La UGR aumenta las becas Erasmus a pesar de los recortes del Ministerio

Escrito por

El revuelo que están creando las noticias que anuncian un lúgubre futuro para las becas Erasmus ha hecho saltar las alarmas entre los beneficiarios y entre los posibles candidatos de cara al próximo curso. Ante esta situación, la vicerrectora de Relaciones internacionales de la Universidad de Granada, Dorothy Kelly, ha querido aclarar que «no corren peligro». Como muestra del esfuerzo que esta institución académica está realizando «para proteger» el programa, ha aumentado en 300 el número de plazas para la convocatoria del año que viene.

Así lo anunció esta semana Kelly, quien detalló que el número total de plazas para las becas Eramus del curso 2013-2014 por parte de la Universidad de Granada es de 4.161 para un total de 669 instituciones socias. Sin embargo, la propia vicerrectora recordó que aún queda por saber cuál será la partida exacta del Ministerio de Educación para el presente curso, aunque ya ha anunciado que reducirá la cuantía de sus aportaciones en un 40%. Tal y como ha publicado en el BOE a principios de este mes, el máximo de las cuantías será de 150 euros al mes y las ayudas para los alumnos becados por el Ministerio el año anterior se reducirán de los 304 a los 150. Y esas dos cantidades como máximo, aunque la cuantía de las becas se completa con las aportaciones de la Agencia Nacional Erasmus y la Junta de Andalucía.

Eso en la práctica -tal y como reconoce Carmen Caballero Navas, directora del secretariado de movilidad internacional- irá en detrimento de los estudiantes con mayores necesidades, aquellos que cuentan con ayudas de Educación para poder mantenerse mientras cursan sus estudios.

La incertidumbre es tal que muchos alumnos han renunciado a su plaza de este año, una decisión que hasta esta fecha había tenido una sanción económica pero que este año se ha eliminado. «Entendemos que la situación es difícil, no tanto por la cuantía de estas becas, que son sólo una ayuda a la movilidad, como por la situación de las familias de los estudiantes, porque en algunos casos hasta ambos progenitores están en paro», explica Carmen Caballero Navas, directora del secretariado de movilidad internacional.

Además de esas becas, el Programa Propio de Movilidad Internacional ofrece otras posibilidades para los estudiantes de grado: en concreto hay unas 400 plazas para estudiantes de grado para cursar estudios en aproximadamente 100 instituciones de 25 países, organizados por áreas geográficas: América Latina, Asia, Australia, Oceanía, Norteamérica, Países Árabes, Mediterráneo y Países del Este. Desde el año pasado, las ayudas se modulan en función del coste del viaje, el coste de vida en destino y la duración de la estancia, aunque oscilan entre los 600 y los 1.500 euros.

Feeling the heat? Why a hot nose is the tell-tale sign of a liar

Escrito por

Scientists from the University of Granada used thermal imaging to prove anxiety makes the nose heat up

The academics claim the technique can also detect sexual desire and arousal in men and woman

Contrary to what you may say to your children, telling a lie doesn’t, of course, make your nose grow like Pinocchio’s. But it does make it hotter.

Scientists claim that a rise in anxiety produced by lying will increase the temperature of the tip of your nose.

And if you’re worried that your fib will be uncovered, they 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.

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, released yesterday, Emilio Gómez Milán and Elvira Salazar López 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 pair to produce thermal footprints  –  body patterns with specific temperature changes – for aerobic exercise and distinct types of dance, such as ballet.

The Pinocchio effect: Researchers at the University of Granada found that the temperature of the nose rises as a person becomes anxious

They explained: ‘When someone dances Flamenco, the temperature in their buttocks lowers and it rises in their forearms.

‘This is the thermal footprint for Flamenco, although each type of dance has its own.’

The pair reached their conclusions after discovering that when the volunteers lied about their feelings, the brain’s insular cortex was altered.

They said: ‘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.

‘The more activity in the insular cortex (the higher the visceral feeling), lower heat exchange occurs, and vice versa.’

‘Pinocchio effect’: Lying sends nose-tip temperature soaring, but size unchanged: scientists

Escrito por

It takes a ‘great mental effort’ to cool the nose down – says the University of Granada’s Emilio Gómez Milán and Elvira Salazar López. They have dubbed the newly-found phenomenon, discovered by using thermal imaging cameras on volunteers, ‘The Pinocchio Effect’.

Telling a lie may not make your nose grow like Pinocchio but it does send its temperature soaring, according to Spanish scientists.

A rise in anxiety will see the tip of the nose heat up – while making a ‘great mental effort’ will help in cooling it down – says the University of Granada’s Emilio Gómez Milán and Elvira Salazar López.

They have dubbed the newly-found phenomenon, discovered by using thermal imaging cameras on volunteers, ‘The Pinocchio Effect’.

It is an homage to Italian writer Carlo Collodi’s 19th century literary wooden character whose nose grew when he came under stress – especially when he failed to tell the truth.

The pair’s doctoral thesis research, released yesterday, indicated the temperature of the nose increases or decreases according to mood, as does the orbital muscle area in the inner corner of the eyes.

They claimed that thermal imaging can detect sexual desire and arousal in both men and women, evident by an increase in temperature in the chest and genital areas.

And their work also demonstrated that, at a physiological level at least, men and women become aroused at the same time, although women subjectively indicate that they are not.

They made their conclusions after finding that, when people lie about their feelings, the brain’s insular cortex is altered.

The scientists’ statement said: ‘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.

‘The more activity in the insular cortex (the higher the visceral feeling), lower heat exchange occurs, and vice versa.’

Part of the results of their study have been published in scientific journals, while others have not, reported El Mundo newspaper.

The pair also found thermal footprints (that is body patterns with specific temperature changes) for aerobic exercise and distinct types of dance, such as ballet.

Salazar said: ‘When someone dances Flamenco, the temperature in their buttocks lowers and it rises in their forearms. This is the thermal footprint for Flamenco, although each type of dance has its own.’
