Introducción de la formación de palabras a través de corpus nativos para favorecer la profundidad de vocabulario en alumnado de inglés como segunda lengua en Educación Secundaria

ABSTRACT: This paper analyses the types and different possibilities offered by linguistic corpora, aiming to evaluate the benefits and constraints of their direct use in the classroom. Once this has been described, I inspect the concepts of word, vocabulary and lexical unit. Furthermore, I turn to morphology to examine the processes of affixation and derivation in word formation, and more specifically, how these two processes are approached in the language education curricula in Spain. Finally, I explore the pedagogical bases and most common approaches to learning vocabulary in English, among which we can find the direct use of corpora in the classroom through Data-Driven Learning. To put these elements into practice, the last part of this paper is based on the creation of a learning unit aimed for upper secondary English learners with an intermediate level within the Spanish curricular framework.RESUMEN: En el presente trabajo se analizan los tipos y las diferentes posibilidades ofrecidas por los corpus lingüísticos, con el objetivo de evaluar los beneficios y desventajas de su uso directo en el aula. Una vez esto ha sido descrito, se inspeccionan los conceptos de palabra, vocabulario y unidad léxica. Además, se examinan los procesos de afijación y derivación en la formación de palabras y cómo se tratan estos dos procesos en el currículum de educación de lenguas en España. Finalmente, se exploran las bases pedagógicas y los enfoques más comunes del aprendizaje de vocabulario en inglés, entre los cuales se encuentra el uso directo de los corpus en el aula a través del Data-Driven Learning. Para poner estos elementos en práctica, la última parte de este trabajo está basada en la creación de una unidad didáctica dirigida a estudiantes de inglés de la etapa de Bachillerato con un nivel intermedio de inglés, en el contexto del marco curricular español.Máster en Aprendizaje y Enseñanza de Segundas Lenguas / Second Language Learning and Teachin

Double aortic arch diagnosed in a 44-year-old woman with recurring respiratory infections

Complete vascular rings are originated because of the persistence of the fourth aortic arches, which surround the trachea and esophagus partially or completely, compressing them. The most common type of complete vascular ring is the double aortic arch. Symptoms usually appear in the first months of life, and are provoked by esophageal and tracheal compression. The diagnosis is usually made through the chest X-ray and the esophagogram in patients with dysphagia. We present a case in which the diagnosis of a double aortic arch was made in adulthood, suspected through a spirometry test and a chest X-ray

HTML5 support for an accessible user-video-interaction on the Web

Multimedia content covers the Web, and we should provide access to all people. For this reason, it is very important to take into account accessibility requirements in the player to avoid barriers and to ensure access to this multimedia content as well as their resources. One of the most frequent barriers is the technological obstacle: the necessity for the user to install the required plug-ins in to order to access video. The new standard HTML5 provides a solution to this problem. However, it does not fully support accessibility requirements of W3C standards, including WCAG and interaction requirement of UAAG. This paper introduces an overall study of this new standard in relation to accessibility requirements for the players as well as an accessible HTML5 Media Player.This research work is supported by the Research Network MAVIR (S2009/TIC-1542 (www.mavir.net/)), GEMMA (TSI-020302-2010-141) and SAGAS (TSI-020100-2010- 184) research projects

Participación de las víctimas del conflicto armado que residen en la Localidad de Bosa, en el marco de la restitución de tierras y acceso a la vivienda

Este trabajo recoge la experiencia de acompañamiento psicosocial que se desarrolló en la Localidad de Bosa alrededor del tema de la participación de las víctimas del conflicto armado ubicadas en este sector de la ciudad, cuyo objetivo general era plasmar la experiencia de la población víctima en el proceso de exigibilidad de derechos, específicamente el derecho a la restitución de tierras (Ley 1448 de 2011) y el derecho a una vivienda digna. La apuesta metodológica de este análisis se fundamentó en los presupuestos de la investigación cualitativa con perspectiva discursiva, con el fin de subrayar la importancia del lenguaje como práctica social para la construcción de la realidad. Los resultados se construyeron a partir de dos categorías conceptuales: movilización y debate público, y significado de territorio, por medio de insumos como: memorias y relatorías del Foro del Derecho a la Propiedad y al Hábitat de las víctimas del conflicto armado: Vivienda y Restitución de Tierras, el análisis de la información de diferentes encuentros y reuniones desarrollados en la localidad en torno a dicho Foro.This graduation work contains the experience of the psychosocial support developed in Bosa about the participation of victims of armed conflict located in this area of the city, whose overall objective was to reflect the experience of this population and their rights advocacy processes, specifically the Land Restitution Right (1448 Law of 2011, Colombia) and the Dignified Housing Right. The method used for the analysis of this work was based on the qualitative research assumptions with discursive perspective, with the purpose of highlight the importance of language as a social practice to construct reality. The results were organized in two conceptual categories: movilization - public debate, and the meaning of territory, this information was gathered from the analysis of reports and minutes from different meetings with the victim population and especifically from the Right to Property and Habitat for the armed conflict victims Forum: Housing and Land Restitution (2014) .Psicólogo (a)Pregrad

Requisitos de accesibilidad web en los reproductores multimedia

Proceeding of: XII Congreso de Interacción Persona-Ordenador (2011). Took place 2011, september 02-05, in Lisbora (Portugal).El contenido de vídeo se ha ido incorporando en la Web sin tener en mente las barreras de accesibilidad que pueden llegar a incorporar si no se hace de forma adecuada. Dado su gran aumento, es fundamental dar un cambio de rumbo, y empezar a incluir contenido de vídeo que cumpla los requisitos de accesibilidad necesarios para que puedan acceder a él el mayor número de usuarios posible. En la interacción del usuario con la reproducción de un vídeo intervienen muchos aspectos, siendo de gran importancia el agente de usuario web (navegadores, reproductores, etc.). A través de los reproductores multimedia los usuarios acceden a los contenidos de tipo vídeo, por lo que es fundamental que éstos cumplan un mínimo de requisitos de accesibilidad. En este artículo se presentan estándares, normativa y buenas prácticas relativas, así como una propuesta de método ágil de evaluación de los requisitos de accesibilidad en un reproductor multimedia. Por último, como un recurso a profesionales que quieran incluir reproductores multimedia accesibles en sus sitios web, se proporcionan unas guías básicas.Este trabajo de investigación está apoyado por el Research Network MAVIR (S2009/TIC-1542 (ver www.mavir.net/)), y por los proyectos de investigación GEMMA (TSI-020302-2010-141) y SAGAS (TSI-020100-2010-184).Publicad

A Study of Accessibility Requirements for Media Players on the Web

Proceedings of: The 6th International Conference on Universal Access in Human–Computer Interaction (UAHCI 2011), held as part of The 14th International Conference on Human–Computer Interaction (HCI International 2011), Orlando (FL, USA), July 9-14, 2011Multimedia content covers the Web, and we should provide access to all people. For this reason, we must consider including accessibility requirements in a synchronized manner with the alternative resources such as caption and audio description among others. In addition, it is very important to take into account accessibility requirements in the player to avoid barriers and to ensure access to this multimedia content as well as their resources. This paper presents an overall study on standards and players with accessibility requirements. Moreover, solutions to improve the accessibility features in the YouTube player are presented. Based on this study, we have distinguished a set of guidelines to take into account for including accessibility requirements in players. Furthermore, we suggest an agile evaluation process which indicates the order of accessibility guidelines to check. Finally, the proposed evaluation method is put into practice with a case study: accessibility features are evaluated in three widely used players.This research work is supported by the Research Network MAVIR (S2009/TIC-1542 (see www.mavir.net/)), and GEMMA (TSI-020302-2010-141) and SAGAS (TSI-020100-2010-184) research project

Web Accessibility Requirements for Media Players

Video Content continues to strenghten on the Web, because of that fact, it is neccessary to include video content with suitable accessibility requirements to be used by all people. User Agent (such as player, browser), also have to include accessibility requirements. In this paper a set of basic guidelines is included for professionals who want to embed video players on their Web.This research work is supported by the Research Network MAVIR (S2009/TIC-1542 (see wwwmavir.net/)), and GEMMA (TSI-020302-2010-141) and SAGAS (TSI-020100-2010-184) research projects

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN WORK-FAMILY CONFLICT AND JOB SATISFACTION: THE MODERATING EFFECT OF GENDER AND THE SALIENCE OF FAMILY AND WORK ROLES

Work-family conflict has become an issue of particular concern to today’s businesses. Its prevalence among employees and the negative consequences of this conflict for one’s job satisfaction has led it to become one of the problems that managers and directors have to deal with most. Although there have been researches into the relationship between work-family conflict and job satisfaction, few studies have analysed the role of gender in this relationship. The objectives of this study are to analyse the moderating role of gender and of the salience of family and work roles in the work-to-family conflict and general job satisfaction, while the job’s characteristics are controlled. 162 workers from a Spanish public organisation took part in the study. The results from the regression analysis confirms the moderating effect of gender on the relationship between work-to-family conflict and job satisfaction, such that women show a lower level of job satisfaction than men. However, the salience of the family and work roles were not found to have a moderating effect on the aforementioned relationship, neither in the case of men nor in women. The results are discussed in the context of the theory of role identity salience and the gender role theory, as well as the possible cultural effects

WORK FAMILY AND FAMILY WORK CONFLICT: DOES INTRINSIC, EXTRINSIC SATISFACTION MEDIATE THE PREDICTION OF GENERAL JOB SATISFACTION?

The objective of this study is to analyze the mediating role of intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction in the relationship between the 2 dimensions of work–family conflict—family interfering with work (FIW) and work interfering with family (WIF)—and general job satisfaction. Step-by-step hierarchical regression analyses were carried out on a sample of 151 men and women from a Spanish public organization. The results confirmed the mediating role of intrinsic job satisfaction in the case of FIW. This highlights the importance of taking into account the level of satisfaction with the intrinsic facets of one’s job as a measure for understanding why FIW has a negative impact on general job satisfaction

Family Functioning Assessment Instruments in Adults with a Non-Psychiatric Chronic Disease: A Systematic Review

There is little information on the evaluation of family functioning in adult patients with chronic non-psychiatric illness. The objective of this systematic review was to identify family functioning assessment instruments of known validity and reliability that have been used in health research on patients with a chronic non-psychiatric illness. We conducted a search in three biomedical databases (PubMed, Science Direct, and Web of Science), for original articles available in English or Spanish published between 2000 and 2019. The review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Fourteen articles were included in the review. The instruments Family Assessment Device, Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scales, Family Functioning Health and Social Support, Family APGAR, Assessment of Strategies in Families-Effectiveness, Iceland Expressive Family Functioning, Brief Family Assessment Measure-III, and Family Relationship Index were identified. All of them are reliable instruments to evaluate family functioning in chronic patients and could be very valuable to help nurses identify families in need of a psychosocial intervention. The availability and clinical application of these instruments will allow nurses to generate knowledge on family health and care for non-psychiatric chronic conditions, and will eventually contribute to the health and wellbeing of adults with a non-psychiatric chronic disease and their familie
