    La adaptación de las universidades al Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior. Un proceso metodológico para el diseño de planes estratégicos
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2007-07-01) De Pablos Pons, Juan; Colás Bravo, Pilar; González Ramírez, Teresa; Jiménez Cortés, Rocío
    This article shows a methodologic procedure for the design of strategic plans. It comes form a prospective study made in the University of Seville with the purpose of establishing a diagnostic for to know that demands of the university to the incorporation at the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) and thus to value the changes that are due to make in scopes like the infrastructure dowry, formation of teaching staff and students in their supply of degrees. In this work, SWOT has been applied to identifiy the Weaknesses, Threats, Strenghts and Opportunities raised by a set of agents, like internal (deans, directors of departament, teachers an studens) like external (graduated, employers, public administrations, NGOs and teachin staff of high school) and, at a second moment, to derive from the same ones, lines of institutional intervention. Therefore, through a real case, one sets out a model and its methodologic sequence, like reference for the university institutions, that allows to carry out the corresponding diagnostic analysis for to design possible strategic plans.

    Un análisis contemporáneo del Twitter
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2011) Fainholc, Beatriz
    Las redes sociales en Internet son el fenómeno socio-electrónico contemporáneo que replantea la vida diaria en sus formas básicas de comunicación, interacción y producción de saber, mediado por TIC. Pueden ser, beneficiosas y limitadas, pero nunca, panaceicas. La alfabetización digital se basa menos sólo en el dominio de las herramientas y plataformas tecnológicas,- que han demostrado ser bastante efímeras- , y referirse más al pensamiento superior y al desarrollo de competencias digitales, para enfrentar, desmistificar y optimizar, las múltiples caras de los artefactos y programas electrónicos y no solo valorar (pobremente), la información o los contenidos multimedia que portan sino la forma en que se establece la comunicación, analizando las fortalezas y debilidades de la misma para ser capitalizadas las primeras, y compensadas, las segundas das hacia un desarrollo más comprehensivo de personas, grupos y organizaciones sociales. En este marco se analiza el comportamiento de los Twitter en la contemporaneidad y en relación a sus posibilidades de ser integrado a situaciones de enseñanza y de aprendizaje, presencial o virtual.

    Creatine monohydrate ingestion-related placebo e effects on brief anaerobic exercise performance. A laboratory investigation
    (Murcia: Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Murcia, 2017) Szabó, Attila; Szemerszky, R.; Dömötör, Z.; De la Vega, R.; Koteles, Ferenc
    ABSTRACT: People’s thoughts infuence their action that led researchers to inves- tigate the placebo efect in exercise performance. In the current study the pla- cebo efects of creatine monohydrate on a one-minute anaerobic step-exercise performance were examined in a double blind laboratory inquiry. University students (n = 79, 64.5% women) were randomly assigned to one of three expe- rimental conditions: 1) intervention (ingestion of 80 mg/kg dissolved creatine monohydrate, n = 26), 2) placebo (ingestion of dissolved corn starch, thought to be creatine, n = 26), and 3) no-intervention control (ingestion of drinking water only, n = 27). After a baseline measurement, participants have consumed their respective drinks and 40 minutes later the 1-minute exercise was repeated. While analysis of variance revealed no group level diferences in actual and perceived change in performance, the latter was linked to participants’ expec- tations regarding performance on the second exercise test in the correlation analysis. Two thirds of the participants in the current study believed that their performance would improve in the actual test-exercise. However, these expec- tations were not linked to creatine ingestion. Tese fndings suggest that (1) a single dose of creatine monohydrate does not afect anaerobic performance, (2) in low-challenge and low-subjective-importance “artifcial” research condi- tions sufcient expectations could not be evoked, and probably due to the lack of creatine-related expectations the placebo efects did not emerge.
