Critical Evaluation of the Effectiveness of a Textbook for the Preparation of the Official Cambridge Exam B2 First Certificate
(2024) Luque Herrador, Marcela María; Sánchez Torres, Jorge; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Filología Inglesa (Lengua Inglesa)
Nowadays, acquiring a second language has become an essential skill, just like other skills for personal and professional development. For this reason, more and more students are preparing for the B2 First Certificate level through private language schools. To achieve this, it is necessary to develop English language skills at B2 level. The official Cambridge exams serve as a reliable measure of language proficiency. The use of textbooks is a common practice in English language teaching. However, not all of them are effective. It is therefore hypothesised that using the appropriate textbook will help students improve their language skills and achieve effective preparation. In this study, a textbook for preparing students for the B2 official exam has been analysed and the results show that not all language skills are balanced, and students are not well prepared for the exam. This research will contribute to improving the quality of teaching and students’ learning in the future.
El acceso al mundo laboral en los manuales de español para inmigrantes: contraste con el mismo ámbito en las unidades didácticas diseñadas para el español con fines profesionales
(2024) Rodríguez Sardá, Juan Manuel; Leal Abad, Elena; Universidad de Sevilla. Departamento de Lengua Española, Lingüística y Teoría de la Literatura
El lenguaje debe ser entendido como la llave que permite al individuo la interacción con otros hablantes de su mismo idioma permitiéndole la creación de una red social, laboral y personal que facilita su integración dentro de una sociedad con una misma habla. Partiendo de esta base, este estudio pretende analizar cómo se plantean actividades de inserción laboral en los manuales de español para inmigrantes y aquellos otros dirigidos a fines profesionales con el fin de usar la
enseñanza del español como herramienta facilitadora de la integración del colectivo de inmigrantes y refugiado recién arribado a nuestro país. Se pretende pues que, a través de la adquisición del idioma, este colectivo alcance sus objetivos de lograr una estabilidad social, personal y laboral, consiguiendo pasar a ser un agente
activo dentro de nuestra comunidad. Para ello, se busca profundizar en las características de esta tipología de alumnado, el enfoque metodológico que se ha llevado a cabo por parte de diversos autores y proyectos, la posibilidad de uso de la rama de español con fines específicos y el tratamiento que se le da en la actualidad al acceso del mundo laboral para, finalmente, crear un programa curricular que cumpla el objetivo anteriormente comentado.
Immediate effects of the suboccipital muscle inhibition technique in craniocervical posture and greater occipital nerve mechanosensitivity in subjects with a history of orthodontia use: a randomized trial

Objective
The purpose of this study was to measure the immediate differences in craniocervical posture and pressure pain threshold of the greater occipital (GO) nerve in asymptomatic subjects with a history of having used orthodontics, after intervention by a suboccipital muscle inhibition (SMI) technique.
Methods
This was a randomized, single-blind, clinical study with a sample of 24 subjects (21 ± 1.78 years) that were divided into an experimental group (n = 12) who underwent the SMI technique and a sham group (n = 12) who underwent a sham (placebo) intervention. The sitting and standing craniovertebral angle and the pressure pain threshold of the GO nerve in both hemispheres were measured.
Results
The between-group comparison of the sample indicated that individuals subjected to the SMI technique showed a statistically significant increase in the craniovertebral angle in both the sitting (P < .001, F1,22 = 102.09, R2 = 0.82) and the standing (P < .001, F1,22 = 21.42, R2 = 0.56) positions and in the GO nerve pressure pain threshold in the nondominant hemisphere (P = .014, F1,22 = 7.06, R2 = 0.24). There were no statistically significant differences observed for the GO nerve mechanosensitivity in the dominant side (P = .202).
Conclusion
Suboccipital muscle inhibition technique immediately improved the position of the head with the subject seated and standing, the clinical effect size being large in the former case. It also immediately decreased the mechanosensitivity of the GO nerve in the nondominant hemisphere, although the effect size was small.
Effect of interferential current therapy on pain perception and disability level in subjects with chronic low back pain: a randomized controlled trial

CTS1136: Patología y Función del Pie; Universidad de Sevilla. CTS1110: Understanding Movement & Self in Health from Science
Objective:
To assess the short-term efficacy of transregional interferential current therapy on pain perception and disability level in chronic non-specific low back pain.
Design:
A randomized, single-blinded (the assessor collecting the outcome data was blinded), controlled trial.
Setting:
A private physiotherapy research clinic.
Subjects:
A total of 64 individuals, 20 men and 44 women, mean (SD) age was 51 years (11.93), with low back pain of more than three months, with or without pain radiating to the lower extremities above the knee, were distributed into a control (n = 20) or an experimental group (n = 44). A 2:1 randomization ratio was used in favour of the latter.
Interventions:
A transregional interferential current electrotherapy protocol was performed for participants in the experimental group, while the control group underwent a ‘usual care’ treatment (massage, mobilization and soft-tissue techniques). All subjects received up to 10 treatment sessions of 25 minutes over a two-week period, and completed the intervention and follow-up evaluations.
Outcome measures:
Self-perceived pain was assessed with a Visual Analogue Scale. Secondary measure included the Oswestry Low Back Disability Index. Evaluations were collected at baseline and after the intervention protocol.
Results:
Significant between-group differences were found for interferential current therapy on pain perception (p = 0.032) and disability level (p = 0.002). The observed differences in the between-group mean changes were of 11.34 mm (1.77/20.91) and 13.38 points (4.97/21.78), respectively.
Conclusions:
A two-week transregional interferential current treatment has shown significant short-term efficacy, when compared with a ‘usual care’ protocol, on self-perceived pain and functionality in subjects with chronic low back pain.
