Abstract: This work offers a theoretical revision of studies that have been made about learning and thinking styles, and sensory representation systems. The purpose is to demonstrate the importance of using methodological strategies and resources in the learning process, responding to the different learning stylesand representation systems, so that every student learning is met, according to their evolutionary cycle, development level, and learning needs, with the aim of increasing the motivation levels, strengthening the learning quality and obtaining a better academic performance.

E-mail: arialys. hernandez@umcc.cu Resumen— En el presente trabajo se muestra la importancia y vigencia de la Gestión por Procesos y el papel que ha desarrollado en los últimos años como una excelente herramienta para la concreción de las estrategias y el desarrollo de la Mejora Continua con un enfoque holístico y sistémico de la organización. Se plantea la necesidad que presentan las organizaciones en la actualidad en considerar el enfoque de procesos desde el mismo momento de diseño de sus estrategias y no solo como un proceso de mejora. Se realiza un estudio de la evolución de los conceptos de proceso y gestión por procesos.

TL;DR: For instance, the authors argued that the features displayed in this private cognitive domain are the only genuinely simple qualitative features, on grounds that their external brethren all turn out to admit of a structural, relational, causal, or functional analysis of some kind after all.
Abstract: Philosophers have long been familiar with the contrast between predicates or concepts that denote or express “qualitative simples,” as opposed to predicates or concepts that denote or express “structural, relational, causal, or functional” features. The tendency has been to think of these two classes of properties as being ontologically quite different from each other. Paradigm examples of the former would be features such as the redness of a tomato, the sweetness of sugar, the low pitch of a sound, and the warmth of a hearth. These particular examples, all features of things in the objective physical world, would be joined by a further population of presumed qualitative simples, features displayed in the conscious states of a human or other cognitive creature, features such as the qualitative character of your visual sensation of a tomato, of your gustatory sensation of a sugar cube, of your auditory sensation of a sound, and of your tactile sensation of a glowing hearth. Indeed, some may want to insist that the features displayed in this private cognitive domain are the only genuinely simple qualitative features, on grounds that their external brethren all turn out to admit of a structural, relational, causal, or functional analysis of some kind after all.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors distinguish between "substantival" and "functional" forms of vitalism in the eighteenth century, and discuss representative figures of the Montpellier school (Bordeu, Menuret, Fouquet) as functional rather than substantival vitalists, and suggest an additional point regarding the reprisal of vitalisms in the 20 th century, from Driesch to Canguilhem.
Abstract: I distinguish between ‘substantival’ and ‘functional’ forms of vitalism in the eighteenth century. Substantival vitalism presupposes the existence of a (substantive) vital force which either plays a causal role in the natural world as studied scientifically, or remains an immaterial, extra-causal entity. Functional vitalism tends to operate ‘post facto’, from the existence of living bodies to the search for explanatory models that will account for their uniquely ‘vital’ properties better than fully mechanistic models can. I discuss representative figures of the Montpellier school (Bordeu, Menuret, Fouquet) as functional rather than substantival vitalists, and suggest an additional point regarding the reprisal of vitalism(s) in the 20 th century, from Driesch to Canguilhem: that in addition to the substantival and functional varieties, we encounter a third species of vitalism, which I term ‘attitudinal’, as it argues for vitalism as a kind of attitude.
