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

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

A new isosurface extraction method on arbitrary grids

The development of interface-capturing methods (such as level-set, phase-field or volume of fluid (VOF) methods) for arbitrary 3D grids has further highlighted the need for more accurate and efficient interface reconstruction procedures. In this work, we propose a new method for the extraction of isosurfaces on arbitrary polyhedra that can be used with advantage for this purpose. The isosurface is extracted from volume fractions by a general polygon tracing procedure, which is valid for convex or non-convex geometries, even with non-planar faces. The proposed method, which can be considered as an extension of the marching cubes technique, produces consistent results even for ambiguous situations in polyhedra of arbitrary shape. To show the reproducibility of the results presented in this work, we provide the open source library isoap, which has been developed to implement the proposed method and includes test programs to demonstrate the successful extraction of isosurfaces on several grids with polyhedral cells of different types. We present results obtained not only for isosurface extraction from discrete volume fractions resulting from a volume of fluid method, but also from data sets obtained from implicit mathematical functions and signed distances to scanned surfaces. The improvement provided by the proposed method for the extraction of isosurfaces in arbitrary grids will also be very useful in other fields, such as CFD visualization or medical imaging.The authors gratefully acknowledge the support of the Spanish Ministerio de Ciencia, Innovación y Universidades - Agencia Estatal de Investigación and FEDER through projects DPI2017-87826-C2-1-P and DPI2017-87826-C2-2-P
