Taller de geofísica : geomagnetisme
El magnetisme i en particular el camp magnètic de la Terra s'ensenya als alumnes des de la primària fins al batxillerat en diferents moments i amb un aprofundiment progressiu. Aquest article pretén complementar l'estudi del camp magnètic al batxillerat amb una acti-vitat pràctica sobre una tempesta magnètica enregistrada a l'Observatori de l'Ebre. El treball consta d'una introducció als conceptes bàsics que permeten comprendre el camp geomagnètic, les tempestes magnètiques i l'enregistrament que se'n fa en un ob-servatori magnètic. L'objectiu final serà donar una mesura de l'activitat magnètica. La re-solució d'un qüestionari ajudarà a reforçar aquests conceptes i facilitarà la mesura dels índexs d'activitat magnètica

Sustainable rural development through vocational education: Sot River landscape restoration workshop
[EN] Most of the small towns in the inner area of Spain have problems with the loss of population, low economic
development, and unemployment. This is a widespread phenomenon in many areas, such as the Valencia
region, where significant differences exist between the periphery coastal zone and the interior.
Some of these towns have natural resources like highlands, rivers, and vegetation as significant tourist
attractions. Vocational education programs are oriented to increase the employment of the residents
while keeping the characteristics of its population and its territory in the different municipalities.
Sot de Chera, located in the region of the Serranía (70 km from Valencia), is one of these municipalities.
This paper presents the educational experience using one of these programs and workshops for the
recovery of an area of outstanding landscape and environmental value.
During the last decade, some efforts have been made to combine these natural resources with other
activities to increase the area¿s population and economic activity.
The case presented uses a combination of teaching methodologies and practical training connected
with the daily life and activities of the people in the town. It has also involved all the inhabitants, including
their different opinions and participation.
The results obtained during the training and occupational project demonstrate the great potential of
these interventions. These types of activities and programs have become a substantial improvement for
the sustainable development of these areas.This project was carried out thanks to the funding received from the Servicio Valenciano de Empleo y
Formación (SERVEF), with the project Taller de Empleo restauración paisajística del Rio Sot 2014
(ETCOTE file FOTAE 2014/47/46), with the collaboration of the Sot de Chera Town hall.
The authors thank the staff of SERVEF and the Sot de Chera town hall for providing the support and
resources needed to carry out the activities.López-Mateu, V.; Pellicer, TM.; Blanch Vanacloig, J. (2022). Sustainable rural development through vocational education: Sot River landscape restoration workshop. IATED. 9951-9959. https://doi.org/10.21125/edulearn.2022.24009951995
Gamma rays from microquasars Cygnus X-1 and Cygnus X-3
Gamma-ray observations of microquasars at high and very-high energies can
provide valuable information of the acceleration processes inside the jets, the
jet-environment interaction and the disk-jet coupling. Two high-mass
microquasars have been deeply studied to shed light on these aspects: Cygnus
X-1 and Cygnus X-3. Both systems display the canonical hard and soft X-ray
spectral states of black hole transients, where the radiation is dominated by
non-thermal emission from the corona and jets and by thermal emission from the
disk, respectively. Here, we report on the detection of Cygnus X-1 above 60 MeV
using 7.5 yr of Pass8 Fermi-LAT data, correlated with the hard X-ray state. A
hint of orbital flux modulation was also found, as the source is only detected
in phases around the compact object superior conjunction. We conclude that the
high-energy gamma-ray emission from Cygnus X-1 is most likely associated with
jets and its detection allow us to constrain the production site. Moreover, we
include in the discussion the final results of a MAGIC long-term campaign on
Cygnus X-1 that reaches almost 100 hr of observations at different X-ray
states. On the other hand, during summer 2016, Cygnus X-3 underwent a flaring
activity period in radio and high-energy gamma rays, similar to the one that
led to its detection in the high-energy regime in 2009. MAGIC performed
comprehensive follow-up observations for a total of about 70 hr. We discuss our
results in a multi-wavelength context.Comment: Proceedings of the 35th International Cosmic Ray Conference (ICRC
