This group is made up of young people with: (1) psychotic symptoms of less intensity or less frequency during a brief time or having genetic history of psychotic disorders associated to a significant deterioration in functioning. The few existing interventions for this population have a low level of evidence. Physical activity and exercise have been shown to be part of the therapy for multiple psychiatric disorders, while a sedentary lifestyle would be a factor that favors psychosis. Indeed, people in clinical high risk for psychosis present a worse physical condition associated with a greater sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy habits. It has been proposed that exercise generates a positive biological effect on the hippocampus and surrounding areas, regions that would be involved in the pathophysiology of psychosis. Some experimental studies have shown a decrease in psychotic symptoms in patients with clinical high risk for psychosis who have followed physical exercise guidelines, as well as morphofunctional changes in brain structures. Although there are barriers to the implementation of this intervention, it is safe and feasible. It is necessary to conduct a greater number of experimental studies on a larger scale to measure its efficacy, generating scientific evidence that will eventually allow physical exercise to be included in clinical practice guidelines as a systematic recommendation for clinical high risk for psychosis.</p>","PeriodicalId":18597,"journal":{"name":"Medwave","volume":"23 8","pages":"e2724"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10287743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to Judge (2012), the first research reports began in 1970 with studies done by Rubin and Stern in 1975. These studies reported that the main concern of these researchers was to know what good students did different from those students who did not reach successful results in the learning process, concentrating their studies in directed classrooms focused from teacher-centred approaches to student-centred ones (Rubin, 1987; Zhao, 2009 as cited in Gursoy, 2010). In language learning, the cognitive theory which observes processes of how learners acquire, interpret, remember and utilize information becomes significant due to its direct connection with learners’ comprehensive approach, meanwhile, metacognitive strategies become relevant because they regulate and direct the language learning process referring this to an individual’s awareness of thinking about the way to acquire the target language (Bidabadi, 2013). The study addressed the following research question: What are the students’ perceptions in relation to the use of metacognitive strategies to learn English as a Foreign Language? Objetivos The purpose of this study is to investigate the student’s perceptions in relation to the use of metacognitive strategies to learn English as a Foreign Language. Método This qualitative study used phenomenological methodology as the purpose of this research was to explore the students’ experience in relation to the use of metacognitive strategies in the field of English as a Foreign Language. Qualitative research focuses on the understanding of human behavior, believes, motivations and values which are extremely complex due to the interest of uncovering meaning of phenomenon and understanding people’s interpretations of their experiences (Lapan, 2012). The subjective experience of individuals and how they interpret their reality stresses the importance in qualitative studies (Cohen, 2018). In applied linguistics, qualitative research has gained recognition for providing significant insights in different aspects of language acquisition and its direct connection with social and cultural influences in language learning (Dörnyei and Griffee, 2010). This study adopted the interpretative paradigm for the intentions of understanding and interpreting the reality in terms of actions (Cohen, 2018). Principales resultados There were four main metacognitive strategies identified in the twelve extracts: arranging and planning learning, developing comprehension, seeking out practice opportunity and building background. The subtheme arranging and planning the learning was determined by activities done by learners like looking for what is in the next lesson, summarizing or making notes, looking for effective arrangements, and practicing for coming presentations.

El desconocimiento de temas políticos, ambientales, económicos y sociales por parte de las autoridades de turno, han sido un factor que ha centrado el progreso de esta actividad del cantón únicamente con algunos prestadores de este servicio. La planificación es esencial para conocer profundamente el plan de turismo que se viene trabajando con la posibilidad de identificar los instrumentos que se han aplicada y su respectivo análisis permitiendo un mejor desarrollo acorde a las necesidades del lugar y actuando conforme a ello, para obtener resultados positivos que beneficien a todos. Por otra parte el impulso del turismo sostenible del cantón es realizado por los emprendimientos turísticos que han sido tomados en cuenta por la unidad de turismo donde las autoridades plantean metas e indicadores que se deseen alcanzar a futuro tomando en cuenta los aspectos económicos, sociales y ambientales, siendo parte fundamental y necesaria en el levantamiento de información de una correcta planificación turística y que con las indicaciones pertinentes y necesarias se pueda aplicar en todo el entorno. Objetivos Analizar la planificación turística y los elementos relacionados con el desarrollo sostenible aplicado en el cantón Pelileo. Método El estudio se inició con el levantamiento de información bibliográfica considerando estudios previos generales relacionados con la planificación turística, de igual forma se analizaron documentos del objeto de estudio, mismo que ha sido planteado como eje del desarrollo turístico en el país. Desde el punto de vista cualitativo se analizaron datos en el estudio de campo, recolectando información directa de los actores vinculados a la planificación turística en el cantón Pelileo, se encuestó 2 expertos del área de turismo y se entrevistó a 42 prestadores de servicios turísticos registrados que operan en el cantón Pelileo, el Alfa de Cronbach fue de 0,716. Principales resultados La inclusión de elementos relacionados con los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (ODS) planteados por la Organización de Naciones Unidas (ONU), permitirá partir de acciones que fomenten la conservación ambiental, es decir, a futuro la elaboración de la planificación turística, del cantón Pelileo podrá incluir factores como; producción y consumo responsable, acción por el clima, trabajo decente y crecimiento económico que direccionen al desarrollo sostenible.

The Web is not good for very long documents that need to present an ever-evolving argument. Some of the Internet technologies for the development and use of Websites are grouped in Web 2.0 tools. Which are a set of interaction mechanisms with visitors to a website where programmers offer new services on the sites, achieving greater interactivity to enable the formation of virtual communities. Educaplay is a platform for the creation of multimedia educational activities, characterized by attractive and professional results. Is aimed at creating a community of users with a vocation to learn and teach while having fun. The platform provides various possibilities for teaching professionals to install their own online educational space on the platform, where everyone can take classes to another level of participation. In addition, this application allows teachers to create different types of multimedia and interactive activities with educational orientation, through different scenarios such as Riddles, Complete, Crossword, Dialogue, Dictation, Order letters, Order words, Test. Objetivos To identify the importance of Educational Websites (Educaplay) for teaching vocabulary. Método The research was important to take into account and consider the different types of resources such as technical, technological, and human. Technical resources, books, articles, and online theses from the Universidad Técnica de Ambato repository, among others, were used to obtain the necessary information and guide the research. On the other hand, to apply the first variable were used some technological resources like computers, smartphones, and Educational websites (Educaplay). Then, to measure the second variable the Reading and Writing Part of Flyers Cambridge exam was chosen . Finally, in terms of human resources, there were 22 students from Unidad Educativa Sagrada Familia in 9th grade “A” of EGB, of which 12 students were women and 10 were men. This research was also based on a qualitative approach. It was qualitative because a series of interventions and observation techniques were carried out on the Educational Websites (Educaplay) and the influence on vocabulary teaching. Principales resultados The test that was applied consists of 3 parts. The first part comprised a dialogue between two people in which students completed multiple selection questions. The second part was about a gap-fill activity in which students chose an appropriate word to complete sentences. The third part featured a variety of sentences in which students had to read and choose the appropriate word that defines it. The rubric used allowed the students to obtain a score of 2.5 out of 2.5 points, for parts 1 and 2, on the other hand, in part 3 the students were able to obtain a score of 5 points.
