El paper del joc en el desenvolupament d'infants amb TEA

Jugar no és només un sinònim de diversió, sinó que darrera d’aquesta acció s’amaguen molts elements que són imprescindible per al desenvolupament infantil, ja que l’afavoreix en tots els àmbits de la seva vida. Un nen amb Necessitats Educatives Especial té el mateix dret de gaudir d’una estona de joc, i desenvolupar-­‐se com a persona. De fet, el joc és considerat una eina d’aprenentatge a l’edat infantil. Per això, el present treball de grau té com objectiu principal analitzar la importància del joc com a eina educativa amb infants amb un Trastorn de l’Espectre Autista. S’utilitza una metodologia qualitativa, i a través de l’observació, s’analitza com el joc ajuda a un infant amb Trastorn de l’Espectre Autista a adquirir determinades habilitats i capacitats que li permeten tenir certa autonomia. Els resultats obtinguts, permeten afirmar que la Unitat de Suport a l’Educació Especial utilitza el joc com un recurs didàctic per a treballar amb infants amb Autisme. Per això, es planteja una proposta d’intervenció dins d’aquesta unitat.

Study and modeling of the desintegration kinetics of coated paper

The disintegration of recovered paper is the first operation in the preparation of recycled pulp. It is known that the defibering process follows a first order kinetics from which it is possible to obtain the disintegration kinetic constant (KD) by means of different ways. The disintegration constant can be obtained from the Somerville index results (%lsv and from the dissipated energy per volume unit (Ss). The %slv is related to the quantity of non-defibrated paper, as a measure of the non-disintegrated fiber residual (percentage of flakes), which is expressed in disintegration time units. In this work, disintegration kinetics from recycled coated paper has been evaluated, working at 20 revise rotor speed and for different fiber consistency (6, 8, 10, 12 and 14%). The results showed that the values of experimental disintegration kinetic constant, Ko, through the analysis of Somerville index, as function of time. Increased, the disintegration time was drastically reduced. The calculation of the disintegration kinetic constant (modelled Ko), extracted from the Rayleigh’s dissipation function, showed a good correlation with the experimental values using the evolution of the Somerville index or with the dissipated energy

A study of the effects of PVAC on works of art on paper and wood: pH and colour change

This paper presents the preliminary findings of pH and colour measurements carried out on artworks on paperand on wood that had been treated with a poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAC) based adhesive in the 1980s. In both cases, areas treated with PVAC proved to be less acidic than untreated areas. Contrary to expectations, the conservation treatments have not, as yet, increased acidity levels in the objects under study. Colour measurements of the works on paper showed that those that had been backed with a cotton fabric using a mixture of methylcellulose and PVAC were less yellow than those from the same print run that had not been backed. This finding suggests that the backing somehow prevented the natural degradation of the support. In view of these preliminary results, further research is clearly needed. This study forms part of a broader ongoing project to assess the role of PVAC in the conservation of a range of cultural assets.

El paper de Lluís Solé Sabarís en la "Geografia de Catalunya" (1958-1974)

Parlar de Lluís Solé Sabarís com a geògraf és una tasca que ultrapassa de molt les meves possibilitats, ja que no es tracta simplement d'escorcollar els aspectes mes geografics d'un geòleg. Ans al contrari, sense voler prejutjar la seva tasca immensa en el camp de la Geologia, cal dir tot seguit que Solé Sabarís és ell mateix un geògraf. Efectivament, des de les seves classes de Geografia a 1'Institut-escola «Giner de los Ríos» de la Generalitat a les seves activitats mes recents com a president de la Societat Catalana de Geografia, passant pel seu mestratge a tants de geografs al Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas de Barcelona o als cursets de Pirineus, o per bona part de les seves obres i escrits, arreu hi podem trobar l'alenar de tot un geògraf de l'escola francesa. L'anàlisi de tota aquesta tasca ultrapassa de molt les meves possibilitats. Moltes coses són encara massa recents, i de testimonis més qualificats n'hi ha també molts d'altres.

Feromones: el paper de l'olor en la comunicació animal

Chemical perception is considered one of the first senses used as a communication system between living organisms. Such communication is based on the emission of signals between a sender and a receiver; if the communication is chemical, these signals are called pheromones. These signals have evolved via natural selection through a mechanism known as ritualization, which converts cues (which are not adapted to communication and which the receiver picks up regardless of the interests of the sender) into signals (information that the sender transmits as an adaptative response to its previously developed perception of the receiver). When communication has evolved between actors (sender and receiver) with common interests, the honesty of the signal is taken for granted, since both want the same thing (i.e., there is no reason to deceive). If the actors have conflicting interests, however, then the possibility of deception seeps into the possible array of adaptations. This can be observed in the case of communicative mimicry. However, in other situations natural selection imposes conditions that screen the possible signals, allowing only those that meet the requirement of honesty to stabilize. These include indices and added-cost signals. The emission of pheromones plays a variety of roles in the life processes of living beings. It facilitates encounters between individuals of the same species and is heavily involved in the mechanisms of recognition of relatives. It also fosters behaviours such as altruism (cooperation between individuals that share a percentage of their genetic inheritance). In many species, including humans, chemical communication works behind the scenes to guide the choice of a sexual partner.

Estudi per a la determinació de la composició òptima d'una barreja de pastes per a la fabricació de paper tripa industrial

El creixent ritme d’exportacions del Brasil, fa que la demanda de papers d’embalatges’incrementi constantment. El material més utilitzat per al transport són les caixes de cartróondulat (OCC). Aquestes caixes, quan se’ls acaba la vida útil, són recuperades per afabricar nou cartró ondulat. El paper de diari, que un cop llegit es converteix en un residu, nos’acostuma a utilitzar per a la fabricació de nous productes paperers, tot i estar fabricat ambfibres de qualitat elevada.Amb la utilització d’aquests materials com a alternativa es disminueix la demanda defibres verges com és el pi, que al Brasil, es troba en una situació crítica a causa de la malagestió de les plantacions.Cal dir que la part pràctica de l’estudi, que consisteix bàsicament en treball de laboratori,ha estat realitzada al Brasil, d’on provenen també les matèries primeres utilitzades. Peraquest motiu, el context de l’estudi està centrat en el mercat, en les necessitats i en larealitat d’aquest país.Aquest projecte té com a objectiu determinar la composició òptima d’una barreja depastes de pi, sisal, retalls i paper de diari, per a la fabricació de paper tripa industrial. Aquestpaper és el que es col•loca, ondulat, enmig de les capes externes del cartró multicapa

El present estudi pretén posar en valor part del paper de l’Home del Programa MaB (Men and Biosphere). En concret, pretén descobrir la importància i el paper que pot tenir (o que té realment) l’anomenat patrimoni cultural per a la consecució dels objectius de la Reserva de la Biosfera, i les pròpies potencialitats que ofereix aquest patrimoni per al consum del turisme cultural

Comunicació publicitària femenina: el paper de la dona en l’àmbit de la creativitat en el segle XXI

La dona és cada vegada més present en el món de la comunicació publicitària, però avui en dia, la seva presència encara segueix essent mínima en els departaments de creativitat. En una primera part es pretén reflectir la realitat laboral i social que empeny la participació de la dona en el món publicitari, al mateix temps que un sostre de vidre imperceptible frena la seva presència en llocs de rellevància. En una segona part, s’analitza quins canvis o tendències pot suposar aquesta escalada de la dona en llocs de direcció i creativitat.

Envelliment actiu: el paper del psicogerontòleg. Contribucions de l' educació emocional

Aquest treball es basa en les pràctiques realitzades dins del marc del Màster en Envelliment Actiu de la Universitat de Vic. L’objectiu d’aquestes pràctiques era doble: per una banda, aprofundir en el coneixement del rol del psicogerontòleg en un centre sociosanitari d’atenció a la gent gran i, per l’altra, elaborar, aplicar i avaluar una intervenció per fomentar l’envelliment actiu. És a dir, es pretenia donar cobertura a les dues grans àrees d’intervenció a les quals ha de fer front el psicogerontòleg en l’actualitat, com veurem més endavant, i que són: l’atenció a la dependència i la promoció de l’envelliment actiu, tenint en compte que aquesta darrera suposa la prevenció de la malaltia i la discapacitat i la maximització del benestar i la qualitat de vida en la vellesa.
