La UGR confía en mantener a los 8 profesores cuyo trabajo peligra

Escrito por

El delegado del rector señaló que espera que el problema de estos docentes afectados por la eliminación de la oferta de empleo público se solucione antes de final de año.
El delegado del rector de la Universidad de Granada en Melilla, Sebastián Sánchez, aseguró ayer en declaración a El Faro, que espera que la situación de los ocho docentes del Campus, cuyos puestos de trabajo están pendientes de la renovación del contrato, pueda solucionarse. Sánchez aseguró que desde la UGR se está trabajando para encontrar la forma de que estos profesores puedan continuar trabajando en la universidad, pero que es una negociación complicada.
Los ocho docentes afectados pertenecen al colectivo de Profesor Ayudante Doctor, uno de los afectados por el decreto de ley de enero de 2012 que prohíbe expresamente la convocatoria de Oferta Pública de Empleo. Estos profesores entraron a trabajar en la UGR con un contrato de cinco años. Habitualmente este tipo de contrato es con el que entra la mayoría de los docentes a la institución educativa y durante los cinco años tienen que hacer méritos para conseguir la acreditación con la que pasen de al siguiente escalón, el de profesor contratado o titular.
Sin embargo, con el nuevo real decreto de enero, se complica la posibilidad de que pueda contratarse de nuevo a estos profesores, que a priori podrían perder su puesto en septiembre de 2013, fecha en la que concluyen los cinco años de vinculación con la UGR.
El delegado del rector indicó que el pasado viernes se reunió con los afectados para explicarles cuál era la situación. Sánchez precisó que en ese encuentro les confirmó que efectivamente la nueva legislación limita la contratación, pero que desde la Universidad se estaba trabajando para conseguir encontrar una vía alternativa que permita que puedan seguir ejerciendo en la UGR.
Sánchez insistió en que su intención y la del rector de la UGR, Francisco González Lodeiro, es que el real decreto afecte lo menos posible al personal de la Universidad. El delegado del rector señaló, además, que los afectados deberían valorar más cuál es el origen del problema y quiénes son los que están trabajando para encontrar una solución.
Asimismo, destacó que desde la Conferencia de Rectores de Universidades Españolas (CRUE) también se está negociando para encontrar la forma de que estos profesores puedan continuar trabajando.
No obstante, Sánchez indicó que no se puede optar por una solución «a la ligera» porque las consecuencias no serían buenas ni para los profesores ni para la institución. En este sentido, recordó que la UGR ya ha tenido problemas por la convocatoria de una plaza de funcionario para promoción interna.

‘Pinocchio Effect’ behind liars’ noses boiling after act

Escrito por

Scientists have claimed that a rise in anxiety after lying increases the temperature of the tip of your nose.
If you’re worried that your fib will be uncovered, the researchers also suggest a way of cooling the nose down – making «a great mental effort.»
The scientists, from the University of Granada, discovered the phenomenon by using thermal imaging cameras to monitor volunteers, the Daily Mail reported.
They have called it «The Pinocchio Effect,» in honour of the 19th century Italian tale of the wooden puppet whose nose grew when he failed to tell the truth.
In their doctoral thesis, Emilio Gomez Milan and Elvira Salazar Lopez suggest that the temperature of the nose increases or decreases according to mood, as does the orbital muscle area in the inner corner of the eyes.
The scientists also claim thermal imaging can detect sexual desire and arousal in men and women, indicated by an increase in temperature in the chest and genital areas.
And the technique also allowed the researchers to produce thermal footprints – body patterns with specific temperature changes – for aerobic exercise and distinct types of dance, such as ballet.
«When someone dances Flamenco, the temperature in their buttocks lowers and it rises in their forearms,» the researchers said.
«This is the thermal footprint for Flamenco, although each type of dance has its own,» they said.
The pair reached their conclusions after discovering that when the volunteers lied about their feelings, the brain’s insular cortex was altered.
«The insular cortex is involved in the detection and regulation of body temperature, so there is a large negative correlation between the activity of this structure and the magnitude of the temperature change,» they said.
«The more activity in the insular cortex (the higher the visceral feeling), lower heat exchange occurs, and vice versa,» they added.

Researchers confirm the ‘Pinocchio Effect’: When you lie, your nose temperature raises

Escrito por

The University of Granada researchers are pioneers in the application of thermography to the psychology field. Thermography is a technique based on determining body temperature.
When a person lies they suffer a «Pinocchio effect», which is an increase in the temperature around the nose and in the orbital muscle in the inner corner of the eye. In addition, when we perform a considerable mental effort our face temperature drops and when we have an anxiety attack our face temperature raises. These are some of the conclusions drawn in this pioneer study conducted at the University of Granada Department of Experimental Psychology, which has introduced new applications of thermography.
Thermography is a technique based on body temperature that is applied in many fields such as general industry, the building industry and medicine. Thermographic cameras have a wide range of uses such as measuring energy loss in buildings, indicating respiratory diseases in bovine animals or rabies in raccoons. Thermography was developed in the USA during the II World War to detect the enemy (night vision).
Excitement is the Same in Men and Women
The University of Granada researchers Emilio Gómez Milán and Elvira Salazar López have been pioneers in applying thermography to the field of Psychology, and they have obtained very innovative and interesting results. Thus, sexual excitement and desire can be identified in men and women using thermography, since they induce an increase in chest and genital temperature. This study demonstrates that –in physiological terms– men and women get excited at the same time, even although women say they are not excited or only slightly excited.
Scientists have discovered that when a mental effort is made (performing difficult tasks, being interrogated on a specific event or lying) face temperature changes.
When we lie on our feelings, the temperature around our nose raises and a brain element called «insula» is activated. The insula is a component of the brain reward system, and it only activates when we experience real feelings (called «qualias»). The insula is involved in the detection and regulation of body temperature. Therefore, there is a strong negative correlation between insula activity and temperature increase: the more active the insule (the greater the feeling) the lower the temperature change, and viceversa, the researchers state.
The Thermal Footprint of Flamenco
Researchers also determined the thermal footprint of aerobic exercise and different dance modalities such as ballet. When a person is dancing flamenco the temperature in their buttocks drops and increases in their forearms. That is the thermal footprint of flamenco, and each dance modality has a specific thermal footprint, professor Salazar explains.
The researchers have demonstrated that temperature asymmetries in both sides of the body and local temperature changes are associated with the physical, mental and emotional status of the subject. The thermogram is a somatic marker of subjective or mental states and allows us see what a person is feeling or thinking, professor Salazar states.
Finally, thermography is useful for evaluating emotions (since the face thermal pattern is different) and identifying emotional contagion. For example, when a highly empathic person sees another person having an electric discharge in their forearm, they become infected by their suffering and temperature in their forearm increases. In patients with certain neurological disease such as multiple sclerosis, the body does not properly regulates temperature, which can be detected by a thermogram. Thermography can also be applied to determine body fat patterns, which is very useful in weight loss and training programs. It can also be applied to assess body temperature in celiac patients and in patients with anorexia, etc.
