Historia de la matemática: implicacioones didácticas

Saber cómo ha evolucionado y cómo evoluaciona la ciencia matemática ayuda a entender mejor las conexiones entre diferentes conceptos y procedimientos que la vertebran y permiten apreciar la naturaleza viva y humana. Como consecuencia, estos conocmientos contribuyen sin duda a enseñar mejor esta ciencia.

Didáctica e historia de las matemáticas

Nuestro trabajo en la E.U. de Formación de Maestros de Ciudad Real, nos ha ofrecido la posibilidad de orientarnos hacia un campo muy específico de las matemáticas como es el de su didáctica. En los estudios universitarios de la Licenciatura de Matemáticas hemos recibido una formación vacía en Didáctica. Ha sido pues el trabajo con nuestros alumnos en el aula, la búsqueda de libros, cursos y compañeros interesados en este tema, los que han posibilitado esta experiencia.

Utilización de la Historia de las Matemáticas en clase con alumnos de 6 a 13 años

En mi conferencia consideraré varias maneras de utilizar la historia de las matemáticas en la didáctica de las matemáticas para la escuela obligatoria; se trata de experiencias y reflexiones relacionadas con la elaboración y la experimentación de currículos para la enseñanza de las Matemáticas en las edades comprendidas entre los 6 y los 13 años, desarrollados a partir de 1975 en el grupo de universitarios y enseñantes que coordino personalmente en Génova. El trabajo se ha efectuado en colaboración con Elda Guala; algunos artículos relacionados con estas cuestiones ya han sido publicados o están en curso de publicación.

De la resolución de ecuaciones polinómicas al álgebra abstracta: un paseo a través de la historia

Realizaremos un paseo histórico a lo que ha sido la resolución de ecuaciones polinómicas y en general el desarrollo del álgebra. La intención es presentar una síntesis de algunas de las dificultades que se enfrentaron a lo largo de la historia, en la construcción de los significados y conceptos matemáticos, referidos principalmente a la resolución de ecuaciones polinómicas y al desarrollo del álgebra abstracta.

Analysis of the footprint in school age of 8-10 years old

Biomechanical problems in children, is an important subject currently, existing controversy in different areas, for example, the majority of children have a flattened footprint, or the hypermobility joint is linked to a musculoskeletal pain. The objective of the study was to determine what kind of footprint is most frequent in school-age children (8-10 years) in the area of Plasencia. This was taken as a sign 50 children, of whom 28 were males and 22 females. All the subjects in the study underwent an assessment of footprint planted in static as well as an exploration of different parameters through inspection in a standing position (formula digital, rearfoot). The results show that excavated footprint is present in a 72% cases of the population, 16% was belonging to an excavated footprint in which we find a higher percentage of weight related.For the digital formula we find that the most common is the Egyptian foot by 40% of the cases and that the prevalence in the rearfoot, is a normal hindfoot. In relation with the hypermobility joint, we check that it is more common in girls and that none of them presents an association to musculoskeletal pain. As a future line we could establish a more comprehensive study with new techniques and valuingchild’s statics and dynamics, to have a more accurate study of the different variables in the sample population studied.

The media on violence against women: the paradigm of thinness

This article attempts to show that the aesthetic pressure through the media, especially exerted on women, can be defined as gender violence; and the consequences of thinness paradigm of our society and obesity stigma that this entails have for their bio-psycho-social health.

Scientifi c discourses on chronic pain without organic cause Incorporating gender perspective for pain resignifyng-repoliticizing

Chronic pain, without any organic or physical cause (DC), which in psycho-medical terminology is known as fi bromyalgia, (FM), is diagnosed each year to a considerable number of women in capitalistic societies. Our main interest in the following paper is to go in depth in the elaboration of this symptom, its treatment and the psychosocial effects, both in the social order as well as in the lives of the people who suffer from it. Our main goal in the following paper is to look deeper in the elaboration (conceptualization) of this symptom, its treatment and psychological affects, both in the social order as well as in the lives of the people who suffer from it, we are using linked speeches in Spanish magazines publications. The result has been the emergence of three hegemonic discourse positions: One position “scientist”, one “therapeutic of the conformity” position and one “economic and legalistic” position. Each of these has a specifi c feature, but on the whole, is enhanced, producing effects such as the absence of social context to explain the disease; disregard of gender differences in the management and treatment; the instrumentalization of pain to legitimize their practices and the subjection of women to the “psycho-biomedical” paradigm. In that way, a new signifi cance and politicization of the concept of pain is proposed.

"Bobok" y "Pedro Páramo", dos narraciones sobre muertos

El presente estudio realiza un análisis comparativo entre la novela del mexicano Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo (1955), y un cuento del escritor ruso Dostoievski que trata también el tema del Más allá, titulado Bobok (1873). Paralelamente, se trabaja con la posibilidad de que el relato ruso hubiese podido ser una más de las fuentes literarias de la novela mexicana, y se trata de determinar las posibles conexiones -directas o indirectas- entre las dos obras. Ambas son puestas en común por su género literario, y a partir de ahí se estudian los elementos constitutivos que tienen en común, sus afinidades y divergencias más llamativas.

Clínica de animais de companhia: uveítes caninas: estudo retrospetivo de 50 casos

O presente relatório pretende descrever as atividades desenvolvidas durante o estágio no Hospital Veterinário do Restelo e apresentar a casuística relativa a este período. É apresentado também um estudo de casos sobre uveítes caninas e monografia sobre o tema. A uveíte é uma das afeções oculares mais frequentes nos cães, muitas vezes associada a outras afeções sistémicas. Foi realizado um estudo retrospetivo com 50 cães que se apresentaram neste Hospital nos anos de 2011 e 2012 com diagnóstico primário de uveíte, com o objetivo de caracterizar a distribuição das uveítes na população canina e avaliar as suas causas, em especial a relação com doenças sistémicas. O número de causas oculares identificadas foi igual ao número de causas sistémicas, o que reforça o importante papel de determinadas afeções sistémicas na etiologia da uveíte; ### Abstract Clinic in Small Animals Canine Uveitis: Retrospective Study of 50 cases The present report aims to describe the activities developed during the traineeship in Veterinary Hospital of Restelo and presents the casuistry relating to this period. It also presents a case study about canine uveitis and a monograph about it. Uveitis is one of the most common ocular diseases in dogs, often associated with others systemic diseases. We conducted a retrospective study in 50 dogs presented at the Hospital in 2011 and 2012 with a primary diagnosis of uveitis, with the purpose of characterizing the distribution of uveitis in the dog population and evaluate their causes, in particularly the relationship with systemic diseases. The number of identified ocular causes was equal to the number of systemic causes, which reinforces the important role of certain systemic conditions in the etiology of uveitis.

Estágio em clínica de animais de companhia: síndrome de disfunção cognitiva canina

Este estágio foi realizado em clínica de animais de companhia. Observou e acompanhou-se tanto consultas com carácter preventivo como de clínica médica e cirúrgica. As consultas de medicina preventiva consistiram essencialmente em vacinações e desparasitações, enquanto outras foram meramente informativas. As consultas de clínica médica incidiram em diversas áreas, incluíndo dermatologia, gastroenterologia e cardiologia. As cirurgias efetuadas foram sobretudo eletivas, mas também se assistiu a cirurgias corretivas. Um dos casos observados foi um cão com disfunção cognitiva. Este foi o caso escolhido para ser alvo do estudo mais aprofundado que é apresentado na segunda secção deste relatório. A disfunção cognitiva canina é o equivalente à doença humana de Alzheimer. Esta condição é relativamente desconhecida e os seus sinais clínicos são frequentemente considerados normais da idade. No entanto, quando detetada e tratada atempadamente é possível abrandar a sua evolução, devendo os proprietários de cães afetados ser sensibilizados a procurar assistência profissional; Internship in small animal practice: canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome Abstract: This internship was conducted in small animal clinic. The attended appointments consisted mostly of cases of preventive and internal medicine and also surgical assistance. The appointments of preventive medicine included vaccinations, deworming and some merely informative sessions. The cases of internal medicine concerned areas such as dermatology, gastroenterology and cardiology. The surgical interventions were mainly optional but also corrective procedures. One of the observed cases was a dog with cognitive dysfunction. This case was elected to be the target of further study which is presented in the second section of this report. The canine cognitive dysfunction is the equivalent to the human Alzheimer’s disease. This condition is still largely unknown and its clinical presentation is often considered normal of aging. However, if detected and treated early it is possible to slow down its progress, thus the owners of affected dogs should be encouraged to seek professional assistance.
