The socio-structural roots of fundamentalist Islamic terrorism

Islamic fundamentalist terrorism is not a monolithic phenomenon, as its protagonists have been multiple and varied actors. In spite of its diversity, the roots of this phenomenon can be found in the very historical background of arab-muslim countries, and in the political, social and economic structure of these societies. It is then necessary to analyze this entire series of variables, in order to interpret the role and the effectiveness of islamic fundamentalist terrorism in the world today.El terrorismo fundamentalista islámico no es un fenómeno monolítico, ya que es protagonizado por múltiples y variados actores. A pesar de su diversidad, este fenómeno hunde sus raíces en la propia trayectoria histórica de los países árabe-musulmanes, y en el tipo de estructura política, social y económica de estas sociedades. El análisis de dicha serie de variables es indispensable para poder interpretar el papel y la eficacia del terrorismo fundamentalista islámico en el mundo actual

Las áreas de contenido, dominios cognitivos y nivel de desempeño del aprendizaje de la Matemática en la educación primaria

La evaluación de la calidad de la educación es un proceso en el que se involucran los estudiantes, los docentes, la familia y la sociedad. Decir que se posee un alto índice de calidad en la educación requiere de la aplicación de instrumentos que demuestren las competencias y desempeños de los factores antes mencionados. Los maestros, como un eslabón importante en esta cadena, necesitan conocer los presupuestos teóricos que sustentan dicha evaluación; en tal sentido, el artículo refiere por los autores una reflexión a partir del estudio de documentos de organismos internacionales como la ONU y la UNICEF así como de los diferentes grupos de trabajos sobre evaluación de la calidad de la educación, en la asignatura de Matemática, donde se resumen importantes presupuestos

De manera que, fue necesario prestarle atención a los elementos que la componen; entre los que se encuentran; métodos, procedimientos y técnicas. Estos, permiten presentar los resultados de la generalización de la actividad científica. Además, a partir del impacto que recibe la ciencia pedagógica, están dirigidas a enriquecer; la investigación pedagógica, la teoría pedagógica, o la práctica pedagógica. Lo anterior, implica un ejemplo de aplicación a un estudio de profundización para la generalización de los resultados científicos a la formación inicial del profesional de educación en las universidades

Conservation of Spatial Memory Function in the Pallial Forebrain of Reptiles and Ray-Finned Fishes

The hippocampus of mammals and birds is critical for spatial memory. Neuroanatomical evidence indicates that the medial cortex (MC) of reptiles and the lateral pallium (LP) of ray-finned fishes could be homologous to the hippocampus of mammals and birds. In this work, we studied the effects of lesions to the MC of turtles and to the LP of goldfish in spatial memory. Lesioned animals were trained in place, and cue maze tasks and crucial probe and transfer tests were performed. In experiment 1, MC-lesioned turtles in the place task failed to locate the goal during trials in which new start positions were used, whereas sham animals navigated directly to the goal independently of start location. In contrast, no deficit was observed in cue learning. In experiment 2, LP lesion produced a dramatic impairment in goldfish trained in the place task, whereas medial and dorsal pallium lesions did not decrease accuracy. In addition, none of these pallial lesions produced deficits in cue learning. These results indicate that lesions to the MC of turtles and to the LP of goldfish, like hippocampal lesions in mammals and birds, selectively impair map-like memory representations of the environmental space. Thus, the forebrain structures of reptiles and teleost fish neuroanatomically equivalent to the mammalian and avian hippocampus also share a central role in spatial cognition. Present results suggest that the presence of a hippocampus-dependent spatial memory system is a primitive feature of the vertebrate forebrain that has been conserved through evolution.Dirección General de Enseñanza Superior de EspañaJunta de Andalucí

Biomechanical Test of a New Endoprosthesis for Cylindrical Medullary Canals in Dogs

Exo-endoprosthesis is a limb salvage procedure for animals, although only expensive metal devices have been described. Now-a-days, new materials for this type of implant could be considered due to novel and affordable manufacturing techniques. However, a factor of safety (FoS) should be considered. There are kinetic and kinematic studies of canine natural gaits, which can be used to establish an FoS for mechanical tests for new non-metallic devices. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is used in different specialties in human medicine. Its mechanical properties (and its close mechanical stiffness to that of bone) make this polymer an alternative to metals in veterinary traumatology. PEEK could also be used in 3D printing. The suitability of a novel inner part of an exo-endoprosthesis manufactured by fuse deposition modeling (FDM) was presented in this study for long canine bones. Mechanical characterization of 3D-printed PEEK material and ex vivo mechanical tests of a customized endoprosthesis were performed to address it. Young's modulus of 3D-printed PEEK suffered a reduction of 30% in relation to bulk PEEK. Customized 3D-printed PEEK endoprostheses had promising outcomes for the tibiae of 20 kg dogs. Pure compression tests of the non-inserted endoprostheses showed a maximum force of 936 +/- 199 N. In the bending tests of non-inserted endoprostheses, the PEEK part remained intact. Quasistatic mechanical tests of bone-inserted endoprostheses (compression-bending and pure compression tests) reached a maximum force of 785 +/- 101 N and 1,642 +/- 447 N, respectively. In fatigue tests, the samples reached 500,000 cycles without failure or detriment to their quasistatic results. These outcomes surpass the natural weight-bearing of dogs, even during a galloping pace. In conclusion, the 3D-printed PEEK part of the endoprosthesis for an exo-endoprosthesis can withstand loading, even during a galloping pace.Depto. de Medicina y Cirugía AnimalFac. de VeterinariaTRUEComunidad de Madridpu

The information management in palliative care

According to the patient’s autonomy law (Law 41/2002, of November 14), is the patient who has the right to be informed and the owner of the information it receives. It has developed a structured interview was administered randomly to the relatives of the patients in the care process Palliative Care Unit (PCU) of the Virgen de las Nieves Hospital of Granada, to assess the level of awareness about this law. In addition to assessing the level of knowledge that the patient has about their diagnosis / prognosis. The data obtained in this study contrast with the Act, where less than half of patients, according to their families, know their disease and a lower figure is reported fourth of its forecast. Also, most advanced patient relatives are against the law of patient autonomy. This requires that more professionals we strive to achieve a communicative process that brings the patient to his reality and support in their last phase of life

Effects of Satureja brevicalyx essential oil inhalation on coping premenstrual syndrome

Introduction: The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of Satureja brevicalyx essential oil inhalation on premenstrual syndrome. Methods: The oils were extracted by hydro-distillation using a modified Clevenger-type apparatus and chemical composition was performed by Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Furthermore, a quasi-experimental study was conducted, where 61 participants were divided in two groups, comprising an experimental with essential oils and a control group with no treatment. Main psychological symptoms were assessed with the used of Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) as well as total score of premenstrual syndrome was evaluated with Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS). Results: chemical analysis showed that linalool (17.6%) was the main component. All variables showed a decrease in posttest study phase in comparison with pretest in experimental group (p <0.05). A large size effect was observed for anxiety (d = 1.25; Δ = 1.35). Besides, moderate changes were found for depression (d = 0.79; Δ = 0.81) and premenstrual syndrome total score (d = 0.62; Δ = 0.56). Conclusion: The essential oil of Satureja brevicalyx exerts a potencial use, especially for the treatment of psychological symptoms of premenstrual syndrome
