Estudio del estado de la visión de una muestra de conductores

Aquest treball de final de grau segueix la línia de l’estudi “Estudio de la visión de los conductores y conductoras que visitaron el salón del RACC del automóvil 2015” realitzat en la Facultat d’Òptica i Optometria de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya el passat gener de 2015. Els objectius principals del nostre estudi són: 1. Avaluar l’estat de la visió actual dels conductors espanyols. 2. Analitzar si l’estat de visió actual dels conductors és apte per obtenir o prorrogar un permís de conduir. 3. Comprovar si la normativa actual és adequada per avaluar la capacitat visual en els conductors. 4. Recomanar nous criteris o modificacions en la normativa actual. Les dades es van obtenir amb el instrument “Control Vision Optec 5.000 P-G” a un total de 400 persones voluntàries. El 100% de la mostra eren adults i amb un permís de conduir vàlid a l’Estat Espanyol. Les proves es van realitzar en diferents esdeveniments on vam aprofitar en la majoria d’ells la participació de la RACC per augmentar el nombre de voluntaris. Les proves realitzades en els diferents esdeveniments van tenir lloc a Barcelona, Montmeló i Tarrassa, del 4 de desembre del 2015 fins el 31 de març del 2016. En aquestes proves primerament es realitzava una anamnesi (edat, sexe, antiguitat del carnet de conduir, etc.) i seguidament es van avaluar varies capacitats visuals (agudesa visual, camp visual, estereopsis, etc.). Les dades recollides, s’han analitzat mitjançant el programa estadístic MiniTab. L’anàlisi s’ha basat en la descripció de la distribució de cada una de les variables, així com de la distribució conjunta d’algunes parelles de variables rellevants per descobrir els possibles efectes de causalitat entre ells, a més de les representacions gràfiques corresponents per mostrar d’una manera més clara aquestes relacions entre factors. Les principals conclusions en relació als objectius fixats han sigut les següents: - Un 16,3% de la població adulta actual no seria considerada apta per renovar el permís de conduir (ni per obtenir-lo en un primer lloc). - S’ha posat de manifest que s’hauria de revisar i actualitzar la normativa actual, així com els exàmens visuals relacionats amb la renovació u obtenció del carnet de conduir

La idea de Raimon Panikkar sobre la plenitud de la vida a través de la literatura: Don Juan, Fausto y Siddhartha

Treballs Finals de Grau de Filosofia, Facultat de Filosofia, Universitat de Barcelona. Curs: 2022-2023. Tutor: Margarita Mauri ÁlvarezEl presente trabajo busca defender la propuesta de Raimon Panikkar sobre la experiencia plena de la vida mediante una exploración a través de la literatura. Según tal concepción, la vida humana se encuentra truncada mientras no se integren las tres dimensiones de la experiencia: la sensible, la intelectual y la espiritual. Tal tesis se ilustrará, en primer lugar, observando las consecuencias que provoca la exageración de alguna de estas tres dimensiones, utilizando a la literatura como escenario de la vida. Para ello, se hará un recorrido literario que arranca en el Don Juan de Zorrilla, pasa por el Fausto de Goethe, y finaliza en el Siddhartha de Hesse, siendo leído cada uno de ellos como el símbolo de cada una de estas tres dimensiones. Finalmente se argumentará que, en el Siddhartha adulto, recogiendo lo aprendido de Don Juan y Fausto, se puede encontrar una buena ejemplificación de la idea de Panikkar sobre la experiencia plena de la vida

Full configuration interaction calculation of BeH adiabatic states

An all-electron full configuration interaction (FCI) calculation of the adiabatic potential energy curves of some of the lower states of BeH molecule is presented. A moderately large ANO basis set of atomic natural orbitals (ANO) augmented with Rydberg functions has been used in order to describe the valence and Rydberg states and their interactions. The Rydberg set of ANOs has been placed on the Be at all bond distances. So, the basis set can be described as 4s3p2d1f/3s2p1d(Be/H)+4s4p2d(Be). The dipole moments of several states and transition dipole strengths from the ground state are also reported as a function of the RBe–H distance. The position and the number of states involved in several avoided crossings present in this system have been discussed. Spectroscopic parameters have been calculated from a number of the vibrational states that result from the adiabatic curves except for some states in which this would be completely nonsense, as it is the case for the very distorted curves of the 3s and 3p math states or the double-well potential of the 4p math state. The so-called “D complex” at 54 050 cm−1 (185.0 nm) is resolved into the three 3d substates (math,math,math). A diexcited valence state is calculated as the lowest state of math symmetry and its spectroscopic parameters are reported, as well as those of the 2 math (4d) state The adiabatic curve of the 4 math state shows a swallow well at large distances (around 4.1 Å) as a result of an avoided crossing with the 3 math state. The probability that some vibrational levels of this well could be populated is discussed within an approached Landau–Zerner model and is found to be high. No evidence is found of the E(4sσ) math state in the region of the “D complex”. Instead, the spectroscopic properties obtained from the (4sσ) 6 math adiabatic curve of the present work seem to agree with those of the experimental F(4pσ) math state. The FCI calculations provide benchmark results for other correlation models for the open-shell BeH system and evidence both the limitations and capabilities of the basis [email protected] [email protected]

From Silk to Digital Technologies: A Gateway to New Opportunities for Creative Industries, Traditional Crafts and Designers. The SILKNOW Case

Nowadays, cultural heritage is more than ever linked to the present. It links us to our cultural past through the conscious act of preserving and bequeathing to future generations, turning society into its custodian. The appreciation of cultural heritage happens not only because of its communicative power, but also because of its economic power, through sustainable development and the promotion of creative industries. This paper presents SILKNOW, an EU-H2002 funded project and its application to cultural heritage, as well as to creative industries and design innovation. To this end, it presents the use of image recognition tools applied to cultural heritage, through the interoperability of data in the open-access registers of silk museums and its presentation, analysis and creative process carried out by the design students of EASD Valencia as a case study, in the branches of jewellery and fashion project, inspired by the heritage of silk

Lower Rydberg series of methane : A combined coupled cluster linear response and molecular quantum defect orbital calculation

Vertical excitation energies as well as related absolute photoabsorption oscillator strength data are very scarce in the literature for methane. In this study, we have characterized the three existing series of low-lying Rydberg states of CH4 by computing coupled cluster linear response (CCLR) vertical excitation energies together with oscillator strengths in the molecular-adapted quantum defect orbital formalism from a distorted Cs geometry selected on the basis of outer valence green function calculations. The present work provides a wide range of data of excitation energies and absolute oscillator strengths which correspond to the Rydberg series converging to the three lower ionization potential values of the distorted methane molecule, in energy regions for which experimentally measured data appear to be [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Innovación sanitaria en la gestión del riesgo de caídas de personas mayores en Atención Primaria

[ES] Las caídas son actualmente uno de los problemas de salud más frecuentes y graves en las personas mayores. La gestión sociosanitaria eficiente desde el punto de vista preventivo se destaca como uno de los objetivos principales para afrontar esta problemática. Para dar respuesta a ello, el IBV y el Hospital Universitario de la Ribera, gestionado por Ribera Salud II UTE Ley 18/82, llevan a cabo de forma conjunta una línea de investigación para desarrollar y validar nuevos avances tecnológicos. El proyecto que se presenta a continuación ha servido para conocer la aplicabilidad y utilidad de la herramienta FallSkip en el contexto de la consulta del médico de Atención Primaria. Se han valorado, entre otros aspectos, el tiempo y la facilidad de uso, así como la utilidad de la información proporcionada en la evaluación del riesgo de caídas respecto a los métodos convencionales basados en cuestionarios y escalas clínicas.Folch, B.; Donato, C.; Ruivo, M.; Ruiz, A.; Tapia, A.; Palop, V.; Pitarch Corresa, S....

The rovibrational spectrum of BeH, MgH and CaH at high temperatures in the X 2Σ+X\,{}^2\Sigma^+ state: a theoretical study

Accurate line lists for three molecules, BeH, MgH and CaH, in their ground electronic states are presented. These line lists are suitable for temperatures relevant to exoplanetary atmospheres and cool stars (up to 2000K). A combination of empirical and \textit{ab initio} methods is used. The rovibrational energy levels of BeH, MgH and CaH are computed using the programs Level and DPotFit in conjunction with `spectroscopic' potential energy curves (PECs). The PEC of BeH is taken from the literature, while the PECs of CaH and MgH are generated by fitting to the experimental transition energy levels. Both spin-rotation interactions (except for BeH, for which it is negligible) and non-adiabatic corrections are explicitly taken into account. Accurate line intensities are generated using newly computed \textit{ab initio} dipole moment curves for each molecule using high levels of theory. Full line lists of rotation-vibration transitions for $^9$BeH, $^{24}$MgH, $^{25}$MgH, $^{26}$MgH and $^{40}$CaH are made available in an electronic form as supplementary data to this article and at \url{www.exomol.com}.Comment: MNRAS (in press

Factors associated with the development of septic shock in patients with candidemia: a post hoc analysis from two prospective cohorts

[Background] Almost one third of the patients with candidemia develop septic shock. The understanding why some patients do and others do not develop septic shock is very limited. The objective of this study was to identify variables associated with septic shock development in a large population of patients with candidemia.[Methods] A post hoc analysis was performed on two prospective, multicenter cohort of patients with candidemia from 12 hospitals in Spain and Italy. All episodes occurring from September 2016 to February 2018 were analyzed to assess variables associated with septic shock development defined according to The Third International Consensus Definition for Sepsis and Septic Shock (Sepsis-3).[Results] Of 317 candidemic patients, 99 (31.2%) presented septic shock attributable to candidemia. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identifies the following factors associated with septic shock development: age > 50 years (OR 2.57, 95% CI 1.03–6.41, p = 0.04), abdominal source of the infection (OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.04–4.55, p = 0.04), and admission to a general ward at the time of candidemia onset (OR 0.21, 95% CI, 0.12–0.44, p = 0.001). Septic shock development was independently associated with a greater risk of 30-day mortality (OR 2.14, 95% CI 1.08–4.24, p = 0.02).[Conclusions] Age and abdominal source of the infection are the most important factors significantly associated with the development of septic shock in patients with candidemia. Our findings suggest that host factors and source of the infection may be more important for development of septic shock than intrinsic virulence factors of organisms.This study was funded by a research grant from the Ministerio de Sanidad y Consumo, Instituto de Salud Carlos III [FIS PI15/00744], European Regional Development Fund (ERDF); CGV is a recipient of an INTENSIFICACIÓ Grant from the “Strategic plan for research and innovation in health-PERIS 2016-2020” and forms part of the Fungi CLINIC Research group (AGAUR-Project 2017SGR1432 of the Catalan Health Agency)

Los medios indígenas en América Latina: Usos, sentidos y cartografías de una experiencia plural

Este artículo presenta un análisis del estado de la comunicación indígena en América Latina con un enfoque etnográfico y comparativo basado en seis estudios de caso: México, Guatemala, Panamá, Colombia, Bolivia y Argentina. Nuestro estudio se ocupa de la situación de los «paisajes mediáticos», es decir, la proliferación de medios de comunicación tecnológica en cada contexto, sus usos sociales efectivos y sus transformaciones en el tiempo. Para ello destacamos tres aspectos analíticos: 1) las innovaciones en la comunicación indígena, las cuales han pasado de un énfasis en la apropiación tecnológica a la necesidad de su incorporación como valor cultural, así como un cambio de énfasis en la «resistencia» a la idea de «descolonización» de los medios, 2) las características que definen la comunicación indígena, y 3) la constatación de su heterogeneidad e implicación en realidades sociales y políticas concretas y locales
