Web per a psicologia i teràpia online Espai Nirvana

Aquest Treball de Final de Carrera engloba l'anàlisi, el disseny i la implementació d'una aplicació web per a psicologia i teràpia online. L'enginyeria d'aquest programari està basada en la tècnica d'orientació a objectes, dins l'estàndard UML. Els aspectes generals de l'anàlisi i disseny s'han desenvolupat amb un cicle de vida en cascada, per tenir una bona base de partida i poder confeccionar una planificació en el temps. La fase de implementació, està basada en un cicle de vida iteratiu e incremental, implementant a cada iteració una petita part amb autonomia que correspon a un cas d'ús. Com a llenguatge de desenvolupament he escollit Java , i com a arquitectura de l'aplicació J2EE, degut a la seva robustesa i a que en l'actualitat, té un fort posicionament en aplicacions web i en xarxa, arribant a ser un estàndard en l'entorn distribuït d'aplicacions empresarials a Internet. En l'estratègia en el disseny i per donar solucions efectives a problemes tipificats, he fet servir el patró MVC, que a més, ha incrementat considerablement la reusabilitat i efectivitat del codi i estructura de la programació. Per a la implementació he incorporat el framework Struts2, que basa la seva arquitectura en el patró MVC, i que ha facilitat molt el treball ja que ha donat solucions a problemes generals estàndard i altres de baix nivell, i ha permès focalitzar els esforços en donar solució a qüestions més particulars i específiques del projecte. En l'accés transparent a les dades he optat per Hibernate3, una poderosa eina que enllaça el món relacional de les BBDD amb el mon de l'orientació a objectes de les classes de les aplicacions. I com a SGBD per a la persistència de dades, he fet servir Oracle 10g XE, també tot un referent en la indústria, i un dels més complets.

'Bio-nano interactions: new tools, insights and impacts': summary of the Royal Society discussion meeting

Bio-nano interactions can be defined as the study of interactions between nanoscale entities and biological systems such as, but not limited to, peptides, proteins, lipids, DNA and other biomolecules, cells and cellular receptors and organisms including humans. Studying bio-nano interactions is particularly useful for understanding engineered materials that have at least one dimension in the nanoscale. Such materials may consist of discrete particles or nanostructured surfaces. Much of biology functions at the nanoscale; therefore, our ability to manipulate materials such that they are taken up at the nanoscale, and engage biological machinery in a designed and purposeful manner, opens new vistas for more efficient diagnostics, therapeutics (treatments) and tissue regeneration, so-called nanomedicine. Additionally, this ability of nanomaterials to interact with and be taken up by cells allows nanomaterials to be used as probes and tools to advance our understanding of cellular functioning. Yet, as a new technology, assessment of the safety of nanomaterials, and the applicability of existing regulatory frameworks for nanomaterials must be investigated in parallel with development of novel applications. The Royal Society meeting 'Bio-nano interactions: new tools, insights and impacts' provided an important platform for open dialogue on the current state of knowledge on these issues, bringing together scientists, industry, regulatory and legal experts to concretize existing discourse in science law and policy. This paper summarizes these discussions and the insights that emerged.

Modificación de la tienda online de Grandes Zapatos

El objetivo del proyecto en que se basa esta memoria es realizar una serie de modificaciones en la tienda online de Grandes Zapatos. Esta tienda se encuentra actualmente en producción y está basada en la plataforma de venta online Prestashop. Nuestras modificaciones se realizarán siguiendo los esquemas de programación indicados por Prestashop, para realizar unos módulos compatibles con el resto del programa Prestashop tanto en diseño como en usabilidad y que no interfieran con las futuras actualizaciones del mismo.

The ghost of social environments past: dominance relationships include current interactions and experience carried over from previous groups.

Dominance hierarchies pervade animal societies. Within a static social environment, in which group size and composition are unchanged, an individual's hierarchy rank results from intrinsic (e.g. body size) and extrinsic (e.g. previous experiences) factors. Little is known, however, about how dominance relationships are formed and maintained when group size and composition are dynamic. Using a fusion-fission protocol, we fused groups of previously isolated shore crabs (Carcinus maenas) into larger groups, and then restored groups to their original size and composition. Pre-fusion hierarchies formed independently of individuals' sizes, and were maintained within a static group via winner/loser effects. Post-fusion hierarchies differed from pre-fusion ones; losing fights during fusion led to a decline in an individual's rank between pre- and post-fusion conditions, while spending time being aggressive during fusion led to an improvement in rank. In post-fusion tanks, larger individuals achieved better ranks than smaller individuals. In conclusion, dominance hierarchies in crabs represent a complex combination of intrinsic and extrinsic factors, in which experiences from previous groups can carry over to affect current competitive interactions.

Oral epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer: comparative pharmacokinetics and drug-drug interactions.

The development of orally active small molecule inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has led to new treatment options for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with activating mutations of the EGFR gene show sensitivity to, and clinical benefit from, treatment with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKls). First generation reversible ATP-competitive EGFR-TKls, gefitinib and erlotinib, are effective as first, second-line or maintenance therapy. Despite initial benefit, most patients develop resistance within a year, 50-60% of cases being related to the appearance of a T790M gatekeeper mutation. Newer, irreversible EGFR-TKls - afatinib and dacomitinib - covalently bind to and inhibit multiple receptors in the ErbB family (EGFR, HER2 and HER4). These agents have been mainly evaluated for first-line treatment but also in the setting of acquired resistance to first-generation EGFR-TKls. Afatinib is the first ErbB family blocker approved for patients with NSCLC with activating EGFR mutations; dacomitinib is in late stage clinical development. Mutant-selective EGFR inhibitors (AZD9291, CO-1686, HM61713) that specifically target the T790M resistance mutation are in early development. The EGFR-TKIs differ in their spectrum of target kinases, reversibility of binding to EGFR receptor, pharmacokinetics and potential for drug-drug interactions, as discussed in this review. For the clinician, these differences are relevant in the setting of polymedicated patients with NSCLC, as well as from the perspective of innovative anticancer drug combination strategies.

A Method and Tool to Support the Analysis and Enhance the Understanding of Peer-to-Peer Learning Experiences

In this paper we look at how a web-based social software can be used to make qualitative data analysis of online peer-to-peer learning experiences. Specifically, we propose to use Cohere, a web-based social sense-making tool, to observe, track, annotate and visualize discussion group activities in online courses. We define a specific methodology for data observation and structuring, and present results of the analysis of peer interactions conducted in discussion forum in a real case study of a P2PU course. Finally we discuss how network visualization and analysis can be used to gather a better understanding of the peer-to-peer learning experience. To do so, we provide preliminary insights on the social, dialogical and conceptual connections that have been generated within one online discussion group.
