Implicaciones visuales en el paisaje urbano de Sevilla del proyecto de la Torre Cajasol

El análisis de las implicaciones visuales de la Torre Cajasol, parte deuna reflexión histórica del papel de las torres en la composición del paisajeurbano de la ciudad, particularizando dicho análisis al caso de Sevilla, mediantela secuencia de su imagen urbana desde el siglo XVI a finales del siglo XX.Se hace una lectura del lugar y del proyecto de la torre aplicando los criteriosanalíticos de Kevin Lynch de su famoso libro “The Image of the City”.The analysis of the visual implications of the Cajasol Tower, comesfrom the historical reflection on the important part that towers play in thecomposition of urban landscape. We specify the analysis on the city ofSeville, looking at the urban image given in pictures from the XVIth centuryto our days. Following the analytical norms given by Kevin Lynch, in hisfamous book "The Image of the City", we apply his criterion to the projectof the Cajasol Tower

Análisis de Imágenes de tres Manuales de Español para Extranjeros bajo el Enfoque de Género

Treballs Finals del Màster de Formació de Professor d'Espanyol com a Llengua Estrangera del "Centro Universitario Internacional de Barcelona (UNIBA)" Adscrit a la Universitat de Barcelona. Curs: 2017-2019, Tutor: Amanda Canals RemoláEste trabajo analiza las imágenes de tres manuales de español para extranjeros para comprobar que no hay inequidad en la representación de ambos sexos y no se emplean imágenes estereotipadas y sexistas de hombres y mujeres. Este análisis se realiza desde una perspectiva legal y ética basada en el interculturalismo como base de la coeducación para fomentar valores más igualitarios entre géneros y promover la aceptación del otro. Los resultados de la investigación nos han permitido establecer que las diferencias cuantitativas son escasas, pero se ha podido constatar cualitativamente el uso de roles estereotipados sobre ambos sexos y la invisibilización de la diversidad.This project analyses the images of three manuals of Spanish language for foreigners to verify that there is no inequity in the representation of both genders, as well stereotypical and sexist images of men and women are not used. This analysis is carried out from a legal and ethical perspective based on interculturalism as a basis for co-education to promote more equal values between genders and promote each other acceptances. The results of the research have allowed us to establish that quantitative differences are scarce. However, it has been possible to verify qualitative the use of stereotyped roles on both genders and the invisibility of diversity

A literature review of the use of gamification in accounting education

[EN] Gamification is a tool that is increasingly used in the field of teaching at all levels of education, from primary to university. Despite the fact that Business Management and Accounting have not remained on the sidelines in studies on the use of game-based learning, the scarcity of such work in this field provides us with only a limited vision of the research that is being carried out in the area. In order to fill this research gap, this paper analyses the academic literature in detail on the use of gamification in accounting education. To this end, an in-depth review of scientific documents retrieved from academic databases has been carried out with the aim of: a) identifying the methodologies used in the research, b) examining the types of games used by researchers, c) establishing the different educational stages where this research is being carried out, d) analysing the samples used, and e) analysing the results obtained in the studies. The results obtained from this review have made it possible to recognise some of the most recurrent work and other research areas in which further exploration can be undertaken within the field of gamification and accounting.Queiro-Ameijieras, CM.; Martí-Parreño, J.; Seguí-Mas, E.; Summerfield, L.

Patient-reported outcomes in European spondyloarthritis patients: a systematic review of the literature

Objective: This review aims to summarize the current literature on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in spondyloarthritis (SpA). Patients and methods: We performed a systematic literature review to identify studies (original articles and narrative and systematic reviews) regarding PROs (health-related quality of life [HRQoL], satisfaction, preferences, adherence/compliance, and persistence) in SpA patients published in the European Union through December 2016. International databases (Medline/ PubMed, Cochrane Library, ISI Web of Knowledge, Scopus) were searched using keywords in English. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine criteria. Results: A total of 26 publications met the inclusion criteria. Generally, studies indicated that SpA has a negative impact on patients’ HRQoL. In patients with ankylosing spondylitis, physical domains were more affected than emotional ones, whereas for psoriatic arthritis, both physical and psychological factors were strongly affected by the disease. Data indicated that biological agents (BAs) greatly contributed to improvement in HRQoL in both ankylosing spondylitis and psoriatic arthritis patients. Findings on compliance with BAs were heterogeneous. However, persistence rates exceeded 50% irrespective of the BA administered. Results on preferences indicated that most SpA patients prefer being involved in decisions regarding their treatment and that besides efficacy and safety, frequency and route of administration may influence patients’ preferences for BAs. Conclusion: Implementing management programs for SpA patients focuses on the physical, emotional, and social consequences of the disease, in addition to assessing and including patient preferences in the treatment decision-making process, could be crucial to improve patients’ HRQoL and ensure their satisfaction and compliance with treatment

HLA-C locus alleles may modulate the clinical expression of psoriatic arthritis

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relative contribution of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-C locus alleles in determining the risk and the clinical expression of psoriatic arthritis (PsA). One hundred PsA patients were randomly selected and grouped into three disease subsets: oligoarthritis (n = 40), polyarthritis (n = 25) and spondylitis (n = 35). The HLA-C locus profile of this cohort was studied by methods based on molecular biology and was compared with that of 45 patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 177 healthy blood donors from the same ethnic origin. HLA-Cw*0602 was found associated with both psoriasis (odds ratio (OR) 6.2; 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.1 to 12.5; p < 0.0001) and PsA (OR 6.2; 95% CI 3.6 to 10.8; p < 0.0001); however, this allele was equally found among the PsA subsets. HLA-Cw6-positive patients showed a longer psoriasis-arthritis latency period (p = 0.012). HLA-Cw*0701 was found under-represented in PsA in comparison with controls (OR 0.5; 95% CI 0.3 to 0.9; p = 0.04), as was HLA-Cw*0802 (OR 0.3; 95% CI 0.08 to 1; p = 0.05). A positive association was found between psoriatic spondylitis and HLA-Cw*0702 (OR 5.0; 95% CI 1.4 to 25; p = 0.01). HLA-Cw*0602 seems to confer a general risk for psoriasis, but the presence of other HLA-C locus alleles may explain an additional arthritogenic risk. HLA-C alleles may modulate some aspects of the clinical expression of PsA, but these findings need confirmation
