El objetivo de este manual es servir de base para la elaboración del trabajo de fin de grado (TFG) en los distintos grados de ciencias de la salud, recogiendo las tipologías más frecuentes en esta rama de la ciencia. La obra se estructura en cuatro módulos, los dos primeros son introductorios y los dos últimos detallan el proceso de elaboración del TFG y su exposición. La obra está pensada para que pueda consultarse con distintos grados de profundidad, desde la consulta rápida a la consulta en profundidad. Los profesores Del Pino Casado y Martínez Riera han logrado plasmar y analizar el proceso completo de elaboración del TFG de una manera clara y sintética, pero no exenta de rigor. Así, integra dos conceptos: una exposición progresiva y escalonada de contenidos que vayan de lo básico a lo avanzado; y que dichos contenidos estén orientados no solo al qué sino también al cómo , es decir, que incluyan recomendaciones prácticas de cómo pasar a la acción. Viene a llenar un vacío de libros de texto sobre este tema, laborioso para el alumnado, que en muchos casos ha recibido escasa formación sobre las materias necesarias, y difícil de orientar por parte del profesorado, que a veces adolece de indicaciones claras al respecto.

There have been huge advances in our ability to diagnose autism and in the development of effective interventions that can change children’s lives. In this extraordinary book, Lynn Kern Koegel, a leading clinician, researcher, and cofounder of the renowned Autism Research Center at the University of California at Santa Barbara, combines her cutting-edge expertise with the everyday perspectives of Claire LaZebnik, a writer whose experience with a son with autism provides a rare window into the disorder. Together, they draw on the highly effective “pivotal response” approach developed at the center to provide concrete ways of improving the symptoms of autism and the emotional struggles that surround it, while reminding readers never to lose sight of the humor that lurks in the disability’s quirkiness or the importance of enjoying your child. From the shock of diagnosis to the step-by-step work with verbal communication, social interaction, self-stimulation, meltdowns, fears, and more, the answers are here-in a book that is as warm and nurturing as it is authoritative.

The Government and authorities in Brazil were faced with a tragic accident in Goiânia resulting from the misuse of a strongly radioactive medical teletherapy source not under radiation protection surveillance. The present report is divided into four parts: a chronology of destruction of the source, discovery of the accident and initial response; a description of the human consequences and the dosimetry and treatment of seriously exposed and contaminated persons; an account of the assessment of the environmental contamination and the remedial actions taken; and observations and recommendations. Appendices and annexes give an assessment of the effectiveness of international co-operation in the emergency response, and provide further information on: public communications; radiological survey equipment; guidelines for the discharge of patients; radiological protection; chemical decontamination; and the lessons learned.

In this thought-provoking book, Paulo Ravecca presents a series of interlocking studies on the politics of political science in the Americas. Focusing mainly on the cases of Chile and Uruguay, Ravecca employs different strands of critical theory to challenge the mainstream narrative about the development of the discipline in the region, emphasizing its ideological aspects and demonstrating how the discipline itself has been shaped by power relations. Ravecca metaphorically charts the (non-linear) transit from “cold” to “warm” to “hot” intellectual temperatures to illustrate his—alternative—narrative. Beginning with a detailed quantitative study of three regional academic journals, moving to the analysis of the role of subjectivity (and political trauma) in academia and its discourse in relation to the dictatorships in Chile and Uruguay, and arriving finally at an intimate meditation on the experience of being a queer scholar in the Latin American academy of the 21st century, Ravecca guides his readers through differing explorations, languages, and methods. The Politics of Political Science: Re-Writing Latin American Experiences offers an essential reflection on both the relationship between knowledges and politics and the political and ethical role of the scholar today, demonstrating how the study of the politics of knowledge deepens our understanding of the politics of our times.
