[cat] En aquest document es descriuen i s'analitzen els conceptes fonamentals relacionats amb l'accés obert al coneixement científic. En primer lloc, es presenta una breu història dels drets d'autor i del copyright (tots esl drets reservats) fins avui. Avui la digitalització ha donat pas a un nou model de llicències copyleft (alguns drets reservats). S'ofereixen respostes a les preguntes més freqüents sobre l'aplicació dels drets d'autor en e l'àmbit acadèmic i la investigació. Es presenten dos models de llicències copyleft: Creative Commons i les llicències d'Universitat (Harvard). A través de diferents declaracions (Budapest, Bethesda i Berlín) es defineixen els principis i acords internacionals en matèria d'accés obert a la comunitat científica i acadèmica en la darrera dècada. Finalment, es defineix el concepte d'"Educació OOberta" i es descriu el paper dels Repositoris Institucionals en l'enmagatzament i difusió del coneixement científic i acadèmic.

Iron deficiency is generally investigated when faced with anemia, or with symptoms that could be related to iron deficiency without anemia. This simple disorder is easy to treat, provided that the diagnosis is correct. Several biological tests are available, but their interpretation is oftentimes problematic. Pre-analytical factors can interfere with measurements, normal values can change depending on suppliers, and, above all, results from different markers can be contradictory in some clinical situations. The aim of this article is to evaluate how the evolution of scientific knowledge and clinical trials can contribute to a better understanding and greater reliability in the diagnosis of iron deficiency.

Aquest treball és una recerca entorn la necessitat de repensar i repracticar l‟educació des de l‟idea de xarxa. Està estructurat en tres grans blocs: un primer, on es justifica des de l‟àmbit personal, educatiu i científic el per què de la tria de la nostra recerca i on es planteja la pregunta inicial des de la qual es desenvoluparà tot el treball: En quina situació es troba el treball educatiu en xarxa en les escoles Pereanton, Camí del mig, Guillem de Mont-rodon i Artur Martorell?. Un segon, centrat en la fonamentació conceptual del que els referents teòrics han dit sobre el tema. I un tercer, de caire més pràctic, on per una banda s‟exposa el paradigma, la orientació metodològica i les eines de recollida de dades utilitzades en l‟estudi de camp . I per altra, s‟analitzen les informacions obtingudes amb l‟objectiu de determinar quin és el grau d‟aplicació de treball en xarxa a cada un dels centres estudiats. Finalment la recerca es tanca amb les conclusions pràctiques fruit del contrast entre el marc teòric i el resultat pràctic obtingut de l‟anàlisi de la visita als centres.

Actualment moltes fonts d'informació ens descriuen i argumenten com han de ser les activitats científiques a l'escola per garantir l'aprenentatge significatiu de l'alumnat, i d'altres estudis ens mostren com han de ser les activitats escolars en l'entorn; però no hi ha estudis que ens descriguin i argumentin com han de ser les activitats científiques escolars basades en l'experimentació i l'estudi de l'entorn proper. Així doncs, aquesta investigació s'endinsa per solucionar un problema actual que és: com ha de ser una bona activitat científica escolar basada en l'experimentació i l'estudi de l'entorn proper? En resposta a això, aquest treball es basa en una investigació avaluativa que analitza diversos projectes de ciències basats en l'entorn a partir de l'observació d'uns criteris específics elaborats, per una banda a partir de les idees d'experts sobre com ha de ser una bona activitat científica i com ha de ser una activitat escolar d'entorn efectiva; i per altra banda a partir de les idees extretes de les entrevistes fetes a mestres promotores de projectes científics escolars innovadors centrats i duts a terme en l'entorn proper.

Este artículo es la síntesis del trabajo realizado en Costa Rica en la finca “Madre Selva” donde se encuentra una estación de monitoreo de aves. Los objetivos finales del proyecto son el análisis socioambiental, la zonificación de toda el área de la finca y el desarrollo de las vías y programas de manejo para que todas las actividades realizadas sean respetuosas con el medio ambiente. Madre Selva ocupa una superficie de 160ha y está situada en la “Reserva Forestal Los Santos” a una altura de 2600m. En esta superficie se han registrado un total de 200 especies diferentes de avifauna. Las dos actividades que se llevan a cabo son la monitorización como actividad científica y la ganadería como actividad económica. La razón por la cual se ha efectuado este estudio es la conservación del ecosistema para que las aves habiten en sus condiciones naturales y la actividad científica se realice de manera efectiva. La zonificación de Madre Selva refleja los diferentes usos del suelo y funciones del territorio. Concretamente, la finca ha quedado dividida en 7 zonas descritas con sus valores y sus correspondientes vías de manejo. Finalmente, se describen los programas de manejo que se llevan a cabo actualmente y se proponen nuevos programas así como propuestas de mejora. Se destaca la oportunidad de desarrollar nuevas actividades como la educación ambiental y el ecoturismo.

Structural and optical characterization of copper phthalocyanine thin film thermally deposited at different substrate temperatures was the aim of this work. The morphology of the films shows strong dependence on temperature, as can be observed by atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffraction spectroscopy, specifically in the grain size and features of the grains. The increase in the crystal phase with substrate temperature is shown by x-ray diffractometry. Optical absorption coefficient measured by photothermal deflection spectroscopy and optical transmittance reveal a weak dependence on the substrate temperature. Besides, the electro-optical response measured by the external quantum efficiency of Schottky ITO/CuPc/Al diodes shows an optimized response for samples deposited at a substrate temperature of 60 °C, in correspondence to the I-V diode characteristics.

BACKGROUND: Until recently, neurosurgeons eagerly removed cerebellar lesions without consideration of future cognitive impairment that might be caused by the resection. In children, transient cerebellar mutism after resection has lead to a diminished use of midline approaches and vermis transection, as well as reduced retraction of the cerebellar hemispheres. The role of the cerebellum in higher cognitive functions beyond coordination and motor control has recently attracted significant interest in the scientific community, and might change the neurosurgical approach to these lesions. The aim of this study was to investigate the specific effects of cerebellar lesions on memory, and to assess a possible lateralisation effect. METHODS: We studied 16 patients diagnosed with a cerebellar lesion, from January 1997 to April 2005, in the "Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois (CHUV)", Lausanne, Switzerland. Different neuropsychological tests assessing short term and anterograde memory, verbal and visuo-spatial modalities were performed pre-operatively. RESULTS: Severe memory deficits in at least one modality were identified in a majority (81%) of patients with cerebellar lesions. Only 1 patient (6%) had no memory deficit. In our series lateralisation of the lesion did not lead to a significant difference in verbal or visuo-spatial memory deficits. FINDINGS: These findings are consistent with findings in the literature concerning memory deficits in isolated cerebellar lesions. These can be explained by anatomical pathways. However, the cross-lateralisation theory cannot be demonstrated in our series. The high percentage of patients with a cerebellar lesion who demonstrate memory deficits should lead us to assess memory in all patients with cerebellar lesions.

A clinical route is defined as a "set of methods and instruments to members of a multidisciplinary and Interprofessional team to agree on the tasks for a specific patient population. This is a program of care to ensure the provision of quality care and efficient realization". The University Hospital is not immune to this phenomenon. In the Department of the musculoskeletal system, a first project of this kind concerns the fracture of the proximal femur in the elderly.

BACKGROUND: Anecdotal reports suggests that most clinicians treat medications as belonging to a class with regard to all therapeutic indications; this means that the whole 'class' of drugs is considered to possesses a specific therapeutic action. The present article explores the possible existence of a true 'class effect' for agents available for the treatment of bipolar disorder. METHODS: We reviewed the available treatment data from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and explored 16 'agent class'/'treatment issue' cases for bipolar disorder. Four classes of agents were examined: first-generation antipsychotics (FGAs), second-generation antipsychotics (SGAs), antiepileptics and antidepressants, with respect to their efficacy on four treatment issues of bipolar disorder (BD) (acute mania, acute bipolar depression, maintenance against mania, maintenance against depression). RESULTS: From the 16 'agent class'/' treatment issue' cases, only 3 possible class effects were detected, and they all concerned acute mania and antipsychotics. Four effect cases have not been adequately studied (FGAs against acute bipolar depression and in maintenance protection from depression, and antidepressants against acute mania and protection from mania) and they all concern treatment cases with a high risk of switching to the opposite pole, thus research in these areas is poor. There is no 'class effect' at all concerning antiepileptics. CONCLUSIONS: The available data suggest that a 'class effect' is the exception rather than the rule in the treatment of BD. However, the possible presence of a 'class effect' concept discourages clinicians from continued scientific training and reading. Focused educational intervention might be necessary to change this attitude.

Antibiotics have a well-documented efficacy in the treatment of established infections and as prophylactic agents in medically compromised patients. However, the systematic administration of antibiotics to prevent local infections in fit patients is much more controversial. The aim of this paper is to reflect on the justification for prophylactic usage of antibiotics to prevent wound infection and to reason out the most appropriate antibiotic guidelines taking into account available scientific data and studies by other authors. Numerous clinical trials question the efficacy of antibiotics in preventing wound infection. While some studies establish that antibiotics reduce the incidence of postoperative infections, others compare their efficacy to that of placebo. Thus, scientific literature suggests that every oral surgical intervention is not tributary of systematic antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent local infections. Intrinsic surgical risk factors and the patient"s individual circumstances must be taken into account. Even though the efficacy of other antibiotics cannot be ruled out due to our limited comprehension of the bacteriologic interrelations intervening in the pathogenesis of postextraction local infection, the amoxicillin-clavulanic acid combination theoretically covers the complete odontogenic bacterial spectrum in Spain. When the prophylactic use of antibiotics is indicated, this should be performed preoperatively, at high doses, and its extent should not exceed 24 hours. Special attention should be paid to antiinfectious local measures that can minimize infection risk during the wound"s healing period
