Methodology for muscle recovery, through motor imagery techniques applying virtual reality

"Recovery of movement is a long and hard process for patients. One of the most common problems that occurs is the so-called ""phantom limb"", which induces the body to feel strange due to the failure to use the injured limb. This process is due to the lack of use of the leg that in most cases is fractured and the long recovery time, so the use of crutches makes the body in conjunction with the brain understand that normal movement of the body is with the leg suspended and always with the help of crutches. In the present work a technique for the retraining of the brain is presented by means of which the brain is taught through the presentation of images if it corresponds to the right and left side of the arms and legs. This retraining makes it possible for the brain to understand the coordinated movement between the arms and legs. In addition to the use of virtual reality, through the OCULUS GEST II lenses, allowing maximum concentration, the results allow to improve the recovery time of patients, the technique can be used both in rehabilitation centers and in the patient's own home patient.

Methodology for the multichannel recording of upper limb muscle activity

In the study of the functioning of the muscle, the study standard is to be able to analyze its behavior or functioning, this behavior is represented by a continuous signal where the muscle signal can be recorded and visualized, to perform this registration a designed circuit is required. For the capture of electromyography signals, there are many options of these circuits in the market, depending on the application, the part of the body that is required to be analyzed, the best option can be chosen, in this work, we present a methodology for recording in Simultaneous 8 signals, for the characteristic use of the arm muscles, due to its special shape, which allows it to be placed in the form of a bracelet, the signals that are acquired simultaneously and individually, can be used in many applications depending on the problem and challenge, recommending for use on the arm and providing a clean signal allowing Being used in the design of detection mechanisms for some pathologies related to the arm muscles and in the design of control mechanisms for the design of prostheses.Campus Lima Centr

Design of a low-cost system for the monitoring and control of public lighting

The public lighting poles are part of the public lighting system, so its operation is important and is offered as a welfare mechanism for citizens, it has the disadvantage of the high cost of operation because it is in operation all night for 365 days of the year, in this work a low-cost system is designed to be able to supply power to the public lighting poles, based on a solar panel system and with sensors to be able to measure luminosity, voltages and current, this system sends the information to a base station using the XBEE protocol and viewed using LABVIEW software.Campus At

Las competencias emprendedoras del periodista digital

El impacto socioeconómico tiene efectos mundiales y los medios de comunicación no están exentos de ellos, ya que obedecen a tendencias globales, quedando en evidencia la necesidad creciente del desarrollo de las aptitudes y de habilidades personales y sociales de los profesionales de las Ciencias de la Comunicación, de manera que estén preparados para emprender sus propios proyectos, ya sean de manera individual o colectiva, con capacidad de planificar y llevarlos a cabo con integridad y confianza en sí mismos y que sean capaces de perseverar, sobre todo en el entorno digital actual, buscando elevar los índices de calidad. Ello implica ser capaz de alcanzar sus objetivos con responsabilidad, los retos en su desempeño y poder controlar sus reacciones bajo presión. En este sentido, en la presente investigación se ha realizado un análisis de las cualidades emprendedoras de los periodistas digitales para un desempeño exitoso, que tienen su principal fuente de formación profesional a las universidades del país

Las competencias emprendedoras del periodista digital

The socioeconomic impact has global effects and Media is not exempt from them as they follow global trends, leaving growing need evidence of the development of aptitudes and skills (personal and social) from Communication professionals, so that they are prepared to undertake their own projects either individually or collectively, with ability to plan and carry out with integrity and self-confidence and are able to persevere, especially in today’s digital environment, seeking to raise quality indexes, this means being able to achieve its objectives with responsibility, challenges in their performance and to control their reactions under pressure. In this sense for this research it has conducted an analysis of the entrepreneurial qualities of digital journalists for successful performance, which have their main source of vocational training to universities.El impacto socioeconómico tiene efectos mundiales y los medios de comunicación no están exentos de ellos, ya que obedecen a tendencias globales, quedando en evidencia la necesidad creciente del desarrollo de las aptitudes y de habilidades personales y sociales de los profesionales de las Ciencias de la Comunicación, de manera que estén preparados para emprender sus propios proyectos, ya sean de manera individual o colectiva, con capacidad de planificar y llevarlos a cabo con integridad y confianza en sí mismos y que sean capaces de perseverar, sobre todo en el entorno digital actual, buscando elevar los índices de calidad.

Open-label phase I/II clinical trial of SARS-CoV-2 receptor binding domain-tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine (FINLAY-FR-2) in combination with receptor binding domain-protein vaccine (FINLAY-FR-1A) in children

Objectives: To evaluate a heterologous vaccination scheme in children 3-18 years old (y/o) combining two SARS-CoV-2r- receptor binding domain (RBD)protein vaccines. Methods: A phase I/II open-label, adaptive, and multicenter trial evaluated the safety and immunogenicity of two doses of FINLAY-FR-2 (subsequently called SOBERANA 02) and the third heterologous dose of FINLAY-FR-1A (subsequently called SOBERANA Plus) in 350 children 3-18 y/o in Havana Cuba. Primary outcomes were safety (phase I) and safety/immunogenicity (phase II) measured by anti-RBD immunoglobulin (Ig)G enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA), molecular and live-virus neutralization titers, and specific T-cells response. A comparison with adult immunogenicity and predictions of efficacy were made based on immunological results. Results: Local pain was the unique adverse event with frequency >10%, and none was serious neither severe. Two doses of FINLAY-FR-2 elicited a humoral immune response similar to natural infection; the third dose with FINLAY-FR-1A increased the response in all children, similar to that achieved in vaccinated young adults. The geometric mean (GMT) neutralizing titer was 173.8 (95% confidence interval [CI] 131.7; 229.5) vs Alpha, 142 (95% CI 101.3; 198.9) vs Delta, 24.8 (95% CI 16.8; 36.6) vs Beta and 99.2 (95% CI 67.8; 145.4) vs Omicron. Conclusion: The heterologous scheme was safe and immunogenic in children 3-18 y/o. Trial registry: https://rpcec.sld.cu/trials/RPCEC0000037
