Seasonality of livebirths and climatic factors in Italian regions (1863-1933) by Gabriele Ruiu, Marco Breschi

“…The aim is to investigate the effects of temperature on conceptions, and subsequently on the seasonality of livebirths, while controlling for a possible social confounding effect, i.e. the seasonal pattern of marriage. To achieve this end, we empirically investigate the role of temperature as well as that of marriage seasonality in Italian regions for the period stretching from the Italian unification to the eve of World War II. …”

Methodological proposal for the incorporation of the clinical simulation cases to the system of teaching-learning methods in the Pediatric’s rotacional internship by Luis Alberto Corona Martínez, Mercedes Fonseca Hernández, Raúl López Férnandez, Nicolás Ramón Cruz Pérez

“…The proposal is based in three elements: the full correspondence between the proposal; the current tendencies of the medical education; and the principal characteristics that govern the formation of general doctors in Cuba; the pedagogic value of the simulation like teaching method; and the possibilities that the computer offers as medium of teaching. The theoretical pattern is determined by the systemic focus of the teaching educational process; the concept of multiplicity of teaching methods; and the professor's outstanding rol in the process. …”
