The social problems experienced by persons with epilepsy become increasingly apparent to those who work closely with group associations. The objective of our study was to obtain information on personal attitudes and knowledge about epilepsies. Primary and high-school teachers and professors (medical and non-medical areas) were submitted to a questionnaire which was designed to obtain this information. We concluded that most professors (including those of medical areas) do not know enough about epilepsies. We believe that problems which are perceived by epileptics regarding social aspects may be softened through improved education of the community in general. Continued education of medical practitioners, professors, teachers, patients and their families leads to a positive attitude towards epilepsies, which are essential and may help to improve life quality and the patient's medical treatment.
los animales desarrollan diversas estrategias para obtener comida. El laberinto Octogonal de Olton es un aparato apropiado para estudiar la estrategias que utilizan las ratas para ubicar el lugar del alimento. requiere de memoria a corto plazo ("working memory") pues el S deberá retener informacion para completar la tarea sin cometer ningun error, se considera un error volver a entrar a un brazo ya visitado. El objeto del presente trabajo fue estudiar la estrategia utilizada por 3 cepas de ratas albinas, grises y Hoodep (Cepa Long Evans), para localizar la comida bajo dos condiciones de motivación: un grupo fue deprivado de comida hasta llegar al 84% de su peso inicial, y el otro al 75%.En base a los resultados previamente obtenidos en nuestro laboratorio, planteamos la hipótesis de que las ratas menos motivadas (84%) se comportan como las descritas en la literatura, es decir, entrando a los brazos de forma aleatoria, guiadas por claves visuales alocéntricas. Cuando el grado de deprivación fuese mayor, las ratas usarían claves intralaberínticas egocéntricas y propioceptivas. Esta estrategia egocéntrica debería ser más efectiva ya que las ratas al elegir más el brazo adyacentes cometen menos errores.
Architecture, as a science, presents great visibility in urban spaces. Understanding the continuity from past shapes represent insights on ancient times, societies, one intends to analyze which factors determine such continuity. The main aim will be to consider architecture as a continuity element, emphasizing its position on urban settings, i.e., urban visibility. In the urban space, one finds the difference between what endured over time and new constructions. The current urban reality will then become the synthesis between transformations conducted on pre-existence or new constructions. Beginning by framing an urban space with monumental relations and ephemeral representations, one intends to approach architecture under a broad perspective, while not overlooking theoretical and historical relations underlying to the place from a scholastic point of view and trying to analyze the architectures' work together with accumulated problems or transformations that take place with less theoretical and scholastic visibility.
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.
