The autobiographical account as a companion of the formative process

1 archivo PDF (16 páginas). fhquinquagintatresEn este artículo presento una caracterización narrativa de la formación. De la hermenéutica de Ricoeur derivo una manera de entender la labor formativa como configuración autobiográfica, similar a la elaboración de una trama. Considero condiciones reflexivas, temporales y simbólicas del proceso formativo que alcanzan su momento de configuración creativa en un proyecto formativo que se comporta como una trama narrativa. Abstract: In this article I present a narrative characterization of the formative process. From the hermeneutics of Ricoeur I derive a way of understanding the formative work as an autobiographical configuration in the manner of development of a plot because I think reflective, temporary and symbolic conditions of the formation process reaches its moment of creative configuration on a training project that behaves like a narrative plot. PALABRAS CLAVE: Formación, narración, autobiografía, cultura, identidad. KEY WORDS: Formative process, narration, autobiography, culture, identity

Avances en la fabricación de células y módulos fotovoltaicos de silicio en capa fina mediante láser

El láser es un instrumento omnipresente en la fabricación de módulos fotovoltaicos. Los láser estándar para la interconexión monolítica de dispositivos de lámina delgada de a-Si son láser de estado sólido bombeados por diodo (DPSS) emitiendo en longitudes IR (λ=1064 nm) y en VIS (λ=532 nm). En este trabajo mostramos estudios de ablación de algunos materiales fotovoltaicos (óxidos conductores transparentes (OCT) y a-Si) con láser emitiendo en UV en el régimen de nanosegundos (ns). La afección térmica resultante en la ablación es menor, y por tanto se reduciría el riesgo de cortocircuitos en la interconexión monolítica, convirtiendo a las fuentes láser UV como herramientas prometedoras como alternativa a las fuentes estándar. Laser is an essential tool for photovoltaic modules manufacturing. Nowadays DPSS working at IR ( λ=1064 nm) and VIS (λ=532 nm) wavelengths are standard tools for thin film module fabrication. In this work we present ablation studies of some photovoltaic materials (transparent conductive oxides (TCO) and a-Si) using nanoseconds (ns) laser sources emitting in the UV. The thermal affection is minimized, and therefore it would be reduced the short-circuit formation risk in the monolithic interconnection, demonstrating the potential use of ns laser sources emitting in the UV as promising alternative tools to the standard laser sources

Espacio y territorios: razón, pasión e imaginarios

En este caleidoscopio de acercamientos hacia lo espacial y territorial, las visiones se mueven desde aquellas románticas y existencialistas, pasando por aquellas objetivistas y positivistas, hasta las estructuralistas y postestructuralistas. Por el espacio y el territorio se interesan con enfoques diversos numerosas disciplinas, desde la psicología, la etología o la literatura, y las ciencias naturales como la biología o la ecología, hasta las ciencias sociales y políticas, como la geografía, la antropología, la economía y la sociología. Este interés multidisciplinario demuestra la importancia y la complejidad del tema espacial y territorial, y reclama la necesidad de su estudio y comprensión interdisciplinarios, como se intenta con esta publicación

Incidence, Clinical Characteristics and Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Spain : Large-Scale Epidemiological Study

(1) Aims: To assess the incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Spain, to describe the main epidemiological and clinical characteristics at diagnosis and the evolution of the disease, and to explore the use of drug treatments. (2) Methods: Prospective, population-based nationwide registry. Adult patients diagnosed with IBD-Crohn's disease (CD), ulcerative colitis (UC) or IBD unclassified (IBD-U)-during 2017 in Spain were included and were followed-up for 1 year. (3) Results: We identified 3611 incident cases of IBD diagnosed during 2017 in 108 hospitals covering over 22 million inhabitants. The overall incidence (cases/100,000 person-years) was 16 for IBD, 7.5 for CD, 8 for UC, and 0.5 for IBD-U; 53% of patients were male and median age was 43 years (interquartile range = 31-56 years). During a median 12-month follow-up, 34% of patients were treated with systemic steroids, 25% with immunomodulators, 15% with biologics and 5.6% underwent surgery. The percentage of patients under these treatments was significantly higher in CD than UC and IBD-U. Use of systemic steroids and biologics was significantly higher in hospitals with high resources. In total, 28% of patients were hospitalized (35% CD and 22% UC patients, p < 0.01). (4) Conclusion: The incidence of IBD in Spain is rather high and similar to that reported in Northern Europe. IBD patients require substantial therapeutic resources, which are greater in CD and in hospitals with high resources, and much higher than previously reported. One third of patients are hospitalized in the first year after diagnosis and a relevant proportion undergo surgery

Understanding Frailty: Probabilistic Causality between Components and Their Relationship with Death through a Bayesian Network and Evidence Propagation

Identifying relationships between components of an index helps to gain a better understanding of the condition they define. The Frailty Index (FI) measures the global health of individuals and can be used to predict outcomes as mortality. Previously, we modelled the relationship between the FI components (deficits) and death through an undirected graphical model and a social network analysis framework. Here, we model the FI components and death through an averaged Bayesian network obtained through a structural learning process and resampling, in order to understand how the FI components and death are causally related. We identified that components are not similarly related between them and that deficits are related according to their type. Two deficits were the most relevant in terms of their connections, and two others were directly associated with death. We obtained the strength of the relationships in order to identify the most plausible, identifying clusters of deficits. Finally, we propagated evidence and studied how FI components predict mortality, obtaining a correct assignation of almost 74% and a true positive rate (TPR) of 56%. Values were obtained after changing the model threshold (via Youden’s Index maximization) whose possible values are represented in a Receiving Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve (TPR vs. 1-True Negative Rate). The greater number of deficits included for the evidence, the best performances; nevertheless, the FI does not seem to be quite efficient to correctly differentiate between dead and living people
