technology in my life

Today is the last post I do in this blog, so I will finish writting a brief essay about the technology I used during this year in some subjects or in my house in relation with the university and if really it help me for improve my performance in the tests and in my knowledge about some things in relation with my career, physical therapy. In the high school, I never use any type of object associated with technology, although in some subjects like physics or biology were necessary, that because my college was a bit poor, then haven´t opportunities to buy technology tools and in that years I haven´t got computer in my home.
When I entered to the university, my parents bought me a notebook because they thought could be a necessary tool in my university life and it has really be very important, because all
the group works I need use programs like microsoft word o power point and share information with other group members via messenger; the vast majority of my classes can be downloaded through a university site and so I can read it directly; other things I can do are:clarify questions about things a little more difficult, read scientifics articles that help me a understand better some structural and functional aspects of the human body. Being objetive, in the university I only has using some technological tools, in histology we needed use microscopes for see the tissues at the celular level and lately in functional anatomy, we use machines to measure blood pressure, the amount of air expired or the amount of hemoglobin circulating in the blood. Another technological aspect of the university is using a card for the library and so I can order the books or that managers know if I'm relate on the repayment of a text.
To finish I want to say I think the university has aspects that improve in technology and make this faculty a much more associated with technological tools, for example should buy new computers and good quality or the differents careers need specific tools according to your needs and what they learn in theirs career. So I think the technology play a important role in this university phase and I believe will be vital during the five year of the career and during my profesional life.

the future and phisical therapy

hi ¡¡¡ Now I´m going to write about the challenges in my career, physical therapy in Chile and in the world. In this century, technology plays a key role in any profession and for a physical therapist working with the patient in a direct way remains the most important thing, but the tools used in the treatment ( for the professional to improve any injury or illness become specialized to pass the years and so provide a better service to people; some machines are very expensive to pay it for health services in this country, for that sometimes physical therapists have to work with the maximum of the imagination and give the maximum quality with very few resources, unlike other countries with more resources and can pay machines and perhaps offer a better quality of service, but I repeat that for a physical therapist the most important thing is like he works directly with the sick person.
This career always have had a big contact with the patient, but the room to work

my faculty isn´t perfect

Hello¡¡ today I´m going to talk about the some problems my faculty has got to improve...
To begin, I will say some problems in relation with the infraestructure: this faculty is very old and it seem a hospital ( many friends told me that), I think should be revamped a bit and give it a more modern aspect like some other faculties like FEN o Beaucheff; areas to rest a while are very small, only the CES and some green areas, but they are small places and in the CES microwave should work all or have more comfortable chair or have more games to entertain a moment.
During the class of my GFC, the data isn´t to the hour y then the class relate and the teacher have to teach the subject very quick; in other classes most important, the microphone don´t work or the teacher arrive late; lack of coordination sometimes occur with the original schedule, I mean, sometimes in the schedule is put there are class and the teacher is not arrive , or in other warn us one day before that on the schedule they forget that there are classes that day. To improve that only must have an organization among all who participate in activities and with regard to technology should buy new computers, more books for the library, I think should have more kiosks and definitely the faculty need a casino where the food is better, because now the food they give is not very good.
I think that some things improve, the benefit would be for everyone and obviously the students would feel more comfortable with their environment and with the faculty.

hobbies of the life

Hello again, now I going to write about the things I like do in my free time, but in relation with the hobbies I practice in my life.
When I was a child, I was a person liked collect some things and do things more related with the word hobby, but with the time I think I've stopped doing most constant hobbies in my life; when I was six -seven years old I loved play Super nintendo, go out to play with the friends, collecting albums, stickers and other things that were coming in the candies that I ate. That hobbies helped you be more sociable with other children, share things and exchanging it.
Now in mi life of the university, I play table tennis or taca-taca, for first time I go to the gym two time for week for get better physical ability and a healthier life, I feel this has been one of the best things of studying physical therapy. When I´m in the notebook, I like watch in youtube trailers of many movies, old or new movies (some trailers I see it many times), I feel the trailers always will be the best in a movie and can tell us if it was or will be a good or bad movie, too I like listen the soundtrack of the movies. Obviously I also see many movies of all types: comedy, war, drama, love, science fiction, fantasy, etc, although inthe TV some movies repeat them all the time and not renew the programming. Some TV series I did not lose any chapter are LOST and Grey´s Anatomy.
Other thing I do sometimes is go to the church to meet with the friends.
Finally the hobbies are a part important in the life any person and they represent a part of your personality.

summeeeeeeee¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

Hi, this time I´m going to write about my holidays.
To begin I will say every year since I was a baby, my family in mid-February lease houses in the central coast between ten to fifteen days to enjoy our holidays in big. We always went many persons: grandmother, aunts, uncles, cousins, my brothers and other persons.....
The places they chose was El Quisco, Algarrobo, El Tabo, Costa Azul, Isla Negra or or near these places ...really that days were fantastic: in the morning get up early, walk to the beach (actually we walked a lot), to swim in the sea all day, to enjoy the sunny days, or to plan trips coldest days, then we came home with the satisfaction of having pass a great moment and also enjoy those warm nights on the beach, laughing, talking or playing. In the end of holidays we did a barbacue where we remembered the great moments of our trip y play the 'secret friend' ... really I would like go out to have my holidays and start to enjoy it, but there is still a bit to finish my first year of university. Moreover the days I´m in Santiago, I try to meet with friends, going to parties, and enjoy the three months to the maximum one has to disconnect of the world.
This summer I still really do not know where I will go, but there are some travel conversations with friends and family very interesting to know some parts of chile: with my friends of the universityt we have thinking to go we have thinking going to the house in Coihueco of Tamy ;is a good option because we would know places we have never visited and we save money.
My family have thinkink the next year, we will go

summary

Hello¡¡¡¡¡ today I´m going to write about an scientific article of the The guardian´s newspaper in relation with my carrer, physical therapy.
Researchs done by swiss and american scientists about paralysed rats gave the result that across a rigorous plan of rehabilitation, the rats could return to have the aptituds to walk; the rats couldn´t walk because they were presenting a problem to the spinal and so the spinal cord couldn´t received information from the brain to make the movements, therefore was impossible to have a neurological contact with the muscles.
However, the scientists found out that a mix of drugs, muscle stimulation and treadmill exercises helped the rats could have the capacity to walk again. The treatment was that the neural circuits that were 'off'to return to normality gradually after stimulations by tiny electrodes plus the other things named.
The results show the rats during the first weeks, they couldn´t move their hind legs at all, but the next weeks, they could stand up and walk almost normal.
This results some day would can be applicable to human beings, give them many benefits to their lives.
I hope this newspapers give to the world so good scientifics articles to can read and learn.

santiago ¡¡¡¡¡

Hi again, this week I will annotate places of santiago to visit for foreign tourists. These places represent the Chilean culture and they will can to learn new things about the people of our country.Here a list of some places and activities:
-If you want to know important places for the chilean history, I recommend to visit the plaza de armas(the point zero of santiago), the 'palacio de la moneda' or the templo de maipu (place very important, because here Chile defeated the Spanish people and achieve the independence. All this places are national monuments.
- If you like nature then santiago give you some alternatives: some hills will show you a down town area like the cerro Santa Lucia and cerro San Cristobal (this hill presents great vegetation and is a very beautiful place to make sports like run or running a bike). Also on the outskirts of the city there are other areas like the cajon del maipo or Pomaire. If your you never knew the snow or you like the sports related to the snow, then our mountain range is the perfect place to combine enterteinment, nature and rest, so you can go to la Parva or Farellones.
-If you like know the culture,then you need to visit some museum very interesting in the city like the museun Bellas Artes, el Contemporaneo or the de La Moneda. Also is the Pablo Neruda´s house in the barrio Bellavista or the Parque O´Higgins.
-If You are a fanatic of the food in Stgo there are a lot of restaurant to eat, especially in Bellavista. There are restaurants of domestic food or fast food
I hope this words some day help to the foreing that visit CHILE.
