The attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is a neurobiological disorder and belongs to those called neurodevelopmental disorders, since it is commonly diagnosed in childhood, and persists into adulthood. The ADHD is divided by its central symptomatology in hyperactivity, and inattention, variable according to the case. It is one of the most diagnosed disorders in the child and education psychology fields, it has been considered that every child and adolescent must have an integral treatment plan, where technology advances can be part of it, and being available at home, becoming psycho-educative, and supportive in the treatment process. Thus, in this article, a revision of current applications about ADHD is presented.
The executive functions that are at the core of human neuropsychological functioning are attention and memory. Attention encompasses a series of brain subprocesses that allow an individual to focus his/her state of consciousness on a determined stimulus of internal and external reality. On the ohter hand, memory refers to the capacity to store and recall information. The aim of the research was to develop a smartphone application that allows stimulate memory and older adults. This artiche describes the conceptual proposal that was followed to develop a smartphone application that seeks to improve the functioning of these two brain abilities named DR. LOBUS. This application includes a series of exercises that stimulate various sub-levels of attention and memory, such as selective and sustained attention, as well as immediate memory capacity.
A culture is a collective of social norms, mannerisms, religion, language, activities, environment, and other factors that help to make us who we are. Within any culture lies its safety culture. How does an organization assess its safety culture? One method is to interview every person in an organization. However, this is impractical. Properly constructed safety surveys provide information that can be used to assess and to help improve an organization’s safety culture. Laboratory experiments of varying levels of hazards are conducted every day around the world in colleges and universities. These experiments are for basic and applied research and for teaching undergraduate and graduate students how to conduct research. Generally, these experiments are conducted safely. Many accidents have occurred in University Laboratories. Some are very horrific. This paper discusses one such accident and discusses two universities’ safety culture surveys and presents some results from the surveys.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
