Fases en la derivación e interpretación semántico pragmática

En trabajos anteriores (Romero, 2008a y b, Alabart Lago, L., P. Díaz y G. Herrera, 2012, Alabart Lago, L. y Herrera, G., 2013) se intentó mostrar que el mecanismo interpretativo que propone la TR podría resultar adecuado como uno de los sistemas externos (también interpretativos) postulados por la GG, más precisamente, el sistema llamado CI. La relación que intentamos establecer tendrá en cuenta lo siguiente como marco teórico: a) En TR se afirma que la interpretación de un enunciado se deriva de las estructuras sintácticas, y esta derivación se realiza "en paralelo" con la derivación de estructuras llevada a cabo por las operaciones del componente sintáctico. b) En las últimas propuestas de la GG, extensiones y revisiones del PM propuesto en Chomsky (1995) no solo se dejan de lado los niveles de representación internos SP y ES sino también se considera prescindible la interfaz FL (Chomsky, 2005). Las estructuras generadas se transfieren a los sistemas externos en cuanto rasgos formales de las Categorías Funcionales son valorados. Mantendremos la noción de que el sistema computacional es relativamente irrestricto y que sus operaciones son condicionadas solo por Atracción y las llamadas "condiciones de legibilidad" impuestas por los sistemas externos, fundamentalmente el Principio de Interpretación Completa (PIC). c) Tendremos en cuenta la propuesta de Leonetti y Escandell Vidal (2004), que sostiene que las CCFF de la GG pueden considerarse equivalentes a las Categoría Procedimentales propuestas por la TR. En este sentido consideraremos válida la afirmación de Chomsky (1998) acerca de que las CCFF centrales (C, T, v y D) tienen propiedades semánticas. d) Otro factor que tendremos en cuenta es la noción de fase en la derivación, considerándola correcta en los términos expuestos en Chomsky (2001 y 2005) y Gallego (2007 y 2009), con ciertas modificaciones. Nuestra hipótesis puede resumirse en lo siguiente: Las operaciones de extracción de inferencias propuestas por TR se aplican durante la derivación sintáctica independientemente de que se haya transferido o no una fase. Es más, esperamos poder demostrar que algunos mecanismos inferenciales imponen ciertas condiciones que afectan a la valoración de los rasgos de las CCFF. Pretendemos también intentar mostrar que además de los núcleos de fase reconocidos, C y v, debe considerarse fase a SD, porque contiene rasgos específicos de cuyo cotejo y valoración se desprende el valor que recibirán otros rasgos en el curso de la derivación. Con estos fundamentos esperamos poder elaborar una descripción de cómo interactúan ambos sistemas en la derivación de una oración y la asignación (casi simultánea) de significado

The application of cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance (CO-OP) with children 5-7 years with developmental coordination disorder

There has been an increase in the use of cognitive frameworks in occupational therapy with children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). Investigations into the utility of one such cognitive approach, namely Cognitive Orientation to (daily) Occupational Performance (CO-OP), with children with DCD have shown the intervention to be effective with children over 7 years. However, there has been limited research into its utility with younger children. This paper presents two case studies to demonstrate the use of CO-OP with children aged 5-7 years. Two boys with DCD engaged in 10 sessions of CO-OP. These younger children were found to be able to use the global framework (Goal, Plan, Do, Check) to improve their task performance, to develop plans using domain-specific strategies and to engage in checking strategies. Issues relating to attention, motivation and goal setting are discussed in the context of the two case studies.

Scaling of multiple postselected quantum gates in optics

We show that interesting multigate circuits can be constructed using a postselected controlled-sign gate that works with a probability (1/3)(n), where n-1 is the number of controlled-sign gates in the circuit, rather than (1/9)(n-1), as would be expected from a sequence of such gates. We suggest some quantum information tasks which could be demonstrated using these circuits, such as parity checking and cluster-state computation.

Getting the run around: accessing services for children with developmental co-ordination disorder

Background Accessing services for children with developmental co-ordination disorder (DCD) is frequently difficult for parents who have to navigate both health and education systems to find a diagnosis and appropriate interventions. Method A qualitative study design incorporating a phenomenological perspective was utilized to understand the nature of the experiences of these parents in attempting to access support for their children with DCD. Twelve parents, whose children attended the Kids Skills Clinic at the University of Western Ontario and were identified as having DCD, were interviewed by the second author. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using constant comparative method. Member checking, peer checking and code-recoding were carried out to enhance rigour in data analysis. Results A number of themes emerged focusing on the common problems experienced leading to occupational therapy referral. Parents' journeys to seek and access services for their children with DCD were characterized by a sense of maternal knowing, experience of frustration, trivialization of the problem, a sense of 'going it alone', and 'getting the run around'. Conclusions Implications for health and educational professionals working with children, in terms of recognition of DCD and referral for services, are described.

Factors predictive of intravenous fluid administration errors in Australian surgical care wards

Background: Intravenous (IV) fluid administration is an integral component of clinical care. Errors in administration can cause detrimental patient outcomes and increase healthcare costs, although little is known about medication administration errors associated with continuous IV infusions. Objectives: ( 1) To ascertain the prevalence of medication administration errors for continuous IV infusions and identify the variables that caused them. ( 2) To quantify the probability of errors by fitting a logistic regression model to the data. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on three surgical wards at a teaching hospital in Australia. All study participants received continuous infusions of IV fluids. Parenteral nutrition and non-electrolyte containing intermittent drug infusions ( such as antibiotics) were excluded. Medication administration errors and contributing variables were documented using a direct observational approach. Results: Six hundred and eighty seven observations were made, with 124 (18.0%) having at least one medication administration error. The most common error observed was wrong administration rate. The median deviation from the prescribed rate was 247 ml/h (interquartile range 275 to + 33.8 ml/ h). Errors were more likely to occur if an IV infusion control device was not used and as the duration of the infusion increased. Conclusions: Administration errors involving continuous IV infusions occur frequently. They could be reduced by more common use of IV infusion control devices and regular checking of administration rates.
