Anatomy of the Chest, Neck, Abdomen, and Pelvis
WARNING: THESE VIDEOS CONTAIN IMAGES OF HUMAN DISSECTION. MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME. Human structure is important to all of us as it has been for millennia. Artists, teachers, health care providers, scientists and most children try to understand the human form from stick figure drawings to electron microscopy. Learning the form of people is of great interest to us – physicians, nurses, physician assistants, emergency medical services personnel and many, many others. Learning anatomy classically involved dissection of the deceased whether directly in the laboratory or from texts, drawings, photographs or videos. There are many wonderful resources for the study of anatomy. Developing an understanding of the human form requires significant work and a wide range of resources. In this course, we have attempted to present succinct videos of human anatomy. Some will find these images to be disturbing and these images carry a need to respect the individual who decided to donate their remains to benefit our teaching and learning. All of the dissections depicted in the following videos are from individuals who gave their remains to be used in the advancement of medical education and research after death to the Yale School of Medicine. The sequence of videos is divided into classic anatomic sections. Each video has a set of learning objectives and a brief quiz at the end. Following each section there is another quiz covering the entire section in order for you to test your knowledge. We hope these videos will help you better understand the human form, make time that you may have in the laboratory more worthwhile if you have that opportunity and help you develop an appreciation of the wonderful intricacies of people. ANATOMY OF THE CHEST, NECK, ABDOMEN, AND PELVIS WAS PRODUCED IN PART DUE TO THE GENEROUS FUNDING OF THE DAVID F. SWENSEN FUND FOR INNOVATION IN TEACHING.

Ciencia de datos energéticos
La ciencia de datos puede entenderse como la aplicación del potencial de la ciencia de datos en la búsqueda de soluciones novedosas a problemas del sector energético. Este curso busca facilitar la comprensión de cómo es ese proceso y, para ello, se enfoca exclusivamente en el subsector de la energía eléctrica. Para desarrollar un proyecto de ciencia de datos energéticos se necesita que confluyan dos tipos de conocimiento: por una parte, un conocimiento sobre el sector eléctrico (cómo es su estructura, cuáles son sus principales retos, cómo funciona) y , por otra, un conocimiento sobre la ciencia de datos (cuáles son sus fundamentos, cómo opera, qué tipo de aportes puede dar). Por esa razón, es usual que se constituyan equipos interdisciplinarios en los que confluyen tanto expertos en energía como expertos en análisis de datos. No es fácil para estos expertos poder dialogar, porque el conocimiento especializado suele tener también un lenguaje especializado y no es fácil compartir la experticia con personas que no son especialistas en nuestro campo de conocimiento. Justamente, este curso busca ayudar a facilitar ese diálogo y a sobrepasar esas barreras de comunicación. Para ello, lo que haremos será presentar los elementos básicos, fundamentales de cada una de las dos áreas del conocimiento con una perspectiva más amplia que profunda. El propósito es el de adquirir una comprensión de alto nivel de tanto los elementos del sector eléctrico como de la ciencia de datos. Aspiramos que, al finalizar exitosamente este curso, usted pueda entender y explicar cómo funciona el proceso de ciencia de datos aplicado a los problemas del sector eléctrico. ¿Cómo está estructurado el curso? El curso tiene seis módulos y en cada uno de esos módulos trabajamos un tema del área de energía y un tema del área de ciencia de datos, que confluyen en una aplicación concreta o, al menos, en una etapa de una aplicación concreta. En cada módulo, usted encontrará: - videos explicativos - un laboratorio no calificado - un laboratorio calificado - un cuestionario calificado. Los laboratorios son espacios para desarrollar tareas en lenguaje Python. No esperamos que usted sea un experto desarrollador de programas en Python, pero sí que tenga algún tipo de experticia en programación. ¿Para quién es este curso? Hemos imaginado este curso teniendo en mente dos posibles perfiles: 1) un perfil de alguien con conocimientos sobre el sector energético que quiere explorar qué puede aprovechar de la ciencia de datos; y 2) un perfil de alguien con conocimientos en ciencia de datos que quiere explorar cómo puede aportar esos conocimientos en el área del sector energético. Por ej.: Este curso está dedicado principalmente a estudiantes universitarios de primer y segundo año interesados en ciencia e ingeniería, junto con estudiantes de secundaria y profesionales interesados en programación.
