Proyecto final carrera ETIG Hotel SPA

El proyecto consiste en desarrollar un software para la gestión de los servicios que ofrece un Hotel Spa.Por un lado, un software con el que los clientes podrán interactuar para la petición de servicios al hotel. Estas peticiones de servicios son: -Peticiones servicios de habitaciones (incidencias, peticiones de material, servicio despertador, servicio limpieza, etc.) -Reservar un recurso (salas de reunión, pistas de deportes, etc.) -Planificar actividades realizadas en el recinto del hotel (gimnasio, masajista, conferencias, audiciones, espectáculos musicales, etc.)Y por otro lado el software necesario para gestionar estas peticiones que estará a la disposición de los encargados del hotel.El nombre de la aplicación es: eHotelSPANet.Para el desarrollo del software se utilizarán las herramientas de Microsoft usando la tecnología .NET, concretamente: -WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). -WCF (Windows Communications Foundation) SQL Server 2008

Disseny i implementació d'un marc de treball (framework) de presentació per aplicacions J2EE

En aquest projecte he dissenyat i implementat un marc de treball (framework) de presentació per aplicacions J2EE. Avui en dia, per desenvolupar aplicacions web, estem obligats a que segueixin una sèrie de qualitats per tal de fer-les útils. Aquestes són eficiència, extensibilitat, reutilització i portabilitat. De no ser així, el nostre programari no tindrà lloc al mercat. Per tal d' aconseguir aquestes qualitats, cal seguir les regles establertes i utilitzar frameworks.

A randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of a Computer-Assisted Cognitive Remediation (CACR) program in adolescents with psychosis or at high risk of psychosis: Short term and long term outcomes

The present study investigates the short- and long-term outcomes of a computer-assisted cognitive remediation (CACR) program in adolescents with psychosis or at high risk. 32 adolescents participated in a blinded 8-week randomized controlled trial of CACR treatment compared to computer games (CG). Clinical and neuropsychological evaluations were undertaken at baseline, at the end of the program and at 6-month. At the end of the program (n = 28), results indicated that visuospatial abilities (Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status, RBANS; P = .005) improved signifi cantly more in the CACR group compared to the CG group. Furthermore, other cognitive functions (RBANS), psychotic symptoms (Positive and Negative Symptom Scale) and psychosocial functioning (Social and Occupational Functioning Assessment Scale) improved signifi cantly, but at similar rates, in the two groups. At long term (n = 22), cognitive abilities did not demonstrated any amelioration in the control group while, in the CACR group, signifi cant long-term improvements in inhibition (Stroop; P = .040) and reasoning (Block Design Test; P = .005) were observed. In addition, symptom severity (Clinical Global Improvement) decreased signifi cantly in the control group (P = .046) and marginally in the CACR group (P = .088). To sum up, CACR can be successfully administered in this population. CACR proved to be effective over and above CG for the most intensively trained cognitive ability. Finally, on the long-term, enhanced reasoning and inhibition abilities, which are necessary to execute higher-order goals or to adapt behavior to the ever-changing environment, were observed in adolescents benefi ting from a CACR.

Counsellor behaviours and patient language during brief motivational interventions: a sequential analysis of speech

AIMS: To investigate empirically the hypothesized relationship between counsellor motivational interviewing (MI) skills and patient change talk (CT) by analysing the articulation between counsellor behaviours and patient language during brief motivational interventions (BMI) addressing at-risk alcohol consumption. DESIGN: Sequential analysis of psycholinguistic codes obtained by two independent raters using the Motivational Interviewing Skill Code (MISC), version 2.0. SETTING: Secondary analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of BMI in an emergency department. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 97 patients tape-recorded when receiving BMI. MEASUREMENTS: MISC variables were categorized into three counsellor behaviours (MI-consistent, MI-inconsistent and 'other') and three kinds of patient language (CT, counter-CT (CCT) and utterances not linked with the alcohol topic). Observed transition frequencies, conditional probabilities and significance levels based on odds ratios were computed using sequential analysis software. FINDINGS: MI-consistent behaviours were the only counsellor behaviours that were significantly more likely to be followed by patient CT. Those behaviours were significantly more likely to be followed by patient change exploration (CT and CCT) while MI-inconsistent behaviours and 'other' counsellor behaviours were significantly more likely to be followed by utterances not linked with the alcohol topic and significantly less likely to be followed by CT. MI-consistent behaviours were more likely after change exploration, whereas 'other' counsellor behaviours were more likely only after utterances not linked with the alcohol topic. CONCLUSIONS: Findings lend support to the hypothesized relationship between MI-consistent behaviours and CT, highlight the importance of patient influence on counsellor behaviour and emphasize the usefulness of MI techniques and spirit during brief interventions targeting change enhancement.
