Pese al aumento de las tecnologías la información y comunicación (TIC) siguen vigentes preguntas como: ¿qué aportan en realidad proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje educación superior? ¿cuál es el potencial su uso? En ese contexto, se indagó percepción del uso TIC que tienen estudiantes Ciencias Educación Universidad Técnica Particular Loja. Para ello, realizó un estudio cuantitativo, de...

CONTEXT Tics in Tourette syndrome begin in childhood, peak in early adolescence, and often decrease by early adulthood. However, some adult patients continue to have impairing tics. Medications for tics are often effective but can cause adverse effects. Behavior therapy may offer an alternative but has not been examined in a large-scale controlled trial in adults. OBJECTIVE To test the effica...

During ovarian follicle growth, precise regulation of the onset of androgen production by ovarian theca-interstitial cells (TIC) is necessary for maintaining follicle viability. Thus, temporary suppression of TIC androgen production in preantral follicles is the key to promoting follicle development. Evidence indicates that this process is coordinated via intraovarian growth factors. Hepatocyte...

The purpose of this study was to compare two methods designed to produce tic reduction in 4 children with Tourette's syndrome. Specifically, a verbal instruction not to engage in tics was compared to a verbal instruction plus differential reinforcement of zero-rate behavior (DRO). Results showed that the DRO-enhanced procedure yielded greater reductions in tic frequency.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Paediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and tic disorders (TD) often present together. However, there has been relatively little research on whether comorbid tic disorders influence response to cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) for OCD. This study aimed to examine the outcomes of CBT for paediatric patients with OCD and a tic disorder compared to a matched group...

Recently, two types of ice clouds (TICs) properties have been characterized using the Indirect and SemiDirect Aerosol Campaign (ISDAC) airborne measurements (Alaska, April 2008). TIC-2B were characterized by fewer (< 10 L−1) and larger (> 110 μm) ice crystals, and a larger ice supersaturation (> 15 %) compared to TIC-1/2A. It has been hypothesized that emissions of SO2 may reduce the ice nuclea...
