Discapacidad auditiva: un estudio de caso e intervención socioemocional

En este TFG se centrará la atención en las competencias socio-emocionales a través de un estudio de caso con un alumno con discapacidad auditiva moderada (60dB). Se pretende trabajar y mejorar las competencias socio-emocionales deficientes en este alumno. Para ello, se realizará un total de seis de actividades; cuatro de ellas de carácter individual y dos de carácter grupal. Con las actividades individuales se pretende que el alumno reconozca e identifique las emociones en situaciones concretas propias y ajenas. Mientras que, las actividades grupales, proporcionarán información sobre la relación con sus iguales y la concepción que tiene de este alumno en concreto. Por otro lado, tras realizar las actividades, se muestran los resultados obtenidos y la evaluación de éstas. De esta evaluación, pueden surgir otros temas a tratar posteriormente con el alumno como puede ser la baja autoestima que presenta.

Profitability analysis of a femtosecond laser system for cataract surgery using a fuzzy logic approach

AIM: To define the financial and management conditions required to introduce a femtosecond laser system for cataract surgery in a clinic using a fuzzy logic approach. METHODS: In the simulation performed in the current study, the costs associated to the acquisition and use of a commercially available femtosecond laser platform for cataract surgery (VICTUS, TECHNOLAS Perfect Vision GmbH, Bausch & Lomb, Munich, Germany) during a period of 5y were considered. A sensitivity analysis was performed considering such costs and the countable amortization of the system during this 5y period. Furthermore, a fuzzy logic analysis was used to obtain an estimation of the money income associated to each femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (G). RESULTS: According to the sensitivity analysis, the femtosecond laser system under evaluation can be profitable if 1400 cataract surgeries are performed per year and if each surgery can be invoiced more than $500. In contrast, the fuzzy logic analysis confirmed that the patient had to pay more per surgery, between $661.8 and $667.4 per surgery, without considering the cost of the intraocular lens (IOL). CONCLUSION: A profitability of femtosecond laser systems for cataract surgery can be obtained after a detailed financial analysis, especially in those centers with large volumes of patients. The cost of the surgery for patients should be adapted to the real flow of patients with the ability of paying a reasonable range of cost.

Analisi strutturale della testa di un supporto al bagno di saldatura elicoidale per tubi di acciaio

Nella presente tesi viene condotta l'analisi strutturale della testa di un supporto al bagno di saldatura elicoidale per tubi di acciaio. Dopo una breve introduzione sui tubi di acciaio e sul Metodo agli Elementi Finiti, si analizza la testa utilizzando un software open source. I risultati ottenuti consentono di ottimizzare la geometria della testa.

(Table 1) Grain size results, statistical parameters and magnetic susceptibility values of disturbed sediments from ODP holes 204-1249C and 204-1245B

Soupy and mousse-like fabrics are disturbance sedimentary features that result from the dissociation of gas hydrate, a process that releases water. During the core retrieval process, soupy and mousse-like fabrics are produced in the gas hydrate-bearing sediments due to changes in pressure and temperature conditions. Therefore, the identification of soupy and mousse-like fabrics can be used as a proxy for the presence of gas hydrate in addition to other evidence, such as pore water freshening or anomalously cool temperature. We present here grain-size results, mineralogical composition and magnetic susceptibility data of soupy and mousse-like samples from the southern Hydrate Ridge (Cascadia accretionary complex) acquired during Leg 204 of the Ocean Drilling Program. In order to study the relationship between sedimentary texture and the presence of gas hydrates, we have compared these results with the main textural and compositional data available from the same area. Most of the disturbed analyzed samples from the summit and the western flank of southern Hydrate Ridge show a mean grain size coarser than the average mean grain size of the hemipelagic samples from the same area. The depositional features of the sediments are not recognised due to disturbance. However, their granulometric statistical parameters and distribution curves, and magnetic susceptibility logs indicate that they correspond to a turbidite facies. These results suggest that gas hydrates in the southern Hydrate Ridge could form preferentially in coarser grain-size layers that could act as conduits feeding gas from below the BSR. Two samples from the uppermost metres near the seafloor at the summit of the southern Hydrate Ridge show a finer mean grain-size value than the average of hemipelagic samples. They were located where the highest amount of gas hydrates was detected, suggesting that in this area the availability of methane gas was high enough to generate gas hydrates, even within low-permeability layers. The mineralogical composition of the soupy and mousse-like sediments does not show any specific characteristic with respect to the other samples from the southern Hydrate Ridge.

Magnetic susceptibility parameters of ODP Leg 204 sites

In this paper, we present a rock magnetic data set produced for sediments from Hydrate Ridge recovered during Ocean Drilling Program Leg 204. Our data set is based on several artificially induced magnetic properties that can be used as a diagnostic for the presence of magnetic iron sulfides. The occurrence of magnetic iron sulfides within the gas hydrate stability zone in locations where gas hydrates are present seems to confirm previous interpretations linking formation of such minerals with generation of gas hydrate. Magnetic iron sulfides are also found at positions deeper than the gas hydrate stability zone. We suggest that these positions, which include intervals located just below the bottom-simulating reflector and also at deeper positions, may mark the former presence of gas hydrates that have been later dissociated as the gas hydrate stability zone moved upward through time. Detailed characterization of the magnetic iron sulfide mineralogy and comparison with sedimentological and geochemical data will be attempted for better determining the significance of magnetic iron sulfides in Hydrate Ridge sediments and their possible applications in the study of gas hydrates.
