This research analyses the image of women in the most listened music videos made by women in reggaeton, a genre known for the sexualization of women. The main purpose is to learn whether female artists recreate those gender stereotypes, or whether they offer alternate discourses. Through the triangulation of the narrative analysis, it has been determined that female reggaeton artists maintain the visual imagery that sexualises women, although almost half of the songs show a new image for women, who enjoy sex as a way to free themselves. The singers equal themselves to the male visual discourse and take symbols of power linked to active attitudes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study evaluated the usefulness of a cognitive and functional rehabilitation of memory program for patients with acquired brain injury. Ten participants with mild- to -moderate cognitive impairment participated in the study; five of them for four months attended a weekly rehabilitation program, while the other five did not receive any neuropsychological intervention. The results showed that the rehabilitation group improved the score in the Wechsler HI Memory Scale. Similarly, it was found that the score on the memory scale of failure of the daily life only improved in the group that received rehabilitation. The results suggest that memory rehabilitation program is useful in the treatment of both cognitive and functional sequels resulting from acquired brain damage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
