Repeatability of the measurement of the horizontal phoria in near vision with cover test and modified thorington method

Objectiu- Estudiar la repetibilitat del cover test alternant i el mètode modificat de Thorington. Mètode- En aquest estudi han participat 10 persones joves i sanes amb agudesa visual de prop igual o superior a 20/20 amb la seva correcció habitual. El cover test es va realitzar amb un test a 40 cm d'agudesa visual de 20/25 i màxima il·luminació. Thorington es va realitzar a 40 cm amb la vareta Maddox davant de l'ull dret i la targeta corresponent, la il·luminació de la sala era reduïda. Ambdues mesures es van realizar dues vegades pel mateix examinador amb un interval de 24 hores. L'anàlisi estadística es va realitzar amb la versió SPSS 22.0. Resultats- La mitjana absoluta de les diferències i la desviació estàndard entre les mesures del cover test va ser d'1.000±0.943 i 0.400±0.943 per Thorington (p=0.000). Bland & Altman mostren que hi ha una diferència d'aproximadament 0,5 entre les dues proves delcovertest i no hi ha diferència apreciable entre les dues mesures amb el mètode de Thorington. S'obté una bona concordança en tots dos mètodes. Conclusions- El cover test alternant i Thorington modificat van presentar una bona repetibilitat intraexaminador en visió de prop. Tots dos mètodes són precisos per quantificar la fòria en visió propera

Balanced centricity and triads: strategies to reach ecosystem equilibrium in the arts sector

The purpose of this paper is to analyze whether triads structure can facilitate or inhibit the evolution into a service ecosystem. The triad structure and the institutions that dominate the triads will determine the evolution into ecosystem, remain as triad or die. “Balanced centricity” in considered a desirable institution that increases the possibility for transforming triads into ecosystems through marketing equilibrium.Universidad de Málaga.

The Balanced Innovation Model. The case of Crowdfunding platforms.

Purpose – The paper aims to analyze balanced centricity (Gummesson, 2008) as an institutional arrangement (Vargo and Lusch, 2016) fostering the innovation process by taking out the customer from the central positioning to involve other business partners. The practices of actors’ service ecosystem are put in focus (Russo Spena et al., 2017; Tronvoll, 2017). Methodology–. Qualitative case study research was conducted using different methods of data generation including personal interviews and netnography analysis of the crowdfunding context. fifteen cases on the crowdfunding context from five different platforms and in four different countries were analysed. Research limitations/implications (if applicable) –The empirical approach considers fifteensuccess cases on the crowdfunding context in four different platforms and countries. Other contexts, different from the crowdfunding and other countries would be useful to add new perspectives to the theory development. Originality– The present paper defines a theoretical Model for Balanced Innovation, that brings together the concepts “Balanced Centricity”, “Innovation” and “Service ecosystems”. Hitherto, it offers a basis for designing systems of value co-creation which aims to facilitate innovation through institutionalization and value co-creation in viable service ecosystems.Universidad de Málaga.

Repercusiones en el pie del patrón de marcha del adulto con obesidad

Treball Final de Grau de Podología, Escola Universitaria d'Infermeria, Universitat de Barcelona, curs: 2013-2014, Tutor: Manuel Pérez QuirosLa obesidad en adultos es un problema de salud pública creciente. El exceso de peso provoca alteraciones biomecánicas en las articulaciones de las extremidades inferiores y contribuye a la aparición de patología. Los adultos que presentan sobrepeso u obesidad tienen un condicionante que provoca unas alteraciones vasculares y metabólicas que condicionan la salud de los pies. También provoca una pérdida de autonomía que supone unas limitaciones para el cuidado de los pies. Esta revisión se centra en las alteraciones que provoca la obesidad en el patrón de marcha y las consecuencias que esas alteraciones pueden tener sobre el pie y sobre la extremidad inferior

Value proposition as a framework for value co-creation in crowd-funding ecosystem

The present paper suggests that crowd-funding in the arts and cultural sector occurs within a complex service ecosystem, where six categories of value propositions frame eight value co-creation processes, namely through ideation, evaluation, design, testing, launch, financing and authorship. Managerial contributions include the development of a crowd-funding service ecosystem model for arts managers, which offers not only a method of financing or economic value, but which also offers opportunities for strengthening bonds with customers and other stakeholders. Our paper is innovative in that we integrate value propositions categories with the micro – meso and macro contexts and analyse the different kind of co-creation are framed in the crowdfunding contextUniversidad de Málaga.

Entorn virtual d'agendes d'aprenentatge individualitzades

Les agendes d'aprenentatge han de servir als alumnes, com a eines de plani cació i seguiment de treball personal, en tant que hi poden trobar tota la informació necessària per al seguiment de totes les seves tasques. Així doncs, cal desenvolupar una nova eina, que faciliti aquesta tasca, donada la inexistència d'eines similars amb aquesta voluntat. S'ha desenvolupat una agenda d'aprenentatge mitjançant un calendari web on s'hi presenten totes les tasques d'una assignatura. Així l'alumne té consciència de tota la feina que ha de fer i li serveix com a guia educativa en un entorn de blended-learning.Las agendas de aprendizaje deben servir a los alumnos, como herramientas de plani cación y seguimiento de trabajo personal, ya que en ellas, pueden encontrar toda la información necesaria para el seguimiento de todos los eventos. Así pues, se debe desarrollar una nueva herramienta, que facilite esta labor, dada la inexistencia de herramientas similares con esta voluntad. Se ha desarrollado una agenda de aprendizaje mediante un calendario web donde se presentan todos los eventos de una asignatura. Así el alumno tiene consciencia de toda la labor que debe realizar y le sirve como guía educativa en un entorno de blended-learning.Learning agendas should be used by students, in order to plan and track their personal work. In these agendas they can nd all the information needed for tracking all the events. So, we must develop a new tool that facilitates this labour, due to the inexistence of tools with similar purposes. We have developed a learning agenda using a web calendar where they can nd all events related to a subject. By this way students has conscience of all the work that they must do and it works as an educational guide into a blended-learning environtment

The role of balanced centricity on service ecosystems development: an analysis of new business models

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to propose that for a service ecosystem to arise, there is a need for all the stakeholders to seek for balanced centricity at the micro, meso and macro context. For new collaborative models, can be considered the basis for value co-creation into ecosystems. Design/Methodology/approach – The authors apply a conceptual approach to develop and propose a framework for deepening understanding balanced centricity as the basis for value co-creation at every level of the service ecosystem. Qualitative case study research was conducted with different methods of data generation including interviews and participant observation. Findings –New business models need new strategies as all the actors exchange resources looking for the benefit of the whole system. In this sense, authors argue for considering balanced centricity as an strategy that enables the ecosystems to arise. From this perspective, balanced centricity should be developed at every level of the ecosystem (micro, meso and macro). Research limitations/implications (if applicable) – The paper is a conceptual paper that combines with an empirical approach. The empirical approach only considers five success cases on the arts sector. Other sectors different from the cultural and other countries would be useful to add new perspectives to the theory development. Practical implications (if applicable) – Although sometimes an ecosystem arises in a natural way into markets, the configuration and development of Balanced Centricity as a strategy would be useful in order to both: increase value co-creation among existing ecosystems and facilitation of ecosystems development. As ecosystems arising is considered a desired fact, innovation into public universities have found into this strategy a model to foster and develop new businesses. It is the case of Link by UMA Tech, wich in the context of the University of Málaga is developing with great success an strategy based on facilitating ecosystems arising making use of balanced centricity strategy. Originality/value – The present paper re-defines the conceptualization of balanced centricity, considering it as an strategy to be developed at every level of the service ecosystem. Previous papers have never put together these concepts that build on the ecosystem theory to better understand and make easier the ecosystem management in both directions: for ecosystems fostering and to facilitate new ecosystems arising.Universidad de Málaga.
