Satisfaction level of adults with University Programmes

This research analyses the degree of satisfaction of a sample of 874 students from University Programmes for adults and elderly, from Spain. The investigation is framed along the lines of positive psychology, specifically in Martin Seligman’s proposal, founder of this movement, who advocates that the main objective of this branch of psychological science is to investigate the healthy aspects of human life. The methodology applied is mixed. The level of satisfaction, collected through the survey technique was analysed by the SPSS 20.0 (using method CHAID) statistical program for the quantitative data; and by the Programme Atlas.Ti 6.0 (textual and conceptual analyses) for the qualitative data. The analysed data reveal that students are highly satisfied with the programme, the teachers and their peers. The discussion confirms these results, since it has also stood out in others studies

Building a 'Repository of Science': the importance of integrating Biobanks within molecular pathology programmes

Repositories containing high quality human biospecimens linked with robust and relevant clinical and pathological information are required for the discovery and validation of biomarkers for disease diagnosis, progression and response to treatment. Current molecular based discovery projects using either low or high throughput technologies rely heavily on ready access to such sample collections. It is imperative that modern biobanks align with molecular diagnostic pathology practices not only to provide the type of samples needed for discovery projects but also to ensure requirements for ongoing sample collections and the future needs of researchers are adequately addressed. Biobanks within comprehensive molecular pathology programmes are perfectly positioned to offer more than just tumour derived biospecimens; for example, they have the ability to facilitate researchers gaining access to sample metadata such as digitised scans of tissue samples annotated prior to macrodissection for molecular diagnostics or pseudoanonymised clinical outcome data or research results retrieved from other users utilising the same or overlapping cohorts of samples. Furthermore, biobanks can work with molecular diagnostic laboratories to develop standardized methodologies for the acquisition and storage of samples required for new approaches to research such as ‘liquid biopsies’ which will ultimately feed into the test validations required in large prospective clinical studies in order to implement liquid biopsy approaches for routine clinical practice. We draw on our experience in Northern Ireland to discuss how this harmonised approach of biobanks working synergistically with molecular pathology programmes is key for the future success of precision medicine.

La acción tutorial en los estudiantes universitarios con discapacidad

Este aporte pone énfasis en la importancia de la acción tutorial dirigida al colectivo de estudiantes con discapacidad en el contexto universitario. Presenta los resultados más significativos del estudio que sobre actuaciones tutoriales realizan los Servicios, Unidades u Oficinas de atención a los estudiantes universitarios con discapacidad de más 45 universidades españolas, en relación con la promoción, la acogida, la permanencia y el egreso. Los aportes remarcan la importancia de organizar la respuesta a través de un Plan de Acción Tutorial orquestado desde las etapas de motivación y sensibilización, planificación, ejecución, evaluación e institucionalización. Entre las principales conclusiones, sobresale la importancia de avanzar hacia una universidad realmente inclusiva desde la acción tutorial, proporcionando, al respecto, una Guía para la atención a los alumnos universitarios con discapacidad.
