In the sport context there are relevant differences in psychological and emotional variables depending on the level of competition and years of practice. The aim of this study was firstly compare the existence of differences in several personality variables such as competitiveness, competitive anxiety, and coping strategies, between two female basketball teams of different leagues. Secondly, the aim was to analyze the relationships between psychological variables and the years of practice. 20 female athletes completed a battery of questionnaires. The results showed that the team which played at a higher level in a more difficult and competitive league, was more competitive and showed higher anxiety levels, being more perseverant and meticulous in their decision-making than the players of team of minor league. Finally, the most years in competition, the most competitiveness, active coping and energy reported. In conclusion, it is recommended to extend the sample and deepen the psychological characteristics of female basketball players

Wet and dry African dust episodes over eastern Spain

The impact of the African dust on levels of atmospheric suspended particulate matter (SPM) and on wet deposition was evaluated in eastern Iberia for the period 1996-2002. An effort was made to compile both the SPM and wet episodes. To this end, the time series of levels of TSP and PM10 in Levantine air quality monitoring stations were evaluated and complemented with the computation of back trajectories, satellite images, and meteorological analysis. Wet deposition frequency was obtained from weekly collected precipitation data at a rural background station in which the African chemical signature was identified (mainly pH and Ca2+ concentrations). A number of African dust episodes (112) were identified (16 episodes per year). In 93 out of the 112 (13 episodes per year) the African dust influence caused high SPM levels. In 49 out of 112 (7 episodes per year), wet deposition was detected, and the chemistry was influenced by dust. There is a clear seasonal trend with higher frequency of dust outbreaks in May-August, with second modes in March and October. Wet events followed a different pattern, with a marked maximum in May. Except for one event, December was devoid of African air mass intrusions. On the basis of seasonal meteorological patterns affecting the Iberian Peninsula, an interpretation of the meteorological scenarios causing African dust transport over Iberia was carried out. Four scenarios were identified with a clear seasonal trend. The impact of the different dust outbreak scenarios on the levels of PM10 recorded at a rural site (Monagrega, Teruel, Spain) in the period 1996-2002 was also evaluated

El objetivo del presente estudio es doble: por una parte comparar la existencia de diferencias en variables competitividad, ansiedad competitiva, personalidad y estrategias de afrontamiento entre dos equipos femeninos de baloncesto, y, por otra, analizar las relaciones entre las variables psicológicas y los años de práctica deportiva. La muestra estuvo conformada por 20 mujeres deportistas, las cuales completaron una batería de cuestionarios. Los resultados mostraron que el equipo que jugaba en un nivel superior, en una competición con mayor dificultad y competitividad y tenían mayores niveles en competitividad y ansiedad, mostrándose más perseverantes y meticulosas en la toma de decisiones en comparación con las jugadoras que militaban en la liga menor. Además, aquellas que llevaban más años de práctica deportiva, eran más competitivas, utilizaban estrategias de afrontamiento activo y puntuaron más en energía. En conclusión, se recomienda ampliar la muestra y profundizar en las características psicológicas de las jugadoras de baloncesto femenino

Revista del CPR de Ciudad Lineal

El Seminario del CP Alberto Alcocer, creado para reflexionar sobre la literatura infantil, recuperar la infancia y el pensar de los niños, analiza la vigencia actual de la obra 'El Principito' de Antoine de Saint-Exupéry a través de la lectura e interpretación de la obra con los alumnos de infantil del centro. El artículo presenta las diversas actividades (lecturas, interpretación de dibujos, juegos) que se realizaron con los alumnos, además de incluir la metodología y evaluación.MadridES

Revista del CPR de Ciudad Lineal

Se presenta como experiencia el Taller de la Ciencia en la escuela infantil y primaria. Se justifica tras analizar, a través de la observación, el comportamiento de los niños ante lo desconocido, las preguntas que plantean, su deseo de manipular objetos para reconocerlos, etc. En este sentido, la experiencia consiste en acercar al niño a la ciencia a través de la realización de experimentos a partir de materiales asequibles y cotidianos.MadridES
