que el autor se ha empapado durante sus años de infancia y juventud. Este trabajo estudia las características de la obra de Tim Burton a fin de comprender la obra de un autor que reinterpreta la tradición cultural desde la óptica de la postmodernidad. Asimismo, analiza algunos de sus films más destacados. Cierto sector de la crítica considera las películas de Burton como deslumbrantes ejercicios visuales. Este trabajo trata de demostrar que, efectivamente, Burton, posee un brillante talento visual, sin dejar de lado la complejidad de los temas y personajes de sus películas que evitan que se conviertan en meros ejercicios de estilo.Tim Burton's films are characterized by the fantastic and unreal. For the Gothic fantasies, fairy tales and monsters. These films always marked by a strange character to the world around you and you can not fit into it. His influences are many, but in reality are summarized throughout the film of which the offender has been soaked during his childhood and youth. This document studies the characteristics of the work of Tim Burton, the notion of Fantasy and Gender issues in order to understand the work of an author who reinterprets the cultural tradition from the perspective of postmodernism. Also, I discuss some of its most outstanding films. Certain section of the review considers Burton films as dazzling visual exercises. This paper attempts to demonstrate that, indeed, Burton, has a brilliant visual talent, without neglecting the complexity of the themes and characters in his films that prevent them from becoming mere exercises in style.Gómez Ivars, M.

Active aging promotion: results from the Vital Aging Program

Active aging is one of the terms in the semantic network of aging well, together with others such as successful, productive, competent aging. All allude to the new paradigm in gerontology, where by aging is considered from a positive perspective. Most authors in the field agree active aging is a multidimensional concept, embracing health, physical and cognitive fitness, positive affect and control, social relationships and engagement. This paper describes Vital Aging, an individual active aging promotion program implemented through three modalities: Life, Multimedia, and e-Learning. The program was developed on the basis of extensive evidence about individual determinants of active aging. e different versions of Vital Aging are described, and four evaluation studies (both formative and summative) are reported. Formative evaluation reflected participants's satisfaction and expected changes; summative evaluations yielded some quite encouraging results using quasi-experimental designs: those who took part in the programs increased their physical exercise, signicantly improved their diet, reported better memory, had better emotional balance, and enjoyed more cultural, intellectual, affective, and social activities than they did before the course, thus increasing their social relationships. These results are discussed in the context of the common literature within the field and, also, taking into .account the limitations of the evaluations accomplished.Vital Aging Programs were sponsored by the Institute for Older Adults and Social Services (IMSERSO-UAM Agreements 1997-00), the Socrates Minerva Program of the European Commission (AGE-LL-C, 2001-03), and the UAM Santander Research Program for Latin America (PUM-e 2011)

¿Cómo es tu cole?

¿Cómo es tu cole? es el título del proyecto de trabajo que tiene como finalidad la creación de una maqueta a escala del propio centro. Esta propuesta va dirigida a niños entre 11 y 12 años, alumnos de sexto de primaria. La elección de este proyecto se debe a que consideramos que los conceptos que permite trabajar son demasiado abstractos por lo que se pretende que los alumnos manipulen y se pongan en contacto con los contenidos de escala y maqueta. En este proyecto se proponen unas tareas donde los alumnos pueden dotar de significado al concepto de escala a traves de un aprendizaje por descubrimiento, lo cual supondrá mayor interes e implicación por parte de los alumnos, así como la consolidacion de una base solida de conocimiento. Además, esta propuesta se puede plantear para introducir dicho concepto o para afianzarlo

Por el polideportivo

La ruta matemática en el polideportivo que se va a desarrollar a lo largo del trabajo, ha sido propuesta para los estudiantes de sexto curso. La presente ruta está disefiada para poder trabajar diferentes contenidos, por un lado estan los contenidos de consolidación, es decir, aquellos conceptos que los alumnos ya han estudiado y, por tanto, se pretende los que recuerden y practiquen en situaciones reales. Por otro lado, también se trabajan los contenidos de construcción, estos son aquellos conceptos que todavía no han trabajado los discentes y, por tanto, a traves de situaciones reales se les pretende iniciar, todo ello a traves de una serie de tareas donde los alumnos trabajarán tanto de forma individual como de manera cooperativa y dialogica, con el objetivo de conseguir un aprendizaje significativo a la par que una solida base de conocimiento. Para ello, se ha de tener en cuenta que los alumnos antes de llevar a cabo esta ruta, anteriormente habrán estudiado en clase los siguientes contenidos: las áreas de distintas figuras geométricas, las simetrías, la definición de diagonal, el tratamiento de la información, la media, la moda y la capacidad y el volumen

Modular Point-of-Care Breath Analyzer and Shape Taxonomy-Based Machine Learning for Gastric Cancer Detection

Funding Information: The development of the analysis approach and its evaluation and analysis were supported by a postdoctoral grant within the Activity 1.1.1.2 “Post-doctoral Research Aid” co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (postdoctoral project numbers: 1.1.1.2/VIAA/2/18/270 and 1.1.1.2/VIAA/3/19/495). Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.Background: Gastric cancer is one of the deadliest malignant diseases, and the non-invasive screening and diagnostics options for it are limited. In this article, we present a multi-modular device for breath analysis coupled with a machine learning approach for the detection of cancer-specific breath from the shapes of sensor response curves (taxonomies of clusters). Methods: We analyzed the breaths of 54 gastric cancer patients and 85 control group participants. The analysis was carried out using a breath analyzer with gold nanoparticle and metal oxide sensors. The response of the sensors was analyzed on the basis of the curve shapes and other features commonly used for comparison. These features were then used to train machine learning models using Naïve Bayes classifiers, Support Vector Machines and Random Forests. Results: The accuracy of the trained models reached 77.8% (sensitivity: up to 66.54%; specificity: up to 92.39%). The use of the proposed shape-based features improved the accuracy in most cases, especially the overall accuracy and sensitivity. Conclusions: The results show that this point-of-care breath analyzer and data analysis approach constitute a promising combination for the detection of gastric cancer-specific breath. The cluster taxonomy-based sensor reaction curve representation improved the results, and could be used in other similar applications.publishersversionPeer reviewe

First Report on the Latvian SARS-CoV-2 Isolate Genetic Diversity

First case of a person testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection within the territory of the Republic of Latvia was registered on 2nd of March 2020, 9 days prior to the pandemic declaration by WHO. Since then, more than 277,000 tests were carried out confirming a total of 1,464 cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the country as of 12th of September 2020. Rapidly reacting to the spread of the infection, an ongoing sequencing campaign was started mid-March in collaboration with the local testing laboratories, with an ultimate goal in sequencing as much local viral isolates as possible, resulting in first full-length SARS-CoV-2 isolate genome sequences from the Baltics region being made publicly available in early April. With 133 viral isolates representing ~9.1% of the total COVID-19 cases during the "first coronavirus wave" in the country (early March, 2020-mid-September, 2020) being completely sequenced as of today, here, we provide a first report on the genetic diversity of Latvian SARS-CoV-2 isolates.publishersversionPeer reviewe

Culture-level dimensions of social axioms and their correlates across 41 cultures

Leung and colleagues have revealed a five-dimensional structure of social axioms across individuals from five cultural groups. The present research was designed to reveal the culture level factor structure of social axioms and its correlates across 41 nations. An ecological factor analysis on the 60 items of the Social Axioms Survey extracted two factors: Dynamic Externality correlates with value measures tapping collectivism, hierarchy, and conservatism and with national indices indicative of lower social development. Societal Cynicism is less strongly and broadly correlated with previous values measures or other national indices and seems to define a novel cultural syndrome. Its national correlates suggest that it taps the cognitive component of a cultural constellation labeled maleficence, a cultural syndrome associated with a general mistrust of social systems and other people. Discussion focused on the meaning of these national level factors of beliefs and on their relationships with individual level factors of belief derived from the same data set.(undefined
