Plan de Acción Tutorial y trabajo colaborativo para el apoyo al desarrollo del TFG
Innovación EducativaLos cambios en la concepción de la Enseñanza Universitaria desde la adaptación al EEES han obligado a profesores y alumnos a modificar sus modelos de enseñanza y aprendizaje, respectivamente. La importancia de la adquisición de competencias y la precisa delimitación de objetivos en cada materia obliga a ensayar nuevas metodologías docentes basadas en la colaboración entre profesores y entre éstos y los estudiantes.
La aplicación de metodologías más flexibles, en las que el protagonismo del alumno va creciendo, permite detectar carencias, fortalezas o aptitudes que, compartidas y puestas al servicio de una acción grupal, permiten obtener mejores resultados académicos.
Concretamente, los grados exigen de la realización de un trabajo final denominado Trabajo Fin de Grado, de carácter personal y original y que exige del estudiante un importante esfuerzo de madurez intelectual.
Desde hace cuatro cursos, varios profesores de la Facultad de Ciencias Empresariales y del Trabajo han estado implicados en la tutela de los estudiantes matriculados en TFG a través de una acción formativa colectiva, encaminada a sentar las bases generales relativas a la realización de este trabajo. Tras este periodo creemos necesario hacer balance de la herramienta, para identificar deficiencias y para lograr mejorar la acción formativa y, por ende, los resultados de los estudiantes.Proyecto de Innovación Docente.

After Stroke Movement Impairments: A Review of Current Technologies for Rehabilitation
This chapter presents a review of the rehabilitation technologies for people who have suffered a stroke, comparing and analyzing the impact that these technologies have on their recovery in the short and long term. The problematic is presented, and motor impairments for upper and lower limbs are characterized. The goal of this chapter is to show novel trends and research for the assistance and treatment of motor impairment caused by strokes

Determination of genes involved in heat resistance response of Cronobacter sakazakii
Cronobacter sakazakii is considered an emerging opportunistic pathogen causing
meningitis, septicaemia and enterocilitis in neonates, related to the use of
contaminated Powdered Infant Formula (PIF). C. sakazakii has an unusual surviving
ability under dry conditions and has been suggested to be one of the most
thermotolerant members of the Enterobacteriaceae. It is necessary to understand the
molecular mechanisms underlying the thermal resistance of C. sakazakii and may
ultimately be useful in the development of control strategies in PIF factories. In the
current study, a transposon mutagenesis approach was used to identify the genes
involved in heat resistance. A total of 23 mutants were found corresponding to 12
different defective genes. Heat resistance of selected mutants were determined with
the use of the thermoresistometer Mastia. Only 2 mutants had a greater sensitivity to
heat compared with the heat resistance of the wild type. Genes identified to be
involved in the cellular response to thermal treatments were Ribosome maturation
protein RimP and Outer membrane Porin L (OmpL). The results suggest that the novo
protein synthesis, and the use of cysteine for the formation of disulfide bonds for
stabilization of proteins against denaturation during thermal treatments are key
processes in the resistance against heat stress.The financial support of this research was provided by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the Spanish Government and

Effects of deep dry needling on tremor severity and functionality in stroke: A case report
This study aimed to determine the effect of one session of dry needling on the severity of tremor, motor function and skills, and quality of life of a 39-year-old woman with post-stroke tremor. Myofascial trigger points (MTrP) of the following muscles were treated: extensor digitorum, flexor digitorum superficialis and profundus, brachioradialis, short head of biceps brachii, long head of triceps brachii, mid deltoid, infraspinatus, teres minor, upper trapezius, and supraspinatus. Outcomes were assessed via (i) clinical scales (activity of daily living (ADL-T24), a visual analog scale (VAS), and the Archimedes spiral), (ii) a functional test (9-Hole Peg test), and (iii) biomechanical and neurophysiological measurements (inertial sensors, electromyography (EMG), and dynamometry). The subject showed a decrease in the severity of tremor during postural (72.7%) and functional (54%) tasks after treatment. EMG activity decreased after the session and returned to basal levels 4 days after. There was an improvement post-intervention (27.84 s) and 4 days after (32.43 s) in functionality and manual dexterity of the affected limb, measured with the 9-Hole Peg test, as well as in the patient’s hand and lateral pinch strength after the treatment (26.9% and 5%, respectively), that was maintained 4 days later (15.4% and 16.7%, respectively)
Effects of the substituents of pyrazole/thiazine ligands on the magnetic properties of chloro-bridged Cu(II) complexes
[Abstract] We have synthesised and characterised the dimeric copper(II) complexes [{CuCl(PzTz)}2(μ-Cl)2], [{CuCl(DMPzTz)}2(μ-Cl)2] and [{CuCl(DPhPzTz)}2(μ-Cl)2] and the monomeric complex [CuCl2(DMPzTz)] (PzTz = 2-(1-pyrazolyl)-1,3-thiazine, DMPzTz = 2-(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolyl)-1,3-thiazine and DPhPzTz = 2-(3,5-diphenyl-1-pyrazolyl)-1,3-thiazine). Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies show that the geometry around the copper(II) center in the dimeric units is a distorted squared pyramid, while the monomeric compound presents a distorted squared planar coordination. The electronic and magnetic properties of complexes are discussed on the basis of their X-ray structures and EPR spectral studies combined with DFT calculations. Magnetostructural comparisons with structurally similar copper(II) complexes are also carried out. DFT calculations indicate that the dinuclear species are more stable than the mononuclear ones, although the inclusion of methyl or phenyl substituents provokes an important stabilization of the mononuclear forms. DFT calculations fail to predict the sign of the magnetic coupling constants of the complexes whereas multiconfigurational methods, CASSCF/NEVPT2 calculations, predict the correct sign of the exchange coupling constant.Junta de Extremadura; GR15147Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad; CTQ2015-71211-RED
