Evaluación formativa y de calidad de la competencia genérica "comunicación eficaz oral y escrita" en titulaciones técnicas

[SPA] En este trabajo, hemos llevado a cabo la evaluación de una actividad formativa enmarcada dentro de la competencia genérica “comunicación eficaz oral y escrita” con el fin de comprobar si el proceso evaluativo propuesto cumple con los estándares de calidad definidos por expertos y agencias de evaluación. La búsqueda e implementación de modelos de evaluación coherentes con los resultados esperados del aprendizaje y orientados a la calidad van a ser claves en los futuros procesos de acreditación de los títulos universitarios ya que, si están bien diseñados permitirán verificar la consecución de las competencias descritas en el perfil de formación de los Grados. En este artículo, tras definir los criterios de calidad evaluativa, se comenta la estructura curricular de dicha competencia genérica y del proceso de selección de la rúbrica empleada. Los resultados obtenidos ponen de manifiesto la importancia del proceso de planificación, divulgación y retroalimentación para satisfacer los criterios de adecuación, autenticidad, transparencia, viabilidad y carácter formativo de la evaluación. En relación con la validez y fiabilidad del proceso de evaluación, se plantean una serie de posibles estrategias para la mejora de ambos parámetros. [ENG] This paper reports the design and test of an evaluation tool for formative activities in the field of the generic competence "Effective written and oral communication". The agreement of the evaluative results with the standards defined by experts and quality assurance agencies is discussed. The importance of defining evaluation tools that are coherent with the expected learning outcomes relies on the necessity to verify the achievement of the competences defined in Graduate programs. We define the quality criteria for the evaluation of the generic competence and therefore its curriculum structure and the selection of the adequate rubric for evaluation. The results obtained state the importance of the planning, circulation and feedback of the evaluation process, in order to assure the requirements for adequacy, authenticity, transparency, viability and formative character. Finally, some strategies are proposed in order to improve the validity and reliability of these evaluation tools

Role of age and comorbidities in mortality of patients with infective endocarditis

[Purpose]: The aim of this study was to analyse the characteristics of patients with IE in three groups of age and to assess the ability of age and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) to predict mortality. [Methods]: Prospective cohort study of all patients with IE included in the GAMES Spanish database between 2008 and 2015.Patients were stratified into three age groups:<65 years,65 to 80 years,and ≥ 80 years.The area under the receiver-operating characteristic (AUROC) curve was calculated to quantify the diagnostic accuracy of the CCI to predict mortality risk. [Results]: A total of 3120 patients with IE (1327 < 65 years;1291 65-80 years;502 ≥ 80 years) were enrolled.Fever and heart failure were the most common presentations of IE, with no differences among age groups.Patients ≥80 years who underwent surgery were significantly lower compared with other age groups (14.3%,65 years; 20.5%,65-79 years; 31.3%,≥80 years). In-hospital mortality was lower in the <65-year group (20.3%,<65 years;30.1%,65-79 years;34.7%,≥80 years;p < 0.001) as well as 1-year mortality (3.2%, <65 years; 5.5%, 65-80 years;7.6%,≥80 years; p = 0.003).Independent predictors of mortality were age ≥ 80 years (hazard ratio [HR]:2.78;95% confidence interval [CI]:2.32–3.34), CCI ≥ 3 (HR:1.62; 95% CI:1.39–1.88),and non-performed surgery (HR:1.64;95% CI:11.16–1.58).When the three age groups were compared,the AUROC curve for CCI was significantly larger for patients aged <65 years(p < 0.001) for both in-hospital and 1-year mortality. [Conclusion]: There were no differences in the clinical presentation of IE between the groups. Age ≥ 80 years, high comorbidity (measured by CCI),and non-performance of surgery were independent predictors of mortality in patients with IE.CCI could help to identify those patients with IE and surgical indication who present a lower risk of in-hospital and 1-year mortality after surgery, especially in the <65-year group

Nuevas aportaciones sobre la muralla de Teruel: normas constructivas, nuevos hallazgos arqueológicos y consideraciones sobre el Portal de San Miguel

Resulta innegable el protagonismo que adquieren las murallas en el urbanismo medieval. En esta ocasión, queremos profundizar en determinados aspectos relacionados con el recinto amurallado de la ciudad de Teruel tales como el sistema de trabajo empleado, los materiales y las herramientas utilizados o su financiación. Además, fijaremos nuestra atención en dos asuntos puntuales: la aparición de importantes restos relacionados con el primitivo sistema defensivo de Teruel y la constatación documental que certifica la cronología medieval del Portal de San Miguel. Todo ello con un objetivo: contribuir a la puesta en valor definitiva de los importantes restos de la muralla turolense que, por fin, se están restaurando.The prominence that city walls attained in medieval town planning is undeniable. This time, we want to go into certain aspects related to the city wall round the grounds of the city of Teruel in depth, such as the working system and the materials and tools which were used or its financing. Moreover, we will focus our attention on two precise watters: the appearance of important remains related to the primitive defensive system of Teruel and the documentary verification to certify the medieval cronology of the gate of San Miguel. All this one objective: contributing to give the remains of the wall of Teruel, which are being restored at last, their true value definitively

La transhumance dans la communauté de Aldeas de Teruel (xiiie-xve siècles)

Sans les travaux réalisés, d’ethnographes et d’historiens, des activités comme la transhumance auraient pu s’ajouter à une hypothétique liste de pratiques et de discours en voie d’extinction. Que la transhumance soit perçue comme une activité associée à un passé lointain n’est pas en soi déshonorant mais ce n’est pas bon non plus. Car elle existe encore et les usages et coutumes qui lui sont associés risquent de disparaître. Notre responsabilité en tant qu’historiens est de considérer que la ..

Neogene lithological units at the west end of the Guadalquivir Basin and their correlations with the Huelva-1 borehole (Huelva - Spain)

A detailed surveying and a new geological map of the sheet at 1:50.000 number 999/1016 (Huelva - Los Caños), located at the west end of the Guadalquivir Basin, has been carried out. This data allows us to propose a new organization of the lithological units present at the west side of the Odiel River. These units include all the sedimentary record in this sector of the Guadalquivir Basin, ranging from Tortonian to Pliocene, but with shallower and coarser facies that are only present in this part of the basin. This fact is due to the location of the area, probably less subsiding due to a longer distance from Betic-Rif orogen. The lithological units are described concisely and a correlation with the core of the Huelva-1 borehole and with the outcrops of Huelva – Palos de la Frontera area is also proposed. The units are organized in a stack of sequences with a progradational pattern, typical of a basin margin, and highlighting a gradual reduction of the accommodation space in the late Messinian and during the Pliocene.Unidad de Tres Cantos, Instituto Geológico y Minero de España, EspañaUnidad de Zaragoza, Instituto Geológico y Minero de España, EspañaDepartamento de Geología, Universidad de Atacama, ChileDepartamento de Ciencias de la Tierra, Universidad de Huelva, EspañaDepartament d'Estratigrafia, Paleontologia i Geociències Marines, Universitat de Barcelona, EspañaDepartamento de Geodinámica, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, EspañaInstituto Geológico y Minero de España, Españ

Transhumance et estivage en Occident

Des milliers de bêtes trottinant dans le tintement des sonnailles ont construit une image mythique des déplacements de troupeaux. Si aujourd'hui l'âge d'or d'un élevage fortement spéculatif semble révolu, de nouvelles préoccupations patrimoniales ou environnementalistes redonnent toute leur actualité aux enjeux de la transhumance et de l'estivage. Au-delà de l'étonnante variété des types d'élevage, l'étude des acteurs sociaux, de la construction des territoires, de l’organisation étatique ont été au cœur des interrogations portant sur un large espace géographique incluant le Maghreb. Les approches croisées d'historiens, d'archéologues, de juristes, de géographes et d'ethnologues contribuent à la richesse des analyses de ce volume
