Athlete and Coach Development in the Sevilla Club de Fútbol Youth Academy: A Values-Based Proposition

Professional youth football (soccer) academies face a number of challenges related to the contrasting and at times competing nature of their goals. Marrying long-term development of players with success in youth competitions and combining the development of young people as athletes with their growth as human beings are some examples. Professional football clubs and those tasked with leading their academies have to make key decisions as to how these challenges will be addressed. In this paper we argue that those decisions must be made based on a clearly shared philosophy and accompanying set of values. We present some of the key principles governing the work of the Sevilla Club de Fútbol Youth Academy and the rationale behind them. These principles span from developmental, methodological and pedagogical choices to the building of an internal long-term approach to coach development

Humans expect generosity

Mechanisms supporting human ultra-cooperativeness are very much subject to debate. One psychological feature likely to be relevant is the formation of expectations, particularly about receiving cooperative or generous behavior from others. Without such expectations, social life will be seriously impeded and, in turn, expectations leading to satisfactory interactions can become norms and institutionalize cooperation. In this paper, we assess people’s expectations of generosity in a series of controlled experiments using the dictator game. Despite differences in respective roles, involvement in the game, degree of social distance or variation of stakes, the results are conclusive: subjects seldom predict that dictators will behave selfishly (by choosing the Nash equilibrium action, namely giving nothing). The majority of subjects expect that dictators will choose the equal split. This implies that generous behavior is not only observed in the lab, but also expected by subjects. In addition, expectations are accurate, matching closely the donations observed and showing that as a society we have a good grasp of how we interact. Finally, correlation between expectations and actual behavior suggests that expectations can be an important ingredient of generous or cooperative behavior

HALLAZGOS MAS FRECUENTES POR TOMOGRAFIA AXIAL COMPUTADA EN PACIENTES CON DIAGNOSTICO CLINICO DE LINFOMA EN CAVIDAD ABDOMINAL EN EL CENTRO MEDICO ISSEMYM TOLUCA “ARTURO MONTIEL ROJAS” DEL PERIODO COMPRENDIDO DE ENERO DEL 2015 A AGOSTO DE 2016”

RESUMEN La prevalencia de la afectación extranodal en el linfoma no Hodgkin y la enfermedad de Hodgkin ha aumentado en la última década, extranodal se refiere a la infiltración linfomatosa de sitios anatómicos distintos de los ganglios linfáticos; casi cualquier órgano puede ser afectado por el linfoma (con los sitios extranodales más comunes de la implicación que son el estómago, el bazo, el anillo de Waldeyer, el sistema nervioso central, el pulmón, el hueso, y la piel).La tomografía computarizada se ha convertido en la principal herramienta para el diagnóstico y sobre todo el estadiaje de los linfomas; a su capacidad para proporcionar buenas imágenes de mediastino, abdomen y retroperitoneo hemos de añadir la característica de objetividad, hecho vital a la hora de realizar el seguimiento de las lesiones y valorar su respuesta al tratamiento. OBJETIVO GENERAL:Describir los hallazgos más frecuentes por tomografía de abdomen en pacientes con diagnóstico clínico de linfoma en el centro médico ISSEMYM en el periodo de enero 2015 agosto del 2016. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS:Estudio de tipo observacional, descriptivo, retrospectivo y transversal. RESULTADOS: Se estudiaron 34 pacientes en total, en 19 de los 34 pacientes estudiados se observaron lesiones compatibles con infiltración hepática, siendo de tipo difuso en 17 de ellos, la hepatomegalia y la esplenomegalia se encontró en el 55.8% de los pacientes. La localización de adenopatías en pacientes con linfoma retroperitoneales periaorticas (29.4 %) fueron las más frecuentes en nuestra serie

Percepción de la satisfacción del servicio en el transporte público solo para mujeres

Debido a las necesidades y la inclusión de las mujeres en distintas actividades laborales, ellas deben desplazarse para realizar, entre otras actividades, trabajos redituables, crianza de los hijos, atención y cuidado de los integrantes de la familia, y en algunos casos como sostén económico. El transporte público es la forma más utilizada por las mujeres para realizar sus desplazamientos. Por lo que es necesario revisar las condiciones en que ellas efectúan sus viajes, específicamente en el transporte solo para mujeres en la Ciudad de México, cuya implementación surgió para protegerlas de las agresiones sufridas durante sus viajes en el transporte público; sin embargo existe evidencia de que ese servicio no está cumpliendo con esa finalidad. En este trabajo se reportan los resultados emanados de la aplicación de la técnica de grupos focales, que permitió obtener las percepciones de la satisfacción del servicio solo para mujeres, en relación con tres factores: disponibilidad de asientos, cobertura y agresiones sufridas. Además, se obtuvieron las emociones originadas en las mujeres ante los niveles de satisfacción del servicio y se propuso una escala para su valoració

Upregulation of Transglutaminase andε(γ-Glutamyl)-Lysine in the Fisher-Lewis Rat Model of Chronic Allograft Nephropathy

Background. Tissue transglutaminase (TG2), a cross-linking enzyme, modulates deposition of extracellular matrix protein in renal fibrosis. This study aimed to examine TG2 and its cross-link product ε(γ-glutamyl)-lysine in the Fisher-Lewis rat renal transplantation (RTx) model of chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN). Materials and Methods. Left renal grafts from male Fisher and Lewis were transplanted into Lewis rats, generating allografts and isografts, respectively. Blood pressure, renal function, and proteinuria were monitored for up to 52 weeks. At termination, CAN was assessed in the renal tissue by light and electron microscopy, TG2 and ε(γ-glutamyl)-lysine by immunofluorescence, and the urinary ε(γ-glutamyl)-lysine by high performance liquid chromatography. Results. Compared to the isograft, the allografts were hypertensive, proteinuric, and uraemic and developed CAN. Extracellular TG2 (glomerulus: 64.55 + 17.61 versus 2.11 + 0.17, P<0.001; interstitium: 13.72 + 1.62 versus 3.19 + 0.44, P<0.001), ε(γ-glutamyl)-lysine (glomerulus: 21.74 + 2.71 versus 1.98 + 0.37, P<0.01; interstitium: 37.96 + 17.06 versus 0.42 + 0.11, P<0.05), TG2 enzyme activity (1.09 + 0.13 versus 0.41 + 0.03 nmol/h/mg protein, P<0.05), TG2 mRNA (20-fold rise), and urinary ε(γ-glutamyl)-lysine (534.2 + 198.4 nmol/24 h versus 57.2 + 4.1 nmol/24 h,P<0.05) levels were significantly elevated in the allografts and showed a positive linear correlation with tubulointerstitial fibrosis. Conclusion. CAN was associated with upregulation of renal TG2 pathway, which has a potential for pharmacological intervention. The elevated urinary ε(γ-glutamyl)-lysine, measured for the first time in RTx, is a potential biomarker of CA

The emergence of altruism as a social norm

Expectations, exerting influence through social norms, are a very strong candidate to explain how complex societies function. In the Dictator game (DG), people expect generous behavior from others even when they cannot enforce any sharing of the pie. Here we assume that people donate following their expectations, and that they update their expectation after playing a DG by reinforcement learning to construct a model that explains the main experimental results in the DG. Full agreement with the experimental results is reached when some degree of mismatch between expectations and donations is added into the model. These results are robust against the presence of envious agents, but affected if we introduce selfish agents that do not update their expectations. Our results point to social norms being on the basis of the generous behavior observed in the DG and also to the wide applicability of reinforcement learning to explain many strategic interactions

Applications of data science in policing: VeriPol as an investigation support tool

Data Science is an interdisciplinary field involving the development of processes and systems to extract knowledge and understanding from data in different formats and from different sources. Considering the large amount of data generated and managed by public safety agencies, Data Science applications in the police sector are numerous. More important are the advantages that the different applications of Data Science could provide the police on issues such as the optimization of resources, the increase of efficiency and effectiveness, the modernization and its exemplariness when compared with other institutions. In this paper we present different potential applications fields of Data Science for the police. In addition, we focus on the case of VeriPol, a tool for automatic detection of false violent robbery reports, currently under development by the Spanish National Police. In particular, we illustrate a detailed analysis of the results of a recent pilot study aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the tool
